Jātaka Pārijāta

श्रीकान्ताजशिवस्वरूपममरज्योतिर्गणस्वामिनं मायातीतमशेषजीवजगतामीशं दिनेशं रविम् । नत्वा गर्गपराशरादिरचितं सङ्गृह्य होराफलं वक्ष्ये जातकपारिजातमखिलज्योतिर्विदां प्रीतये

śrīkāntājaśivasvarūpamamarajyotirgaṇasvāminaṃ māyātītamaśeṣajīvajagatāmīśaṃ dineśaṃ ravim | natvā gargaparāśarādiracitaṃ saṅgṛhya horāphalaṃ vakṣye jātakapārijātamakhilajyotirvidāṃ prītaye

Having bowed to the Sun, Ravi, the lord of day — whose very form is Śrīkānta ⟨Viṣṇu⟩, Aja ⟨Brahmā⟩ and Śiva, the master of the host of immortal lights, beyond māyā, the lord of all living beings and of all the worlds — and having gathered up the fruits of horā composed by Garga, Parāśara and the rest, I shall declare the Jātaka Pārijāta, for the delight of all who know jyotiṣa.

भारद्वाजकुलोद्भवस्य विदुषः श्रीवेंकटाद्रेरिह । ज्योतिःशास्त्रविशारदस्य तनयः श्रीवैद्यनाथः सुधीः । होरासारसुधारसज्ञविबुधश्रेणीमनःप्रीतये । राशिस्थाननिरूपणादि सकलं वक्ष्ये यथानुक्रमम्

bhāradvājakulodbhavasya viduṣaḥ śrīveṃkaṭādreriha | jyotiḥśāstraviśāradasya tanayaḥ śrīvaidyanāthaḥ sudhīḥ | horāsārasudhārasajñavibudhaśreṇīmanaḥprītaye | rāśisthānanirūpaṇādi sakalaṃ vakṣye yathānukramam

Here the wise Śrī Vaidyanātha, son of the learned Śrī Veṅkaṭādri, born in the family of Bhāradvāja and accomplished in jyotiḥśāstra — for the delight of the minds of the ranks of the learned who know the nectar-essence of horā — shall declare the whole, beginning with the determination of the rāśis and the bhāvas, in due order.

प्रणम्य वन्दारुजनाभिवन्द्यपदारविन्दं रघुनायकस्य । सङ्गृह्य सारावलिमुख्यतन्त्रं करोम्यहं जातकपारिजातम्

praṇamya vandārujanābhivandyapadāravindaṃ raghunāyakasya | saṅgṛhya sārāvalimukhyatantraṃ karomyahaṃ jātakapārijātam

Having bowed to the lotus-feet of Raghunātha ⟨Rāma⟩, feet worthy of the homage of all who do homage, and having gathered together the Sārāvalī and the other principal treatises, I make the Jātaka Pārijāta.

मेषाज विश्वक्रियतुम्बुराद्या वृषोक्षगोताबुरुगोकुलानि । द्वन्द्वं नृयुग्मं जितुमं यमं च युगं तृतीयं मिथुनं वदन्ति

meṣāja viśvakriyatumburādyā vṛṣokṣagotāburugokulāni | dvandvaṃ nṛyugmaṃ jitumaṃ yamaṃ ca yugaṃ tṛtīyaṃ mithunaṃ vadanti

Meṣa, Aja, Viśva, Kriya, Tumburu and the rest ⟨are names of the first sign⟩; Vṛṣa, Ukṣan, Go, Tāvuru and Gokula ⟨of the second⟩; Dvandva, Nṛyugma, Jituma, Yama and Yuga — the third they call Mithuna.

कुलीरकर्काटककर्कटाख्याः कण्ठीरवः सिंहमृगेन्द्रलेयाः । पाथोनकन्यारमणीतरुण्यस्तौली वणिक्जूकतुलाधटाश्च

kulīrakarkāṭakakarkaṭākhyāḥ kaṇṭhīravaḥ siṃhamṛgendraleyāḥ | pāthonakanyāramaṇītaruṇyastaulī vaṇikjūkatulādhaṭāśca

Kulīra, Karkāṭaka and Karkaṭa are the names ⟨of the fourth⟩; Kaṇṭhīrava, Siṃha, Mṛgendra and Leya ⟨of the fifth⟩; Pāthona, Kanyā, Ramaṇī and Taruṇī ⟨of the sixth⟩; and Taulī, Vaṇij, Jūka, Tulā and Dhaṭa ⟨of the seventh⟩.

अल्यष्टमं वृश्चिककौर्पिकीटाः धन्वी धनुश्चापशरासनानि । मृगो मृगास्यो मकरश्च नक्रः कुम्भो घटस्तोयधराभिधानः

alyaṣṭamaṃ vṛścikakaurpikīṭāḥ dhanvī dhanuścāpaśarāsanāni | mṛgo mṛgāsyo makaraśca nakraḥ kumbho ghaṭastoyadharābhidhānaḥ

The eighth is Ali, Vṛścika, Kaurpi and Kīṭa; Dhanvin, Dhanus, Cāpa and Śarāsana ⟨the ninth⟩; Mṛga, Mṛgāsya, Makara and Nakra ⟨the tenth⟩; Kumbha, Ghaṭa and the one named Toyadhara ⟨the eleventh⟩.

मीनान्त्यमत्स्यपृथुरोमझषा वदन्ति दस्रादिकर्क्षनवपादयुताः क्रियाद्याः । चक्रस्थिता दिविचरा दिननाथसंख्याः क्षेत्रर्क्षराशिभवनानि भसंज्ञितानि

mīnāntyamatsyapṛthuromajhaṣā vadanti dasrādikarkṣanavapādayutāḥ kriyādyāḥ | cakrasthitā divicarā dinanāthasaṃkhyāḥ kṣetrarkṣarāśibhavanāni bhasaṃjñitāni

Mīna, Antya, Matsya, Pṛthuroman and Jhaṣa they declare ⟨for the twelfth⟩. The signs beginning with Kriya are made up of nine quarters each of the nakṣatras beginning with Dasra ⟨Aśvinī⟩. The twelve that stand in the circle and move in the sky are designated kṣetra, ṛkṣa, rāśi, bhavana and bha.

कालात्मकस्य च शिरोमुखदेशवक्षोहृत्कुक्षिभागकटिबस्तिरहस्यदेशाः । ऊरू च जानुयुगलं परतस्तु जङ्घे पादद्वयं क्रियमुखावयवाः क्रमेण

kālātmakasya ca śiromukhadeśavakṣohṛtkukṣibhāgakaṭibastirahasyadeśāḥ | ūrū ca jānuyugalaṃ paratastu jaṅghe pādadvayaṃ kriyamukhāvayavāḥ krameṇa

The head, the region of the face, the chest, the heart, the belly-region, the waist, the bladder, the private parts, the thighs, the pair of knees, then the shanks, and the two feet — these, beginning with Kriya ⟨Meṣa⟩, are in order the limbs of him whose self is Time ⟨the Kālapuruṣa⟩.

व्यत्यस्तोभयपुच्छमस्तकयुतौ मीनौ सकुम्भो नरस्तौली चापधरस्तुरङ्गजघनो नक्रो मृगास्यो भवेत् । वीणाढ्यं सगदं नृयुग्ममबला नौस्था ससस्यानला शेषाः स्वस्वगुणाभिधानसदृशाः सर्वे स्वदेशाश्रयाः

vyatyastobhayapucchamastakayutau mīnau sakumbho narastaulī cāpadharasturaṅgajaghano nakro mṛgāsyo bhavet | vīṇāḍhyaṃ sagadaṃ nṛyugmamabalā nausthā sasasyānalā śeṣāḥ svasvaguṇābhidhānasadṛśāḥ sarve svadeśāśrayāḥ

Mīna is a pair of fish joined head to tail, ⟨facing⟩ both ways; Kumbha is a man with a pot; Taulī ⟨Tulā⟩ holds the balance; Dhanus is a bow-bearer whose hindquarters are those of a horse; Nakra ⟨Makara⟩ would be a crocodile with a deer's face; Mithuna is a couple, ⟨the woman⟩ furnished with a vīṇā and ⟨the man⟩ with a mace; Kanyā is a woman standing in a boat, with grain and fire. The rest correspond to the sense of their own names. All of them rest in their own regions.

मेषस्य धातुकररत्नधरातलं स्यात् उक्ष्णस्तु सानुकृषिगोकुलकाननानि । द्यूतक्रियारतिविहारमही युगस्य वापीतटाकपुलिनानि कुलीरराशेः

meṣasya dhātukararatnadharātalaṃ syāt ukṣṇastu sānukṛṣigokulakānanāni | dyūtakriyārativihāramahī yugasya vāpītaṭākapulināni kulīrarāśeḥ

Of Meṣa, ground that yields metals and gems; of Ukṣan ⟨Vṛṣa⟩, tablelands, tilled fields, cow-pens and forests; of Yuga ⟨Mithuna⟩, ground of gambling, of love-play and of pleasure-resorts; of the sign Kulīra ⟨Karka⟩, step-wells, tanks and sandbanks.

कण्ठीरवस्य धनशैलगुहावनानि षष्ठस्य शाद्वलवधूरतिशिल्पभूमिः । सर्वार्थसारपुरपण्यमही तुलायाः कीटस्य चाश्मविधकीटबिलप्रदेशाः

kaṇṭhīravasya dhanaśailaguhāvanāni ṣaṣṭhasya śādvalavadhūratiśilpabhūmiḥ | sarvārthasārapurapaṇyamahī tulāyāḥ kīṭasya cāśmavidhakīṭabilapradeśāḥ

Of Kaṇṭhīrava ⟨Siṃha⟩, wealth-bearing mountains, caves and forests; of the sixth ⟨Kanyā⟩, grassy meadows and the ground of women's love-play and of crafts; of Tulā, cities holding the essence of all goods, and market ground; and of Kīṭa ⟨Vṛścika⟩, stony places, and the holes and burrows of creeping things.

चापस्य वाजिरथवारणवासभूमिः एणाननस्य सरिदम्बुवनप्रदेशाः । कुम्भस्य तोयघटभाण्डगृहस्थलानि मीनाधिवाससरिदम्बुधितोयराशिः

cāpasya vājirathavāraṇavāsabhūmiḥ eṇānanasya saridambuvanapradeśāḥ | kumbhasya toyaghaṭabhāṇḍagṛhasthalāni mīnādhivāsasaridambudhitoyarāśiḥ

Of Cāpa ⟨Dhanus⟩, ground where horses, chariots and elephants are housed; of the deer-faced one ⟨Makara⟩, rivers, waters and forest tracts; of Kumbha, places of water-pots, vessels and houses; the dwelling of Mīna is rivers, the ocean, and every mass of water.

ह्रस्वा गोऽजघटाः समा मृगनृयुक्चापान्त्यकर्काटकाः । दीर्घा वृश्चिककन्यकाहरितुला मेषादिपुंयोषितौ । प्रागादिक्रियगोनृयुक्कटकभान्येतानि कोणान्वितान्याहुः क्रूरशुभौ चरस्थिरतरद्वन्द्वानि तानि क्रमात्

hrasvā go'jaghaṭāḥ samā mṛganṛyukcāpāntyakarkāṭakāḥ | dīrghā vṛścikakanyakāharitulā meṣādipuṃyoṣitau | prāgādikriyagonṛyukkaṭakabhānyetāni koṇānvitānyāhuḥ krūraśubhau carasthirataradvandvāni tāni kramāt

Go, Aja and Ghaṭa are short; Mṛga, Nṛyuj, Cāpa, Antya and Karkāṭaka are middling; Vṛścika, Kanyakā, Hari and Tulā are long. From Meṣa onward they are male and female ⟨alternately⟩. These signs — Kriya, Go, Nṛyuj and Kaṭaka ⟨and so on cyclically⟩ — they assign to the east and the rest ⟨of the directions⟩, taken together with the corner points; and those ⟨same signs, from Meṣa onward⟩ are, in order, malefic and benefic, and movable, fixed and dual.

वीर्योपेता निशि वृषनृयुक्कर्किचापाजनक्राः हित्वा युग्मं भवनमपरे पृष्ठपूर्वोदयाश्च । शेषाः शीर्षोदयदिनबलाः श्रेष्ठता राशयस्ते मीनाकारद्वयमुभयतः काललग्नं समेति

vīryopetā niśi vṛṣanṛyukkarkicāpājanakrāḥ hitvā yugmaṃ bhavanamapare pṛṣṭhapūrvodayāśca | śeṣāḥ śīrṣodayadinabalāḥ śreṣṭhatā rāśayaste mīnākāradvayamubhayataḥ kālalagnaṃ sameti

Vṛṣa, Nṛyuj ⟨Mithuna⟩, Karkin, Cāpa, Aja and Nakra ⟨Makara⟩ are endowed with strength at night; and, leaving aside the sign Mithuna, the others ⟨of these⟩ are back-rising ⟨pṛṣṭhodaya⟩. The remaining signs are head-rising ⟨śīrṣodaya⟩ and strong by day, and those signs are the superior ones. The pair shaped as fish ⟨Mīna⟩ rises both ways, and so meets the kāla-lagna.

मीनालिकर्कटमृगाः सलिलाभिधानास्तोयाश्रया घटवधूयुगगोपसंज्ञाः । निस्तोयभूतलचराः क्रियचापतौलिकण्ठीरवाश्च बहवः प्रवदन्ति सन्तः

mīnālikarkaṭamṛgāḥ salilābhidhānāstoyāśrayā ghaṭavadhūyugagopasaṃjñāḥ | nistoyabhūtalacarāḥ kriyacāpataulikaṇṭhīravāśca bahavaḥ pravadanti santaḥ

Mīna, Ali, Karkaṭaka and Mṛga are called watery; Ghaṭa, Vadhū ⟨Kanyā⟩, Yuga and Go are named as resorting to water; and Kriya, Cāpa, Taulī and Kaṇṭhīrava move on waterless ground — so many good ⟨teachers⟩ declare.

चापापरार्धहरिगोमकरादिमेषा मानस्थिता बलयुताश्च चतुष्पदाख्याः । कन्यानृयुग्मघटतौलिशरासनाद्या लग्नान्विता यदि नरा द्विपदा बलाढ्याः

cāpāparārdhaharigomakarādimeṣā mānasthitā balayutāśca catuṣpadākhyāḥ | kanyānṛyugmaghaṭatauliśarāsanādyā lagnānvitā yadi narā dvipadā balāḍhyāḥ

The latter half of Cāpa, Hari ⟨Siṃha⟩, Go, the first ⟨half⟩ of Makara, and Meṣa are called four-footed, and placed in the māna ⟨the tenth⟩ they are endowed with strength. Kanyā, Mithuna, Ghaṭa, Tulā and the first ⟨half⟩ of Śarāsana ⟨Dhanus⟩ are the human, two-footed ⟨signs⟩: if joined with the lagna they are rich in strength.

मृगापरार्द्धान्त्यकुलीरसंज्ञा जलाभिधाना बलिनश्चतुर्थे । जलाश्रयो वृश्चिकनामधेयः स सप्तमस्थानगतो बली स्यात्

mṛgāparārddhāntyakulīrasaṃjñā jalābhidhānā balinaścaturthe | jalāśrayo vṛścikanāmadheyaḥ sa saptamasthānagato balī syāt

The latter half of Mṛga, Antya ⟨Mīna⟩ and Kulīra are named watery; they are strong in the fourth. The water-dwelling one named Vṛścika would be strong when it has gone to the seventh place.

केन्द्रं गतोऽह्नि द्विपदो बलाढ्यः चतुष्पदाः केन्द्रगता रजन्याम् । कीटास्तु सर्वे यदि कण्टकस्थाः सन्धिद्वये वीर्ययुता भवन्ति

kendraṃ gato'hni dvipado balāḍhyaḥ catuṣpadāḥ kendragatā rajanyām | kīṭāstu sarve yadi kaṇṭakasthāḥ sandhidvaye vīryayutā bhavanti

A two-footed ⟨sign⟩ that has gone to a kendra is rich in strength by day; the four-footed ones, gone to a kendra, at night. But all the insect ⟨signs⟩, if they stand in a kaṇṭaka ⟨kendra⟩, are endowed with vigour at the two junctions ⟨of day and night⟩.

धातुर्मूलं जीवमित्याहुरार्या मेषादीनामोजयुग्मे तथैव । स्वर्णाद्धातुर्मृत्तिकान्तं तृणान्तं वृक्षान्मूलं जीवकूटः स जीवः

dhāturmūlaṃ jīvamityāhurāryā meṣādīnāmojayugme tathaiva | svarṇāddhāturmṛttikāntaṃ tṛṇāntaṃ vṛkṣānmūlaṃ jīvakūṭaḥ sa jīvaḥ

The noble ones declare ⟨the signs⟩ from Meṣa onward to be dhātu ⟨mineral⟩, mūla ⟨vegetable⟩ and jīva ⟨animal⟩ ⟨in that recurring order⟩, in the odd and the even alike. From gold down to clay is dhātu; from trees down to grass is mūla; what belongs to the class of living beings is jīva.

मीनालिवृषभा विप्राश्चापाजहरयो नृपाः । कुम्भयुग्मतुला वैश्याः शूद्राः स्त्रीमृगकर्कटाः

mīnālivṛṣabhā viprāścāpājaharayo nṛpāḥ | kumbhayugmatulā vaiśyāḥ śūdrāḥ strīmṛgakarkaṭāḥ

Mīna, Ali and Vṛṣabha are Brāhmaṇas; Cāpa, Aja and Hari are kings ⟨Kṣatriyas⟩; Kumbha, Mithuna and Tulā are Vaiśyas; Strī ⟨Kanyā⟩, Mṛga and Karkaṭaka are Śūdras.

सदा निशान्धाः क्रियगोमृगेशा मध्यन्दिने कर्कटयुग्मकन्याः । पूर्वाह्नकाले बधिरौ तुलाली धन्वी मृगाख्यश्च तथापराह्ने

sadā niśāndhāḥ kriyagomṛgeśā madhyandine karkaṭayugmakanyāḥ | pūrvāhnakāle badhirau tulālī dhanvī mṛgākhyaśca tathāparāhne

Kriya, Go and Mṛgeśa ⟨Siṃha⟩ are always blind at night; Karkaṭa, Mithuna and Kanyā at midday; in the forenoon Tulā and Ali are the two deaf ones; and Dhanvin and the one named Mṛga likewise in the afternoon.

मृगाननश्चापधरश्च पङ्गू सन्धिद्वये नाशकरौ भवेताम् । स्यादृक्षसन्धिः कटकालिमीनभान्तं प्रगण्डान्तमिति प्रसिद्धम्

mṛgānanaścāpadharaśca paṅgū sandhidvaye nāśakarau bhavetām | syādṛkṣasandhiḥ kaṭakālimīnabhāntaṃ pragaṇḍāntamiti prasiddham

The deer-faced one ⟨Makara⟩ and the bow-bearer ⟨Dhanus⟩ are the two lame ones; at the two junctions they become destroyers. The ṛkṣa-sandhi would be the end of the signs Kaṭaka, Ali and Mīna — well known as gaṇḍānta.

रक्तगौरशुककान्तिपाटलाः पाण्डुचित्ररुचिनीलकाञ्चनाः । पिङ्गलः शबलबभ्रुपाण्डुरास्तुम्बुरादिभवनेषु कल्पिताः

raktagauraśukakāntipāṭalāḥ pāṇḍucitrarucinīlakāñcanāḥ | piṅgalaḥ śabalababhrupāṇḍurāstumburādibhavaneṣu kalpitāḥ

Red, fair, the lustre of a parrot, pale-red; whitish, of variegated sheen, dark blue, gold; tawny; dappled, brown, pale — ⟨these colours⟩ are assigned to the houses beginning with Tumburu ⟨Meṣa⟩.

वस्त्राद्यं शालिमुख्यं, वनफलनिचयः, कन्दली मुख्यधान्यम्, त्वक्सारं, मुद्गपूर्वं, तिलवसनमुखं, त्विक्षुलोहादिकं च । शस्त्राश्वं, काञ्चनाद्यं जलजनिकुसुमं, तोयजातं समस्तम्, द्रव्याण्याहुः क्रियादिष्वबलबलयुतेष्वल्पताधिक्यभाञ्जि

vastrādyaṃ śālimukhyaṃ, vanaphalanicayaḥ, kandalī mukhyadhānyam, tvaksāraṃ, mudgapūrvaṃ, tilavasanamukhaṃ, tvikṣulohādikaṃ ca | śastrāśvaṃ, kāñcanādyaṃ jalajanikusumaṃ, toyajātaṃ samastam, dravyāṇyāhuḥ kriyādiṣvabalabalayuteṣvalpatādhikyabhāñji

Cloth and the like; rice chiefly; a mass of forest fruits; kandalī, and the chief grains; bark-essence; green gram and the like; sesame and clothing chiefly; sugarcane and iron and so on; weapons and horses; gold and the like; water-born flowers; everything born of water — these they call the commodities in ⟨the signs⟩ beginning with Kriya; joined with weak ⟨grahas they⟩ partake of scarcity, and with strong ones of abundance.

धराजशुक्रज्ञशशीनसौम्यसितारजीवार्कजमन्दजीवाः । क्रमेण मेषादिषु राशिनाथास्तदंशपाश्चेति वदन्ति सन्तः

dharājaśukrajñaśaśīnasaumyasitārajīvārkajamandajīvāḥ | krameṇa meṣādiṣu rāśināthāstadaṃśapāśceti vadanti santaḥ

Dharāja ⟨Mars⟩, Śukra ⟨Venus⟩, Jña ⟨Mercury⟩, Śaśin ⟨the Moon⟩, Ina ⟨the Sun⟩, Saumya ⟨Mercury⟩, Sita ⟨Venus⟩, Āra ⟨Mars⟩, Jīva ⟨Jupiter⟩, Arkaja ⟨Saturn⟩, Manda ⟨Saturn⟩ and Jīva ⟨Jupiter⟩ — in order, in the signs beginning with Meṣa, are the lords of the rāśis, and the lords of their aṃśas as well: so the good declare.

मूलत्रिकोणा हरिताबुरुक्रिया वधूधनुस्तौलिघटा दिवाकरात् । सितासितार्काङ्गिरसां नखांशकास्त्रिकोणमादौ परतः स्वमन्दिरम्

mūlatrikoṇā haritāburukriyā vadhūdhanustaulighaṭā divākarāt | sitāsitārkāṅgirasāṃ nakhāṃśakāstrikoṇamādau parataḥ svamandiram

The mūlatrikoṇas are Harit ⟨Siṃha⟩, Tāvuru ⟨Vṛṣa⟩ and Kriya ⟨Meṣa⟩, ⟨then⟩ Vadhū ⟨Kanyā⟩, Dhanus, Taulī ⟨Tulā⟩ and Ghaṭa ⟨Kumbha⟩, reckoning from the Sun onward ⟨through the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn⟩. For Venus, Saturn, the Sun and Aṅgiras ⟨Jupiter⟩, the twenty degrees at the beginning ⟨of those signs⟩ are the trikoṇa; beyond that is their own house.

वृषादिभागत्रयमुच्चमिन्दोर्मूलत्रिकोणं परतस्तु सर्वम् । मेषादिगा द्वादशभागसंज्ञाः कुजस्य कोणं परतः स्वभं स्यात्

vṛṣādibhāgatrayamuccamindormūlatrikoṇaṃ paratastu sarvam | meṣādigā dvādaśabhāgasaṃjñāḥ kujasya koṇaṃ parataḥ svabhaṃ syāt

The first three degrees of Vṛṣa are the Moon's exaltation; beyond that, the whole ⟨rest of the sign⟩ is her mūlatrikoṇa. The twelve degrees from the beginning of Meṣa are named ⟨the trikoṇa⟩ of Kuja ⟨Mars⟩; beyond that it would be his own sign.

कन्यार्द्धमुच्चं, शशिजस्य कोणं दशांशकाः स्वर्क्षफलं शरांशाः । कुम्भस्त्रिकोणं, फणिनायकस्य तुङ्गं नृयुग्मं, रमणी गृहं स्यात्

kanyārddhamuccaṃ, śaśijasya koṇaṃ daśāṃśakāḥ svarkṣaphalaṃ śarāṃśāḥ | kumbhastrikoṇaṃ, phaṇināyakasya tuṅgaṃ nṛyugmaṃ, ramaṇī gṛhaṃ syāt

Half of Kanyā is ⟨Mercury's⟩ exaltation; ten degrees are Śaśija's ⟨Mercury's⟩ trikoṇa; five degrees give the effect of his own sign. Kumbha is the trikoṇa of the lord of serpents ⟨Rāhu⟩; his exaltation is Mithuna, and Ramaṇī ⟨Kanyā⟩ would be his house.

मेषो वृषो मकरषष्ठकुलीरमीनाः तौली च तुङ्गभवनानि तदस्तनीचाः । नित्याङ्गनाहरिमयामनुसारनीरसङ्ख्या दिवाकरमुखादतितुङ्गभागाः

Meṣa, Vṛṣa, Makara, the sixth ⟨Kanyā⟩, Kulīra, Mīna and Taulī ⟨Tulā⟩ are the exaltation-houses; the seventh from these are the debilitations. The degrees of deepest exaltation, reckoned from the Sun onward, are 10, 3, 28, 15, 5, 27 and 20 ⟨for the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn: the compound nityāṅganāharimayāmanusāranīra gives these numbers by kaṭapayādi, two digits to a graha, each pair read right to left⟩.

लग्नं होरा दृकाणं स्वरनवदशकद्वादशांशा कलांशाः त्रिंशत्षष्ट्यंशकाख्या व्ययदुरितचयश्रीकरा मानवानाम् । होरा राश्यर्धमोजे दिनकरशशिनोरिन्दुमार्तण्डहोरे युग्मे राशौ, दृगाणा निजतनयतपःस्थानपानां भवन्ति

lagnaṃ horā dṛkāṇaṃ svaranavadaśakadvādaśāṃśā kalāṃśāḥ triṃśatṣaṣṭyaṃśakākhyā vyayaduritacayaśrīkarā mānavānām | horā rāśyardhamoje dinakaraśaśinorindumārtaṇḍahore yugme rāśau, dṛgāṇā nijatanayatapaḥsthānapānāṃ bhavanti

The lagna, the horā, the drekāṇa, the seventh, ninth, tenth and twelfth parts, the sixteenth parts, and those called the thirtieth and sixtieth parts, bring men loss, evil, increase and prosperity. The horā is half a rāśi: in an odd sign ⟨the two belong⟩ to the Sun and the Moon; in an even sign the horās are the Moon's and the Sun's. The drekāṇas belong to the lords of one's own ⟨sign⟩, of the fifth place ⟨tanaya⟩ and of the ninth place ⟨tapas⟩.

लग्नादिसप्तमांशेशास्त्वोजे राशौ यथाक्रमम् । युग्मे लग्ने स्वरांशानामधिपाः सप्तमादयः

lagnādisaptamāṃśeśāstvoje rāśau yathākramam | yugme lagne svarāṃśānāmadhipāḥ saptamādayaḥ

In an odd sign the lords of the seven parts (saptāṃśa) are, in order, ⟨the lords of the signs⟩ beginning with the lagna ⟨that sign itself⟩; when the lagna is an even sign, the rulers of the svarāṃśas ⟨the same sevenths⟩ are those beginning with the seventh ⟨sign from it⟩.

चापाजसिंहराशीनां नवांशास्तुम्बुरादयः । वृषकन्यामृगाणां च मृगाद्या नव कीर्तिताः

cāpājasiṃharāśīnāṃ navāṃśāstumburādayaḥ | vṛṣakanyāmṛgāṇāṃ ca mṛgādyā nava kīrtitāḥ

For the signs Dhanus (cāpa), Meṣa (aja) and Siṃha the navāṃśas begin with Tumbura ⟨Meṣa⟩; and for Vṛṣa, Kanyā and Mṛga ⟨Makara⟩ the nine are declared to begin with Mṛga ⟨Makara⟩.

नृयुक्तुलाघटानां च तुलाद्याश्चांशका नव । कर्किवृश्चिकमीनानां कर्कटाद्या नवांशकाः

nṛyuktulāghaṭānāṃ ca tulādyāścāṃśakā nava | karkivṛścikamīnānāṃ karkaṭādyā navāṃśakāḥ

And for Mithuna (nṛyuk, 'the human pair'), Tulā and Ghaṭa ⟨Kumbha⟩ the nine aṃśas begin with Tulā; for Karka, Vṛścika and Mīna the navāṃśas begin with Karkaṭa.

चरे चाद्यंशको ज्ञेयः, स्थिरे मध्यनवांशकः । अन्त्यांशको द्विस्वभावे वर्गोत्तम इति स्मृतः

care cādyaṃśako jñeyaḥ, sthire madhyanavāṃśakaḥ | antyāṃśako dvisvabhāve vargottama iti smṛtaḥ

In a movable ⟨cara⟩ sign the first aṃśa is to be known ⟨as such⟩, in a fixed ⟨sthira⟩ sign the middle navāṃśa, and in a dual ⟨dvisvabhāva⟩ sign the last aṃśa: this is remembered as vargottama.

लग्नादिदशमांशेशास्त्वोजे, युग्मे शुभादिकाः द्वादशांशाधिपतयस्तत्तद्राशिवशानुगाः

lagnādidaśamāṃśeśāstvoje, yugme śubhādikāḥ dvādaśāṃśādhipatayastattadrāśivaśānugāḥ

In an odd sign the lords of the ten parts (daśāṃśa) are ⟨those⟩ beginning with the lagna ⟨that sign itself⟩; in an even ⟨sign⟩, those beginning with śubha ⟨so the e-text reads; see note⟩. The lords of the twelve parts (dvādaśāṃśa) follow, each according to its own sign.

oje kalāṃśapramukhāstadīśā virañciśaurīśadivākarāśca | yugme vilagne sati bhāskarādyā vilomataḥ ṣoḍaśabhāganāthāḥ

In an odd sign the lords of the kalāṃśas, from the first onward, are Virañci ⟨Brahmā⟩, Śauri ⟨Viṣṇu⟩, Īśa ⟨Śiva⟩ and Divākara ⟨the Sun⟩; but when the lagna is an even sign, the lords of the sixteen parts are those beginning with Bhāskara ⟨the Sun⟩, in reverse order.

आरार्किजीवशशिनन्दनशुक्रभागा स्त्वोजे समीरपवनाष्टकशैलबाणा। युग्मे समीरगिरिपन्नगपञ्चबाणा स्त्रिंशांशकाः सितविदार्यशनिक्षमाजाः॥३७॥

In an odd sign the lords of the sixtieth-parts are the demoniac and divine portions beginning with Ghora; the auspicious and inauspicious portions beginning with Indurekhā follow in that order — but in an even sign, in the reverse order.

घोरांशको राक्षसदेवभागौ कुबेरयक्षावलिकिन्नरांशाः। भ्रष्टः कुलघ्नो गरलाग्निसंज्ञौ मायांशकः प्रेतपुरीशभागः॥३९॥

mūlatrikoṇasvagṛhoccabhāgavargottamānāṃ daśavargajānām | saṃyogajātottamanāmapūrvā vaiśeṣikāṃśā iti te vadanti

Of ⟨a graha standing in⟩ mūlatrikoṇa, its own house, its exaltation degree, or vargottama, born of the ten vargas — ⟨the states⟩ arising from their combination and named uttama and the rest, these they call the vaiśeṣikāṃśas.

उत्तमं तु त्रिवर्गैक्यं चातुर्वर्गन्तु गोपुरम् । वर्गपञ्चकसंयोगं सिंहासनमिहोच्यते

uttamaṃ tu trivargaikyaṃ cāturvargantu gopuram | vargapañcakasaṃyogaṃ siṃhāsanamihocyate

But the union of three vargas is uttama; that of four is gopura; the combination of five vargas is here called siṃhāsana.

वर्गद्वयं पारिजातं षण्णां पारावतांशकः । सप्तमं देवलोकः स्यादष्टमं च तथा भवेत् । ऐरावतम् तु नवकं फलं तेषां पृथक् पृथक्

vargadvayaṃ pārijātaṃ ṣaṇṇāṃ pārāvatāṃśakaḥ | saptamaṃ devalokaḥ syādaṣṭamaṃ ca tathā bhavet | airāvatam tu navakaṃ phalaṃ teṣāṃ pṛthak pṛthak

Two vargas ⟨together⟩ are pārijāta; of six, the pārāvatāṃśa; the seventh shall be devaloka, and the eighth likewise shall be ⟨named in its turn⟩. But the ninth ⟨combination⟩ is airāvata; the fruit of each of these is separate.

विलग्नहोराद्रेष्काणनवांशद्वादशांशकाः

vilagnahorādreṣkāṇanavāṃśadvādaśāṃśakāḥ

The lagna ⟨rāśi⟩, the horā, the dreṣkāṇa ⟨decanate⟩, the navāṃśa, the dvādaśāṃśa —

त्रिंशांशकश्च षड्वर्गः शुभकर्मसु शस्यते । सप्तांशयुक्तः षड्वर्गः सप्तवर्गोऽभिधीयते । जातकेषु च सर्वेषु ग्रहाणां बलकारणम्

— and the triṃśāṃśa: ⟨these⟩ are the ṣaḍvarga, which is commended in auspicious undertakings. The ṣaḍvarga joined with the saptāṃśa is called the saptavarga, and in all nativities it is the ground of the grahas' strength.

कल्पोदयाद्यतनुजन्मविलग्नहोरा वागर्थभुक्तिनयनस्वकुटुम्बभानि । दुश्चिक्यविक्रमसहोदरवीर्यधैर्यकर्णास्तृतीयभवनस्य भवन्ति संज्ञाः

The meṣūraṇa ⟨10th⟩, the udaya ⟨1st⟩, the kalatra ⟨7th⟩ and the rasātala ⟨4th⟩ are those termed kendra, kaṇṭaka and catuṣṭaya. From the lagna, the trikoṇa houses are the ninth and the fifth; and the ninth from the ascendant they call tritrikoṇa.

तनुसुखमदनाज्ञा राशयः केन्द्रसंज्ञाः पणफरभवनानि स्वायपुत्राष्टमानि । व्ययरिपुगुरुदुश्चिक्यानि चापोक्लिमानि प्रभवति चतुरस्रं मृत्युबन्धुद्वयं च

The signs ⟨houses⟩ tanu ⟨1st⟩, sukha ⟨4th⟩, madana ⟨7th⟩ and ājñā ⟨10th⟩ bear the name kendra; sva ⟨2nd⟩, āya ⟨11th⟩, putra ⟨5th⟩ and aṣṭama ⟨8th⟩ are the paṇaphara houses; vyaya ⟨12th⟩, ripu ⟨6th⟩, guru ⟨9th⟩ and duścikya ⟨3rd⟩ are the āpoklimas. And the caturasra arises ⟨from⟩ the pair mṛtyu ⟨8th⟩ and bandhu ⟨4th⟩.

Duścikya ⟨3rd⟩, āya ⟨11th⟩, ari ⟨6th⟩ and māna ⟨10th⟩ the foremost ācāryas call the upacaya houses; the rest — nava ⟨9th⟩, dhana ⟨2nd⟩, jaladhi ⟨4th⟩, kāma ⟨7th⟩, randhra ⟨8th⟩, antya ⟨12th⟩ and horā ⟨1st⟩ — bear the name pīḍarkṣa, the afflicted houses. These bhāvas, if joined with or aspected by their own lord or by Induja ⟨Mercury⟩, Sita ⟨Venus⟩ or Guru ⟨Jupiter⟩, and joined with or aspected by no others, give auspicious results — whether from the birth or for a querent.

नखा जिना विंशतिरष्टयुक्ता रदाङ्गलोका वियदर्णवाख्याः । मेषादिमानं क्रमशो वदन्ति तुलादिषट्कस्य विलोमतस्ते

nakhā jinā viṃśatiraṣṭayuktā radāṅgalokā viyadarṇavākhyāḥ | meṣādimānaṃ kramaśo vadanti tulādiṣaṭkasya vilomataste

Nails ⟨20⟩, the Jinas ⟨24⟩, twenty joined with eight ⟨28⟩, teeth ⟨32⟩, limb-and-world ⟨36⟩, and those called sky-and-ocean ⟨40⟩ — these they declare in order as the measure of ⟨the signs⟩ beginning with Meṣa; for the six beginning with Tulā they run in reverse.

तनुः शरा रारिखराः किरीटिनो घना गुरुर्हेयनखा नरा नुकाः । शशाङ्कभागा यदि तुम्बुरादिके मुहूर्तजन्मादिषु मृत्युसूचकाः

tanuḥ śarā rārikharāḥ kirīṭino ghanā gururheyanakhā narā nukāḥ | śaśāṅkabhāgā yadi tumburādike muhūrtajanmādiṣu mṛtyusūcakāḥ

Tanu, śarāḥ, rārikharāḥ, kirīṭinaḥ, ghanā, guruḥ, heyanakhā, narāḥ, nukāḥ ⟨— number-words: tanu is 8, and the rest, read as rāri-kharāḥ, kirī-ṭinaḥ and heya-nakhāḥ, are kaṭapayādi, giving 25, 22, 22, 21, 1, 4, 23, 18, 20, 20 and 10⟩: these are the degrees of Śaśāṅka ⟨the Moon⟩ in ⟨the signs⟩ beginning with Tumbura ⟨Meṣa⟩; at a muhūrta, at a birth and the like, they portend death.

पुत्रो वतुर्दिव्यजनाधिको धनी विराटयो गोत्रवयो धिको धुनाः । मेषादिके पुष्करभागसंज्ञका मुहूर्तजन्मादिषु शोभनप्रदाः

⟨The first half-verse is corrupt in the e-text and is not rendered here — see the note.⟩ In the horā treatise named Pārijāta, the chapter of technical names, called Rāśiśīla, has thus been declared.

कालस्यात्मा भास्करश्चित्तमिन्दुः सत्त्वं भौमः स्याद्वचश्चन्द्रसूनुः । देवाचार्यः सौख्यविज्ञानसारः कामः शुक्रे दुःखमेवार्कसूनुः

kālasyātmā bhāskaraścittaminduḥ sattvaṃ bhaumaḥ syādvacaścandrasūnuḥ | devācāryaḥ saukhyavijñānasāraḥ kāmaḥ śukre duḥkhamevārkasūnuḥ

The Sun (Bhāskara) is the soul of Time (Kāla); the Moon is the mind; Mars is vitality (sattva); the Moon's son (Mercury) is speech; the preceptor of the gods (Jupiter) is the essence of happiness and knowledge; desire (kāma) lies in Venus; and the Sun's son (Saturn) is sorrow itself.

दिनेशचन्द्रौ राजानौ सचिवौ जीवभार्गवौ । कुमारो वित् कुजो नेता प्रेष्यस्तपननन्दनः

dineśacandrau rājānau sacivau jīvabhārgavau | kumāro vit kujo netā preṣyastapananandanaḥ

Dhvaja, Śikhī, Ketu — thus is ⟨Ketu⟩ well known; and those who know call Gulika also Māndi. The upagrahas — Kāla and the rest, portions (aṃśa) of the grahas headed by the Sun — are givers of painful results.

क्रमशः कालपरिधिधूमार्द्धप्रहराह्वयाः । यमकण्टककोदण्डमान्दिपातोपकेतवः

kramaśaḥ kālaparidhidhūmārddhapraharāhvayāḥ | yamakaṇṭakakodaṇḍamāndipātopaketavaḥ

In order they are named Kāla, Paridhi, Dhūma, Ardhaprahara, Yamakaṇṭaka, Kodaṇḍa, Māndi, Pāta and Upaketu.

भानुः श्यामललोहितद्युतितनुश्चन्द्रः सिताङ्गो युवा दूर्वाश्यामलकान्तिरिन्दुतनयः, संरक्तगौरः कुजः । मन्त्री गौरकलेवरः, सिततनुः शुक्रोऽसिताङ्गः शनिः, चानीलाकृतिदेहवानहिपतिः, केतुर्विचित्रद्युतिः

The Sun's body is of a dark-red lustre; the Moon is white-limbed and youthful; the Moon's son (Mercury) has the dark-green sheen of dūrvā grass; Mars is a mixture of red and fair. The minister (Jupiter) has a fair body; Venus is white-bodied; Saturn is dark-limbed; the lord of serpents (Rāhu) has a body of dusky-blue form; and Ketu is of variegated lustre.

प्रकाशकौ शीतकरप्रभाकरौ, ताराग्रहाः पञ्च धरासुतादयः । तमः स्वरूपौ शिखिसिंहिकासुतौ, शुभाः शशिज्ञामरवन्द्यभार्गवाः

The Moon and the Sun are the two light-givers (prakāśaka); the five tāra-grahas are Mars and the rest; Ketu (Śikhin) and Rāhu (the son of Siṃhikā) are of the nature of darkness (tamas); the benefics are the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter (honoured by the gods) and Venus.

क्षीणेन्दुमन्दरविराहुशिखिक्षमाजाः पापास्तु पापयुतचन्द्रसुतश्च पापः । तेषामतीव शुभदौ गुरुदानवेज्यौ, क्रूरौ दिवाकरसुतक्षितिजौ भवेताम्

The waning Moon, Saturn, the Sun, Rāhu, Ketu (Śikhin) and Mars are malefics; and Mercury joined with a malefic is a malefic too. Among them ⟨the grahas⟩, Jupiter and the preceptor of the dānavas (Venus) are the two that give the most auspicious results; the Sun's son (Saturn) and the earth-born (Mars) are the two malefics.

शुक्लादिरात्रिदशकेऽहनि मध्यवीर्यशाली द्वितीयदशकेऽतिशुभप्रदोऽसौ । चन्द्रस्तृतीयदशके बलवर्जितस्तु सौम्येक्षणादिसहितो यदि शोभनः स्यात्

In the first ten nights beginning from the bright fortnight ⟨and⟩ by day, he possesses middling strength; in the second ten he is a giver of exceedingly auspicious results; in the third ten the Moon is bereft of strength — yet if he is joined with a benefic's aspect and the like, he may still be good.

रव्यारराहुमन्दाश्च पृष्ठेनोद्यन्ति सर्वदा । शिरसा शुक्रचन्द्रज्ञा जीवस्तूभयतो व्रजेत्

ravyārarāhumandāśca pṛṣṭhenodyanti sarvadā | śirasā śukracandrajñā jīvastūbhayato vrajet

The Sun, Mars, Rāhu and Saturn always rise by the back (pṛṣṭhodaya); Venus, the Moon and Mercury ⟨rise⟩ by the head (śīrṣodaya); but Jupiter proceeds both ways.

दिवाकरज्ञौ विहगस्वरूपौ सरीसृपाकारयुतः शशाङ्कः । पुरन्दराचार्यसितौ द्विपादौ चतुष्पदौ भानुसुतक्षमाजौ

divākarajñau vihagasvarūpau sarīsṛpākārayutaḥ śaśāṅkaḥ | purandarācāryasitau dvipādau catuṣpadau bhānusutakṣamājau

The Sun and Mercury have the form of birds; the Moon has the shape of a creeping creature; Jupiter (Indra's preceptor) and Venus are bipeds; the Sun's son (Saturn) and the earth-born (Mars) are quadrupeds.

जलाशयौ चन्द्रसुरारिवन्द्यौ बुधालयग्रामचरौ गुरुज्ञौ । कुजाहिमन्दध्वजवासरेशा भवन्ति शैलाटविसञ्चरन्तः

śākhādhipā jīvasitārabodhanā dhātusvarūpadyucarau kujāruṇau | mūlapradhānau tuhinākarārkajau jīvau sitāryau tu vimiśra indujaḥ

Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Mercury (Bodhana) are lords of branches; Mars and the Sun (Aruṇa) are the two sky-goers of mineral (dhātu) nature; the Moon and Saturn are chiefly of root (mūla) ⟨nature⟩; Venus and Jupiter are the two of animal (jīva) ⟨nature⟩; but Mercury is mixed.

दीप्तः प्रमुदितः स्वस्थः शान्तः शक्तः प्रपीडितः । दीनः खलस्तु विकलो भीतोऽवस्था दश क्रमात्

dīptaḥ pramuditaḥ svasthaḥ śāntaḥ śaktaḥ prapīḍitaḥ | dīnaḥ khalastu vikalo bhīto'vasthā daśa kramāt

Dīpta (blazing), pramudita (delighted), svastha (at ease), śānta (calm), śakta (able), prapīḍita (sore afflicted), dīna (wretched), khala (base), vikala (crippled), bhīta (terrified) — these are the ten avasthās ⟨of a graha⟩, in order.

स्वोच्चत्रिकोणोपगतः प्रदीप्तः स्वस्थः स्वगेहे मुदितः सुहृद्भे । शान्तस्तु सौम्यग्रहवर्गयातः शक्तोऽतिशुद्धः स्फुटरश्मिजालैः

svoccatrikoṇopagataḥ pradīptaḥ svasthaḥ svagehe muditaḥ suhṛdbhe | śāntastu saumyagrahavargayātaḥ śakto'tiśuddhaḥ sphuṭaraśmijālaiḥ

A graha gone to its own exaltation or to a trikoṇa is pradīpta; in its own house it is svastha; in a friend's sign, mudita; gone into a benefic graha's varga, śānta; ⟨and⟩ exceedingly clear, with an unclouded net of rays, it is śakta.

ग्रहाभिभूतस्त्वतिपीडितः स्यादरातिराश्यंशगतोऽतिदीनः । खलस्तु पापग्रहवर्गयोगान्नीचेऽतिभीतो विकलोऽस्तयातः

grahābhibhūtastvatipīḍitaḥ syādarātirāśyaṃśagato'tidīnaḥ | khalastu pāpagrahavargayogānnīce'tibhīto vikalo'stayātaḥ

Overcome by ⟨another⟩ graha it becomes atipīḍita (sore afflicted); gone to an enemy's rāśi or aṃśa, atidīna; by conjunction with a malefic graha's varga, khala; in debilitation, atibhīta; and gone to setting (combust), vikala.

varṇāstāmrasitāraktaharitāpītakarburāḥ | kṛṣṇakāntirinādīnāṃ naṣṭādau ca prakīrtitāḥ

Copper-red, white, red, green, yellow, variegated, and a black lustre — these are declared the colours of ⟨the grahas⟩ beginning with the Sun, ⟨for questions⟩ about lost articles and the like.

द्रव्याणि ताम्रमणिकाञ्चनशुक्तिरौप्यमुक्तान्ययश्च दिननाथमुखग्रहाणाम् । वह्न्यम्बुषण्मुखहरीन्द्रशचीविरञ्चिमुख्या दिवाकरमुखादधिदेवताः स्युः

Copper, gems, gold, oyster-shell, silver, pearls and iron are the substances of the grahas beginning with the lord of day ⟨the Sun⟩. Agni (fire), the waters ⟨Varuṇa⟩, Ṣaṇmukha (Skanda), Hari (Viṣṇu), Indra, Śacī and Viriñci (Brahmā) are, reckoned from the Sun onward, the presiding deities (adhidevatās).

The ruby is the lord of day's (the Sun's); the spotless pearl the cool-rayed one's (the Moon's); coral is Mars's; the emerald, gārutmaka, is Mercury's; topaz is the preceptor of the gods' (Jupiter's); the diamond (vajra) is the preceptor of the asuras' (Venus's); the flawless blue sapphire is Saturn's; and for the other two are declared gomeda and vaiḍūrya.

स्थूलाम्बरं नूतनचारुचेलं कृशानुतोयाहतमध्यमानि । दृढांशुकं जीर्णमिनादिकानां वस्त्राणि सर्वे मुनयो वदन्ति

sthūlāmbaraṃ nūtanacārucelaṃ kṛśānutoyāhatamadhyamāni | dṛḍhāṃśukaṃ jīrṇaminādikānāṃ vastrāṇi sarve munayo vadanti

Coarse cloth, new and lovely cloth, ⟨cloth⟩ struck by fire and by water, middling ⟨cloths⟩, stout fine cloth, and worn-out ⟨cloth⟩ — all the sages declare these to be the garments of ⟨the grahas⟩ beginning with the Sun.

प्रागादिका भानुसितारराहुमन्देन्दुविद्देवपुरोहिताः स्युः । शुक्रारचन्द्रज्ञसुरेज्यमन्दा वसन्तमुख्यर्त्वधिपा दृगाणैः

prāgādikā bhānusitārarāhumandenduviddevapurohitāḥ syuḥ | śukrāracandrajñasurejyamandā vasantamukhyartvadhipā dṛgāṇaiḥ

Beginning with the east, ⟨the directions belong to⟩ the Sun, Venus, Mars, Rāhu, Saturn, the Moon, Mercury and the priest of the gods (Jupiter). Venus, Mars, the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn are the lords of the seasons beginning with spring, ⟨reckoned⟩ by the drekkāṇas.

देवतोयतटवह्निविहाराः कोशगेहशयनोत्करदेशाः । भानुपूर्वनिलयाः परिकल्प्या वेश्मकोणनिलयावहिकेतू

devatoyataṭavahnivihārāḥ kośagehaśayanotkaradeśāḥ | bhānupūrvanilayāḥ parikalpyā veśmakoṇanilayāvahiketū

A god's ⟨house⟩, a water's edge, a fire-place, a pleasure-house, a treasury, a bedchamber, and a place of refuse-heaps — these are to be assigned as the dwellings of ⟨the grahas⟩ beginning with the Sun; the serpent (Rāhu) and Ketu have their dwelling in the corner of the house.

लङ्कादिकृष्णासरिदन्तमारः सितस्ततो गौतमिकान्तभूमिः । विन्ध्यान्तमार्यः सुरनिम्नगान्तं बुधः शनिः स्यात्तुहिनाचलान्तः

laṅkādikṛṣṇāsaridantamāraḥ sitastato gautamikāntabhūmiḥ | vindhyāntamāryaḥ suranimnagāntaṃ budhaḥ śaniḥ syāttuhinācalāntaḥ

From Laṅkā up to the river Kṛṣṇā is Mars's; from there the land ending at the Gautamī (Godāvarī) is Venus's; up to the Vindhya, Jupiter's; up to the river of the gods (the Gaṅgā), Mercury's; and Saturn's ⟨reaches⟩ to the snowy mountain (the Himālaya).

विप्रौ जीवसितौ दिनेशरुधिरौ भूपालकौ वैश्यराड् इन्दुः शूद्रकुलाधिपः शशिसुतो मन्दोऽवराणां पतिः । आदित्यामरमन्त्रिशीतकिरणाः सत्त्वप्रधानग्रहाः शुक्रज्ञौ सरजोगुणौ शनिधरापुत्रौ तमःस्वामिनौ

Jupiter and Venus are brāhmaṇas; the Sun and Mars (Rudhira) are rulers of the earth ⟨kṣatriyas⟩; the Moon is a vaiśya king; Mercury is lord of the śūdra class; Saturn is lord of the lowest. The Sun, the minister of the gods (Jupiter) and the cool-rayed one (the Moon) are grahas in whom sattva predominates; Venus and Mercury have the quality of rajas; Saturn and the son of the earth (Mars) are the lords of tamas.

नराकारा भानुक्षितिजगुरवः शुक्रशशिनौ वधूरूपौ षण्ढप्रकृतिपुरुषौ मन्दशशिजौ । वियत्क्षोणीतेजःपवनपयसामेव पतयः सुराचार्यज्ञारद्युमणिसुतदेवारिसचिवाः

The Sun, Mars and Jupiter are of male form; Venus and the Moon are of the form of women; Saturn and Mercury are persons of neuter (ṣaṇḍha) nature. The preceptor of the gods (Jupiter), Mercury, Mars, the son of the sun-gem (Saturn) and the minister of the enemies of the gods (Venus) are the lords, respectively, of ether, earth, fire, wind and water.

कक्षायां क्रमशो दिनेशतनयाज्ज्योतिर्भचक्राश्रिताः छायासूनुगुरुक्षमाजदिनकृच्छुकेन्दुपुत्रेन्दवः । मज्जास्नायुवसाऽस्थिशुक्ररुधिरत्वग्धातुनाथाः क्रमाद् । आरार्किज्यदिनेशशुक्रशशभृत्तारासुताः कीर्तिताः

In their orbits, in order beginning from the Sun's son (Saturn), resting in the circle of the luminaries: the son of Chāyā (Saturn), Jupiter, the earth-born (Mars), the maker of day (the Sun), Venus, the Moon's son (Mercury), and the Moon. Marrow, sinew, fat, bone, semen, blood and skin — the lords of these dhātus are declared to be, in order, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, the Sun, Venus, the Moon and Mercury.

लवणकटुकषायस्वादुतिक्ताम्लमिश्राः शशिरविशनिजीवारासुरेज्यज्ञनाथाः । अयनदिवसपक्षर्त्वब्दमासक्षणेशा रविकुजसितसौम्या मन्दजीवेन्दवश्च

Salty, pungent, astringent, sweet, bitter, sour and mixed — the lords of ⟨these tastes⟩ are the Moon, the Sun, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury ⟨in that order⟩. The lords of the ayana, the day, the pakṣa (fortnight), the ṛtu (season), the year, the month and the kṣaṇa (moment) are the Sun, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon.

पादेक्षणं भवति सोदरमानराश्योरर्धं त्रिकोणयुगलेऽखिलखेचराणाम् । पादोनदृष्टिनिचयश्चतुरस्रयुग्मे सम्पूर्णदृग्बलमनङ्गगृहे वदन्ति

pādekṣaṇaṃ bhavati sodaramānarāśyorardhaṃ trikoṇayugale'khilakhecarāṇām | pādonadṛṣṭinicayaścaturasrayugme sampūrṇadṛgbalamanaṅgagṛhe vadanti

A quarter-aspect falls on the sodara ⟨3rd⟩ and māna ⟨10th⟩ rāśis, and half ⟨an aspect⟩ on the pair of trikoṇas ⟨5th and 9th⟩ — for all the sky-going grahas. Three-quarters of the aspect ⟨falls⟩ on the pair of caturasras ⟨4th and 8th⟩; and in the house of Anaṅga ⟨the 7th⟩ they declare the aspect-strength to be complete.

शनिरतिबलशाली पाददृग्वीर्ययोगे सुरकुलपतिमन्त्री कोणदृष्टौ शुभः स्यात् । त्रितयचरणदृष्ट्या भूकुमारः समर्थः सकलगगनवासाः सप्तमे दृग्बलाढ्याः

śaniratibalaśālī pādadṛgvīryayoge surakulapatimantrī koṇadṛṣṭau śubhaḥ syāt | tritayacaraṇadṛṣṭyā bhūkumāraḥ samarthaḥ sakalagaganavāsāḥ saptame dṛgbalāḍhyāḥ

Saturn is exceedingly strong where the quarter-aspect is joined with ⟨full⟩ potency ⟨the 3rd and 10th⟩; the minister of the lord of the celestial clan ⟨Jupiter⟩ is auspicious in the trine aspect ⟨the 5th and 9th⟩; Mars, the prince of the Earth, is at full capacity by the three-quarter aspect ⟨the 4th and 8th⟩; and all the dwellers of the sky are rich in aspect-strength in the 7th.

अथोर्ध्वदृष्टी दिननाथभौमौ दृष्टिः कटाक्षेण कवीन्दुसून्वोः । शशाङ्कगुर्वोः समभागदृष्टिरधोऽक्षिपातस्त्वहिनाथशन्योः

Now: the lord of day ⟨the Sun⟩ and Bhauma ⟨Mars⟩ are upward-gazing; the gaze of Kavi ⟨Venus⟩ and the Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩ is by a sidelong glance; the Moon and Jupiter have a level gaze; and the downward cast of the eye belongs to the lord of serpents ⟨Rāhu⟩ and Saturn.

स्वोच्चत्रिकोणस्वसुहृद्दृगाणराश्यंशवैशेषिकवर्गवन्तः । आरोहवीर्याधिकविन्दुकास्ते खेचारिणः स्थानबलाधिकाः स्युः

svoccatrikoṇasvasuhṛddṛgāṇarāśyaṃśavaiśeṣikavargavantaḥ | ārohavīryādhikavindukāste khecāriṇaḥ sthānabalādhikāḥ syuḥ

Those sky-goers who possess their own sign, exaltation, mūlatrikoṇa, a friend's ⟨sign⟩, drekkāṇa, rāśi, aṃśa and the vaiśeṣika-varga, and who are high in ascending potency and abundant in bindus, are the ones abundant in positional strength (sthāna-bala).

नीचारिपापखगयोगनिरीक्ष्यमाणास्तद्वर्गसन्धिलघुबिन्दुदुरंशकाश्च । आदित्यरश्मिपरिभूतपराजितास्ते दृष्ट्यादिशक्त्यसहिताश्च न शोभनाः स्युः

Grahas placed in debilitation or in an enemy's ⟨sign⟩, or conjoined with or aspected by malefic grahas (khaga); those at the junction (sandhi) of those vargas, with few bindus and in bad aṃśas; those overcome by the Sun's rays and defeated ⟨in planetary war⟩; and those devoid of the powers beginning with aspect — these are not commendable.

विलग्नपातालवधूनभोगा बुधामरेज्यौ भृगुसूनुचन्द्रौ । मन्दो धरासूनुदिवाकरौ चेत् क्रमेण ते दिग्बलशालिनः स्युः

vilagnapātālavadhūnabhogā budhāmarejyau bhṛgusūnucandrau | mando dharāsūnudivākarau cet krameṇa te digbalaśālinaḥ syuḥ

If Mercury and Jupiter are in the lagna, Venus and the Moon in the pātāla ⟨4th⟩, Saturn in the vadhū ⟨7th⟩, and Mars and the Sun in the nabhas ⟨10th⟩ — then, in that order, they possess directional strength (dig-bala).

निशीन्दुमन्दावनिजाः परेऽहनि स्वकीयहोरासममासवासराः । सितादिपक्षद्वयगाः शुभाशुभा बुधः सदा कालजवीर्यशालिनः

niśīndumandāvanijāḥ pare'hani svakīyahorāsamamāsavāsarāḥ | sitādipakṣadvayagāḥ śubhāśubhā budhaḥ sadā kālajavīryaśālinaḥ

At night the Moon, Saturn and Mars ⟨are strong⟩, and by day the others; ⟨so too⟩ in their own horā, their own year, month and day. Benefics and malefics ⟨are strong⟩ in the two pakṣas beginning with the bright ⟨respectively⟩, and Mercury always — ⟨thus⟩ do they possess the potency born of time.

जैत्रा वक्रसमागमोपगसितज्ञारामरेज्यासिताः, दिव्याशायनगेन्दुतिग्मकिरणौ चेष्टाबलांशाधिकाः । सौम्यक्षेपयुता महीसुतमुखाश्चेष्टाबलाढ्याः क्रमान् नैसर्गस्य बलाधिकाः शनिकुजज्ञाचार्यशुक्रेन्द्वनाः

Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, when retrograde or victorious on coming to a meeting ⟨in planetary war⟩, and the Moon and the hot-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩ when gone into the divine ⟨northern⟩ ayana, are abundant in the portions of ceṣṭā-bala. Mars and the others, when joined with a northern latitude, are rich in ceṣṭā-bala. In ascending order of natural (naisargika) strength stand Saturn, Mars, Mercury, the preceptor ⟨Jupiter⟩, Venus, the Moon and the Sun.

क्रमेण दृक्स्थाननिसर्गचेष्टादिक्कालवीर्याणि च षड्बलानि । सुधाकरेष्विन्दुशरेन्दुशैलभेदानि तानि प्रवदन्ति सन्तः

krameṇa dṛksthānanisargaceṣṭādikkālavīryāṇi ca ṣaḍbalāni | sudhākareṣvinduśarenduśailabhedāni tāni pravadanti santaḥ

In order — the potencies of aspect (dṛk), position (sthāna), nature (naisarga), motion (ceṣṭā), direction (dik) and time (kāla): these are the six strengths (ṣaḍbala); and the good declare their divisions to be one, five, one, five, one and seven ⟨respectively⟩.

स्वरूपषष्ट्यंशविषष्टिकांशा मृगादिवीर्योपगषड्बलाढ्याः । क्रमेण तद्योगभवं ग्रहाणां बलं हि पूर्णं त्रिपदं दलं वा

svarūpaṣaṣṭyaṃśaviṣaṣṭikāṃśā mṛgādivīryopagaṣaḍbalāḍhyāḥ | krameṇa tadyogabhavaṃ grahāṇāṃ balaṃ hi pūrṇaṃ tripadaṃ dalaṃ vā

⟨Reckoned⟩ in whole rūpas and in sixtieth parts ⟨virūpas⟩, ⟨the grahas⟩ abundant in the six strengths that attain the potency beginning with mṛga …: the strength of the grahas arising from the sum of those ⟨six⟩ is, in order, full, three-quarters, or half.

अर्धाधिकं षट्कमिनस्य सूरेः शुक्रस्य पञ्चाधिकमर्धरूपम् । सप्तेन्दुपुत्रस्य बलं षडिन्दोः सौरारयोः सायकरूपसंख्या

ardhādhikaṃ ṣaṭkaminasya sūreḥ śukrasya pañcādhikamardharūpam | saptenduputrasya balaṃ ṣaḍindoḥ saurārayoḥ sāyakarūpasaṃkhyā

Six and a half ⟨rūpas⟩ for the Sun and for Jupiter; for Venus, five and a half rūpa; the strength of Mercury, the Moon's son, is seven; six for the Moon; and for Saturn and Mars the count is five rūpas.

अन्योन्यतः सोदरलाभमानपातालवित्तव्ययराशिसंस्थाः । तत्कालमित्राणि खगा भवन्ति तदन्ययाता यदि शत्रवस्ते

anyonyataḥ sodaralābhamānapātālavittavyayarāśisaṃsthāḥ | tatkālamitrāṇi khagā bhavanti tadanyayātā yadi śatravaste

Grahas standing in one another's sodara ⟨3rd⟩, lābha ⟨11th⟩, māna ⟨10th⟩, pātāla ⟨4th⟩, vitta ⟨2nd⟩ and vyaya ⟨12th⟩ rāśis become friends for that time (tatkāla-mitra); if they have gone anywhere other than these, they are enemies.

मित्राणि भानोः कुजचन्द्रजीवाः शत्रू सितार्की शशिजः समानः । चन्द्रस्य मित्रे दिननायकज्ञौ समा गुरुक्ष्माजसितासिताः स्युः

mitrāṇi bhānoḥ kujacandrajīvāḥ śatrū sitārkī śaśijaḥ samānaḥ | candrasya mitre dinanāyakajñau samā gurukṣmājasitāsitāḥ syuḥ

The Sun's friends are Mars, the Moon and Jupiter; his two enemies are Venus and Saturn; Mercury is neutral. The Moon's two friends are the lord of day ⟨the Sun⟩ and Mercury; Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Saturn are neutral ⟨to her⟩.

आरस्य मित्राणि रवीन्दुजीवाश्चान्द्री रिपुः शुक्रशनी समानौ । सूर्यासुरेज्यौ सुहृदौ बुधस्य समाः शनीज्यावनिजास्त्वरीन्दुः

ārasya mitrāṇi ravīndujīvāścāndrī ripuḥ śukraśanī samānau | sūryāsurejyau suhṛdau budhasya samāḥ śanījyāvanijāstvarīnduḥ

Mars's friends are the Sun, the Moon and Jupiter; the Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩ is his enemy; Venus and Saturn are neutral. The Sun and the preceptor of the asuras ⟨Venus⟩ are Mercury's two friends; Saturn, Jupiter and Mars are neutral; but the Moon is ⟨his⟩ enemy.

सूर्यारचन्द्राः सुहृदस्तु सूरेः शत्रू सितज्ञौ रविजः समानः । मित्रे शनिज्ञौ भृगुनन्दनस्येन्द्विनावरी जीवकुजौ समानौ

sūryāracandrāḥ suhṛdastu sūreḥ śatrū sitajñau ravijaḥ samānaḥ | mitre śanijñau bhṛgunandanasyendvināvarī jīvakujau samānau

The Sun, Mars and the Moon are Jupiter's well-wishers; his two enemies are Venus and Mercury; the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩ is neutral. Saturn and Mercury are the friends of Bhṛgu's son ⟨Venus⟩; the Moon and the Sun are his enemies; Jupiter and Mars are the two neutrals.

मन्दस्य सूर्येन्दुकुजाश्च शत्रवः समः सुरेज्यः सुहृदौ सितेन्दुजौ। तत्कालनैसर्गिकतश्च पञ्चधा पुनः प्रकल्प्यास्त्वतिमित्रशत्रवः॥४५॥

mandasya sūryendukujāśca śatravaḥ samaḥ surejyaḥ suhṛdau sitendujau| tatkālanaisargikataśca pañcadhā punaḥ prakalpyāstvatimitraśatravaḥ||45||

The Sun, the Moon and Mars are Saturn's enemies; Jupiter is neutral to him; Venus and Mercury are his friends. From the temporal and the natural relations taken together, five degrees are then to be reckoned again — including the great friends and the bitter enemies.

द्वयोः सुहृत्त्वं त्वतिमित्रता भवेद् द्विधाऽरयस्ते तु सदाऽतिशत्रवः। सुहृत्समत्वं सुहृदेव केवलं रिपुः समारिस्त्वरिमित्रतासमः॥४६॥

dvayoḥ suhṛttvaṃ tvatimitratā bhaved dvidhā'rayaste tu sadā'tiśatravaḥ| suhṛtsamatvaṃ suhṛdeva kevalaṃ ripuḥ samāristvarimitratāsamaḥ||46||

Friendship on both counts becomes great friendship; enemies on both counts are always bitter enemies. Friend-and-neutral is simply a friend; enemy-and-neutral is an enemy; and enemy-and-friend is neutral.

रविः स्थिरः शीतकरश्चरः स्यादुग्रः कुजश्चन्द्रसुतस्तु मिश्रः । मृदुः सुरेज्यो भृगुजो लघुश्च शनिः सुतीक्ष्णः कथितो मुनीन्द्रैः

raviḥ sthiraḥ śītakaraścaraḥ syādugraḥ kujaścandrasutastu miśraḥ | mṛduḥ surejyo bhṛgujo laghuśca śaniḥ sutīkṣṇaḥ kathito munīndraiḥ

The Sun is steadfast, the cool-rayed Moon is moving, Mars is fierce, and the Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩ is of mixed nature; the preceptor of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ is gentle, Bhṛgu's son ⟨Venus⟩ is light, and Saturn is very sharp — so the foremost of sages have declared.

क्रमाच्चरागद्विशरीरभानामुपान्त्यधर्मस्मरगास्तदीशाः । खरेशमान्दिस्थितराशिनाथा ह्यतीव बाधाकरखेचराः स्युः

kramāccarāgadviśarīrabhānāmupāntyadharmasmaragāstadīśāḥ | khareśamāndisthitarāśināthā hyatīva bādhākarakhecarāḥ syuḥ

For signs that are movable, fixed ⟨aga⟩ and dual, in that order, the lords of the eleventh ⟨upāntya⟩, of the ninth ⟨dharma⟩ and of the seventh ⟨smara⟩ — and along with them the lords of the signs occupied by Khareśa and by Māndi ⟨Gulika⟩ — are the planets that obstruct most of all.

सूर्यादात्मपितृप्रभावनिरुजाशक्तिश्रियश्चिन्तयेत् चेतोबुद्धिनृपप्रसादजननीसम्पत्करश्चन्द्रमाः । सत्त्वं रोगगुणानुजावनिसुतज्ञातीर्धरासूनुना विद्याबन्धुविवेकमातुलसुहृत्त्वक्कर्मकृद्बोधनः

From the Sun one should consider the self, the father, majesty, freedom from disease, power and prosperity. The Moon is the maker of the mind, the intellect, the favour of the king, the mother and wealth. Strength, disease, quality, the younger brother, land, ⟨sons⟩ and kinsmen — ⟨these are judged⟩ through Mars, the son of the Earth. Mercury, the awakener, brings about learning, kinsmen, discrimination, the maternal uncle, friends, the skin and action.

प्रज्ञानित्यशरीरपुष्टितनयज्ञानानि वागीश्वरात् पत्नीवाहनभूषणानि मदनव्यापारसौख्यं भृगोः । आयुर्जीवनमृत्युकारणविपत्सम्पत्प्रदाता शनिः सर्पेणैव पितामहं तु शिखिना मातामहं चिन्तयेत्

Wisdom, the body's constant nourishment, sons and knowledge ⟨come⟩ from the lord of speech ⟨Jupiter⟩. Wife, vehicles, ornaments and the happiness of amorous dealings, from Venus. Saturn is the giver of lifespan, livelihood, the cause of death, misfortune and fortune. By the serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩ alone one should consider the paternal grandfather, and by the crested one ⟨Ketu⟩ the maternal grandfather.

द्युमणिरमरमन्त्री भूसुतः सोमसौम्यौ गुरुरिनतनयारौ भार्गवो भानुपुत्रः । दिनकरदिविजेज्यौ जीवभानुज्ञमन्दाः सुरगुरुरिनसूनुः कारकाः स्युर्विलग्नात्

dyumaṇiramaramantrī bhūsutaḥ somasaumyau gururinatanayārau bhārgavo bhānuputraḥ | dinakaradivijejyau jīvabhānujñamandāḥ suragururinasūnuḥ kārakāḥ syurvilagnāt

The Sun; the counsellor of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩; the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩; the Moon and Mercury; Jupiter; the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩ and Mars; Venus; the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩; the Sun and Jupiter; Jupiter, the Sun, Mercury and Saturn; the preceptor of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩; and the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩ — these are the kārakas ⟨of the twelve houses⟩ reckoned from the lagna.

कामावनीनन्दनराशियाताः सितेन्दुपुत्रामरवन्द्यमानाः । अरिष्टदास्तेऽखिलजातकेषु सदाऽष्टमस्थः शनिरिष्टदः स्यात्

kāmāvanīnandanarāśiyātāḥ sitenduputrāmaravandyamānāḥ | ariṣṭadāste'khilajātakeṣu sadā'ṣṭamasthaḥ śaniriṣṭadaḥ syāt

Venus, the Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩ and he who is adored by the immortals ⟨Jupiter⟩, when gone to the signs of kāma ⟨the 7th⟩, avanī ⟨the 4th⟩ and nandana ⟨the 5th⟩ ⟨respectively⟩, are givers of calamity in every nativity; but Saturn placed in the 8th is always a giver of benefit.

प्रतापशाली चतुरस्रदेहः श्यामारुणाङ्गो मधुपिङ्गलाक्षः । पित्तात्मकः स्वल्पकचाभिरामो दिवाकरः सत्त्वगुणप्रधानः

pratāpaśālī caturasradehaḥ śyāmāruṇāṅgo madhupiṅgalākṣaḥ | pittātmakaḥ svalpakacābhirāmo divākaraḥ sattvaguṇapradhānaḥ

Full of majesty, square of body, with dark-red limbs and honey-tawny eyes, of bilious constitution, handsome though scant of hair, predominantly of the sattva quality — such is the Sun.

सञ्चारशीलो मृदुवाग्विवेकी शुभेक्षणश्चारुतरस्थिराङ्गः । सदैव धीमांस्तनुवृत्तकायः कफानिलात्मा च सुधाकरः स्यात्

sañcāraśīlo mṛduvāgvivekī śubhekṣaṇaścārutarasthirāṅgaḥ | sadaiva dhīmāṃstanuvṛttakāyaḥ kaphānilātmā ca sudhākaraḥ syāt

Given to roaming, soft of speech, discerning, of auspicious gaze, with exceedingly lovely and steady limbs, always wise, of slender and rounded body, and of phlegm-and-wind constitution — such is the Moon, the maker of nectar.

क्रूरेक्षणस्तरुणमूर्त्तिरुदारशीलः पित्तात्मकः सुचपलः कृशमध्यदेशः । संरक्तगौररुचिरावयवः प्रतापी कामी तमोगुणरतस्तु धराकुमारः

krūrekṣaṇastaruṇamūrttirudāraśīlaḥ pittātmakaḥ sucapalaḥ kṛśamadhyadeśaḥ | saṃraktagaurarucirāvayavaḥ pratāpī kāmī tamoguṇaratastu dharākumāraḥ

Of cruel gaze, youthful in form, generous in conduct, of bilious constitution, very fickle, slender at the waist, with reddish-fair and lovely limbs, majestic, lustful, and devoted to the tamas quality — such is Mars, the prince of the Earth.

दूर्वादलद्युतितनुः स्फुटवाक् कृशाङ्गः स्वामी रजोगुणवतामतिहास्यलोलः । हानिप्रियो विपुलपित्तकफानिलात्मा सद्यः प्रतापविभवः शशिजश्च विद्वान्

dūrvādaladyutitanuḥ sphuṭavāk kṛśāṅgaḥ svāmī rajoguṇavatāmatihāsyalolaḥ | hānipriyo vipulapittakaphānilātmā sadyaḥ pratāpavibhavaḥ śaśijaśca vidvān

With a body of the lustre of a dūrvā blade, clear of speech, slender-limbed, lord of those in whom rajas prevails, exceedingly given to laughter, fond of ⟨causing⟩ loss, of abundant bile, phlegm and wind together, of instant majesty and power, and learned — such is Mercury, the Moon's son.

बृहदुदरशरीरः पीतवर्णः कफात्मा सकलगुणसमेतः सर्वशास्त्राधिकारी । कपिलरुचिकचाक्षः सात्त्विकोऽतीव धीमान् अलघुनृपतिचिह्नः श्रीधरो देवमन्त्री

bṛhadudaraśarīraḥ pītavarṇaḥ kaphātmā sakalaguṇasametaḥ sarvaśāstrādhikārī | kapilarucikacākṣaḥ sāttviko'tīva dhīmān alaghunṛpaticihnaḥ śrīdharo devamantrī

With a large-bellied body, yellow of hue, of phlegmatic constitution, endowed with every good quality, master of all the śāstras, tawny-hued in hair and eye, sāttvika and exceedingly wise, bearing no slight marks of a king, a bearer of śrī — such is Jupiter, the counsellor of the gods.

असितकुटिलकेशः श्यामसौन्दर्यशाली समततरुचिराङ्गः सौम्यदृक् कामशीलः । अतिपवनकफात्मा राजसः श्रीनिधानः सुखबलसुगुणानामाकरश्चासुरेज्यः

asitakuṭilakeśaḥ śyāmasaundaryaśālī samatatarucirāṅgaḥ saumyadṛk kāmaśīlaḥ | atipavanakaphātmā rājasaḥ śrīnidhānaḥ sukhabalasuguṇānāmākaraścāsurejyaḥ

With black curling hair, possessed of dark beauty, with evenly lovely limbs, gentle of eye, amorous by disposition, of much wind and phlegm, rājasika, a repository of śrī, and a mine of comfort, strength and good qualities — such is Venus, the preceptor of the asuras.

काठिन्यरोमावयवः कृशात्मा दूर्वासिताङ्गः कफमारुतात्मा । पीनद्विजश्चारुपिशङ्गदृष्टिः सौरिस्तमो बुद्धिरतोऽलसः स्यात्

kāṭhinyaromāvayavaḥ kṛśātmā dūrvāsitāṅgaḥ kaphamārutātmā | pīnadvijaścārupiśaṅgadṛṣṭiḥ sauristamo buddhirato'lasaḥ syāt

With limbs of coarse hair, lean of body, with limbs dark as dūrvā, of phlegm-and-wind constitution, thick of tooth, of comely tawny gaze — Saturn is of tāmasa understanding and indolent.

अर्केण मन्दः, शनिना महीसुतः, कुजेन जीवो गुरुणा निशाकरः । सोमेन शुक्रोऽसुरमन्त्रिणा बुधो बुधेन चन्द्रः खलु वर्द्धते सदा

arkeṇa mandaḥ, śaninā mahīsutaḥ, kujena jīvo guruṇā niśākaraḥ | somena śukro'suramantriṇā budho budhena candraḥ khalu varddhate sadā

By the Sun, Saturn ⟨increases⟩; by Saturn, the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩; by Mars, Jupiter; by Jupiter, the maker of night ⟨the Moon⟩; by the Moon, Venus; by the counsellor of the asuras ⟨Venus⟩, Mercury; and by Mercury the Moon indeed always increases.

स्वोच्चस्वकीयभवनस्वदृगाणहोरावारांशकोदगयनेषु दिनस्य मध्ये । राशिप्रवेशसमये सुहृदंशकादौ मेषूरणे दिनमणिर्बलवानजस्रम्

svoccasvakīyabhavanasvadṛgāṇahorāvārāṃśakodagayaneṣu dinasya madhye | rāśipraveśasamaye suhṛdaṃśakādau meṣūraṇe dinamaṇirbalavānajasram

The Sun is unfailingly strong in his exaltation, in his own house, in his own drekkāṇa, horā, weekday and aṃśa, in the northern course (udagayana), at the middle of the day, at the moment of his entry into a sign, at the opening of a friend's aṃśa and the like, and in the meṣūraṇa ⟨the 10th house⟩.

चन्द्रः कर्किणि गोपतौ निजदिनद्रेक्काणहोरांशके राश्यन्ते शुभवीक्षणे निशि सुखे याम्यायने वीर्यवान् । इन्दुः सर्वकलाधरो यदि बली सर्वत्र सन्धिं विना सर्वव्योमचरेक्षितस्तु कुरुते भूपालयोगं नृणाम्

candraḥ karkiṇi gopatau nijadinadrekkāṇahorāṃśake rāśyante śubhavīkṣaṇe niśi sukhe yāmyāyane vīryavān | induḥ sarvakalādharo yadi balī sarvatra sandhiṃ vinā sarvavyomacarekṣitastu kurute bhūpālayogaṃ nṛṇām

The Moon is full of vigour in Cancer, in Gopati ⟨Taurus⟩, in his own weekday, drekkāṇa, horā and aṃśa, at the end of a sign, when aspected by a benefic, at night, in the 4th house (sukha), and in the southern course (yāmyāyana). And the Moon bearing all his digits, if he is strong everywhere save at a sandhi ⟨a junction⟩, and is aspected by all the sky-going grahas, makes for men the yoga of a king.

आरः स्ववारनवभागदृगाणवर्गे मीनालिकुम्भमृगतुम्बुरुयामिनीषु । वक्रे च याम्यदिशि राशिमुखे बलाढ्यो मीने कुलीरभवने च सुखं ददाति

āraḥ svavāranavabhāgadṛgāṇavarge mīnālikumbhamṛgatumburuyāminīṣu | vakre ca yāmyadiśi rāśimukhe balāḍhyo mīne kulīrabhavane ca sukhaṃ dadāti

Mars abounds in strength in his own weekday, navabhāga ⟨navāṃśa⟩, drekkāṇa and varga; in Pisces, Ali ⟨Scorpio⟩, Aquarius, Mṛga ⟨Capricorn⟩ and ⟨tumburu, a fifth name that matches no rāśi⟩; in the nights; when retrograde; in the southern quarter; and at the head of a sign. In Pisces and in the house of Kulīra ⟨Cancer⟩ he gives happiness.

कन्यानृयुग्मभवने निजवारवर्गे चापे विना रविमहर्निशमिन्दुसूनुः । सौम्यायने च बलवानपि राशिमध्ये लग्ने सदा यदि यशोबलवृद्धिदः स्यात्

kanyānṛyugmabhavane nijavāravarge cāpe vinā ravimaharniśamindusūnuḥ | saumyāyane ca balavānapi rāśimadhye lagne sadā yadi yaśobalavṛddhidaḥ syāt

Mercury is strong in the houses of Kanyā and Nṛyugma ⟨Gemini, 'the human pair'⟩, in his own weekday and varga, in Cāpa ⟨Sagittarius⟩, when apart from the Sun, by day and by night alike, in the northern course (saumyāyana), and even in the middle of a sign; and if he is in the ascendant (lagna) he is always a giver of increase of fame and strength.

मीनालिचापकटके निजवर्गवारे मध्यन्दिनोदगयने यदि राशिमध्ये । कुम्भे च नीचभवनेऽपि बली सुरेज्यो लग्ने सुखे च दशमे बहुवित्तदः स्यात्

mīnālicāpakaṭake nijavargavāre madhyandinodagayane yadi rāśimadhye | kumbhe ca nīcabhavane'pi balī surejyo lagne sukhe ca daśame bahuvittadaḥ syāt

Jupiter, worshipped of the gods, is strong in Pisces, Ali ⟨Scorpio⟩, Cāpa ⟨Sagittarius⟩ and Kaṭaka ⟨Cancer⟩, in his own varga and weekday, at midday, in the northern course, when in the middle of a sign — and in Aquarius, and even in his sign of debilitation; in the ascendant (lagna), in the 4th (sukha) and in the 10th he becomes a giver of much wealth.

स्वोच्चस्ववर्गदिवसे यदि राशिमध्ये शत्रुव्ययानुजगृहे हिबुकेऽपराह्णे । युद्धे च शीतकरसङ्गमवक्रचारे शुक्रोऽरुणस्य पुरतो यदि शोभनः स्यात्

svoccasvavargadivase yadi rāśimadhye śatruvyayānujagṛhe hibuke'parāhṇe | yuddhe ca śītakarasaṅgamavakracāre śukro'ruṇasya purato yadi śobhanaḥ syāt

Venus is auspicious when in his exaltation, his own varga and his own weekday, when in the middle of a sign, in the houses of the enemy (6th), of loss (12th) and of the younger brother (3rd), in the hibuka ⟨the 4th house⟩, in the afternoon, in a planetary war, in conjunction with the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩, in retrograde motion, and when he goes ahead of Aruṇa ⟨the Sun⟩.

मन्दस्तुलामकरकुम्भगृहे कलत्रे याम्यायने निजदृगाणदिने दशायाम् । अन्ते गृहस्य समरे यदि कृष्णपक्षे वक्रः समस्तभवनेषु बलाधिकः स्यात्

mandastulāmakarakumbhagṛhe kalatre yāmyāyane nijadṛgāṇadine daśāyām | ante gṛhasya samare yadi kṛṣṇapakṣe vakraḥ samastabhavaneṣu balādhikaḥ syāt

Saturn is of surpassing strength in the houses of Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius, in the 7th (kalatra), in the southern course, in his own drekkāṇa, weekday and daśā, at the end of a sign, in a planetary war, in the dark fortnight — and when retrograde, in all the houses.

मेषालिकुम्भतरुणीवृषकर्कटेषु मेषूरणे च बलवानुरगाधिपः स्यात् । कन्यावसानवृषचापधरे निशायामुत्पातकेतुजनने च शिखी बली स्यात्

meṣālikumbhataruṇīvṛṣakarkaṭeṣu meṣūraṇe ca balavānuragādhipaḥ syāt | kanyāvasānavṛṣacāpadhare niśāyāmutpātaketujanane ca śikhī balī syāt

Rāhu, the lord of serpents, is strong in Meṣa, Ali ⟨Scorpio⟩, Kumbha, Taruṇī ⟨Virgo, 'the maiden'⟩, Vṛṣa and Karkaṭa, and in the meṣūraṇa ⟨the 10th house⟩. Ketu, the crested one, is strong at the close of Kanyā, in Vṛṣa and in Cāpadhara ⟨Sagittarius, 'the bow-bearer'⟩, at night, and at a birth ⟨falling⟩ at the appearance of a portent-comet.

प्रोक्तप्रकारप्रबलान्विता ये मूलं गतास्ते विबला भवन्ति । भावेषु योगेषु दशाफलेषु न सम्यगुक्तानि फलानि सन्ति

proktaprakāraprabalānvitā ye mūlaṃ gatāste vibalā bhavanti | bhāveṣu yogeṣu daśāphaleṣu na samyaguktāni phalāni santi

Those ⟨grahas⟩ furnished with strength of the kinds declared become weak when they have gone to the mūla ⟨the initial point of a bhāva⟩; and then, in the bhāvas, in the yogas and in the fruits of the daśās, the effects that have been declared do not come out right.

अधोमुखा दिनेशस्य पूर्वषट्कस्थिता ग्रहाः । अपरार्द्धस्थिताः भानोरूर्ध्वास्याः सुखवित्तदाः

adhomukhā dineśasya pūrvaṣaṭkasthitā grahāḥ | aparārddhasthitāḥ bhānorūrdhvāsyāḥ sukhavittadāḥ

Grahas placed in the first six ⟨signs⟩ from the Sun are downward-facing; those placed in the latter half from the Sun are upward-facing, and are givers of comfort and wealth.

भानामवस्थानगताः क्रमेण मन्दार्यभौमार्कसितज्ञचन्द्राः । तेषामधःस्थानगतो बलीयान् राहुर्महीमण्डलमूर्ध्नि संस्थः

bhānāmavasthānagatāḥ krameṇa mandāryabhaumārkasitajñacandrāḥ | teṣāmadhaḥsthānagato balīyān rāhurmahīmaṇḍalamūrdhni saṃsthaḥ

Saturn, Ārya ⟨Jupiter⟩, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury and the Moon occupy the stations of the heavenly bodies in that order. Among them, the one that has gone to the lower station is the stronger — and Rāhu stands upon the very crown of the orb of the earth.

सभानुरिन्दुः शशिजश्चतुर्थे गुरुः सुते भूमिसुतः कुटुम्बे । भृगुः सपत्ने रविजः कलत्रे विलग्नतस्ते विफला भवन्ति

sabhānurinduḥ śaśijaścaturthe guruḥ sute bhūmisutaḥ kuṭumbe | bhṛguḥ sapatne ravijaḥ kalatre vilagnataste viphalā bhavanti

The Moon together with the Sun; Mercury in the 4th; Jupiter in the 5th (suta); Mars in the 2nd (kuṭumba); Venus in the 6th (sapatna); Saturn in the 7th (kalatra) — reckoned from the ascendant (lagna), these become fruitless.

राहुदोषम्बुधो हन्यादुभयोस्तु शनैश्चरः । त्रयाणां भूमिजो हन्ति चतुर्णां दानवार्चितः

rāhudoṣambudho hanyādubhayostu śanaiścaraḥ | trayāṇāṃ bhūmijo hanti caturṇāṃ dānavārcitaḥ

Mercury destroys the doṣa of Rāhu; Saturn that of two; Mars destroys ⟨the doṣa⟩ of three; and he whom the dānavas worship ⟨Venus⟩ that of four.

पञ्चानां देवमन्त्री च षण्णां दोषं तु चन्द्रमाः । सप्तदोषं रविर्हन्याद्विशेषादुत्तरायणे

pañcānāṃ devamantrī ca ṣaṇṇāṃ doṣaṃ tu candramāḥ | saptadoṣaṃ ravirhanyādviśeṣāduttarāyaṇe

The counsellor of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ ⟨destroys the doṣa⟩ of five, and the Moon the doṣa of six; the Sun destroys the doṣa of seven, and does so especially in the northern course (uttarāyaṇa).

सदाऽग्निरोगज्वरवृद्धिदीपनक्षयातिसारादिकरोगसङ्कुलम् । नृपालदेवावनिदेवकिङ्करैः करोति चित्तव्यसनं दिवाकरः

sadā'gnirogajvaravṛddhidīpanakṣayātisārādikarogasaṅkulam | nṛpāladevāvanidevakiṅkaraiḥ karoti cittavyasanaṃ divākaraḥ

The maker of day ⟨the Sun⟩ always works a distress of mind thronged with diseases — ailments of fire, the increase of fever, burning, consumption, dysentery and their like — and works it through kings, gods, earth-gods ⟨brāhmaṇas⟩ and servants.

पाण्डुदोषजलदोषकामलापीनसादिरमणीकृतामयैः । कालिकासुरसुवासिनीगणैराकुलं च कुरुते तु चन्द्रमाः

pāṇḍudoṣajaladoṣakāmalāpīnasādiramaṇīkṛtāmayaiḥ | kālikāsurasuvāsinīgaṇairākulaṃ ca kurute tu candramāḥ

And the Moon makes ⟨a man⟩ beset with pāṇḍu-doṣa ⟨pallor⟩, jala-doṣa ⟨watery disorder⟩, jaundice, catarrh and the like, and with ailments brought on by women — and by the hosts of Kālikās, asuras and suvāsinīs.

पीनबीजकफशस्त्रपावकग्रन्थिरुग्व्रणदरिद्रजामयैः । वीरशैवगणभैरवादिभिर्भीतिमाशु कुरुते धरासुतः

pīnabījakaphaśastrapāvakagranthirugvraṇadaridrajāmayaiḥ | vīraśaivagaṇabhairavādibhirbhītimāśu kurute dharāsutaḥ

The son of the earth ⟨Mars⟩ swiftly causes terror through swollen testicles, phlegm, weapons, fire, glandular tumours, ulcers and ailments born of destitution, and through Vīraśaivas, gaṇas, Bhairavas and the like.

गुह्योदरादृश्यसमीरकुष्ठमन्दाग्निशूलग्रहणीरुगाद्यैः । बुधादिविष्णुप्रियदासभूतैरतीव दुःखं शशिजः करोति

guhyodarādṛśyasamīrakuṣṭhamandāgniśūlagrahaṇīrugādyaiḥ | budhādiviṣṇupriyadāsabhūtairatīva duḥkhaṃ śaśijaḥ karoti

Mercury works exceeding pain through unseen wind in the private parts and the belly, through leprosy, weak digestion, colic, grahaṇī ⟨the diarrhoeal disease⟩ and their like, and through the wise and the rest, the beloved of Viṣṇu, servants and bhūtas ⟨spirits⟩.

आचार्यदेवगुरुभूसुरशापदोषैः शोकं च गुल्मरुजमिन्द्रगुरुः करोति । कान्ताविकारजनिमेहरुजा सुराद्यैः स्वेष्टाङ्गनाजनकृतैर्भयमासुरेज्यः

ācāryadevagurubhūsuraśāpadoṣaiḥ śokaṃ ca gulmarujamindraguruḥ karoti | kāntāvikārajanimeharujā surādyaiḥ sveṣṭāṅganājanakṛtairbhayamāsurejyaḥ

The preceptor of Indra ⟨Jupiter⟩ causes grief and the gulma disease through the fault of curses uttered by ācāryas, gods, gurus and earth-gods ⟨brāhmaṇas⟩. He whom the asuras worship ⟨Venus⟩ causes fear through the disease of disorder brought on by a beloved woman, of the generative organs and of the urine, and through gods and the rest, and through what is done by the folk of his own beloved women.

दारिद्र्यदोषनिजकर्मपिशाचचौरैः क्लेशं करोति रविजः सह सन्धिरोगैः । कण्डूमसूरिरिपुकृत्रिमकर्मरोगैः स्वाचारहीनलघुजातिगणैश्च केतुः

dāridryadoṣanijakarmapiśācacauraiḥ kleśaṃ karoti ravijaḥ saha sandhirogaiḥ | kaṇḍūmasūriripukṛtrimakarmarogaiḥ svācārahīnalaghujātigaṇaiśca ketuḥ

The son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩ causes affliction through the fault of poverty, one's own karma, piśācas and thieves, together with diseases of the joints. And Ketu ⟨causes it⟩ through itch, smallpox and diseases wrought by the contrived acts of enemies, and through hordes of low caste devoid of good conduct.

करोत्यपस्मारमसूरिरज्जुक्षुद्रकृमिप्रेतपिशाचभूतैः। उद्बन्धनाच्चारुचिकुष्ठरोगैः विधुन्तुदश्चातिभयं नराणाम्॥८१॥

karotyapasmāramasūrirajjukṣudrakṛmipretapiśācabhūtaiḥ| udbandhanāccārucikuṣṭharogaiḥ vidhuntudaścātibhayaṃ narāṇām||81||

Rāhu brings men great terror — through epilepsy, smallpox, the noose, small crawling things, worms, departed spirits, fiends and goblins; through death by hanging; and through diseases of loss of appetite and leprosy.

आद्यंतमध्यभवनोपगता नभोगा श्चादित्यभूमितनयौ शनिशीतरश्मी। जीवासुरेंद्रसचिवौ फलदाः क्रमेण तारासुतः सकलकालफलप्रदः स्यात्॥८२॥

ādyaṃtamadhyabhavanopagatā nabhogā ścādityabhūmitanayau śaniśītaraśmī| jīvāsureṃdrasacivau phaladāḥ krameṇa tārāsutaḥ sakalakālaphalapradaḥ syāt||82||

The planets give their fruit according as they occupy the beginning, the end or the middle of a sign — the Sun and Mars, then Saturn and the cool-rayed Moon, then Jupiter and the preceptor of the demons, in that order. Mercury gives fruit at every time alike.

यद्धातुकोपजनिताखिलरोगशान्त्यै तत्स्वाम्यमाशु जपतर्पणहोमदानैः। संपूज्य रोगभयशोकविमुक्तचित्ताः सर्वे नराः सुखयशोबलशालिनः स्युः॥८३॥

yaddhātukopajanitākhilarogaśāntyai tatsvāmyamāśu japatarpaṇahomadānaiḥ| saṃpūjya rogabhayaśokavimuktacittāḥ sarve narāḥ sukhayaśobalaśālinaḥ syuḥ||83||

To quiet every disease born of the irritation of a bodily humour, let men swiftly worship the lord of that humour with recitation, libation, oblation and gift; their minds then freed of disease, fear and grief, they all come to possess happiness, fame and strength.

बालः कुमारोऽथ युवा च वृद्धो मृतश्च राशावयुजि क्रमेण । त्रिंशल्लवैर्व्यत्ययतः समे स्युरेकैकशोऽंशाः पुनरेव कार्याः

bālaḥ kumāro'tha yuvā ca vṛddho mṛtaśca rāśāvayuji krameṇa | triṃśallavairvyatyayataḥ same syurekaikaśo'ṃśāḥ punareva kāryāḥ

Infant, boy, then youth, old man and dead — in an odd sign ⟨a graha passes through these⟩ in that order across the thirty degrees; in an even sign they run by reversal. The portions are to be made again, one by one.

उच्चांशे स्वनवांशे च जागरूकं वदन्ति हि । सुहृन्नवांशकं स्वप्नं सुप्तं नीचारिभांशकम्

uccāṃśe svanavāṃśe ca jāgarūkaṃ vadanti hi | suhṛnnavāṃśakaṃ svapnaṃ suptaṃ nīcāribhāṃśakam

In the exaltation-aṃśa and in his own navāṃśa they call ⟨a graha⟩ awake; a friend's navāṃśa is his dreaming; his sleep is the aṃśa of debilitation or of an enemy's sign.

शीर्षोदयगतः खेटः पाकादौ फलदो भवेत् । पृष्ठोदयस्थः पाकान्ते सदा चोभयराशिगः

śīrṣodayagataḥ kheṭaḥ pākādau phalado bhavet | pṛṣṭhodayasthaḥ pākānte sadā cobhayarāśigaḥ

A graha in a śīrṣodaya ⟨head-rising⟩ sign gives fruit at the beginning of the pāka ⟨the ripening of its period⟩; one in a pṛṣṭhodaya ⟨back-rising⟩ sign at the end of the pāka; and one in a sign of both risings, always.

समस्तहोराफलसारसान्द्रविराजिते जातकपारिजाते । ग्रहक्रियारूपगुणप्रभेदः सङ्कीर्तितः खेटकृपाकटाक्षात्

samastahorāphalasārasāndravirājite jātakapārijāte | grahakriyārūpaguṇaprabhedaḥ saṅkīrtitaḥ kheṭakṛpākaṭākṣāt

In the Jātaka Pārijāta, resplendent and dense with the essence of all the fruits of horā ⟨the science of nativities⟩, the distinctions of the grahas' action, form and quality have been declared, by the gracious side-glance of the grahas.

क्रूरग्रहैः सुबलिभिर्विबलैश्च सौम्यैः क्लीबे चतुष्टयगते तदवेक्षणाद्वा । चन्द्रोपगद्विरसभागसमानरूपं सत्त्वं वदेद्यदि भवेत्स वियोनिसंज्ञः

krūragrahaiḥ subalibhirvibalaiśca saumyaiḥ klībe catuṣṭayagate tadavekṣaṇādvā | candropagadvirasabhāgasamānarūpaṃ sattvaṃ vadedyadi bhavetsa viyonisaṃjñaḥ

When the malefic grahas are very strong and the benefics weak, and a neuter graha (klība) is gone to a kendra (catuṣṭaya), or by its aspect ⟨upon a kendra⟩ — one should declare the creature to be of a form like the twelfth-part (dvādaśāṃśa) the Moon occupies, if the birth be one termed viyoni ⟨a birth in a non-human womb⟩.

पापा बलिनः स्वभागगाः पारक्ये विबलाश्च शोभनाः । लग्नं च वियोनिसंज्ञकं दृष्ट्वाऽत्रापि वियोनिमादिशेत्

pāpā balinaḥ svabhāgagāḥ pārakye vibalāśca śobhanāḥ | lagnaṃ ca viyonisaṃjñakaṃ dṛṣṭvā'trāpi viyonimādiśet

The malefics strong and standing in their own aṃśas, the benefics weak and in another's, and the lagna one termed viyoni — having seen this, here too one should declare a birth in a non-human womb.

क्रियः शिरो वक्त्रगलो वृषोऽन्ये पादांसकं पृष्ठमुरोऽथ पार्श्वे । कुक्षिस्त्वपानोऽघ्न्यथ मेढ्रमुष्कौ स्फिक्पुच्छमित्याह चतुष्पदाङ्गे

kriyaḥ śiro vaktragalo vṛṣo'nye pādāṃsakaṃ pṛṣṭhamuro'tha pārśve | kukṣistvapāno'ghnyatha meḍhramuṣkau sphikpucchamityāha catuṣpadāṅge

Kriya (Aries) is the head, ⟨Taurus⟩ the mouth and the neck, and the rest ⟨in order⟩: the feet and the shoulder, the back, the chest, then the two flanks, the belly, the anus and the foot, the penis and the testicles, the buttock, the tail — thus has he stated ⟨the signs⟩ upon the limbs of a quadruped.

लग्नांशकाद्ग्रहयोगेक्षणाद्वा वर्णान् वदेद्बलयुक्ताद् वियोनौ । दृष्ट्या समानान् प्रवदेत्तु संख्यां रेखां वदेत्स्मरसंस्थैश्च पृष्ठे

lagnāṃśakādgrahayogekṣaṇādvā varṇān vadedbalayuktād viyonau | dṛṣṭyā samānān pravadettu saṃkhyāṃ rekhāṃ vadetsmarasaṃsthaiśca pṛṣṭhe

In a viyoni ⟨birth⟩ one should declare the colours from the aṃśa of the lagna, or from the conjunction and aspect of grahas — from that one which is endowed with strength. By the aspect ⟨of several⟩ he should declare colours equal to their own number; and by ⟨grahas⟩ standing in the 7th (smara) he should declare a streak upon the back.

देहाम्बुगौ सुखाङ्गेशौ चतुष्पाज्जननं भवेत् । देहेशे सुखपे वाऽहिकेतुयुक्ते पशोर्जनिः

dehāmbugau sukhāṅgeśau catuṣpājjananaṃ bhavet | deheśe sukhape vā'hiketuyukte paśorjaniḥ

When the lords of the 4th (sukha) and of the 1st (aṅga) are gone to the 1st (deha) and the 4th (ambu), the birth will be as a quadruped. When the lord of the 1st, or the lord of the 4th, is joined with Rāhu (ahi) and Ketu, the birth is that of a beast.

शुक्रेक्षिते गोजननं महिष्यार्कियुतेक्षिते । राहुकेतुयुक्ते मेषः पापाढ्येऽन्यपशोजनिः

śukrekṣite gojananaṃ mahiṣyārkiyutekṣite | rāhuketuyukte meṣaḥ pāpāḍhye'nyapaśojaniḥ

Aspected by Venus, birth as a cow; joined with or aspected by Saturn (ārki), as a buffalo; joined with Rāhu and Ketu, a ram; and where ⟨the place⟩ is thick with malefics, birth as some other beast.

खगे दृकाणे बलसंयुतेन वा ग्रहेण युक्ते चरभांशकोदये । बुधांशके वा विहगाः स्थलाम्बुजाः शनैश्चरेन्द्वीक्षणयोगसंभवाः

khage dṛkāṇe balasaṃyutena vā graheṇa yukte carabhāṃśakodaye | budhāṃśake vā vihagāḥ sthalāmbujāḥ śanaiścarendvīkṣaṇayogasaṃbhavāḥ

When ⟨the lagna is⟩ in a bird drekkāṇa, or joined with a graha endowed with strength, and the rising aṃśa is that of a movable sign, or is Mercury's aṃśa — birds ⟨are born⟩; the land-dwelling and the water-dwelling ones arise from the aspect or conjunction of Saturn and of the Moon ⟨respectively⟩.

होरेन्दुसूरिरविभिर्विबलैस्तरूणां तोयस्थले तरुभवांशकृतः प्रभेदः । लग्नाद्ग्रहः स्थलजलर्क्षपतिस्तु यावांस्तावन्त एव तरवः स्थलतोयजाताः

horendusūriravibhirvibalaistarūṇāṃ toyasthale tarubhavāṃśakṛtaḥ prabhedaḥ | lagnādgrahaḥ sthalajalarkṣapatistu yāvāṃstāvanta eva taravaḥ sthalatoyajātāḥ

When the lagna (horā), the Moon, Jupiter (sūri) and the Sun are weak, ⟨the birth is⟩ of trees; the distinction of the tree's origin, in water or on land, is made by the aṃśa. As many grahas, reckoned from the lagna, as are lords of land-signs or of water-signs — just so many are the trees, born on land or in water.

अन्तःसारान् जनयति रविर्दुर्भगान् सूर्यसूनुः क्षीरोपेतांस्तुहिनकिरणः कण्टकाढ्यांश्च भौमः । वागीशज्ञौ सफलविफलान् पुष्पवृक्षांश्च शुक्रः स्निग्धानिन्दुः कटुकविटपान् भूमिपुत्रस्तु भूयः

antaḥsārān janayati ravirdurbhagān sūryasūnuḥ kṣīropetāṃstuhinakiraṇaḥ kaṇṭakāḍhyāṃśca bhaumaḥ | vāgīśajñau saphalaviphalān puṣpavṛkṣāṃśca śukraḥ snigdhāninduḥ kaṭukaviṭapān bhūmiputrastu bhūyaḥ

The Sun brings forth trees with pith within; the Sun's son (Saturn) ill-favoured ones; the cool-rayed one (the Moon) those full of milk; and Mars those thick with thorns. Vāgīśa (Jupiter) and Jña (Mercury) the fruit-bearing and the fruitless; Venus flowering trees; the Moon glossy ones; and the earth's son (Mars) again those of pungent boughs.

शुभोऽशुभर्क्षे रुचिरं कुभूमिजं करोति वृक्षं विपरीतमन्यथा । परांशके यावति विच्युतः स्वकाद् भवन्ति तुल्यास्तरवस्तथाविधाः

śubho'śubharkṣe ruciraṃ kubhūmijaṃ karoti vṛkṣaṃ viparītamanyathā | parāṃśake yāvati vicyutaḥ svakād bhavanti tulyāstaravastathāvidhāḥ

A benefic in an inauspicious sign makes a lovely tree grown from poor ground; otherwise the reverse. By as many aṃśas of another as ⟨a graha⟩ has fallen away from its own, so many are the trees of that same kind.

कुजेन्दुहेतु प्रतिमासमार्तवं गते तु पीडर्क्षमनुष्णदीधितौ । अतोऽन्यथास्थे शुभपुङ्ग्रहेक्षिते नरेण संयोगमुपैति कामिनी

kujenduhetu pratimāsamārtavaṃ gate tu pīḍarkṣamanuṣṇadīdhitau | ato'nyathāsthe śubhapuṅgrahekṣite nareṇa saṃyogamupaiti kāminī

Mars and the Moon are the cause of the monthly flow, month by month. When the one of no hot rays (the Moon) has gone to a sign of affliction ⟨the flow comes⟩; when it stands otherwise than that and is aspected by an auspicious male graha, the woman comes to union with a man.

यथाऽस्तराशिर्मिथुनं समेति तथैव वाच्यो मिथुनप्रयोगः ॥ असद्ग्रहालोकितसंयुतेऽस्ते सरोष इष्टैः सविलासहासः

yathā'starāśirmithunaṃ sameti tathaiva vācyo mithunaprayogaḥ || asadgrahālokitasaṃyute'ste saroṣa iṣṭaiḥ savilāsahāsaḥ

As the sign of the 7th (asta) comes to coupling, in just that manner is the act of union to be declared. When the 7th is aspected by or joined with evil grahas, ⟨the union is⟩ with anger; with the desired ⟨benefics⟩, with dalliance and laughter.

रवीन्दुशुक्रावनिजैः स्वभागगैः गुरौ त्रिकोणोदयसंस्थितेऽपि। वा । भवत्यपत्यं हि विबीजिनामिमे करा हिमांशोर्विदृशामिवाफलाः

ravīnduśukrāvanijaiḥ svabhāgagaiḥ gurau trikoṇodayasaṃsthite'pi| vā | bhavatyapatyaṃ hi vibījināmime karā himāṃśorvidṛśāmivāphalāḥ

When the Sun, the Moon, Venus and the earth-born (Mars) are in their own aṃśas (bhāga), or when Jupiter besides is placed in a trikoṇa or in the lagna, offspring indeed comes to be; but for the seedless these are fruitless, as the rays of the Moon are for those without eyes.

दिवाकरेन्द्वोः स्मरगौ कुजार्कजौ गदप्रदौ पुङ्गलयोषितोस्तदा । व्ययस्वगौ मृत्युकरौ युतौ तथा तदेकदृष्ट्या मरणाय कल्पितौ

divākarendvoḥ smaragau kujārkajau gadapradau puṅgalayoṣitostadā | vyayasvagau mṛtyukarau yutau tathā tadekadṛṣṭyā maraṇāya kalpitau

Mars and the Sun's son (Saturn) gone to the 7th (smara) from the Sun and from the Moon then give disease to the man and to the woman ⟨respectively⟩. Gone to the 12th (vyaya) and the 2nd (sva) they are causers of death; and conjoined, or by the aspect of even one of them, they are appointed for death.

दिवाऽर्कशुक्रौ पितृमातृसंज्ञितौ शनैश्चरेन्दू निशि तद्विपर्ययात् । पितृव्यमातृष्वसृसंज्ञितौ च तावथौजयुग्मर्क्षगतौ तयोः शुभौ

divā'rkaśukrau pitṛmātṛsaṃjñitau śanaiścarendū niśi tadviparyayāt | pitṛvyamātṛṣvasṛsaṃjñitau ca tāvathaujayugmarkṣagatau tayoḥ śubhau

By day the Sun and Venus are named father and mother; by night Saturn and the Moon, by the reverse of that. And those two are named the father's brother and the mother's sister; and when they have gone to an odd and to an even sign ⟨respectively⟩, they are auspicious for those two.

शीतज्योतिषि योषितोऽनुपचयस्थाने कुजेनेक्षिते । जातं गर्भफलप्रदं खलु रजः स्यादन्यथा निष्फलम् । दृष्टेऽस्मिन् गुरुणा निजोपचयगे कुर्यान्निषेकं पुमान् । अत्याज्ये च समूलभे शुभगुणे पर्वादिकालोज्झिते

śītajyotiṣi yoṣito'nupacayasthāne kujenekṣite | jātaṃ garbhaphalapradaṃ khalu rajaḥ syādanyathā niṣphalam | dṛṣṭe'smin guruṇā nijopacayage kuryānniṣekaṃ pumān | atyājye ca samūlabhe śubhaguṇe parvādikālojjhite

When the cool-shining one (the Moon) is in a place that is not an upacaya from the woman ⟨'s lagna⟩ and is aspected by Mars, the flow that has appeared is indeed one that gives the fruit of conception; otherwise it is fruitless. When this ⟨Moon⟩, gone to an upacaya of its own, is aspected by Jupiter, let the man perform the impregnation (niṣeka) — and ⟨let it be⟩ at a time not to be rejected, of auspicious quality, free of the parvan days and the like.

विभावरीषोडश भामिनीनामृतुद्रमाद्या ऋतुकालमाहुः । नाद्याश्चतस्रोऽत्र निषेकयोग्याः पराश्च युग्माः सुतदाः प्रशस्ताः

vibhāvarīṣoḍaśa bhāminīnāmṛtudramādyā ṛtukālamāhuḥ | nādyāścatasro'tra niṣekayogyāḥ parāśca yugmāḥ sutadāḥ praśastāḥ

They call the sixteen nights of women, beginning in order from the ṛtu ⟨the onset of the flow⟩, the ṛtukāla. The first four among these are not fit for impregnation; the later, even-numbered ones are commended as giving sons.

पुत्रोऽल्पायुर्दारिका वंशकर्ता वन्ध्या पुत्रः सुन्दरीशो विरूपा । श्रीमान् पापा धर्मशीलस्तथा श्रीःसर्वज्ञः स्यातुर्यरात्रात् क्रमेण

putro'lpāyurdārikā vaṃśakartā vandhyā putraḥ sundarīśo virūpā | śrīmān pāpā dharmaśīlastathā śrīḥsarvajñaḥ syāturyarātrāt krameṇa

From the fourth night onward, in order: a short-lived son; a girl; one who carries on the family line; a barren woman; a son who is lord of beautiful women; an ill-formed girl; a wealthy ⟨son⟩; a wicked ⟨girl⟩; one of righteous conduct; a fortunate ⟨girl⟩; and one who knows all.

अष्टमाष्टमगे सूर्ये निषेकर्क्षात्सुतोद्भवाः । अथवाऽधानलग्नात्तु त्रिकोणस्थे दिनेश्वरे

aṣṭamāṣṭamage sūrye niṣekarkṣātsutodbhavāḥ | athavā'dhānalagnāttu trikoṇasthe dineśvare

When the Sun is in the eighth from the eighth reckoned from the sign of impregnation (niṣeka), children are born; or ⟨likewise⟩ when the Sun stands in a trikoṇa from the ādhāna-lagna ⟨the lagna of conception⟩.

अस्मिन्नाधानलग्ने तु शुभदृष्टियुतेऽथवा । दीर्घायुर्भाग्यवान् जातः सर्वविद्यान्तमेष्यति

asminnādhānalagne tu śubhadṛṣṭiyute'thavā | dīrghāyurbhāgyavān jātaḥ sarvavidyāntameṣyati

But when this ādhāna-lagna is joined with or aspected by benefics, the one born is long-lived and fortunate, and will reach the end of all learning.

ओजर्क्षे पुरुषांशकेषु बलिभिर्लग्नार्कगुर्विन्दुभिः पुञ्जन्म प्रवदेत्समांशकगतैर्युग्मेषु तैर्योषितः । गुर्वर्कौ विषमे नरं शशिसितौ वक्रश्च युग्मे स्त्रियम् द्व्याङ्गस्था बुधवीक्षणाच्च यमलौ कुर्वन्ति पक्षे स्वके

ojarkṣe puruṣāṃśakeṣu balibhirlagnārkagurvindubhiḥ puñjanma pravadetsamāṃśakagatairyugmeṣu tairyoṣitaḥ | gurvarkau viṣame naraṃ śaśisitau vakraśca yugme striyam dvyāṅgasthā budhavīkṣaṇācca yamalau kurvanti pakṣe svake

When the lagna, the Sun, Jupiter and the Moon are strong and stand in an odd sign and in male aṃśas, one should declare a male birth; when those same are gone to even aṃśas and are in even signs, a female by them. Jupiter and the Sun in an odd ⟨sign give⟩ a man; the Moon, Venus and Mars (vakra) in an even one, a woman. Standing in two-bodied ⟨dual⟩ signs, and by the aspect of Mercury, they make twins, each on its own side.

विहाय लग्नं विषमर्क्षसंस्थः सौरोऽपि पुंजन्मकरो विलग्नात् । प्रोक्तग्रहाणामवलोक्य वीर्यं वाच्यः प्रसूतौ पुरुषोऽङ्गना वा

vihāya lagnaṃ viṣamarkṣasaṃsthaḥ sauro'pi puṃjanmakaro vilagnāt | proktagrahāṇāmavalokya vīryaṃ vācyaḥ prasūtau puruṣo'ṅganā vā

Leaving the lagna aside, Saturn too, standing in an odd sign reckoned from the lagna, causes a male birth. Having looked to the strength of the grahas named, one should declare at the delivery whether it is a man or a woman.

अन्योन्यं यदि पश्यतः शशिरवी यद्यार्किसौम्यावपि वक्रो वा समगं दिनेशमसमे चन्द्रोदयौ चेत्स्थितौ । युग्मौजर्क्षगतावपीन्दुशशिजौ भूम्यात्मजेनेक्षितौ पुंभागे सितलग्नशीतकिरणाः षट् क्लीबयोगास्त्विमे

anyonyaṃ yadi paśyataḥ śaśiravī yadyārkisaumyāvapi vakro vā samagaṃ dineśamasame candrodayau cetsthitau | yugmaujarkṣagatāvapīnduśaśijau bhūmyātmajenekṣitau puṃbhāge sitalagnaśītakiraṇāḥ ṣaṭ klībayogāstvime

If the Moon and the Sun aspect one another; if Saturn (ārki) and Mercury do so likewise; or if Mars (vakra) ⟨aspects⟩ the Sun standing in an even sign; if the Moon and the lagna are situated in an odd one; if the Moon and Mercury too, gone to an even and to an odd sign, are aspected by the earth's son (Mars); if Venus, the lagna and the cool-rayed one (the Moon) are in a male portion — these are the six yogas of a eunuch (klība).

युग्मे चन्द्रसितौ तथौजभवने स्युर्ज्ञारजीवोदयाः लग्नेन्दू नृनिरीक्षितौ च समगौ युग्मेषु वा प्राणिनः । कुर्युस्ते मिथुनं गृहोदयगतान्द्व्यंगांशकान्पश्यति स्वांशे ज्ञे त्रितयं ज्ञगांशकवशाद्युग्मं त्वमिश्रैः समम्

yugme candrasitau tathaujabhavane syurjñārajīvodayāḥ lagnendū nṛnirīkṣitau ca samagau yugmeṣu vā prāṇinaḥ | kuryuste mithunaṃ gṛhodayagatāndvyaṃgāṃśakānpaśyati svāṃśe jñe tritayaṃ jñagāṃśakavaśādyugmaṃ tvamiśraiḥ samam

The Moon and Venus in an even sign, and Mercury (jña), Mars (āra), Jupiter (jīva) and the lagna in an odd house; and the lagna and the Moon aspected by a male ⟨graha⟩ and gone to an even ⟨sign⟩, or ⟨standing⟩ in even signs — these make a couple of living beings. When Mercury, in his own aṃśa, aspects ⟨grahas⟩ gone to the rising house and to two-bodied aṃśas, ⟨declare⟩ three; by force of Mercury's aṃśa a pair — but with unmixed ⟨grahas⟩, alike ⟨in sex⟩.

धनुर्धरस्यान्त्यगते विलग्ने ग्रहैस्तदंशोपगतैर्बलिष्ठैः । ज्ञेनार्किणा वीर्ययुतेन दृष्टे सन्ति प्रभूता अपि कोशसंस्थाः

dhanurdharasyāntyagate vilagne grahaistadaṃśopagatairbaliṣṭhaiḥ | jñenārkiṇā vīryayutena dṛṣṭe santi prabhūtā api kośasaṃsthāḥ

When the lagna has gone to the last ⟨part⟩ of Sagittarius (dhanurdhara), with strong grahas standing in its aṃśa, and it is aspected by Mercury or by Saturn (ārki) possessed of strength — there are even many lodged in the womb (kośa).

द्विशरीरांशसंयुक्तान् ग्रहान् लग्नं च पश्यति । कन्यांशकगतश्चान्द्रिर्गर्भस्थं त्रितयं वदेत्

dviśarīrāṃśasaṃyuktān grahān lagnaṃ ca paśyati | kanyāṃśakagataścāndrirgarbhasthaṃ tritayaṃ vadet

⟨When⟩ the Moon's son (Mercury), gone to the navāṃśa of Virgo (kanyā), aspects the grahas joined to two-bodied ⟨dual⟩ aṃśas, and the lagna as well, one should declare three in the womb.

युग्मांशकस्तु कन्यैका द्वौ पुमांसौ च गर्भजाः । युग्मांशगान्विलग्नं च गर्भस्थाः पुरुषास्त्रयः

yugmāṃśakastu kanyaikā dvau pumāṃsau ca garbhajāḥ | yugmāṃśagānvilagnaṃ ca garbhasthāḥ puruṣāstrayaḥ

But ⟨when he is⟩ in an even aṃśa, one girl and two males are born of the womb. ⟨When he aspects those⟩ gone to even aṃśas, and the lagna, the ones in the womb are three males.

कन्यायुग्मांशकोपेतांस्तथा युग्मांशगो बुधः । कन्यानवांशकः सौम्यस्तिस्रो गर्भगताङ्गनाः

kanyāyugmāṃśakopetāṃstathā yugmāṃśago budhaḥ | kanyānavāṃśakaḥ saumyastisro garbhagatāṅganāḥ

Likewise Mercury, gone to an even aṃśa, ⟨aspecting those⟩ possessed of the aṃśas of Virgo and of even aṃśas, and the benefic ⟨Mercury⟩ being in the navāṃśa of Virgo — three women in the womb.

द्विस्वभावगतावर्कगुरू बुधनिरीक्षितौ । पुंयुग्मं कुरुतस्तद्वत् शशिशुक्रमहीसुताः

dvisvabhāvagatāvarkagurū budhanirīkṣitau | puṃyugmaṃ kurutastadvat śaśiśukramahīsutāḥ

The Sun and Jupiter gone to two-bodied ⟨dual⟩ signs and aspected by Mercury make a pair of males; and in the same way the Moon, Venus and Mars —

कुर्वन्ति स्त्रीयुगं तत्र बलाबलविशेषतः । स्त्रीनपुंसकदश्चान्द्रिः पुंनपुंसकदोऽर्कजः

kurvanti strīyugaṃ tatra balābalaviśeṣataḥ | strīnapuṃsakadaścāndriḥ puṃnapuṃsakado'rkajaḥ

— make a pair of women there, by the distinction of strength and weakness. Mercury ⟨the Moon's son⟩ gives a neuter of the female kind (strī-napuṃsaka); Saturn ⟨the Sun's son⟩ gives a neuter of the male kind (puṃ-napuṃsaka).

निषेककाले चन्द्रार्कावन्योन्यं यदि पश्यतः । तथैव चन्द्रमन्दौ वा क्लीबजन्मप्रदौ तथा

niṣekakāle candrārkāvanyonyaṃ yadi paśyataḥ | tathaiva candramandau vā klībajanmapradau tathā

If at the time of the seeding (niṣeka) the Moon and the Sun aspect one another, or in the same way the Moon and Saturn, these give a klība birth — the birth of a eunuch.

निषेके भ्रातृलग्नेशयोगे यमलसम्भवः । लग्नेशे भ्रातृपक्षस्थे स्वोच्चे वा यमलोद्भवः

niṣeke bhrātṛlagneśayoge yamalasambhavaḥ | lagneśe bhrātṛpakṣasthe svocce vā yamalodbhavaḥ

At the seeding, when the lord of the third ⟨the house of brothers⟩ and the lord of the lagna are joined, twins come to be. When the lord of the lagna stands in the quarter of the third, or in its own exaltation, twins are born.

षष्ठेशो देहसम्बन्धी बुधः षष्ठगतो यदि । बुधक्षेत्रे च जननं यस्य स स्त्रीनपुंसकः । बुधस्थानेन शनिना पुंनपुंसकता भवेत्

ṣaṣṭheśo dehasambandhī budhaḥ ṣaṣṭhagato yadi | budhakṣetre ca jananaṃ yasya sa strīnapuṃsakaḥ | budhasthānena śaninā puṃnapuṃsakatā bhavet

If the lord of the sixth is bound up with the deha ⟨the first house, the body⟩, if Mercury has gone to the sixth, and if a man's birth is in a sign of Mercury's ⟨that is, his lagna falls there⟩ — he is a strī-napuṃsaka, a neuter of the female kind. With Saturn in the place of Mercury ⟨that is, Saturn set where the foregoing named Mercury⟩, the condition of a puṃ-napuṃsaka comes about.

निषेकलग्नेशतृतीयनाथौ लग्नस्थितौ चेद्यमलोद्भवः स्यात् । तृतीयनाथेन युते निषेके भोगीशयुक्ते यदि पादजातः

niṣekalagneśatṛtīyanāthau lagnasthitau cedyamalodbhavaḥ syāt | tṛtīyanāthena yute niṣeke bhogīśayukte yadi pādajātaḥ

If the lord of the seeding-lagna and the lord of the third both stand in the lagna, the birth is of twins. When the seeding ⟨lagna⟩ is joined by the lord of the third and joined also with the lord of serpents ⟨Rāhu⟩, then the child is born feet foremost.

राहूदये लग्ननाथे कर्मस्थे पादपूर्वजः । सराहौ रन्ध्रपे लग्ने जातः स्यात् सर्पवेष्टितः

rāhūdaye lagnanāthe karmasthe pādapūrvajaḥ | sarāhau randhrape lagne jātaḥ syāt sarpaveṣṭitaḥ

With Rāhu at the rising and the lord of the lagna in the tenth ⟨karma⟩, the child is born feet foremost. When the lord of the eighth ⟨randhra⟩ stands in the lagna together with Rāhu, the one born is wrapped about by a serpent.

रन्ध्रेश्वरे पापयुते विलग्ने जातो नगैर्वेष्टितदेहवान्स्यात् । केन्द्रे सराहौ गुलिकेन युक्ते लग्नेश्वरे वा निधनेशयुक्ते

randhreśvare pāpayute vilagne jāto nagairveṣṭitadehavānsyāt | kendre sarāhau gulikena yukte lagneśvare vā nidhaneśayukte

When the lord of the eighth ⟨randhra⟩, joined by a malefic, is in the ascendant, the one born will have his body encircled ⟨by serpents⟩; so too when Rāhu together with Gulika stands in a kendra, or when the lord of the lagna is joined with the lord of the eighth ⟨nidhana⟩.

क्रूरग्रहाणां च दृगाणलग्ने जातो नगैर्वेष्टितदेहवान् स्यात् । लग्नत्रिभागेऽण्डजसर्पकोलास्तन्नाथयुक्तस्तु तथा त्रिभागः । शुभग्रहाणां च दृशा विहीने जातो नगैर्वेष्टितदेहवान् स्यात्

krūragrahāṇāṃ ca dṛgāṇalagne jāto nagairveṣṭitadehavān syāt | lagnatribhāge'ṇḍajasarpakolāstannāthayuktastu tathā tribhāgaḥ | śubhagrahāṇāṃ ca dṛśā vihīne jāto nagairveṣṭitadehavān syāt

And when the ascendant falls in a drekkāṇa of the malefic grahas, the one born will have his body encircled by serpents. When the third-part ⟨drekkāṇa⟩ of the lagna is one of the egg-born ⟨bird⟩, the serpent or the boar, and that third-part is joined with its own lord, then likewise. And when ⟨the ascendant⟩ is bereft of the aspect of the benefic grahas, the one born will have his body encircled by serpents.

शशांके पापलग्ने वा वृश्चिकेशत्रिभागगे । शुभैः स्वायस्थितैर्जातः सर्पस्तद्वेष्टितोऽपि वा

śaśāṃke pāpalagne vā vṛścikeśatribhāgage | śubhaiḥ svāyasthitairjātaḥ sarpastadveṣṭito'pi vā

When the Moon ⟨śaśāṅka⟩ is in a malefic lagna, or in the third-part of the lord of the Scorpion ⟨Mars⟩, while benefics stand in their own ⟨signs⟩ and in the eleventh ⟨āya⟩ — the one born is a serpent, or else is wrapped about by one.

चतुष्पादगते भानौ शेषैर्वीर्यसमन्वितैः । द्वितनुस्थैश्च यमलौ भवतः कोशवेष्टितौ

catuṣpādagate bhānau śeṣairvīryasamanvitaiḥ | dvitanusthaiśca yamalau bhavataḥ kośaveṣṭitau

When the Sun has gone to a four-footed sign, and the rest, endowed with strength, stand in two-bodied signs, twins are born, and they are wrapped in a caul.

छागसिंहवृषे लग्ने तत्स्थे सौरेऽथवा कुजे । राश्यंशसदृशे गात्रे जायतेनालवेष्टितः

chāgasiṃhavṛṣe lagne tatsthe saure'thavā kuje | rāśyaṃśasadṛśe gātre jāyatenālaveṣṭitaḥ

When the lagna is the Goat ⟨Aries⟩, the Lion ⟨Leo⟩ or the Bull ⟨Taurus⟩, and Saturn or Mars stands there, the child is born wrapped about by the cord — upon the limb that answers to the sign and its aṃśa.

लग्ने सपापे बहुपापदृष्टे राहुध्वजाभ्यां सहितेऽथवाऽत्र । पापग्रहाणां तु विलग्नभे वा जातो नरो नालविवेष्टिताङ्गः

lagne sapāpe bahupāpadṛṣṭe rāhudhvajābhyāṃ sahite'thavā'tra | pāpagrahāṇāṃ tu vilagnabhe vā jāto naro nālaviveṣṭitāṅgaḥ

When a malefic is in the ascendant and it is aspected by many malefics, or when it is joined here by Rāhu and the Banner ⟨Ketu⟩, or when the ascendant's sign belongs to the malefic grahas — the man born has his limbs wound about by the cord.

क्रूरान्तरे लग्नगते सराहौ लग्ने कुजे वासरनाथदृष्टे । लग्ने शनौ भूमिसुतेन दृष्टे जातो नरो नालविवेष्टिताङ्गः

krūrāntare lagnagate sarāhau lagne kuje vāsaranāthadṛṣṭe | lagne śanau bhūmisutena dṛṣṭe jāto naro nālaviveṣṭitāṅgaḥ

When the lagna stands between malefics; when Mars with Rāhu is in the lagna and it is aspected by the lord of the weekday; or when Saturn is in the lagna, aspected by the Earth's son ⟨Mars⟩ — the man born has his limbs wound about by the cord.

तत्काल इन्दुसहितो द्विरसांशको यस्तत्तुल्यराशिसहिते पुरतः शशाङ्के । यावानुदेति दिनरात्रिसमानभागस्तावद्गते दिननिशोः प्रवदन्ति जन्म

tatkāla indusahito dvirasāṃśako yastattulyarāśisahite purataḥ śaśāṅke | yāvānudeti dinarātrisamānabhāgastāvadgate dinaniśoḥ pravadanti janma

Whatever twelfth-part ⟨dvādaśāṃśa⟩ holds the Moon at that moment — and the Moon standing ahead in the sign that answers to it — then however much of it rises as the equal share of the day and of the night, by so much of the day or of the night gone by, they declare the birth ⟨to fall⟩.

उदयति मृदुभांशे सप्तमस्थे च मन्दे । यदि भवति निषेकः सूतिरब्दत्रयेण । शशिनि तु विधिरेष द्वादशाब्दैः प्रकुर्यात् । निगदितमिह चिन्त्यं सूतिकालेऽपि युक्त्या

udayati mṛdubhāṃśe saptamasthe ca mande | yadi bhavati niṣekaḥ sūtirabdatrayeṇa | śaśini tu vidhireṣa dvādaśābdaiḥ prakuryāt | nigaditamiha cintyaṃ sūtikāle'pi yuktyā

When an aṃśa of a soft asterism rises and Saturn stands in the seventh — if the seeding falls then, the birth comes after three years. But with the Moon ⟨so placed⟩, this same rule is to be worked with twelve years. What is declared here is to be weighed with reason at the time of birth also.

पितृकर्मेश्वरौ दुःस्थौ देहेशे बलसंयुते । विना सीमन्तकर्मादिजातः पुत्रो न संशयः । लाभे पापे पापगृहे न सीमन्तयुतो भवेत्

pitṛkarmeśvarau duḥsthau deheśe balasaṃyute | vinā sīmantakarmādijātaḥ putro na saṃśayaḥ | lābhe pāpe pāpagṛhe na sīmantayuto bhavet

When the lords of the ninth ⟨the father⟩ and of the tenth ⟨karma⟩ are ill-placed and the lord of the body ⟨the lagna⟩ is endowed with strength, the son is born without the sīmanta and the rites that follow it — of this there is no doubt. With a malefic in the eleventh ⟨lābha⟩ and in a malefic's house, he will not be one for whom the sīmanta was performed.

पितुर्जातः परोक्षस्य लग्नमिन्दावपश्यति । विदेशस्थस्य चरभे मध्याद्भ्रष्टे दिवाकरे

piturjātaḥ parokṣasya lagnamindāvapaśyati | videśasthasya carabhe madhyādbhraṣṭe divākare

When the Moon does not aspect the lagna, the child is born of a father who is absent, out of sight; when ⟨the lagna⟩ is in a movable sign and the Sun has fallen from the tenth ⟨the meridian⟩, of a father who is in a foreign land.

उदयस्थेऽथवा मन्दे कुजे वाऽस्तं समागते । स्थिते वाऽन्तः क्षपानाथे शशाङ्कसुतशुक्रयोः

udayasthe'thavā mande kuje vā'staṃ samāgate | sthite vā'ntaḥ kṣapānāthe śaśāṅkasutaśukrayoḥ

Or when Saturn stands at the rising, or Mars has come to the setting place ⟨the seventh⟩; or when the lord of the night ⟨the Moon⟩ stands between Mercury ⟨the Moon's son⟩ and Venus ⟨the same is to be declared⟩.

पितुरौरसः क्षेत्रजो वेति ज्ञपिका द्युचरस्थितिः । लग्ने वा यदि शीतांशौ शुभखेचरराशिगे । औरसोऽयं भवेज्जातो गुरुवर्गसमन्विते

pituraurasaḥ kṣetrajo veti jñapikā dyucarasthitiḥ | lagne vā yadi śītāṃśau śubhakhecararāśige | auraso'yaṃ bhavejjāto guruvargasamanvite

Whether he is the father's own-begotten ⟨aurasa⟩ or a kṣetraja — it is the standing of the sky-goers that makes it known. If the Moon ⟨the cold-rayed⟩ is in the lagna, or in the sign of a benefic sky-goer, and is furnished with Jupiter's varga, then the one born is an aurasa, a son of the father's own body.

जीवो न भौमसंदृष्टः स्ववर्गे चार्कचन्द्रमाः । क्षेत्रजोऽयं भवेज्जातः ससौम्यो वा बलान्वितः

jīvo na bhaumasaṃdṛṣṭaḥ svavarge cārkacandramāḥ | kṣetrajo'yaṃ bhavejjātaḥ sasaumyo vā balānvitaḥ

When Jupiter is not aspected by Mars, and the Sun and the Moon stand in ⟨Mars's⟩ own varga, the one born is a kṣetraja — begotten upon the wife by another; or when ⟨Mars⟩ is joined with a benefic and endowed with strength.

मन्दवर्गगते चन्द्रे मन्दयुक्ते तु पञ्चमे । भानुभार्गवसंदृष्टे पुत्रः पौनर्भवो भवेत्

mandavargagate candre mandayukte tu pañcame | bhānubhārgavasaṃdṛṣṭe putraḥ paunarbhavo bhavet

When the Moon has gone into Saturn's varga, and the fifth is joined by Saturn and aspected by the Sun and Venus, the son is a paunarbhava — born of a woman married a second time.

व्यये भास्करसंदृष्टे वर्गे भास्करचन्द्रयोः । चन्द्रसूर्ययुते वाऽपि कानीनोऽयं भवेन्नरः

vyaye bhāskarasaṃdṛṣṭe varge bhāskaracandrayoḥ | candrasūryayute vā'pi kānīno'yaṃ bhavennaraḥ

When the twelfth ⟨vyaya⟩ is aspected by the Sun, and ⟨the lagna⟩ is in a varga of the Sun and of the Moon, or else is joined by the Moon and the Sun — this man is a kānīna, the son a girl bore before her marriage.

चन्द्रदृष्टियुतो मान्दिर्भानुपुत्रसमन्वितः तद्वीक्षणयुतो वाऽपि दत्तपुत्रो भवेन्नरः । शन्यङ्गारकसंयुक्ते सप्तमे वाऽथ पञ्चमे अन्यैरवीक्षिते खेटैः कृत्रिमं तु विनिर्दिशेत्

candradṛṣṭiyuto māndirbhānuputrasamanvitaḥ tadvīkṣaṇayuto vā'pi dattaputro bhavennaraḥ | śanyaṅgārakasaṃyukte saptame vā'tha pañcame anyairavīkṣite kheṭaiḥ kṛtrimaṃ tu vinirdiśet

Māndi joined with or aspected by the Moon and accompanied by Saturn ⟨the Sun's son⟩, or joined with and aspected by him — the man is a datta, a son given away in adoption.

शन्यङ्गारकसंयुक्ते सप्तमे वाऽथ पञ्चमे। अन्यैरवीक्षिते खेटैः कृत्रिमं तु विनिर्दिशेत्

śanyaṅgārakasaṃyukte saptame vā'tha pañcame| anyairavīkṣite kheṭaiḥ kṛtrimaṃ tu vinirdiśet

When the seventh or else the fifth house is joined by Saturn and Mars and is not aspected by any other planet, one should declare the child to be an adopted one.

परस्परक्षेत्रगतौ तु होरारसातलेशौ यदि जन्मलग्नात् । लग्नेश्वरो वा हिबुकेश्वरो वा ध्वजाहियुक्तो जननं परेण

parasparakṣetragatau tu horārasātaleśau yadi janmalagnāt | lagneśvaro vā hibukeśvaro vā dhvajāhiyukto jananaṃ pareṇa

When the lord of the horā ⟨the ascendant⟩ and the lord of the rasātala ⟨the fourth⟩ stand in each other's signs, reckoned from the birth-lagna; or when the lord of the lagna, or the lord of the hibuka ⟨the fourth⟩, is joined with the Banner ⟨Ketu⟩ and the Serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩ — the begetting was by another man.

लग्नं शशाङ्कं सुरराजमन्त्री न वीक्षते नैकगृहस्थितौ वा । न जीववर्गेण युतौ तदानीं जातं वदेदन्यसमागमेन

lagnaṃ śaśāṅkaṃ surarājamantrī na vīkṣate naikagṛhasthitau vā | na jīvavargeṇa yutau tadānīṃ jātaṃ vadedanyasamāgamena

When the counsellor of the king of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ neither aspects the lagna and the Moon nor stands with them in one house, and when the two are not joined with Jupiter's varga — then one should declare the birth to be from union with another man.

स्वातीद्वितीया रविवारयुक्ता ससप्तमी सोमजरेवती च । सद्वादशीभानुसुतश्रविष्ठा चैतेषु जातः परतो वदन्ति

svātīdvitīyā ravivārayuktā sasaptamī somajarevatī ca | sadvādaśībhānusutaśraviṣṭhā caiteṣu jātaḥ parato vadanti

Svātī, the second tithi, joined with a Sunday; the seventh with the Moon's son's day ⟨Wednesday⟩ and Revatī; the twelfth with the Sun's son's day ⟨Saturday⟩ and Śraviṣṭhā — one born in these, they say, is another man's.

भद्राख्यतिथियुक्तेषु त्रिपादर्क्षान्वितेषु च । मन्दार्कभौमवारेषु जातमन्योद्भवं विदुः

bhadrākhyatithiyukteṣu tripādarkṣānviteṣu ca | mandārkabhaumavāreṣu jātamanyodbhavaṃ viduḥ

In births falling on the Bhadrā tithis, on the three-footed asterisms, and on the days of Saturn, the Sun and Mars, they know the child to have sprung from another man.

न लग्नमिन्दु च गुरुर्निरीक्षते न वा शशाङ्कं रविणा समागतम् । सपापकोऽर्केण युतोऽथवा शशी परेण जातं प्रवदन्ति निश्चयात्

na lagnamindu ca gururnirīkṣate na vā śaśāṅkaṃ raviṇā samāgatam | sapāpako'rkeṇa yuto'thavā śaśī pareṇa jātaṃ pravadanti niścayāt

When Jupiter aspects neither the lagna nor the Moon, or ⟨does not aspect⟩ the Moon that has come together with the Sun; or when the Moon, accompanied by a malefic, is joined with the Sun — they declare with certainty that the child was begotten by another ⟨man⟩.

गुरुक्षेत्रगते चन्द्रे तद्युक्ते चान्यराशिगे । तद्द्रेष्काणे तदंशे वा न परैर्जात इष्यते

gurukṣetragate candre tadyukte cānyarāśige | taddreṣkāṇe tadaṃśe vā na parairjāta iṣyate

When the Moon is in a sign of Jupiter's, or joined with him in another sign, or in his drekkāṇa or his navāṃśa, the child is not held to have been begotten by others.

क्रूरर्क्षगतावशोभनौ सूर्याद् द्यूननवात्मजस्थितौ । बद्धस्तु पिता विदेशगः स्वे वा राशिवशात्तथा पथि

krūrarkṣagatāvaśobhanau sūryād dyūnanavātmajasthitau | baddhastu pitā videśagaḥ sve vā rāśivaśāttathā pathi

⟨When⟩ the two malefics, ill-disposed and gone to cruel signs, stand in the 7th, the 9th, or the 5th from the Sun, the father is in bondage, or gone to a foreign land, or ⟨remains⟩ in his own ⟨place⟩ — and likewise on the road, according to the sign.

पूर्णे शशिनि स्वराशिगे सौम्ये लग्नगते शुभे सुखे । लग्ने जलजेऽस्तगेऽपि वा चन्द्रे पोतगता प्रसूयते

pūrṇe śaśini svarāśige saumye lagnagate śubhe sukhe | lagne jalaje'stage'pi vā candre potagatā prasūyate

When the Moon is full and in her own sign, Mercury in the lagna, and a benefic in the 4th; or when a water-born ⟨sign⟩ is in the lagna, or the Moon is in the 7th — she gives birth aboard a boat.

आप्योदयमाप्यगः शशी सम्पूर्णः समवेक्षतेऽथवा । मेषूरणबन्धुलग्नगः स्यात् सूतिः सलिले न संशयः

āpyodayamāpyagaḥ śaśī sampūrṇaḥ samavekṣate'thavā | meṣūraṇabandhulagnagaḥ syāt sūtiḥ salile na saṃśayaḥ

The full Moon, placed in a watery sign, aspects a watery rising ⟨sign⟩; or ⟨the Moon⟩ stands in the 10th (meṣūraṇa), the 4th, or the lagna — the birth is in water, there is no doubt.

उदयोडुपयोर्व्ययस्थिते गुप्त्यां पापनिरीक्षिते यमे । अलिकर्कियुते विलग्नगे सौरे शीतकरेक्षितेऽवटे

udayoḍupayorvyayasthite guptyāṃ pāpanirīkṣite yame | alikarkiyute vilagnage saure śītakarekṣite'vaṭe

When Saturn stands in the 12th from both the lagna and the Moon and is aspected by malefics, ⟨the birth is⟩ in a place of confinement. When Saturn is in the lagna, that lagna being Scorpio or Cancer, and is aspected by the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩, ⟨the birth is⟩ in a pit.

मन्देऽब्जगते विलग्नगे बुधसूर्येन्दुनिरीक्षिते क्रमात् । क्रीडाभवने सुरालये जननं चोषरभूमिषूदिशेत्

mande'bjagate vilagnage budhasūryendunirīkṣite kramāt | krīḍābhavane surālaye jananaṃ coṣarabhūmiṣūdiśet

When Saturn is in a watery ⟨sign⟩ and in the lagna, aspected respectively by Mercury, the Sun and the Moon, one should declare the birth to be in a pleasure-house, in a temple, and on barren salt ground.

नृलग्नगं प्रेक्ष्य कुजः श्मशाने रम्ये सितेन्दू गुरुरग्निहोत्रे । रविर्नरेन्द्रामरगोकुलेषु शिल्पालये ज्ञः प्रसवं करोति

nṛlagnagaṃ prekṣya kujaḥ śmaśāne ramye sitendū gururagnihotre | ravirnarendrāmaragokuleṣu śilpālaye jñaḥ prasavaṃ karoti

Aspecting ⟨the lagna⟩ when it stands in a human sign, Mars brings the birth about in a cremation ground; Venus and the Moon in a pleasant spot; Jupiter at the agnihotra ⟨fire-hall⟩; the Sun among kings, gods and cow-pens; Mercury in a craftsman's hall.

राश्यंशसमानगोचरे मार्गे जन्म चरे स्थिरे गृहे । स्वर्क्षांशगते स्वमन्दिरे बलयोगात्फलमंशकर्क्षयोः

rāśyaṃśasamānagocare mārge janma care sthire gṛhe | svarkṣāṃśagate svamandire balayogātphalamaṃśakarkṣayoḥ

When the sign and the navāṃśa are of the same course: in a movable ⟨sign⟩ the birth is on the road, in a fixed one in a house; when ⟨the significator⟩ occupies its own sign or its own navāṃśa, in one's own dwelling. The result is to be declared from the navāṃśa and the sign according to their strength.

आरार्कजयोस्त्रिकोणगे चन्द्रेऽस्ते च विसृज्यतेऽम्बया । दृष्टेऽमरराजमन्त्रिणा दीर्घायुः सुखभाक् च स स्मृतः

ārārkajayostrikoṇage candre'ste ca visṛjyate'mbayā | dṛṣṭe'mararājamantriṇā dīrghāyuḥ sukhabhāk ca sa smṛtaḥ

When the Moon stands in a trine from Mars and Saturn and is in the 7th, ⟨the child⟩ is cast off by its mother; but if it is aspected by the counsellor of the king of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩, he is held to be long-lived and to enjoy comfort.

पापेक्षिते तुहिनगावुदये कुजेऽस्ते त्यक्तो विनश्यति कुजार्कजयोस्तथाऽये । सौम्येऽपि पश्यति तथाविधहस्तमेति सौम्ये तरेषु परहस्तगतोऽप्यनायुः

pāpekṣite tuhinagāvudaye kuje'ste tyakto vinaśyati kujārkajayostathā'ye | saumye'pi paśyati tathāvidhahastameti saumye tareṣu parahastagato'pyanāyuḥ

When the Moon in the lagna is aspected by malefics and Mars is in the 7th, ⟨the child⟩ is abandoned and perishes; likewise when Mars and Saturn are in the 11th. If a benefic also aspects, he passes into the hand of such a one ⟨and lives⟩; but with those other than benefics ⟨aspecting⟩, though he passes into another's hands, he has no life.

पितृमातृगृहेषु तद्बलात्तरुशालादिषु नीचगतैः शुभैः । यदि नैकगतैश्च वीक्षितौ लग्नेन्दू विजने प्रसूयते

pitṛmātṛgṛheṣu tadbalāttaruśālādiṣu nīcagataiḥ śubhaiḥ | yadi naikagataiśca vīkṣitau lagnendū vijane prasūyate

⟨The birth is⟩ in the house of the father or of the mother, according to the strength of those ⟨significators⟩; among trees, in sheds and the like when the benefics are debilitated. And if the lagna and the Moon are aspected by no ⟨benefic⟩ so placed, the birth takes place in a solitary spot.

मन्दर्क्षांशे शशिनि हिबुके मन्ददृष्टेऽब्जगे वा तद्युक्ते वा तमसि शयनं नीचसंस्थैश्च भूमौ । यद्वद्राशिर्ब्रजति हरिजं गर्भमोक्षस्तु तद्वत्

mandarkṣāṃśe śaśini hibuke mandadṛṣṭe'bjage vā tadyukte vā tamasi śayanaṃ nīcasaṃsthaiśca bhūmau | yadvadrāśirbrajati harijaṃ garbhamokṣastu tadvat

When the Moon is in Saturn's sign or navāṃśa in the 4th (hibuka), or aspected by Saturn, or in a watery sign, or joined with him, the lying-in is in darkness; and with ⟨grahas⟩ debilitated, upon the ground. Just as the sign moves to the horizon (harija), so is the release of the fetus.

स्नेहः शशाङ्कादुदयाच्च वर्ती दीपोऽर्कयुक्तर्क्षवशाच्चराद्यः । द्वारं च तद्वास्तुनि केन्द्रसंस्थैर्ज्ञेयं ग्रहैर्वीर्यसमन्वितैर्वा

snehaḥ śaśāṅkādudayācca vartī dīpo'rkayuktarkṣavaśāccarādyaḥ | dvāraṃ ca tadvāstuni kendrasaṃsthairjñeyaṃ grahairvīryasamanvitairvā

The oil ⟨of the lamp is judged⟩ from the Moon, the wick from the rising ⟨sign⟩, the lamp itself, as movable and so on (cara-ādi), according to the sign the Sun occupies. And the door of that dwelling is to be discerned from the grahas standing in the kendras, or from those endowed with strength.

जीर्णं संस्कृतमर्कजे क्षितिसुते दग्धं नवं शीतगौ काष्ठाढ्यं सुदृढं रवौ शशिसुते चानेकशिल्प्युद्भवम् । रम्यं चित्रयुतं नवं च भृगुजे जीवे दृढं मन्दिरं चक्रस्थैस्तु यथोपदेशरचनां सामन्तपूर्वां वदेत्

jīrṇaṃ saṃskṛtamarkaje kṣitisute dagdhaṃ navaṃ śītagau kāṣṭhāḍhyaṃ sudṛḍhaṃ ravau śaśisute cānekaśilpyudbhavam | ramyaṃ citrayutaṃ navaṃ ca bhṛguje jīve dṛḍhaṃ mandiraṃ cakrasthaistu yathopadeśaracanāṃ sāmantapūrvāṃ vadet

With Saturn ⟨the house is⟩ old but repaired; with Mars, burnt; with the Moon, new; with the Sun, abounding in timber and very solid; with Mercury, the work of many craftsmen; with Venus, charming, adorned with paintings, and new; with Jupiter, a firm mansion. From the grahas standing in the chart one should describe its construction as taught, beginning with the neighbourhood.

मेषकुलीरतुलालिघटैः प्रागुत्तरतो गुरुसौम्यगृहेषु । पश्चिमतश्च वृषेण निवासो दक्षिणभागकरौ मृगसिंहौ

meṣakulīratulālighaṭaiḥ prāguttarato gurusaumyagṛheṣu | paścimataśca vṛṣeṇa nivāso dakṣiṇabhāgakarau mṛgasiṃhau

By Aries, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio and Aquarius ⟨the dwelling lies⟩ to the east, and in the signs of Jupiter and Mercury to the north; by Taurus the dwelling is to the west; and Capricorn and Leo make it in the southern quarter.

प्राच्यादिगृहे क्रियादयो द्वौ द्वौ कोणगता द्विमूर्त्तयः । शय्यास्वपि वास्तुवद्वदेत् पादैः षट्त्रिनवान्त्यसंस्थितैः

prācyādigṛhe kriyādayo dvau dvau koṇagatā dvimūrttayaḥ | śayyāsvapi vāstuvadvadet pādaiḥ ṣaṭtrinavāntyasaṃsthitaiḥ

In the chambers beginning from the east ⟨are set⟩ Aries and the rest, two by two; the dual-bodied signs occupy the corners. Of beds too one should speak as of dwellings, by the legs ⟨of the bed⟩ set in the 6th, the 3rd, the 9th and the last.

लग्नचन्द्रान्तरगतैर्ग्रहैः स्युरुपसूतिकाः । बहिरन्तश्च चक्रार्द्धे दृश्यादृश्येऽन्यथा परे

lagnacandrāntaragatairgrahaiḥ syurupasūtikāḥ | bahirantaśca cakrārddhe dṛśyādṛśye'nyathā pare

From the grahas standing between the lagna and the Moon ⟨are known⟩ the women attending the birth; ⟨they are⟩ outside and inside according to the half of the chart — the visible and the invisible ⟨halves⟩. Others hold it the other way round (anyathā).

लग्ननवांशपतुल्यतनुः स्याद्वीर्ययुतग्रहतुल्यतनुर्वा । चन्द्रसमेतनवांशपवर्णः कादिविलग्नविभक्तभगात्रः

lagnanavāṃśapatulyatanuḥ syādvīryayutagrahatulyatanurvā | candrasametanavāṃśapavarṇaḥ kādivilagnavibhaktabhagātraḥ

The body is like that of the lord of the lagna's navāṃśa, or like that of the graha endowed with strength; the complexion (varṇa) is that of the lord of the navāṃśa the Moon occupies. The limbs of his body are apportioned among the signs from the lagna onward, beginning with the head.

कन्दृक्श्रोत्रनसाकपोलहनवो वक्त्रं च होरादयस्ते कण्ठांसकबाहुपार्श्वहृदयक्रोडानि नाभिस्ततः । बस्तिः शिश्नगुदे ततश्च वृषणावूरू ततो जानुनी जङ्घाङ्घ्रीत्युभयत्र वाममुदितैर्द्रेक्काणभागैस्त्रिधा

kandṛkśrotranasākapolahanavo vaktraṃ ca horādayaste kaṇṭhāṃsakabāhupārśvahṛdayakroḍāni nābhistataḥ | bastiḥ śiśnagude tataśca vṛṣaṇāvūrū tato jānunī jaṅghāṅghrītyubhayatra vāmamuditairdrekkāṇabhāgaistridhā

The head, the eyes, the ears, the nose, the cheeks, the jaws, and the mouth — these are the horā and the rest; then the throat, the shoulders, the arms, the sides, the heart and the belly, and after that the navel; then the bladder, the penis and the anus, then the testicles, the thighs, then the knees, the shanks and the feet — thus on both sides (ubhayatra), threefold by the drekkāṇa divisions, the left ⟨side⟩ being shown by the risen ⟨divisions⟩ (vāmam uditaiḥ).

तस्मिन्पापयुते व्रणं शुभयुते दृष्टे च लक्ष्मादिशेत् स्वर्क्षांशे स्थिरसंयुते च सहजः स्यादन्यथाऽगन्तुकः । मन्देऽश्मानिलजोऽग्निशस्त्रविषजो भौमे बुधे भूभवः सूर्ये काष्ठचतुष्पदेन हिमगौ शृङ्ग्यब्जजोऽन्यैः शुभम्

tasminpāpayute vraṇaṃ śubhayute dṛṣṭe ca lakṣmādiśet svarkṣāṃśe sthirasaṃyute ca sahajaḥ syādanyathā'gantukaḥ | mande'śmānilajo'gniśastraviṣajo bhaume budhe bhūbhavaḥ sūrye kāṣṭhacatuṣpadena himagau śṛṅgyabjajo'nyaiḥ śubham

When that ⟨place⟩ is joined with a malefic, declare a wound; when joined with or aspected by a benefic, a mark. In its own sign or navāṃśa, and joined with a fixed ⟨sign⟩, it is congenital; otherwise it is acquired. With Saturn it is born of stone and wind; with Mars, of fire, weapon or poison; with Mercury it is earth-born; with the Sun, by wood or by a four-footed beast; with the Moon, by a horned ⟨animal⟩ or a water-creature; by the others it is auspicious.

समनुपतिता यस्मिन् भागे त्रयः सबुधा ग्रहा भवति नियमात्तस्यावाप्तिः शुभेष्वशुभेषु वा । व्रणकृदशुभः षष्ठे देहे तनोर्भसमाश्रिते तिलकमशकृद्दृष्टः सौम्यैर्युतश्च स लक्ष्मवान्

samanupatitā yasmin bhāge trayaḥ sabudhā grahā bhavati niyamāttasyāvāptiḥ śubheṣvaśubheṣu vā | vraṇakṛdaśubhaḥ ṣaṣṭhe dehe tanorbhasamāśrite tilakamaśakṛddṛṣṭaḥ saumyairyutaśca sa lakṣmavān

In whatever division three grahas together with Mercury fall together, the attainment of that thing follows of necessity, whether among auspicious matters or inauspicious. A malefic in the 6th, or occupying the sign of the body, makes a wound upon the body; but aspected by benefics and joined with them it makes a tilaka-spot or a mole — such a one bears a mark.

वियोनिजन्मविज्ञानं निषेकोदयजं फलम् । जन्मकालपरिज्ञानं यत्तदाचार्यभाषितम्

viyonijanmavijñānaṃ niṣekodayajaṃ phalam | janmakālaparijñānaṃ yattadācāryabhāṣitam

The knowledge of birth in a non-human womb, the fruit that arises from the conception and from the rising ⟨sign⟩, and the full understanding of the time of birth — whatever ⟨has been said here⟩, that is what the ācāryas have declared.

आद्वादशाब्दान्तरयोनिजन्मनामायुष्कला निश्चयितुं न शक्यते । मात्रा च पित्रा कृतपापकर्मणा बालग्रहैर्नाशमुपैति बालकः

ādvādaśābdāntarayonijanmanāmāyuṣkalā niścayituṃ na śakyate | mātrā ca pitrā kṛtapāpakarmaṇā bālagrahairnāśamupaiti bālakaḥ

For those born of the womb, up to the end of the twelfth year the measure of life cannot be determined ⟨with certainty⟩. Through the sinful deeds done by the mother and by the father, and through the bāla-grahas ⟨the seizers of children⟩, the child meets destruction.

आद्ये चतुष्के जननीकृताघैर्मध्ये तु पित्रार्जितपापसङ्घैः । बालस्तदन्त्यासु चतुः समासु स्वकीयदोषैः समुपैति नाशम्

ādye catuṣke jananīkṛtāghairmadhye tu pitrārjitapāpasaṅghaiḥ | bālastadantyāsu catuḥ samāsu svakīyadoṣaiḥ samupaiti nāśam

In the first tetrad ⟨of years the child perishes⟩ through the sins committed by the mother; in the middle ⟨tetrad⟩ through the sins earned by the father; and in the last four years the child meets destruction through his own faults.

अष्टौ बालारिष्टमादौ नराणां योगारिष्टं प्राहुराविंशतिः स्यात् । अल्पं चाद्वात्रिंशतान्मध्यमायुरासप्तत्याः पूर्णमायुः शतान्तम्

aṣṭau bālāriṣṭamādau narāṇāṃ yogāriṣṭaṃ prāhurāviṃśatiḥ syāt | alpaṃ cādvātriṃśatānmadhyamāyurāsaptatyāḥ pūrṇamāyuḥ śatāntam

For men the first eight ⟨years⟩ are bālāriṣṭa ⟨the peril of childhood⟩; up to twenty, they say, is yogāriṣṭa. Short life ⟨runs⟩ to thirty-two, middling life to seventy, and full life to the end of a hundred.

विलग्नयातस्त्वपि देवमन्त्री विनाशरिःफारिगते शशाङ्के । विलोकिते पापवियच्चरेण विभानुना मृत्युमुपैति ग्र....ः

vilagnayātastvapi devamantrī vināśariḥphārigate śaśāṅke | vilokite pāpaviyaccareṇa vibhānunā mṛtyumupaiti gra....ḥ

Even though Jupiter ⟨the counsellor of the gods⟩ is in the lagna, if the Moon has gone to the 8th (vināśa), the 12th (riḥpha) or the 6th (ari) and is aspected by a malefic sky-goer bereft of light, then ⟨…⟩ meets death.

गण्डान्ततारासहिते मृगाङ्के पापेक्षिते पापसमन्विते वा । बालो लयं याति समृत्युभागे चन्द्रे तथा पापनिरीक्षिते वा

gaṇḍāntatārāsahite mṛgāṅke pāpekṣite pāpasamanvite vā | bālo layaṃ yāti samṛtyubhāge candre tathā pāpanirīkṣite vā

When the Moon ⟨the deer-marked⟩ stands in a gaṇḍānta star, aspected by a malefic or joined with a malefic, the child perishes; and likewise when the Moon is in a mṛtyu-bhāga ⟨a death-degree⟩ and aspected by a malefic.

ताताम्बिकासोदरमातुलाश्च मातामही मातृपिता च बालः । सूर्यादिकैः पञ्चमधर्मयातैः क्रूरर्क्षगैराशु हताः क्रमेण

tātāmbikāsodaramātulāśca mātāmahī mātṛpitā ca bālaḥ | sūryādikaiḥ pañcamadharmayātaiḥ krūrarkṣagairāśu hatāḥ krameṇa

Father, mother, uterine brother, maternal uncle, the maternal grandmother, the mother's father and the child ⟨himself⟩ — these, by the Sun and the rest when those have gone to the 5th and to the 9th (dharma) and stand in the signs of malefics, are swiftly destroyed, each in his own order.

रसातलस्थौ यदि भानुचन्द्रौ शनिः स्मरस्थो मरणाय मातुः । यदा यदा क्रूरखगो विलग्नादरातिगः सोदरनाशहेतुः

rasātalasthau yadi bhānucandrau śaniḥ smarastho maraṇāya mātuḥ | yadā yadā krūrakhago vilagnādarātigaḥ sodaranāśahetuḥ

If the Sun and the Moon are in the 4th (rasātala) and Saturn is in the 7th (smara), that is for the death of the mother. And whenever a malefic sky-goer stands in the 6th (arāti) from the lagna, it is the cause of the destruction of a uterine brother.

क्रूरेक्षितौ चन्द्रविलग्नराशी सौम्यग्रहैर्वीक्षणयोगहीनौ । केन्द्रच्युतो यद्यमरेशमन्त्री जातस्य माता समुपैति नाशम्

krūrekṣitau candravilagnarāśī saumyagrahairvīkṣaṇayogahīnau | kendracyuto yadyamareśamantrī jātasya mātā samupaiti nāśam

If the rāśis of the Moon and of the lagna are aspected by malefics and are without the aspect and the conjunction of benefic grahas, and if Jupiter ⟨the counsellor of the lord of the immortals⟩ has fallen away from a kendra, the native's mother meets destruction.

सभानुजे शीतकरे विलग्नाद् दिवाकरे रिःफगृहोपयाते । धरासुते बन्धुगते तदानीं विपद्यते तज्जननी सगर्भा

sabhānuje śītakare vilagnād divākare riḥphagṛhopayāte | dharāsute bandhugate tadānīṃ vipadyate tajjananī sagarbhā

When the Moon ⟨the cool-rayed⟩ is joined with Saturn ⟨the Sun's son⟩, the Sun has gone to the 12th house (riḥpha) from the lagna, and Mars is in the 4th (bandhu), then at that time his mother perishes with the child in her womb.

विलग्नचन्द्रौ शुभदृक्विहीनावशोभनव्योमचरान्तरस्थौ । विनाशमेति प्रमदा सगर्भा वदन्ति सर्वे युगपत् पृथग्वा

vilagnacandrau śubhadṛkvihīnāvaśobhanavyomacarāntarasthau | vināśameti pramadā sagarbhā vadanti sarve yugapat pṛthagvā

When the lagna and the Moon are bereft of benefic aspect and stand hemmed between inauspicious sky-goers, the woman perishes with the child in her womb — so all declare, whether ⟨the two conditions⟩ occur together or separately.

षष्ठावसानाष्टमभावगेषु क्रूरेषु सौम्यग्रहवर्जितेषु । पापान्तरस्थे भृगुजे गुरौ वा नारी सपुत्रा म्रियते तु सद्यः

ṣaṣṭhāvasānāṣṭamabhāvageṣu krūreṣu saumyagrahavarjiteṣu | pāpāntarasthe bhṛguje gurau vā nārī saputrā mriyate tu sadyaḥ

When malefics occupy the 6th, the 12th (avasāna) and the 8th houses and are unaccompanied by benefic grahas, and Venus or Jupiter is hemmed between malefics, the woman dies at once, and her child with her.

लग्नास्तयातौ यदि पापखेचरौ शुभैरयुक्तौ शुभदृष्टिवर्जितौ । शस्त्रेण मृत्युं समुपैति गर्भिणी मासाधिपो नष्टकरो यदा वदेत्

lagnāstayātau yadi pāpakhecarau śubhairayuktau śubhadṛṣṭivarjitau | śastreṇa mṛtyuṃ samupaiti garbhiṇī māsādhipo naṣṭakaro yadā vadet

If malefic sky-goers occupy the lagna and the 7th (asta), unjoined by benefics and devoid of benefic aspect, the pregnant woman meets death by a weapon. One should declare this when the lord of the ⟨gestational⟩ month is an agent of destruction.

चन्द्राच्चतुर्थोपगतैरसद्भिर्वा नस्थितैः शोभनदृष्टिमुक्तैः । व्यापारगैर्वा यदि वासरेशाज्जातस्य माता निधनं प्रयाति

candrāccaturthopagatairasadbhirvā nasthitaiḥ śobhanadṛṣṭimuktaiḥ | vyāpāragairvā yadi vāsareśājjātasya mātā nidhanaṃ prayāti

By malefics gone to the 4th from the Moon, or standing in ⟨…⟩ free of benefic aspect, or gone to the 10th (vyāpāra) — or if ⟨reckoned⟩ from the Sun ⟨the lord of the day⟩ — the native's mother goes to her death.

शुक्राद्रवौ विक्रमगे बलाढ्ये मन्देक्षिते मन्दसमन्विते वा । क्षीणे शशाङ्के यदि वा सपापे माता सपुत्रा म्रियतेऽचिरेण

śukrādravau vikramage balāḍhye mandekṣite mandasamanvite vā | kṣīṇe śaśāṅke yadi vā sapāpe mātā saputrā mriyate'cireṇa

When the Sun stands in the 3rd (vikrama) from Venus and is rich in strength, aspected by Saturn or joined with Saturn — or if the waning Moon is with a malefic — the mother dies before long, and her child with her.

लग्नादिने वाऽष्टमगे धराजे पापेक्षिते सौम्यदृशा विहीने । ताराधिपे वृद्धिकलाविहीने माता कृतान्तस्य पदं समेति

lagnādine vā'ṣṭamage dharāje pāpekṣite saumyadṛśā vihīne | tārādhipe vṛddhikalāvihīne mātā kṛtāntasya padaṃ sameti

When the Sun (ina) or Mars is in the 8th from the lagna, aspected by a malefic and without benefic aspect, and the Moon ⟨the lord of the stars⟩ is void of its waxing digits, the mother goes to the abode of Kṛtānta ⟨Yama, the Ender⟩.

शुक्रात् कुजेऽहनि तपः सुतराशियाते चन्द्रात्त्रिकोणगृहगे रविजे रजन्याम् । पापेक्षिते च शुभयोगदृशा विहीने नाशं समेति जननी विबले शशाङ्के

śukrāt kuje'hani tapaḥ sutarāśiyāte candrāttrikoṇagṛhage ravije rajanyām | pāpekṣite ca śubhayogadṛśā vihīne nāśaṃ sameti jananī vibale śaśāṅke

By day, when Mars stands in the 9th (tapas) or the 5th (suta) sign from Venus; by night, when Saturn ⟨the Sun's son⟩ occupies a trikoṇa house from the Moon — aspected by a malefic and devoid of benefic conjunction and aspect — the mother meets destruction, the Moon being weak.

कललघनाङ्कुरास्थिचर्माङ्गजचेतनताः सितकुजजीवरविचन्द्रार्किबुधाः परतः । उदयकुजजीवरविचन्द्रार्किंबुधाः गदिता वदन्ति शुभाशुभं च मासाधिपतेः सदृशम्

kalalaghanāṅkurāsthicarmāṅgajacetanatāḥ sitakujajīvaravicandrārkibudhāḥ parataḥ | udayakujajīvaravicandrārkiṃbudhāḥ gaditā vadanti śubhāśubhaṃ ca māsādhipateḥ sadṛśam

Kalala ⟨the fluid embryo⟩, ghana ⟨the solid mass⟩, aṅkura ⟨the sprout⟩, bone, skin, body-hair (aṅgaja) and consciousness — ⟨their months belong to⟩ Venus, Mars, Jupiter, the Sun, the Moon, Saturn and Mercury. Thereafter ⟨are named⟩ the ascendant (udaya), Mars, Jupiter, the Sun, the Moon, Saturn and Mercury: so they are declared. And ⟨the knowing⟩ pronounce the auspicious and the inauspicious in accordance with the lord of the month.

शशाङ्कलग्नोपगतैः शुभग्रहैस्त्रिकोणजायार्थसुखास्पदस्थितैः । तृतीयलाभर्क्षगतैश्च पापकैः सुखी च गर्भो रविणा निरीक्षितः

śaśāṅkalagnopagataiḥ śubhagrahaistrikoṇajāyārthasukhāspadasthitaiḥ | tṛtīyalābharkṣagataiśca pāpakaiḥ sukhī ca garbho raviṇā nirīkṣitaḥ

When benefic grahas occupy the Moon and the lagna, or stand in a trikoṇa, the 7th (jāyā), the 2nd (artha), the 4th (sukha) or the 10th (āspada), and malefics occupy the signs of the 3rd and the 11th (lābha), the foetus is at ease, being aspected by the Sun.

व्ययस्थितेऽर्के ससुते विलग्नादपि क्षयेन्दौ मदनोपयाते । पितुर्वियोगं प्रवदन्ति सद्यः शुभेक्षिते तु त्रिभिरब्दमानैः

vyayasthite'rke sasute vilagnādapi kṣayendau madanopayāte | piturviyogaṃ pravadanti sadyaḥ śubhekṣite tu tribhirabdamānaiḥ

When the Sun, together with his son ⟨Saturn⟩, is in the 12th (vyaya) from the lagna, and the waning Moon has gone to the 7th (madana), they declare separation from the father at once; but if ⟨these are⟩ aspected by a benefic, then by a measure of three years.

चरोपगे चन्द्रमसि क्षपायां बुधेक्षिते दूरदिशं प्रयातः । चरे शनौ भानुयुते निशायां विदेशगो याति पिता विनाशम्

caropage candramasi kṣapāyāṃ budhekṣite dūradiśaṃ prayātaḥ | care śanau bhānuyute niśāyāṃ videśago yāti pitā vināśam

When the Moon is in a movable sign by night and aspected by Mercury, ⟨the father⟩ has gone to a distant quarter; when Saturn is in a movable sign joined with the Sun by night, the father, being abroad, goes to his destruction.

क्षीणे शशिन्युदयगे यदि कण्टकस्थे पापेऽथवा निधनगे म्रियतेऽथ बालः । रन्ध्रारिगैरशुभखेटदृशा समेतैः सौम्यैः कृतान्तनगरं समुपैति मासात्

kṣīṇe śaśinyudayage yadi kaṇṭakasthe pāpe'thavā nidhanage mriyate'tha bālaḥ | randhrārigairaśubhakheṭadṛśā sametaiḥ saumyaiḥ kṛtāntanagaraṃ samupaiti māsāt

When the waning Moon is in the ascendant and a malefic is in a kendra (kaṇṭaka) or in the 8th (nidhana), the child dies. When benefics stand in the 8th (randhra) and the 6th (ari) and carry the aspect of inauspicious grahas, ⟨the child⟩ reaches the city of Kṛtānta ⟨Yama⟩ within a month.

एकत्र मन्दावनिनन्दनार्का रन्ध्रस्थिता वा रिपुराशियाताः । सौम्यैरयुक्ता अविलोकितास्ते जातस्य सद्यो मरणप्रदाः स्युः

ekatra mandāvaninandanārkā randhrasthitā vā ripurāśiyātāḥ | saumyairayuktā avilokitāste jātasya sadyo maraṇapradāḥ syuḥ

Saturn, Mars ⟨the earth's son⟩ and the Sun in one place, or placed in the 8th (randhra), or gone to the 6th (ripu) sign — unjoined by benefics and unaspected ⟨by them⟩ — these become givers of immediate death to the native.

चन्द्रांशे सप्तमे भौमे सौम्यदृष्टिविवर्जिते । सप्तसप्ततितारायामुपैति मरणं शिशुः

candrāṃśe saptame bhaume saumyadṛṣṭivivarjite | saptasaptatitārāyāmupaiti maraṇaṃ śiśuḥ

When Mars is in the 7th from the Moon's aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ and is deprived of benefic aspect, the infant meets death in the seventy-seventh star (tārā).

मन्दावनिजमार्तण्डैः पुत्रस्थानसमन्वितैः । सप्तसप्ततिनक्षत्रे जातस्य मरणं वदेत्

mandāvanijamārtaṇḍaiḥ putrasthānasamanvitaiḥ | saptasaptatinakṣatre jātasya maraṇaṃ vadet

When Saturn, Mars ⟨the earth-born⟩ and the Sun ⟨Mārtaṇḍa⟩ together occupy the house of sons ⟨the 5th⟩, one should declare the native's death in the seventy-seventh nakṣatra.

धरासुते चन्द्रनवांशकस्थे लग्नांशके वा न च जीवदृष्टे । सुधाकरे नन्दनराशियाते समेति याम्यं पदमाशु बालः

dharāsute candranavāṃśakasthe lagnāṃśake vā na ca jīvadṛṣṭe | sudhākare nandanarāśiyāte sameti yāmyaṃ padamāśu bālaḥ

When Mars ⟨the earth's son⟩ is in the navāṃśa of the Moon, or in that of the lagna, and is not aspected by Jupiter, and the Moon ⟨the nectar-maker⟩ has gone to the 5th sign (nandana), the child swiftly attains the southern abode ⟨of Yama⟩.

नीचं गते लग्नपतौ विलग्नान्नाशं गते वा रविजे तथाऽस्ते । जातो मृतप्रायकलेवरः सन्कृच्छ्रेण वैवस्वतलोकमेति

nīcaṃ gate lagnapatau vilagnānnāśaṃ gate vā ravije tathā'ste | jāto mṛtaprāyakalevaraḥ sankṛcchreṇa vaivasvatalokameti

When the lord of the lagna has gone to its debilitation, or Saturn ⟨the Sun's son⟩ has gone to the 8th (nāśa) from the lagna, and likewise to the 7th (asta), the one born, his body all but dead, goes with pain to the world of Vaivasvata ⟨Yama⟩.

अपोक्लिमस्थानगता न भोगा विधूतवीर्या यदि भानुमुख्याः । मासद्वयं तस्य ऋतुत्रयं वा जातस्य चायुः कथयन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

apoklimasthānagatā na bhogā vidhūtavīryā yadi bhānumukhyāḥ | māsadvayaṃ tasya ṛtutrayaṃ vā jātasya cāyuḥ kathayanti tajjñāḥ

If the sky-goers headed by the Sun have gone to the apoklima houses and their vigour is shaken off, those who know this declare the life of that native to be two months, or three seasons ⟨six months⟩.

लग्नारिरन्ध्रव्ययगे शशाङ्के पापेन दृष्टे शुभदृष्टिहीने । केन्द्रेषु सौम्यग्रहवर्जितेषु प्राणैर्वियोगं व्रजति प्रजातः

lagnārirandhravyayage śaśāṅke pāpena dṛṣṭe śubhadṛṣṭihīne | kendreṣu saumyagrahavarjiteṣu prāṇairviyogaṃ vrajati prajātaḥ

When the Moon is in the lagna, the 6th (ari), the 8th (randhra) or the 12th (vyaya), aspected by a malefic and without benefic aspect, and the kendras are void of benefic grahas, the one born goes to separation from his life-breaths.

सौरे मदस्थे यदि वा विलग्ने जलोदयेऽब्जे यदि कीटगे वा । सौम्येषु केन्द्रोपगतेषु सद्यो जातस्य नाशं यवनोपदिष्टम्

saure madasthe yadi vā vilagne jalodaye'bje yadi kīṭage vā | saumyeṣu kendropagateṣu sadyo jātasya nāśaṃ yavanopadiṣṭam

If Saturn stands in the 7th house (mada), or in the ascendant — in the water-rising ⟨sign⟩ Cancer, or in Scorpio — while the benefics occupy the kendras, the immediate destruction of the native has been taught by Yavana.

भौमक्षेत्रगते जीवे नीचराशिगतेऽथवा । सन्ध्यात्रये च सञ्जातो मासान्मृत्युमुपैति सः

bhaumakṣetragate jīve nīcarāśigate'thavā | sandhyātraye ca sañjāto māsānmṛtyumupaiti saḥ

When Jupiter has gone to a house of Mars ⟨Aries or Scorpio⟩, or else to his sign of debilitation ⟨Capricorn⟩, and ⟨the child⟩ is born at one of the three sandhyās, he meets death within a month.

रन्ध्रे धरासूनुदिनेशसौरा जातस्तु मृत्युं समुपैति मासात् । केतुस्तु यस्मिन्नुदितोऽत्र जातो मासद्वयेनैव यमं प्रयाति

randhre dharāsūnudineśasaurā jātastu mṛtyuṃ samupaiti māsāt | ketustu yasminnudito'tra jāto māsadvayenaiva yamaṃ prayāti

With Mars, the Sun and Saturn in the 8th house (randhra), the native meets death within a month. And he who is born ⟨in a lagna⟩ in which Ketu has risen goes to Yama in but two months.

पापावुदयास्तगतौ क्रूरेण युतश्च शशी । दृष्टश्च शुभैर्न यदा मृत्युश्च भवेदचिरात्

pāpāvudayāstagatau krūreṇa yutaśca śaśī | dṛṣṭaśca śubhairna yadā mṛtyuśca bhavedacirāt

When two malefics occupy the rising and the setting ⟨the 1st and the 7th⟩, and the Moon is joined with a malefic and is not aspected by benefics, death comes before long.

क्षीणे हिमगौ व्ययगे पापैरुदयाष्टमगैः । केन्द्रेषु शुभाश्च न चेत् क्षिप्रं निधनं प्रवदेत्

kṣīṇe himagau vyayage pāpairudayāṣṭamagaiḥ | kendreṣu śubhāśca na cet kṣipraṃ nidhanaṃ pravadet

When the waning Moon is in the 12th (vyaya), with malefics in the ascendant and the 8th, and if benefics are not in the kendras, one should declare death quickly.

क्रूरेण संयुतः शशी स्मरान्त्यमृत्युलग्नगः । कण्टकाद्वहिःशुभैरवीक्षितश्च मृत्युदः

krūreṇa saṃyutaḥ śaśī smarāntyamṛtyulagnagaḥ | kaṇṭakādvahiḥśubhairavīkṣitaśca mṛtyudaḥ

The Moon, joined with a malefic and standing in the 7th (smara), the 12th (antya), the 8th (mṛtyu) or the ascendant, and unaspected by benefics ⟨standing⟩ outside the kendras (kaṇṭaka), gives death.

शशिन्यरिविनाशगे निधनमाशु पापेक्षिते । शुभैरथ समाष्टकं दलमतश्च मिश्रेक्षिते । असद्भिरवलोकिते बलिभिरत्र मासं शुभे कलत्रसहिते च पापविजिते विलग्नाधिपे

śaśinyarivināśage nidhanamāśu pāpekṣite | śubhairatha samāṣṭakaṃ dalamataśca miśrekṣite | asadbhiravalokite balibhiratra māsaṃ śubhe kalatrasahite ca pāpavijite vilagnādhipe

When the Moon is in the 6th (ari) or the 8th (vināśa) and aspected by malefics, death soon; but ⟨aspected⟩ by benefics, a set of eight years; and half of that ⟨four⟩ when the aspect is mixed. When it is looked upon here by strong malefics, a month. And when the lord of the ascendant, ⟨itself⟩ a benefic, is joined with the 7th (kalatra) and is vanquished by malefics ⟨…⟩.

अशुभसहिते ग्रस्ते चन्द्रे कुजे निधनाश्रिते जननिसुतयोर्मृत्युर्लग्ने रवौ तु सशस्त्रजः । उदयति रवौ शीतांशौ वा त्रिकोणविनाशगैर्निधनमशुभैर्वीर्योपेतैः शुभैरयुतेक्षिते

aśubhasahite graste candre kuje nidhanāśrite jananisutayormṛtyurlagne ravau tu saśastrajaḥ | udayati ravau śītāṃśau vā trikoṇavināśagairnidhanamaśubhairvīryopetaiḥ śubhairayutekṣite

When the Moon, joined with a malefic, is eclipsed and Mars occupies the 8th (nidhana), ⟨there is⟩ the death of the mother and of the son; but with the Sun in the ascendant, that ⟨death⟩ is weapon-born. When the Sun, or the Moon, is rising, neither joined with nor aspected by benefics, while malefics possessed of strength occupy the trikoṇas and the 8th (vināśa) — death.

असितरविशशाङ्कभूमिजैर्व्ययनवमोदयनैधनाश्रितैः । भवति मरणमाशु देहिनां यदि बलिना गुरुणा न वीक्षितैः

asitaraviśaśāṅkabhūmijairvyayanavamodayanaidhanāśritaiḥ | bhavati maraṇamāśu dehināṃ yadi balinā guruṇā na vīkṣitaiḥ

When Saturn, the Sun, the Moon and Mars occupy the 12th, the 9th, the ascendant and the 8th ⟨respectively⟩, death comes quickly to embodied beings — if they are not aspected by a strong Jupiter.

सुतमदननवान्त्यलग्नरन्ध्रेष्वशुभयुते मरणाय शीतरश्मिः । भृगुसुतशशिपुत्रदेवपूज्यैर्यदि बलिभिर्न युतोऽवलोकितो वा

sutamadananavāntyalagnarandhreṣvaśubhayute maraṇāya śītaraśmiḥ | bhṛgusutaśaśiputradevapūjyairyadi balibhirna yuto'valokito vā

The Moon, joined with a malefic in the 5th (suta), the 7th (madana), the 9th, the 12th (antya), the ascendant or the 8th (randhra), makes for death — if it is neither joined with nor aspected by Venus, Mercury and Jupiter when they are strong.

योगे स्थानं गतवति बलिनश्चन्द्रे स्वं वा तनुगृहमथवा । पापैर्दृष्टे बलवति मरणं वर्षस्यान्तः किल मुनिगदितम्

yoge sthānaṃ gatavati balinaścandre svaṃ vā tanugṛhamathavā | pāpairdṛṣṭe balavati maraṇaṃ varṣasyāntaḥ kila munigaditam

In a yoga ⟨of early death⟩, ⟨when⟩ the Moon has gone to the place of a strong ⟨graha⟩, or to its own ⟨sign⟩, or else to the house of the body ⟨the ascendant⟩, and is aspected by a powerful malefic, death within the year: so indeed the sage has declared.

वक्री शनिर्भौमगृहोपयातः केन्द्रेऽथवा शत्रुगृहे विनाशे । कुजेन सम्प्राप्तबलेन दृष्टो वर्षद्वयं जीवयति प्रजातम्

vakrī śanirbhaumagṛhopayātaḥ kendre'thavā śatrugṛhe vināśe | kujena samprāptabalena dṛṣṭo varṣadvayaṃ jīvayati prajātam

A retrograde Saturn that has gone to a house of Mars, or is in a kendra, in an enemy's house, or in the 8th (vināśa), and is aspected by Mars possessed of strength, lets the newborn live ⟨only⟩ two years.

बृहस्पतिर्भौमगृहेऽष्टमस्थः सूर्येन्दुभौमार्कजदृष्टमूर्तिः । अब्दैस्त्रिभिर्भार्गवदृष्टिहीनो लोकान्तरं प्रापयति प्रजातम्

bṛhaspatirbhaumagṛhe'ṣṭamasthaḥ sūryendubhaumārkajadṛṣṭamūrtiḥ | abdaistribhirbhārgavadṛṣṭihīno lokāntaraṃ prāpayati prajātam

Jupiter, in a house of Mars and standing in the 8th, his body aspected by the Sun, the Moon, Mars and Saturn, and destitute of the aspect of Venus, carries the native to the other world in three years.

षष्ठाष्टमे कर्किणि जन्मलग्नात् सौम्ये सुधारश्मिनिरीक्ष्यमाणे । अब्दैश्चतुर्भिः समुपैति नाशं जातो नरः सर्वबलान्वितोऽपि

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame karkiṇi janmalagnāt saumye sudhāraśminirīkṣyamāṇe | abdaiścaturbhiḥ samupaiti nāśaṃ jāto naraḥ sarvabalānvito'pi

When Mercury is in Cancer, which stands as the 6th or the 8th from the birth-ascendant, and is aspected by the Moon, the man born meets destruction in four years, even though endowed with every strength.

रविचन्द्रभौमगुरुभिः कुजगुरुसौरेन्दुभिः सहैकस्थैः । रविशनिभौमशशाङ्कैर्मरणं खलु पञ्चभिर्वर्षैः

ravicandrabhaumagurubhiḥ kujagurusaurendubhiḥ sahaikasthaiḥ | raviśanibhaumaśaśāṅkairmaraṇaṃ khalu pañcabhirvarṣaiḥ

By the Sun, the Moon, Mars and Jupiter; by Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon standing together in one place; ⟨or⟩ by the Sun, Saturn, Mars and the Moon — death indeed in five years.

यदा सुधारश्मिनवांशकस्थे निरीक्षिते शीतकरेण मन्दे । लग्नाधिपे चन्द्रदृशा समेते जातस्य षड्वर्षमितं तदाऽयुः

yadā sudhāraśminavāṃśakasthe nirīkṣite śītakareṇa mande | lagnādhipe candradṛśā samete jātasya ṣaḍvarṣamitaṃ tadā'yuḥ

When Saturn stands in the navāṃśa of the Moon and is aspected by the Moon, and the lord of the ascendant is met by the Moon's aspect, then the native's life is measured at six years.

लग्ने यद्द्रेक्काणो निगलाहिविहङ्गपाशधरसंज्ञः । मरणाय सप्तवर्षैः क्रूरयुतो न स्वपतिसंदृष्टः

lagne yaddrekkāṇo nigalāhivihaṅgapāśadharasaṃjñaḥ | maraṇāya saptavarṣaiḥ krūrayuto na svapatisaṃdṛṣṭaḥ

If the drekkāṇa in the ascendant is one named fetter (nigala), serpent (ahi), bird ⟨vihaṅga⟩ or noose-bearer (pāśadhara), and is joined with a malefic and not aspected by its own lord, ⟨it makes⟩ for death within seven years.

लग्ने रविशनिभौमाः शुक्रगृहे सप्तमे शशी क्षीणः । दृष्टो न देवगुरुणा सप्तभिरष्टभिरब्दकैर्वा स्यात्

lagne raviśanibhaumāḥ śukragṛhe saptame śaśī kṣīṇaḥ | dṛṣṭo na devaguruṇā saptabhiraṣṭabhirabdakairvā syāt

The Sun, Saturn and Mars in the ascendant; the waning Moon in the 7th, which is a house of Venus; and ⟨that Moon⟩ not aspected by Jupiter (devaguru) — then ⟨death⟩ will be in seven or eight years.

दिवाकरेन्दुभूपुत्राः पुत्रस्थानसमन्विताः । जातो यमपुरं याति नवमाब्दे न संशयः

divākarendubhūputrāḥ putrasthānasamanvitāḥ | jāto yamapuraṃ yāti navamābde na saṃśayaḥ

The Sun, the Moon and Mars together in the house of children (the 5th) — the native goes to the city of Yama in the ninth year; there is no doubt of it.

पापो विलग्नाधिपतिः शशांकादन्यस्थतः क्रूरनिरीक्षितश्चेत् । चन्द्रांशकस्थे यदि वा तदीशो जातः शिशुर्याति लयं नवाब्दैः

pāpo vilagnādhipatiḥ śaśāṃkādanyasthataḥ krūranirīkṣitaścet | candrāṃśakasthe yadi vā tadīśo jātaḥ śiśuryāti layaṃ navābdaiḥ

If the lord of the ascendant is a malefic, placed elsewhere than the Moon and aspected by malefics; or if the lord thereof stands in the navāṃśa of the Moon — the child born goes to dissolution in nine years.

मृगांशकस्थिते मन्दे सौम्यदृष्टिसमन्विते । जन्मप्रभृतिशत्रुत्वं तस्यायुर्दशवत्सरम्

mṛgāṃśakasthite mande saumyadṛṣṭisamanvite | janmaprabhṛtiśatrutvaṃ tasyāyurdaśavatsaram

When Saturn stands in the navāṃśa of Capricorn (mṛga) and is joined with the aspect of Mercury, ⟨there is⟩ enmity from birth onward, and his life is ten years.

रविणा युक्तः शशिजः सौम्यैर्दृष्टो विनाशयति नूनम् । एकादशभिर्वर्षैर्जातं नृपतुल्यभोगसम्पन्नम्

raviṇā yuktaḥ śaśijaḥ saumyairdṛṣṭo vināśayati nūnam | ekādaśabhirvarṣairjātaṃ nṛpatulyabhogasampannam

Mercury, joined with the Sun and aspected by benefics, destroys in eleven years the native who is endowed with enjoyments equal to a king's.

चन्द्रलग्नाधिपः सूर्यः स्वपुत्रेण समन्वितः । लग्नादष्टमराशिस्थो द्वादशाब्दे सितेक्षितः

candralagnādhipaḥ sūryaḥ svaputreṇa samanvitaḥ | lagnādaṣṭamarāśistho dvādaśābde sitekṣitaḥ

The Sun, lord of the Moon-ascendant (candra-lagna), joined with his own son ⟨Saturn⟩, standing in the 8th sign from the ascendant and aspected by Venus — ⟨brings death⟩ in the twelfth year.

अल्यंशकस्थिते मन्दे सूर्येणैव निरीक्षिते । पितृद्वेषसमायुक्तो द्वादशाब्दं च जीवति

alyaṃśakasthite mande sūryeṇaiva nirīkṣite | pitṛdveṣasamāyukto dvādaśābdaṃ ca jīvati

When Saturn stands in the navāṃśa of Scorpio (ali) and is aspected by the Sun alone, ⟨the native⟩ is possessed of hatred for his father, and lives twelve years.

लग्नांशकस्थिते मन्दे जीवदृष्टिसमन्विते । त्रयोदशाब्दे मरणम् जातस्य पितृवैरिणः

lagnāṃśakasthite mande jīvadṛṣṭisamanvite | trayodaśābde maraṇam jātasya pitṛvairiṇaḥ

When Saturn stands in the navāṃśa of the ascendant and is joined with the aspect of Jupiter, ⟨there is⟩ death in the thirteenth year for the native, who is an enemy of his father.

कन्यांशकस्थिते मन्दे सौम्यदृष्टिसमन्विते । चतुर्दशाब्दे मरणं जातः कोपी समेति च

kanyāṃśakasthite mande saumyadṛṣṭisamanvite | caturdaśābde maraṇaṃ jātaḥ kopī sameti ca

When Saturn stands in the navāṃśa of Virgo and is joined with the aspect of Mercury, ⟨there is⟩ death in the fourteenth year; and the native, being wrathful, meets ⟨it⟩.

सिंहांशकस्थिते मन्दे राहुणा च निरीक्षिते । शस्त्रपीडा भवेत्तस्य चायुः पञ्चदशाब्दकम्

siṃhāṃśakasthite mande rāhuṇā ca nirīkṣite | śastrapīḍā bhavettasya cāyuḥ pañcadaśābdakam

When Saturn stands in the navāṃśa of Leo and is aspected by Rāhu, injury by a weapon befalls him, and his life is fifteen years.

कर्कांशकस्थिते मन्दे जीवदृष्टिसमन्विते । सर्पपीडा भवेत्तस्य षोडशाब्दान्मृतिं वदेत्

karkāṃśakasthite mande jīvadṛṣṭisamanvite | sarpapīḍā bhavettasya ṣoḍaśābdānmṛtiṃ vadet

When Saturn stands in the navāṃśa of Cancer and is joined with the aspect of Jupiter, affliction from a serpent befalls him; one should declare death after sixteen years.

यमांशकस्थिते मन्दे लग्ननाथेन वीक्षिते । रणशूरो महाभोगी मृतः सप्तदशाब्दके

yamāṃśakasthite mande lagnanāthena vīkṣite | raṇaśūro mahābhogī mṛtaḥ saptadaśābdake

When Saturn stands in the navāṃśa of Gemini (yama, the twins) and is aspected by the lord of the ascendant, ⟨the native is⟩ a hero in battle and a great enjoyer, ⟨and⟩ dies in the seventeenth year.

परस्परक्षेत्रसमन्वितौ वा रन्ध्रेशलग्नाधिपती न सौम्यौ । रिःफारिभे वा गुरुणा वियुक्ते त्वष्टादशाब्दे निधनं प्रयाति

parasparakṣetrasamanvitau vā randhreśalagnādhipatī na saumyau | riḥphāribhe vā guruṇā viyukte tvaṣṭādaśābde nidhanaṃ prayāti

Or if the lord of the 8th (randhra) and the lord of the ascendant, ⟨being⟩ not benefics, occupy each other's signs; or ⟨stand⟩ in the 12th (riḥpha) or the 6th (ari) sign, severed from Jupiter — he goes to death in the eighteenth year.

जीवांशकस्थिते मन्दे राहुणा च निरीक्षिते । देहाधिपे शुभादृष्टे जातः सद्यो विनश्यति । तदीशस्तुङ्गभागश्चेदायुरेकोनविंशतिः

jīvāṃśakasthite mande rāhuṇā ca nirīkṣite | dehādhipe śubhādṛṣṭe jātaḥ sadyo vinaśyati | tadīśastuṅgabhāgaścedāyurekonaviṃśatiḥ

When Saturn stands in the aṃśaka ⟨navāṃśa⟩ of Jīva ⟨Jupiter⟩ and is aspected by Rāhu, and the lord of the body ⟨the lagna lord⟩ is unaspected by benefics, the native perishes at once. If the lord of that ⟨sign⟩ is in the portion of exaltation, the life-span is nineteen ⟨years⟩.

केन्द्रेषु पापेषु निशाकरेण सौम्यग्रहैरीक्षणवर्जितेषु । षष्ठाष्टमे वा यदि शीतरश्मौ जातः सुखी विंशतिवत्सरान्तम्

kendreṣu pāpeṣu niśākareṇa saumyagrahairīkṣaṇavarjiteṣu | ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame vā yadi śītaraśmau jātaḥ sukhī viṃśativatsarāntam

When malefics occupy the kendras and are deprived of the aspect of the Moon and of the benefic grahas, or if the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩ is in the sixth or the eighth, the native is happy ⟨only⟩ to the end of twenty years.

जीवेन सहितः सूर्यो लग्नस्थः कीटराशिगः । अष्टमाधिपतौ केन्द्रे द्वाविंशत्यब्दके मृतिः

jīvena sahitaḥ sūryo lagnasthaḥ kīṭarāśigaḥ | aṣṭamādhipatau kendre dvāviṃśatyabdake mṛtiḥ

The Sun joined with Jupiter, standing in the lagna in a kīṭa ⟨Scorpio⟩ sign, and the lord of the eighth in a kendra: death in the twenty-second year.

मन्दोदये शत्रुराशौ सौम्यैरापोक्लिमोपगैः । षड्विंशत्यब्दके वा स्यात् सप्तविंशतिवत्सरे

mandodaye śatrurāśau saumyairāpoklimopagaiḥ | ṣaḍviṃśatyabdake vā syāt saptaviṃśativatsare

Saturn at the rising ⟨in the lagna⟩ in an enemy's sign, with the benefics gone to the āpoklima ⟨cadent⟩ houses: ⟨death⟩ falls in the twenty-sixth year, or in the twenty-seventh.

रन्ध्रेशे जीवसंदृष्टे पापे पापनिरीक्षिते। रन्ध्रस्थे जन्मपे मृत्युरष्टाविंशतिवत्सरे

randhreśe jīvasaṃdṛṣṭe pāpe pāpanirīkṣite| randhrasthe janmape mṛtyuraṣṭāviṃśativatsare

The lord of the eighth aspected by Jupiter, a malefic aspected by a malefic, and the lord of the birth ⟨the lagna lord⟩ standing in the eighth: death in the twenty-eighth year.

चन्द्रो मन्दसहायस्तु सूर्यश्चाष्टमसंस्थितः । एकोनत्रिंशके वर्षे जातो यमपुरं व्रजेत्

candro mandasahāyastu sūryaścāṣṭamasaṃsthitaḥ | ekonatriṃśake varṣe jāto yamapuraṃ vrajet

The Moon having Saturn for companion, and the Sun placed in the eighth: the native goes to Yama's city in the twenty-ninth year.

जन्मरन्ध्रपयोर्मध्ये निशानाथे व्यये गुरौ । सप्तविंशतिवर्षे वा त्रिंशद्वयसि वा मृतिः

janmarandhrapayormadhye niśānāthe vyaye gurau | saptaviṃśativarṣe vā triṃśadvayasi vā mṛtiḥ

When the Moon stands between the lords of the birth ⟨the lagna⟩ and of the eighth, and Jupiter is in the twelfth, death comes in the twenty-seventh year, or at the age of thirty.

अष्टमाधिपतौ केन्द्रे लग्नेशे बलवर्जिते । त्रिंशद्वर्षमितायुष्मान् द्वात्रिंशद्वत्सरे मृतिः

aṣṭamādhipatau kendre lagneśe balavarjite | triṃśadvarṣamitāyuṣmān dvātriṃśadvatsare mṛtiḥ

When the lord of the eighth is in a kendra and the lagna lord is bereft of strength, ⟨the native's⟩ life measures thirty years; death in the thirty-second year.

क्षीणे शशाङ्के यदि पापयुक्ते रन्ध्राधिपे केन्द्रगतेऽष्टमे वा । पापान्विते हीनबले विलग्ने द्वात्रिंशदब्दे निधनं प्रयाति

kṣīṇe śaśāṅke yadi pāpayukte randhrādhipe kendragate'ṣṭame vā | pāpānvite hīnabale vilagne dvātriṃśadabde nidhanaṃ prayāti

If the waning Moon is joined with malefics, the lord of the eighth has gone to a kendra or to the eighth, and the lagna, joined with malefics, is without strength, ⟨the native⟩ goes to his destruction in the thirty-second year.

षष्ठाष्टमे व्यये पापे लग्नेशे दुर्बले सति । अल्पायुरनपत्यो वा शुभदृग्योगवर्जिते

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame vyaye pāpe lagneśe durbale sati | alpāyuranapatyo vā śubhadṛgyogavarjite

With a malefic in the sixth, the eighth ⟨or⟩ the twelfth, and the lagna lord weak and devoid of the aspect and conjunction of benefics, ⟨the native is⟩ short-lived — or else childless.

क्रूरषष्ठ्यंशके वाऽपि रन्ध्रेशे भानुजेऽपि वा । पापान्विते पापखेटे चाल्पमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

krūraṣaṣṭhyaṃśake vā'pi randhreśe bhānuje'pi vā | pāpānvite pāpakheṭe cālpamāyurvinirdiśet

When the lord of the eighth, or Saturn ⟨the Sun's son⟩, or a malefic graha joined with malefics, stands in a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, one should declare a short life.

व्ययार्थौ पापसंयुक्तौ शुभदृष्टिविवर्जितौ । क्रूरषष्ठ्यंशसंयुक्तौ वाऽल्पमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

vyayārthau pāpasaṃyuktau śubhadṛṣṭivivarjitau | krūraṣaṣṭhyaṃśasaṃyuktau vā'lpamāyurvinirdiśet

When the twelfth and the second are joined with malefics and are devoid of benefic aspect, or are joined with a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, one should declare a short life.

अत्यन्तसत्त्वे यदि लग्ननाथे सौम्यान्विते तादृशदृष्टियोगे । केन्द्रस्थिते पापदृशा विहीने सद्भाग्ययुग् जीवति दीर्घमायुः

atyantasattve yadi lagnanāthe saumyānvite tādṛśadṛṣṭiyoge | kendrasthite pāpadṛśā vihīne sadbhāgyayug jīvati dīrghamāyuḥ

If the lord of the lagna is of the utmost strength, joined with benefics and holding the aspect and conjunction of such ⟨benefics⟩, stationed in a kendra and free of the gaze of malefics, ⟨the native⟩, yoked to good fortune, lives a long life.

चन्द्रः सम्पूर्णगात्रस्तु सौम्यक्षेत्रांशगोऽपि वा । सर्वारिष्टनिहन्ता स्याद् विशेषाच्छुक्रवीक्षितः

candraḥ sampūrṇagātrastu saumyakṣetrāṃśago'pi vā | sarvāriṣṭanihantā syād viśeṣācchukravīkṣitaḥ

The Moon, being of full body ⟨full-orbed⟩, or gone to the sign or the aṃśa of a saumya ⟨a benefic; or Mercury⟩, becomes the slayer of every ariṣṭa — especially when aspected by Venus.

जीवभार्गवसौम्यानामेकः केन्द्रगतो बली । पापकृद्योगहीनश्चेत्सद्योऽरिष्टस्य भङ्गकृद्

jīvabhārgavasaumyānāmekaḥ kendragato balī | pāpakṛdyogahīnaścetsadyo'riṣṭasya bhaṅgakṛd

If even one of Jupiter, Venus and Mercury, being strong, has gone to a kendra and is free from conjunction with malefics, it at once works the breaking of the ariṣṭa.

स्वोच्चस्थः स्वगृहेऽथवापि सुहृदां वर्गे च सौम्यस्य वा । सम्पूर्णः शुभवीक्षितः शशधरो वर्गे स्वकीयेऽपि वा । शत्रूणामवलोकनादिरहितः पापैरयुक्तेक्षितो। अरिष्टं हन्ति सुदुस्तरं दिनमणिः प्रालेयराशिं यथा

svoccasthaḥ svagṛhe'thavāpi suhṛdāṃ varge ca saumyasya vā | sampūrṇaḥ śubhavīkṣitaḥ śaśadharo varge svakīye'pi vā | śatrūṇāmavalokanādirahitaḥ pāpairayuktekṣito| ariṣṭaṃ hanti sudustaraṃ dinamaṇiḥ prāleyarāśiṃ yathā

The Moon standing in his own exaltation, or in his own house, or in the varga of friends, or in that of a saumya ⟨a benefic; or Mercury⟩; full-orbed and aspected by benefics, or in his own varga; free from the looking and the rest of enemies, neither joined with nor aspected by malefics, ⟨such a Moon⟩ slays the ariṣṭa, very hard to pass beyond ⟨though it be⟩, as the day-jewel ⟨the Sun⟩ ⟨slays⟩ a heap of snow.

पक्षे सिते भवति जन्म यदि क्षपायां कृष्णेऽथवाऽहनि शुभाशुभदृष्टमूर्तिः । तं चन्द्रमा रिपुविनाशगतोऽपि नूनमापत्सु रक्षति पितेव शिशुं प्रजातम्

pakṣe site bhavati janma yadi kṣapāyāṃ kṛṣṇe'thavā'hani śubhāśubhadṛṣṭamūrtiḥ | taṃ candramā ripuvināśagato'pi nūnamāpatsu rakṣati piteva śiśuṃ prajātam

If the birth falls in the bright fortnight by night, or in the dark ⟨fortnight⟩ by day, then the Moon — his form aspected by benefics and malefics ⟨alike⟩, and gone even to ripu ⟨the sixth⟩ or vināśa ⟨the eighth⟩ — surely guards him in calamities, as a father ⟨guards⟩ the child newly born.

केन्द्रोपगोऽतिबलवान् स्फुरदंशुमाली स्वर्लोकराजसचिवः शमयेदवश्यम् । एको बहूनि दुरितानि सुदुस्तराणि भक्त्या प्रयुक्त इव शूलधरे प्रणामः

kendropago'tibalavān sphuradaṃśumālī svarlokarājasacivaḥ śamayedavaśyam | eko bahūni duritāni sudustarāṇi bhaktyā prayukta iva śūladhare praṇāmaḥ

Gone to a kendra, exceedingly strong, wreathed in quivering rays, the counsellor of the king of the world of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ will surely, alone, quell many evils that are very hard to pass beyond — as does a single obeisance offered with devotion to the Trident-bearer ⟨Śiva⟩.

लग्नेशो बलयुक्तश्चेत् त्रिकोणे वा चतुष्टये । अरिष्टयोगजातोऽपि बालो जीवति निश्चयः

lagneśo balayuktaścet trikoṇe vā catuṣṭaye | ariṣṭayogajāto'pi bālo jīvati niścayaḥ

If the lagna lord is endowed with strength ⟨and stands⟩ in a trikoṇa or a catuṣṭaya ⟨a kendra⟩, then even a child born under an ariṣṭa yoga lives — this is certain.

यस्य जन्मनि तुङ्गस्थाः स्वक्षेत्रस्थानमाश्रिताः । चिरायुषं शिशु जातं कुर्वन्त्यत्र न संशयः

yasya janmani tuṅgasthāḥ svakṣetrasthānamāśritāḥ | cirāyuṣaṃ śiśu jātaṃ kurvantyatra na saṃśayaḥ

⟨The grahas⟩ that at a man's birth stand exalted, or have taken up their place in their own sign, make the child that is born long-lived; there is no doubt in this.

राहुस्त्रिषष्ठलाभे लग्नात्सौम्यैर्निरीक्षितः सद्यः । नाशयति सर्वदुरितं मारुत इव तूलसङ्घातम्

rāhustriṣaṣṭhalābhe lagnātsaumyairnirīkṣitaḥ sadyaḥ | nāśayati sarvaduritaṃ māruta iva tūlasaṅghātam

Rāhu in the third, the sixth or the eleventh ⟨lābha⟩ from the lagna, aspected by benefics, destroys all evil on the instant — as the wind ⟨scatters⟩ a mass of cotton.

अजवृषकर्किविलग्ने रक्षति राहुर्निरन्तरं बालम् । पृथिवीपतिः प्रसन्नः कृतापराधं यथा पुरुषम्

ajavṛṣakarkivilagne rakṣati rāhurnirantaraṃ bālam | pṛthivīpatiḥ prasannaḥ kṛtāparādhaṃ yathā puruṣam

When the lagna is Aja ⟨Aries⟩, Vṛṣa ⟨Taurus⟩ or Karki ⟨Cancer⟩, Rāhu guards the child without a break — as a lord of the earth, well pleased, ⟨guards⟩ a man who has done wrong.

निशाकरः शोभनवर्गयुक्तः शुभेक्षितः पूरितदीप्तिजालः । जातस्य निःशेषमरिष्टमाशु निहन्ति यद्वद् गरलं गरुत्मान्

niśākaraḥ śobhanavargayuktaḥ śubhekṣitaḥ pūritadīptijālaḥ | jātasya niḥśeṣamariṣṭamāśu nihanti yadvad garalaṃ garutmān

The Moon, joined with auspicious vargas, aspected by benefics, his web of light filled full, swiftly slays the native's ariṣṭa to the last remainder — as Garutmān ⟨Garuḍa⟩ ⟨destroys⟩ poison.

चन्द्राधिष्ठितराशीशे लग्नस्थे शुभवीक्षिते । भृगुणा वीक्षिते चन्द्रे स्वोच्चेऽरिष्टं हरेत्तदा

candrādhiṣṭhitarāśīśe lagnasthe śubhavīkṣite | bhṛguṇā vīkṣite candre svocce'riṣṭaṃ harettadā

When the lord of the sign the Moon occupies stands in the lagna and is aspected by benefics, and the Moon, in his own exaltation, is aspected by Bhṛgu ⟨Venus⟩, then ⟨the yoga⟩ carries off the ariṣṭa.

लग्नाधिपोऽतिबलवानशुभैरदृष्टः केन्द्रस्थितः शुभखगैरवलोक्यमानः । मृत्युंविधूय विदधाति स दीर्घमायुः सार्धं गुणैर्बहुभिरूर्जितराजलक्ष्म्या

lagnādhipo'tibalavānaśubhairadṛṣṭaḥ kendrasthitaḥ śubhakhagairavalokyamānaḥ | mṛtyuṃvidhūya vidadhāti sa dīrghamāyuḥ sārdhaṃ guṇairbahubhirūrjitarājalakṣmyā

The lord of the lagna, exceedingly strong, unaspected by malefics, stationed in a kendra and looked upon by benefic grahas — he shakes off death and bestows a long life, together with many virtues and a vigorous royal fortune.

बलहीने विलग्नेशे जीवे केन्द्रत्रिकोणगे । षष्ठाष्टमव्यये पापे मध्यमायुरुदाहृतम् । द्वात्रिंशद्वत्सरादुपरि सप्ततिपर्यन्तं मध्यमायुर्योगः ।

balahīne vilagneśe jīve kendratrikoṇage | ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamavyaye pāpe madhyamāyurudāhṛtam | dvātriṃśadvatsarādupari saptatiparyantaṃ madhyamāyuryogaḥ |

When the lagna lord is without strength, Jupiter is in a kendra or a trikoṇa, and malefics are in the sixth, the eighth and the twelfth, a middling life-span is declared. From the thirty-second year up to seventy is the yoga of the middling life-span.

चतुष्टये शुभैर्युक्ते लग्नेशे शुभसंयुते । गुरुणा दृष्टिसंयोगे पूर्णमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

catuṣṭaye śubhairyukte lagneśe śubhasaṃyute | guruṇā dṛṣṭisaṃyoge pūrṇamāyurvinirdiśet

When the catuṣṭaya ⟨the kendras⟩ are occupied by benefics, the lagna lord is joined with benefics, and there is the aspect or the conjunction of Jupiter, one should declare a full life-span.

केन्द्रान्विते विलग्नेशे गुरुशुक्रसमन्विते । ताभ्यां निरीक्षिते वाऽपि पूर्णमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

kendrānvite vilagneśe guruśukrasamanvite | tābhyāṃ nirīkṣite vā'pi pūrṇamāyurvinirdiśet

When the lord of the lagna is placed in a kendra and joined with Jupiter and Venus, or even ⟨only⟩ aspected by those two, one should declare full life.

उच्चान्वितैस्त्रिभिः खेटैर्लग्नरन्ध्रेशसंयुतैः । रन्ध्रे पापविहीने च दीर्घमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

uccānvitaistribhiḥ kheṭairlagnarandhreśasaṃyutaiḥ | randhre pāpavihīne ca dīrghamāyurvinirdiśet

When three sky-goers ⟨grahas⟩ endowed with exaltation are joined with the lords of the lagna and of the 8th (randhra), and the 8th is free of malefics, one should declare long life.

रन्ध्रेस्थितैस्त्रिभिः खेटैः स्वोच्चमित्रस्ववर्गगैः । लग्नेशे बलसंयुक्ते दीर्घमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

randhresthitaistribhiḥ kheṭaiḥ svoccamitrasvavargagaiḥ | lagneśe balasaṃyukte dīrghamāyurvinirdiśet

When three sky-goers stand in the 8th (randhra) in their own exaltation, in a friend's, or in their own varga, and the lord of the lagna is possessed of strength, one should declare long life.

स्वोच्चस्थितेन केनापि खेचरेण समन्वितः । शनिर्वा रन्ध्रनाथो वा दीर्घमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

svoccasthitena kenāpi khecareṇa samanvitaḥ | śanirvā randhranātho vā dīrghamāyurvinirdiśet

Saturn, or else the lord of the 8th (randhra), joined with any sky-goer whatever that stands in its own exaltation — ⟨then⟩ one should declare long life.

त्रिषडायगताः पापाः शुभाः केन्द्रत्रिकोणगाः । लग्नेशे बलसंयुक्तः पूर्णमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

triṣaḍāyagatāḥ pāpāḥ śubhāḥ kendratrikoṇagāḥ | lagneśe balasaṃyuktaḥ pūrṇamāyurvinirdiśet

Malefics gone to the 3rd, 6th and 11th (triṣaḍāya); benefics in kendras and trikoṇas; the lord of the lagna possessed of strength — one should declare full life.

षट्सप्तरन्ध्रभावेषु शुभेषु सहितेषु च । त्रिषडायेषु पापेषु दीर्घमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

ṣaṭsaptarandhrabhāveṣu śubheṣu sahiteṣu ca | triṣaḍāyeṣu pāpeṣu dīrghamāyurvinirdiśet

When benefics are together in the 6th, 7th and 8th (randhra) houses, and malefics are in the 3rd, 6th and 11th (triṣaḍāya), one should declare long life.

रिःफशत्रुगताः पापा लग्नेशो यदि केन्द्रगः । रन्ध्रस्थानगता पापाः कर्मेशः स्वोच्चराशिगः । योगद्वयेऽपि दीर्घायुरुपैति बहुसम्मतम्

riḥphaśatrugatāḥ pāpā lagneśo yadi kendragaḥ | randhrasthānagatā pāpāḥ karmeśaḥ svoccarāśigaḥ | yogadvaye'pi dīrghāyurupaiti bahusammatam

Malefics gone to the 12th (riḥpha) and the 6th (śatru); the lord of the lagna, if it is in a kendra; malefics gone to the place of the 8th (randhra), and the lord of the 10th (karman) in its own exaltation sign — in both yogas alike ⟨the native⟩ attains long life; this is agreed by many.

रन्ध्रेशस्थगृहाधीशो यस्मिन् राशौ व्यवस्थितः । तदीशो लग्ननाथश्च केन्द्रगो यदि तादृशम्

randhreśasthagṛhādhīśo yasmin rāśau vyavasthitaḥ | tadīśo lagnanāthaśca kendrago yadi tādṛśam

The lord of the house in which the lord of the 8th (randhra) stands; and the lord of whatever rāśi that one is placed in; and the lord of the lagna — if ⟨these⟩ are in a kendra, ⟨the life⟩ is of that same ⟨long⟩ kind.

द्विस्वभावं गते लग्ने तदीशे केन्द्रगेऽपि वा । स्वोच्चमूलत्रिकोणे वा चिरं जीवति भाग्यवान्

dvisvabhāvaṃ gate lagne tadīśe kendrage'pi vā | svoccamūlatrikoṇe vā ciraṃ jīvati bhāgyavān

When the lagna has gone to a two-bodied (dual) sign and its lord too is in a kendra, or in its own exaltation or mūlatrikoṇa, the fortunate one lives long.

द्विस्वभावं गते लग्ने लग्नेशात् केन्द्रगौ यदि । द्वौ पापौ यस्य जनने तस्यायुर्दीर्घमादिशेत्

dvisvabhāvaṃ gate lagne lagneśāt kendragau yadi | dvau pāpau yasya janane tasyāyurdīrghamādiśet

When the lagna has gone to a two-bodied (dual) sign, ⟨and⟩ if at a man's birth two malefics are in kendras from the lord of the lagna, one should declare his life long.

चरांशकस्था रविमन्दभौमाः स्थिरांशकस्थौ गुरुदानवेज्यौ । शेषाश्च युग्मांशगता यदि स्युस्तदा समुद्भूतनरः शतायुः । सप्तत्युपरिशतान्तं पूर्णमायुः ।

carāṃśakasthā ravimandabhaumāḥ sthirāṃśakasthau gurudānavejyau | śeṣāśca yugmāṃśagatā yadi syustadā samudbhūtanaraḥ śatāyuḥ | saptatyupariśatāntaṃ pūrṇamāyuḥ |

The Sun, Saturn (manda) and Mars standing in movable aṃśas ⟨navāṃśas⟩; Jupiter and Venus (dānavejya, the preceptor of the demons) standing in fixed aṃśas; and the rest gone to dual aṃśas — if they be so, the man born then is one of a hundred years. Above seventy, to the end of a hundred, is full life.

मन्दांशकस्था रविजीवभौमा धर्मस्थितास्तन्नवभागसंस्थाः । बलान्विता लग्नगतो हिमांशुर्युगान्तमायुः श्रियमादधाति

mandāṃśakasthā ravijīvabhaumā dharmasthitāstannavabhāgasaṃsthāḥ | balānvitā lagnagato himāṃśuryugāntamāyuḥ śriyamādadhāti

The Sun, Jupiter (jīva) and Mars standing in Saturn's (manda's) aṃśas, situated in the 9th (dharma) or established in the navāṃśa of that ⟨sign⟩, and possessed of strength; and the Moon (himāṃśu, the cool-rayed) gone to the lagna — ⟨this⟩ confers life to the end of an age, and wealth.

एकांशभागौ गुरुसूर्यपुत्रौ धर्मस्थितौ वा यदि कर्मसंस्थौ । अर्कोदये सौम्यनिरीक्ष्यमाणौ मुनिर्भवेदत्र भवश्चिरायुः

ekāṃśabhāgau gurusūryaputrau dharmasthitau vā yadi karmasaṃsthau | arkodaye saumyanirīkṣyamāṇau munirbhavedatra bhavaścirāyuḥ

Jupiter and the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩ occupying one and the same aṃśa, standing in the 9th (dharma) or else placed in the 10th (karman), and aspected by benefics at the rising of the Sun — one born here becomes a sage (muni), and is long-lived.

गुरुशशिसहिते कुलीरलग्ने शशितनये भृगुजे च केन्द्रयाते । भवरिपुसहजोपगैश्च शेषैरमितमिहायुरनुक्रमाद्विना स्यात्

guruśaśisahite kulīralagne śaśitanaye bhṛguje ca kendrayāte | bhavaripusahajopagaiśca śeṣairamitamihāyuranukramādvinā syāt

When the lagna is Cancer (kulīra) joined with Jupiter and the Moon, Mercury (śaśitanaya, the Moon's son) and Venus (bhṛguja) have gone to kendras, and the remaining ⟨grahas⟩ occupy the 11th (bhava), the 6th (ripu) and the 3rd (sahaja), life here would be beyond measure, outside the order ⟨of the reckoning⟩.

त्रिकोणे पापनिर्मुक्ते केन्द्रे सौम्यविवर्जिते । रन्ध्रे पापविहीने च जातस्त्वमरसन्निभः

trikoṇe pāpanirmukte kendre saumyavivarjite | randhre pāpavihīne ca jātastvamarasannibhaḥ

When the trikoṇa is free of malefics, the kendra devoid of benefics (saumya), and the 8th (randhra) without malefics, the one born is the likeness of an immortal.

शन्यादिभौमपर्यन्तं लग्नादौ खेचराः स्थिताः । वैशेषिकांशसंयुक्ता जातस्त्वमरसन्निभः

śanyādibhaumaparyantaṃ lagnādau khecarāḥ sthitāḥ | vaiśeṣikāṃśasaṃyuktā jātastvamarasannibhaḥ

The sky-goers, from Saturn ⟨first⟩ to Mars ⟨last⟩, standing in the houses beginning with the lagna and joined with vaiśeṣikāṃśas — the one born is the likeness of an immortal.

मेषान्त्यलग्ने सगुरौ भृगौ वा निशाकरे गोगृहमध्यमांशे । सिंहासनांशे यदि वा धराजे जातस्त्वसङ्ख्यातमुपैति मन्त्रैः

meṣāntyalagne sagurau bhṛgau vā niśākare gogṛhamadhyamāṃśe | siṃhāsanāṃśe yadi vā dharāje jātastvasaṅkhyātamupaiti mantraiḥ

When the lagna is in the last ⟨part⟩ of Aries with Jupiter, or with Venus ⟨there⟩; or the Moon (niśākara) is in the middle aṃśa of the cow-house ⟨Taurus⟩; or Mars (dharāja, the earth-born) is in the siṃhāsana aṃśa — the one born attains, by mantras, what cannot be counted.

देवलोकांशके मन्दे भौमे पारावतांशके । सिंहासने गुरौ लग्ने जातो मुनिसमो भवेत्

devalokāṃśake mande bhaume pārāvatāṃśake | siṃhāsane gurau lagne jāto munisamo bhavet

Saturn (manda) in the devaloka aṃśa, Mars in the pārāvata aṃśa, and Jupiter in the siṃhāsana ⟨aṃśa⟩ in the lagna — the one born becomes the equal of a sage (muni).

गोपुरांशे गुरौ केन्द्रे शुक्रे पारावतांशके । त्रिकोणे कर्कटे लग्ने युगान्तं स तु जीवति

gopurāṃśe gurau kendre śukre pārāvatāṃśake | trikoṇe karkaṭe lagne yugāntaṃ sa tu jīvati

Jupiter in the gopura aṃśa in a kendra, Venus in the pārāvata aṃśa in a trikoṇa, and Cancer as the lagna — he indeed lives to the end of an age.

चापांशे कर्कटे लग्ने तस्मिन् देवेन्द्रपूजिते । त्रिचतुर्भिर्ग्रहैः केन्द्रे जातो ब्रह्मपदं व्रजेत्

cāpāṃśe karkaṭe lagne tasmin devendrapūjite | tricaturbhirgrahaiḥ kendre jāto brahmapadaṃ vrajet

When Cancer is the lagna in the Sagittarius (cāpa) aṃśa, and in it stands Jupiter ⟨he whom the lord of the gods reveres⟩, with three or four grahas in kendras, the one born goes to the station of Brahmā.

लग्ने सेज्ये भृगौ कामे कन्यायामुडुनायके । चापे मेषांशके लग्ने जातो याति परं पदम्

lagne sejye bhṛgau kāme kanyāyāmuḍunāyake | cāpe meṣāṃśake lagne jāto yāti paraṃ padam

With Jupiter in the lagna (sejya, 'with Ijya'), Venus in the 7th (kāma), the Moon (uḍunāyaka, lord of the asterisms) in Virgo, and the lagna in Sagittarius (cāpa) in the Aries aṃśa — the one born goes to the supreme station.

बालारिष्टं योगसञ्जातमल्पं तेषां भङ्गान्मध्यमं दीर्घमायुः । दिव्यं योगाभ्यासमन्त्रक्रियाद्यैरायुः सप्तैतानि सङ्कीर्तितानि

bālāriṣṭaṃ yogasañjātamalpaṃ teṣāṃ bhaṅgānmadhyamaṃ dīrghamāyuḥ | divyaṃ yogābhyāsamantrakriyādyairāyuḥ saptaitāni saṅkīrtitāni

Bālāriṣṭa ⟨the peril of childhood⟩; ⟨the peril⟩ arisen from yogas; short ⟨life⟩; from the breaking of these, middling and long life; and divine ⟨life⟩ through the practice of yoga, through mantra, through rite and the rest — these seven lives have been proclaimed.

निसर्गपैण्ड्यांशकरश्मिचक्रनक्षत्रदायाष्टकवर्गजानि । पराशराद्यैः कथितानि यानि संगृह्य तानि क्रमशः प्रवच्मि

nisargapaiṇḍyāṃśakaraśmicakranakṣatradāyāṣṭakavargajāni | parāśarādyaiḥ kathitāni yāni saṃgṛhya tāni kramaśaḥ pravacmi

The naisarga (natural), the piṇḍa, the aṃśa, the raśmi (ray), the cakra, the nakṣatra-allotment and the aṣṭakavarga kinds ⟨of longevity⟩ — those which have been declared by Parāśara and the rest: having gathered them together, I set them forth in order.

नखाः शशी द्वौ नवकं धृतिश्च कृतिः खबाणा रविपूर्वकाणाम् । इमा निरुक्ताः क्रमशः ग्रहाणां नैसर्गिके ह्वायुषि वर्षसंख्याः

nakhāḥ śaśī dvau navakaṃ dhṛtiśca kṛtiḥ khabāṇā ravipūrvakāṇām | imā niruktāḥ kramaśaḥ grahāṇāṃ naisargike hvāyuṣi varṣasaṃkhyāḥ

Twenty ⟨nakhāḥ, the nails⟩, one ⟨śaśī, the Moon⟩, two, nine, eighteen, twenty and fifty, for ⟨the grahas⟩ beginning with the Sun — these are declared, in order, to be the grahas' year-counts in the naisargika longevity.

नवेन्दवो वाणयमाः शरक्ष्मा दिवाकराः पञ्चभुवः कुपक्षाः । नखाश्च भास्वत्प्रमुखग्रहाणां पिण्डायुषोऽब्दा निजतुङ्गगानाम्

navendavo vāṇayamāḥ śarakṣmā divākarāḥ pañcabhuvaḥ kupakṣāḥ | nakhāśca bhāsvatpramukhagrahāṇāṃ piṇḍāyuṣo'bdā nijatuṅgagānām

Nineteen, twenty-five, fifteen, twelve, fifteen, twenty-one and twenty — ⟨these⟩ are the years of the piṇḍa longevity of the grahas beginning with the Sun (bhāsvat), when they stand in their own exaltation.

निजोच्चशुद्धः खचरो विशोध्यो भमण्डलात् षड्भवनोनकश्चेत् । यथास्थितः षड्भवनाधिकश्चेल्लिप्तीकृतः सङ्गुणितो निजाब्दैः

nijoccaśuddhaḥ khacaro viśodhyo bhamaṇḍalāt ṣaḍbhavanonakaścet | yathāsthitaḥ ṣaḍbhavanādhikaścelliptīkṛtaḥ saṅguṇito nijābdaiḥ

The graha diminished by its own exaltation ⟨longitude⟩ is to be subtracted from the zodiac circle if it falls short of six signs; if it exceeds six signs, ⟨it is taken⟩ as it stands. Reduced to minutes, it is multiplied by its own years.

तत्र खाभ्ररसचन्द्रलोचनैरुद्धृते सति यदाप्यते फलम् । वर्षमासदिननाडिकादिकं तद्धि पिण्डभवमायुरुच्यते

tatra khābhrarasacandralocanairuddhṛte sati yadāpyate phalam | varṣamāsadinanāḍikādikaṃ taddhi piṇḍabhavamāyurucyate

Then, when that is divided by 21,600, the result obtained is ⟨in⟩ years, months, days, nāḍikās and the rest — that indeed is called the piṇḍa-born longevity.

स्वोच्चोनस्फुटखेचरं यदि रसादल्पं भचक्रोद्धृतम् लिप्तीकृत्य निजायुरब्दगुणितं तच्चक्रलिप्ताहृतम् । लब्धं वासरनायकादिखचरैर्दत्तायुरब्दादिकम् नीचार्द्धक्रमशो वदन्ति मुनयः पैण्ड्ये च नैसर्गिके

svocconasphuṭakhecaraṃ yadi rasādalpaṃ bhacakroddhṛtam liptīkṛtya nijāyurabdaguṇitaṃ taccakraliptāhṛtam | labdhaṃ vāsaranāyakādikhacarairdattāyurabdādikam nīcārddhakramaśo vadanti munayaḥ paiṇḍye ca naisargike

If the true graha, diminished by its own exaltation, is less than six ⟨signs⟩, it is subtracted from the zodiac circle; reduced to minutes and multiplied by its own longevity-years, and that divided by the minutes of the circle — what is obtained is the longevity, in years and the rest, given by the grahas beginning with the lord of the day ⟨the Sun⟩. At debilitation, half, in order — so the sages declare, in the piṇḍa ⟨reckoning⟩ and in the naisargika.

नीचेऽतोऽर्द्धं हसति हि ततश्चान्तरस्थेऽनुपातो होरा त्वंशप्रतिममपरे राशितुल्यं वदन्ति । हित्वा वक्रं रिपुगृहगतैर्हीयते स्वत्रिभागः सूर्योच्छिन्नद्युतिषु च दलं प्रोज्झ्य शुक्रार्कपुत्रौ

nīce'to'rddhaṃ hasati hi tataścāntarasthe'nupāto horā tvaṃśapratimamapare rāśitulyaṃ vadanti | hitvā vakraṃ ripugṛhagatairhīyate svatribhāgaḥ sūryocchinnadyutiṣu ca dalaṃ projjhya śukrārkaputrau

At debilitation half of this is indeed lost; for ⟨a graha⟩ standing between the two ⟨points⟩, ⟨apply⟩ proportion. The horā ⟨the ascendant⟩ gives ⟨years⟩ matching its navāṃśa; others say equal to the rāśi. Excepting Mars (vakra), a third of their own ⟨allotment⟩ is lost by those gone into an enemy's house; and when their brilliance is cut off by the Sun ⟨combustion⟩, ⟨they lose⟩ half — leaving aside Venus and Saturn.

क्षोणीपुत्रं वर्जयित्वा रिपुस्थास्त्र्यंशं नीचस्थानगास्ते तदर्धम् । अस्तं याताः शर्व एवार्द्धहानिं कुर्युर्हित्वा शुक्रमार्तण्डपुत्रौ

kṣoṇīputraṃ varjayitvā ripusthāstryaṃśaṃ nīcasthānagāste tadardham | astaṃ yātāḥ śarva evārddhahāniṃ kuryurhitvā śukramārtaṇḍaputrau

Excepting Mars (kṣoṇīputra, the son of the earth), those standing in an enemy's house ⟨lose⟩ a third; those gone to the place of debilitation, half of that ⟨allotment⟩. All that have gone to setting ⟨combustion⟩ suffer the loss of half — leaving aside Venus and Saturn (mārtaṇḍa-putra).

सर्वार्द्धत्रिचरणपञ्चषष्ठभागाः क्षीयन्ते व्ययभवनादसत्सु वामम् । सत्स्वर्धं हसति तथैकराशिगानामेकोऽंशं हरति बली तथाह सत्यः

sarvārddhatricaraṇapañcaṣaṣṭhabhāgāḥ kṣīyante vyayabhavanādasatsu vāmam | satsvardhaṃ hasati tathaikarāśigānāmeko'ṃśaṃ harati balī tathāha satyaḥ

The whole, a half, a third, a quarter, a fifth and a sixth part are lost, ⟨reckoning⟩ from the 12th house in reverse order, in the case of malefics; for benefics half ⟨of that⟩ is lost. And among ⟨grahas⟩ standing in one and the same rāśi, the strong one alone takes away the portion — so Satya has said.

एकर्क्षोपगानां यो भवति बलाधिको विशेषेण । क्षपयति यथोक्तमंशं स एव नान्योऽपि तत्रस्थः

ekarkṣopagānāṃ yo bhavati balādhiko viśeṣeṇa | kṣapayati yathoktamaṃśaṃ sa eva nānyo'pi tatrasthaḥ

Among those occupying one and the same ⟨sign⟩, he who is markedly superior in strength — he alone diminishes ⟨the years⟩ by the portion stated, and no other, though it too stands there.

सार्द्धोदितोदितनवांशहतात्समस्ताद् भागोऽष्टयुक्तशतसङ्ख्य उपैति नाशम् । क्रूरे विलग्नसहिते विधिना त्वनेन सौम्येक्षिते दलमतः प्रलयं प्रयाति

sārddhoditoditanavāṃśahatātsamastād bhāgo'ṣṭayuktaśatasaṅkhya upaiti nāśam | krūre vilagnasahite vidhinā tvanena saumyekṣite dalamataḥ pralayaṃ prayāti

From the whole ⟨total⟩ multiplied by the risen navāṃśas ⟨with their half⟩, a part numbered one hundred and eight ⟨that is, a hundred-and-eighth part⟩ goes to destruction, when a malefic is joined to the ascendant — by this rule. But when ⟨that malefic is⟩ aspected by a benefic, half of this goes to dissolution.

लिप्तीभूतैर्लग्नभागैर्निहन्यादायुर्दायं खेचराणां पृथक्स्थम् । व्योमाकाशत्विन्दुपक्षैर्भजेत्तत् स्वायुर्दायाच्छोध्यमब्दादि लब्धम्

liptībhūtairlagnabhāgairnihanyādāyurdāyaṃ khecarāṇāṃ pṛthakstham | vyomākāśatvindupakṣairbhajettat svāyurdāyācchodhyamabdādi labdham

One should multiply the longevity ⟨-total⟩ of the grahas, taken separately, by the lagna's ⟨risen⟩ portions reduced to minutes; one should divide that by 21,600; the result, in years and the rest, is to be subtracted from one's own āyurdāya.

एतत् क्रूरे लग्नके सौम्यदृष्टे तस्मिन्पापे तत्फलार्द्धं विशोध्यम् । एतरायेनां शसञ्ज्ञे विधेयं पिण्डायुर्वत् कर्म नैसर्गिके च

etat krūre lagnake saumyadṛṣṭe tasminpāpe tatphalārddhaṃ viśodhyam | etarāyenāṃ śasañjñe vidheyaṃ piṇḍāyurvat karma naisargike ca

This ⟨holds⟩ when a malefic is in the lagna. When that malefic is aspected by a benefic, half of that result is to be subtracted. ⟨This same procedure⟩ is to be applied in the ⟨reckoning⟩ named aṃśa; and in the naisargika the operation is as in the piṇḍāyus.

आयुस्तथैतेषु बलाढ्यलग्ने विहाय राशीन् कृतलिप्तिकेऽत्र । भक्ते द्विशत्या फलमब्दपूर्वं यत्स्याद्विलग्नायुषि तच्च योज्यम्

āyustathaiteṣu balāḍhyalagne vihāya rāśīn kṛtaliptike'tra | bhakte dviśatyā phalamabdapūrvaṃ yatsyādvilagnāyuṣi tacca yojyam

Likewise for the longevity, when, among these, the lagna is strong: here, having discarded the ⟨completed⟩ signs and the remainder being reduced to minutes and divided by two hundred, whatever result arises in years and the rest — that too is to be added to the lagna's longevity.

लग्नराशिसमाश्चाब्दास्तन्मासाद्यनुपाततः । लग्नायुर्दायमिच्छन्ति होराशास्त्रविशारदाः

lagnarāśisamāścābdāstanmāsādyanupātataḥ | lagnāyurdāyamicchanti horāśāstraviśāradāḥ

The years are equal to ⟨the number of⟩ the lagna's rāśi, and the months and the rest ⟨are got⟩ from that by proportion. This the masters of horāśāstra hold to be the lagna's longevity-allotment.

क्रूरोदयास्तरिपुनीचखगोपगानां रिःफायमाननवरन्ध्रकलत्रगानाम् । कृत्वा यथाहरणषट्कमिनादिकानां लग्नायुषा सह युते यदि तुल्यमायुः

krūrodayāstaripunīcakhagopagānāṃ riḥphāyamānanavarandhrakalatragānām | kṛtvā yathāharaṇaṣaṭkaminādikānāṃ lagnāyuṣā saha yute yadi tulyamāyuḥ

Having made the sixfold reduction as stated for ⟨the grahas⟩ beginning with the Sun — for those in a malefic-rising, in setting, in an enemy's ⟨house⟩ and in debilitation, and for those standing in the 12th (riḥpha), the 11th (āya), the 10th (māna), the 9th, the 8th (randhra) and the 7th (kalatra) — when it is joined together with the lagna's longevity, ⟨that⟩ is the resulting longevity.

स्वमतेन किलाह जीवशर्मा ग्रहदायं परमायुषः स्वरांशम् । ग्रहभुक्तनवांशराशितुल्यं बहुसाम्यं समुपैति सत्यवाक्यम्

svamatena kilāha jīvaśarmā grahadāyaṃ paramāyuṣaḥ svarāṃśam | grahabhuktanavāṃśarāśitulyaṃ bahusāmyaṃ samupaiti satyavākyam

Jīvaśarman, they say, declared according to his own view that the graha's allotment is a ⟨sevenfold⟩ portion of the maximum longevity, equal to the ⟨number of the⟩ rāśi of the navāṃśa the graha has traversed; ⟨his view⟩ comes to much agreement with Satya's statement.

सत्योक्ते ग्रहमिष्टं लिप्तीकृत्वा शतद्वयेनाप्तम् । मण्डलभागविशुद्धेऽब्दाः स्युः शेषात्तु मासाद्याः

satyokte grahamiṣṭaṃ liptīkṛtvā śatadvayenāptam | maṇḍalabhāgaviśuddhe'bdāḥ syuḥ śeṣāttu māsādyāḥ

In ⟨the method⟩ stated by Satya: having reduced the desired graha ⟨'s longitude⟩ to minutes and divided by two hundred, and ⟨the quotient⟩ purified by the divisions of the circle ⟨twelve⟩, ⟨what stands⟩ are the years; from the remainder, the months and the rest.

स्वतुङ्गवक्रोपगतैस्त्रिसंगुणो द्विरुत्तमस्वांशकभत्रिभागगैः । इयान् विशेषस्तु भदन्तभाषिते समानमन्यत् प्रथमेऽप्युदीरितम्

svatuṅgavakropagataistrisaṃguṇo dviruttamasvāṃśakabhatribhāgagaiḥ | iyān viśeṣastu bhadantabhāṣite samānamanyat prathame'pyudīritam

For those ⟨grahas⟩ gone to their own exaltation or to retrogression, ⟨the allotment is⟩ trebled; doubled for those in the best ⟨vargottama⟩, in their own navāṃśa or in their own third part of a sign. This much alone is the difference in what Bhadanta has stated; the rest is the same as was declared in the first ⟨method⟩ too.

किन्त्वत्र भांशप्रतिमं ददाति वीर्यान्विता राशिसमं च होरा । क्रूरोदये योऽपचयः स नात्र कार्यं च नाब्दैः प्रथमोपदिष्टैः

kintvatra bhāṃśapratimaṃ dadāti vīryānvitā rāśisamaṃ ca horā | krūrodaye yo'pacayaḥ sa nātra kāryaṃ ca nābdaiḥ prathamopadiṣṭaiḥ

But here the horā ⟨the ascendant⟩ gives ⟨years⟩ matching its navāṃśa, and, when endowed with strength, equal to ⟨the number of⟩ the rāśi. And the diminution ⟨prescribed⟩ for a malefic rising is not ⟨made⟩ here; nor is anything to be done with the years taught at first.

सत्योपदेशो वरमत्र किन्तु कुर्वन्त्ययोग्यं बहुवर्गणाभिः । आचार्यकं त्वत्र बहुघ्नतायामेकं तु यद् भूरि तदेव कार्यम्

satyopadeśo varamatra kintu kurvantyayogyaṃ bahuvargaṇābhiḥ | ācāryakaṃ tvatra bahughnatāyāmekaṃ tu yad bhūri tadeva kāryam

Satya's teaching is the better one here; but ⟨some⟩ render it unserviceable by ⟨heaping on⟩ many vargas. The teacher's ⟨rule⟩ here, in the matter of manifold multiplication, is that only the one which is greatest (bhūri) — that very one is to be done.

दशगोशरबाणाद्रिवसुसायकरश्मयः दिननायकमुख्येषु निजतुङ्गगतेषु च

daśagośarabāṇādrivasusāyakaraśmayaḥ dinanāyakamukhyeṣu nijatuṅgagateṣu ca

Ten, one ⟨go⟩, five, five, seven, eight and five are the rays (raśmi) of ⟨the grahas⟩ headed by the lord of the day ⟨the Sun⟩, when they stand in their own exaltation.

स्वोच्चोनमिष्टखचरं यदि षड्गृहोनं चक्राद्विशोध्य कृतलिप्तकमंशुमानैः ॥ हत्वा भचक्रकलिकाहृतमब्दपूर्वं रव्यादिरश्मिजनितायुरिति ब्रुवन्ति

svocconamiṣṭakhacaraṃ yadi ṣaḍgṛhonaṃ cakrādviśodhya kṛtaliptakamaṃśumānaiḥ || hatvā bhacakrakalikāhṛtamabdapūrvaṃ ravyādiraśmijanitāyuriti bruvanti

The desired graha diminished by its own exaltation — if it is less than six signs, having subtracted it from the circle — is reduced to minutes and multiplied by the ray-measures (aṃśumāna); that divided by the minutes of the zodiac circle gives, in years and the rest, what they call the longevity produced from the rays of ⟨the grahas⟩ beginning with the Sun.

स्वराशितुङ्गातिसुहृद्गृहस्थे वक्रोपगे तद्द्विगुणीकृतांशुः । वक्रावसानेऽष्टमभागवर्ज्या सपत्नगे द्वादशभागहानिः

svarāśituṅgātisuhṛdgṛhasthe vakropage taddviguṇīkṛtāṃśuḥ | vakrāvasāne'ṣṭamabhāgavarjyā sapatnage dvādaśabhāgahāniḥ

For a ⟨graha⟩ standing in its own rāśi, in exaltation (tuṅga) or in a great friend's house and gone retrograde, its rays (aṃśu) are then doubled. At the end of retrogression, an eighth part is to be taken off (varjyā); for one gone into a rival's ⟨house⟩, a loss of a twelfth part.

अस्तङ्गतेषु द्युचरेषु चार्द्धं हित्वा शनिं दानवपूजितं च । तद्रश्मियोगे ग्रहदत्तमायुर्महेन्द्रशास्त्रोदितमाहुरार्याः

astaṅgateṣu dyucareṣu cārddhaṃ hitvā śaniṃ dānavapūjitaṃ ca | tadraśmiyoge grahadattamāyurmahendraśāstroditamāhurāryāḥ

And for grahas gone to setting ⟨combustion⟩, half ⟨is lost⟩ — leaving aside Saturn and the one worshipped by the dānavas ⟨Venus⟩. When those rays are combined, the longevity given by the grahas is what the noble ones declare to have been stated in the śāstra of Mahendra.

रव्यादिसप्तग्रहतारकांशभुक्तावशेषाब्दसमूहमायुः । सव्यापसव्योपगवाक्यजं वा वदन्ति चक्रायुरिनादिकानाम्

ravyādisaptagrahatārakāṃśabhuktāvaśeṣābdasamūhamāyuḥ | savyāpasavyopagavākyajaṃ vā vadanti cakrāyurinādikānām

The longevity is the aggregate of the years remaining ⟨after⟩ what has been traversed of the nakṣatra-portions of the seven grahas beginning with the Sun; or ⟨what is⟩ produced from the rule for ⟨grahas⟩ moving direct and reverse — that they call the cakra-longevity of ⟨the grahas⟩ beginning with the Sun.

आदित्यमुख्यनवखेचरयोगताराभुक्तावशिष्टघटिकाजनिवत्सराद्यम् । आयुर्दशाजनितमष्टकवर्गजातं यत्प्रोक्तमेव सकलं प्रवदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

ādityamukhyanavakhecarayogatārābhuktāvaśiṣṭaghaṭikājanivatsarādyam | āyurdaśājanitamaṣṭakavargajātaṃ yatproktameva sakalaṃ pravadanti tajjñāḥ

⟨The longevity⟩ in years and the rest born from the ghaṭikās remaining ⟨after⟩ what has been traversed of the yoga-star of the nine grahas headed by the Sun; the longevity produced from the daśās; ⟨and⟩ that born of the aṣṭakavarga — all of it, just as it has been declared, those who know it proclaim.

रवौ पिण्डोद्भवं कुर्याच्चन्द्रे नैसर्गिकं क्रमात्

ravau piṇḍodbhavaṃ kuryāccandre naisargikaṃ kramāt

When ⟨the Sun is strongest⟩, one should apply the piṇḍa-born ⟨longevity⟩; when the Moon ⟨is strongest⟩, the naisargika — in that order.

उच्चङ्गते रवौ चान्ये बलिष्ठाः केन्द्रकोणगाः । सर्वेषु स्वोच्चभावेषु बलिष्ठे शशहंसके

uccaṅgate ravau cānye baliṣṭhāḥ kendrakoṇagāḥ | sarveṣu svoccabhāveṣu baliṣṭhe śaśahaṃsake

⟨When⟩ the Sun has gone to exaltation and the others are strong, standing in kendras and trikoṇas; when all are in their own exaltation-bhāvas; when Śaśa and Haṃsa ⟨yogas⟩ are strong —

एवं चिरायुषां योगेष्वन्येषु गणितेषु च । चान्द्रयोगेषु तुर्ये तु चन्द्रे च बलसंयुते

evaṃ cirāyuṣāṃ yogeṣvanyeṣu gaṇiteṣu ca | cāndrayogeṣu turye tu candre ca balasaṃyute

— thus, in the ⟨combinations⟩ of those of long life, and in other yogas and in the calculated ⟨reckonings⟩; among the lunar yogas; and when the Moon is in the fourth ⟨house⟩ and joined with strength.

महापुरुषयोगेषु वीर्योत्कटयुतेषु च । राजयोगेषु सर्वेषु पैण्ड्यमाह पराशरः

mahāpuruṣayogeṣu vīryotkaṭayuteṣu ca | rājayogeṣu sarveṣu paiṇḍyamāha parāśaraḥ

In the mahāpuruṣa yogas, in ⟨those⟩ joined with grahas of surpassing strength, and in all the rājayogas, Parāśara has declared the piṇḍa ⟨reckoning of longevity⟩.

लग्ने गुरौ कर्मगते च भानौ चन्द्रे सुखे वाऽस्तगते बलाढ्ये । केन्द्रत्रिकोणोपचये च सौम्ये पापेष्वथापोक्लिमगेषु पैण्ड्यम्

lagne gurau karmagate ca bhānau candre sukhe vā'stagate balāḍhye | kendratrikoṇopacaye ca saumye pāpeṣvathāpoklimageṣu paiṇḍyam

When Jupiter is in the lagna, the Sun gone to the 10th (karma), the Moon strong in the 4th (sukha) or in the 7th (asta), the benefics in kendras, trikoṇas and upacayas, and the malefics in the āpoklimas — ⟨then⟩ the piṇḍa ⟨reckoning applies⟩.

पैण्ड्यं भानौ निसर्गप्रभवमुडुपतौ रश्मिजं सोमपुत्रे भौमे भिन्नाष्टवर्गोदितमसुरगुरौ कालचक्रोद्भवायुः । देवाचार्ये दशायुर्दिनकरतनये सामुदायं बलिष्ठे लग्ने यद्यंशकायुर्भवति बलयुते चाहुराचार्यमुख्याः

paiṇḍyaṃ bhānau nisargaprabhavamuḍupatau raśmijaṃ somaputre bhaume bhinnāṣṭavargoditamasuragurau kālacakrodbhavāyuḥ | devācārye daśāyurdinakaratanaye sāmudāyaṃ baliṣṭhe lagne yadyaṃśakāyurbhavati balayute cāhurācāryamukhyāḥ

The piṇḍa ⟨reckoning⟩ when the Sun ⟨is strongest⟩; that born of nature (naisargika) when the lord of the stars ⟨the Moon⟩; that born of the rays (raśmi) when the Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩; that declared from the bhinnāṣṭakavarga when Mars; the longevity arising from the kālacakra when the preceptor of the asuras ⟨Venus⟩; the daśā-longevity when the preceptor of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩; the collective ⟨aṣṭakavarga⟩ longevity (sāmudāya) when the son of the day-maker ⟨Saturn⟩; and if the lagna is the strongest and joined with strength, it is the aṃśa-longevity — so say the foremost of the ācāryas.

आयुरब्दादिकं सर्वं निश्चलेन गुणीकृतम् । मातङ्गेन हृतं लब्धं सौरमानायुरुच्यते

āyurabdādikaṃ sarvaṃ niścalena guṇīkṛtam | mātaṅgena hṛtaṃ labdhaṃ sauramānāyurucyate

The whole lifespan ⟨reckoned⟩ in years and the rest, multiplied by niścala and divided by mātaṅga — what is obtained is called the lifespan by the solar measure (saura-māna).

ये धर्ममार्गनिरता द्विजदेवभक्ता ये पथ्यभोजनरता विजितेन्द्रियाश्च । ये मानवा दधति सत्कुलशीलसीमास्तेषामिदं कथितमायुरुदारधीभिः

ye dharmamārganiratā dvijadevabhaktā ye pathyabhojanaratā vijitendriyāśca | ye mānavā dadhati satkulaśīlasīmāsteṣāmidaṃ kathitamāyurudāradhībhiḥ

Those who are devoted to the path of dharma, devoted to the twice-born and to the gods; those who delight in wholesome food and have conquered their senses; those men who keep to the bounds of good lineage and character — for them this ⟨full⟩ lifespan has been declared by the noble-minded.

ये पापलुब्धाश्चोराश्च देवब्राह्मणनिन्दकाः । सर्वाशिनश्च ये तेषामकालमरणं नृणाम्

ye pāpalubdhāścorāśca devabrāhmaṇanindakāḥ | sarvāśinaśca ye teṣāmakālamaraṇaṃ nṛṇām

Those who are greedy for sin, and thieves, and revilers of the gods and of brāhmaṇas, and those who eat anything whatever — for such men ⟨comes⟩ untimely death.

धर्मे विकल्पबुद्धीनां दुःशीलानां च विद्विषाम् । ब्राह्मणानां च देवानां परद्रव्यापहारिणाम्

dharme vikalpabuddhīnāṃ duḥśīlānāṃ ca vidviṣām | brāhmaṇānāṃ ca devānāṃ paradravyāpahāriṇām

Of those whose minds waver in dharma, of the ill-conducted, of those who hate brāhmaṇas and the gods, of those who carry off the property of others —

भयङ्कराणां सर्वेषां मूर्खाणां पिशुनस्य च । स्वधर्माचारहीनानां पापकर्मोपजीविनाम्

bhayaṅkarāṇāṃ sarveṣāṃ mūrkhāṇāṃ piśunasya ca | svadharmācārahīnānāṃ pāpakarmopajīvinām

of all who are a terror ⟨to others⟩, of fools, and of the slanderer, of those bereft of the observance of their own dharma, of those who live by sinful deeds —

शास्त्रेष्वनियतानां च मूढानामपमृत्यवः । अन्येषामुत्तमायुः स्यादिति शास्त्रविदो विदुः

śāstreṣvaniyatānāṃ ca mūḍhānāmapamṛtyavaḥ | anyeṣāmuttamāyuḥ syāditi śāstravido viduḥ

and of the deluded who keep to no rule in the śāstras — ⟨for these there are⟩ untimely deaths (apamṛtyu). For the others there is excellent longevity: thus the knowers of the śāstras understand.

गृध्रोलूकशुकध्वाङ्क्षसर्पाणां च सहस्रकम् । श्येनवानरभल्लुकमण्डूकानां शतत्रयम्

gṛdhrolūkaśukadhvāṅkṣasarpāṇāṃ ca sahasrakam | śyenavānarabhallukamaṇḍūkānāṃ śatatrayam

For the vulture, the owl, the parrot, the crow and the serpent, a thousand ⟨years⟩; for the hawk, the monkey, the bear (bhalluka) and the frog, three hundred.

पञ्चाशदुत्तरशतं राक्षसानां प्रकीर्तितम् । नराणां कुञ्जराणां च विंशोत्तरशतं विदुः

pañcāśaduttaraśataṃ rākṣasānāṃ prakīrtitam | narāṇāṃ kuñjarāṇāṃ ca viṃśottaraśataṃ viduḥ

A hundred and fifty is declared for the rākṣasas; for men and for elephants they know it to be a hundred and twenty.

द्वात्रिंशदायुरश्वानां पञ्चविंशत् खरोष्ट्रयोः । वृषमाहिषयोश्चैव चतुर्विंशतिवत्सराः

dvātriṃśadāyuraśvānāṃ pañcaviṃśat kharoṣṭrayoḥ | vṛṣamāhiṣayoścaiva caturviṃśativatsarāḥ

The lifespan of horses is thirty-two; of the ass and the camel, twenty-five; and of the bull and the buffalo, twenty-four years.

विंशत्यायुर्मयूराणां छागादीनां च षोडश । हंसस्य पञ्चनवकं द्वादशाब्दाः पिकाः शुकाः

viṃśatyāyurmayūrāṇāṃ chāgādīnāṃ ca ṣoḍaśa | haṃsasya pañcanavakaṃ dvādaśābdāḥ pikāḥ śukāḥ

The lifespan of peacocks is twenty; of goats and the like, sixteen. For the goose, five nines ⟨forty-five⟩; the cuckoo and the parrot ⟨live⟩ twelve years.

तद्वत्पारावतानां च कुक्कुटस्याष्टवत्सराः । बुद्बुदानामण्डजानां सप्तसङ्ख्याः समाः स्मृताः

tadvatpārāvatānāṃ ca kukkuṭasyāṣṭavatsarāḥ | budbudānāmaṇḍajānāṃ saptasaṅkhyāḥ samāḥ smṛtāḥ

Likewise for pigeons; for the cock, eight years. For budbudas and ⟨other⟩ egg-born creatures, years numbering seven are recorded.

त्रिमण्डलेष्वथैकस्मिन् पापस्तिष्ठति दुर्बलः । न सौम्यग्रहसंयुक्तस्तद्दशान्ते मृतिं वदेत्

trimaṇḍaleṣvathaikasmin pāpastiṣṭhati durbalaḥ | na saumyagrahasaṃyuktastaddaśānte mṛtiṃ vadet

If a weak malefic stands in one of the three maṇḍalas and is not joined with a benefic graha, one should declare death at the end of its daśā.

राशिसन्धिस्थखेटानां दशा रोगप्रदा भवेत् । त्रिंशद्भागमनुक्रान्तदशायां मरणं नृणाम्

rāśisandhisthakheṭānāṃ daśā rogapradā bhavet | triṃśadbhāgamanukrāntadaśāyāṃ maraṇaṃ nṛṇām

The daśā of grahas standing at a junction of signs (rāśi-sandhi) brings disease; in the daśā of ⟨a graha⟩ that has passed the thirtieth degree, death for men.

षष्ठाष्टमस्थो रिपुदृष्टमूर्त्तिः पापग्रहः पापगृहोपगश्चेत् । स्वान्तर्दशायां मरणं नराणां वदन्ति युद्धे विजितस्य दाये

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamastho ripudṛṣṭamūrttiḥ pāpagrahaḥ pāpagṛhopagaścet | svāntardaśāyāṃ maraṇaṃ narāṇāṃ vadanti yuddhe vijitasya dāye

If a malefic graha stands in the 6th or the 8th, its body aspected by an enemy, and is lodged in a malefic's house, they declare death for men in its own antardaśā — and ⟨likewise⟩ in the daśā of the one vanquished in ⟨planetary⟩ war (yuddha).

पञ्चम्यारदशा मृत्युं दद्यात्षष्ठी गुरोर्दशा । शनेश्चतुर्थी मृत्युः स्याद्दशा राहोस्तु पञ्चमी

pañcamyāradaśā mṛtyuṃ dadyātṣaṣṭhī gurordaśā | śaneścaturthī mṛtyuḥ syāddaśā rāhostu pañcamī

The fifth daśā of Mars gives death; the sixth daśā of Jupiter; the fourth of Saturn brings death; and of Rāhu the fifth daśā.

नीचारातिविमूढस्य विपत्प्रत्यरिनैधनाः । दशा दद्युर्मृतिं तस्य पापयुक्ता विशेषतः

nīcārātivimūḍhasya vipatpratyarinaidhanāḥ | daśā dadyurmṛtiṃ tasya pāpayuktā viśeṣataḥ

For ⟨a graha⟩ debilitated, in an enemy's ⟨sign⟩, or combust (vimūḍha), the vipat, pratyari and naidhana daśās give death — especially when it is joined with a malefic.

तत्तद्भावार्थकामेशदशास्वन्तर्दशासु च । तत्तद्भावविनाशः स्यात् तद्युक्तेक्षितकारकैः

tattadbhāvārthakāmeśadaśāsvantardaśāsu ca | tattadbhāvavināśaḥ syāt tadyuktekṣitakārakaiḥ

In the daśās and antardaśās of the lords of the artha ⟨2nd⟩ and the kāma ⟨7th⟩ ⟨reckoned⟩ from each several house, there is destruction of that house — ⟨and so too⟩ by the grahas joined with or aspecting them, and by the kārakas.

अष्टमस्य त्रिभागांशपतिस्थितगृहं शनौ । तदीशानवभागर्क्ष गते वा मरणं भवेत्

aṣṭamasya tribhāgāṃśapatisthitagṛhaṃ śanau | tadīśānavabhāgarkṣa gate vā maraṇaṃ bhavet

When Saturn comes to the house occupied by the lord of the third-part ⟨drekkāṇa⟩ of the 8th, or to the sign of that lord's navāṃśa, death occurs.

रन्ध्रेश्वरो रन्ध्रयुक्तो रन्ध्रद्रष्टा खरेश्वरः । रन्ध्राधिपयुतश्चैव चतुःषष्ट्यंशनायकः

randhreśvaro randhrayukto randhradraṣṭā khareśvaraḥ | randhrādhipayutaścaiva catuḥṣaṣṭyaṃśanāyakaḥ

The lord of the 8th (randhra), the graha joined with the 8th, the graha aspecting the 8th, the lord of the khara ⟨the 22nd drekkāṇa⟩, the graha joined with the lord of the 8th, the lord of the sixty-fourth navāṃśa,

रन्ध्रेश्वरातिशत्रुश्च सप्त च्छिद्रग्रहाः स्मृताः । तेषां मध्ये बली यस्तु तस्य दाये मृतिं वदेत्

randhreśvarātiśatruśca sapta cchidragrahāḥ smṛtāḥ | teṣāṃ madhye balī yastu tasya dāye mṛtiṃ vadet

and the arch-enemy of the lord of the 8th — these seven are recorded as the chidra-grahas ⟨the grahas of the breach⟩. Among them, in the daśā of whichever is strongest, one should declare death.

तत्तद्भावाद्व्ययस्थस्य तद्भावाधीश्वरस्य वा । वीर्योपेतस्य खेटस्य पाके मृत्युर्न संशयः

tattadbhāvādvyayasthasya tadbhāvādhīśvarasya vā | vīryopetasya kheṭasya pāke mṛtyurna saṃśayaḥ

In the daśā (pāka) of a graha endowed with strength that stands in the 12th (vyaya) from each several house, or of the lord of that house, death ⟨follows⟩ — there is no doubt.

कुलीरमीनालिगता दृगाणाः मध्यावसानप्रथमा भुजङ्गाः । अलिद्वितीयो मृगलेयपूर्वः क्रमेण पाशो निगडो विहङ्गः

kulīramīnāligatā dṛgāṇāḥ madhyāvasānaprathamā bhujaṅgāḥ | alidvitīyo mṛgaleyapūrvaḥ krameṇa pāśo nigaḍo vihaṅgaḥ

The drekkāṇas falling in Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio — the middle, the last and the first respectively — are the serpents (bhujaṅga). The second of Scorpio, and the first of Capricorn and of Leo, are in order the noose (pāśa), the fetter (nigaḍa) and the bird (vihaṅga).

विलग्नजन्मद्रेक्काणाद्यस्तु द्वाविंशतिः खरः । सुधाकरोपगांशर्क्षात् चतुःषष्ट्यंशको भवेत्

vilagnajanmadrekkāṇādyastu dvāviṃśatiḥ kharaḥ | sudhākaropagāṃśarkṣāt catuḥṣaṣṭyaṃśako bhavet

That which is the twenty-second from the drekkāṇa of the natal ascendant is the khara; and from the navāṃśa sign occupied by the Moon (sudhākara) is reckoned the sixty-fourth navāṃśa (catuḥṣaṣṭyaṃśa).

लग्नं पञ्चहतं च मान्दिसहितं प्राणस्फुटं प्राणिनाम् चन्द्रस्य स्फुटमष्टकेन गुणितं देहं समान्दिस्फुटम् । सप्तघ्नं गुलिकस्फुटं सह दिवानाथेन मृत्युर्भवेत् तस्माज्जीवकलेवरैक्यविपुले जातश्चिरं जीवति

lagnaṃ pañcahataṃ ca māndisahitaṃ prāṇasphuṭaṃ prāṇinām candrasya sphuṭamaṣṭakena guṇitaṃ dehaṃ samāndisphuṭam | saptaghnaṃ gulikasphuṭaṃ saha divānāthena mṛtyurbhavet tasmājjīvakalevaraikyavipule jātaściraṃ jīvati

The lagna multiplied by five and joined with Māndi is the prāṇa-sphuṭa of living beings; the Moon's longitude multiplied by eight, with Māndi's longitude added, is the deha ⟨-sphuṭa⟩; the longitude of Gulika multiplied by seven, together with the lord of the day ⟨the Sun⟩, is the mṛtyu ⟨-sphuṭa⟩. Therefore, when the sum of the jīva ⟨prāṇa⟩ and the kalevara ⟨deha⟩ is large, the native born lives long.

जीवमृत्युतनुयोगराशिगे गोचरेण रविजे धनक्षयः । तन्त्रिकोणगृहगेऽथवा नृणां तन्नवांशकयुते मृतिं वदेत्

jīvamṛtyutanuyogarāśige gocareṇa ravije dhanakṣayaḥ | tantrikoṇagṛhage'thavā nṛṇāṃ tannavāṃśakayute mṛtiṃ vadet

When Saturn (the son of the Sun) comes by transit (gocara) to the sign of the sum of the jīva ⟨prāṇa⟩, mṛtyu and tanu ⟨deha⟩ ⟨sphuṭas⟩, there is loss of wealth; or when he goes to a house in trine to it, and is joined with the navāṃśa of that, one should declare death for men.

भावत्रिकोणगे मन्दे भावनाशं वदेद्वुधः । भावाधिपतिकोणे वा गुरौ प्राप्ते मृतिर्भवेत्

bhāvatrikoṇage mande bhāvanāśaṃ vadedvudhaḥ | bhāvādhipatikoṇe vā gurau prāpte mṛtirbhavet

When Saturn (manda) goes to a trikoṇa of a house (bhāva), the wise man should declare the destruction (nāśa) of that house; or when Jupiter arrives at a trine from the lord of that house, death occurs.

लग्नार्कमान्दिस्फुटयोगराशेरधीश्वरो यद्भवनोपगस्तु । तद्राशिसंस्थे पुरुहूतवन्द्ये तत्कोणगे वा मृतिमेति जातः

lagnārkamāndisphuṭayogarāśeradhīśvaro yadbhavanopagastu | tadrāśisaṃsthe puruhūtavandye tatkoṇage vā mṛtimeti jātaḥ

The lord of the sign ⟨formed by⟩ the sum of the sphuṭas of the lagna, the Sun (arka) and Māndi occupies some house; when he who is to be revered by Puruhūta ⟨Indra⟩ stands in that sign, or goes to a trine from it, the native meets death.

स्फुटे विलग्ननाथस्य विशोध्य यमकण्टकम् । तद्राशिनवभागस्थे जीवे मृत्युर्न संशयः

sphuṭe vilagnanāthasya viśodhya yamakaṇṭakam | tadrāśinavabhāgasthe jīve mṛtyurna saṃśayaḥ

Having subtracted Yamakaṇṭaka from the sphuṭa (exact longitude) of the lord of the lagna, when Jupiter stands in the navāṃśa of the ⟨resulting⟩ sign, death is beyond doubt.

मान्दिस्फुटे भानुसुतं विशोध्य राश्यंशकोणे रविजे मृतिः स्यात् । धूमादिपञ्चग्रहयोगराशिद्रेक्काणयातेऽर्कसुते च मृत्युः

māndisphuṭe bhānusutaṃ viśodhya rāśyaṃśakoṇe ravije mṛtiḥ syāt | dhūmādipañcagrahayogarāśidrekkāṇayāte'rkasute ca mṛtyuḥ

Having subtracted the sphuṭa of Saturn (the Sun's son) from Māndi's sphuṭa, when Saturn (the Sun-born) stands in the rāśi, the aṃśa or a trine ⟨of the result⟩, death occurs. And when Saturn (the Sun's son) has gone to the drekkāṇa of the sign of the sum of the five grahas beginning with Dhūma, death ⟨likewise⟩.

मान्दिस्फुटोदितनवांशगतेऽमरेज्ये तद्द्वादशांशसहिते दिननाथसूनौ । द्रेक्काणकोणभवने दिनपे च मृत्युर्लग्नेन्दुमान्दियुतभेंऽशगतोदये स्यात्

māndisphuṭoditanavāṃśagate'marejye taddvādaśāṃśasahite dinanāthasūnau | drekkāṇakoṇabhavane dinape ca mṛtyurlagnendumāndiyutabheṃ'śagatodaye syāt

When Jupiter (the immortals' preceptor) has gone to the navāṃśa arising from Māndi's sphuṭa; when Saturn (the day-lord's son) is together with the dvādaśāṃśa of that; and when the Sun (the lord of day) is in the house that is the trine of that drekkāṇa — death. And it comes to pass when the rising ⟨lagna⟩ has gone to the aṃśa in the sign formed by the lagna, the Moon and Māndi joined together.

विलग्नमान्दिस्फुटयोगमांशं निर्याणमांसं प्रवदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः । निर्याणचन्द्रो गुलिकेन्दुयोगो लग्नं विलग्नार्क्किसुतेन्दुयोगम्

vilagnamāndisphuṭayogamāṃśaṃ niryāṇamāṃsaṃ pravadanti tajjñāḥ | niryāṇacandro gulikenduyogo lagnaṃ vilagnārkkisutenduyogam

The aṃśa of the sum of the lagna and Māndi's sphuṭa the knowers of it call the niryāṇa (departure) aṃśa. The niryāṇa Moon is the sum of Gulika and the Moon; the ⟨niryāṇa⟩ lagna is the sum of the lagna, Saturn's son ⟨Gulika⟩ and the Moon.

गुलिकं रविसूनुं च गुणित्वा नवसङ्ख्यया । उभयोरैक्यराश्यंशगृहगे रविजे मृतिः

gulikaṃ ravisūnuṃ ca guṇitvā navasaṅkhyayā | ubhayoraikyarāśyaṃśagṛhage ravije mṛtiḥ

Having multiplied Gulika and Saturn (the Sun's son) by the number nine, when Saturn comes to the house of the sign or aṃśa of the sum of the two, death.

षष्ठावसानरन्ध्रेशस्फुटैक्यभवनं गते । तत्रिकोणोपगे वाऽपि मन्दे मृत्युभयं नृणाम्

ṣaṣṭhāvasānarandhreśasphuṭaikyabhavanaṃ gate | tatrikoṇopage vā'pi mande mṛtyubhayaṃ nṛṇām

When Saturn goes to the sign of the sum of the sphuṭas of the lords of the 6th, of the 12th (avasāna, the ending) and of the 8th (randhra), or even to a trine from it, there is danger of death for men.

जीवे नन्दहते विरिञ्चिगुणितं मन्दं च मान्दिस्फुटम् संयोज्यं पुनरङ्कवृद्धिभिनजं मन्दात्मजं योजयेत् ॥ तद्देवेशपुरोहितस्फुटचयप्राप्तं नवांशं गते जीवे गोचरगे यदा यदि नृणां निर्याणकालो भवेत्

jīve nandahate viriñciguṇitaṃ mandaṃ ca māndisphuṭam saṃyojyaṃ punaraṅkavṛddhibhinajaṃ mandātmajaṃ yojayet || taddeveśapurohitasphuṭacayaprāptaṃ navāṃśaṃ gate jīve gocarage yadā yadi nṛṇāṃ niryāṇakālo bhavet

Jupiter multiplied by Nanda ⟨nine⟩, Saturn multiplied by Viriñci ⟨Brahmā⟩, and Māndi's sphuṭa are to be added together; then one should further add Saturn's son ⟨Gulika⟩ ⟨multiplied⟩ by aṅka-vṛddhi ⟨aṅka is a number-word for nine; the word after it, bhinajaṃ, is corrupt and not recovered⟩. Of that ⟨total⟩ taken with the sum of the sphuṭa of the gods' priest ⟨Jupiter⟩, the navāṃśa is obtained: when Jupiter in transit comes to it, that is the hour of men's departure.

भानुस्फुटे नवहते रविजं च मान्दिं हत्वा ग्रहैस्तदिनराशिगणेषु योज्यम् । मान्दिं पुनश्च नवकेन हतं च युञ्ज्यात् तद्राशिकांशगतपूषणि मृत्युकालः

bhānusphuṭe navahate ravijaṃ ca māndiṃ hatvā grahaistadinarāśigaṇeṣu yojyam | māndiṃ punaśca navakena hataṃ ca yuñjyāt tadrāśikāṃśagatapūṣaṇi mṛtyukālaḥ

The Sun's sphuṭa being multiplied by nine, and Saturn and Māndi being multiplied by the grahas ⟨nine⟩, they are to be added to the reckoned signs of that day; and Māndi again, multiplied by nine, is to be joined ⟨to it⟩. When the Sun (Pūṣan) has gone to the aṃśa of that sign, that is the hour of death.

सुतेशसंयुक्तनभश्चराणाम् दशाब्दसङ्ख्या दिननायकाप्ताः । तच्छेषिते मासि मृतिं नराणां वदन्ति लग्नेशयुतग्रहैर्वा

suteśasaṃyuktanabhaścarāṇām daśābdasaṅkhyā dinanāyakāptāḥ | taccheṣite māsi mṛtiṃ narāṇāṃ vadanti lagneśayutagrahairvā

The number of daśā-years of the grahas conjoined with the lord of the 5th, divided by ⟨the number of⟩ the lord of day ⟨the Sun — twelve⟩: in the month ⟨shown by⟩ the remainder they declare the death of men; or ⟨by the same reckoning⟩ from the grahas joined with the lord of the lagna.

चन्द्रस्फुटे नवकसङ्गुणिते तु मान्दिं मन्दं च नन्दहतमिन्दुनियोजनीयम् । कृत्वा पुनर्नवहतार्कसुतं समेतं यत्तन्नवांशकशशी मरणप्रदः स्यात्

candrasphuṭe navakasaṅguṇite tu māndiṃ mandaṃ ca nandahataminduniyojanīyam | kṛtvā punarnavahatārkasutaṃ sametaṃ yattannavāṃśakaśaśī maraṇapradaḥ syāt

The Moon's sphuṭa being multiplied by nine, Māndi and Saturn, each multiplied by Nanda ⟨nine⟩, are to be joined to the Moon; and having again added Saturn (the Sun's son) multiplied by nine, the Moon in the navāṃśa of that ⟨total⟩ becomes the giver of death.

जातोऽह्नि चेदर्कशनिस्फुटैक्यतारादिनिर्याणदशा प्रकल्प्या । तारेशराहुस्फुटयोगतारापूर्वा दशाऽनिष्टकरा रजन्याम्

jāto'hni cedarkaśanisphuṭaikyatārādiniryāṇadaśā prakalpyā | tāreśarāhusphuṭayogatārāpūrvā daśā'niṣṭakarā rajanyām

If ⟨the native⟩ is born by day, the niryāṇa daśā is to be reckoned from the nakṣatra and the rest of the sum of the sphuṭas of the Sun and Saturn. For a night ⟨birth⟩, the daśā beginning from the nakṣatra of the sum of the sphuṭas of the lord of the stars ⟨the Moon⟩ and Rāhu is the one that works evil.

उदयाद्द्वाविंशतिकं द्रेक्काणं कारणं मृत्योः । तस्याधिपस्य निर्याणं सूचयेद्विधिवत्तमः

udayāddvāviṃśatikaṃ drekkāṇaṃ kāraṇaṃ mṛtyoḥ | tasyādhipasya niryāṇaṃ sūcayedvidhivattamaḥ

The twenty-second drekkāṇa from the rising ⟨drekkāṇa⟩ is the cause of death; by its lord the most rule-abiding ⟨of astrologers⟩ should duly indicate the departure.

ज्ञेया जन्मनि यन्नवांशकगतो मान्दिस्तदीयास्तके राशौ तिष्ठति चेत् शुभस्तु बलवान् सौख्येन नूनं मृतिः । भूपुत्रे समरेण सूर्यतनये चोरादिभिर्दानवैः सर्पाद्यैश्च तथा रवौ नृपभयात्क्षीणोडुपे तोयजात्

jñeyā janmani yannavāṃśakagato māndistadīyāstake rāśau tiṣṭhati cet śubhastu balavān saukhyena nūnaṃ mṛtiḥ | bhūputre samareṇa sūryatanaye corādibhirdānavaiḥ sarpādyaiśca tathā ravau nṛpabhayātkṣīṇoḍupe toyajāt

In the birth ⟨chart⟩ the navāṃśa Māndi occupies is to be known: if a strong benefic then stands in the sign that is its setting ⟨the 7th from it⟩, death is surely with ease. If Mars (the son of Earth), by battle; if Saturn (the Sun's son), by thieves and the like; by demons and by serpents and such; likewise, if the Sun, from terror of the king; and when the Moon is waning, from water.

रन्ध्रं येन निरीक्षितं बलवता तद्धातुकोपान्मृतिः सूर्यादग्निजलायुधज्वरकफक्षुत्तृट्कृतैश्चामयैः । लग्नादष्टमधामपे तनुगते कालस्य यद्देहजैः छिद्राम्शे च चरस्थिरोभयगते देशान्तरे स्वे पथि

randhraṃ yena nirīkṣitaṃ balavatā taddhātukopānmṛtiḥ sūryādagnijalāyudhajvarakaphakṣuttṛṭkṛtaiścāmayaiḥ | lagnādaṣṭamadhāmape tanugate kālasya yaddehajaiḥ chidrāmśe ca carasthirobhayagate deśāntare sve pathi

Whichever strong graha aspects the 8th house — death is from the disorder of that graha's own dhātu: from the Sun onward, by fire, water, weapons, fever, phlegm, hunger and thirst, and by the diseases these make. When the lord of the 8th house from the lagna is in the 1st, ⟨death is⟩ by ailments born of the body itself. And as the aṃśa of the 8th (chidra) falls in a movable, a fixed or a dual ⟨sign⟩, ⟨death comes⟩ in a foreign country, in one's own ⟨place⟩, or on the road.

शून्यागारे रन्ध्रराशौ बलिष्ठैरादित्याद्यैर्वीक्षिते खेचरेन्द्रैः । नो चेच्छिद्रस्थानयातैश्च नो चेत् तद्द्रेक्काणस्वामिना मृत्युमेति

śūnyāgāre randhrarāśau baliṣṭhairādityādyairvīkṣite khecarendraiḥ | no cecchidrasthānayātaiśca no cet taddrekkāṇasvāminā mṛtyumeti

When the sign of the 8th is an empty house, ⟨death comes⟩ through the strongest among the sky-going grahas beginning with the Sun that aspect it; if there is none, through those that occupy the 8th place; if there is none there either, he meets death through the lord of that drekkāṇa.

रव्यादिखेटनिजधातुभवामयेन जातस्तदीयखलकिंकरपीडया वा । रन्ध्रे शुभग्रहयुते तु विलापहेतुं सौख्येन मृत्युमुपयाति शुभोपयाते

ravyādikheṭanijadhātubhavāmayena jātastadīyakhalakiṃkarapīḍayā vā | randhre śubhagrahayute tu vilāpahetuṃ saukhyena mṛtyumupayāti śubhopayāte

The native ⟨dies⟩ of a disease arising from the dhātu proper to that graha among the Sun and the rest, or by the affliction wrought by that ⟨graha's⟩ wicked servants. But when the 8th is joined with a benefic and is aspected by benefics, he goes to death in comfort, ⟨free of⟩ cause for lamentation.

तुलायां रुधिरे प्राप्ते वृषभस्थे दिवाकरे । चन्द्रे मन्दगृहं प्राप्ते विण्मध्ये मरणं भवेत्

tulāyāṃ rudhire prāpte vṛṣabhasthe divākare | candre mandagṛhaṃ prāpte viṇmadhye maraṇaṃ bhavet

When Mars (the red one) has reached Libra, the Sun is in Taurus, and the Moon has reached a house of Saturn, death takes place in the midst of excrement.

बलिना शनिना दृष्टे क्षीणेन्दौ निधनाश्रिते । गुदाक्षिरुक्पीडया वा मृत्युः शस्त्रकृतो भवेत्

balinā śaninā dṛṣṭe kṣīṇendau nidhanāśrite | gudākṣirukpīḍayā vā mṛtyuḥ śastrakṛto bhavet

When the waning Moon occupies the 8th house and is aspected by a strong Saturn, death comes by the pain of disease of the anus and the eyes, or is wrought by a weapon.

लग्नाच्छिद्रत्रिकोणस्थैरर्कारार्किनिशाकरैः । मृत्युः स्याच्छैलपातेन वज्रकुड्यादिभिश्च वा

lagnācchidratrikoṇasthairarkārārkiniśākaraiḥ | mṛtyuḥ syācchailapātena vajrakuḍyādibhiśca vā

When the Sun, Mars, Saturn and the Moon stand in the 8th from the lagna and in the trines ⟨from it⟩, death occurs by a fall from a mountain, or by a thunderbolt, a wall and the like.

भौमारुणौ यदि परस्परराशियुक्तौ केन्द्रस्थितौ निधननायकखेचरेन्द्रात् । जातोऽवसानसमये क्षितिपालकोपात् शूलादिकायुधवरैर्निधनं समेति

bhaumāruṇau yadi paraspararāśiyuktau kendrasthitau nidhananāyakakhecarendrāt | jāto'vasānasamaye kṣitipālakopāt śūlādikāyudhavarairnidhanaṃ sameti

If Mars and the Sun are in each other's signs and placed in kendras from the graha that is lord of the 8th (nidhana), the native, at the time of his ending, meets his death from a king's wrath, by the spear and other choice weapons.

चन्द्रे तनौ दिनकरे विबलेऽष्टमस्थे लग्नाद्व्यये सुरगुरौ सुखगे च पापे । जातस्य तस्य शयनाच्च्युतहेतुमृत्युः शस्त्रेण वा निशि निषादकृतेन वा स्यात्

candre tanau dinakare vibale'ṣṭamasthe lagnādvyaye suragurau sukhage ca pāpe | jātasya tasya śayanāccyutahetumṛtyuḥ śastreṇa vā niśi niṣādakṛtena vā syāt

When the Moon is in the 1st, a weak Sun in the 8th, Jupiter (the gods' guru) in the 12th from the lagna, and a malefic in the 4th, that native's death is caused by falling from his bed, or by a weapon, or at night by the act of a Niṣāda ⟨a hunter of the forest tribes⟩.

लग्नेशे निधनांशस्थे मूढे षष्ठगतेऽथवा । क्षुद्वाधया च मरणं बन्धुहीने महीतले

lagneśe nidhanāṃśasthe mūḍhe ṣaṣṭhagate'thavā | kṣudvādhayā ca maraṇaṃ bandhuhīne mahītale

When the lord of the lagna is in the navāṃśa of the 8th, or combust, or gone to the 6th, death comes by the torment of hunger, on ground bereft of kinsmen.

आयुर्विलग्नाधिपती बलेन हीनौ धरासूनुरृणेशयुक्तः । युद्धे मृतिं तस्य वदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः शस्त्रेण जातस्य मृतिं विशेषः

āyurvilagnādhipatī balena hīnau dharāsūnurṛṇeśayuktaḥ | yuddhe mṛtiṃ tasya vadanti tajjñāḥ śastreṇa jātasya mṛtiṃ viśeṣaḥ

⟨When⟩ the lords of the 8th (āyus) and of the lagna are without strength, and Mars (the son of Earth) is joined with the lord of the 6th (the house of debt), the knowers declare his death in battle; and specifically, the native's death by a weapon.

लग्नेश्वरे वाहननाथयुक्ते वागीश्वरेणापि युते त्वजीर्णात् । दारेश्वरे वाहनवित्तराशिनाथान्विते वा मरणं त्वजीर्णात्

lagneśvare vāhananāthayukte vāgīśvareṇāpi yute tvajīrṇāt | dāreśvare vāhanavittarāśināthānvite vā maraṇaṃ tvajīrṇāt

When the lord of the lagna is joined with the lord of the 4th (the house of vehicles) and joined with Jupiter (the lord of speech) as well, ⟨death⟩ from indigestion. Or when the lord of the 7th is joined with the lords of the signs of the 4th and the 2nd (wealth), death likewise from indigestion.

भुक्त्यंशपो भानुसुतेन युक्तो दुःस्थानगो वा विषभक्षणेन । सहाहिना वा शिखिना च तस्य मृत्युर्भवेद्रज्जुनिबन्धनेन

bhuktyaṃśapo bhānusutena yukto duḥsthānago vā viṣabhakṣaṇena | sahāhinā vā śikhinā ca tasya mṛtyurbhavedrajjunibandhanena

When the lord of the aṃśa in course is joined with Saturn (the Sun's son) or has gone to a duḥsthāna, ⟨death⟩ by the eating of poison; ⟨and when it is⟩ with Rāhu (the serpent), or with Ketu (the crested one), his death occurs by the binding of a rope.

पिशाचपीडाऽग्निजले विपत्स्याद्भौमहिमन्दान्यतमेन युक्ते । क्षीणे शशाङ्के निधनस्थिते च दुःस्थे त्वपस्मारभयान्मृतिः स्यात्

piśācapīḍā'gnijale vipatsyādbhaumahimandānyatamena yukte | kṣīṇe śaśāṅke nidhanasthite ca duḥsthe tvapasmārabhayānmṛtiḥ syāt

⟨When the Moon is⟩ joined with either Mars or Saturn, calamity comes from the affliction of piśācas, from fire and from water. And when the waning Moon stands in the 8th and is ill-placed, death comes from the terror of epilepsy.

रन्ध्रस्थानगते सूर्ये भौमे वा बलवर्जिते । वित्ते पापग्रहैर्युक्ते पित्तरोगान्मृतिं वदेत्

randhrasthānagate sūrye bhaume vā balavarjite | vitte pāpagrahairyukte pittarogānmṛtiṃ vadet

When the Sun, or Mars, deprived of strength, has gone to the 8th house, and the 2nd (wealth) is joined by malefics, one should declare death from bilious (pitta) disease.

जलराशिगते चन्द्रे चाष्टमस्थेऽथवा गुरौ । पापग्रहेण संदृष्टे क्षयरोगान्मृतिं वदेत्

jalarāśigate candre cāṣṭamasthe'thavā gurau | pāpagraheṇa saṃdṛṣṭe kṣayarogānmṛtiṃ vadet

When the Moon, or Jupiter, has gone to a watery sign and stands in the 8th, and is aspected by a malefic, one should declare death from consumption (kṣaya).

अष्टमस्थानगे शुक्रे पापग्रहनिरीक्षिते । वातरोगात्क्षयाद्वाऽपि प्रमेहाद्वा मृतिं वदेत्

aṣṭamasthānage śukre pāpagrahanirīkṣite | vātarogātkṣayādvā'pi pramehādvā mṛtiṃ vadet

When Venus has gone to the 8th house and is aspected by a malefic, one should declare death from wind-disease (vāta), or from consumption, or from prameha (urinary disease).

सूर्यस्थानगते सौम्ये पापग्रहनिरीक्षिते । त्रिदोषान्मरणं विन्द्याज् ज्वररोगेण वा वदेत्

sūryasthānagate saumye pāpagrahanirīkṣite | tridoṣānmaraṇaṃ vindyāj jvararogeṇa vā vadet

When Mercury (saumya) has gone to the Sun's place and is aspected by a malefic, one should know death from the three doṣas, or declare it by fever-disease.

मृत्युस्थानगते राहौ पापग्रहनिरीक्षिते । पिटकाद्युष्णरोगाद्वा सर्पदोषान्मृतिर्भवेत्

mṛtyusthānagate rāhau pāpagrahanirīkṣite | piṭakādyuṣṇarogādvā sarpadoṣānmṛtirbhavet

When Rāhu has gone to the place of death ⟨the 8th house⟩ and is aspected by malefic grahas, death comes from boils and other heat-borne diseases, or from the venom of a snake.

पराभवगते राहौ पापग्रहनिरीक्षिते । मसूरिकादिरोगाद्वा पित्तभ्रंशान्मृतिं वदेत्

parābhavagate rāhau pāpagrahanirīkṣite | masūrikādirogādvā pittabhraṃśānmṛtiṃ vadet

When Rāhu has gone to the house of defeat (parābhava) ⟨the 6th⟩ and is aspected by malefic grahas, one should declare death from smallpox and such diseases, or from a derangement of bile (pitta).

धर्मे शनौ चाथ गुरौ तृतीये करच्छिदः स्यान्निधने व्यये वा । कर्मस्थिताश्चेद्यदि राहुमन्दसौम्याः करच्छेदयुतोऽत्र जातः

dharme śanau cātha gurau tṛtīye karacchidaḥ syānnidhane vyaye vā | karmasthitāścedyadi rāhumandasaumyāḥ karacchedayuto'tra jātaḥ

With Saturn in the 9th (dharma) and Jupiter in the 3rd, ⟨the native⟩ is one whose hand is cut off — or ⟨so too when they stand⟩ in the 8th (nidhana) or in the 12th. And if Rāhu, Saturn and Mercury (saumya) are stationed in the 10th (karma), the native born here is one who suffers the cutting of a hand.

शुक्रेण दृष्टे यदि रन्ध्रनाथे सूर्ये शनौ वा फणिनाथयुक्ते । क्रूरादिषष्ट्यंशसमन्विते वा विच्छेदनं तच्छिरसो वदन्ति

śukreṇa dṛṣṭe yadi randhranāthe sūrye śanau vā phaṇināthayukte | krūrādiṣaṣṭyaṃśasamanvite vā vicchedanaṃ tacchiraso vadanti

If the lord of the 8th (randhra) is aspected by Venus while the Sun or Saturn is joined with the lord of serpents ⟨Rāhu⟩, or ⟨if the lord of the 8th⟩ is joined with a ṣaṣṭyaṃśa of the krūra ⟨cruel⟩ class and the like, they declare the cutting off of his head.

मन्दे विलग्ने मदने सराहौ कन्यान्विते भार्गवनन्दने च । क्षीणे शशाङ्के मदराशियुक्ते विच्छिन्नहस्तश्च पदेन सार्द्धम्

mande vilagne madane sarāhau kanyānvite bhārgavanandane ca | kṣīṇe śaśāṅke madarāśiyukte vicchinnahastaśca padena sārddham

With Saturn in the ascendant (lagna), Rāhu in the 7th (madana), Venus joined with Virgo ⟨that is, in Virgo⟩, and the waning Moon joined with the sign of the 7th (mada-rāśi) — ⟨the native⟩ has his hand cut off, and a foot along with it.

भूसूनुलग्ने यदि वा तदंशे सूर्यान्विते कृष्णनिशाकरे तु । फणीशचन्द्रात्मजसंयुतेऽर्कराशौ यदा तर्ह्युदरप्रभेदम्

bhūsūnulagne yadi vā tadaṃśe sūryānvite kṛṣṇaniśākare tu | phaṇīśacandrātmajasaṃyute'rkarāśau yadā tarhyudaraprabhedam

If the ascendant is a sign of Mars (bhū-sūnu), or the ⟨ascendant falls⟩ in his navāṃśa, with the Sun joined ⟨there⟩ and the Moon dark ⟨waning⟩; and when ⟨these are⟩ in the Sun's sign joined with Rāhu (phaṇīśa) and Mercury (candrātmaja) — then ⟨there is⟩ the ripping open of the belly.

मन्दोदये सौम्यदृशा विहीने सर्पार्कयुक्ते यदि कृष्णचन्द्रे । नाभिप्रवेशोदरभेदमाहुः शस्त्रेण जातस्य पराशराद्याः

mandodaye saumyadṛśā vihīne sarpārkayukte yadi kṛṣṇacandre | nābhipraveśodarabhedamāhuḥ śastreṇa jātasya parāśarādyāḥ

With Saturn rising ⟨in the lagna⟩, devoid of any benefic aspect, joined with the serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩ and the Sun, and the Moon dark ⟨waning⟩ — Parāśara and the rest declare for the native an entering of the navel and a splitting open of the belly by a weapon.

षष्ठाष्टमव्यये चन्द्रे लग्ननाथेन वीक्षिते । मन्दमान्द्यगुसंयुक्ते तस्य दुर्मरणं वदेत्

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamavyaye candre lagnanāthena vīkṣite | mandamāndyagusaṃyukte tasya durmaraṇaṃ vadet

When the Moon is in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th, aspected by the lord of the lagna, and joined with Saturn, Māndi ⟨Gulika⟩ and Rāhu (agu), one should declare an evil death for him.

मेषूरणस्थे यदि चित्रभानौ भौमे चतुर्थे न च सौम्ययुक्ते । सौम्ये विलग्नोपगते तु मृत्युं गोशृङ्गतः शूलनिपाततो वा

meṣūraṇasthe yadi citrabhānau bhaume caturthe na ca saumyayukte | saumye vilagnopagate tu mṛtyuṃ gośṛṅgataḥ śūlanipātato vā

If the Sun (citrabhānu) stands in the 10th (meṣūraṇa), Mars is in the 4th and not joined with a benefic, and Mercury (saumya) has come to the ascendant — then death from a cow's horn, or from the fall of a spear (śūla).

दशमसुखसमेतैः पापदृष्टैश्च सौम्यैरुदयनिधनयातैः शूलपातान्मृतिः स्यात् । शशिनि तनुगृहस्थे बन्धुगे भानुपुत्रे कलहजनितदोषैरम्बरस्थे च भौमे

daśamasukhasametaiḥ pāpadṛṣṭaiśca saumyairudayanidhanayātaiḥ śūlapātānmṛtiḥ syāt | śaśini tanugṛhasthe bandhuge bhānuputre kalahajanitadoṣairambarasthe ca bhaume

With benefics occupying the 10th and the 4th (sukha) and aspected by malefics, ⟨or⟩ gone to the ascendant and the 8th (nidhana), death would come from the fall of a spear. With the Moon in the 1st house (tanu-gṛha), Saturn (bhānu-putra) in the 4th (bandhu) and Mars in the 10th (ambara), ⟨death comes⟩ through injuries born of a quarrel.

लग्नं गते दिनकरे तरुणीगतेन्दौ पापेक्षिते कलहतोयभयान्मृतिः स्यात् । लग्ने दिनेशशशिनौ द्विशरीरकेऽन्ये पापेक्षिता यदि बहूदकशृङ्गदष्टात्

lagnaṃ gate dinakare taruṇīgatendau pāpekṣite kalahatoyabhayānmṛtiḥ syāt | lagne dineśaśaśinau dviśarīrake'nye pāpekṣitā yadi bahūdakaśṛṅgadaṣṭāt

When the Sun has gone to the ascendant and the Moon to the Maiden ⟨Virgo⟩, aspected by malefics, death would come from fear of quarrel and of water. When the Sun and Moon are in the ascendant, or in another dual-bodied (dviśarīra) sign, if they are aspected by malefics — ⟨death comes⟩ from abundant water, or from being gored by a horn.

तुहिनकिरणलग्नात् पापखेटोपयाते नवमतनयराशौ पापखेटेक्षिते वा । भुजगनिगडपाशे रन्ध्रजन्मत्रिभागे जननसमयलग्नान्मृत्युमुद्बन्धनेन

tuhinakiraṇalagnāt pāpakheṭopayāte navamatanayarāśau pāpakheṭekṣite vā | bhujaganigaḍapāśe randhrajanmatribhāge jananasamayalagnānmṛtyumudbandhanena

Reckoning from the Moon (tuhina-kiraṇa) as the ascendant, when a malefic graha has come to the signs of the 9th and of the 5th (tanaya), or those are aspected by a malefic graha; and when the drekkāṇa (tri-bhāga) of the 8th (randhra) and of the ascendant, reckoned from the ascendant of the moment of birth, is one of the Serpent, the Fetter or the Noose ⟨drekkāṇas⟩ — ⟨then death comes⟩ by hanging.

मीनोदये शशिरवी यदि पापयुक्तौ पापेऽष्टमे च मरणं रमणीकृतं स्यात् ॥ भौमे सुखे दिनकरे यदि वा मदस्थे मन्देऽष्टमे शशिनि चान्नविशेषजन्यम्

mīnodaye śaśiravī yadi pāpayuktau pāpe'ṣṭame ca maraṇaṃ ramaṇīkṛtaṃ syāt || bhaume sukhe dinakare yadi vā madasthe mande'ṣṭame śaśini cānnaviśeṣajanyam

With Pisces rising, if the Moon and Sun are joined with malefics and a malefic is in the 8th, death would be brought about by a woman (ramaṇī). With Mars in the 4th (sukha) and the Sun ⟨there⟩, or ⟨the Sun⟩ standing in the 7th (mada), Saturn in the 8th and the Moon ⟨with him⟩ — ⟨death is⟩ produced by a particular food.

मन्दे धने सुखगते शशिनि क्षमाजे मानस्थिते व्रणकृतेन मृतिं समेति । बन्धुस्थितेऽवनिसुते धनगे शशाङ्के भानौ नभस्थलगते तु गजाश्वयानात्

mande dhane sukhagate śaśini kṣamāje mānasthite vraṇakṛtena mṛtiṃ sameti | bandhusthite'vanisute dhanage śaśāṅke bhānau nabhasthalagate tu gajāśvayānāt

With Saturn in the 2nd (dhana), the Moon gone to the 4th (sukha), and Mars (kṣamā-ja) standing in the 10th (māna), he meets death by a wound. With Mars (avani-suta) in the 4th (bandhu), the Moon in the 2nd (dhana), and the Sun gone to the 10th (nabhaḥ-sthala), ⟨death comes⟩ from a conveyance of elephant or horse.

रन्ध्रे शनौ वियति हीनबले शशाङ्के भानौ सुखे निभृतकाष्ठहतेन मृत्युः । पापान्तरे जननलग्नपतौ सकेतौ लग्नाष्टमे खलयुते सति मातृकोपात्

randhre śanau viyati hīnabale śaśāṅke bhānau sukhe nibhṛtakāṣṭhahatena mṛtyuḥ | pāpāntare jananalagnapatau saketau lagnāṣṭame khalayute sati mātṛkopāt

With Saturn in the 8th (randhra), the Moon weak in the 10th (viyat), and the Sun in the 4th (sukha), death comes from being struck by a hidden piece of wood. When the lord of the native's ascendant stands between malefics together with Ketu, and the 8th from the ascendant is joined with malefics, ⟨death comes⟩ from the wrath of the Mātṛkās ⟨the mother-goddesses⟩.

सुखास्पदस्थैरशुभैर्ग्रहेन्द्रैस्त्रिकोणगैर्वाऽथ विलग्नराशौ । रन्ध्रेश्वरे भूतनयेन सार्द्धमुद्बन्धनात्तस्य मृतिं वदन्ति

sukhāspadasthairaśubhairgrahendraistrikoṇagairvā'tha vilagnarāśau | randhreśvare bhūtanayena sārddhamudbandhanāttasya mṛtiṃ vadanti

With inauspicious grahas standing in the 4th (sukha), or gone to a trikoṇa, or in the sign of the ascendant, and the lord of the 8th (randhra) together with Mars (bhū-tanaya) — they declare his death by hanging.

लग्ने रवौ सुते मन्दे रन्ध्रस्थे तूडुनायके । धर्म गते धरासूनौ वृक्षाशनिभयान्मृतिः

lagne ravau sute mande randhrasthe tūḍunāyake | dharma gate dharāsūnau vṛkṣāśanibhayānmṛtiḥ

With the Sun in the ascendant, Saturn in the 5th (suta), the lord of the stars ⟨the Moon⟩ standing in the 8th (randhra), and Mars (dharā-sūnu) gone to the 9th (dharma), death comes from the fear of a tree and of lightning (aśani).

पापेष्वाज्ञाबन्धुराशिस्थितेषु क्षीणे तारानायके शत्रुराशौ ॥ लग्नाच्छिद्रस्थानराशि गते वा यात्राकाले शत्रुदोषान्मृतिः स्यात्

pāpeṣvājñābandhurāśisthiteṣu kṣīṇe tārānāyake śatrurāśau || lagnācchidrasthānarāśi gate vā yātrākāle śatrudoṣānmṛtiḥ syāt

When malefics are situated in the signs of the 10th (ājñā) and the 4th (bandhu) and the waning lord of the stars ⟨the Moon⟩ is in the sign of the 6th (śatru), or has gone to the 8th (chidra) sign from the ascendant — death would come at the time of a journey, from harm done by enemies.

लग्नान्त्यगौ भानुधराकुमारौ दिनेशचन्द्रेन्दुसुता मदस्थाः । सुरालयोद्यानवनप्रदेशे प्रवासभूमौ म्रियते तु जातः

lagnāntyagau bhānudharākumārau dineśacandrendusutā madasthāḥ | surālayodyānavanapradeśe pravāsabhūmau mriyate tu jātaḥ

⟨When⟩ the Sun and Mars (dharā-kumāra) are gone to the ascendant and the 12th (antya), ⟨and⟩ the Sun, the Moon and Mercury (indu-suta) stand in the 7th (mada) — the native dies in a temple, a garden or a woodland tract, in a land of foreign sojourn.

लग्नाष्टमे पापयुतेऽष्टमेशे रिःफोपयाते यदि केन्द्रगे वा । लग्नेश्वरे हीनबलेन युक्ते दुर्मार्गदोषात्प्रवदन्ति मृत्युम्

lagnāṣṭame pāpayute'ṣṭameśe riḥphopayāte yadi kendrage vā | lagneśvare hīnabalena yukte durmārgadoṣātpravadanti mṛtyum

When the 8th from the ascendant is joined with malefics, the lord of the 8th has gone to the 12th (riḥpha) or stands in a kendra, and the lord of the ascendant is joined with a graha of feeble strength — they declare death from the fault of evil courses (durmārga).

भौमार्कजक्षेत्रगते शशाङ्के पापेक्षिते पापखगान्तरस्थे । कन्यागृहे वा हिबुकोपयाते मृतिं वदेदग्निजशस्त्रपातैः

bhaumārkajakṣetragate śaśāṅke pāpekṣite pāpakhagāntarasthe | kanyāgṛhe vā hibukopayāte mṛtiṃ vadedagnijaśastrapātaiḥ

When the Moon has gone to a sign (kṣetra) of Mars or of Saturn (arka-ja), is aspected by malefics and stands between malefic grahas; or ⟨has gone⟩ to the house of the Maiden ⟨Virgo⟩, or has come to the 4th (hibuka) — one should declare death by fire-born ⟨causes⟩ and the fall of a weapon.

यदि विषघटिकायामष्टमे पापयुक्ते विषशिखिभवशस्त्रैर्जायते तस्य मृत्युः । बहुदिविचरयुक्ते लग्नपे साष्टमेशे बहुजनमृतिकाले मृत्युमेति प्रजातः

yadi viṣaghaṭikāyāmaṣṭame pāpayukte viṣaśikhibhavaśastrairjāyate tasya mṛtyuḥ | bahudivicarayukte lagnape sāṣṭameśe bahujanamṛtikāle mṛtyumeti prajātaḥ

If ⟨the birth falls⟩ in a viṣa-ghaṭikā ⟨a poison ghaṭikā⟩ and the 8th is joined with malefics, his death arises through poison, fire (śikhin) or a weapon. When the lord of the ascendant together with the lord of the 8th is joined with many sky-goers ⟨grahas⟩, the one born meets his death at a time when many people die.

लग्नेशस्थनवांशस्य राशिकोपोद्भवामयैः । मृत्युं तस्य वदन्त्येके हौरिका मुनिपुङ्गवाः

lagneśasthanavāṃśasya rāśikopodbhavāmayaiḥ | mṛtyuṃ tasya vadantyeke haurikā munipuṅgavāḥ

Some of the horā-teachers (haurikas), bulls among sages, declare his death to come through the diseases that arise from the aggravation ⟨of the humour⟩ of the sign of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the ascendant.

होरेशेंशगते तु तुम्बुरगृहे तापस्वराग्न्युद्भवैरूक्षे श्वासविकारशूलजनितैर्युग्मे शिरःशूलजैः । वातोन्मादभवैः कुलीरभवने सिंहे विषस्फोटकैः कन्यायां जठराग्निगुह्यजनितैर्जातस्य मृत्युं वदेत्

horeśeṃśagate tu tumburagṛhe tāpasvarāgnyudbhavairūkṣe śvāsavikāraśūlajanitairyugme śiraḥśūlajaiḥ | vātonmādabhavaiḥ kulīrabhavane siṃhe viṣasphoṭakaiḥ kanyāyāṃ jaṭharāgniguhyajanitairjātasya mṛtyuṃ vadet

When the lord of the horā ⟨the ascendant⟩ has gone to a navāṃśa: in the house of the Ram ⟨Aries⟩, ⟨death⟩ from fever, ⟨disorder of⟩ the voice, and fire; in the Bull ⟨Taurus⟩, from disorder of the breath and from colic (śūla); in the Twins ⟨Gemini⟩, from pains of the head; in the mansion of the Crab ⟨Cancer⟩, from wind-borne madness; in the Lion ⟨Leo⟩, by poison and eruptions; in the Maiden ⟨Virgo⟩, from ⟨disorders of⟩ the digestive fire of the belly and of the private parts — thus one should declare the native's death.

जूकेशोकचतुष्पदज्वरभवैः कीटेऽश्मशस्त्रादिभिश्चापे तीव्रमरुद्भवैर्मृगसुखे व्याघ्रादिशूलामयैः । कुम्भे व्याघ्रवधूकृतैरनिमिषे तोयातिसारैर्मृतिम् रन्ध्रस्यांशगता प्रचारधरणी जातस्य मृत्युप्रदा

jūkeśokacatuṣpadajvarabhavaiḥ kīṭe'śmaśastrādibhiścāpe tīvramarudbhavairmṛgasukhe vyāghrādiśūlāmayaiḥ | kumbhe vyāghravadhūkṛtairanimiṣe toyātisārairmṛtim randhrasyāṃśagatā pracāradharaṇī jātasya mṛtyupradā

In the Balance ⟨Libra⟩, ⟨death⟩ from grief, four-footed beasts and fevers; in the Scorpion, by stone, weapon and the like; in the Bow ⟨Sagittarius⟩, from fierce wind ⟨-disorders⟩; in the Deer ⟨Capricorn⟩, from tigers and the like and from colic diseases; in the Water-jar ⟨Aquarius⟩, from what is done by tigers and by women; in the Unblinking one ⟨Pisces⟩, from water and dysentery — ⟨thus⟩ death. The ground of motion (pracāra-dharaṇī) that has gone to the navāṃśa of the 8th (randhra) is death-dealing to the native.

निशि बलयुतराशौ लग्नयातेऽह्निकाले यदि दिनबलयुक्ते जन्मलग्ने रजन्याम् । उदयगनवभागे स्वामियोगेक्षितानाम् दिशि मृतिमुपयाति स्थानवीर्याधिकस्य

If by night the ascendant has gone to a sign possessing ⟨nocturnal⟩ strength, and by day the birth-ascendant is one endowed with day-strength, then, among those ⟨grahas⟩ joined with or aspecting the lord of the rising navāṃśa, he meets death in the direction of that one which is greatest in positional strength (sthāna-vīrya).

होराशेषनवांशमानघटिका मोहः स्वभांशेक्षिते पापैस्तद्द्विगुणीकृतस्त्रिगुणितः सौम्यैरवस्थात्मकः । क्रूरापश्वरसौम्यमिश्रतनुगैर्द्वाविंशतित्र्यंशकैर्नाशं याति शरीरमग्निजलसंमिश्रश्वमुख्यैः क्रमात्

horāśeṣanavāṃśamānaghaṭikā mohaḥ svabhāṃśekṣite pāpaistaddviguṇīkṛtastriguṇitaḥ saumyairavasthātmakaḥ | krūrāpaśvarasaumyamiśratanugairdvāviṃśatitryaṃśakairnāśaṃ yāti śarīramagnijalasaṃmiśraśvamukhyaiḥ kramāt

The swoon ⟨before death⟩ lasts ghaṭikās equal in measure to the navāṃśas of the horā ⟨the ascendant⟩ that remain (śeṣa) ⟨to rise⟩; if that own-navāṃśa is aspected by malefics that number is doubled, and by benefics tripled — such is the state ⟨of unconsciousness⟩. And by the twenty-second drekkāṇas (tryaṃśakas) occupied by malefic, ⟨…⟩, benefic and mixed ⟨grahas⟩, the body goes to destruction by fire, by water, by a mixture ⟨of causes⟩, and by dogs and the like, respectively.

देवमर्त्यपितृनारकालयप्राणिनो गुरुरिनक्षमासुतौ । कुर्युरिन्दुभृगुजौ बुधार्कजौ मृत्युकालभवलग्नगा यदि

devamartyapitṛnārakālayaprāṇino gururinakṣamāsutau | kuryurindubhṛgujau budhārkajau mṛtyukālabhavalagnagā yadi

If they occupy the ascendant that rises at the time of death: Jupiter makes ⟨the native⟩ a being of the abode of the gods; the Sun (ina) and Mars ⟨of the abode⟩ of men; the Moon and Venus, of the ancestors; Mercury and Saturn, of hell.

भूश्चक्रं स्यात् तुम्बुराद्यं चतुष्कं सिंहागाराद्यं भुवश्चक्रमाहुः । चापादिस्थं तत्सुवश्चक्रजन्यं जीवो मृत्युक्षेत्रलोकं समेति

bhūścakraṃ syāt tumburādyaṃ catuṣkaṃ siṃhāgārādyaṃ bhuvaścakramāhuḥ | cāpādisthaṃ tatsuvaścakrajanyaṃ jīvo mṛtyukṣetralokaṃ sameti

The set of four beginning with ⟨the sign called⟩ tumbura ⟨Aries⟩ would be the bhū-cakra ⟨the circle of earth⟩; that beginning with the house of the Lion ⟨Leo⟩ they call the bhuvaḥ-cakra; and that standing from the Bow ⟨Sagittarius⟩ onward is born of the svaḥ-cakra ⟨the circle of heaven⟩. The jīva ⟨the departing soul⟩ goes to the world ⟨of the cakra⟩ of the sign of death.

रिःफाधीशे पापषष्ट्यंशयाते पापैर्दृष्टे नारकं लोकमेति । राहौ रिःफे मान्दिरन्ध्रेशयुक्ते शत्रुस्थानस्वामिदृष्टे तथा स्यात्

riḥphādhīśe pāpaṣaṣṭyaṃśayāte pāpairdṛṣṭe nārakaṃ lokameti | rāhau riḥphe māndirandhreśayukte śatrusthānasvāmidṛṣṭe tathā syāt

When the lord of the 12th (riḥpha) has gone to a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa and is aspected by malefics, he goes to the world of hell. It would be the same when Rāhu is in the 12th (riḥpha) joined with Māndi and the lord of the 8th (randhra), and aspected by the lord of the house of enemies ⟨the 6th⟩.

उच्चस्थे शुभखेचरे व्ययगते पापग्रहैः शोभनैः सन्दृष्टे शुभवर्गके च विपुलं स्वर्गादिभोगं वदेत् । कर्मस्थानपतौ पुरन्दरगुरौ रिःफोपयातेऽथवा सौम्यव्योमनिवासदृष्टिसहिते तस्यामरत्वं भवेत्

uccasthe śubhakhecare vyayagate pāpagrahaiḥ śobhanaiḥ sandṛṣṭe śubhavargake ca vipulaṃ svargādibhogaṃ vadet | karmasthānapatau purandaragurau riḥphopayāte'thavā saumyavyomanivāsadṛṣṭisahite tasyāmaratvaṃ bhavet

When an auspicious ⟨benefic⟩ graha, exalted, has gone to the vyaya (the 12th), is fully aspected by malefic grahas ⟨that are themselves⟩ well-disposed, and stands in an auspicious varga, one should declare abundant enjoyment of svarga and the ⟨other higher worlds⟩. And when the lord of the karma-sthāna (the 10th), ⟨namely⟩ the preceptor of Purandara ⟨Jupiter⟩, has gone to the riḥpha (the 12th), or is attended by the residence of benefics in the vyoman (the 10th) and by their aspect, immortality is his.

बृहस्पतौ चापनवांशकस्थे बलान्विते कर्कटलग्नयाते । त्रिभिश्चतुर्भिः सह कण्टकेषु नभश्चरैर्ब्रह्मपदं प्रयाति

bṛhaspatau cāpanavāṃśakasthe balānvite karkaṭalagnayāte | tribhiścaturbhiḥ saha kaṇṭakeṣu nabhaścarairbrahmapadaṃ prayāti

When Bṛhaspati (Jupiter), placed in the navāṃśa of Cāpa (Sagittarius) and endowed with strength, has gone to a Karkaṭa (Cancer) lagna, together with three or four grahas ⟨standing⟩ in the kendras (kaṇṭaka), ⟨the native⟩ goes to the station of Brahmā.

धनुर्विलग्ने यदि तुम्बुरांशके लग्ने गुरौ दानवपूजितेऽस्तगे । कन्यागते शीतकरे बलान्विते परं पदं लोकमुपैति शाश्वतम्

dhanurvilagne yadi tumburāṃśake lagne gurau dānavapūjite'stage | kanyāgate śītakare balānvite paraṃ padaṃ lokamupaiti śāśvatam

If Dhanus (Sagittarius) is the ascendant in the Tumburu (Aries) navāṃśa, with Jupiter in the lagna and the one honoured by the dānavas (Venus) in the setting place (the 7th), and the cool-rayed one (the Moon) has gone to Kanyā (Virgo) endowed with strength, ⟨the native⟩ attains the supreme station, the eternal world.

निसर्गदायप्रमुखायुरब्दस्फुटक्रियामृत्युदशाप्रभेदाः । निर्याणकालप्रभवाश्च सर्वे सङ्कीर्तिता भानुमुखप्रसादात्

nisargadāyapramukhāyurabdasphuṭakriyāmṛtyudaśāprabhedāḥ | niryāṇakālaprabhavāśca sarve saṅkīrtitā bhānumukhaprasādāt

The varieties of the ⟨reckoning of⟩ longevity that begin with the nisarga-dāya, the procedure for the exact years of life, and the distinctions of the daśās of death, together with all that arises concerning the time of departure ⟨from the body⟩ — all these have been fully declared by the grace of ⟨those⟩ headed by Bhānu (the Sun).

केचिद् योगा राजयोगस्य भङ्गाः केचिद्रेका नाम दारिद्र्ययोगाः । केचित्प्रेष्याः के च केमद्रुमाख्यास्ते चत्वारो जातभङ्गाकराः

kecid yogā rājayogasya bhaṅgāḥ kecidrekā nāma dāridryayogāḥ | kecitpreṣyāḥ ke ca kemadrumākhyāste catvāro jātabhaṅgākarāḥ

Some yogas are breakers of the rājayoga; some are the poverty-yogas named rekā; some are ⟨yogas⟩ of servitude (preṣya); and some are those called kemadruma. These four are the makers of the native's ruin (jāta-bhaṅga).

मेषे जूकनवांशके दिनकरे पापेक्षिते निर्धनः कन्याराशिगते यदा भृगुसुते कन्यांशके भिक्षुकः । नीचर्क्षे त्वतिनीचभागसहिते जातो दिवानायके राजश्रेष्ठकुलाग्रजोऽपि विगतश्रीपुत्रदाराशनः

meṣe jūkanavāṃśake dinakare pāpekṣite nirdhanaḥ kanyārāśigate yadā bhṛgusute kanyāṃśake bhikṣukaḥ | nīcarkṣe tvatinīcabhāgasahite jāto divānāyake rājaśreṣṭhakulāgrajo'pi vigataśrīputradārāśanaḥ

When the Sun is in Aries in the navāṃśa of Libra (jūka) and aspected by malefics — ⟨the native is⟩ destitute. When Venus has gone to the sign Virgo and is in the navāṃśa of Virgo — a beggar. But when the Sun is born in its debilitation sign and set in the degree of deepest debilitation, then even one born the eldest in the foremost of royal houses is bereft of wealth, sons, wife and food.

मन्दाराहिसमन्वितेऽमरगुरौ शुक्रेन्दुपुत्रेक्षिते जातः शूद्रकलेवरोऽपि निखिलां विद्यामुपैति श्रियम् । तारानाथविकर्तनौ गदगतौ सौरेण संवीक्षितौ जातोऽसौ समुपैति नीचविहितोपायेन सञ्जीवनम्

mandārāhisamanvite'maragurau śukrenduputrekṣite jātaḥ śūdrakalevaro'pi nikhilāṃ vidyāmupaiti śriyam | tārānāthavikartanau gadagatau saureṇa saṃvīkṣitau jāto'sau samupaiti nīcavihitopāyena sañjīvanam

When Jupiter is joined with Saturn, Mars and Rāhu and aspected by Venus and Mercury, the native, though of śūdra body, attains learning entire and prosperity. ⟨When⟩ the Moon and the Sun stand in the sixth ⟨the house of disease⟩ and are aspected by Saturn, that native gets his livelihood by means such as low men devise.

केन्द्रस्थे वा विलग्ने दिनकरतनये सौम्यखेटैरदृष्टे भूसूनोः कालहोरासमयजमनुजो भिक्षुको दासभूतः । सौम्यादृष्टेऽर्क्किदृष्टे शशिनि सरुधिरे मेषगे भिक्षुकः स्यादर्क्कीन्द्वर्क्कैः सकेन्द्रैर्जडतनुरधनश्चान्यभुक्ताशनः

When Saturn is in a kendra or in the ascendant and unaspected by benefic grahas, a man born in the time of Mars's kāla-horā is a beggar and reduced to servitude. When the Moon, unaspected by benefics, aspected by Saturn and joined with Mars (rudhira), is in Aries — he becomes a beggar. With Saturn, the Moon and the Sun in kendras — ⟨he is⟩ dull of body, without wealth, and eats what others have eaten.

मन्दे केन्द्रगते विलग्नगृहगे चन्द्रेऽन्त्यभे वाक्पतौ जातो भिक्षुक एव शोकजलधौ भग्नो विदेशं गतः । धर्मस्थानपतौ तु रिःफगृहगे पापग्रहे केन्द्रगे जातः पापरतः परान्नधनभुग् विद्याविहीनो भवेत्

mande kendragate vilagnagṛhage candre'ntyabhe vākpatau jāto bhikṣuka eva śokajaladhau bhagno videśaṃ gataḥ | dharmasthānapatau tu riḥphagṛhage pāpagrahe kendrage jātaḥ pāparataḥ parānnadhanabhug vidyāvihīno bhavet

When Saturn is in a kendra, the Moon in the sign of the ascendant, and Jupiter in the last house ⟨the 12th⟩ — the native is a beggar indeed, broken in an ocean of grief, gone to a foreign land. But when the lord of the ninth (dharma) is in the twelfth (riḥpha) and a malefic graha is in a kendra — the native becomes given to sin, feeding on the food and wealth of others, and devoid of learning.

जीवे राहुयुतेऽथवा शिखियुते पापेक्षिते नीचकृन् नीचे नीचसमीक्षिते सुरगुरौ विप्रोऽतिदुष्कर्मकृत् । निद्री चन्द्रविलग्नपौ सह दिवानाथेन मन्देक्षितौ प्रेष्यः स्यादशुभैः शुभग्रहदृशा हीनैश्च मानस्थितैः

When Jupiter is joined with Rāhu or with Ketu (śikhi) and aspected by malefics — ⟨the native⟩ does base deeds. When Jupiter is debilitated and aspected by a debilitated ⟨graha⟩ — ⟨though⟩ a brahmin, he is a doer of exceedingly wicked deeds. ⟨…⟩ the Moon and the lord of the ascendant, together with the Sun, aspected by Saturn — he becomes a servant (preṣya); ⟨so too⟩ when malefics standing in the tenth (māna) are destitute of the aspect of benefic grahas.

भाग्येशेऽन्त्यगते सहादरगतैः पापैर्व्ययेशेऽर्थगे दुर्भोजी परिबन्धनादिसहितो जातोऽन्यजायारतः । सर्वैर्नीचसपत्नभागसहितैः कर्मेतरस्थानगैर्विद्याबुद्धिकलत्रपुत्ररहितः कोपी सदा भैक्षकृत्

bhāgyeśe'ntyagate sahādaragataiḥ pāpairvyayeśe'rthage durbhojī paribandhanādisahito jāto'nyajāyārataḥ | sarvairnīcasapatnabhāgasahitaiḥ karmetarasthānagairvidyābuddhikalatraputrarahitaḥ kopī sadā bhaikṣakṛt

When the lord of the ninth (bhāgya) is in the twelfth, with malefics gone to the third (sahodara), and the lord of the twelfth is in the second (artha) — the native eats foul food, meets with bondage and the like, and lusts after other men's wives. When all ⟨the grahas⟩ are set in the navāṃśas of debilitation and of enemies and stand in houses other than the tenth (karma-itara) — he is without learning, without intelligence, without wife and sons, always wrathful, and forever living on alms.

लग्नस्वामिनि रिःफगे तु वियति क्रूरे सचन्द्रे कुजे जातोऽसौ परदेशगः सुखधनत्यागी दरिद्रो भवेत् । होराजन्मपती न शोभनयुतावस्तंगतावन्त्यगे भाग्येशे यदि नष्टदारतनयो जातः कुलध्वंसकः

lagnasvāmini riḥphage tu viyati krūre sacandre kuje jāto'sau paradeśagaḥ sukhadhanatyāgī daridro bhavet | horājanmapatī na śobhanayutāvastaṃgatāvantyage bhāgyeśe yadi naṣṭadāratanayo jātaḥ kuladhvaṃsakaḥ

When the lord of the ascendant is in the twelfth (riḥpha), a malefic in the tenth (viyat, the sky), and Mars joined with the Moon — that native goes abroad, forsakes comfort and wealth, and becomes poor. If the lords of the horā ⟨the ascendant⟩ and of the birth sign are not joined with benefics and are combust, and the lord of the ninth is in the twelfth — then the native, his wife and sons destroyed, is a destroyer of his family.

सौम्यासौम्ययुतेषु केन्द्रभवनेष्विन्दौ तनुस्वामिना दृष्टे मन्दनवांशके सति कुलध्वंसी विदारात्मजः । कामेबोधनशुक्रयोः सुतगृहे जीवे सुखस्थे शुभे पापे रन्ध्रगते च चन्द्रभवनाज्जाताः कुलध्वंसिनः

saumyāsaumyayuteṣu kendrabhavaneṣvindau tanusvāminā dṛṣṭe mandanavāṃśake sati kuladhvaṃsī vidārātmajaḥ | kāmebodhanaśukrayoḥ sutagṛhe jīve sukhasthe śubhe pāpe randhragate ca candrabhavanājjātāḥ kuladhvaṃsinaḥ

When the kendra houses are occupied by benefics and malefics ⟨alike⟩, and the Moon, aspected by the lord of the body ⟨the ascendant⟩, stands in Saturn's navāṃśa — ⟨the native is⟩ a destroyer of his family, bereft of wife and children. When Mercury and Venus are in the seventh (kāma), Jupiter in the fifth (suta), a benefic in the fourth (sukha), and a malefic gone to the eighth (randhra) — ⟨all reckoned⟩ from the Moon's sign — those so born are destroyers of their family.

चरावसाने शशिनि स्थिरादौ द्विदेहमध्ये बलवर्जिते च । हीने विलग्ने यदि खेचरेन्द्रैर्विनाशमेति क्षितिपालयोगात्

carāvasāne śaśini sthirādau dvidehamadhye balavarjite ca | hīne vilagne yadi khecarendrairvināśameti kṣitipālayogāt

When the Moon is at the end of a movable sign, at the beginning of a fixed one, or in the middle of a two-bodied (dvideha) sign, and is devoid of strength; and when the ascendant is destitute of the chief sky-going ⟨grahas⟩ — ⟨the native⟩ comes to ruin, falling away from the yoga of kingship.

लग्नराशिनवभावनायका भानुशीतकरदेवपूजिताः । शत्रुभागसहिताः स्वनीचभस्वामिभांशसहिताः परानुगः

lagnarāśinavabhāvanāyakā bhānuśītakaradevapūjitāḥ | śatrubhāgasahitāḥ svanīcabhasvāmibhāṃśasahitāḥ parānugaḥ

⟨When⟩ the lords of the ascendant sign and of the ninth house, ⟨together with⟩ the Sun, the Moon and Jupiter, are set in the navāṃśas of enemies, or in the navāṃśa of the sign of the lord of their own debilitation — ⟨the native becomes⟩ a follower at another's heels.

शशिनि गगनयाते कामगे दानवेज्ये नवमभवनयाते पापखेटे कुलघ्नः । भृगुजशशिजचन्द्राः केन्द्रगा जन्मलग्ने तमसि विहितकर्मध्वंसको नीचतुल्यः

śaśini gaganayāte kāmage dānavejye navamabhavanayāte pāpakheṭe kulaghnaḥ | bhṛgujaśaśijacandrāḥ kendragā janmalagne tamasi vihitakarmadhvaṃsako nīcatulyaḥ

When the Moon has gone to the tenth (gagana), Venus is in the seventh (kāma), and a malefic graha has gone to the ninth house — ⟨he is⟩ a slayer of his family. When Venus, Mercury and the Moon are in kendras and Rāhu (tamas) is in the birth ascendant — ⟨he is⟩ a destroyer of the rites enjoined ⟨on him⟩ and the equal of a base man.

नीचे भृगौ मन्दनवांशके वा दुःस्थानगे भानुसुतेक्षिते च । कामस्थिते शीतकरे सभानौ मात्रा सह प्रैष्यमुपैति नित्यम्

nīce bhṛgau mandanavāṃśake vā duḥsthānage bhānusutekṣite ca | kāmasthite śītakare sabhānau mātrā saha praiṣyamupaiti nityam

When Venus is debilitated, or in Saturn's navāṃśa, or gone to an evil house, and is aspected by Saturn; and the Moon, together with the Sun, is in the seventh (kāma) — ⟨the native⟩ comes always to servitude along with his mother.

नीचे गुरौ वासरनायके वा केन्द्रस्थिते पापयुते शिशुघ्नः । केन्द्रे सपापे शुभदृष्टिहीने रन्ध्रे गुरौ गोमृगजातिहन्ता

nīce gurau vāsaranāyake vā kendrasthite pāpayute śiśughnaḥ | kendre sapāpe śubhadṛṣṭihīne randhre gurau gomṛgajātihantā

When Jupiter, or the Sun (lord of the day), being debilitated, stands in a kendra joined with a malefic — ⟨he is⟩ a slayer of children. When a kendra holds a malefic and is destitute of benefic aspect, and Jupiter is in the eighth (randhra) — ⟨he is⟩ a killer of the kinds that are cattle and deer.

शशाङ्कसौम्यौ दशमोपयातौ पापेक्षितौ पापसमन्वितौ च । नीचांशगौ सौम्यदृशा विहीनौ जातस्तु नित्यं खलु पक्षिहन्ता

śaśāṅkasaumyau daśamopayātau pāpekṣitau pāpasamanvitau ca | nīcāṃśagau saumyadṛśā vihīnau jātastu nityaṃ khalu pakṣihantā

The Moon and Mercury gone to the tenth, aspected by malefics and joined with malefics, standing in navāṃśas of debilitation and destitute of benefic aspect — the native is assuredly and always a killer of birds.

चन्द्रात्सुते लग्नपतौ धने वा सौम्येतरेष्वष्टमराशिगेषु । मानस्थिते शीतकरे तदानीं जातस्तु जीवत्यतिहेयवृत्त्या

candrātsute lagnapatau dhane vā saumyetareṣvaṣṭamarāśigeṣu | mānasthite śītakare tadānīṃ jātastu jīvatyatiheyavṛttyā

When the lord of the ascendant is in the fifth from the Moon, or in the second, when malefics occupy the eighth sign, and the Moon is in the tenth (māna) — then the native lives by a most contemptible occupation.

नीचारिभांशौ भृगुदेवपूज्यौ तदंशके वासरनाथपुत्रे । जातः सुदुःखःसुतदारहीनः कृच्छ्रेण संजीवति भाग्यहीनः

nīcāribhāṃśau bhṛgudevapūjyau tadaṃśake vāsaranāthaputre | jātaḥ suduḥkhaḥsutadārahīnaḥ kṛcchreṇa saṃjīvati bhāgyahīnaḥ

When Venus and Jupiter are in the navāṃśas of debilitation and of enemies, and Saturn (the son of the lord of day) is in the navāṃśa of those same ⟨signs⟩ — the native is deeply wretched, without sons and wife, and, luckless, keeps alive only with hardship.

सर्वे पापाः केन्द्रनीचारिसंस्थाः सौम्यैर्दृष्टा रिःफरन्ध्रारियातैः । निघ्नन्त्येते राजयोगं ग्रहेन्द्रा नीचारातिक्रूरषष्ठ्यंशकाश्च

sarve pāpāḥ kendranīcārisaṃsthāḥ saumyairdṛṣṭā riḥpharandhrāriyātaiḥ | nighnantyete rājayogaṃ grahendrā nīcārātikrūraṣaṣṭhyaṃśakāśca

All the malefics placed in kendras, in debilitation or in enemies' ⟨signs⟩, and aspected by benefics that have gone to the twelfth, the eighth and the sixth — these lords among grahas destroy the rājayoga; and so do ⟨those in⟩ the ṣaṣṭyaṃśas of debilitation, of enemies and of the cruel.

केन्द्रस्थिता मन्दनिशाकरार्काः शुभैरदृष्टा यदि मद्यपायी । क्रूरारिषष्ठ्यंशकनीचभागा दुष्कर्मयुक्तोऽन्यकलत्रगामी

kendrasthitā mandaniśākarārkāḥ śubhairadṛṣṭā yadi madyapāyī | krūrāriṣaṣṭhyaṃśakanīcabhāgā duṣkarmayukto'nyakalatragāmī

If Saturn, the Moon and the Sun stand in kendras and are unaspected by benefics — ⟨the native is⟩ a drinker of liquor. ⟨If they stand⟩ in the ṣaṣṭyaṃśas of the cruel and of enemies and in degrees of debilitation — ⟨he is⟩ yoked to evil deeds and goes to other men's wives.

नीचे भृगौ धर्मगते सपापे द्विजप्रहर्ता यदि पापदृष्टे । व्यये शुभर्क्षेऽर्कसुतांशकस्थे भृगौ च दासीवरनन्दनः स्यात्

nīce bhṛgau dharmagate sapāpe dvijaprahartā yadi pāpadṛṣṭe | vyaye śubharkṣe'rkasutāṃśakasthe bhṛgau ca dāsīvaranandanaḥ syāt

When Venus, debilitated, is in the ninth (dharma) with a malefic, and if it is aspected by a malefic — ⟨he is⟩ a striker of the twice-born. And when Venus is in the twelfth in a benefic's sign, standing in Saturn's navāṃśa — he will be the son of a serving-woman's husband.

लग्नेशे बलवर्जिते परिभवस्थानाधिपेनेक्षिते सूर्योच्छिन्नकरे पुरन्दरगुरौ रेकाख्ययोगो भवेत् । बन्धुस्थानपसंयुतांशकपतौ तिग्मांशुलुप्तद्युतौ रिःफेशेन निरीक्षिते सति यदा योगस्तु रेकाह्वयः

lagneśe balavarjite paribhavasthānādhipenekṣite sūryocchinnakare purandaragurau rekākhyayogo bhavet | bandhusthānapasaṃyutāṃśakapatau tigmāṃśuluptadyutau riḥpheśena nirīkṣite sati yadā yogastu rekāhvayaḥ

When the lord of the ascendant is devoid of strength and aspected by the lord of the place of humiliation ⟨the sixth⟩, and Jupiter's rays are cut off by the Sun — the yoga named rekā arises. When the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the fourth (bandhu) has its lustre swallowed by the fierce-rayed ⟨Sun⟩ and is aspected by the lord of the twelfth (riḥpha) — then too the yoga is the one called rekā.

षष्ठस्वामिनिरीक्षिते सुखपतौ रन्ध्रेशयुक्ते तथा मानेशे सुतगे विलग्नरमणे नीचं गते रेकभाक् । रन्ध्रारिव्ययराशिगा यदि शुभाः केन्द्रत्रिकोणोपगाः पापा लाभगृहाधिपे च विबले रेकाभिशस्तो भवेत्

ṣaṣṭhasvāminirīkṣite sukhapatau randhreśayukte tathā māneśe sutage vilagnaramaṇe nīcaṃ gate rekabhāk | randhrārivyayarāśigā yadi śubhāḥ kendratrikoṇopagāḥ pāpā lābhagṛhādhipe ca vibale rekābhiśasto bhavet

When the lord of the fourth (sukha) is aspected by the lord of the sixth and joined with the lord of the eighth (randhra); and likewise when the lord of the tenth (māna) is in the fifth (suta) and the lord of the ascendant has gone to debilitation — ⟨the native⟩ has his share of rekā. If benefics occupy the signs of the eighth, the sixth and the twelfth, malefics occupy kendras and trikoṇas, and the lord of the house of gain ⟨the eleventh⟩ is weak — he becomes one branded with rekā.

होरेशः खलसंयुतः सित गुरू चास्तं गतौ तद्वदेद् बन्धुस्थानपतिः शुभेतरयुतश्चास्तं गतो रेकदः । भाग्यस्थानपतौ विकर्तनकरच्छन्ने विलग्नाधिपे नीचस्थे धनपे च नीचगृहगे रेकाभिधानो भवेत्

horeśaḥ khalasaṃyutaḥ sita gurū cāstaṃ gatau tadvaded bandhusthānapatiḥ śubhetarayutaścāstaṃ gato rekadaḥ | bhāgyasthānapatau vikartanakaracchanne vilagnādhipe nīcasthe dhanape ca nīcagṛhage rekābhidhāno bhavet

The lord of the horā ⟨the ascendant⟩ joined with a malefic, and Venus and Jupiter both combust — one should declare the same ⟨rekā⟩. The lord of the fourth house, joined with a malefic and combust, is a giver of rekā. When the lord of the ninth is covered by the Sun's rays, the lord of the ascendant stands in debilitation, and the lord of wealth ⟨the second⟩ is in a debilitation sign — the ⟨yoga⟩ named rekā arises.

नीचस्था यदि वा दिनेशकिरणच्छन्नास्त्रयो लग्नपे दुष्टस्थानगतेऽथवा गतबले योगस्तु रेकप्रदः । होरावित्तनवास्पदायसुखधीकामानुजस्थाः खलास्तस्यायुर्नवभागरेकफलदा नीचारिपापेक्षिताः

nīcasthā yadi vā dineśakiraṇacchannāstrayo lagnape duṣṭasthānagate'thavā gatabale yogastu rekapradaḥ | horāvittanavāspadāyasukhadhīkāmānujasthāḥ khalāstasyāyurnavabhāgarekaphaladā nīcāripāpekṣitāḥ

If three ⟨grahas⟩ are debilitated or hidden by the Sun's rays, and the lord of the ascendant has gone to an evil house or has lost its strength — the yoga is one that yields rekā. Malefics standing in the horā ⟨the 1st⟩, in wealth ⟨the 2nd⟩, in the ninth, in the station ⟨the 10th⟩, in gain ⟨the 11th⟩, in comfort ⟨the 4th⟩, in thought ⟨the 5th⟩, in desire ⟨the 7th⟩ and in the younger brother's ⟨house, the 3rd⟩ — debilitated, in enemies' ⟨signs⟩, or aspected by malefics — give the fruit of rekā ⟨through⟩ the navāṃśa of his āyus ⟨the 8th⟩.

एकद्विकत्रिकखलद्युचरा नराणां कल्पस्वविक्रमगताः परतस्तथैव । आदौ तु मध्यवयसि क्रमशस्तदन्त्ये रेकप्रदाः रिपुखलग्रहनीचदृष्टाः

ekadvikatrikakhaladyucarā narāṇāṃ kalpasvavikramagatāḥ paratastathaiva | ādau tu madhyavayasi kramaśastadantye rekapradāḥ ripukhalagrahanīcadṛṣṭāḥ

Malefic sky-goers (khala-dyucara), one, two or three, gone to the 1st (kalpa), the 2nd (sva) and the 3rd (vikrama), and likewise beyond, give rekā to men in turn — at the beginning ⟨of life⟩, in middle age, and at its end — ⟨when⟩ aspected by enemy grahas, malefic grahas and debilitated ones.

निर्विद्यो विधनो दरिद्रसहितो रेकोद्भवः कामुकः क्रोधी दुःखितमानसो रुचिकरः सौभाग्यहीनः पटुः । भिक्षाशी मलिनो विवादनिरतो मात्सर्यरोपान्वितो देवब्राह्मणदूषकः प्रतिदिनं दारात्मजैर्निन्दितः

nirvidyo vidhano daridrasahito rekodbhavaḥ kāmukaḥ krodhī duḥkhitamānaso rucikaraḥ saubhāgyahīnaḥ paṭuḥ | bhikṣāśī malino vivādanirato mātsaryaropānvito devabrāhmaṇadūṣakaḥ pratidinaṃ dārātmajairninditaḥ

One born of rekā is without learning, without wealth, attended by poverty, lustful, wrathful, sorrowful in mind, pleasing ⟨to look on⟩, destitute of good fortune, ⟨yet⟩ shrewd; an eater of alms, filthy, given to quarrels, filled with envy and rage, a defiler of gods and brahmins, and reproached day after day by his wife and sons.

दुष्टात्मा कुनखी कुमार्गनिरतो दौर्भाग्ययोगान्वितो बन्धूनामपकारदूषणपरः स्वल्पायुराभिक्षुकः । मूकोऽन्धो बधिरः प्रमत्तहृदयः कामातुरो रोषवान् पङ्गुर्नेत्रविकारभावसहितो रेकोद्भवः स्यान्नरः

Evil-souled, with diseased nails, addicted to evil ways, endowed with luckless yogas, intent on the injury and defamation of his own kinsmen, short-lived (svalpāyus), a beggar; dumb, blind, deaf, of heedless heart, tormented by lust, full of rage, lame, and beset with disorders of the eyes — such is the man born of rekā.

भाग्येश्वरादतिबलो निधनेश्वरो वा लग्नाधिपस्त्रिदशनाथगुरुर्यदि स्यात् । केन्द्राद्वहिर्दिनकरस्य कराभितप्तो लाभाधिपो यदि विहीनबलो दरिद्रः

bhāgyeśvarādatibalo nidhaneśvaro vā lagnādhipastridaśanāthagururyadi syāt | kendrādvahirdinakarasya karābhitapto lābhādhipo yadi vihīnabalo daridraḥ

If the lord of the eighth is stronger than the lord of the ninth, or if the preceptor of the lord of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ is lord of the ascendant; and if the lord of gain ⟨the eleventh⟩ is outside a kendra, scorched by the Sun's rays and destitute of strength — ⟨the man is⟩ poor.

लाभारिव्ययरन्ध्रपुत्रगृहगा जीवारमन्देन्दुजा नीचस्थानगता यदा रविकरच्छन्नास्तदा भिक्षुकः । भाग्यस्थानगतो दिनेशतनयः सौम्येतरैरीक्षितो लग्नस्थः शशिनन्दनो रवियुतो नीचांशगो भिक्षुक

When Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Mercury occupy the houses of gain ⟨11th⟩, of enemies ⟨6th⟩, of loss ⟨12th⟩, the eighth (randhra) and of sons ⟨5th⟩, and are gone to places of debilitation or hidden by the Sun's rays — then ⟨the native is⟩ a beggar. Saturn gone to the ninth (bhāgya) and aspected by malefics; ⟨or⟩ Mercury in the ascendant, joined with the Sun and standing in a navāṃśa of debilitation — ⟨he is⟩ a beggar.

जीवज्ञशुक्ररविनन्दनभूमिपुत्रा रन्ध्रारिरिःफसुतकर्मगता यदि स्यात् । लग्नेश्वरादतिबली व्ययभावनाथो नीचस्थितो रविकराभिहितो दरिद्रः

jīvajñaśukraravinandanabhūmiputrā randhrāririḥphasutakarmagatā yadi syāt | lagneśvarādatibalī vyayabhāvanātho nīcasthito ravikarābhihito daridraḥ

If Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Mars are placed in the eighth (randhra), the sixth (ari), the twelfth (riḥpha), the fifth (suta) and the tenth (karma); and if the lord of the twelfth house is stronger than the lord of the ascendant, stands in debilitation and is struck by the Sun's rays — ⟨the man is⟩ poor.

शुक्रार्यद्विजराजभूमितनया नीचस्थिता जन्मनि व्योमाये नवमे कलत्रतनये जातो दरिद्रो भवेत् । लग्ने दानवपूजितेऽमरगुरौ पुत्रे धरानन्दने लाभे रात्रिकरे तृतीयभवने नीचं गते भिक्षुकः

⟨When⟩ Venus, Jupiter, the Moon and Mars stand debilitated at birth — in the lagna, or in the 10th, the 11th, the 9th, the 7th or the 5th — the one born will be poor. ⟨When⟩ Venus is in the lagna, Jupiter in the 5th, Mars in the 11th (lābha), and the Moon debilitated in the 3rd house, ⟨he is⟩ a beggar.

लग्ने चरे चरनवांशगतेऽसितेन दृष्टे च नीचगुरुणा यदि भिक्षुकः स्यात् । जातो विनाऽमरपुरोहितलग्नराशिं जीवे रिपुव्ययगते तु भवेद्दरिद्रः

If the lagna is a movable sign and has gone to a movable navāṃśa, and is aspected by Saturn (asita) and by a debilitated Jupiter, ⟨the native⟩ will be a beggar. One born with the lagna-rāśi devoid of Jupiter, and with Jupiter gone to the 6th or the 12th, becomes poor.

जातः स्थिरे लग्नगते तु पापाः केन्द्रत्रिकोणोपगताश्च सर्वे । केन्द्राद्वहिःस्थानगतास्तु सौम्या भिक्षाशनः स्यात्परपोषितश्च

jātaḥ sthire lagnagate tu pāpāḥ kendratrikoṇopagatāśca sarve | kendrādvahiḥsthānagatāstu saumyā bhikṣāśanaḥ syātparapoṣitaśca

One born when a fixed sign occupies the lagna, and all the malefics have gone to the kendras and the trikoṇas, while the benefics stand in the places outside the kendras — he eats of alms and is fed by others.

चरे विलग्ने निशि सौम्यखेटास्त्रिकोणकेन्द्रोपगता नवीर्याः । खलग्रहाः केन्द्रबहिःस्थिताश्चेद् भिक्षाशनं नित्यमुपैति जातः

care vilagne niśi saumyakheṭāstrikoṇakendropagatā navīryāḥ | khalagrahāḥ kendrabahiḥsthitāśced bhikṣāśanaṃ nityamupaiti jātaḥ

⟨With⟩ a movable sign for the ascendant, ⟨born⟩ by night, if the benefic grahas that have gone to the trikoṇas and kendras are without strength, and the malefic grahas (khala-grahāḥ) stand outside the kendras, the one born comes perpetually to eating of alms.

पापा नीचस्थानगाः पापकर्मा, सौम्या नीचस्थानगा गूढपापः । जीवे नीचस्थानगे कर्मराशौ, नीचे भौमे नन्दनस्थे तथैव

pāpā nīcasthānagāḥ pāpakarmā, saumyā nīcasthānagā gūḍhapāpaḥ | jīve nīcasthānage karmarāśau, nīce bhaume nandanasthe tathaiva

Malefics gone to their places of debilitation ⟨make him⟩ a doer of evil deeds; benefics gone to their places of debilitation ⟨make him⟩ a concealed sinner. ⟨So too⟩ when Jupiter is debilitated in the rāśi of karma ⟨the 10th⟩, and likewise when Mars is debilitated and stands in the 5th (nandana).

नीचांशगस्तुङ्गगृहोपयाता जातस्य नीचं फलमाशु दद्युः । नीचङ्गतास्तुङ्गनवांशकस्थाः सौम्यं फलं व्योमचराः प्रकुर्युः

nīcāṃśagastuṅgagṛhopayātā jātasya nīcaṃ phalamāśu dadyuḥ | nīcaṅgatāstuṅganavāṃśakasthāḥ saumyaṃ phalaṃ vyomacarāḥ prakuryuḥ

⟨Grahas⟩ that have reached their sign of exaltation but occupy a navāṃśa of debilitation give the native the debilitated result at once; ⟨grahas⟩ gone to debilitation but standing in a navāṃśa of exaltation — those sky-goers produce the benign result.

निर्भाग्यो विकलेन्द्रियो विषमधीर्दारात्मजैर्निन्दितो भिक्षाशी विषमस्थितो विषमवाक् शिश्नोदरे तत्परः । अन्यायार्जनतत्परस्त्वनुदिनं मात्सर्यवाक् कण्टकी नित्यं स्यात्परदारसक्तहृदयो नीचोऽन्धमूको जडः

⟨He is⟩ luckless, maimed in his organs, crooked of mind, reviled by wife and children, an eater of alms, unsteady in his station, harsh of speech, intent on the genitals and the belly; day after day bent on unjust gain, envious in his talk, a thorn ⟨to others⟩, his heart forever fastened on other men's wives — base, blind, mute and dull.

दारिद्रयोगे कलहप्रियः स्यात् कुष्ठी परेषां हितहृत् कृतघ्नः । वाचालको भूसुरभक्तिहीनः कुदारयुक्तः कुनखी च जातः

dāridrayoge kalahapriyaḥ syāt kuṣṭhī pareṣāṃ hitahṛt kṛtaghnaḥ | vācālako bhūsurabhaktihīnaḥ kudārayuktaḥ kunakhī ca jātaḥ

In a yoga of poverty ⟨the native⟩ will be fond of quarrel, leprous, one who robs others of their welfare (hita-hṛt), ungrateful, a chatterer, devoid of devotion to the brāhmaṇas (bhū-sura, 'gods on earth'), yoked to a bad wife, and of diseased nails.

माने रवौ मन्मथगे निशीशे गेहे शनौ सोदरगे धराजे । लग्ने चरे देवगुरौ धनस्थे जातो निशायां परकार्यकृत्स्यात्

māne ravau manmathage niśīśe gehe śanau sodarage dharāje | lagne care devagurau dhanasthe jāto niśāyāṃ parakāryakṛtsyāt

⟨When⟩ the Sun is in the 10th (māna), the Moon in the 7th (manmatha), Saturn in the 4th (geha), Mars in the 3rd (sodara), the lagna a movable sign and Jupiter in the 2nd (dhana), one born by night becomes a doer of other men's work.

धर्मे भृगौ कामगते मृगाङ्के वाचस्पतौ वित्तविलग्नपे वा । रन्ध्रस्थिते भूतनये च कीर्त्या लग्ने स्थिरे प्रेष्यभवा भवन्ति

dharme bhṛgau kāmagate mṛgāṅke vācaspatau vittavilagnape vā | randhrasthite bhūtanaye ca kīrtyā lagne sthire preṣyabhavā bhavanti

⟨With⟩ Venus in the 9th (dharma), the Moon in the 7th (kāma), Jupiter as lord of the 2nd or of the lagna, Mars standing in the 8th (randhra), and a fixed sign for the lagna — they are born to servitude, ⟨so⟩ it is declared.

प्रेष्यश्चरोदयपतौ निशि सन्धियाते केन्द्रस्थिते यदि खलद्युचरे तु जातः मन्देन्दुजीवभृगुजा दिवि केन्द्रकोणे सन्धिस्थिताः स्थिरविलग्नयुते तथा स्यात् । ऐरावतांशेन्द्रगुरौ ससन्धौ शीतद्युतौ चोत्तमवर्गयुक्ते । केन्द्राद् वहिःस्थे निशि कृष्णपक्षे शुक्रे विलग्ने परकर्मजीवी

⟨One is⟩ a servant when the lord of a movable ascendant, ⟨at a birth⟩ by night, has gone to a rāśi-junction (sandhi) and a malefic graha (khala-dyucara) stands in a kendra. Likewise it will be when Saturn, the Moon, Jupiter and Venus, ⟨at a birth⟩ by day, stand at junctions in a kendra or a trikoṇa, with a fixed sign joined to the lagna. So too when Jupiter is at a junction in the Airāvata aṃśa ⟨reading uncertain⟩ and the Moon is joined to an excellent varga; and when, by night in the dark fortnight, ⟨the Moon⟩ stands outside a kendra and Venus is in the lagna — he lives by another's work.

ऐरावतांशेन्द्रगुरौ ससन्धौ शीतद्युतौ चोत्तमवर्गयुक्ते। केन्द्राद् बहिःस्थे निशि कृष्णपक्षे शुक्रे विलग्ने परकर्मजीवी॥४२॥

airāvatāṃśendragurau sasandhau śītadyutau cottamavargayukte| kendrād bahiḥsthe niśi kṛṣṇapakṣe śukre vilagne parakarmajīvī||42||

When Jupiter stands at a junction in the Airāvata portion, and the cool-rayed Moon, though joined to an excellent varga, stands outside the angles — a birth by night in the dark fortnight with Venus in the ascendant makes a man who lives by another's work.

प्रेष्यो भवेदरिसुखास्पदसन्धियाता भूपुत्रदेवगुरुवासरनायकाश्चेत् । पापांशके शशिनि शोभनराशियुक्ते जीवे विलग्नपयुतेपरकार्यकृत्स्यात्

preṣyo bhavedarisukhāspadasandhiyātā bhūputradevaguruvāsaranāyakāścet | pāpāṃśake śaśini śobhanarāśiyukte jīve vilagnapayuteparakāryakṛtsyāt

He becomes a servant if Mars, Jupiter and the Sun (vāsara-nāyaka) have gone to the junctions of the 6th (ari), the 4th (sukha) and the 10th (āspada). When the Moon, though set in a fine rāśi, is in a malefic's navāṃśa, and Jupiter is joined with the lord of the lagna, he becomes a doer of another's work.

मृगाननस्थे पुरुहूतवन्द्ये सपत्नभावाष्टमरिःफराशौ । रसातलस्थे हिमगौ विलग्नाज्जातः परप्रेष्यमुपैति नित्यम्

mṛgānanasthe puruhūtavandye sapatnabhāvāṣṭamariḥpharāśau | rasātalasthe himagau vilagnājjātaḥ parapreṣyamupaiti nityam

⟨When⟩ Jupiter (revered by Indra) stands in Makara ⟨Capricorn⟩ and in the rāśi of the 6th, the 8th or the 12th (riḥpha), and the Moon stands in the 4th (rasātala) from the lagna, the one born comes perpetually to servitude under others.

पापात्मा कलहप्रियः कठिनवाक् भूदेवतादूषको विद्याभाग्यविहीनदुष्टरसिको मात्सर्यकोपान्वितः । मिथ्यावादविनोदवञ्चनरतः शिश्नोदरे तत्परः कारुण्यास्थिरमानभङ्गिचतुरो योगे परप्रेष्यके

pāpātmā kalahapriyaḥ kaṭhinavāk bhūdevatādūṣako vidyābhāgyavihīnaduṣṭarasiko mātsaryakopānvitaḥ | mithyāvādavinodavañcanarataḥ śiśnodare tatparaḥ kāruṇyāsthiramānabhaṅgicaturo yoge parapreṣyake

In the yoga of servitude to others ⟨the native is⟩: of sinful soul, fond of quarrel, harsh of speech, a reviler of the brāhmaṇas (bhū-devatā, 'gods on earth'), stripped of learning and of fortune, relishing what is depraved, filled with envy and anger; addicted to lying, idle amusement and cheating, intent on the genitals and the belly, unsteady in compassion, and adept at breaking another's honour.

मेषे वृषे चापधरे विलग्ने विकारदन्तो यदि पापदृष्टे । मन्दे मदस्थेऽहियुते कुजे वा बलैर्विहीनेऽङ्गविहीनवान् स्यात्

meṣe vṛṣe cāpadhare vilagne vikāradanto yadi pāpadṛṣṭe | mande madasthe'hiyute kuje vā balairvihīne'ṅgavihīnavān syāt

⟨With⟩ Meṣa, Vṛṣa or Dhanus (cāpa-dhara, 'the bow-bearer') as the ascendant, if aspected by malefics, ⟨the native has⟩ deformed teeth. When Saturn stands in the 7th (mada) joined with Rāhu (ahi), or Mars is bereft of strengths, he will be lacking in limb.

लग्नाद्दशमगश्चन्द्रः सप्तमस्थो धरासुतः । द्वितीयस्थानगो भानुरङ्गहीनो भवेन्नरः

lagnāddaśamagaścandraḥ saptamastho dharāsutaḥ | dvitīyasthānago bhānuraṅgahīno bhavennaraḥ

The Moon in the 10th from the lagna, Mars in the 7th, the Sun standing in the 2nd — the man will be lacking in limb.

त्रिकोणगे ज्ञे विबलैस्ततोऽपरैर्मुखाङ्घ्रिहस्तैर्द्विगुणैस्तदा भवेत् । अवाग्गवीन्दावशुभैर्भसन्धिगैः शुभेक्षिते चेत् कुरुते गिरं चिरात्

trikoṇage jñe vibalaistato'parairmukhāṅghrihastairdviguṇaistadā bhavet | avāggavīndāvaśubhairbhasandhigaiḥ śubhekṣite cet kurute giraṃ cirāt

⟨With⟩ Mercury in a trikoṇa and the rest ⟨of the grahas⟩ weak, ⟨the native⟩ then comes to have mouth, feet and hands doubled. ⟨He is⟩ mute when the Sun and the Moon ⟨stand⟩ with malefics at the junctions of the asterisms (bha-sandhi); if aspected by a benefic, he brings forth speech ⟨only⟩ after long delay.

सौम्यर्क्षांशे रविजरुधिरौ चेत् सदन्तोऽत्र जातः कुब्जः स्वर्क्षे शशिनि तनुगे मन्दमाहेयदृष्टे । पङ्गुर्मीने यमशशिकुजैर्वीक्षिते लग्नसंस्थे सन्धौ पापे शशिनि च जडः स्यान्न चेत्सौम्यदृष्टिः

saumyarkṣāṃśe ravijarudhirau cet sadanto'tra jātaḥ kubjaḥ svarkṣe śaśini tanuge mandamāheyadṛṣṭe | paṅgurmīne yamaśaśikujairvīkṣite lagnasaṃsthe sandhau pāpe śaśini ca jaḍaḥ syānna cetsaumyadṛṣṭiḥ

If Saturn and Mars (rudhira, 'the red one') are in Mercury's rāśi and aṃśa, the one born here is born with teeth. ⟨He is⟩ hunchbacked when the Moon in its own sign occupies the lagna (tanu) and is aspected by Saturn and Mars. ⟨He is⟩ lame when Mīna stands as the lagna aspected by Saturn (yama), the Moon and Mars. And he will be an idiot when a malefic and the Moon are at a junction, if there is no benefic aspect.

सौरशशाङ्कदिवाकरदृष्टे वामनको मकरान्त्यविलग्ने । धीनवमोदयगैश्च दृगाणैः पापयुतैरभुजाङ्घ्रिशिराः स्यात्

sauraśaśāṅkadivākaradṛṣṭe vāmanako makarāntyavilagne | dhīnavamodayagaiśca dṛgāṇaiḥ pāpayutairabhujāṅghriśirāḥ syāt

⟨He is⟩ a dwarf when Makara or the last sign ⟨Mīna⟩ is the ascendant, aspected by Saturn, the Moon and the Sun. And when the drekkāṇas of the 5th (dhī), the 9th and the ascendant (udaya) are joined with malefics, he will be without arms, feet or head.

लग्नद्रेक्काणगो भौमः सौरसूर्येन्दुवीक्षितः । कुर्याद्विशिरसन्तद्वत् पञ्चमे बाहुवर्जितम्

lagnadrekkāṇago bhaumaḥ saurasūryenduvīkṣitaḥ | kuryādviśirasantadvat pañcame bāhuvarjitam

Mars occupying the drekkāṇa of the lagna, aspected by Saturn, the Sun and the Moon, will make ⟨the child⟩ headless; in the same way, ⟨Mars⟩ in the 5th ⟨makes it⟩ deprived of arms.

रविशशियुते सिंहे लग्ने कुजार्किनिरीक्षिते नयनरहितः सौम्यासौम्यैः सबुद्बुदलोचनः । व्ययगृहगतश्चन्द्रो वामं हिनस्त्यपरं रविर्न शुभगदिता योगा याप्या भवन्ति शुभेक्षिताः

raviśaśiyute siṃhe lagne kujārkinirīkṣite nayanarahitaḥ saumyāsaumyaiḥ sabudbudalocanaḥ | vyayagṛhagataścandro vāmaṃ hinastyaparaṃ ravirna śubhagaditā yogā yāpyā bhavanti śubhekṣitāḥ

⟨When⟩ Siṃha is the lagna joined with the Sun and the Moon and aspected by Mars and Saturn, ⟨the native is⟩ without eyes; ⟨aspected⟩ by benefics and malefics ⟨together⟩, he has eyes with a bubble ⟨in them⟩. The Moon gone to the 12th house destroys the left ⟨eye⟩, the Sun the other. The yogas declared inauspicious become endurable when they are aspected by benefics.

शूरः स्तब्धो मध्यदृष्टिर्विलग्ने मेषे स्वोच्चे रोगदृक् सिंहगेऽर्के । रात्रावन्धस्तौलिगे निर्द्धनी स्यात् कर्किण्यर्के लग्नगे बुद्बुदाक्षः

śūraḥ stabdho madhyadṛṣṭirvilagne meṣe svocce rogadṛk siṃhage'rke | rātrāvandhastaulige nirddhanī syāt karkiṇyarke lagnage budbudākṣaḥ

⟨With the Sun⟩ in the ascendant in Meṣa, its own exaltation, ⟨the native is⟩ brave, unbending, of middling sight; with the Sun in Siṃha, of diseased sight; ⟨in⟩ Tulā, he will be blind at night and destitute; with the Sun in Karka occupying the ascendant, of bubble-eyes.

व्यये रवीन्दूयुगपत् पृथक्स्थौ नेत्रे हरेतामपसव्यसव्ये । षट्छिद्रगाश्चाक्षि हरन्ति पापाः सव्यं रिपौ दक्षिणमष्टमस्थाः

vyaye ravīndūyugapat pṛthaksthau netre haretāmapasavyasavye | ṣaṭchidragāścākṣi haranti pāpāḥ savyaṃ ripau dakṣiṇamaṣṭamasthāḥ

The Sun and the Moon in the 12th (vyaya), whether together or standing apart, carry off the eyes — the right and the left respectively. Malefics (pāpāḥ) gone to the 6th and the 8th (chidra) also carry off an eye: those in the 6th the left, those in the 8th the right.

विकर्तनो लग्नगतोऽस्तगो वा दिनेशपुत्राभियुतेक्षितश्चेत् । तस्येक्षणं दक्षिणमाशु हन्यादहिक्षमासूनुयुतस्तु वामम्

vikartano lagnagato'stago vā dineśaputrābhiyutekṣitaścet | tasyekṣaṇaṃ dakṣiṇamāśu hanyādahikṣamāsūnuyutastu vāmam

The Sun, gone to the lagna or to the 7th (asta), if joined with or aspected by Saturn (the son of the lord of day), quickly destroys his right eye; but joined with Rāhu (ahi) and Mars (the son of the Earth), the left.

दिनेशचन्द्रौ यदि रिष्फयातौ सपत्नरन्ध्रव्ययगास्त्वसौम्याः । हन्यादरिस्थो नयनं हि वामं रन्ध्रस्थितो दक्षिणभागनेत्रम्

dineśacandrau yadi riṣphayātau sapatnarandhravyayagāstvasaumyāḥ | hanyādaristho nayanaṃ hi vāmaṃ randhrasthito dakṣiṇabhāganetram

If the Sun and the Moon have gone to the 12th (riṣpha), and malefics stand in the 6th, the 8th and the 12th — then the one in the 6th destroys the left eye, and the one standing in the 8th the eye of the right side.

कुजे धनेशे निधने रवीन्द्वोः शत्रुव्ययस्थानगतेऽर्कजेऽन्धः । रन्ध्रावसानारिगते शशाङ्के शनौ सभौमे यदि नष्टनेत्रः

kuje dhaneśe nidhane ravīndvoḥ śatruvyayasthānagate'rkaje'ndhaḥ | randhrāvasānārigate śaśāṅke śanau sabhaume yadi naṣṭanetraḥ

⟨When⟩ Mars, lord of the 2nd, is in the 8th (nidhana), and Saturn has gone to the 6th or the 12th place from the Sun and the Moon, ⟨the native is⟩ blind. When the Moon, and Saturn together with Mars, are in the 8th (randhra), the 12th (avasāna) and the 6th (ari), then his eyes are destroyed.

षष्ठे चन्द्रेऽष्टमे भानौ लग्नादन्त्यगतेऽर्क्कजे । वित्तस्थानगते भौमे शक्रोऽप्यन्धो भवेद् ध्रुवम्

ṣaṣṭhe candre'ṣṭame bhānau lagnādantyagate'rkkaje | vittasthānagate bhaume śakro'pyandho bhaved dhruvam

⟨With⟩ the Moon in the 6th, the Sun in the 8th, Saturn gone to the last house from the lagna, ⟨and⟩ Mars gone to the place of wealth ⟨the 2nd⟩ — even Śakra ⟨Indra⟩ would surely become blind.

लग्नेश्वरेण सहिते यदि वित्तनाथे दुःस्थेऽक्षिनाशनमथास्फुजिदिन्दुयुक्ते । नेत्रेश्वरे तनुगते यदि नैशिकोऽन्धः स्वोच्चे शुभग्रहयुते न तथा वदन्ति

lagneśvareṇa sahite yadi vittanāthe duḥsthe'kṣināśanamathāsphujidinduyukte | netreśvare tanugate yadi naiśiko'ndhaḥ svocce śubhagrahayute na tathā vadanti

If the lord of wealth ⟨the 2nd⟩ is joined with the lord of the lagna and is ill-placed, ⟨there is⟩ destruction of the eye; so too when Venus (āsphujit) is joined with the Moon. If the lord of the eye has gone to the lagna (tanu), ⟨the native is⟩ blind at night; but when it is in its own exaltation, or joined with a benefic graha, they do not declare it so.

राहौ विलग्ने सकुजेऽर्कपुत्रे साहौ बृहद्वीजमिवाहुरार्याः । लग्नेश्वरे मृत्युगते सराहौ रन्ध्रे समान्दौ च तथैव वाच्यम्

rāhau vilagne sakuje'rkaputre sāhau bṛhadvījamivāhurāryāḥ | lagneśvare mṛtyugate sarāhau randhre samāndau ca tathaiva vācyam

⟨When⟩ Rāhu is in the ascendant together with Mars, and Saturn is with Rāhu, the venerable ones call him one of great seed ⟨i.e. swollen of testicle⟩. When the lord of the lagna has gone to the 8th (mṛtyu) with Rāhu, or is in the 8th (randhra) with Māndi, the same is to be declared.

लग्ने सराहौ गुलिके त्रिकोणे रन्ध्रे कुजे मन्दयुते तथैव । लग्नेश्वराक्रान्ततदंशनाथे राह्वारमान्द्यादियुते तथैव

lagne sarāhau gulike trikoṇe randhre kuje mandayute tathaiva | lagneśvarākrāntatadaṃśanāthe rāhvāramāndyādiyute tathaiva

⟨When⟩ ⟨the lord of the lagna⟩ is in the lagna with Rāhu, Gulika is in a trikoṇa, and Mars in the 8th (randhra) is joined with Saturn — the same again. ⟨And when⟩ the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the lagna is joined with Rāhu, Mars (āra), Māndi and the rest — the same again.

लग्ने रवौ भूमिसुतेन दृष्टे गुल्मक्षयश्वासनिपीडितः स्यात् । भौमे विलग्ने शनिसूर्यदृष्टे वसूरिरोगाभिहतो मनुष्यः

lagne ravau bhūmisutena dṛṣṭe gulmakṣayaśvāsanipīḍitaḥ syāt | bhaume vilagne śanisūryadṛṣṭe vasūrirogābhihato manuṣyaḥ

When the Sun is in the lagna and aspected by the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩, ⟨the native⟩ will be tormented by gulma ⟨abdominal tumour⟩, consumption and asthma. When Mars is in the lagna aspected by Saturn and the Sun, the man is struck down by the vasūri disease ⟨smallpox⟩.

पापेक्षिते रविसुते धनराशियुक्ते पापान्विते शुनकभीतिमुपैति मर्त्यः । तद्भावनाथसहिते दिननाथपुत्रे दृष्टेऽथ वा शुनकभीतिमुपैति जातः

pāpekṣite ravisute dhanarāśiyukte pāpānvite śunakabhītimupaiti martyaḥ | tadbhāvanāthasahite dinanāthaputre dṛṣṭe'tha vā śunakabhītimupaiti jātaḥ

When the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩ stands in the sign of wealth ⟨the 2nd⟩, aspected by malefics and joined with a malefic, the mortal meets with danger from dogs. Or when the son of the lord of day ⟨Saturn⟩ is joined with the lord of that house, or aspected ⟨by him⟩, the native ⟨likewise⟩ meets with danger from dogs.

वीर्यान्विते राहुसमेतराशिनाथान्विते राहुयुते विलग्ने । सर्पाद् भयं विक्रमराशिनाथे बुधेन युक्ते गलरोगमेति

vīryānvite rāhusametarāśināthānvite rāhuyute vilagne | sarpād bhayaṃ vikramarāśināthe budhena yukte galarogameti

When the lagna is joined by Rāhu and by the lord of the sign Rāhu occupies, that lord being endowed with strength, ⟨there is⟩ danger from serpents. When the lord of the sign of prowess ⟨the 3rd⟩ is joined with Mercury, he gets disease of the throat.

नीचे तृतीयेऽरिगृहे विमूढे पापेक्षिते तद्गलरोगवान् स्यात् । विषप्रयोगाद्विषभक्षणाद्वा तेषामभावेऽर्थविनाशनार्थः

nīce tṛtīye'rigṛhe vimūḍhe pāpekṣite tadgalarogavān syāt | viṣaprayogādviṣabhakṣaṇādvā teṣāmabhāve'rthavināśanārthaḥ

When ⟨that lord⟩ is debilitated, or in the third, or in an enemy's house, or eclipsed ⟨combust⟩, and aspected by malefics, he will suffer that same disease of the throat (gala) — from poison administered or from poison eaten; and in the absence of these ⟨causes⟩ he is stricken by the destruction of his wealth.

पापे तृतीये गलरोगमत्र वदन्ति मान्द्यादियुते विशेषात् । भौमान्विते प्रेतपुरीशसूनौ तृतीयराशौ यदि कर्णरोगम्

pāpe tṛtīye galarogamatra vadanti māndyādiyute viśeṣāt | bhaumānvite pretapurīśasūnau tṛtīyarāśau yadi karṇarogam

When a malefic is in the third, they declare here a disease of the throat (gala), especially when it is joined with Māndi and the rest. If the son of the lord of the city of the dead ⟨Saturn⟩, joined with Mars, is in the third sign, then disease of the ear.

पापेक्षिते सोदरभे सपापे कर्णोद्भवं रोगमुपैति जातः । क्रूरादिषष्ट्यंशयुते तदीशे कर्णस्य रोगं कथयन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

pāpekṣite sodarabhe sapāpe karṇodbhavaṃ rogamupaiti jātaḥ | krūrādiṣaṣṭyaṃśayute tadīśe karṇasya rogaṃ kathayanti tajjñāḥ

When the house of the brother ⟨the 3rd⟩ is aspected by malefics and holds a malefic, the native contracts a disease arising in the ear. When its lord is joined with a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa ⟨sixtieth-part⟩, those who know declare disease of the ear.

पैत्तोल्बणं याति रवौ रिपुस्थे पापेक्षिते पापसमन्विते च । भानौ सरन्ध्रे विबले धराजे पापे धनस्थे तु तथैव वाच्यम्

paittolbaṇaṃ yāti ravau ripusthe pāpekṣite pāpasamanvite ca | bhānau sarandhre vibale dharāje pāpe dhanasthe tu tathaiva vācyam

When the Sun is in the sixth, aspected by malefics and joined with a malefic, ⟨the native⟩ comes to an excess of bile. The same is to be declared when the Sun is in the eighth, the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩ is weak, and a malefic stands in the second.

श्लेष्मामयं बुधयुतेऽवनिजे रिपुस्थे क्रूरांशके यदि सितेन्दुसमीक्षिते च । पापेक्षितेऽवनिसुते निधनोपयाते केतौ धनाष्टमगते व्रणरोगमेति

śleṣmāmayaṃ budhayute'vanije ripusthe krūrāṃśake yadi sitendusamīkṣite ca | pāpekṣite'vanisute nidhanopayāte ketau dhanāṣṭamagate vraṇarogameti

When the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩, joined with Mercury, stands in the sixth in a malefic aṃśa and is aspected by Venus and the Moon, ⟨there is⟩ a disease of phlegm (śleṣma-āmaya). When the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩ has gone to the eighth and is aspected by malefics, and Ketu is in the second or the eighth, he contracts the disease of ulcers.

षष्ठेश्वरे पापयुते विलग्ने रन्ध्रस्थिते वा व्रणयुक्शरीरः । कर्मस्थिते तादृशखेचरेन्द्रे व्रणाङ्कितः स्याच्छुभदृग्विहीने

ṣaṣṭheśvare pāpayute vilagne randhrasthite vā vraṇayukśarīraḥ | karmasthite tādṛśakhecarendre vraṇāṅkitaḥ syācchubhadṛgvihīne

When the lord of the sixth, joined with a malefic, stands in the lagna or in the eighth, ⟨the native's⟩ body is covered with ulcers. When such a lord among the sky-goers ⟨grahas⟩ stands in the tenth and is devoid of benefic aspect, he will be marked with ulcers.

लग्नेशभूपुत्रशशाङ्कपुत्राः सह स्थिताः सौम्यतरान्यभावाः । अपानरोगं त्वथवाऽपवित्रं पश्यन्ति षष्ठं मुनयो वदन्ति

lagneśabhūputraśaśāṅkaputrāḥ saha sthitāḥ saumyatarānyabhāvāḥ | apānarogaṃ tvathavā'pavitraṃ paśyanti ṣaṣṭhaṃ munayo vadanti

When the lord of the lagna, the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩ and the son of the Moon ⟨Mercury⟩ stand together in houses other than the benefics' ⟨saumyatarānya-bhāvāḥ: the letters now scan, but the sense of this compound is not certain⟩ and aspect the sixth, the sages declare disease of the anus, or else ⟨that the native is⟩ unclean.

लग्नेशषष्ठाधिपती दिनेशयुक्तौ ज्वरं चन्द्रसमन्वितौ चेत् । जलप्रमादं क्षितिसूनुयुक्तौ युद्धेन वा स्फोटकराशिभिर्वा

lagneśaṣaṣṭhādhipatī dineśayuktau jvaraṃ candrasamanvitau cet | jalapramādaṃ kṣitisūnuyuktau yuddhena vā sphoṭakarāśibhirvā

If the lord of the lagna and the lord of the sixth are joined with the lord of day ⟨the Sun⟩, ⟨there is⟩ fever; if joined with the Moon, a mishap from water; if joined with the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩, ⟨harm⟩ through battle, or through masses of pustules.

पित्तात्प्रमादं यदि सौम्ययुक्तौ निर्व्याधिकः सूरसमन्वितौ चेत् । शुक्रेण भार्याविपदं वदन्ति मन्देन नीचानिलरोगमाहुः

pittātpramādaṃ yadi saumyayuktau nirvyādhikaḥ sūrasamanvitau cet | śukreṇa bhāryāvipadaṃ vadanti mandena nīcānilarogamāhuḥ

If they are joined with the gentle one ⟨Mercury⟩, a mishap from bile; if joined with Jupiter, he is free of disease. With Venus they declare misfortune to the wife; with Saturn they say a base disorder of wind ⟨vāta⟩.

सराहुकेतू यदि सर्पपीडां चोरादिभिर्भीतिमुपैति जातः । केन्द्रत्रिकोणे यदि साहिकेतू वदन्ति तज्ज्ञा निगलं तदानीम्

sarāhuketū yadi sarpapīḍāṃ corādibhirbhītimupaiti jātaḥ | kendratrikoṇe yadi sāhiketū vadanti tajjñā nigalaṃ tadānīm

If ⟨those two lords are⟩ with Rāhu and Ketu, the native meets with affliction from serpents and with fear from thieves and the like. If the serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩ and Ketu are in a kendra or a trikoṇa, then those who know declare fetters ⟨imprisonment⟩ at that time.

षष्ठेश्वरश्चन्द्रसुतेन युक्तः सागुर्विलग्ने स्वयमत्र शिश्नम् । छिनत्त्यसौ सौम्यदृशा विहीनः सभूमिपुत्रो यदि लिङ्गरोगी

ṣaṣṭheśvaraścandrasutena yuktaḥ sāgurvilagne svayamatra śiśnam | chinattyasau saumyadṛśā vihīnaḥ sabhūmiputro yadi liṅgarogī

The lord of the sixth, joined with the son of the Moon ⟨Mercury⟩, standing in the lagna with Rāhu (agu) and bereft of benefic aspect — such a man himself cuts off his penis here; and if he is with the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩, he is diseased in the genitals.

कामेश्वरः शुक्रयुतो रिपुस्थः कलत्रषण्ढत्वमुदीरयन्ति । षष्ठेशलग्नाधिपती समन्दौ केन्द्रत्रिकोणे यदि बन्धनं स्यात्

kāmeśvaraḥ śukrayuto ripusthaḥ kalatraṣaṇḍhatvamudīrayanti | ṣaṣṭheśalagnādhipatī samandau kendratrikoṇe yadi bandhanaṃ syāt

When the lord of desire ⟨the 7th⟩, joined with Venus, stands in the sixth, they declare impotence in respect of the wife. If the lord of the sixth and the lord of the lagna, together with Saturn, are in a kendra or a trikoṇa, there will be imprisonment.

चरे विलग्ने रिपुनाथदृष्टेकुजे च लाभे स्थिरगे च धर्मे । द्वन्द्वेऽस्तराशौ प्रवदेन्नराणां रोगं रिपूणां कृतमाभिचारम्

care vilagne ripunāthadṛṣṭekuje ca lābhe sthirage ca dharme | dvandve'starāśau pravadennarāṇāṃ rogaṃ ripūṇāṃ kṛtamābhicāram

When the lagna is a movable sign aspected by the lord of the sixth and Mars is in the eleventh; when ⟨the lagna⟩ is a fixed sign and ⟨Mars⟩ is in the ninth; when it is a dual sign and ⟨Mars⟩ is in the sign of setting ⟨the 7th⟩ — one should declare a disease of men wrought by the sorcery ⟨abhicāra⟩ of enemies.

जीवे समन्दे दशमेऽर्धचन्द्रे वैकल्यमङ्गे क्षितिजे कलत्रे । दिनेशचन्द्रौ रविराशियुक्तौ चन्द्रर्क्षगौ वा यदि शोषणं स्यात्

jīve samande daśame'rdhacandre vaikalyamaṅge kṣitije kalatre | dineśacandrau ravirāśiyuktau candrarkṣagau vā yadi śoṣaṇaṃ syāt

When Jupiter with Saturn is in the tenth in ⟨the⟩ half-moon ⟨ardhacandra⟩ and Mars is in the seventh, ⟨there is⟩ deformity in the body (vaikalyam aṅge). If the lord of day and the Moon are joined in the Sun's own sign, or stand in the Moon's asterism, there will be wasting ⟨consumption⟩.

लग्ने रवौ भूमिसुते कलत्रे सून्मादभाक् तत्र नरो हि जातः । उन्मादबुद्धिं समुपैति लग्ने शनौ कलत्रे सकुजे त्रिकोणे

lagne ravau bhūmisute kalatre sūnmādabhāk tatra naro hi jātaḥ | unmādabuddhiṃ samupaiti lagne śanau kalatre sakuje trikoṇe

When the Sun is in the lagna and the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩ in the seventh, the man born then is possessed by madness. He comes to a mind deranged when Saturn is in the lagna and Mars is in the seventh, or in a trikoṇa.

लग्नत्रिकोणे दिननाथचन्द्रौ शौर्ये गुरौ केन्द्रसमन्विते वा । सोन्मादबुद्धिः स भवेत्तदानीं शरासनादौ यदि जन्मलग्ने

lagnatrikoṇe dinanāthacandrau śaurye gurau kendrasamanvite vā | sonmādabuddhiḥ sa bhavettadānīṃ śarāsanādau yadi janmalagne

When the lord of day and the Moon are in the lagna or in a trikoṇa, and Jupiter is in the third or joined to a kendra, he becomes one of maddened mind at that time — if the birth-lagna is the Bow ⟨Sagittarius⟩ and the like.

केन्द्रस्थितौ सौम्यनिशाकरौ वा सौम्यांशहीनौ भ्रमसंयुतः स्यात् । केन्द्रस्थिता मन्दनिशाकरार्का जडो भवेदत्र मधूपभोक्ता

kendrasthitau saumyaniśākarau vā saumyāṃśahīnau bhramasaṃyutaḥ syāt | kendrasthitā mandaniśākarārkā jaḍo bhavedatra madhūpabhoktā

When Mercury and the Moon stand in kendras and are without benefic aṃśas, he will be subject to giddiness ⟨bhrama⟩. When Saturn, the Moon and the Sun stand in kendras, he becomes dull-witted here, and a drinker of liquor.

कुलीरकुम्भालिनवांशयुक्ते चन्द्रे समन्दे यदि गुह्यरोगी । चन्द्रे सुखे तद्भवनांशयुक्ते पापान्विते स्याद्यदि कण्ठरोगी

kulīrakumbhālinavāṃśayukte candre samande yadi guhyarogī | candre sukhe tadbhavanāṃśayukte pāpānvite syādyadi kaṇṭharogī

If the Moon, together with Saturn, is in the navāṃśa of the Crab ⟨Cancer⟩, the Pot ⟨Aquarius⟩ or the Scorpion ⟨Scorpio⟩, he is diseased in the private parts. If the Moon is in the fourth in the navāṃśa of that same sign and joined with malefics, he will have a disease of the throat ⟨kaṇṭha⟩.

चन्द्रे सपापे फणिनाथयुक्ते रिःफे सुते रन्ध्रगतेऽथवाऽपि । उन्मादभाक् तत्र सरोषयुक्तो जातस्तु नित्यं कलहप्रियः स्यात्

candre sapāpe phaṇināthayukte riḥphe sute randhragate'thavā'pi | unmādabhāk tatra saroṣayukto jātastu nityaṃ kalahapriyaḥ syāt

When the Moon, accompanied by a malefic, is joined with the lord of serpents ⟨Rāhu⟩ in the twelfth, the fifth, or gone to the eighth, the native there partakes of madness, is filled with rage, and will always be fond of quarrels.

चन्द्रेव्यये वा यदि वासुरेशे मन्दे त्रिकोणे मदरन्ध्रगेऽर्के । दन्ताक्षिरोगी च भवेत्तदानीं नीचारिपापांशगतास्तथैव

candrevyaye vā yadi vāsureśe mande trikoṇe madarandhrage'rke | dantākṣirogī ca bhavettadānīṃ nīcāripāpāṃśagatāstathaiva

If the Moon is in the twelfth, or the lord of the asuras ⟨Venus⟩ ⟨is there⟩, Saturn in a trikoṇa, and the Sun gone to the seventh or the eighth, he becomes diseased in the teeth and the eyes at that time; and so likewise when ⟨these grahas⟩ have gone to debilitation, to an enemy's sign, or to a malefic's aṃśa.

सुताम्बुगौ पापखगौ विशेषाच्चेदष्टरिःफारिगतेऽन्धता स्यात् । शुभग्रहाणामवलोकहीने चान्धो भवत्येव शुभैर्न दोषः

sutāmbugau pāpakhagau viśeṣāccedaṣṭariḥphārigate'ndhatā syāt | śubhagrahāṇāmavalokahīne cāndho bhavatyeva śubhairna doṣaḥ

If two malefic sky-goers ⟨grahas⟩ are in the fifth and the fourth — especially when ⟨the significator⟩ has gone to the eighth, the twelfth or the sixth — there will be blindness. And when it is devoid of the sight of benefic grahas, he does indeed become blind; where benefics ⟨look on⟩ there is no defect.

हित्वा लग्नपतिं विलग्नसहितेष्वन्येषु कुष्ठं वदेत् नीलं भानुसुते तु चण्डकिरणे रक्तं सितं भूमिजे । मन्देन क्षितिजेन वा यदि युते कर्क्यन्त्यनक्रांशके चन्द्रे शोभनयोगदृष्टिरहिते कुष्ठं वदेद् देहिनाम्

hitvā lagnapatiṃ vilagnasahiteṣvanyeṣu kuṣṭhaṃ vadet nīlaṃ bhānusute tu caṇḍakiraṇe raktaṃ sitaṃ bhūmije | mandena kṣitijena vā yadi yute karkyantyanakrāṃśake candre śobhanayogadṛṣṭirahite kuṣṭhaṃ vaded dehinām

Leaving aside the lord of the lagna, when the other ⟨grahas⟩ stand together with the lagna, one should declare leprosy: dark in the case of the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩, red in the case of the fierce-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩, white in the case of the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩. And if the Moon, joined with Saturn or with Mars, stands in the navāṃśa of the Crab ⟨Cancer⟩, the Last ⟨Pisces⟩ or the Crocodile ⟨Capricorn⟩, devoid of auspicious yoga and aspect, one should declare leprosy in men.

पापान्विते शशिनि रन्ध्रपलग्नराशौ सर्पेक्षिते निधनपे यदि गुह्यरोगी । रन्ध्रे चतुस्त्रितयपापयुते तथैव सौम्यग्रहेण सहिते यदि रोगहीनः

pāpānvite śaśini randhrapalagnarāśau sarpekṣite nidhanape yadi guhyarogī | randhre catustritayapāpayute tathaiva saumyagraheṇa sahite yadi rogahīnaḥ

When the Moon, joined with malefics, is in the sign of the lord of the eighth or in the lagna sign, and the lord of death ⟨the 8th lord⟩ is aspected by the serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩, he is diseased in the private parts. So likewise when the eighth is joined by three or four malefics; but if it is joined with a benefic graha, he is free of disease.

जलचरगृहगेन्दौ तत्पतौ षष्ठयाते जलगृहगतखेटैरीक्षिते मूत्रकृच्छ्रम् । परिभवरिपुयाते शीतगौ भौमदृष्टे रविसुतयुतलग्ने शोणितं रोगमेति

jalacaragṛhagendau tatpatau ṣaṣṭhayāte jalagṛhagatakheṭairīkṣite mūtrakṛcchram | paribhavaripuyāte śītagau bhaumadṛṣṭe ravisutayutalagne śoṇitaṃ rogameti

When the Moon is in a watery sign and its lord has gone to the sixth, and it is aspected by grahas placed in watery signs, ⟨there is⟩ strangury ⟨painful urination⟩. When the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩ has gone to the sixth, the house of humiliation and enemies, and is aspected by Mars, and the lagna is joined by the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩, he contracts a disease of the blood.

क्षीणे मन्दगृहोदये हिमकरे पापग्रहैरन्विते रन्ध्रारातिगतेऽथवा पवनकृद् गुल्मादिरोगं वदेत् । चन्द्रे पापवियच्चरान्तरगते मन्दे मदस्थानगे जातो विद्रधिजन्मशोषजनितैः सन्तप्तदेहो भवेत्

kṣīṇe mandagṛhodaye himakare pāpagrahairanvite randhrārātigate'thavā pavanakṛd gulmādirogaṃ vadet | candre pāpaviyaccarāntaragate mande madasthānage jāto vidradhijanmaśoṣajanitaiḥ santaptadeho bhavet

When the waning Moon rises in a house of Saturn ⟨Capricorn or Aquarius⟩ joined with malefic grahas, or has gone to the eighth or the sixth, one should declare wind-caused gulma and the rest. When the Moon has gone into the space between malefic sky-goers and Saturn is in the place of desire ⟨the 7th⟩, the native's body will be racked by ills born of abscess and of wasting.

अजीर्णगुल्मामयशूलमेति कुजे विलग्ने विबलेऽरिनाथे । लग्ने सपापे फणिनायके वा मन्देऽष्टमे कुक्षिरुगर्दितः स्यात्

ajīrṇagulmāmayaśūlameti kuje vilagne vibale'rināthe | lagne sapāpe phaṇināyake vā mande'ṣṭame kukṣirugarditaḥ syāt

When Mars is in the lagna and the lord of the sixth is weak, ⟨the native⟩ comes to indigestion, the gulma disease and colic. When the lagna holds a malefic, or the chief of serpents ⟨Rāhu⟩, and Saturn is in the eighth, he will be afflicted by disease of the belly (kukṣi-ruj).

हृच्छूलरोगमुपयाति सुखे फणीशे पापेक्षिते गतबले यदि लग्ननाथे । शूलामयं तनुपतौ रिपुनीचराशौ भौमे सुखे रविसुते यदि पापदृष्टे

hṛcchūlarogamupayāti sukhe phaṇīśe pāpekṣite gatabale yadi lagnanāthe | śūlāmayaṃ tanupatau ripunīcarāśau bhaume sukhe ravisute yadi pāpadṛṣṭe

He comes to the disease of pain in the heart when the lord of serpents ⟨Rāhu⟩ is in the fourth aspected by malefics and the lord of the lagna is bereft of strength. ⟨There is⟩ the disease of colic when the lord of the body ⟨the lagna-lord⟩ is in an enemy's sign or in debilitation, and Mars and the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩ are in the fourth aspected by malefics.

जातो भुक्तिविरोधरोगनिहतो रन्ध्रेश्वरे दुर्बले लग्ने पापनिरीक्षिते परिभवस्थाने समन्देक्षिते । वान्तिभ्रान्तिजपाण्डुमेति सकुजे चन्द्रे रिपुस्थानगे जातः शूलविसर्पमेति दिनकृच्चन्द्रारयुक्ते यदा

jāto bhuktivirodharoganihato randhreśvare durbale lagne pāpanirīkṣite paribhavasthāne samandekṣite | vāntibhrāntijapāṇḍumeti sakuje candre ripusthānage jātaḥ śūlavisarpameti dinakṛccandrārayukte yadā

When the lord of the randhra (the 8th) is weak, the lagna is aspected by malefics, and the paribhava-sthāna (the 6th) is aspected by Saturn, the native is struck down by a disease that obstructs his eating. When the Moon, joined with Kuja (Mars), has gone to the ripu-sthāna (the 6th), he gets vomiting, giddiness, and the pāṇḍu ⟨anaemia⟩ that arises from them. And when the day-maker (the Sun) is joined with the Moon and Āra (Mars), the native gets śūla ⟨piercing colic⟩ and visarpa ⟨erysipelas⟩.

आरेक्षिते यदि विलग्नगृहेऽरिनाथे मानेऽथवाऽस्ततनुगे कृतमाभिचारम् । लग्नाधिपेन सहितेऽवनिजे विलग्ने केन्द्रेऽथवा रिपुपतौ तनुगे तथा स्यात्

ārekṣite yadi vilagnagṛhe'rināthe māne'thavā'statanuge kṛtamābhicāram | lagnādhipena sahite'vanije vilagne kendre'thavā ripupatau tanuge tathā syāt

If the lord of the ari (the 6th), aspected by Āra (Mars), stands in the lagna-house, or has gone to the māna (the 10th), the asta (the 7th) or the tanu (the 1st), ⟨one should declare that⟩ sorcery (abhicāra) has been worked ⟨against him⟩. It is the same when Avanija (Mars, the earth-born) is in the lagna together with the lord of the lagna, or in a kendra, or when the lord of the ripu (the 6th) has gone to the tanu (the 1st).

जातो निर्जरदर्शनेन जनितं रोगं सुखस्थानगे माने लग्नगतेऽथवाऽमरगुरौ केन्द्रे समन्दात्मजे । मन्देऽस्ते चरलग्नगे यदि शुभे पापेक्षिते शीतगौ भूतप्रेतपिशाचदर्शनवशाद् रोगं समेति ध्रुवम्

jāto nirjaradarśanena janitaṃ rogaṃ sukhasthānage māne lagnagate'thavā'maragurau kendre samandātmaje | mande'ste caralagnage yadi śubhe pāpekṣite śītagau bhūtapretapiśācadarśanavaśād rogaṃ sameti dhruvam

When Amaraguru (Jupiter, the preceptor of the immortals) has gone to the sukha-sthāna (the 4th), or is in the māna (the 10th), or has gone to the lagna, and the ⟨Moon's⟩ son (Mercury) is in a kendra together with Manda (Saturn), the native ⟨gets⟩ a disease produced by the sight of a nirjara ⟨a god⟩. When Manda (Saturn) is in the asta (the 7th), a benefic has gone to a movable lagna, and the cool-rayed one (the Moon) is aspected by a malefic, he assuredly gets a disease through the sight of bhūtas, pretas and piśācas.

चन्द्रे पापनिरीक्षिते रिपुगते पापान्विते वातजम् जातः शोणितपित्तमेति वसुधापुत्रे तथाऽस्ते सति । सौम्ये वातकफामयं भृगुसुते मूलातिसारं तथा मन्दे गुल्ममुपैति राहुशिखिनोः पैशाचरोगं वदेत्

candre pāpanirīkṣite ripugate pāpānvite vātajam jātaḥ śoṇitapittameti vasudhāputre tathā'ste sati | saumye vātakaphāmayaṃ bhṛgusute mūlātisāraṃ tathā mande gulmamupaiti rāhuśikhinoḥ paiśācarogaṃ vadet

When the Moon, aspected by malefics and joined with malefics, has gone to the ripu (the 6th), ⟨the disease is⟩ born of vāta ⟨wind⟩. The native gets śoṇita-pitta ⟨bleeding from pitta⟩ when the son of the earth (Mars) is likewise ⟨so placed⟩, being in the asta (the 7th). With Saumya (Mercury), a disease (āmaya) of vāta and kapha; with the son of Bhṛgu (Venus), mūlātisāra ⟨dysentery with piles⟩; likewise with Manda (Saturn) he gets gulma ⟨abdominal tumour⟩; and for Rāhu and Śikhin (Ketu) one should declare a piśāca-disease.

कासश्वासक्षयजनिरुजं भानुभौमाहिदृष्टे षष्ठे सौरे गुलिकसहिते सौम्यदृग्योगहीने । रिःफे पापे शशिनि रिपुगे भानुजे रन्ध्रयाते पापांशस्थे तनुगृहपतौ पीनसं रोगमेति

kāsaśvāsakṣayajanirujaṃ bhānubhaumāhidṛṣṭe ṣaṣṭhe saure gulikasahite saumyadṛgyogahīne | riḥphe pāpe śaśini ripuge bhānuje randhrayāte pāpāṃśasthe tanugṛhapatau pīnasaṃ rogameti

⟨The native gets⟩ a disease that gives rise to cough, dyspnoea and consumption when Saura (Saturn) is in the sixth, joined with Gulika ⟨Māndi⟩, aspected by the Sun, Bhauma (Mars) and Ahi (Rāhu), and devoid of the aspect and the conjunction of benefics. When a malefic is in the riḥpha (the 12th), the Moon has gone to the ripu (the 6th), Bhānuja (Saturn, the Sun's son) has gone to the randhra (the 8th), and the lord of the tanu-gṛha (the 1st) stands in a malefic's aṃśa, he gets the disease pīnasa ⟨catarrh⟩.

मन्दे कुलीरभवनोपगते मृगस्थे चन्द्रे जलोदररुजं समुपैति जातः । सारे शनौ रिपुगते रविराहुदृष्टे लग्नाधिपे च विबले सति दीर्घरोगी

mande kulīrabhavanopagate mṛgasthe candre jalodararujaṃ samupaiti jātaḥ | sāre śanau ripugate ravirāhudṛṣṭe lagnādhipe ca vibale sati dīrgharogī

When Manda (Saturn) has gone to the house of Kulīra (Cancer) and the Moon is in Mṛga (Capricorn), the native gets the disease of jalodara ⟨dropsy⟩. When Saturn, together with Āra (Mars), has gone to the ripu (the 6th) and is aspected by the Sun and Rāhu, and the lord of the lagna is weak, ⟨the native is⟩ chronically diseased.

हस्वः कुजे निजगृहे सुखविक्रमस्थे चन्द्रात्मजे रविसुते यदि लग्नगे स्यात् । स्वर्क्षे कुजे सुखसहोदरगेन्दुसूनौ होराधिपे शनियुते तु तथा वदन्ति

hasvaḥ kuje nijagṛhe sukhavikramasthe candrātmaje ravisute yadi lagnage syāt | svarkṣe kuje sukhasahodaragendusūnau horādhipe śaniyute tu tathā vadanti

⟨The native is⟩ short if Kuja (Mars) is in his own house, the Moon's son (Mercury) stands in the sukha (the 4th) or the vikrama (the 3rd), and Ravisuta (Saturn) is in the lagna. They declare the same when Mars is in his own rāśi, Indusūnu (Mercury) has gone to the sukha (the 4th) or the sahodara (the 3rd), and the lord of the horā (the ascendant) is joined with Saturn.

लग्नाद्व्ययारिगतयोः शशितिग्मरश्म्योः पत्न्या सहैकनयनस्य वदन्ति जन्म । द्यूनस्थयोर्नवमपञ्चमसंस्थयोर्वा शुक्रार्कयोर्विकलदारमुशन्ति जातम्

lagnādvyayārigatayoḥ śaśitigmaraśmyoḥ patnyā sahaikanayanasya vadanti janma | dyūnasthayornavamapañcamasaṃsthayorvā śukrārkayorvikaladāramuśanti jātam

When the Moon and the hot-rayed one (the Sun) are, from the lagna, in the vyaya (the 12th) and the ari (the 6th) respectively, they declare the birth of one who, along with his wife, is one-eyed. And when Venus and the Sun stand in the dyūna (the 7th), or are stationed in the ninth and the fifth, they call the native one whose wife is maimed.

नवमायतृतीयधीयुता न च सौम्यैरशुभा निरीक्षिताः । नियमाच्छ्रवणोपघातदा रदवैकृत्यकराश्च सप्तमे

navamāyatṛtīyadhīyutā na ca saumyairaśubhā nirīkṣitāḥ | niyamācchravaṇopaghātadā radavaikṛtyakarāśca saptame

Inauspicious ⟨grahas⟩ occupying the ninth, the āya (the 11th), the third and the dhī (the 5th), and not aspected by benefics, of necessity inflict injury upon the hearing; and in the seventh they produce deformity of the teeth.

वर्गोत्तमादिशुभवर्गयुतेऽमरेज्ये लग्ने रसातलगते यदि वा बलाढ्ये । वित्तायवृद्धिगृहगेषु वियच्चरेषु लग्नाधिपे बलयुते सुखमेति जातः

vargottamādiśubhavargayute'marejye lagne rasātalagate yadi vā balāḍhye | vittāyavṛddhigṛhageṣu viyaccareṣu lagnādhipe balayute sukhameti jātaḥ

When Amarejya (Jupiter, worshipped by the immortals) is joined with auspicious vargas beginning with vargottama and stands in the lagna, or has gone to the rasātala (the 4th), or is rich in strength; when the sky-goers ⟨the grahas⟩ are in the houses of vitta (the 2nd), āya (the 11th) and vṛddhi (the 4th); and when the lord of the lagna is endowed with strength — the native attains happiness.

ये जातभङ्गा नृपयोगभङ्गाः प्रेष्या दरिद्राङ्गविहीनरेकाः । ये रोगभेदाः परिकीर्तितास्ते सूर्यादिसर्वद्युचरप्रसादात्

ye jātabhaṅgā nṛpayogabhaṅgāḥ preṣyā daridrāṅgavihīnarekāḥ | ye rogabhedāḥ parikīrtitāste sūryādisarvadyucaraprasādāt

The jāta-bhaṅgas ⟨the ruinings of the nativity⟩, the breakings of royal yogas, the preṣya ⟨servitude⟩ yogas, the rekhās ⟨that make a man⟩ destitute and deficient in limb, and the varieties of disease that have been declared — all these ⟨have been set forth⟩ by the grace of all the sky-goers beginning with the Sun.

कन्यामीननृयुग्मगोहरिधनुः कुम्भस्थितैः खेचरैः सेनामत्तमतङ्गवाजिविपुलो राजा यशस्वी भवेत् । तौलिच्छागवृषावसानगृहगैर्जातोऽखिलक्ष्मापतिर्गोचापान्त्यभकेन्द्रगैः पृथुयशाः पृथ्वीश्वरो जायते

When the sky-goers (grahas) stand in Kanyā (Virgo), Mīna (Pisces), the human pair (Mithuna, Gemini), Go (Taurus), Hari (Leo), Dhanus (Sagittarius) and Kumbha (Aquarius), one becomes a renowned king, abounding in armies, rutting elephants and horses. Born with them occupying the houses Tulā (Libra), Chāga (Aries, ‘the goat’), Vṛṣa (Taurus) and Avasāna (Pisces, ‘the last’), he is lord of the whole earth; and with them in Go (Taurus), Cāpa (Sagittarius) and Antya (the last sign, Pisces) as kendras, one of wide fame is born a ruler of the earth.

कन्यामेषतुलामृगेन्द्रघटगैर्जातो महीपालको दुश्चिक्यप्रतिभारसातलगतैर्बह्वर्थदेशाधिपः । खेटा विक्रमबन्धुपुत्रगृहगा द्वौ वित्तधर्मस्थितौ शेषौ लग्नकलत्रराशिसहितौ राजा भवेद्धार्मिकः

With grahas in Kanyā (Virgo), Meṣa (Aries), Tulā (Libra), Mṛgendra (Leo) and Ghaṭa (Aquarius), one is born a protector of the earth; with them gone to the 3rd house (duścikya), ⟨…⟩ and the 4th (rasātala), ⟨he becomes⟩ lord of a country of abundant wealth. When the sky-goers (grahas) occupy the houses of the 3rd (vikrama), the 4th (bandhu) and the 5th (putra), two stand in the 2nd (vitta) and the 9th (dharma), and the remaining two are together in the rāśis of the ascendant (lagna) and the 7th (kalatra) — he becomes a righteous king.

तारेशहोरासहिता नभोगा जातो यशस्वी मनुजाधिपः स्यात् । सौम्यास्तपोलाभगृहोपयाताः पापा रिपुव्योमगता नरेशः

tāreśahorāsahitā nabhogā jāto yaśasvī manujādhipaḥ syāt | saumyāstapolābhagṛhopayātāḥ pāpā ripuvyomagatā nareśaḥ

When the sky-goers (grahas) are together in the horā of the lord of the stars (the Moon), one is born a renowned lord of men. When the benefics have gone to the houses of the 9th (tapas) and the 11th (lābha), and the malefics are in the 6th (ripu) and the 10th (vyoman) — ⟨he is⟩ a lord of men.

लग्नास्पदानङ्गगृहोपयाता बलान्विताः शोभनखेचरेन्द्राः । कुजार्कपुत्रौ नवमायसंस्थौ नृपो भवेत्सर्वगुणाभिरामः

lagnāspadānaṅgagṛhopayātā balānvitāḥ śobhanakhecarendrāḥ | kujārkaputrau navamāyasaṃsthau nṛpo bhavetsarvaguṇābhirāmaḥ

⟨When⟩ the excellent chief sky-goers (grahas), endowed with strength, occupy the houses of the ascendant (lagna), the 10th (āspada) and the 7th (anaṅga), and Mars and Saturn are placed in the 9th and the 11th (āya) — one becomes a king delightful with every good quality.

वर्गोत्तमांशोपगते विलग्ने चन्द्रेऽथवा चन्द्रविमुक्तखेटैः । सुखास्पदानङ्गगृहोपयातैर्विलोकितैर्मानवनायकः स्यात्

vargottamāṃśopagate vilagne candre'thavā candravimuktakheṭaiḥ | sukhāspadānaṅgagṛhopayātairvilokitairmānavanāyakaḥ syāt

When the ascendant (lagna), or the Moon, has gone to a vargottama aṃśa, and is aspected by the sky-goers other than the Moon which occupy the houses of the 4th (sukha), the 10th (āspada) and the 7th (anaṅga) — one becomes a leader of men (mānava-nāyaka).

अश्विन्यामुदयस्थिते भृगुसुते सर्वग्रहैरीक्षिते जातो राजकुलाग्रजो रिपुकुलध्वंसी बहुस्त्रीरतः । हित्वा नीचनवांशमम्बरचरैस्त्र्याद्यैः स्वभागान्वितैरेको लग्नगतो यदि क्षितिपतिः पञ्चादिकैर्वित्तवान्

When Venus stands in the ascendant in Aśvinī, aspected by all the grahas, the native is born the eldest ⟨son⟩ of a royal house, a destroyer of the enemy’s clan, and given to many women. Leaving aside a debilitation navāṃśa: if three or more of the sky-goers are joined with their own aṃśa and one of them is in the ascendant (lagna), ⟨he is⟩ a lord of the earth; with five or more, ⟨he is⟩ wealthy.

शुक्रेऽरिनीचमपहाय कुटुम्बसंस्थे लग्नेश्वरे बलयुते पृथिवीपतिः स्यात् । चन्द्रेऽतिमित्रनिजभागगते निशायां शुक्रेक्षिते नृपतिरन्यविलोकहीने

When Venus, avoiding an enemy’s sign and debilitation, stands in the 2nd house (kuṭumba), and the lord of the ascendant (lagna) is endowed with strength, one becomes a lord of the earth. When the Moon has gone to the navāṃśa of a great friend or its own, in a night ⟨birth⟩, aspected by Venus and devoid of any other’s aspect — ⟨he is⟩ a king.

मीने मीननवांशके भृगुसुते लग्नस्थिते भूपतिः स्वोच्चे लग्नगृहाधिपे बलयुते राजा शशाङ्केक्षिते । लग्नस्वामिनि तुङ्गमन्दिरगते नीचारिभागंविना केन्द्रस्थानगते नभोगवियुते जातो महीपालकः

When Venus stands in the ascendant in Mīna (Pisces), in the navāṃśa of Mīna — a lord of the earth. When the lord of the ascendant’s sign is in its own exaltation, endowed with strength and aspected by the Moon — a king. When the lord of the ascendant occupies its exaltation house, excluding a debilitation or enemy navāṃśa, and occupies a kendra unjoined by ⟨other⟩ sky-goers — the native is born a protector of the earth.

भाग्यस्थे निजतुङ्गमित्रभवने सम्पूर्णगात्रे विधौ लग्नादास्पदवित्तराशिगतयोः शन्यारयोर्भूपतिः । चन्द्रे पूर्णकलान्विते बलयुते लग्नं विना केन्द्रगे दृष्टे दानवमन्त्रिणा च गुरुणा राजा महीदानकृत्

bhāgyasthe nijatuṅgamitrabhavane sampūrṇagātre vidhau lagnādāspadavittarāśigatayoḥ śanyārayorbhūpatiḥ | candre pūrṇakalānvite balayute lagnaṃ vinā kendrage dṛṣṭe dānavamantriṇā ca guruṇā rājā mahīdānakṛt

When the Moon, full in body ⟨full-orbed⟩, stands in the 9th (bhāgya) in its own exaltation or a friend’s house, and Saturn and Mars occupy the rāśis of the 10th (āspada) and the 2nd (vitta) from the ascendant (lagna) — a lord of the earth. When the Moon, possessed of full digits and of strength, is in a kendra other than the ascendant and is aspected by the preceptor of the dānavas (Venus) and by Jupiter — ⟨he is⟩ a king who makes gifts of land.

एकस्मिन्परमोच्चगेऽतिसुहृदा दृष्टे यदि क्ष्मापतिस्तत्तुल्यो भृगुनन्दने बलयुते लाभेऽथवा रिःफगे । द्वित्रिव्योमचरेषु तुङ्गगृहगेष्विन्दौ कुलीरे स्थिते लग्ने पूर्णबलान्विते नरपतिः सर्वत्र पूज्यो भवेत्

If one ⟨graha⟩ has gone to its deep exaltation (paramocca) and is aspected by a great friend — a lord of the earth. His equal ⟨is born⟩ when Venus, endowed with strength, is in the 11th (lābha) or the 12th (riḥpha). When two or three sky-goers occupy their exaltation houses, the Moon stands in Kulīra (Cancer), and the ascendant (lagna) is endowed with full strength — he becomes a king honoured everywhere.

सर्वे चोपचयस्थिताः शुभखगाः पापा विलग्नस्थिता मानस्था यदि वा जितारिनिचयः क्रूरो महीपालकः । भानौ सप्तमगे निशाकरयुते तुङ्गादिवर्गस्थिते सौम्यासौम्यनिरीक्षितेऽतिचपलो राजाऽथवा तत्समः

And when all the benefic sky-goers stand in the upacaya houses ⟨the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th⟩, and the malefics stand in the ascendant (lagna) or in the 10th (māna) — ⟨he is⟩ a harsh protector of the earth who has conquered the host of his enemies. When the Sun is in the 7th, joined with the Moon, placed in the exaltation and other vargas, and aspected by benefics and by non-benefics — ⟨he is⟩ exceedingly fickle, a king or his equal.

चापाजसिंहभवनोदयगे धराजे मित्रेक्षिते निजबलार्जितराज्यकर्ता । दुश्चिक्यधर्मसुतगा रविचन्द्रजीवा वीर्यान्विता यदि कुबेरसमो नृपालः

cāpājasiṃhabhavanodayage dharāje mitrekṣite nijabalārjitarājyakartā | duścikyadharmasutagā ravicandrajīvā vīryānvitā yadi kuberasamo nṛpālaḥ

When Mars (dharā-ja, the earth's son) stands in a Cāpa (Sagittarius), Aja (Aries) or Siṃha (Leo) ascendant and is aspected by a friend, ⟨the native⟩ is a maker of a kingdom won by his own strength. And when the Sun, the Moon and Jupiter, endowed with virility ⟨strength⟩, have gone to the 3rd (duśchikya), the 9th (dharma) and the 5th (suta), he is a king the equal of Kubera.

नीचङ्गतो जन्मनि यो ग्रहः स्यात्तद्राशिनाथोऽपि तदुच्चनाथः । स चन्द्रलग्नाद्यदि केन्द्रवर्ती राजा भवेद्धार्मिकचक्रवर्ती

nīcaṅgato janmani yo grahaḥ syāttadrāśinātho'pi taduccanāthaḥ | sa candralagnādyadi kendravartī rājā bhaveddhārmikacakravartī

Whatever graha stands debilitated at birth — the lord of that ⟨debilitation⟩ sign, and likewise the lord of its exaltation: if that one occupies a kendra from the candra-lagna (the Moon’s sign taken as ascendant), he becomes a righteous cakravartin king.

नीचस्थितग्रहनवांशपतौ त्रिकोणे केन्द्रेऽथवा चरगृहे यदि जन्मलग्ने । तद्भावपे चरगृहांशसमन्विते वा जातो महीपतिरतिप्रबलोऽथवा स्यात्

nīcasthitagrahanavāṃśapatau trikoṇe kendre'thavā caragṛhe yadi janmalagne | tadbhāvape caragṛhāṃśasamanvite vā jāto mahīpatiratiprabalo'thavā syāt

If the lord of the navāṃśa of a debilitated graha is in a trikoṇa, or in a kendra, or in a movable sign from the birth ascendant (janma-lagna); or if the lord of that house (bhāva) is joined with the aṃśa of a movable sign — the native is born a lord of the earth, or else exceedingly powerful.

मानस्थानपतौ पराभवगते पारावतांशेऽथवा स्वोच्चस्वर्क्षसुहृन्नवांशकगते राजाधिराजो भवेत् । लग्ने नीचगृहे पुरन्दरगुरौ रन्ध्रे सपापग्रहे तद्राश्यंशसमन्विते यदि तदा राजाधिराजो भवेत्

When the lord of the 10th house (māna-sthāna) has gone to defeat (parābhava), or is in the pārāvata aṃśa, or has gone to its own exaltation, its own sign, or a friend’s navāṃśa — he becomes a rājādhirāja, a king of kings. When Jupiter, the preceptor of Purandara ⟨Indra⟩, is in the ascendant in a debilitation house, and the 8th (randhra) holds a malefic graha joined with the aṃśa of that sign — then too he becomes a king of kings.

जीवस्य व्ययगे शनौ सहजपे लाभेऽथवा भास्करे रिःफे लग्नपतौ तु निर्जरगुरावुर्वीशराजो भवेत् । भाग्येशस्थनवांशपे तनयगे बन्धुस्थिते वा नृपो दृष्टे वा शशिजे सुरेन्द्रगुरुणा युक्ते स राजप्रियः

When Saturn is in the 12th from Jupiter; the lord of the 3rd (sahaja), or the Sun, is in the 11th (lābha); and the lord of the ascendant together with Jupiter, preceptor of the ageless ones, is in the 12th (riḥpha) — he becomes a king over the lords of the earth. When the lord of the navāṃśa in which the lord of the 9th (bhāgya) stands is in the 5th (tanaya) or in the 4th (bandhu) — a king. Or when Mercury is aspected by, or joined with, Jupiter the preceptor of Surendra ⟨Indra⟩ — he is dear to the king.

भाग्येशेन निरीक्षिते शशिसुते केन्द्रस्थिते भूभुजाम् तुल्यत्वं समुपैति जातमनुजो लग्नस्थिते वाक्पतौ । केन्द्रे वा यदि कोणगे रविसुते मूलत्रिकोणोच्चगे लाभेशेन निरीक्षिते बलयुते भूपालतुल्यो भवेत्

When Mercury (śaśi-suta, the Moon's son) stands in a kendra and is aspected by the lord of the 9th (bhāgya), and Jupiter (vākpati) is in the ascendant (lagna) — the man born attains equality with kings. Or if Saturn is in a kendra or a trikoṇa, gone to its mūlatrikoṇa or its exaltation, aspected by the lord of the 11th (lābha) and endowed with strength — he becomes the equal of a ruler of the earth.

लग्ने शीतकरे गुरौ सुखगते कर्मस्थिते भार्गवे तुङ्गस्वर्क्षगते दिवाकरसुते राजाऽथवा तत्समः । अन्त्योपान्त्यविलग्नवित्तसहजव्यापारगेहेषु वा सौम्यव्योमचरेषु भूपतिसमो राजाधिराजप्रियः

The Moon in the ascendant (lagna), Jupiter in the 4th (sukha), Venus in the 10th (karma), and Saturn gone to its exaltation or its own sign — a king, or his equal. Or when the benefic sky-goers are in the houses of the 12th (antya), the 11th (upāntya), the ascendant (vilagna), the 2nd (vitta), the 3rd (sahaja) and the 10th (vyāpāra) — ⟨he is⟩ the equal of a lord of the earth, dear to the king of kings.

मन्दे चोत्तमवर्गके बलयुते नीचांशवर्ज्ये गुरौ भानौ शोभनदृष्टिभागसहिते राजप्रियस्तत्समः । राहौ कर्मणि लाभगे रविसुते भाग्याधिपेनेक्षिते लग्नेशे यदि नीचखेटरहिते पृथ्वीशतुल्यो भवेत्

When Saturn is in an excellent varga, endowed with strength; Jupiter free of a debilitation aṃśa; the Sun accompanied by an auspicious aspect and an auspicious navāṃśa — ⟨he is⟩ dear to the king, his equal. When Rāhu is in the 10th (karman), Saturn in the 11th (lābha), aspected by the lord of the 9th (bhāgya), and the lord of the ascendant is free of debilitated sky-goers — he becomes the equal of a lord of the earth.

नीचं गता द्वित्रिचतुर्ग्रहेन्द्राः षष्ठ्यंशके शोभनभागयुक्ताः । स्वतुङ्गराश्यंशसमन्विता वा धरापतिर्धार्मिकचक्रवर्ती

nīcaṃ gatā dvitricaturgrahendrāḥ ṣaṣṭhyaṃśake śobhanabhāgayuktāḥ | svatuṅgarāśyaṃśasamanvitā vā dharāpatirdhārmikacakravartī

Two, three or four of the chief grahas gone to debilitation, ⟨yet⟩ joined with an auspicious portion in the ṣaṣṭhyaṃśa, or joined with the aṃśa of their own exaltation rāśi — ⟨the native is⟩ a lord of the earth, a righteous cakravartin.

लग्नात्कर्मशुभाधिपौ शुभगृहाद्व्यापारधर्मेश्वरौ मानादास्पदभाग्यपौ च सहितावन्योन्यराशिस्थितौ । अन्योन्येक्षणकेन्द्रगौ धनपतेः सम्बन्धिनौ चेद्धनी जातो यानपकायपेक्षितयुतौ बह्वर्थयानाधिपः

The lords of the 10th (karma) and the 9th (śubha) from the ascendant (lagna); the lords of the 10th (vyāpāra) and the 9th (dharma) from the 9th house (śubha-gṛha); and the lords of the 10th (āspada) and the 9th (bhāgya) from the 10th (māna) — if these are conjoined, or stand in each other’s rāśis, or aspect one another and stand in kendras from one another, and are connected with the lord of wealth ⟨the 2nd lord⟩, the native is born wealthy; and if they are aspected or joined by the lord of the 4th (yānapa, the lord of vehicles) and by the lord of the ascendant (kāyapa, the lord of the body), he is a lord of much wealth and many vehicles.

षट्सु ग्रहेषूच्चगृहस्थितेषु राजाधिराजोऽखिलभूपतिः स्यात् । उच्चं गतैः पञ्चभिरिन्द्रवन्द्ये लग्नस्थिते सर्वजनावनीशः

ṣaṭsu graheṣūccagṛhasthiteṣu rājādhirājo'khilabhūpatiḥ syāt | uccaṃ gataiḥ pañcabhirindravandye lagnasthite sarvajanāvanīśaḥ

When six grahas stand in their exaltation houses, one becomes a rājādhirāja, lord of the whole earth. When five have gone to exaltation and Jupiter, whom Indra reveres, is in the ascendant (lagna) — ⟨he is⟩ ruler of the earth over all people.

कुम्भोदयस्थे रविजे चतुर्भिः स्वोच्चंगतैः सर्वमहीपतिः स्यात् । मेषोदयस्थे यदि चन्द्रपुत्रे स्वोच्चं गते देवगुरौ नृपालः

When Saturn is in a Kumbha (Aquarius) ascendant with four ⟨grahas⟩ gone to their own exaltations, one becomes lord of the whole earth. If Mercury is in a Meṣa (Aries) ascendant and Jupiter, the preceptor of the gods, has gone to its own exaltation — a protector of men.

चन्द्रे वृषोदयगते यदि षड्भिरन्यैर्दृष्टेऽतिबाल्यवयसि क्षितिनायकः स्यात् । तुङ्गस्थितैकखचरे निजमित्रयातैरन्यैः समेति नरपालसमानभोग्यम्

If the Moon is in a Vṛṣa (Taurus) ascendant and aspected by the other six, one becomes ruler of the earth in earliest childhood. When one sky-goer stands in exaltation and the others have gone to their own friends’ ⟨signs⟩, he attains enjoyments equal to a king’s.

वर्गोत्तमे वा यदि पुष्करांशे सारेन्दुदेवेन्द्रगुरौ नृपालः । कर्मस्थिते शोभनदृष्टियुक्ते सम्पूर्णगात्रे शशिनि क्षितीशः

vargottame vā yadi puṣkarāṃśe sārendudevendragurau nṛpālaḥ | karmasthite śobhanadṛṣṭiyukte sampūrṇagātre śaśini kṣitīśaḥ

Or if Mars, the Moon and Jupiter, preceptor of the lord of the gods, are in vargottama or in a puṣkara aṃśa — a protector of men. When the Moon, full in body, stands in the 10th (karma) joined with an auspicious aspect — a lord of the earth.

गुरुसितयुतचन्द्रे चापगे चन्द्रसूनौ यदि तनुगृहयाते भूमिजे कन्यकायाम् । मृगसुखभवनस्थे भानुपुत्रे नृपः स्यादतिशयबलयुक्तः सर्वभूपालपूज्यः

If the Moon, joined with Jupiter and Venus, is in Cāpa (Sagittarius); Mercury has gone to the 1st house (tanu-gṛha); Mars is in Kanyakā (Virgo); and Saturn stands in Mṛga (Capricorn), the house of happiness ⟨the 4th⟩ — he becomes a king endowed with surpassing strength, honoured by all rulers of the earth.

कन्यावसानयुगचापमृगाननस्थैः सौम्येन्दुभौमगुरुभानुसुतैर्नृपालः । मीनोदये शशिनि पूर्णतनौ बलाढ्ये स्वोच्चे कुजे रविसुते घटगे नरेशः

With Mercury, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn standing ⟨respectively⟩ in Kanyā (Virgo), Avasāna (Pisces, ‘the end’), Yuga (Gemini, ‘the pair’), Cāpa (Sagittarius) and Mṛgānana (Capricorn, ‘the deer-faced’) — a protector of men. In a Mīna (Pisces) ascendant, when the Moon is full in body and rich in strength, Mars is in its own exaltation, and Saturn is in Ghaṭa (Aquarius) — a lord of men.

मृगोदयस्थे यदि भूकुमारे कुलीरगे चन्द्रमसि क्षितीशः । धराजपूषामरवन्द्यमाना मृगाजकुम्भोपगता नरेशः

mṛgodayasthe yadi bhūkumāre kulīrage candramasi kṣitīśaḥ | dharājapūṣāmaravandyamānā mṛgājakumbhopagatā nareśaḥ

If Mars stands in a Mṛga (Capricorn) ascendant and the Moon is in Kulīra (Cancer) — a lord of the earth. Mars, Pūṣan (the Sun), and he who is revered by the immortals (Jupiter), gone to Mṛga (Capricorn), Aja (Aries) and Kumbha (Aquarius) — a lord of men.

लग्नाधिपेतरयुते यदि पूर्णचन्द्रे शुक्रज्ञदेवगुरुदृष्टियुते तु राजा । वर्गोत्तमांशसहिता गुरुशुक्रभौमाः पापा न केन्द्रभवनोपगता नरेशः

lagnādhipetarayute yadi pūrṇacandre śukrajñadevagurudṛṣṭiyute tu rājā | vargottamāṃśasahitā guruśukrabhaumāḥ pāpā na kendrabhavanopagatā nareśaḥ

If the full Moon is joined with ⟨a graha⟩ other than the lord of the ascendant (lagna), and is joined with the aspect of Venus, Mercury and Jupiter the preceptor of the gods — a king. When Jupiter, Venus and Mars possess a vargottama aṃśa and no malefics occupy the kendra houses — a lord of men.

शीर्षोदयेषु निखिलद्युचरेषु चन्द्रे सौम्यग्रहेक्षणयुते कटके महीपः । लग्नाधिपे नवमगे दशमस्थिते वा लग्ने सुधाकरयुते पृथिवीपतिः स्यात्

śīrṣodayeṣu nikhiladyucareṣu candre saumyagrahekṣaṇayute kaṭake mahīpaḥ | lagnādhipe navamage daśamasthite vā lagne sudhākarayute pṛthivīpatiḥ syāt

When all the sky-goers are in head-rising (śīrṣodaya) signs and the Moon, joined with the aspect of benefic grahas, is in Kaṭaka (Cancer) — a ruler of the earth. When the lord of the ascendant (lagna) is in the 9th or in the 10th, or the ascendant is joined with the Moon — one becomes a lord of the earth.

चापार्धं गतवान् सहस्रकिरणस्तत्रैव ताराधिपो लग्ने भानुसुतेऽतिवीर्यसहिते स्वोच्चे च भूनन्दनः । यद्येवं भवति क्षितेरधिपतिः सन्त्यज्य शौर्यं भयाद् दूरादेव नमन्ति तस्य रिपवो दग्धाः प्रतापाग्निना

cāpārdhaṃ gatavān sahasrakiraṇastatraiva tārādhipo lagne bhānusute'tivīryasahite svocce ca bhūnandanaḥ | yadyevaṃ bhavati kṣiteradhipatiḥ santyajya śauryaṃ bhayād dūrādeva namanti tasya ripavo dagdhāḥ pratāpāgninā

The thousand-rayed one (the Sun) having reached the half of Cāpa (Sagittarius), and the lord of the stars (the Moon) in that very place; Saturn in the ascendant (lagna) endowed with surpassing vigour, and Mars in its own exaltation — if it is thus, ⟨he becomes⟩ lord of the earth: abandoning their valour out of fear, his enemies bow to him from afar, burnt by the fire of his majesty.

उपचयगृहसंस्थो जन्मपो यस्य चन्द्रात् शुभगृहनवमांशे केन्द्रयाताश्च सौम्याः । सकलबलवियुक्ता ये च पापाभिधानाः स भवति नरनाथः शक्रतुल्यो बलेन

upacayagṛhasaṃstho janmapo yasya candrāt śubhagṛhanavamāṃśe kendrayātāśca saumyāḥ | sakalabalaviyuktā ye ca pāpābhidhānāḥ sa bhavati naranāthaḥ śakratulyo balena

⟨When⟩ the lord of the birth ⟨lagna⟩ stands in an upacaya house from the Moon, and the benefics, placed in an auspicious sign and navāṃśa, have gone to the kendras, and those named malefics are stripped of all strength — he becomes a lord of men, equal to Śakra ⟨Indra⟩ in might.

उच्चाभिलाषी सविता त्रिकोणे स्वर्क्षे शशी जन्मनि यस्य जन्तोः । स शास्ति पृथ्वीं बहुरत्नपूर्णां बृहस्पतिः कर्कटकोपगश्चेत्

uccābhilāṣī savitā trikoṇe svarkṣe śaśī janmani yasya jantoḥ | sa śāsti pṛthvīṃ bahuratnapūrṇāṃ bṛhaspatiḥ karkaṭakopagaścet

⟨When⟩ the Sun, aspiring to his exaltation, ⟨stands⟩ in a trikoṇa and the Moon is in her own sign at the birth of a creature, he rules an earth filled with many jewels — if Jupiter has gone to Karkaṭaka ⟨Cancer⟩.

स्वस्य त्रिकोणे रविरुच्चगोऽपि वा स्वस्वांशकस्था रविशुक्रसोमजाः । तृतीयषष्ठाष्टमगा निशाकरात् कुर्वन्ति गोपालमिव क्षितीश्वरम्

svasya trikoṇe raviruccago'pi vā svasvāṃśakasthā raviśukrasomajāḥ | tṛtīyaṣaṣṭhāṣṭamagā niśākarāt kurvanti gopālamiva kṣitīśvaram

⟨With⟩ the Sun in his own trikoṇa or else exalted, and the Sun, Venus and the Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩ each standing in his own aṃśa, gone to the third, the sixth and the eighth from the Moon — they make ⟨him⟩ a lord of the earth, ⟨guarding it⟩ like a cowherd.

रविशशिबुधशुक्रैर्व्योम्नि मित्रांशकस्थैर्न च रिपुभवनस्थैर्नाप्यदृश्यैर्न नीचैः । स भवति नरपुत्रो भूपतिर्यत् प्रयाणे गजमदजलसेकैः सिच्यते यस्य रेणुः

raviśaśibudhaśukrairvyomni mitrāṃśakasthairna ca ripubhavanasthairnāpyadṛśyairna nīcaiḥ | sa bhavati naraputro bhūpatiryat prayāṇe gajamadajalasekaiḥ sicyate yasya reṇuḥ

⟨When⟩ the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Venus stand in the vyoman ⟨the tenth⟩ in the navāṃśa of a friend — not in an enemy's house, not unseen, not debilitated — that son of man becomes a king, the dust of whose marching is laid by the sprinkled ichor-water of ⟨his⟩ elephants.

क्षमासुतः स्वोच्चमुपाश्रितो बली रवीन्दुवाचस्पतिभिर्निरीक्षितः । भवेन्नरेन्द्रो यदि कुत्सितस्तदा समस्तपृथ्वीपरिरक्षणक्षमः

kṣamāsutaḥ svoccamupāśrito balī ravīnduvācaspatibhirnirīkṣitaḥ | bhavennarendro yadi kutsitastadā samastapṛthvīparirakṣaṇakṣamaḥ

⟨If⟩ the Earth's son ⟨Mars⟩ has taken up his own exaltation, is strong, and is aspected by the Sun, the Moon and Vācaspati ⟨Jupiter⟩, ⟨the native⟩ becomes a king; and if he is of despised ⟨birth⟩, then ⟨he is still⟩ competent to guard the whole earth.

बुधोदये सप्तमगे बृहस्पतौ चन्द्रे कुलीरे सुखराशिगेऽमले । वियद्गते भार्गवनन्दने ग्रहे प्रशास्ति पृथ्वीमगदो निराकुलः

budhodaye saptamage bṛhaspatau candre kulīre sukharāśige'male | viyadgate bhārgavanandane grahe praśāsti pṛthvīmagado nirākulaḥ

⟨When⟩ Mercury rises ⟨in the lagna⟩, Jupiter stands in the seventh, the spotless Moon has gone to Cancer as the house of happiness ⟨the fourth⟩, and the graha Venus has gone to the sky ⟨the tenth⟩, ⟨the native⟩ rules the earth, free of disease and free of trouble.

प्रधानबलसंयुक्तः सम्पूर्णः शशलाञ्छनः । एकोऽपि कुरुते जातं नराधिपमरिन्दमम्

pradhānabalasaṃyuktaḥ sampūrṇaḥ śaśalāñchanaḥ | eko'pi kurute jātaṃ narādhipamarindamam

The hare-marked one ⟨the Moon⟩, joined with pre-eminent strength and full ⟨in her digits⟩, even alone makes the one born a ruler of men, a tamer of foes.

देवमन्त्री कुटुम्बस्थो भार्गवेण समन्वितः । करोति वसुधानाथं निर्जितारातिमण्डलम्

devamantrī kuṭumbastho bhārgaveṇa samanvitaḥ | karoti vasudhānāthaṃ nirjitārātimaṇḍalam

The counsellor of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩, standing in the house of family ⟨the second⟩ and joined with Venus, makes ⟨the native⟩ a lord of the earth (vasudhā-nātha), one who has vanquished the circle of his enemies.

लग्नेशे केन्द्रराशिस्थे कर्मेशे वृद्धराशिगे । भाग्येशे लाभगे जातश्चिरञ्जीवी महीपतिः

lagneśe kendrarāśisthe karmeśe vṛddharāśige | bhāgyeśe lābhage jātaścirañjīvī mahīpatiḥ

⟨When⟩ the lord of the lagna stands in a kendra sign, the lord of karma ⟨the tenth⟩ in a sign of increase, and the lord of fortune ⟨the ninth⟩ in the house of gain ⟨the eleventh⟩, the one born is a long-lived lord of the earth.

रविलुप्तकरः सौम्यः स्वस्थो मूलत्रिकोणगः । सर्वविद्याधिको राजा नेतरेषां स्वचारिणाम्

raviluptakaraḥ saumyaḥ svastho mūlatrikoṇagaḥ | sarvavidyādhiko rājā netareṣāṃ svacāriṇām

Mercury, his rays effaced by the Sun ⟨combust⟩, ⟨yet⟩ in his own place or gone to his mūlatrikoṇa, ⟨makes the native⟩ a king surpassing ⟨all⟩ in every branch of learning — not so for the others that move in their own ⟨signs⟩.

अर्कज्ञौ सुखराशिस्थौ मन्देन्दू दशमस्थितौ । कुजोदये च सञ्जातो यदि राजा न संशयः

arkajñau sukharāśisthau mandendū daśamasthitau | kujodaye ca sañjāto yadi rājā na saṃśayaḥ

The Sun and Mercury standing in the house of happiness ⟨the fourth⟩, Saturn and the Moon standing in the tenth, and Mars rising ⟨in the lagna⟩ — the one so born is a king, there is no doubt.

दिवाकरोदये सिंहे शुक्रांशकविवर्जिते । कन्यागते बुधे जातो नीचोऽपि पृथिवीपतिः

divākarodaye siṃhe śukrāṃśakavivarjite | kanyāgate budhe jāto nīco'pi pṛthivīpatiḥ

⟨When⟩ the day-maker ⟨the Sun⟩ rises in Siṃha ⟨Leo⟩ free of Venus's navāṃśa, and Mercury has gone to Kanyā ⟨Virgo⟩, the one born, though low ⟨-born⟩, is lord of the earth.

मानपुत्रोदयस्थौ वा मन्दावनिसुतौ यदि । पूर्णेन्दौ गुरुराशिस्थे जातो राजा भविष्यति

mānaputrodayasthau vā mandāvanisutau yadi | pūrṇendau gururāśisthe jāto rājā bhaviṣyati

Or if Saturn and the Earth's son ⟨Mars⟩ stand in the 10th (māna), the 5th (putra) or the lagna (udaya) and the full Moon is in a sign of Jupiter, the one born will be a king.

बली विलग्नाधिपतिश्च केन्द्रे भूपालयोगं कुरुते नराणाम् । तन्मित्रदृष्टे यदि नीचवंशे जातोऽपि राजा नृपवन्दितो वा

balī vilagnādhipatiśca kendre bhūpālayogaṃ kurute narāṇām | tanmitradṛṣṭe yadi nīcavaṃśe jāto'pi rājā nṛpavandito vā

A strong lord of the ascendant in a kendra produces for men the yoga of a ruler of the earth; and if he is aspected by his friend, then even one born in a low family is a king, or ⟨else⟩ one saluted by kings.

जन्माधिपः स्वोच्चगृहे मृगाङ्कं पश्यत्यवश्यं यदि भूमिपालः । गजादिसेनातुरगादिसङ्घैर्जितारिकोटिर्जगति प्रजातः

janmādhipaḥ svoccagṛhe mṛgāṅkaṃ paśyatyavaśyaṃ yadi bhūmipālaḥ | gajādisenāturagādisaṅghairjitārikoṭirjagati prajātaḥ

If the lord of the birth ⟨lagna⟩, in his own or exaltation house, aspects the deer-marked one ⟨the Moon⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ assuredly a ruler of the earth — born into the world a conqueror of a crore of foes by his hosts of elephants and troops of horses.

लग्नं विहाय केन्द्रस्थे चन्द्रे पूर्णकलान्विते । गुरुभार्गवसन्दृष्टे जातो राजा भवेन्नरः

lagnaṃ vihāya kendrasthe candre pūrṇakalānvite | gurubhārgavasandṛṣṭe jāto rājā bhavennaraḥ

⟨When⟩ the Moon, endowed with her full digits, stands in a kendra other than the lagna and is aspected by Jupiter and Venus, the man born becomes a king.

लग्नेशे केन्द्रभावस्थे नीचमूढारिभं विना । नान्यग्रहयुते राजा सार्वभौमो भविष्यति

lagneśe kendrabhāvasthe nīcamūḍhāribhaṃ vinā | nānyagrahayute rājā sārvabhaumo bhaviṣyati

⟨When⟩ the lord of the lagna occupies a kendra house — apart from a debilitation, a combust, or an enemy's sign — and is joined with no other graha, ⟨the native⟩ will be a king, a sovereign of the whole earth.

गुरुचन्द्रदिवानाथाः सुतविक्रमधर्मगाः । जातो यदि महीपालः कुबेरसमवित्तवान्

gurucandradivānāthāḥ sutavikramadharmagāḥ | jāto yadi mahīpālaḥ kuberasamavittavān

⟨If⟩ Jupiter, the Moon and the lord of day ⟨the Sun⟩ have gone ⟨respectively⟩ to the houses of the son ⟨the fifth⟩, of valour ⟨the third⟩ and of dharma ⟨the ninth⟩, the one born is a ruler of the earth, possessed of wealth equal to Kubera's.

चापोदयस्थे बलिनि प्रभाकरे महीसुते कर्मगते सशीतगौ । उपान्त्यगे वा भृगुजे व्ययस्थिते सुरेन्द्रतुल्यो नृपतिः प्रजायते

cāpodayasthe balini prabhākare mahīsute karmagate saśītagau | upāntyage vā bhṛguje vyayasthite surendratulyo nṛpatiḥ prajāyate

⟨When⟩ the strong Sun stands in Cāpa ⟨Sagittarius⟩ rising, Mars has gone to the house of karma ⟨the tenth⟩ together with the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩, and Venus is in the next-to-last house ⟨the eleventh⟩ or placed in the twelfth, a king equal to Surendra ⟨Indra⟩ is born.

विक्रमायारिगाः पापा जन्मपः शुभवीक्षितः । राजा भवति तेजस्वी समस्तजनवन्दितः

vikramāyārigāḥ pāpā janmapaḥ śubhavīkṣitaḥ | rājā bhavati tejasvī samastajanavanditaḥ

⟨When⟩ the malefics have gone to the houses of valour ⟨the third⟩, of gain ⟨the eleventh⟩ and of enemies ⟨the sixth⟩, and the lord of the birth ⟨lagna⟩ is aspected by benefics, ⟨the native⟩ becomes a king, lustrous, saluted by all people.

मृगोदयस्थे बलिनि क्षमासुते शनौतपःस्थानगतेऽथवाऽन्त्यगे । दिवाकरे सप्तमगे सशीतगौ महीपतिश्चञ्चलमानसो भवेत्

mṛgodayasthe balini kṣamāsute śanautapaḥsthānagate'thavā'ntyage | divākare saptamage saśītagau mahīpatiścañcalamānaso bhavet

⟨When⟩ the Earth's son ⟨Mars⟩, strong, stands in Mṛga ⟨Capricorn⟩ rising, Saturn has gone to the place of tapas ⟨the ninth⟩ or else to the last ⟨house, the twelfth⟩, and the day-maker ⟨the Sun⟩ is in the seventh together with the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩, he becomes a lord of the earth — ⟨but⟩ of a fickle mind.

लाभे सुखे वा दशमे समन्दश्चन्द्रमा यदि । जातो नृपकुले राजा तत्समो वा धनीभवेत्

lābhe sukhe vā daśame samandaścandramā yadi | jāto nṛpakule rājā tatsamo vā dhanībhavet

If the Moon together with Saturn ⟨stands⟩ in the house of gain ⟨the eleventh⟩, in that of happiness ⟨the fourth⟩, or in the tenth, one born in a royal family is a king; or ⟨else, one born otherwise⟩ becomes wealthy, his equal.

जातश्चोपचयस्थिते तनुपतौ चन्द्रे तपःस्थानगे केन्द्रस्थाः शुभवर्गगा यदि शुभा वीर्यान्विता भूपतिः । जीवेन्दू वृषभस्थितौ बलयुतः कोणस्थितो लग्नपः शन्यारेक्षणवर्जितो यदि तदा जातोऽवनीशो भवेत्

jātaścopacayasthite tanupatau candre tapaḥsthānage kendrasthāḥ śubhavargagā yadi śubhā vīryānvitā bhūpatiḥ | jīvendū vṛṣabhasthitau balayutaḥ koṇasthito lagnapaḥ śanyārekṣaṇavarjito yadi tadā jāto'vanīśo bhavet

⟨When⟩ the lord of the body ⟨the lagna lord⟩ stands in an upacaya and the Moon has gone to the place of tapas ⟨the ninth⟩, and if the benefics stand in the kendras, gone to benefic vargas and endowed with strength, the one born is a lord of the earth. ⟨And when⟩ Jupiter and the Moon stand in Vṛṣabha ⟨Taurus⟩, and the lord of the lagna, joined with strength, stands in a trine free of the aspect of Saturn and Mars, then the one born becomes a lord of the earth.

दिवाकरे मीनगृहोपयाते कुलीरलग्ने शशिनि क्षितीशः । अरातिनीचग्रहदृष्टियुक्ता भूपालयोगं न दिशन्ति सर्वे

divākare mīnagṛhopayāte kulīralagne śaśini kṣitīśaḥ | arātinīcagrahadṛṣṭiyuktā bhūpālayogaṃ na diśanti sarve

⟨When⟩ the day-maker ⟨the Sun⟩ has gone to the house of Mīna ⟨Pisces⟩ and the Moon ⟨stands⟩ in Kulīra ⟨Cancer⟩ as the lagna, ⟨the native is⟩ a lord of the earth. ⟨But⟩ all ⟨these combinations⟩, when joined with the aspect of enemy and debilitated grahas, do not confer the yoga of a ruler of the earth.

जनयति नृपमेकोऽप्युच्चगो मित्रदृष्टः प्रचुरगुणसमेतं मित्रयोगाच्च सिद्धम् । विवसुविसुखमूढव्याधितो बन्धुतप्तो वधदुरितसमेतः शत्रुनिम्नर्क्षगेषु

janayati nṛpameko'pyuccago mitradṛṣṭaḥ pracuraguṇasametaṃ mitrayogācca siddham | vivasuvisukhamūḍhavyādhito bandhutapto vadhaduritasametaḥ śatrunimnarkṣageṣu

Even one ⟨graha⟩, exalted and aspected by a friend, begets a king endowed with abundant virtues, and ⟨the yoga is⟩ made good by conjunction with a friend. ⟨But⟩ when ⟨they⟩ stand in enemy and debilitation signs, ⟨the native is⟩ without wealth, without happiness, dull-witted, diseased, tormented by his kinsmen, and beset with slaughter and calamity.

धनुर्मीनतुलामेषमृगकुम्भोदये शनौ । चार्वङ्गो नृपतिर्विद्वान् पुरग्रामाग्रणीर्भवेत्

dhanurmīnatulāmeṣamṛgakumbhodaye śanau | cārvaṅgo nṛpatirvidvān puragrāmāgraṇīrbhavet

⟨When⟩ Saturn rises in Dhanus, Mīna, Tulā, Meṣa, Mṛga ⟨Capricorn⟩ or Kumbha, ⟨the native⟩ becomes fair of limb, a king and learned, the foremost of ⟨his⟩ town and village.

स्वोच्चत्रिकोणस्वसुहृच्छत्रुनीचगृहार्कगैः । शुभं सम्पूर्णपादोनदलपादाल्पनिष्फलम्

svoccatrikoṇasvasuhṛcchatrunīcagṛhārkagaiḥ | śubhaṃ sampūrṇapādonadalapādālpaniṣphalam

By ⟨grahas⟩ standing in their exaltation, their trikoṇa, their own house, a friend's, an enemy's, the debilitation house, or ⟨combust⟩ with the Sun, the auspicious ⟨result is⟩ full, less-a-quarter, a half, a quarter, little, and fruitless.

मूलत्रिकोणनिजतुङ्गगृहोपयाता भौमज्ञजीवसितभानुसुता बलिष्ठाः । केन्द्रस्थिता यदि यदा रुचभद्रहंसमालव्यचारुशशयोगकरा भवन्ति

mūlatrikoṇanijatuṅgagṛhopayātā bhaumajñajīvasitabhānusutā baliṣṭhāḥ | kendrasthitā yadi yadā rucabhadrahaṃsamālavyacāruśaśayogakarā bhavanti

When Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩, at their strongest, have gone to their mūlatrikoṇa, their own house or their exaltation house, and stand in the kendras, they become the makers of the Rucaka, Bhadra, Haṃsa, Mālavya and fair Śaśa yogas.

जातः श्रीरुचके बलान्वितवपुः श्रीकीर्तिशीलान्वितः शस्त्री मन्त्रजपाभिचारकुशलो राजाऽथवा तत्समः । लावण्यारुणकान्तिकोमलतनुस्त्यागी जितारिर्धनी सप्तत्यब्दमितायुषा सह सुखी सेनातुरङ्गाधिपः

jātaḥ śrīrucake balānvitavapuḥ śrīkīrtiśīlānvitaḥ śastrī mantrajapābhicārakuśalo rājā'thavā tatsamaḥ | lāvaṇyāruṇakāntikomalatanustyāgī jitārirdhanī saptatyabdamitāyuṣā saha sukhī senāturaṅgādhipaḥ

One born in the glorious Rucaka ⟨yoga⟩ has a body joined with strength, is endowed with fortune, fame and good conduct, bears weapons, is skilled in mantra, japa and abhicāra ⟨hostile rites⟩, and is a king or his equal. His body is lovely, of ruddy lustre and tender; he is a giver, a conqueror of his enemies, wealthy, and happy, with a life measured at seventy years, a lord of armies and horses.

धर्मेशलाभेशधनेश्वराणामेकोऽपि शीतद्युतिकेन्द्रवर्ती । स्वयं च लाभाधिपतिर्गुरुश्चेदखण्डसाम्राज्यपतित्वमेति

dharmeśalābheśadhaneśvarāṇāmeko'pi śītadyutikendravartī | svayaṃ ca lābhādhipatirguruścedakhaṇḍasāmrājyapatitvameti

⟨If⟩ even one among the lords of dharma ⟨the ninth⟩, of gain ⟨the eleventh⟩ and of wealth ⟨the second⟩ stands in a kendra from the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩, and if Jupiter himself is the lord of gain ⟨the eleventh⟩, ⟨the native⟩ attains lordship of an undivided empire.

शार्दूलप्रतिमाननो गजगतिः पीनोरुवक्षस्थलो लम्बापीनसुवृत्तबाहुयुगलस्तत्तुल्यमानोच्छ्रयः । मानी बन्धुजनोपकारनिपुणः श्रीभद्रयोगोद्भवो राजाऽशीतिमितायुरेति विपुलप्रज्ञायशोवित्तवान्

śārdūlapratimānano gajagatiḥ pīnoruvakṣasthalo lambāpīnasuvṛttabāhuyugalastattulyamānocchrayaḥ | mānī bandhujanopakāranipuṇaḥ śrībhadrayogodbhavo rājā'śītimitāyureti vipulaprajñāyaśovittavān

⟨He⟩ whose face is like a tiger's, whose gait is an elephant's, whose thighs and chest are stout, whose pair of arms is long, fleshy and well-rounded, and whose height matches them; proud, and skilful in doing good to his kinsfolk — one born of the illustrious Bhadra yoga is a king, reaches a life measured at eighty ⟨years⟩, and is possessed of abundant wisdom, fame and wealth.

रक्तास्योन्नतनासिकः सुचरणो हंसस्वरः श्लेष्मको गौराङ्गः सुकुमारदारसहितः कन्दर्पतुल्यः सुखी । शास्त्रज्ञानपरायणोऽतिनिपुणः श्रीहंसयोगे गुणी जातोऽशीतिकमायुरेति सयुगं ८४ साधुक्रियाचारवान्

raktāsyonnatanāsikaḥ sucaraṇo haṃsasvaraḥ śleṣmako gaurāṅgaḥ sukumāradārasahitaḥ kandarpatulyaḥ sukhī | śāstrajñānaparāyaṇo'tinipuṇaḥ śrīhaṃsayoge guṇī jāto'śītikamāyureti sayugaṃ 84 sādhukriyācāravān

Red-faced, with a raised nose and fine feet, swan-voiced, of phlegmatic constitution, fair-limbed, having a delicate wife, the equal of Kandarpa ⟨Kāma⟩, happy; devoted to the knowledge of the śāstras and exceedingly skilful — a man of quality born under the illustrious Haṃsa yoga reaches an age of eighty together with a yuga ⟨four⟩ — 84 — and is of pious acts and good conduct.

स्त्रीचेष्टो ललिताङ्गसन्धिनयनः सौन्दर्यशाली गुणी तेजस्वी सुतदारवाहनधनी शास्त्रार्थवित्पण्डितः । उत्साहप्रभुशक्तिमन्त्रचतुरस्त्यागी परस्त्रीरतः सप्तत्यब्दमुपैति सप्तसहितं मालव्ययोगोद्भवः

strīceṣṭo lalitāṅgasandhinayanaḥ saundaryaśālī guṇī tejasvī sutadāravāhanadhanī śāstrārthavitpaṇḍitaḥ | utsāhaprabhuśaktimantracaturastyāgī parastrīrataḥ saptatyabdamupaiti saptasahitaṃ mālavyayogodbhavaḥ

With womanly gestures, with graceful limbs, joints and eyes; endowed with beauty, virtuous, lustrous; rich in sons, wife, conveyances and money; a learned man who knows the meaning of the śāstras; adroit in energy, in lordly power and in counsel; liberal; addicted to other men's wives — one born of the Mālavya yoga attains seventy years together with seven ⟨77⟩.

भूपो वा सचिवो वनाचलरतः सेनापतिः क्रूरधीर्धातोर्वादविनोदवञ्चनपरो दाता सरोषेक्षणः । तेजस्वी निजमातृभक्तिनिरतः शूरोऽसिताङ्गः सुखी जातः सप्ततिरायुरेति शशके जारक्रियाशीलवान्

bhūpo vā sacivo vanācalarataḥ senāpatiḥ krūradhīrdhātorvādavinodavañcanaparo dātā saroṣekṣaṇaḥ | tejasvī nijamātṛbhaktinirataḥ śūro'sitāṅgaḥ sukhī jātaḥ saptatirāyureti śaśake jārakriyāśīlavān

A king or a minister, delighting in forest and hill, a commander of armies, cruel of mind, given to the pastime of alchemy (dhātuvāda) and to cheating, a giver, with an angry glance; lustrous, devoted to his own mother, brave, dark-limbed, happy — one born under Śaśa attains seventy years of life and is given to adulterous acts.

यस्य योगस्य यः कर्ता बलवान् जितदृग्युतः । अधियोगादियोगेषु स्वदशायां फलप्रदः

yasya yogasya yaḥ kartā balavān jitadṛgyutaḥ | adhiyogādiyogeṣu svadaśāyāṃ phalapradaḥ

Whichever graha is the maker of a given yoga — if he is strong and is joined with, and aspected by, ⟨grahas that⟩ prevail, then among the Adhi-yoga and the rest he gives the fruit ⟨of that yoga⟩ in his own daśā.

भानोरर्थगते बुधे शशिसुताल्लाभस्थितश्चन्द्रमाश्चन्द्रात्कोणगतैः पुरन्दरगुरुर्योगस्तदा भास्करः । शूरो भास्करयोगजः प्रभुसमः शास्त्रार्थविद्रूपवान् गान्धर्वश्रुतिवित्तवान् गणितविद्धीरः समर्थो भवेत्

Mercury in the 2nd (artha) from the Sun; the Moon standing in the 11th (lābha) from Mercury; Jupiter, the preceptor of Purandara ⟨Indra⟩, gone to a trikoṇa from the Moon — then the yoga is Bhāskara. One born of the Bhāskara yoga is brave, the equal of a lord, knows the meaning of the śāstras, is handsome, versed in music and in the Veda, wealthy, skilled in mathematics, steadfast and capable.

चन्द्राद्विक्रमगः कुजोऽवनिसुतादस्ते शनिः सूर्यजादस्ते दैत्यगुरुः सितान्मदनगो जीवो यदीन्द्राह्वयः । ख्यातस्तत्रभवः सशीलगुणवान् भूपोऽथवा तत्समो वाग्मी वित्तविचित्रभूषणयशोरूपप्रतापान्वितः

Mars in the 3rd (vikrama) from the Moon; Saturn in the 7th from Mars, the son of Earth; Venus, the preceptor of the Daityas, in the 7th from Saturn, the son of the Sun; Jupiter in the 7th (madana) from Venus — if so, it is called Indra ⟨yoga⟩. One born then is renowned, of good character and virtue, a king or his equal, eloquent, and endowed with wealth, wondrous ornaments, fame, beauty and majesty.

शुक्रात् कोणगतो गुरुः सुरगुरोः पुत्रे शशी शीतगोः केन्द्रस्थानसमाश्रितो दिनकरो योगो मरुत्संज्ञकः । वाग्मी वायुभवो विशालहृदयः स्थूलोदरः शास्त्रवित् सम्पन्नः क्रयविक्रयेषु कुशलो राजाऽथवा तत्समः

Jupiter gone to a trikoṇa from Venus; the Moon in the 5th (putra) from Jupiter, the preceptor of the gods; the Sun occupying a kendra from the Moon — the yoga is named Marut. One born of the Vāyu ⟨Marut⟩ yoga is eloquent, broad-chested, big-bellied, learned in the śāstras, prosperous, skilled in buying and selling, a king or his equal.

लग्नेज्ञो गुरुकेन्द्रगो हिमकरश्चन्द्रादहिर्वित्तगः सौर्यस्थानगतौ च भानुरुधिरौ योगो बुधः कीर्तितः । राजश्रीबुधयोगजोऽतुलबलप्रख्यातनामा विदुः शास्त्रज्ञानकरक्रियासु चतुरो धीमानशत्रुर्भवेत्

Mercury in the lagna; the Moon in a kendra from Jupiter; the serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩ in the 2nd (vitta) from the Moon; and the Sun and Mars gone to a house of Saturn — the yoga is proclaimed Budha. One born of the royal and splendid Budha yoga has incomparable strength and a renowned name, is learned, adroit in the knowledge of the śāstras and in the work of his hands, and becomes wise and without an enemy.

लग्नस्थिते हिमकरे यदि वा मदस्थे केमद्रुमो भवति जीवदृशा विहीने । अत्यल्पबिन्दुसहिता यदि खेचरेन्द्राः केमद्रुयोगफलदा विबलाश्च सर्वे

lagnasthite himakare yadi vā madasthe kemadrumo bhavati jīvadṛśā vihīne | atyalpabindusahitā yadi khecarendrāḥ kemadruyogaphaladā vibalāśca sarve

When the Moon stands in the lagna, or in the 7th (mada), and is devoid of Jupiter's aspect, Kemadruma arises. And if the chief grahas carry very few bindus ⟨of the aṣṭakavarga⟩ and are all weak, they too give the fruit of the Kemadruma yoga.

द्वितीये द्वादशे पार्श्वे द्वये खेचरसंयुते । शीतांशोः सुनफायोगस्त्वनफा नाम कीर्तितः

dvitīye dvādaśe pārśve dvaye khecarasaṃyute | śītāṃśoḥ sunaphāyogastvanaphā nāma kīrtitaḥ

When the second and the twelfth — the two flanks ⟨of the Moon⟩ — are joined with a graha, the yogas of the cold-rayed one are declared: Sunaphā ⟨for the second⟩ and, by name, Anaphā ⟨for the twelfth⟩.

योगो धुरन्धुराख्यः स्याद्विना सर्वत्र भास्करम् । एतद्योगत्रयाभावे केमद्रुमफलं वदेत्

yogo dhurandhurākhyaḥ syādvinā sarvatra bhāskaram | etadyogatrayābhāve kemadrumaphalaṃ vadet

The yoga named Durandhara ⟨Durudhurā⟩ arises ⟨when both flanks are occupied⟩; everywhere the Sun is excluded. In the absence of these three yogas, one should declare the fruit of Kemadruma.

चन्द्रे सभानौ यदि नीचदृष्टे पापांशके याति दरिद्रयोगम् । क्षीणेन्दुलग्नान्निधने निशायां पापेक्षिते पापयुते तथा स्यात्

candre sabhānau yadi nīcadṛṣṭe pāpāṃśake yāti daridrayogam | kṣīṇendulagnānnidhane niśāyāṃ pāpekṣite pāpayute tathā syāt

If the Moon is with the Sun, aspected by a debilitated ⟨graha⟩ and in a malefic navāṃśa, ⟨the native⟩ goes to the daridra (poverty) yoga. So too if the waning Moon is in the 8th (nidhana) from the lagna, ⟨the birth⟩ at night, aspected by malefics and joined with malefics.

विधुन्तुदादिग्रहपीडितेन्दौ पापेक्षिते चाशु दरिद्रमेति । लग्नाच्चतुष्केन्द्रगृहे सपापे निशाकराद्वाऽशु दरिद्रमेति

vidhuntudādigrahapīḍitendau pāpekṣite cāśu daridrameti | lagnāccatuṣkendragṛhe sapāpe niśākarādvā'śu daridrameti

When the Moon is afflicted by Rāhu, the tormentor of the Moon, and by other grahas, and is aspected by malefics, he swiftly comes to poverty. And when the four kendra houses reckoned from the lagna — or from the Moon — hold malefics, he swiftly comes to poverty.

चन्द्रे पराजितशुभग्रहदृष्टियुक्ते राह्वादिपीडिततनौ तु दरिद्र एव । नीचारिवीक्षणयुते रिपुराशिवर्गे चन्द्रे तुलाधरगते तु तथा वदन्ति

candre parājitaśubhagrahadṛṣṭiyukte rāhvādipīḍitatanau tu daridra eva | nīcārivīkṣaṇayute ripurāśivarge candre tulādharagate tu tathā vadanti

When the Moon is joined with the aspect of benefic grahas that have been defeated ⟨in planetary war⟩, and the body ⟨the 1st house⟩ is afflicted by Rāhu and the rest — he is poor indeed. And when the Moon is joined with the aspect of debilitated and inimical ⟨grahas⟩, is in an enemy's sign-varga, and has gone to Tulā ⟨Libra⟩ — that too, they say, ⟨brings the same⟩.

केन्द्रे वा यदि कोणगे हिमकरे नीचारिवर्गस्थिते चन्द्रादन्त्यसपत्नरन्ध्रगृहगे जीवे दरिद्रो भवेत् । पापांशे रिपुवीक्षिते चरगृहे चन्द्रे चरांशेऽथवा जातो याति दरिद्रयोगमतुलं देवेज्यदृग्वर्जिते

kendre vā yadi koṇage himakare nīcārivargasthite candrādantyasapatnarandhragṛhage jīve daridro bhavet | pāpāṃśe ripuvīkṣite caragṛhe candre carāṃśe'thavā jāto yāti daridrayogamatulaṃ devejyadṛgvarjite

If the Moon is in a kendra or in a trikoṇa but stands in the varga of a debilitation or of an enemy, and Jupiter is in the 12th (antya), the 6th (sapatna) or the 8th (randhra) house from the Moon, he becomes poor. And if the Moon is in a malefic navāṃśa, aspected by enemies, in a movable sign or in a movable navāṃśa, and bereft of Jupiter's aspect, the native goes to an incomparable poverty-yoga.

अन्योन्यदृष्टौ शनिदानवेज्यौ नीचारिपापग्रहवर्गयातौ । एकर्क्षगौ वा यदि राजवंशे जातोऽपि केमद्रुमयोगमेति

anyonyadṛṣṭau śanidānavejyau nīcāripāpagrahavargayātau | ekarkṣagau vā yadi rājavaṃśe jāto'pi kemadrumayogameti

If Saturn and Venus, the preceptor of the Dānavas, aspect each other while gone to the vargas of debilitation, of an enemy or of a malefic graha, or stand in one and the same sign, then even one born in a royal line comes to the Kemadruma yoga.

चन्द्रे पापयुते तु पापभवने पापांशके वा निशि व्योमेशेन निरीक्षिते गतबले केमद्रुयोगो भवेत् । भाग्यस्थानपवीक्षिते खलयुते नीचांशकेऽब्जे तथा चन्द्रे नीचयुते निशि क्षयतनौ जातस्य केमद्रुमः

candre pāpayute tu pāpabhavane pāpāṃśake vā niśi vyomeśena nirīkṣite gatabale kemadruyogo bhavet | bhāgyasthānapavīkṣite khalayute nīcāṃśake'bje tathā candre nīcayute niśi kṣayatanau jātasya kemadrumaḥ

When the Moon is joined with a malefic, ⟨placed⟩ in a malefic's house or in a malefic navāṃśa, at night, aspected by the lord of the 10th (vyoman), and bereft of strength — the Kemadruma yoga arises. So too when the Moon is aspected by the lord of the 9th (bhāgya), joined with a wicked ⟨graha⟩ and in a debilitation navāṃśa; and when the Moon is joined with a debilitated ⟨graha⟩, at night, its body waned — the native has Kemadruma.

निशाकरे केन्द्रगते भृगौ वा जीवेक्षिते नैव दरिद्रयोगः । शुभान्विते वाऽशुभमध्यगेन्दौ जीवेक्षिते नैव दरिद्रयोगः

niśākare kendragate bhṛgau vā jīvekṣite naiva daridrayogaḥ | śubhānvite vā'śubhamadhyagendau jīvekṣite naiva daridrayogaḥ

When the Moon occupies a kendra and is aspected by Venus or by Jupiter, there is no poverty-yoga at all. Or when the Moon, though placed between malefics, is joined with benefics and aspected by Jupiter, there is no poverty-yoga at all.

चन्द्रेऽतिमित्रनिजतुङ्गांशकस्थे जीवेक्षिते यदि दरिद्रतया विहीनः । चन्द्रेऽतिमित्रनिजतुङ्गगृहांशकस्थे जीवेक्षिते यदि दरिद्रतया विहीनः

candre'timitranijatuṅgāṃśakasthe jīvekṣite yadi daridratayā vihīnaḥ | candre'timitranijatuṅgagṛhāṃśakasthe jīvekṣite yadi daridratayā vihīnaḥ

If the Moon stands in the navāṃśa of a great friend, of its own ⟨sign⟩ or of its exaltation, and is aspected by Jupiter, he is free from poverty. ⟨The line is printed a second time:⟩ if the Moon stands in the house or navāṃśa of a great friend, of its own ⟨sign⟩ or of its exaltation, and is aspected by Jupiter, he is free from poverty.

योगे केमद्रुमे प्राप्ते यस्मिन् कस्मिंश्च जातके । राजयोगा विनश्यन्ति हरिं दृष्ट्वा यथा द्विपाः

yoge kemadrume prāpte yasmin kasmiṃśca jātake | rājayogā vinaśyanti hariṃ dṛṣṭvā yathā dvipāḥ

When the Kemadruma yoga is met with in any horoscope whatsoever, the rāja-yogas perish, as elephants ⟨scatter⟩ on seeing a lion.

हित्वाऽर्कं सुनफाऽनफादुरुधुरा स्वान्त्योभयस्थैर्ग्रहैः शीतांशोः कथितोऽन्यथा तु बलिभिः केमद्रुमोऽन्यैस्त्वसौ । केन्द्रे शीतकरेऽथवा ग्रहयुते केमद्रुमो नेष्यते केचित् केन्द्रनवांशकेषु च वदन्त्युक्तिप्रसिद्धा न ते

hitvā'rkaṃ sunaphā'naphādurudhurā svāntyobhayasthairgrahaiḥ śītāṃśoḥ kathito'nyathā tu balibhiḥ kemadrumo'nyaistvasau | kendre śītakare'thavā grahayute kemadrumo neṣyate kecit kendranavāṃśakeṣu ca vadantyuktiprasiddhā na te

Excluding the Sun, Sunaphā, Anaphā and Durudhurā are declared from grahas standing in the second (sva), in the twelfth (antya), or in both, reckoned from the cold-rayed one; otherwise ⟨these yogas hold⟩ from strong ⟨grahas⟩, while from the others this Kemadruma ⟨arises⟩. Some do not admit Kemadruma when the Moon is in a kendra or is joined with a graha; and some speak of ⟨grahas⟩ in the kendra navāṃśas — those ⟨opinions⟩ are not established in the received teaching.

स्वयमधिगतवित्तः पार्थिवस्तत्समो वा भवति हि सुनफायां धीधनख्यातिमांश्च । प्रभुरगदशरीरः शीलवान् ख्यातकीर्तिविषयसुखसुवेषो निर्वृतश्चानफायाम्

svayamadhigatavittaḥ pārthivastatsamo vā bhavati hi sunaphāyāṃ dhīdhanakhyātimāṃśca | prabhuragadaśarīraḥ śīlavān khyātakīrtiviṣayasukhasuveṣo nirvṛtaścānaphāyām

In Sunaphā he becomes one who has won wealth by himself, a king or his equal, and possessed of intelligence, wealth and renown. In Anaphā he becomes a lord, of a body free of disease, of good character, of celebrated fame, enjoying the objects of sense, well-dressed and content.

उत्पन्नभोगसुख भाग्धनवाहनाढ्यस्त्यागान्वितो दुरुधुराप्रभवः सुभृत्यः । केमद्रुमे मलिनदुःखितनीचनिःस्वाः प्रेष्याः खलाश्च नृपतेरपि वंशजाताः

utpannabhogasukha bhāgdhanavāhanāḍhyastyāgānvito durudhurāprabhavaḥ subhṛtyaḥ | kemadrume malinaduḥkhitanīcaniḥsvāḥ preṣyāḥ khalāśca nṛpaterapi vaṃśajātāḥ

Sharing in the enjoyment and comfort that come to him (utpanna), rich in wealth and conveyances, endowed with liberality — such is one born of Durudhurā, and he is well served by his dependants. In Kemadruma, even those born in a king's own line become filthy, wretched, low, destitute, menials and wicked.

जातश्च भूपतिश्चण्डो हिंस्रो डिम्भः सुधीरधीः । धनविक्रमवान् कोपी चन्द्राद्धनगते कुजे

jātaśca bhūpatiścaṇḍo hiṃsro ḍimbhaḥ sudhīradhīḥ | dhanavikramavān kopī candrāddhanagate kuje

When Mars is in the 2nd (dhana) from the Moon, the native is a king, fierce, violent, rash (ḍimbha), of a very steady mind, possessed of wealth and valour, and irascible.

वेदशास्त्रकलागेयकुशलः सुशरीरवान् । मनस्वी हितवाग् धर्मी चन्द्राद्वित्तगते बुधे

vedaśāstrakalāgeyakuśalaḥ suśarīravān | manasvī hitavāg dharmī candrādvittagate budhe

When Mercury is in the 2nd (vitta) from the Moon: skilled in the Veda, the śāstras, the arts and song; of a fine body; high-minded; of beneficial speech; and righteous.

सर्वविद्याधिकः श्रीमान् कुटुम्बी नृपवल्लभः । राजतुल्ययशस्वी च चन्द्राद्वित्तगते गुरौ

sarvavidyādhikaḥ śrīmān kuṭumbī nṛpavallabhaḥ | rājatulyayaśasvī ca candrādvittagate gurau

When Jupiter is in the 2nd from the Moon: pre-eminent in every branch of learning, prosperous, a man with a household, dear to the king, and famous like a king.

विक्रमस्त्रीधनक्षेत्रकर्मवान् बहुवित्तवान् । चतुष्पदाढ्या राजश्रीः सिते चन्द्रात् कुटुम्बगे

vikramastrīdhanakṣetrakarmavān bahuvittavān | catuṣpadāḍhyā rājaśrīḥ site candrāt kuṭumbage

When Venus is in the 2nd (kuṭumba) from the Moon: possessed of valour, women, wealth, land and works; of much money; rich in four-footed beasts; and endowed with royal fortune.

पुरग्रामस्थिताशेषैः पूजितो धनवान् सुधीः । निपुणः सर्वकार्येषु चन्द्राद्वित्तगते शनौ

puragrāmasthitāśeṣaiḥ pūjito dhanavān sudhīḥ | nipuṇaḥ sarvakāryeṣu candrādvittagate śanau

When Saturn is in the 2nd (vitta) from the Moon: honoured by all who dwell in town and village, wealthy, of good understanding, and adroit in every undertaking.

मानी रणोत्सुकः क्रोधी धृष्टश्चोरजनप्रभुः । धीरः स्वतनुलोभी स्याच्चन्द्रादन्त्यगते कुजे

mānī raṇotsukaḥ krodhī dhṛṣṭaścorajanaprabhuḥ | dhīraḥ svatanulobhī syāccandrādantyagate kuje

When Mars is in the 12th (antya) from the Moon: proud, eager for battle, wrathful, insolent, a chief of thieves, steadfast, and greedy over his own body.

गान्धर्वलेख्यपटुवाक् कविर्वक्ता सुदेहवान् । यशस्वी राजपूज्यः स्यात् चन्द्राद्व्ययगते बुधे

gāndharvalekhyapaṭuvāk kavirvaktā sudehavān | yaśasvī rājapūjyaḥ syāt candrādvyayagate budhe

Skilled in music and writing, of ready speech, a poet, an orator, of fine body, famous, and honoured by the king — ⟨such is he⟩ when Mercury has gone to the twelfth (vyaya) from the Moon.

राजपूज्योऽतिमेधावी गाम्भीर्यगुणसत्त्ववान् । शुचिः स्थानधनाढ्यः स्यात् चन्द्राद् द्वादशगे गुरौ

rājapūjyo'timedhāvī gāmbhīryaguṇasattvavān | śuciḥ sthānadhanāḍhyaḥ syāt candrād dvādaśage gurau

Honoured by the king, exceedingly intelligent, endowed with gravity, ⟨good⟩ qualities and strength of character, pure, and rich in position and wealth — ⟨so is he⟩ when Jupiter is in the twelfth from the Moon.

युवतीजनकन्दर्पः पश्वादिधनवान् सुधीः । धनधान्याधिकश्चन्द्रादन्त्यस्थानगते भृगौ

yuvatījanakandarpaḥ paśvādidhanavān sudhīḥ | dhanadhānyādhikaścandrādantyasthānagate bhṛgau

A Kandarpa ⟨god of love⟩ to womenfolk, rich in cattle and the like, of good understanding, abounding in wealth and grain — ⟨so is he⟩ when Venus has gone to the last house (the 12th) from the Moon.

विस्तीर्णबाहुर्गुणवान् नेता पश्वादिवित्तवान् । गृहीतवाक्यो दुस्त्रीकश्चन्द्रादन्त्यङ्गते शनौ

vistīrṇabāhurguṇavān netā paśvādivittavān | gṛhītavākyo dustrīkaścandrādantyaṅgate śanau

Of long arms, virtuous, a leader, rich in cattle and the like, one whose word is taken ⟨as binding⟩, ⟨but⟩ saddled with a bad wife — ⟨so is he⟩ when Saturn has gone to the last house (the 12th) from the Moon.

असत्यवादी गुणवान् निपुणोऽतिशठो गुणी । लुब्धो वृद्धोऽसतीसक्तश्चन्द्रे सौम्यारमध्यगे

asatyavādī guṇavān nipuṇo'tiśaṭho guṇī | lubdho vṛddho'satīsaktaścandre saumyāramadhyage

A speaker of untruth, ⟨yet⟩ endowed with good qualities, skilful, exceedingly crafty, accomplished, greedy, thriving, and attached to unchaste women — when the Moon is placed between Mercury (saumya) and Mars (āra).

स्वकर्मविभवो दृष्टो यशस्वी रिपुपीडितः । स्वगेहशीलकृच्चन्द्रे मध्यगे कुजजीवयोः

svakarmavibhavo dṛṣṭo yaśasvī ripupīḍitaḥ | svagehaśīlakṛccandre madhyage kujajīvayoḥ

He is seen to prosper by his own work, famous, ⟨yet⟩ harassed by enemies, and keeps to the ways of his own house — when the Moon is placed between Mars and Jupiter.

व्यायामी सुभगः क्रूरो हृष्टः सत्कामवित्तवान् । भयादशीलः शीतांशौ मध्यगे कुजशुक्रयोः

vyāyāmī subhagaḥ krūro hṛṣṭaḥ satkāmavittavān | bhayādaśīlaḥ śītāṃśau madhyage kujaśukrayoḥ

Given to bodily exercise, fortunate, cruel, cheerful, possessed of worthy desires and of wealth, of a fear-inspiring disposition — when the cool-rayed one (the Moon) is placed between Mars and Venus.

कुत्सितस्त्रीरतः क्रोधी धनवान् पिशुनोऽरिमान् । असन्तृप्तो निशानाथे मध्यगे कुजमन्दयोः

kutsitastrīrataḥ krodhī dhanavān piśuno'rimān | asantṛpto niśānāthe madhyage kujamandayoḥ

Delighting in contemptible women, wrathful, wealthy, a slanderer, beset with enemies, never satisfied — when the lord of night (the Moon) is placed between Mars and Saturn (manda).

धर्मात्मा शास्त्रविद्वाग्मी सत्कविः सज्जनान्वितः । यशस्वी च निशानाथे मध्यगे बुधजीवयोः

dharmātmā śāstravidvāgmī satkaviḥ sajjanānvitaḥ | yaśasvī ca niśānāthe madhyage budhajīvayoḥ

Righteous, learned in the śāstras, eloquent, a true poet, attended by good people, and famous — when the lord of night (the Moon) is placed between Mercury and Jupiter.

नृत्यगानरतः कान्तः प्रियवाक् शुभगः सुधीः । शूरप्रकृतिकश्चन्द्रे मध्यगे बुधशुक्रयोः

nṛtyagānarataḥ kāntaḥ priyavāk śubhagaḥ sudhīḥ | śūraprakṛtikaścandre madhyage budhaśukrayoḥ

deśāddeśaṃ gataḥ pūjyo nātividyādhanānvitaḥ | svabandhujanavidveṣī candre mandajñamadhyage

Going from land to land, honoured, ⟨but⟩ not endowed with much learning or wealth, and hating his own kinsfolk — when the Moon is placed between Saturn (manda) and Mercury (jña).

नृपतुल्यकरः श्रीमान् नीतिज्ञो विक्रमान्वितः । ख्यातोऽदुष्टमतिश्चन्द्रे मध्यगे गुरुशुक्रयोः

vṛddhācāraḥ kulāḍhyaśca nipuṇastrījanaprabhuḥ | dhanī nṛpapriyaścandre sitādityasutāntare

Following the conduct of elders, rich in lineage, skilful, master over womenfolk, wealthy, and dear to the king — when the Moon is in between Venus and the Sun's son (Saturn).

स्वोच्चस्वमित्रभवनोपगतेषु सर्वं प्राप्नोति जातमनुजो नियतं यदुक्तम् । स्वांशेषु वा निजसुहृद्गृहसंयुतेषु प्राहुस्तथैव फलमस्ति पराशराद्याः

svoccasvamitrabhavanopagateṣu sarvaṃ prāpnoti jātamanujo niyataṃ yaduktam | svāṃśeṣu vā nijasuhṛdgṛhasaṃyuteṣu prāhustathaiva phalamasti parāśarādyāḥ

When ⟨the grahas⟩ have gone to their exaltation, their own house, or a friend's house, the man born assuredly obtains all that has been stated; or when ⟨they stand⟩ in their own aṃśas, or joined to their friends' houses — Parāśara and the rest declare the result to be that very same.

चन्द्रः सराहुर्यदि वा सकेतुश्चन्द्रादहिर्वा यदि रिःफयातः । नीचास्तगो वा यदि योगकर्ता जातस्य मिश्रं फलमाहुरार्याः

candraḥ sarāhuryadi vā saketuścandrādahirvā yadi riḥphayātaḥ | nīcāstago vā yadi yogakartā jātasya miśraṃ phalamāhurāryāḥ

If the Moon is with Rāhu, or with Ketu, or if the serpent (Rāhu) has gone to the 12th (riḥpha) from the Moon, or if the graha that makes the yoga is debilitated or set (combust) — the noble ⟨teachers⟩ declare the native's result to be mixed.

षष्ठाष्टमगतश्चन्द्रात्सुरराजपुरोहितः । केन्द्रादन्यगतो लग्नाद्योगः शकटसंज्ञितः

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamagataścandrātsurarājapurohitaḥ | kendrādanyagato lagnādyogaḥ śakaṭasaṃjñitaḥ

⟨When⟩ the preceptor of the king of the gods (Jupiter) has gone to the 6th or 8th from the Moon, and stands anywhere other than a kendra from the ascendant (lagna), the yoga is named Śakaṭa.

अपि राजकुले जातो निःस्वः शकटयोगजः । क्लेशायासवशान्नित्यं सन्तप्तो नृपविप्रियः

api rājakule jāto niḥsvaḥ śakaṭayogajaḥ | kleśāyāsavaśānnityaṃ santapto nṛpavipriyaḥ

Even though born into a royal house, one produced by the Śakaṭa yoga is destitute; constantly scorched by the force of distress and toil, he is out of favour with the king.

सपारिजातद्युचरः सुखानि नीरोगतामुत्तमवर्गयातः । सगोपुरांशो यदि गोधनानि सिंहासनस्थः कुरुते विभूतिम्

sapārijātadyucaraḥ sukhāni nīrogatāmuttamavargayātaḥ | sagopurāṃśo yadi godhanāni siṃhāsanasthaḥ kurute vibhūtim

A sky-goer ⟨graha⟩ holding pārijāta ⟨gives⟩ comforts; one gone to the uttama varga, freedom from disease; if it holds the gopura portion, herds of cattle; and standing in siṃhāsana it produces splendour.

करोति पारावतभागयुक्तो विद्यायशःश्रीविपुलं नराणाम् । सदेवलोको बहुयानसेनामैरावतस्थो यदि भूपतित्वम्

karoti pārāvatabhāgayukto vidyāyaśaḥśrīvipulaṃ narāṇām | sadevaloko bahuyānasenāmairāvatastho yadi bhūpatitvam

Joined to the pārāvata portion it makes men's learning, fame and prosperity abundant; with devaloka, many vehicles and an army; and if placed in airāvata, lordship of the earth.

अधमसमवरिष्ठान्यर्ककेन्द्रादिसंस्थे शशिनि विनयवित्तज्ञानधीनैपुणानि । अहनि निशि च चन्द्रे स्वाधिमित्रांशके वा सुरगुरुसितदृष्टे वित्तवान् स्यात् सुखी च

When the Moon stands in a kendra ⟨and the rest⟩ from the Sun, modesty, wealth, knowledge, intelligence and skill are ⟨respectively⟩ lowest, middling and best; and when the Moon, by day or by night, is in its own or its great friend's (adhimitra) aṃśaka, and aspected by the preceptor of the gods (Jupiter) and by Venus (sita), ⟨the native⟩ becomes wealthy and happy.

सौम्यैः स्मरारिनिधनेष्वधियोग इन्दोस्तस्मिंश्चमूपसचिवक्षितिपालजन्म । सम्पत्तिसौख्यविभवा हतशत्रवश्च दीर्घायुषो विगतरोगभयाश्च जाताः

By benefics in the 7th (smara), 6th (ari) and 8th (nidhana) from the Moon ⟨arises⟩ the Adhiyoga; in it occurs the birth of an army-commander, a minister, or a ruler of the earth. ⟨Those so⟩ born are possessed of wealth, happiness and power, their enemies destroyed, long-lived, and free from the fear of disease.

लग्नादरिद्यूनगृहाष्टमस्थैः शुभैर्न पापग्रहयोगदृष्टैः । लग्नाधियोगो भवति प्रसिद्धिः पापैः सुखस्थानविवर्जितैश्च

lagnādaridyūnagṛhāṣṭamasthaiḥ śubhairna pāpagrahayogadṛṣṭaiḥ | lagnādhiyogo bhavati prasiddhiḥ pāpaiḥ sukhasthānavivarjitaiśca

By benefics standing in the 6th (ari), 7th (dyūna) and 8th houses from the ascendant (lagna), not joined to nor aspected by malefic grahas, the Lagnādhiyoga arises, ⟨and with it⟩ renown — the malefics too being kept clear of the 4th house (sukha-sthāna).

लग्नाधियोगे बहुशास्त्रकर्ता विद्याविनीतश्च बलाधिकारी । मुख्यस्तु निष्कापटिको महात्मा लोके यशोवित्तगुणान्वितः स्यात्

lagnādhiyoge bahuśāstrakartā vidyāvinītaśca balādhikārī | mukhyastu niṣkāpaṭiko mahātmā loke yaśovittaguṇānvitaḥ syāt

One ⟨born under⟩ the Lagnādhiyoga is the maker of many śāstras, refined by learning, and wielding authority over forces; foremost, free of guile, great-souled, he is endowed in the world with fame, wealth and virtue.

केन्द्रस्थिते देवगुरौ मृगाङ्काद्योगस्तदाहुर्गजकेसरीति । दृष्टे सितार्येन्दुसुतैः शशाङ्के नीचास्तहीनैर्गजकेसरी स्यात्

kendrasthite devagurau mṛgāṅkādyogastadāhurgajakesarīti | dṛṣṭe sitāryendusutaiḥ śaśāṅke nīcāstahīnairgajakesarī syāt

When the preceptor of the gods (Jupiter) is placed in a kendra from the Moon (mṛgāṅka), they then call that yoga Gajakesarī; ⟨and⟩ when the Moon (śaśāṅka) is aspected by Venus (sita), Jupiter (ārya) and Mercury (indusuta), these being free of debilitation and combustion, Gajakesarī obtains.

गजकेसरिसञ्जातस्तेजस्वी धनधान्यवान् । मेधावी गुणसम्पन्नो राजप्रियकरो भवेत्

gajakesarisañjātastejasvī dhanadhānyavān | medhāvī guṇasampanno rājapriyakaro bhavet

One born under Gajakesarī is lustrous, rich in wealth and grain, intelligent, endowed with virtues, and a doer of what is dear to the king.

यस्य जन्मसमये शशिलग्नात् सद्ग्रहो यदि च कर्मणि संस्थः । तस्य कीर्तिरमला भुवि तिष्ठेदायुषोऽन्तमविनाशनसम्पत्

yasya janmasamaye śaśilagnāt sadgraho yadi ca karmaṇi saṃsthaḥ | tasya kīrtiramalā bhuvi tiṣṭhedāyuṣo'ntamavināśanasampat

At whose birth-time a benefic graha stands in the 10th (karma) from the Moon-ascendant (śaśi-lagna), his spotless fame stands upon the earth to the end of his life, and his fortune is imperishable.

लग्नाद्वा चन्द्रलग्नाद्वा दशमे शुभसंयुते । योगोऽयममला नाम कीर्तिराचन्द्रतारकी

lagnādvā candralagnādvā daśame śubhasaṃyute | yogo'yamamalā nāma kīrtirācandratārakī

When the 10th from the ascendant (lagna), or from the Moon-ascendant (candra-lagna), is joined by a benefic, this yoga is named Amalā: fame ⟨enduring⟩ as long as the moon and the stars.

राजपूज्यो महाभोगी दाता बन्धुजनप्रियः । परोपकारी गुणवान् अमलायोगसम्भवः

rājapūjyo mahābhogī dātā bandhujanapriyaḥ | paropakārī guṇavān amalāyogasambhavaḥ

Honoured by the king, a great enjoyer, a giver, dear to his kinsfolk, a doer of good to others, and virtuous — such is one arising from the Amalā yoga.

व्ययधनयुतखेटैर्वासिवेशी दिनेशादुभयचरिकयोगश्चोभयस्थानसंस्थैः । निजगृहसुहृदुच्चस्थानयातैश्च जाता बहुधनसुखयुक्ता राजतुल्या भवन्ति

vyayadhanayutakheṭairvāsiveśī dineśādubhayacarikayogaścobhayasthānasaṃsthaiḥ | nijagṛhasuhṛduccasthānayātaiśca jātā bahudhanasukhayuktā rājatulyā bhavanti

By grahas (kheṭa) joined to the 12th (vyaya) and the 2nd (dhana) from the Sun (dineśa) ⟨arise⟩ Vāsi and Veśi, and the Ubhayacarī yoga by ⟨grahas⟩ standing in both places; and when those have gone to their own house, a friend's ⟨house⟩, or their exaltation, those born are joined with much wealth and happiness and become the equals of kings.

जातः सुशीलः शुभवेसियोगे वाग्मी धनी वीतभयो जितारिः । पापग्रहे दुष्टजनानुरक्तः पापात्मको वित्तसुखादिहीनः

jātaḥ suśīlaḥ śubhavesiyoge vāgmī dhanī vītabhayo jitāriḥ | pāpagrahe duṣṭajanānuraktaḥ pāpātmako vittasukhādihīnaḥ

One born under an auspicious Veśi yoga is of good conduct, eloquent, wealthy, free from fear, and a conqueror of his enemies. When a malefic graha ⟨forms it⟩, he is attached to wicked people, sinful by nature, and destitute of wealth, comfort and the rest.

वासौ शुभग्रहयुते निपुणः प्रदाता विद्याविनोदसुखवित्तयशोबलाढ्यः । पापान्विते यदि विदेशगतोऽतिमूर्खः कामातुरो वधरुचिर्विकृताननः स्यात्

vāsau śubhagrahayute nipuṇaḥ pradātā vidyāvinodasukhavittayaśobalāḍhyaḥ | pāpānvite yadi videśagato'timūrkhaḥ kāmāturo vadharucirvikṛtānanaḥ syāt

In that Vāsi ⟨yoga⟩, when it is joined with benefic grahas, ⟨the native is⟩ skilful, a liberal giver, and rich in learning, amusement, comfort, wealth, fame and strength. If it is joined with malefics, he goes to a foreign land, is exceedingly stupid, tormented by lust, delights in killing, and has a deformed face.

सौम्यान्वितोभयचरीप्रभवा नरेन्द्रास्तत्तुल्यवित्तसुखशीलदयानुरक्ताः । पापान्वितोभयचरौ यदि पापकृत्या रोगाभिभूतपरकर्मरता दरिद्राः

saumyānvitobhayacarīprabhavā narendrāstattulyavittasukhaśīladayānuraktāḥ | pāpānvitobhayacarau yadi pāpakṛtyā rogābhibhūtaparakarmaratā daridrāḥ

Those born of an Ubhayacarī joined with benefics are kings, attached in like measure to wealth, comfort, good conduct and compassion. If the two ⟨grahas forming⟩ Ubhayacarī are joined with malefics, they are doers of evil deeds, overcome by disease, engaged in the work of others, and poor.

शुभाशुभाढ्ये यदि जन्मलग्ने शुभाशुभाख्यौ भवतस्तदानीम् । व्ययस्वगैः पापशुभैर्विलग्नात् पापाख्यसौम्यग्रहकर्त्तरी च

śubhāśubhāḍhye yadi janmalagne śubhāśubhākhyau bhavatastadānīm | vyayasvagaiḥ pāpaśubhairvilagnāt pāpākhyasaumyagrahakarttarī ca

If the birth lagna is enriched by a benefic or by a malefic, then at that time the two ⟨yogas⟩ named Śubha and Aśubha come to be. And by malefics and benefics occupying the 12th (vyaya) and the 2nd (sva) from the lagna, there arise the Kartari ⟨yogas⟩ named Pāpa and Saumya-graha ⟨that is, benefic⟩.

शुभयोगभवो वाग्मी रूपशीलगुणान्वितः । पापयोगोद्भवः कामी पापकर्मा परार्थभुक्

śubhayogabhavo vāgmī rūpaśīlaguṇānvitaḥ | pāpayogodbhavaḥ kāmī pāpakarmā parārthabhuk

One produced by Śubha yoga is eloquent and endowed with beauty, good conduct and virtues. One arising from Pāpa yoga is lustful, a doer of evil deeds, and one who lives on the wealth of others.

शुभकर्तरिसञ्जातस्तेजोवित्तबलाधिकः । पापकर्तरिके पापी भिक्षाशी मलिनो भवेत्

śubhakartarisañjātastejovittabalādhikaḥ | pāpakartarike pāpī bhikṣāśī malino bhavet

One born in Śubha-kartari abounds in splendour, wealth and strength. In Pāpa-kartari he is wicked, an eater of alms, and filthy.

सौम्येषु केन्द्रगृहगेषु सपत्नरन्ध्रे शुद्धेऽथवा शुभयुते यदि पर्वतः स्यात् । लग्नान्त्यपौ यदि परस्परकेन्द्रयातौ मित्रेक्षितौ भवति पर्वतनाम योगः

saumyeṣu kendragṛhageṣu sapatnarandhre śuddhe'thavā śubhayute yadi parvataḥ syāt | lagnāntyapau yadi parasparakendrayātau mitrekṣitau bhavati parvatanāma yogaḥ

When benefics occupy the kendra houses and the 6th (sapatna) and the 8th (randhra) are clear ⟨of grahas⟩, or else joined with benefics, Parvata ⟨yoga⟩ arises. Or, if the lords of the lagna and of the 12th (antya) stand in kendras from each other and are aspected by their friends, the yoga named Parvata comes to be.

भाग्यान्वितः पर्वतयोगजातो विद्याविनोदाभिरतः प्रदाता । कामी परस्त्रीजनकेलिलोलस्तेजोयशस्वी पुरनायकः स्यात्

bhāgyānvitaḥ parvatayogajāto vidyāvinodābhirataḥ pradātā | kāmī parastrījanakelilolastejoyaśasvī puranāyakaḥ syāt

One born in Parvata yoga is fortunate, devoted to learning and amusement, a liberal giver, lustful, eager for dalliance with the wives of others, splendid and renowned; he becomes the chief of a city.

अन्योन्यकेन्द्रगृहगौ गुरुबन्धुनाथौ लग्नाधिपे बलयुते यदि काहलः स्यात् । कर्मेश्वरेण सहिते तु विलोकिते वा स्वोच्चस्वके सुखपतौ यदि तादृशः स्यात्

anyonyakendragṛhagau gurubandhunāthau lagnādhipe balayute yadi kāhalaḥ syāt | karmeśvareṇa sahite tu vilokite vā svoccasvake sukhapatau yadi tādṛśaḥ syāt

When the lords of the 9th (guru) and of the 4th (bandhu) stand in kendras from each other and the lord of the lagna is strong, it is Kāhala ⟨yoga⟩. And if the lord of the 4th (sukha) is joined with, or aspected by, the lord of the 10th (karma), and stands in its own exaltation or its own house, it is the same.

ओजस्वी साहसी मूर्खश्चतुरङ्गबलैर्युतः । यत्किञ्चिद्ग्रामनाथस्तु जातः स्यात् काहले नरः

ojasvī sāhasī mūrkhaścaturaṅgabalairyutaḥ | yatkiñcidgrāmanāthastu jātaḥ syāt kāhale naraḥ

A man born in Kāhala is vigorous, bold, stupid, possessed of the four-limbed army, and lord of some village or other.

लग्नादिसप्तगृहगा यदि सप्त खेटा जातो महीपतिरनेकगजाश्वनाथः । वित्तादिगो निधिपतिः पितृभक्तियुक्तो धीरोऽग्ररूपगुणवान् नरचक्रवर्ती

lagnādisaptagṛhagā yadi sapta kheṭā jāto mahīpatiranekagajāśvanāthaḥ | vittādigo nidhipatiḥ pitṛbhaktiyukto dhīro'grarūpaguṇavān naracakravartī

If the seven grahas occupy the seven houses beginning with the lagna, the native is a king, lord of many elephants and horses. ⟨If the chain runs⟩ from the 2nd (vitta) onward, he is a lord of treasure, devoted to his father, steadfast, endowed with foremost beauty and virtue, an emperor among men.

जातो यदा विक्रममालिकायां भूपः स शूरो धनिकश्च रोगी । सुखादिकश्चेद् बहुदेशभाग्यभोगी महादानपरो महीपः

jāto yadā vikramamālikāyāṃ bhūpaḥ sa śūro dhanikaśca rogī | sukhādikaśced bahudeśabhāgyabhogī mahādānaparo mahīpaḥ

One born in the Vikrama (3rd-house) mālikā is a king, brave, wealthy — and diseased. If ⟨it begins⟩ from the 4th (sukha), he enjoys the fortunes of many countries, is given to great giving, and is a king.

पुत्राद्या यदि मालिका नरपतिर्यज्वाथवा कीर्तिमान् । जातः षष्ठगृहात् क्वचिद् धनसुखप्राप्तो दरिद्रो भवेत् । कामादिग्रहमालिका यदि बहुस्त्रीवल्लभो भूपतिः । दीर्घायुर्धनवर्जितो नरवरस्त्रीनिर्जितश्चाष्टमात्

putrādyā yadi mālikā narapatiryajvāthavā kīrtimān | jātaḥ ṣaṣṭhagṛhāt kvacid dhanasukhaprāpto daridro bhavet | kāmādigrahamālikā yadi bahustrīvallabho bhūpatiḥ | dīrghāyurdhanavarjito naravarastrīnirjitaścāṣṭamāt

If the mālikā begins from the 5th (putra), ⟨the native is⟩ a king, a performer of sacrifices or a man of renown. One born ⟨of the mālikā⟩ from the 6th house, having gained some wealth and comfort, becomes poor. If the graha-mālikā begins from the 7th (kāma), he is beloved of many women and is a king. And from the 8th: long-lived, devoid of wealth, a best of men vanquished by women.

धर्मादिग्रहमालिका गुणनिधिर्यज्वा तपस्वी विभुः । कर्माद्या यदि धर्मकर्मनिरतः सम्पूजितः सज्जनैः । लाभाद्राजवराङ्गनामणिपतिः सर्वक्रियादक्षको । जातो रिःफगृहाद्बहुव्ययकरः सर्वत्र पूज्यो भवेत्

dharmādigrahamālikā guṇanidhiryajvā tapasvī vibhuḥ | karmādyā yadi dharmakarmanirataḥ sampūjitaḥ sajjanaiḥ | lābhādrājavarāṅganāmaṇipatiḥ sarvakriyādakṣako | jāto riḥphagṛhādbahuvyayakaraḥ sarvatra pūjyo bhavet

⟨If⟩ the graha-mālikā ⟨begins⟩ from the 9th (dharma), he is a treasury of virtues, a performer of sacrifices, an ascetic, a lord. If from the 10th (karma), he is devoted to dharma and ⟨ritual⟩ works and honoured by the good. From the 11th (lābha), he is a lord of kings, of excellent women and of jewels, and skilful in every undertaking. One born ⟨of the mālikā⟩ from the 12th (riḥpha) house makes great expenditure and is honoured everywhere.

लग्नेश्वरे केन्द्रगते स्वतुङ्गे जीवेक्षिते चामरनामयोगः । सौम्यद्वये लग्नगृहे कलत्रे नवास्पदे वा यदि चामरः स्यात्

lagneśvare kendragate svatuṅge jīvekṣite cāmaranāmayogaḥ | saumyadvaye lagnagṛhe kalatre navāspade vā yadi cāmaraḥ syāt

When the lord of the lagna is in a kendra, in its own exaltation, and aspected by Jupiter (jīva), it is the yoga named Cāmara. Or if two benefics are in the lagna, the 7th (kalatra), the 9th, or the 10th (āspada), Cāmara arises.

योगे जातश्चामरे राजपूज्यो विद्वान् वाग्मी पण्डितो वा महीपः । सर्वज्ञः स्याद्वेदशास्त्राधिकारी जीवेल्लोके सप्ततिर्वत्सराणाम्

yoge jātaścāmare rājapūjyo vidvān vāgmī paṇḍito vā mahīpaḥ | sarvajñaḥ syādvedaśāstrādhikārī jīvelloke saptatirvatsarāṇām

One born in the Cāmara yoga is honoured by kings, learned, eloquent, a paṇḍita or a king; all-knowing, an authority on the Vedas and the śāstras; he lives seventy years in this world.

अन्योन्यकेन्द्रगृहगौ सुतशत्रुनाथौ लग्नाधिपे बलयुते यदि शङ्खयोगः । लग्नाधिपे च गगनाधिपतौ चरस्थे भाग्याधिपे बलयुते तु तथा वदन्ति

anyonyakendragṛhagau sutaśatrunāthau lagnādhipe balayute yadi śaṅkhayogaḥ | lagnādhipe ca gaganādhipatau carasthe bhāgyādhipe balayute tu tathā vadanti

When the lords of the 5th (suta) and of the 6th (śatru) stand in kendras from each other and the lord of the lagna is strong, it is Śaṅkha yoga. And when the lord of the lagna and the lord of the 10th (gagana) are in movable ⟨signs⟩ and the lord of the 9th (bhāgya) is strong, they declare the same.

शङ्खे जातो भोगशीलो दयालुः स्त्रीपुत्रार्थक्षेत्रवान् पुण्यकर्मा । शास्त्रज्ञानाचारसाधुक्रियावान् जीवेल्लोके वत्सराणामशीतिः

śaṅkhe jāto bhogaśīlo dayāluḥ strīputrārthakṣetravān puṇyakarmā | śāstrajñānācārasādhukriyāvān jīvelloke vatsarāṇāmaśītiḥ

One born in Śaṅkha is given to enjoyment, compassionate, possessed of wife, sons, wealth and lands, a doer of meritorious deeds, endowed with knowledge of the śāstras, with good conduct and with virtuous acts; he lives eighty years in this world.

स्वान्त्योदयास्तभवनेषु वियच्चरेषु कर्माधिपे बलयुते यदि भेरियोगः । केन्द्रं गतौ सुरगुरोः सितलग्ननाथौ भाग्येश्वरे बलयुते तु तथैव वाच्यम्

svāntyodayāstabhavaneṣu viyaccareṣu karmādhipe balayute yadi bheriyogaḥ | kendraṃ gatau suraguroḥ sitalagnanāthau bhāgyeśvare balayute tu tathaiva vācyam

If the sky-goers ⟨the grahas⟩ stand in the 2nd (sva), the 12th (antya), the 1st (udaya) and the 7th (asta) houses and the lord of the 10th (karma) is strong, it is Bherī yoga. When Venus and the lord of the lagna have gone to a kendra from Jupiter (the preceptor of the gods) and the lord of the 9th (bhāgya) is strong, the same is to be declared.

दीर्घायुषो विगतरोगभया नरेन्द्राः बह्वर्थभूमिसुतदारयुताः प्रसिद्धाः । आचारभूरिसुखशौर्यमहानुभावाः भेरीप्रजातमनुजा निपुणाः कुलीनाः

dīrghāyuṣo vigatarogabhayā narendrāḥ bahvarthabhūmisutadārayutāḥ prasiddhāḥ | ācārabhūrisukhaśauryamahānubhāvāḥ bherīprajātamanujā nipuṇāḥ kulīnāḥ

Men born of Bherī are long-lived, free from disease and fear, kings, possessed of much wealth, land, sons and wives, renowned, ⟨endowed⟩ with good conduct, abundant comfort, valour and great dignity, skilful and well-born.

उच्चग्रहांशकपतौ यदि कोणकेन्द्रे तुङ्गस्वकीयभवनोपगते बलाढ्ये । लग्नाधिपे बलयुते तु मृदङ्गयोगः कल्याणरूपनृपतुल्ययशःप्रदः स्यात्

uccagrahāṃśakapatau yadi koṇakendre tuṅgasvakīyabhavanopagate balāḍhye | lagnādhipe balayute tu mṛdaṅgayogaḥ kalyāṇarūpanṛpatulyayaśaḥpradaḥ syāt

If the lord of the navāṃśa ⟨occupied by⟩ an exalted graha stands in a trikoṇa or a kendra, having reached exaltation or its own house and being strong, and the lord of the lagna too is strong, then it is Mṛdaṅga yoga, which grants welfare, beauty, and fame equal to a king's.
