यो भावः स्वस्वामिशुभैर्युक्तो दृष्टो वा तस्य वृद्धिः पापैर्हानिर्मिश्रैर्मिश्रम् ।
yo bhāvaḥ svasvāmiśubhairyukto dṛṣṭo vā tasya vṛddhiḥ pāpairhānirmiśrairmiśram |
Whatever house (bhāva) is joined with, or aspected by, its own lord and by benefics — of that ⟨bhāva there is⟩ prosperity; by malefics, harm; by mixed ⟨grahas⟩, a mixed ⟨result⟩.

- About this edition: UNNUMBERED TEXT OF THE WORK, printed here and carried in this note rather than as a sūtra because it bears no number and a number may not be invented (first hemistich of the unnumbered maṅgala-śloka that opens the Prakīrṇa Tattva): “आलिङ्गनाय संवृत्तौ भवौ देवौ मिथो भिया । / विश्लेषस्यैकतां यातौ भूयास्तां मङ्गलाय नः॥”
- About this edition: UNNUMBERED TEXT OF THE WORK, printed here and carried in this note rather than as a sūtra because it bears no number and a number may not be invented (the unnumbered rubric heading the examination of the bhāvas): “तत्रादौ भावानां विचारः ।”
- About this edition: The first numbered sūtra of the Prakīrṇa Tattva; it states the general rule that the whole section then applies bhāva by bhāva. The edition prints before it an unnumbered maṅgala-śloka and the unnumbered rubric तत्रादौ भावानां विचारः (‘herein, first, the examination of the bhāvas’); both are carried in the input's notes and are not translated here, since neither bears a number. OCR: the file prints पापैहानि for पापैर्हानिः — the sense is not in doubt. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पापैर्हानिर्मिश्रैर्मिश्रम्; this sentence names पापैहानि, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
नीचारिस्थो ग्रहो भावनाशकः ।
nīcāristho graho bhāvanāśakaḥ |
A graha placed in debilitation, or in an enemy's ⟨sign⟩, is the destroyer of the bhāva ⟨in which it stands⟩.
स्वसुहृत्तुङ्गस्थो भाववृद्धिकरः।
svasuhṛttuṅgastho bhāvavṛddhikaraḥ|
⟨A graha⟩ placed in its own ⟨sign⟩, in a friend's ⟨sign⟩, or in exaltation causes the prosperity of the bhāva ⟨in which it stands⟩.
यद्भावात् त्रिके पापास्तद्भावनाशः ।
yadbhāvāt trike pāpāstadbhāvanāśaḥ |
⟨When⟩ malefics stand in the trika ⟨the 6th, 8th and 12th⟩ from a given bhāva, ⟨there is⟩ destruction of that bhāva.
यद्भावेशस्त्रिके त्रिकेशो वा यद्भावे तद्भावनाशः।
yadbhāveśastrike trikeśo vā yadbhāve tadbhāvanāśaḥ|
⟨When⟩ the lord of a given bhāva is in a trika, or a lord of a trika is in that bhāva, ⟨there is⟩ destruction of that bhāva.
यद्भावीयकेन्द्रार्थकोणस्थानानि शुभपतियुतानि तद्भाव पुष्टिः पापयुतानि चेद्धानिर्मिश्रयुतानि मिश्रम् ।
yadbhāvīyakendrārthakoṇasthānāni śubhapatiyutāni tadbhāva puṣṭiḥ pāpayutāni ceddhānirmiśrayutāni miśram |
⟨When⟩ the kendra and artha-trikoṇa ⟨the 2nd, 6th and 10th⟩ places belonging to a given bhāva are joined with benefics and ⟨its⟩ lord, ⟨there is⟩ the thriving of that bhāva; if they are joined with malefics, harm; if joined with mixed ⟨grahas⟩, a mixed ⟨result⟩.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: Two divisions of the compound are open and this single OCR exemplar cannot settle either. केन्द्रार्थकोणस्थानानि is read here as kendra + artha-koṇa (the artha-trine: the 2nd, 6th and 10th) reckoned from the bhāva; it can equally be divided kendra, artha ⟨the 2nd⟩ and koṇa ⟨the trines⟩. शुभपतियुतानि is taken as ‘joined with benefics and the lord’, on the pattern of sūtra 1 (स्वस्वामिशुभैः); it can also be read ‘joined with benefic lords’. The verdict clause (puṣṭi / hāni / miśra) is unaffected either way. The edition prints तद्भाव पुष्टिः with a space, for तद्भावपुष्टिः.
यद्भावे शौरिर्नीचास्तगः शुभैरयुतेक्षितश्चेत् तद्भावनाशः ।
yadbhāve śaurirnīcāstagaḥ śubhairayutekṣitaścet tadbhāvanāśaḥ |
If Saturn stands in a given bhāva debilitated or combust ⟨asta⟩, and is neither joined with nor aspected by benefics, ⟨there is⟩ destruction of that bhāva.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: शौरि (‘son of the Sun’) is Saturn. अस्त here is the graha's combustion, not the 7th house — the value the glossary records for asta in the Ṣaṭpañcāśikā; predicated of a graha alongside नीच it can only be combustion.
यद्यद्भावीयरन्ध्रेशसूर्यशनिगुलिकेशगुलिकांशेशानां मध्ये योऽधिकबली तत्पाके मूर्तिवित्तादिनाशः ।
yadyadbhāvīyarandhreśasūryaśanigulikeśagulikāṃśeśānāṃ madhye yo'dhikabalī tatpāke mūrtivittādināśaḥ |
Among the lord of the 8th ⟨randhra⟩ counted from each and every bhāva, the Sun, Saturn, the lord of ⟨the sign occupied by⟩ Gulika, and the lord of the aṃśa ⟨occupied by⟩ Gulika — whichever is the strongest: in its period ⟨pāka, its daśā⟩ comes the destruction of the body ⟨mūrti⟩, of wealth ⟨vitta⟩, and so on.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The doubled यद्यद् is distributive: the rule is applied afresh from every bhāva in turn. मूर्ति is the 1st bhāva (the body) and वित्त the 2nd (wealth); the आदि carries the series on through the remaining bhāvas, the ruin falling on whichever bhāva was taken as the starting point. पाक here is the daśā period of the graha, not ripening in any other sense.
स्वांशेऽङ्गेशे शुभयुते वा शुभदृष्टे देहसौख्यम् ।
svāṃśe'ṅgeśe śubhayute vā śubhadṛṣṭe dehasaukhyam |
⟨When⟩ the lord of the aṅga ⟨the 1st house, the body⟩ is in its own aṃśa, or joined with benefics, or aspected by benefics, ⟨there is⟩ bodily ease.
2 notes on this verse
- About this edition: UNNUMBERED TEXT OF THE WORK, printed here and carried in this note rather than as a sūtra because it bears no number and a number may not be invented (the unnumbered rubric heading the examination of the parts of the body): “अथाङ्गविचारः ॥”
- About this edition: The examination of the aṅga — the body, that is the 1st house — begins here; the edition heads it with the unnumbered rubric अथाङ्गविचारः, carried in the input's notes and untranslated here because it bears no number. Through sūtras 9–28 अङ्ग is the 1st house and अङ्गेश its lord, used interchangeably with लग्न and लग्नेश.
अङ्गेशोऽङ्गे देहसौख्यम् ।
aṅgeśo'ṅge dehasaukhyam |
The lord of the aṅga in the aṅga ⟨the 1st house⟩: bodily ease.
सपापेऽङ्गेशे त्रिके देहसौख्यं न ।
sapāpe'ṅgeśe trike dehasaukhyaṃ na |
⟨When⟩ the lord of the aṅga, accompanied by a malefic, is in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩, there is no bodily ease.
लग्ने पापा लग्नेशे च हीनवीर्ये देहसौख्यं न ।
lagne pāpā lagneśe ca hīnavīrye dehasaukhyaṃ na |
⟨When⟩ malefics are in the lagna ⟨the ascendant⟩ and the lord of the lagna is deficient in strength, there is no bodily ease.
शनिचन्द्रौ मेषे देहकार्श्यम् ।
śanicandrau meṣe dehakārśyam |
Saturn and the Moon in Meṣa ⟨Aries⟩: emaciation of the body.
अन्त्येशे लाभकेन्द्रगे वक्रे देहकार्श्यम् ।
antyeśe lābhakendrage vakre dehakārśyam |
⟨When⟩ the lord of the 12th ⟨antya⟩, being retrograde, occupies the 11th ⟨lābha⟩ or a kendra: emaciation of the body.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: वक्र here is retrograde motion, not Mars — the glossary's other value for the word; it stands in the locative absolute with अन्त्येशे, so it qualifies the 12th lord and cannot be a separate graha.
लग्नेशाधिष्ठितभेशस्त्रिके देहकार्श्यम् ।
lagneśādhiṣṭhitabheśastrike dehakārśyam |
⟨When⟩ the lord of the sign occupied by the lagna-lord is in a trika: emaciation of the body.
शुष्काङ्गे शुष्कग्रहे देहकार्श्यम् ।
śuṣkāṅge śuṣkagrahe dehakārśyam |
⟨When⟩ the aṅga ⟨the 1st house⟩ is a dry ⟨śuṣka⟩ sign and a dry graha ⟨stands there⟩: emaciation of the body.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: शुष्क (‘dry’) is left undefined: the text assumes its reader's list of dry signs and dry grahas, and this sūtra together with the four that follow (17–20) all turn on it. Nothing in the printed chapter supplies the list, so it is not supplied here.
शुष्कयुतेऽङ्गेशे कार्श्यम् ।
śuṣkayute'ṅgeśe kārśyam |
⟨When⟩ the lord of the aṅga is joined with a dry ⟨graha⟩: emaciation.
शुष्कग्रहर्क्षेऽङ्गेशे कार्श्यम् ।
śuṣkagraharkṣe'ṅgeśe kārśyam |
⟨When⟩ the lord of the aṅga is in the sign of a dry graha: emaciation.
लग्नेशांशेशे शुष्के कार्श्यम् ।
lagneśāṃśeśe śuṣke kārśyam |
⟨When⟩ the lord of the aṃśa ⟨occupied by⟩ the lagna-lord is dry: emaciation.
शुष्काङ्गगैः पापैः कार्श्यम् ।
śuṣkāṅgagaiḥ pāpaiḥ kārśyam |
By malefics standing in a dry aṅga ⟨1st house⟩: emaciation.
राशीशे साङ्गनाथे देहपुष्टिः।
rāśīśe sāṅganāthe dehapuṣṭiḥ|
⟨When⟩ the lord of the rāśi is together with the lord of the aṅga: robustness of body.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: राशीश is left unqualified. Since it is named beside the अङ्गेश (the lagna-lord), it is most naturally the lord of the janma-rāśi — the sign held by the Moon; the sūtra as printed does not say so, and no second exemplar is available to test it.
तोयर्क्षेऽङ्गेशे शुभान्विते वा जलखगदृष्टे देहपुष्टिः ।
toyarkṣe'ṅgeśe śubhānvite vā jalakhagadṛṣṭe dehapuṣṭiḥ |
⟨When⟩ the lord of the aṅga is in a watery sign, and is joined with benefics or aspected by a watery graha: robustness of body.
शुभर्क्षेऽङ्गे जलर्क्षेऽङ्गांशेशे देहपुष्टिः ।
śubharkṣe'ṅge jalarkṣe'ṅgāṃśeśe dehapuṣṭiḥ |
⟨When⟩ the aṅga ⟨the 1st house⟩ is in a benefic's sign and the lord of the aṅga's aṃśa is in a watery sign: robustness of body.
लग्ने शुभर्क्षे पापदृग्वर्जिते देहपुष्टिः ।
lagne śubharkṣe pāpadṛgvarjite dehapuṣṭiḥ |
⟨When⟩ the lagna is in a benefic's sign and free of malefic aspect: robustness of body.
लग्ने गुरुयुते वा गुरुदृष्टे देहपुष्टिः ।
lagne guruyute vā gurudṛṣṭe dehapuṣṭiḥ |
⟨When⟩ the lagna is joined with Jupiter, or aspected by Jupiter: robustness of body.
जलर्क्षेऽङ्गे शुभैर्युते वा दृष्टे देहपुष्टिः ।
jalarkṣe'ṅge śubhairyute vā dṛṣṭe dehapuṣṭiḥ |
⟨When⟩ the aṅga ⟨the 1st house⟩ is in a watery sign and is joined with or aspected by benefics: robustness of body.
मिथुनांशे देहपुष्टिः ।
mithunāṃśe dehapuṣṭiḥ |
In the Mithuna ⟨Gemini⟩ aṃśa: robustness of body.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The sūtra names only the aṃśa; what stands in it is left to be supplied from the run — the aṅga (the lagna) or its lord in the Gemini navāṃśa, on the pattern of sūtras 19 and 23. The Sanskrit supplies no subject and none is invented here.
लग्नगे सबले सत्खचरे देहपुष्टिः ।
lagnage sabale satkhacare dehapuṣṭiḥ |
⟨When⟩ a benefic graha occupying the lagna is strong: robustness of body.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: सत्स्वचरे is the one uncertain word in this run. It is read here as sat-svacare, a third locative agreeing with लग्नगे and सबले and so describing the same graha — ‘in its own proper course’, i.e. direct, which answers sūtra 14 where a retrograde lord brings emaciation. It can also be divided satsu acare (a regular sandhi), ‘the benefics standing in a non-movable sign’, which would make it a separate condition. The case agreement favours the first; a single OCR exemplar cannot settle it, and the verdict (deha-puṣṭi) is the same on either reading. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सत्खचरे; this sentence names सत्स्वचरे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
लग्नादिराशयः शिरःप्रभृति कालाङ्गेषु कल्प्याः ।
lagnādirāśayaḥ śiraḥprabhṛti kālāṅgeṣu kalpyāḥ |
The signs beginning with the lagna are to be assigned, beginning with the head, to the limbs of Kāla ⟨the Kālapuruṣa⟩.
यत्राङ्गे दीर्घराशिः दीर्घभपश्च तद्दीर्घं व्यस्ते ह्रस्वं, मिश्रे मिश्रं ग्रहानाक्रान्तराशिश्चेद्राशिवत् ।
yatrāṅge dīrgharāśiḥ dīrghabhapaśca taddīrghaṃ vyaste hrasvaṃ, miśre miśraṃ grahānākrāntarāśiścedrāśivat |
In whichever limb there is a long sign and the lord of that sign is ⟨also⟩ long, that ⟨limb is⟩ long; when it is the reverse, short; when they are mixed, mixed. And if the sign is unoccupied by grahas, ⟨the limb follows⟩ the sign ⟨alone⟩.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: दीर्घ / ह्रस्व are the long- and short-limbed classes of signs and of grahas; भप is the sign's lord, itself of the one class or the other. The closing clause presupposes that a graha standing in the sign would otherwise carry weight in the judgement, though the sūtra as printed names only the sign and its lord — the tension is in the text, not in the rendering.
बुधात्सप्तमे भौमे दीर्घदेहः ।
budhātsaptame bhaume dīrghadehaḥ |
Mars in the seventh from Mercury — ⟨the native has⟩ a long body.
लग्नपे दीर्घभे दीर्घदेहः ।
lagnape dīrghabhe dīrghadehaḥ |
The lord of the lagna in a long sign — a long body.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: दीर्घभ, 'long sign', is the classification set up two sūtras earlier (C.29–30), where the twelve rāśis from the lagna map onto the limbs of the Kālapuruṣa and a long sign lengthens the limb it stands for; the whole run 31–38 works with that pair, dīrgha against alpatara/alpa.
मन्दात्तुर्ये चन्द्रे राश्याद्यभागे वाल्पतरराश्यन्त्यभागे वामनः।
mandātturye candre rāśyādyabhāge vālpatararāśyantyabhāge vāmanaḥ|
The Moon in the fourth from Saturn, and ⟨placed⟩ in the first portion of a sign, or in the last portion of a shorter sign — ⟨the native is⟩ a dwarf.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The printing reads मन्दात्तुर्य where the locative मन्दात्तुर्ये is required by चन्द्रे; read as the locative. भाग is the portion of the sign — the edition's own English narrows it to 'the first degree', which the word does not itself say.
लग्नेशेऽल्पतरभे शुभे दृग्घीने वामनः ।
lagneśe'lpatarabhe śubhe dṛgghīne vāmanaḥ |
The lord of the lagna in a shorter sign, devoid of benefic aspect — a dwarf.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: शुभे दृग्धीने is printed as two words but is the compound śubha-dṛg-hīna, written solid at C.60 below and rendered there 'devoid of benefic aspect' by the edition itself. The edition's English at this sūtra instead makes शुभ a predicate of the lagna lord ('be a benefic, free from any aspect') — a reading the parallel does not support. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads दृग्घीने; this sentence names दृग्धीने, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
पृष्ठोदयगे चन्द्रे तुर्ये शनिदृष्टे चाजेऽङ्गेशे वामनः ।
pṛṣṭhodayage candre turye śanidṛṣṭe cāje'ṅgeśe vāmanaḥ |
The Moon in a back-rising sign (pṛṣṭhodaya) in the fourth, aspected by Saturn, and the lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) in Aries (aja) — a dwarf.
सिंहेऽर्काच्छौ खे मृगे चन्द्रे वामनः ।
siṃhe'rkācchau khe mṛge candre vāmanaḥ |
The Sun and Venus (accha) in Leo ⟨as⟩ the tenth, the Moon in Capricorn (mṛga) — a dwarf.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अच्छ ('clear, bright', a synonym of śukra) is this text's epithet for Venus, fixed by its own sūtras: A.37 makes the Moon and accha the female grahas, A.38 makes Mercury and accha rājasa, A.50 makes Saturn and accha the Sun's enemies, A.56 makes Mercury and accha Saturn's friends — Venus in every case. Grouping: सिंहे and खे are taken together with the pair, as the edition's English takes them ('the 10th identical with Simha'); taking खे with चन्द्रे instead — the Moon in Capricorn in the tenth — is equally grammatical and puts the lagna in a different sign. The sūtra does not decide it.
आद्यन्त्येशे चन्द्रमन्ददृष्टे सौम्यादृष्टे वामनः ।
ādyantyeśe candramandadṛṣṭe saumyādṛṣṭe vāmanaḥ |
The lord of the first and of the last ⟨house⟩ aspected by the Moon and Saturn, and unaspected by a benefic — a dwarf.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: आद्यन्त्येशे is one locative covering the lords of the 1st and the 12th. सौम्य is rendered as the benefic class; the edition's own translator marked his doubt at exactly this word, glossing 'a benefic (Mercury?)' — both senses are live and the sūtra does not disambiguate.
लग्नेशेऽल्पर्क्षे लग्नदर्शिनि वामनः ।
lagneśe'lparkṣe lagnadarśini vāmanaḥ |
The lord of the lagna in a short sign, aspecting the lagna — a dwarf.
केन्द्रस्थाः क्रूराः विकलाङ्गः।
kendrasthāḥ krūrāḥ vikalāṅgaḥ|
Malefics standing in the kendras — ⟨the native is⟩ deformed of limb.
केन्द्रगौ पुष्पवन्तौ विकलाङ्गः।
kendragau puṣpavantau vikalāṅgaḥ|
The two puṣpavants — the Sun and the Moon — placed in kendras: deformed of limb.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: पुष्पवन्तौ, 'the two possessed of flowers', is the standing dual epithet of the Sun and Moon taken together.
लग्ने शुक्रे मन्ददृष्टे श्रोणिभागे वैकल्यम् ।
lagne śukre mandadṛṣṭe śroṇibhāge vaikalyam |
Venus in the lagna, aspected by Saturn — deformity in the hip region (śroṇi).
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The printing reads शुक्र where मन्ददृष्टे requires the locative शुक्रे; read as the locative.
तुर्ये शुक्रे मन्दारज्ञान्यतमयुते जीवे करचरणकट्यन्यतमे वैकल्यम् ।
turye śukre mandārajñānyatamayute jīve karacaraṇakaṭyanyatame vaikalyam |
Venus in the fourth, and Jupiter joined with any one of Saturn, Mars or Mercury — deformity in one of the hands, feet or hips (kaṭi).
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: मन्दारज्ञान्यतमयुते agrees with जीवे, not with शुक्रे: it is Jupiter that carries the conjunction. The edition's English reads it the same way.
चन्द्रे खे भौमेऽस्ते मन्दे वेशिगे विकलाङ्गः।
candre khe bhaume'ste mande veśige vikalāṅgaḥ|
The Moon in the tenth, Mars in the seventh (asta), Saturn in veśi — the second from the Sun — deformed of limb.
सुताङ्के भौमे क्रूरैर्दृष्टे हीनाङ्गः ।
sutāṅke bhaume krūrairdṛṣṭe hīnāṅgaḥ |
Mars in the fifth (suta) or the ninth (aṅka), aspected by malefics — ⟨the native is⟩ deficient of a limb.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अङ्क is the number-word for nine and is this text's regular name for the 9th house — cf. षष्ठाङ्केशौ (B.130), रन्ध्राङ्केशौ (C.343), and बलाढ्याङ्के at C.59 below. सुताङ्के is therefore the pair 5th-and-9th, one or the other, not a single house. हीनाङ्ग (a limb missing) is kept distinct from विकलाङ्ग (a limb deformed).
मन्देऽर्थे खे चन्द्रे ज्ञेऽस्ते विकलाङ्गः।
mande'rthe khe candre jñe'ste vikalāṅgaḥ|
Saturn in the second (artha), the Moon in the tenth, Mercury in the seventh (asta) — deformed of limb.
नीचगा शुक्रेन्दुमन्दाः कुम्भेऽर्के विकलाङ्गः।
nīcagā śukrendumandāḥ kumbhe'rke vikalāṅgaḥ|
Venus, the Moon and Saturn gone to debilitation, the Sun in Aquarius — deformed of limb.
नीचे भौमे रक्तपित्तकोपः।
nīce bhaume raktapittakopaḥ|
Mars debilitated — an outbreak of raktapitta, the derangement of blood and bile.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: रक्तपित्त is left standing as the Āyurvedic disease-name it is; कोप is its aggravation or outbreak, not merely 'irritation'.
मन्दर्क्षे शुक्रे देहे दौर्गन्ध्यम् ।
mandarkṣe śukre dehe daurgandhyam |
Venus in a sign of Saturn — a foul smell in the body.
षष्ठेशे ज्ञर्क्षे वा नक्रे देहे दौर्गन्ध्यम् ।
ṣaṣṭheśe jñarkṣe vā nakre dehe daurgandhyam |
The lord of the sixth in a sign of Mercury, or in Capricorn (nakra) — a foul smell in the body.
ज्ञर्क्षे शुक्रे ज्ञयुते केन्द्रे देहे दौर्गन्ध्यम् ।
jñarkṣe śukre jñayute kendre dehe daurgandhyam |
Venus in a sign of Mercury, joined with Mercury, in a kendra — a foul smell in the body.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The three locatives ज्ञर्क्षे, ज्ञयुते and केन्द्रे all agree with शुक्रे; the edition's English attaches केन्द्रे to Mercury instead, which comes to the same placement since the two are conjunct.
मेषगे चन्द्रेऽङ्गे देहे दौर्गन्ध्यम् ।
meṣage candre'ṅge dehe daurgandhyam |
The Moon placed in Aries, ⟨that sign being⟩ the lagna (aṅga) — a foul smell in the body.
लग्नेशेऽन्त्ये पापयुतदृष्टे यष्ट्या चलति ।
lagneśe'ntye pāpayutadṛṣṭe yaṣṭyā calati |
The lord of the lagna in the twelfth (antya), joined with or aspected by malefics — ⟨the native⟩ walks with a staff.
चन्द्रज्ञौ भौमदृष्टौ विलज्जः।
candrajñau bhaumadṛṣṭau vilajjaḥ|
The Moon and Mercury aspected by Mars — ⟨the native is⟩ shameless.
क्षीणेन्दौ सारे त्रिके विलज्जः।
kṣīṇendau sāre trike vilajjaḥ|
The waning Moon, having Mars with it (sāra), in a trika ⟨the sixth, eighth or twelfth⟩ — shameless.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: सारे is स + आर, 'having Mars with it' — the same shorthand at C.117 and H.126 of this text. त्रिक is taken as the trio 6, 8, 12, with the edition's English.
ज्ञाच्छावङ्गे भौमेऽस्ते विलज्जः ।
jñācchāvaṅge bhaume'ste vilajjaḥ |
Mercury and Venus (accha) in the lagna, Mars in the seventh (asta) — shameless.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: ज्ञाच्छावङ्गे = ज्ञ + अच्छौ + अङ्गे; on अच्छ = Venus see the note at C.36.
जीवेऽङ्गे भौमदृष्टे विलज्जः ।
jīve'ṅge bhaumadṛṣṭe vilajjaḥ |
Jupiter in the lagna, aspected by Mars — shameless.
चन्द्रारौ द्यूने गुरुदृष्टौ सलज्जः।
candrārau dyūne gurudṛṣṭau salajjaḥ|
The Moon and Mars in the seventh (dyūna), aspected by Jupiter — ⟨the native is⟩ possessed of shame.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: सलज्ज is the exact counter-term to the विलज्ज of the four sūtras just before it; rendered so as to keep the pair visible.
ज्ञारयोगे कपटी।
jñārayoge kapaṭī|
In the conjunction of Mercury and Mars — ⟨the native is⟩ a cheat.
पापान्विते ज्ञे बलाढ्याङ्के कपटी।
pāpānvite jñe balāḍhyāṅke kapaṭī|
Mercury joined with malefics, in the ninth (aṅka) abounding in strength — a cheat.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: बलाढ्य is compounded with अङ्के and so qualifies the house, not Mercury; on अङ्क = the 9th see the note at C.44.
सोत्थे कुजे शुभदृग्घीने कपटी।
sotthe kuje śubhadṛgghīne kapaṭī|
Mars in the third (sottha), devoid of benefic aspect — a cheat.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: सोत्थ ('co-born', for सहज) is this text's name for the 3rd house, fixed by its own bhāva list at A.8: देह, धन, सोत्थ, मातृ, आत्मज, अरि, स्त्री, मृति, धर्म, कर्म, लाभ, व्यय, counted from the lagna.
सुखेशे वा भाग्येशे षष्ठे कपटी ।
sukheśe vā bhāgyeśe ṣaṣṭhe kapaṭī |
⟨If⟩ the lord of the 4th (sukha) or the lord of the 9th (bhāgya) is in the 6th, ⟨the native is⟩ deceitful.
मेषे ज्ञे कपटी।
meṣe jñe kapaṭī|
⟨If⟩ Mercury (jña) is in Meṣa ⟨Aries⟩, ⟨he is⟩ deceitful.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The sūtra names no bhāva at all — only the rāśi. The run 61–79 is about the 4th (the heart), so the placement may be meant in it, but the text does not say so and nothing has been supplied.
पापयुते वा पापदृष्टे सुखे कपटी ।
pāpayute vā pāpadṛṣṭe sukhe kapaṭī |
⟨If⟩ the 4th (sukha) is joined by a malefic or aspected by a malefic, ⟨he is⟩ deceitful.
पापान्तरे तुर्ये कपटी ।
pāpāntare turye kapaṭī |
⟨If⟩ the 4th (turya) stands between malefics (pāpāntara), ⟨he is⟩ deceitful.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: pāpāntara, literally 'in the interval of malefics' — the house flanked by malefics on either side, the pāpakartarī configuration.
कर्मपे वा रन्ध्रपे सुखे कपटी ।
karmape vā randhrape sukhe kapaṭī |
⟨If⟩ the lord of the 10th (karma) or the lord of the 8th (randhra) is in the 4th (sukha), ⟨he is⟩ deceitful.
शन्यारतमोन्यतमे पाताले हृत्कपटी ।
śanyāratamonyatame pātāle hṛtkapaṭī |
⟨If⟩ any one of Saturn (śani), Mars (āra) or Rāhu (tamas) is in the 4th (pātāla), ⟨he is⟩ deceitful at heart.
राहुमन्दारयोगे हृत्कपटी।
rāhumandārayoge hṛtkapaṭī|
In a conjunction (yoga) of Rāhu, Saturn (manda) and Mars (āra), ⟨he is⟩ deceitful at heart.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: rāhu-manda-āra-yoge is read as the conjunction of all three, following 66 which took them singly. It can also be read distributively — Rāhu joined with Saturn or with Mars. No bhāva is named.
सुखे स्वर्क्षोच्चगे शुभे निष्कपटी।
sukhe svarkṣoccage śubhe niṣkapaṭī|
⟨If⟩ a benefic in its own sign or in exaltation is in the 4th (sukha), ⟨he is⟩ without deceit.
सुखेशे बलाढ्ये निष्कपटी ।
sukheśe balāḍhye niṣkapaṭī |
⟨If⟩ the lord of the 4th (sukha) is rich in strength, ⟨he is⟩ without deceit.
तुर्ये शुभर्क्षे मित्रान्वितदृष्टे निष्कपटी।
turye śubharkṣe mitrānvitadṛṣṭe niṣkapaṭī|
⟨If⟩ the 4th (turya) is a benefic's sign and is joined and aspected by a friend, ⟨he is⟩ without deceit.
हृदयेशे गोपुराद्यंशे निष्कपटी ।
hṛdayeśe gopurādyaṃśe niṣkapaṭī |
⟨If⟩ the lord of the 4th (hṛdaya, the heart) is in the gopura aṃśa or one above it, ⟨he is⟩ without deceit.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: gopurādy-aṃśa: gopura is the fourth of the vaiśeṣikāṃśa grades (pārijāta, uttama, gopura, siṃhāsana, pārāvata …); 'ādi' takes it and the grades above it. hṛdaya, 'the heart', is the 4th house here, as pātāla and turya are in the neighbouring sūtras.
पाताले मृद्वंशादियुते निष्कपटी ।
pātāle mṛdvaṃśādiyute niṣkapaṭī |
⟨If⟩ the 4th (pātāla) is furnished with the mṛdu aṃśa and the rest, ⟨he is⟩ without deceit.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: mṛdvaṃśa = mṛdu + aṃśa. mṛdu ('mild') is NOT one of the vaiśeṣikāṃśa names this chapter uses in 71 and 75; it is the class-word of the dhruva / cara / ugra / kṣipra / mṛdu / tīkṣṇa / miśra series, applied here to a division. Rendered literally; in a single OCR exemplar the referent cannot be settled, and the reading of the akṣaras themselves is not beyond doubt.
लग्नेशेऽम्बुगे शुभयुतेक्षिते निष्कपटी ।
lagneśe'mbuge śubhayutekṣite niṣkapaṭī |
⟨If⟩ the lord of the lagna is in the 4th (ambu), joined with or aspected by a benefic, ⟨he is⟩ without deceit.
लग्नेशे बलाढ्ये निष्कपटी।
lagneśe balāḍhye niṣkapaṭī|
⟨If⟩ the lord of the lagna is rich in strength, ⟨he is⟩ without deceit.
लग्नपे पारावताद्यंशे निष्कपटी।
lagnape pārāvatādyaṃśe niṣkapaṭī|
⟨If⟩ the lord of the lagna is in the pārāvata aṃśa or one above it, ⟨he is⟩ without deceit.
लग्ने गुरौ शुक्रदृष्टे निष्कपटी।
lagne gurau śukradṛṣṭe niṣkapaṭī|
⟨If⟩ Jupiter is in the lagna and aspected by Venus, ⟨he is⟩ without deceit.
इन्द्वर्कौ तुर्ये क्षणमात्रं कपटी ऊर्ध्वं निष्कपटी ।
indvarkau turye kṣaṇamātraṃ kapaṭī ūrdhvaṃ niṣkapaṭī |
⟨If⟩ the Moon (indu) and the Sun (arka) are in the 4th (turya), ⟨he is⟩ deceitful for a moment only, and afterwards without deceit.
तुर्ये तमसि पापयुतदृष्टे बहिः शुद्धोऽन्तः कपटी ।
turye tamasi pāpayutadṛṣṭe bahiḥ śuddho'ntaḥ kapaṭī |
⟨If⟩ Rāhu (tamas) is in the 4th (turya), joined with and aspected by malefics, ⟨he is⟩ clean without ⟨and⟩ deceitful within.
तुर्ये बहुपापयुते दृष्टे पूर्ववत् ।
turye bahupāpayute dṛṣṭe pūrvavat |
⟨If⟩ the 4th (turya) is joined by many malefics ⟨and⟩ aspected ⟨by them⟩, ⟨the result is⟩ as before.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: pūrvavat, 'as before', points back to 78: clean outwardly, deceitful within.
रात्रौ बल्यारेऽङ्गे खे वा शूरः।
rātrau balyāre'ṅge khe vā śūraḥ|
⟨In a⟩ night ⟨birth⟩, ⟨if⟩ a strong Mars (āra) is in the lagna (aṅga) or the 10th (kha), ⟨he is⟩ brave.
भौमेऽस्ते बलवान् शूरश्च ।
bhaume'ste balavān śūraśca |
⟨If⟩ Mars (bhauma) is in the 7th (asta), ⟨he is⟩ strong and brave.
निर्बलारेणाङ्गे दृष्टे कातरः ।
nirbalāreṇāṅge dṛṣṭe kātaraḥ |
⟨If⟩ the lagna (aṅga) is aspected by a weak Mars (āra), ⟨he is⟩ a coward.
रात्रौ शनौ दशमे कातरः।
rātrau śanau daśame kātaraḥ|
⟨In a⟩ night ⟨birth⟩, ⟨if⟩ Saturn is in the 10th, ⟨he is⟩ a coward.
स्वर्क्षगे भौमदृष्टेऽङ्गे कातरः ।
svarkṣage bhaumadṛṣṭe'ṅge kātaraḥ |
⟨If⟩ the lagna (aṅga) is aspected by Mars (bhauma) standing in his own sign, ⟨he is⟩ a coward.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: svarkṣage is a separate locative, not compounded with bhaumadṛṣṭe, so the sūtra does not say WHOSE own sign is meant. English has to choose and takes it with Mars; the Hindi leaves the graha unnamed, as the Sanskrit does. The other live reading is '⟨the lagna lord⟩ being in his own sign, and the lagna aspected by Mars'. Note also that a Mars in his own sign is strong, which sits against 80–81, where a strong Mars gives bravery — that tension is in the text, not introduced here.
अंशाद्विक्रमे पापे शूरः शुभे कातरः।
aṃśādvikrame pāpe śūraḥ śubhe kātaraḥ|
⟨If⟩ a malefic is in the 3rd (vikrama) from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa lagna⟩, ⟨he is⟩ brave; ⟨if⟩ a benefic, a coward.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: aṃśāt is ablative — the 3rd counted from the aṃśa, i.e. from the navāṃśa ascendant, not from the rāśi lagna.
दिवाबल्यारे खेऽङ्गे क्रोधी ।
divābalyāre khe'ṅge krodhī |
⟨In a⟩ day ⟨birth⟩, ⟨if⟩ a strong Mars (āra) is in the 10th (kha) ⟨or⟩ the lagna (aṅga), ⟨he is⟩ prone to anger.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The disjunctive vā that 80 carries is absent here; the two locatives stand side by side and 'or' is supplied.
लग्नेऽस्ते वा निर्बलारे शनिदृष्टे क्रोधी।
lagne'ste vā nirbalāre śanidṛṣṭe krodhī|
⟨If⟩ a weak Mars (āra) is in the lagna or the 7th (asta) and is aspected by Saturn, ⟨he is⟩ prone to anger.
लग्ने भौमे क्रोधी।
lagne bhaume krodhī|
⟨If⟩ Mars (bhauma) is in the lagna, ⟨he is⟩ prone to anger.
द्यूने बलवति भौमे क्रोधी ।
dyūne balavati bhaume krodhī |
⟨If⟩ a strong Mars (bhauma) is in the 7th (dyūna), ⟨he is⟩ prone to anger.
त्रिकोणेऽल्पवीर्ये राशिपे क्रोधी ।
trikoṇe'lpavīrye rāśipe krodhī |
⟨If⟩ the lord of the ⟨lagna⟩ rāśi, of little strength, is in a trikoṇa, ⟨he is⟩ prone to anger.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: rāśipa, 'lord of the sign', is left unqualified in the sūtra; the lagna's own sign is the default subject through this run, and 'lagna' is supplied in angle brackets.
अन्त्याष्टमेऽङ्गेशे क्रोधी।
antyāṣṭame'ṅgeśe krodhī|
When the lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) is in the 12th (antya) or the 8th, ⟨the native is⟩ wrathful.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: antyāṣṭame is a single locative of the dvandva antya-aṣṭama; since one graha cannot hold two houses the sense is disjunctive — the 12th OR the 8th — and the edition's facing English reads 'in the 12th or 8th'.
धनेशे गुलिकान्विते क्रोधी ।
dhaneśe gulikānvite krodhī |
When the lord of the 2nd (dhana) is joined by Gulika, ⟨the native is⟩ wrathful.
केतुयुते सोत्थे कलहप्रियः ।
ketuyute sotthe kalahapriyaḥ |
When the 3rd (sottha) is joined by Ketu, ⟨the native is⟩ fond of quarrels.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: sottha (for sahottha, 'co-born') is this work's name for the 3rd house — it stands third in the work's own list of the twelve bhāvas at A.8 (deha, dhana, sottha, mātṛ …), and the edition renders this sūtra 'If Ketu occupy the 3rd house'.
कर्कालिझषेऽर्के भौमदृष्टे क्षमावान् ।
karkālijhaṣe'rke bhaumadṛṣṭe kṣamāvān |
When the Sun is in Cancer, Scorpio (ali) or Pisces (jhaṣa) and is aspected by Mars, ⟨the native is⟩ forgiving.
तुर्येशेऽङ्गे वा लग्नेशे तुर्ये क्षमावान् ।
turyeśe'ṅge vā lagneśe turye kṣamāvān |
When the lord of the 4th (turya) is in the 1st (aṅga), or the lord of the lagna is in the 4th, ⟨the native is⟩ forgiving.
सबले तुर्ये क्षमावान् ।
sabale turye kṣamāvān |
When the 4th (turya) is strong, ⟨the native is⟩ forgiving.
शुभे तुर्ये क्षमावान् ।
śubhe turye kṣamāvān |
When a benefic is in the 4th (turya), ⟨the native is⟩ forgiving.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: śubhe turye is two bare locatives and can be read either as 'a benefic being in the 4th' or, on the pattern of the preceding sūtra sabale turye, as 'the 4th being auspicious'. The edition resolves it the first way ('If a benefic planet occupy the 4th house') and the English follows it; the Hindi keeps both readings open.
शनिगृहे ज्ञारौ हास्यासक्तः।
śanigṛhe jñārau hāsyāsaktaḥ|
When Mercury and Mars are in a house of Saturn ⟨Capricorn or Aquarius⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ intent on mirth.
ज्ञेऽङ्गे चास्ते जीवे हास्यासक्तः ।
jñe'ṅge cāste jīve hāsyāsaktaḥ |
When Mercury is in the 1st (aṅga) and Jupiter in the 7th (asta), ⟨the native is⟩ intent on mirth.
ज्ञांशेऽङ्गे हास्यासक्तः ।
jñāṃśe'ṅge hāsyāsaktaḥ |
When the lagna is in Mercury's aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ intent on mirth.
सोत्थे भौमे ज्ञचन्द्रदृष्टे द्रोही ।
sotthe bhaume jñacandradṛṣṭe drohī |
When Mars is in the 3rd (sottha) and is aspected by Mercury and the Moon, ⟨the native is⟩ treacherous.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: sottha = the 3rd house, as at C.93 above.
लग्नेशे ज्ञे षष्ठे द्रोही।
lagneśe jñe ṣaṣṭhe drohī|
When the lord of the lagna, ⟨being⟩ Mercury, is in the 6th, ⟨the native is⟩ treacherous.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: lagneśe jñe ṣaṣṭhe: the two locatives lagneśe and jñe are in apposition — Mercury as lord of the lagna, which the sūtra presupposes a Gemini or Virgo lagna for. The edition reads it the same way ('If the lord of the Lagna be Mercury and he be posited in the 6th').
राह्वर्कजौ धर्मेऽंशाद्गुरुद्रोही ।
rāhvarkajau dharme'ṃśādgurudrohī |
When Rāhu and Saturn (arkaja) are in the 9th (dharma) from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa⟩, ⟨the native⟩ betrays his own preceptor.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: OCR: the file prints धर्मेऽशाद्, which cannot be construed. It is धर्मे + अंशाद् with the anusvāra dropped (dharme'ṃśād) — the same idiom aṃśād dharme, 'in the 9th from the aṃśa', stands unmutilated in this very chapter at C.124 and again at C.217 and R.27, and the edition's facing English reads 'in the 9th from the Navamsa'. The edition further glosses the bare aṃśa here as the navāṃśa occupied by the ātmakāraka; that identification is the editor's and is not in the sūtra, so it is not carried into the translation line. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads धर्मेऽंशाद्गुरुद्रोही; this sentence names धर्मेऽशाद्, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
लग्नेशे निर्बले द्रोही।
lagneśe nirbale drohī|
When the lord of the lagna is without strength, ⟨the native is⟩ treacherous.
अंशे केतौ चौरः।
aṃśe ketau cauraḥ|
When Ketu is in the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ a thief.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: aṃśe with no further qualification is a standing formula of this work (C.145, E.40, E.52, H.87, M.26 and others all open aṃśe ketau / aṃśe mande). The edition glosses it as the navāṃśa occupied by the ātmakāraka; the sūtra itself says only 'in the aṃśa', and the translation keeps to that.
अंशे गुलिके चौरः।
aṃśe gulike cauraḥ|
When Gulika is in the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ a thief.
तृतीयेऽन्त्येशे चौरः ।
tṛtīye'ntyeśe cauraḥ |
When the lord of the 12th (antya) is in the 3rd, ⟨the native is⟩ a thief.
सुखेशे षष्ठे चौरः।
sukheśe ṣaṣṭhe cauraḥ|
When the lord of the 4th (sukha) is in the 6th, ⟨the native is⟩ a thief.
धने रन्ध्रेशे चौरः।
dhane randhreśe cauraḥ|
When the lord of the 8th (randhra) is in the 2nd (dhana), ⟨the native is⟩ a thief.
रिपुगौ सबलौ ज्ञारौ चौरः।
ripugau sabalau jñārau cauraḥ|
When Mercury and Mars, both strong, occupy the 6th (ripu), ⟨the native is⟩ a thief.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: ripu here is the 6th house, not an enemy graha (GLOSSARY: ari/ripu/śatru — note which).
ज्ञारौ लग्ने चौरः।
jñārau lagne cauraḥ|
When Mercury and Mars are in the lagna, ⟨the native is⟩ a thief.
मृगे जीवेऽङ्गे रिःफे वा व्यसनी।
mṛge jīve'ṅge riḥphe vā vyasanī|
When Jupiter is in Capricorn (mṛga) ⟨and that sign is⟩ the 1st (aṅga) or the 12th (riḥpha), ⟨the native is⟩ addicted to vice.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: Two things stand on this sūtra. (i) VARIANT, printed by the edition itself immediately below the sūtra: 'Some books read हिबुके for रिःफे' — i.e. a reading that puts Jupiter's Capricorn in the 4th (hibuka) instead of the 12th. Our text prints riḥphe and the translation follows it. (ii) DIVERGENCE FROM THE EDITION'S OWN ENGLISH, which renders the apodosis 'will not be unlucky'. That is nirvyasanī; the Sanskrit prints vyasanī, unnegated, and the ground of the sūtra is Jupiter debilitated in Capricorn, which does not support a favourable result. The negative is a defect of the facing translation and is not carried over. Only one exemplar exists, so this is recorded, not adjudicated.
व्ययेशे नीचे व्यसनी।
vyayeśe nīce vyasanī|
When the lord of the 12th (vyaya) is debilitated, ⟨the native is⟩ addicted to vice.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: vyasanī, which runs through C.112–118, holds two senses at once — 'addicted to vice' (drink, gambling, women) and 'beset by calamity, unlucky'. The edition's facing English swings between them within these seven sūtras ('addicted to vice' at 113–114, 'unlucky' at 115–118). The English here settles on the first throughout, because the sūtras stand in a run of character-verdicts (wrathful, forgiving, mirthful, treacherous, thief); the Hindi keeps व्यसनी untranslated, where both senses stay alive.
अङ्गपे नीचे वाऽरिक्षेत्रे व्यसनी ।
aṅgape nīce vā'rikṣetre vyasanī |
When the lord of the 1st (aṅgapa) is debilitated, or is in an enemy's sign (arikṣetra), ⟨the native is⟩ addicted to vice.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: arikṣetra here is the graha's ENEMY SIGN, not the 6th house — ari carries both values in this corpus (GLOSSARY), and kṣetra fixes it to the sign.
व्यये पापे व्यसनी ।
vyaye pāpe vyasanī |
When a malefic is in the 12th (vyaya), ⟨the native is⟩ addicted to vice.
लग्नपे निर्बले व्यसनी ।
lagnape nirbale vyasanī |
When the lord of the lagna is without strength, ⟨the native is⟩ addicted to vice.
लग्नपे सारे व्यसनी ।
lagnape sāre vyasanī |
When the lord of the lagna is together with Mars (sa-āra), ⟨the native is⟩ addicted to vice.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: OCR, two akṣara-level defects in five words, and the claim turns on both. (i) लग्नये is no Sanskrit form; लग्नपे is meant, प misread as य — लग्नपे stands 19 times in this e-text against 2 of लग्नये, the other being Q.32 where the syntax likewise demands the lord of the lagna, and the edition reads 'the lord of the Lagna'. (ii) सारे is sa-āre, 'accompanied by Mars' (āra = Mars), the same sa- compound the work uses in sabale and sapāpe; the edition reads 'conjoined with Mars', and the identical सारे at C.54 is glossed there 'combined with Mars'. It is NOT सौरे, Saturn, which the shape of the printed word would otherwise suggest and which would have made this a claim about a different graha. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads लग्नपे; this sentence names लग्नये, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
अङ्गे पापदृष्ट्याधिक्ये व्यसनी ।
aṅge pāpadṛṣṭyādhikye vyasanī |
When malefic aspect on the 1st (aṅga) is in preponderance, ⟨the native is⟩ addicted to vice.
सबलेऽङ्गेशे निर्व्यसनी ।
sabale'ṅgeśe nirvyasanī |
When the lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) is strong, ⟨the native is⟩ free from vice.
लग्नेशे लग्ने वा व्यये शुभसम्बन्धे निर्व्यसनी।
lagneśe lagne vā vyaye śubhasambandhe nirvyasanī|
When the lord of the lagna, standing in connection with a benefic, is in the lagna or in the 12th (vyaya), ⟨the native is⟩ free from vice.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: śubhasambandhe is a locative agreeing with lagneśe and so qualifies the lord in both alternatives, not the 12th alone; the edition reads the same ('occupy the Lagna or the 12th and be related with a benefic'). The Hindi word order leaves the attachment as open as the Sanskrit does.
धर्मे शुभे निर्व्यसनी ।
dharme śubhe nirvyasanī |
⟨With⟩ a benefic in the 9th house (dharma), ⟨the native is⟩ free from vice.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: nirvyasanī is literally 'free from vyasana' — vice, addiction; vyasana also carries the sense of calamity, and the edition's own facing English takes it that way ('the person born will be lucky'). The run 118–122 pairs vyasanī / nirvyasanī, and 125–136 that follow are all about appetite, so the vice sense is read here. The Hindi keeps निर्व्यसनी, which holds both.
लग्नपे केन्द्रे निर्व्यसनी ।
lagnape kendre nirvyasanī |
⟨With⟩ the lord of the lagna in a kendra ⟨an angle: the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ free from vice.
अंशात् खे जीवार्कमात्रदृष्टे गोपालः।
aṃśāt khe jīvārkamātradṛṣṭe gopālaḥ|
⟨When the 10th⟩ from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa⟩ is aspected by Jupiter and the Sun only, ⟨the native is⟩ a cowherd (gopāla).
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: aṃśāt = 'from the aṃśa', i.e. reckoned from the navāṃśa; kha ('sky') is this text's name for the 10th, as at 137 and 143. mātra restricts the aspect to those two grahas and no other. The edition's facing English supplies 'the navāṃśa occupied by the ātmakāraka', which the Sanskrit does not say.
अंशाद्धर्मे जीवार्कावविश्वासी।
aṃśāddharme jīvārkāvaviśvāsī|
⟨With⟩ Jupiter and the Sun in the 9th from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ distrustful.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: aviśvāsī runs both ways — one who does not trust, and one in whom no trust can be placed. The Hindi अविश्वासी keeps both; English must choose, and the edition's facing English reads the first ('mistrusting, diffident'). Same unexpressed reckoning-point as 123.
उच्चगे वा नीचगे शुक्रे सिंहपूर्वार्द्धे त्रिके कामी ।
uccage vā nīcage śukre siṃhapūrvārddhe trike kāmī |
⟨With⟩ Venus exalted or debilitated, ⟨or⟩ in the first half of Leo, ⟨or⟩ in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ lustful.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The sūtra strings four placements with vā only between the first two; they are alternatives, and the edition's facing English reads them so. trika here = the 6th, 8th and 12th.
स्वांशे शुक्रे कामी ।
svāṃśe śukre kāmī |
⟨With⟩ Venus in its own aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ lustful.
पापदृष्टे शुक्रे कामी ।
pāpadṛṣṭe śukre kāmī |
⟨With⟩ Venus aspected by a malefic, ⟨the native is⟩ lustful.
युग्मे स्वर्क्षे वा शुक्रे कामी।
yugme svarkṣe vā śukre kāmī|
⟨With⟩ Venus in Gemini (yugma) or in its own sign, ⟨the native is⟩ lustful.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: yugma is both Gemini (the couple, the twins) and 'an even sign'; sūtras 139 and 141 use it in the second sense. Here it is paired with 'his own sign', a named placement, and the edition's facing English reads Mithuna. The Hindi keeps युग्म.
खाङ्गसुतेषु धनेशे कामी ।
khāṅgasuteṣu dhaneśe kāmī |
⟨With⟩ the lord of wealth ⟨the 2nd lord⟩ in the 10th (kha), the 1st (aṅga), or the 5th (suta), ⟨the native is⟩ lustful.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: SENSE SETTLED 2026-09-08; the akṣaras are not. The houses are the 10th, the 1st and the 5th, and that is now carried by two independent editions: the 1941's facing English, and the 1914 Śrīnivāsa Mahādeva Śarmā edition's Hindi bhāṣā-ṭīkā at ॥१२९॥, which reads धन (२) स्थान का स्वामी दशम १०, लग्न १, तथा पाँचवें ५ स्थान में (dli-406051_djvu.txt L3562-3563). The open question is the first akṣara. Our e-text prints स्वाङ्गसुतेषु; the 1914's Sanskrit line prints खाग, i.e. खाङ्गसुतेषु with ख = the 10th (dli-406051_djvu.txt L3552). This e-text is proven to confuse ख and स्व in BOTH directions — G.54's स्वेशे was corrected to खेशे on the 1941 plate on 2026-09-08, and A.72's खर्क्ष to स्वर्क्ष the same day — so the mūla is NOT changed here without a plate. Filed as a discrepancies[] row on this chapter. Reading स्व as 'own sign' instead would give the 2nd lord in its own sign, in the lagna, or in the 5th; both editions' glosses rule that out. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads खाङ्गसुतेषु; this sentence names स्वाङ्गसुतेषु, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
शनिर्धनुषि वृषे लग्नेऽल्पकामः ।
śanirdhanuṣi vṛṣe lagne'lpakāmaḥ |
⟨With⟩ Saturn in Sagittarius ⟨or⟩ in Taurus identical with the lagna, ⟨the native has⟩ little carnal desire.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The locatives allow two constructions and the edition prints both: (a) Saturn in Sagittarius or in Taurus, that sign being the lagna — rendered here; (b) Taurus rising with Saturn in Sagittarius, which the edition adds as an alternative reading.
शुक्रेऽस्तेऽतिकामुकः।
śukre'ste'tikāmukaḥ|
⟨With⟩ Venus in the 7th (asta, the place of setting), ⟨the native is⟩ excessively lustful.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: asta names the 7th house (the setting place) here and at 135, per the corpus glossary; it is not the graha's combustion.
भौमाच्छयुतौ जीवे चारीशे कामाधिक्यम् ।
bhaumācchayutau jīve cārīśe kāmādhikyam |
⟨With⟩ Mars and Venus (accha) conjoined, and Jupiter ⟨being⟩ the lord of the 6th (ari), ⟨there is⟩ excess of lust.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: accha is this text's epithet for Venus, fixed by its own sūtra A.50 — 'the Sun's enemies are manda and accha', i.e. Saturn and Venus. It recurs as manda-accha (Saturn and Venus) at 137, 143 and 146. cārīśe = ca + arīśe, 'and ⟨Jupiter being⟩ lord of the 6th'.
विषमोदयगे शुक्रेऽल्पवीर्यः।
viṣamodayage śukre'lpavīryaḥ|
⟨With⟩ Venus in an odd sign that is the rising sign, ⟨the native is⟩ of little virility.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: udaya = the rising sign (as at 150, kany-odaya, 'Virgo rising'), so viṣamodayaga is Venus in the lagna when the lagna is an odd sign; the edition's facing English reads it the same way.
तुर्ये चन्द्रशनी अल्पवीर्यः।
turye candraśanī alpavīryaḥ|
⟨With⟩ the Moon and Saturn in the 4th (turya), ⟨the native is⟩ of little virility.
शुक्रेऽस्तेऽङ्गेशदृष्टेऽल्पवीर्यः ।
śukre'ste'ṅgeśadṛṣṭe'lpavīryaḥ |
⟨With⟩ Venus in the 7th (asta) and aspected by the lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa), ⟨the native is⟩ of little virility.
शुक्रर्क्षे चन्द्रेऽल्पवीर्यः।
śukrarkṣe candre'lpavīryaḥ|
⟨With⟩ the Moon in a sign of Venus ⟨Taurus or Libra⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ of little virility.
मन्दाच्छौ खे रन्ध्रे वा शुभदृष्टिराहित्ये षण्ढः ।
mandācchau khe randhre vā śubhadṛṣṭirāhitye ṣaṇḍhaḥ |
⟨With⟩ Saturn and Venus (accha) in the 10th (kha) or in the 8th (randhra), in the absence of benefic aspect, ⟨the native is⟩ a eunuch (ṣaṇḍha).
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: manda-accha = Saturn and Venus; see the note at 132 for the identification of accha.
षष्ठान्त्ये जलर्क्षे मन्दे शुभदृग्घीने षण्ढः ।
ṣaṣṭhāntye jalarkṣe mande śubhadṛgghīne ṣaṇḍhaḥ |
⟨With⟩ Saturn in the 6th or the 12th (antya) in a watery sign, devoid of benefic aspect, ⟨the native is⟩ a eunuch.
चन्द्रार्कौ वा मन्दज्ञौ वा भौमार्कौ युग्मौजर्क्षगावन्योन्यं पश्यतः षण्ढः ।
candrārkau vā mandajñau vā bhaumārkau yugmaujarkṣagāvanyonyaṃ paśyataḥ ṣaṇḍhaḥ |
⟨If⟩ the Moon and the Sun, or Saturn and Mercury, or Mars and the Sun, standing in an even sign and an odd sign, aspect one another, ⟨the native is⟩ a eunuch.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The file prints भौमाकौं; the lost reph and the stray anusvāra are scanner damage for भौमार्कौ, bhaumārkau, 'Mars and the Sun', which is the pair the edition's facing English names. Three pairs, six grahas, and the Sun stands in two of them. yugma / oja here are 'even' and 'odd' sign, not Gemini. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भौमार्कौ; this sentence names भौमाकौं, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
ओजर्क्षाङ्गे समर्क्षगभौमेक्षितौ षण्ढः ।
ojarkṣāṅge samarkṣagabhaumekṣitau ṣaṇḍhaḥ |
⟨With⟩ the lagna in an odd sign, aspected by Mars standing in an even sign, ⟨the native is⟩ a eunuch.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: īkṣitau is dual but aṅge is a singular locative and no dual subject is expressed. The edition's facing English takes the aspect as falling on the lagna alone, and that is rendered here; the neighbouring 141 (Moon and Mercury) and 142 (Venus, Moon and lagna) are the likeliest source of the stray dual.
चन्द्रज्ञौ युग्मौजर्क्षगौ भौमेक्षितौ षण्ढः ।
candrajñau yugmaujarkṣagau bhaumekṣitau ṣaṇḍhaḥ |
⟨With⟩ the Moon and Mercury standing in an even sign and an odd sign and aspected by Mars, ⟨the native is⟩ a eunuch.
पुम्भागे सितेन्द्वङ्गानि षण्ढः ।
pumbhāge sitendvaṅgāni ṣaṇḍhaḥ |
⟨With⟩ Venus, the Moon and the lagna in a male portion (puṃbhāga), ⟨the native is⟩ a eunuch.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: bhāga is a division of a sign; the edition's facing English takes it as the navāṃśa — 'navāṃśas belonging to odd signs'. The Sanskrit says only 'male portion', and the Hindi keeps पुंभाग.
मन्दाच्छौ खे षण्ढः ।
mandācchau khe ṣaṇḍhaḥ |
⟨With⟩ Saturn and Venus (accha) in the 10th (kha), ⟨the native is⟩ a eunuch.
शुक्रात् षष्ठेऽष्टमे मन्दे षण्ढो वा तादृशः ।
śukrāt ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame mande ṣaṇḍho vā tādṛśaḥ |
⟨With⟩ Saturn in the 6th or the 8th from Venus, ⟨the native is⟩ a eunuch, or one like him.
अंशे केतौ मन्दज्ञदृष्टे षण्ढः ।
aṃśe ketau mandajñadṛṣṭe ṣaṇḍhaḥ |
⟨With⟩ Ketu in the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa⟩ and aspected by Saturn and Mercury, ⟨the native is⟩ a eunuch.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: aṃśe is unqualified. The edition's facing English supplies 'the Navāṃśa Rāśi occupied by the ātmakāraka', the same supplement it makes at 123 and 124; the Sanskrit does not carry it.
मन्दाच्छौ शुभदृग्घीनौ रन्ध्रगौ षण्ढः ।
mandācchau śubhadṛgghīnau randhragau ṣaṇḍhaḥ |
⟨With⟩ Saturn and Venus (accha), devoid of benefic aspect, standing in the 8th (randhra), ⟨the native is⟩ a eunuch.
षष्ठान्त्ये नीचगे मन्दे षण्ढः ।
ṣaṣṭhāntye nīcage mande ṣaṇḍhaḥ |
⟨With⟩ Saturn debilitated in the 6th or the 12th (antya), ⟨the native is⟩ a eunuch.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: nīcaga and the house-locative together: Saturn's debilitation sign is Aries, and the sūtra asks that it also fall in the 6th or 12th — the edition's facing English reads 'the 6th or 12th identical with his depression sign'.
राहौ शुक्रेऽर्कजे वोच्चगे कर्केऽर्के मेषे चन्द्रे वीर्यच्युतिः।
rāhau śukre'rkaje voccage karke'rke meṣe candre vīryacyutiḥ|
⟨With⟩ Rāhu, Venus, or Saturn (arkaja) exalted, the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Aries, ⟨there is⟩ loss of virility.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: vīryacyuti is literally 'the falling away of vīrya' — virile power, and equally semen; the Hindi keeps वीर्यच्युति, which holds both. vā stands after arkaje and governs the three grahas named before it, not the sign placements that follow.
लग्ने चन्द्रे गुर्वर्कजौ सुते वीर्यच्युतिः ।
lagne candre gurvarkajau sute vīryacyutiḥ |
⟨With⟩ the Moon in the lagna and Jupiter and Saturn (arkaja) in the 5th (suta), ⟨there is⟩ loss of virility.
कन्योदये मन्दज्ञदृष्टे मन्दर्क्षे शुक्रे वीर्यच्युतिः ।
kanyodaye mandajñadṛṣṭe mandarkṣe śukre vīryacyutiḥ |
⟨With⟩ Virgo rising and aspected by Saturn and Mercury, and Venus in a sign of Saturn ⟨Capricorn or Aquarius⟩, ⟨there is⟩ loss of virility.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: mandajñadṛṣṭe is a singular locative agreeing with kanyodaye, so the aspect of Saturn and Mercury falls on the rising sign, not on Venus; the edition's facing English reads it the same way.
इज्येऽङ्गे कुजेऽस्ते उन्मादी ।
ijye'ṅge kuje'ste unmādī |
Jupiter in the 1st house and Mars in the 7th — ⟨the native is⟩ insane.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: aṅga (limb) = the 1st house/lagna; asta (the setting place) = the 7th house, per the glossary. ijya = Jupiter, kuja = Mars. Sūtra 155 states the same yoga again with the epithets bhauma and jīva.
लग्ने शनौ मन्दत्रिके कुजे उन्मादी ।
lagne śanau mandatrike kuje unmādī |
Saturn in the lagna and Mars in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ from Saturn — ⟨the native is⟩ insane.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: mandatrike is read manda-trike, 'in a trika house reckoned from Saturn' — trika being the standard 6th/8th/12th group; since Saturn is in the lagna the two reckonings coincide. A reading 'in Saturn's trikoṇa' (5th/9th) cannot be excluded from the bare sūtra, but trika and trikoṇa are kept distinct elsewhere in this chapter (cf. 153, which says koṇa).
मन्देऽङ्गे व्ययेऽर्के कोणे चन्द्रे वा भौमे उन्मादी ।
mande'ṅge vyaye'rke koṇe candre vā bhaume unmādī |
Saturn in the 1st house, the Sun in the 12th, and the Moon or Mars in a trikoṇa — ⟨the native is⟩ insane.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: vyaya = the 12th house; koṇa here = trikoṇa (the trine).
मूढे नीचे षष्ठे सोत्थेशे पापदृष्टे गरलज उन्मादः।
mūḍhe nīce ṣaṣṭhe sottheśe pāpadṛṣṭe garalaja unmādaḥ|
The lord of the 3rd (sottheśa) combust (mūḍha), debilitated, or in the 6th house, and aspected by malefics — insanity born of poison.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08, twice over. (1) सोत्थेश is the lord of the THIRD house, not 'the lord of the rising sign'. सोत्थ (sottha, sa-uttha 'arisen together') is this text's own name for the THIRD house. The book defines it at A.8, which lists the twelve bhāvas in order — देह · धन · सोत्थ · मातृ · आत्मज · अरि · स्त्री · मृति · धर्म · कर्म · लाभ · व्यय — so सोत्थ stands third. R.68's and K.120's own notes already say so in terms. (2) The sūtra was construed as having no subject, with सोत्थेशे read as a companion ('joined with the lagna lord'); in fact सोत्थेशे is the subject of all four locatives — the 3rd lord is what is combust, debilitated or in the 6th. mūḍha is the technical term for a combust graha; garala = poison, so this opens the aetiological set (cf. 157 vāta, 158 the king's wrath, 159 pitta). Cross-corpus: `node scripts/corpus/revisions.mjs --word सोत्थ` finds 123 verses whose mūla carries the word, 24 of them outside this book (jataka-parijata 12.25/12.28/12.45, prashna-marga 14.67, sarvartha-chintamani 1.136/2.25/2.97/4.4/4.12/4.19/4.20/4.24/4.28/4.46/4.48/7.43/12.79/16.72, uttara-kalamrita 6.24) — and our own corpus renders every one of them 'the 3rd'. Jātaka Tattva was the only text in the corpus that did not know what the word means.
भौमेऽस्ते जीवेऽङ्गे उन्मादी ।
bhaume'ste jīve'ṅge unmādī |
Mars in the 7th house and Jupiter in the 1st — ⟨the native is⟩ insane.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The same configuration as 151, restated with the epithets bhauma and jīva in place of kuja and ijya. Both are kept as printed.
क्षीणेन्द्वर्कजावन्त्ये उन्मादी।
kṣīṇendvarkajāvantye unmādī|
The waning Moon and Saturn in the 12th house — ⟨the native is⟩ insane.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: antya, 'the last', = the 12th house; arkaja (the Sun's son) = Saturn. kṣīṇa-indu is the waning/weak Moon.
मन्दार्थेशौ सपापौ वातज उन्मादः।
mandārtheśau sapāpau vātaja unmādaḥ|
Saturn and the lord of the 2nd house, both joined with malefics — insanity born of wind (vāta).
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: artha (wealth) = the 2nd house, as dhana and kośa elsewhere in this run. The printed बातज is the OCR's b/v confusion for वातज, vātaja — the humour of wind; the sense is not in doubt. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads वातज; this sentence names बातज, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
धनेशार्कजौ सूर्ययुतौ राजकोपज उन्मादः।
dhaneśārkajau sūryayutau rājakopaja unmādaḥ|
The lord of the 2nd house and Saturn joined with the Sun — insanity arising from the king's wrath.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: rājakopaja: caused by the anger of the king — a madness of external affliction, not of the humours.
यमार्थेशौ भौमयुतौ पित्तज उन्मादः।
yamārtheśau bhaumayutau pittaja unmādaḥ|
Saturn and the lord of the 2nd house joined with Mars — insanity born of bile (pitta).
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: yama (Death) is here an epithet of Saturn, as its pairing with artheśa in 157 shows.
चन्द्रार्कौ कोणाङ्गगौ केन्द्रे जीवे यमारक्षणवारे उन्मादः।
candrārkau koṇāṅgagau kendre jīve yamārakṣaṇavāre unmādaḥ|
The Moon and the Sun in a trikoṇa and in the 1st house, Jupiter in a kendra, ⟨and the birth⟩ in the hour and on the weekday of Saturn and Mars — insanity.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: koṇāṅgagau is dual: one of the two luminaries in a trikoṇa, the other in the lagna. यमारक्षणवारे is the doubtful word: read yama-āra-kṣaṇa-vāre, 'in the moment (horā) and on the weekday of Saturn and Mars'. It may equally be an OCR of यमारर्क्षवारे, 'in the ṛkṣa (asterism/sign) and on the weekday of Saturn and Mars' — the chapter uses °ऋक्षे in 179 and 180. Either way the condition is a birth-time ruled by Saturn and Mars; the rest of the sūtra is clear.
इन्द्वर्कजौ लग्नगज्ञदृष्टौ विह्वलः ।
indvarkajau lagnagajñadṛṣṭau vihvalaḥ |
The Moon and Saturn aspected by Mercury placed in the lagna — ⟨the native is⟩ distraught.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: इन्द्रर्कजौ is read इन्द्वर्कजौ, indu-arkajau, 'the Moon and Saturn' — indra yields no graha, and 156 has the same pair as क्षीणेन्द्वर्कजौ. jña = Mercury. vihvala is agitation and being overwhelmed, one degree short of the unmāda of the preceding sūtras. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads इन्द्वर्कजौ; this sentence names इन्द्रर्कजौ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
धने केतौ शीघ्रं वार्धक्यचिह्नोदयः ।
dhane ketau śīghraṃ vārdhakyacihnodayaḥ |
Ketu in the 2nd house — the marks of old age appear early.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: This sūtra opens the ageing set (162–165) before the eating set begins at 166.
राह्वर्कजार्केज्या लग्नगा प्रकृतिवृद्धः।
rāhvarkajārkejyā lagnagā prakṛtivṛddhaḥ|
Rāhu, Saturn, the Sun and Jupiter placed in the lagna — ⟨the native is⟩ aged by nature.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: राह्वर्कजार्केज्या = rāhu + arkaja (Saturn) + arka (the Sun) + ijyā (Jupiter), all in the plural with lagnagāḥ. prakṛti-vṛddha: old in constitution, aged from the start.
चन्द्राच्छौ लग्ने नातिवृद्धो न युवा ।
candrācchau lagne nātivṛddho na yuvā |
The Moon and Venus (accha) in the lagna — ⟨he is⟩ neither very old nor young.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08. चन्द्राच्छौ is candra + accha, the Moon and Venus. The earlier note emended it to चन्द्रज्ञौ ('the Moon and Mercury') on the ground that accha names no graha; it does. अच्छ (accha) is this text's own name for VENUS. The book defines it six times in section A: A.37 मन्दज्ञौ क्लीबौ चन्द्राच्छौ स्त्रियौ (Saturn and Mercury neuter, the Moon and X female — X is Venus), A.38 ज्ञाच्छौ राजसौ, A.50 सूर्यस्य मन्दाच्छौ रिपू, A.54 जीवस्य ज्ञाच्छावरी, A.56 मन्दस्य ज्ञाच्छौ सुहृदौ, A.65 चन्द्राच्छौ सजलौ. Six standard tables, one answer, and our own file already renders all six with Venus. It is what the printing sets, not a scanner ghost. Two independent machine readings of the printed Devanāgarī confirm the akṣaras: the 1914 Śrīnivāsa Mahādeva Śarmā exemplar (a different editor, press and decade) prints चन्द्राच्छौ at its ॥३६॥ = our A.37 (sharma-1914-hindi__dli-406051_djvu.txt L1427), and dli496259_djvu.txt — an OCR of the 1941 sheets independent of the ebharati e-text every mūla here stands on — prints चन्द्राच्छो at R.67 (L21469), जीबाच्छो/इज्याच्छो at P.9–P.10 (L20161, L20169) and मन्दाच्छौ four times (L31673–31677). The 1941 plate at page index 168 (printed 161, head [G 54—61]) sets जीवाच्छौ at ५८ and ५९ and englishes them 'Jupiter or Venus' and 'Jupiter and Venus'.
सबले भौमे लाभे वृद्धोऽपि तरुणायते ।
sabale bhaume lābhe vṛddho'pi taruṇāyate |
Mars strong in the 11th house — even when old he carries himself like a young man.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: lābha = the 11th house. taruṇāyate: he acts the youth, behaves as a young man.
खे सुखेशे रसायनव्यसनी ।
khe sukheśe rasāyanavyasanī |
The lord of the 4th house in the 10th — addicted to rasāyana ⟨elixirs⟩.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: kha (the sky) = the 10th house; sukha = the 4th. vyasanin is addiction, not mere fondness — rasāyana is the alchemical/rejuvenative preparation.
सुखेशे विबले रसायनव्यसनी ।
sukheśe vibale rasāyanavyasanī |
The lord of the 4th house weak — addicted to rasāyana ⟨elixirs⟩.
सपापेऽर्थेशे बहुभुक् ।
sapāpe'rtheśe bahubhuk |
The lord of the 2nd house with a malefic — he eats much.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: bahubhuk begins the eating set (168–180), which runs: much (168–169), in comfort (170–174), on funeral food (175), little (176), quickly (177–179), slowly (180).
सपापेऽर्थे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे बहुभुक् ।
sapāpe'rthe krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe bahubhuk |
A malefic in the 2nd house, in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa — he eats much.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: ṣaṣṭyaṃśa is the sixtieth-part division, whose sixty names this book gives at A.22; krūra is rendered 'malefic' per the glossary, never 'cruel'.
सशुभे धनेशे सुखभुक् ।
saśubhe dhaneśe sukhabhuk |
The lord of the 2nd house with a benefic — he eats in comfort.
धने शुभे पापदृग्घीने सुखभुक् ।
dhane śubhe pāpadṛgghīne sukhabhuk |
A benefic in the 2nd house and no malefic aspecting it — he eats in comfort.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: पापग्धीने is the printing's misreading of पापगहीने, pāpaga-hīne, 'devoid of malefic occupants'; the ग्ध conjunct is not a possible word here. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पापदृग्घीने; this sentence names पापग्धीने, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
धने शुभदृष्ट्याधिक्ये सुखभुक् ।
dhane śubhadṛṣṭyādhikye sukhabhuk |
The 2nd house with a preponderance of benefic aspects — he eats in comfort.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: ādhikya is weight of number: more benefic aspects than malefic, not merely the presence of one.
धनेशे बलवति सुखभुक् ।
dhaneśe balavati sukhabhuk |
The lord of the 2nd house strong — he eats in comfort.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: Printed सुखभूक् with a long ū; the word is sukhabhuk, as in 170–172 and 174. Kept as printed in the mūla, read short here. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads सुखभुक् for सुखभूक्, corrected in the mūla verification of 2026-09-20 (see the revisions row of that pass on this verse); this note describes the earlier text.]
वैशेषिकांशेऽर्थेशे वा गुरुदृष्टे सुखभुक् ।
vaiśeṣikāṃśe'rtheśe vā gurudṛṣṭe sukhabhuk |
The lord of the 2nd house in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, or aspected by Jupiter — he eats in comfort.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: vaiśeṣikāṃśa: the graded 'distinguished divisions' (pārijāta, uttama, gopura and the rest), reckoned by how many vargas find the graha in its own or exalted sign. The term is kept untranslated.
धनेशे मन्दे नीचगे गुलिकयुते सततं श्राद्धभुक् ।
dhaneśe mande nīcage gulikayute satataṃ śrāddhabhuk |
The lord of the 2nd house ⟨being⟩ Saturn, debilitated and joined with Gulika — he constantly eats śrāddha food ⟨the food of funeral rites⟩.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: Gulika is the upagraha (Saturn's sub-period point), kept untranslated. The verdict is not softened: living off the food offered at funeral rites is a statement of low condition, and the text says satatam, constantly.
धनेशे शुभे वा स्वोच्चे शुभदृष्टेऽल्पाशी ।
dhaneśe śubhe vā svocce śubhadṛṣṭe'lpāśī |
The lord of the 2nd house ⟨being⟩ a benefic, or in its exaltation, aspected by benefics — he eats little.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: svocca is literally 'own exaltation'; alpāśin is one who eats little.
सबलेऽर्थेशे सशुभे शीघ्रभुक् ।
sabale'rtheśe saśubhe śīghrabhuk |
The lord of the 2nd house strong and with a benefic — he eats quickly.
धनेशे चरभे शीघ्रभुक् ।
dhaneśe carabhe śīghrabhuk |
The lord of the 2nd house in a movable sign — he eats quickly.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: carabha = cara-rāśi, a movable (cardinal) sign.
धने शुभर्क्षे शुभदृष्टे शीघ्रभुक् ।
dhane śubharkṣe śubhadṛṣṭe śīghrabhuk |
The 2nd house in a benefic's sign and aspected by benefics — he eats quickly.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: śubharkṣa = a sign owned by a benefic (ṛkṣa here is the rāśi, not the nakṣatra, as the parallel with 180 shows).
कोशे पापर्क्षे पापयुतदृष्टे चिरभुक् ।
kośe pāparkṣe pāpayutadṛṣṭe cirabhuk |
The 2nd house ⟨the treasury⟩ in a malefic's sign, joined with and aspected by malefics — he eats slowly.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: kośa, the treasury, = the 2nd house — the fourth synonym for it in this run (dhana, artha, kośa, and the plain ordinal). cirabhuk: he is long over his food.
धनेशे स्थिरर्क्षे चिरभुक् ।
dhaneśe sthirarkṣe cirabhuk |
The lord of the 2nd (dhana) in a fixed sign — ⟨the native is⟩ a long eater, one who lingers over his food.
गुलिकारयोगे कदन्नभुक् ।
gulikārayoge kadannabhuk |
In the conjunction of Gulika and Mars (āra) — an eater of bad food.
लग्ने जीवे भोजनशूरः।
lagne jīve bhojanaśūraḥ|
Jupiter (jīva) in the ascendant (lagna) — a hero at eating ⟨a mighty eater⟩.
भ्रातृपे बलिनि केन्द्रकोणगे सौम्यदृष्टे वैशेषिकांशे धीरः।
bhrātṛpe balini kendrakoṇage saumyadṛṣṭe vaiśeṣikāṃśe dhīraḥ|
The lord of the 3rd (bhrātṛ, the house of brothers) strong, placed in a kendra or a trikoṇa, aspected by a benefic, and in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa ⟨one of the special varga-dignities⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ brave.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: vaiśeṣikāṃśa is kept as a term: the dignity a graha earns by occupying its own or friendly divisions in a number of vargas (pārijātāṃśa, uttamāṃśa and the rest). saumya is read as 'benefic', not as Mercury, because the clause is about aspect on a strong house-lord.
विक्रमेशे शुभर्क्षांशे शुभदृष्टयुते धीरः।
vikrameśe śubharkṣāṃśe śubhadṛṣṭayute dhīraḥ|
The lord of the 3rd (vikrama, the house of valour) in an auspicious sign and an auspicious aṃśa, aspected by or joined with benefics — brave.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The printed शुभर्क्षाँशे carries a candrabindu where an anusvāra belongs (OCR at the akṣara level, as the edition profile warns); the word is śubha-ṛkṣa-aṃśe, and the sense is not in doubt. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुभर्क्षांशे; this sentence names शुभर्क्षाँशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
विक्रमार्केशयोगे धीरः।
vikramārkeśayoge dhīraḥ|
In a conjunction of the lord of the 3rd with the Sun — steadfast.

- About this edition: Two readings are carried here. (1) The compound vikrama-arka-īśa shares one īśa across a dvandva, exactly as ṣaṣṭha-aṅga-īśau does in sūtra 204; the lord of the Sun's own sign is the Sun itself, so the yoga is the 3rd lord with the Sun. (2) The predicate is printed धरिः (dhariḥ), which is not a standard word and stands one akṣara from धीरः (dhīraḥ, 'brave'), the predicate of both neighbouring sūtras 185 and 187. It is rendered here from √dhṛ as 'steadfast', which holds the printed form and the probable one together; the plate is where this gets settled. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads धीरः; this sentence names dhariḥ and धरिः, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]
सोत्थेशेन्दुयोगे धीरः ।
sottheśenduyoge dhīraḥ |
In a conjunction of the lord of the 3rd (sahottha, the co-born house) with the Moon (indu) — brave.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: सोत्थ is read as सहोत्थ ('arisen together', a synonym of sahaja) = the 3rd house, the ह having dropped in the OCR. The run 184–187 supports it: every one of these four sūtras conditions dhīra on the 3rd house or its lord.
सुतेऽङ्गेशे पिशुनः।
sute'ṅgeśe piśunaḥ|
The lord of the ascendant (aṅga) in the 5th (suta) — a slanderer, a backbiter.
पापेऽङ्गेशे पिशुनः।
pāpe'ṅgeśe piśunaḥ|
The lord of the ascendant in a malefic's ⟨sign⟩ — a slanderer.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: पापे is taken as a locative of place ('in a malefic's sign'), not as conjunction: this text states conjunction with sa- (सशुभे, सपापे in 199–200) or with yuta, so the bare locative here parallels सुते in 188.
पापदृष्ट्यधिकेऽङ्गे पिशुनः ।
pāpadṛṣṭyadhike'ṅge piśunaḥ |
The ascendant carrying malefic aspect in excess — a slanderer.
पापदृष्टे जीवे सतमसि चाण्डालता।
pāpadṛṣṭe jīve satamasi cāṇḍālatā|
Jupiter aspected by malefics and joined with Rāhu (tamas) — the condition of a cāṇḍāla ⟨an outcaste⟩.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: tamas = Rāhu; the same text fixes it at sūtra 206, where शन्यारतमस् enumerates Saturn, Mars and Rāhu.
नीचभांशे जीवे चाण्डालता ।
nīcabhāṃśe jīve cāṇḍālatā |
Jupiter in a sign and an aṃśa of debilitation — the condition of a cāṇḍāla.
ग्रस्ते चन्द्रेऽङ्गे पापाः कोणे पिशाचजनिः।
graste candre'ṅge pāpāḥ koṇe piśācajaniḥ|
The Moon eclipsed, malefics in the ascendant and in a trikoṇa — birth as a piśāca ⟨a goblin-natured birth⟩.
केन्द्रे मन्दे ज्ञयुते शिल्पी ।
kendre mande jñayute śilpī |
Saturn (manda) in a kendra joined with Mercury (jña) — an artisan (śilpī).
सबले ज्ञे केन्द्रे शिल्पी।
sabale jñe kendre śilpī|
Mercury strong in a kendra — an artisan.
इज्यज्ञयोगे शिल्पी ।
ijyajñayoge śilpī |
In the conjunction of Jupiter (ijya) and Mercury — an artisan.
ज्ञेज्यौ त्रिके उपदेशप्रियः।
jñejyau trike upadeśapriyaḥ|
Mercury and Jupiter in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — fond of ⟨giving⟩ instruction.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: trika = the 6th, 8th and 12th, as sūtra 207 uses it. upadeśa-priya is two-way — fond of giving instruction, or of receiving it (upadeśa is also initiation); the English has to choose and the Hindi does not, so उपदेशप्रिय is left standing there.
षष्ठेशे जीवे शुक्रे वा मधुरादिप्रियः।
ṣaṣṭheśe jīve śukre vā madhurādipriyaḥ|
The lord of the 6th being Jupiter or Venus — fond of sweets and the like.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: Read as identification ('the 6th lord being Jupiter or Venus'). The locative could also be read as place — the 6th lord in the sign of Jupiter or of Venus — but the 6th is this text's house of food, and 199–200 immediately turn on taste, which favours the identification.
सशुभे ज्ञे मधुरप्रियः।
saśubhe jñe madhurapriyaḥ|
Mercury joined with a benefic — fond of sweets.
सपापे ज्ञे मधुरेऽरुचिः ।
sapāpe jñe madhure'ruciḥ |
Mercury joined with a malefic — no taste for sweets.
लग्नेऽर्कजत्र्यंशे केन्द्रगचन्द्रदृष्टे नीचकर्मा ।
lagne'rkajatryaṃśe kendragacandradṛṣṭe nīcakarmā |
The ascendant in a tryaṃśa ⟨drekkāṇa⟩ of Saturn (arkaja) and aspected by the Moon placed in a kendra — a doer of base deeds.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: tryaṃśa = the third part = the drekkāṇa; sūtra 203 lists it (as vyaṃśa) beside the navāṃśa and the triṃśāṃśa.
द्यूनेऽर्के लग्ने मन्दे पुण्ये सोत्थे भौमे श्रेष्ठवर्णोऽपि नीचपथगः।
dyūne'rke lagne mande puṇye sotthe bhaume śreṣṭhavarṇo'pi nīcapathagaḥ|
The Sun in the 7th (dyūna), Saturn in the ascendant, Mars in the 9th (puṇya) ⟨or⟩ the 3rd — though of the highest varṇa, he walks the low path.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The third clause prints two locatives of place, पुण्ये and सोत्थे, for a single Mars, so 'or' is supplied. सोत्थ is read as the 3rd house, as at 187. Two other readings are possible and neither can be settled off the plate: स्वोत्थे ('in its own sign', one dropped akṣara away), which would make it Mars in the 9th in its own sign; or सोत्थे as sa-uttha, 'risen together with', making it Mars conjoined with the 9th ⟨lord⟩. The verdict clause is unaffected either way.
मन्दार्कावेकर्क्षगौ त्र्यंशे नवांशे त्रिंशांशे वा नीचयोषानुषङ्गान्म्लेच्छो भवति ।
mandārkāvekarkṣagau tryaṃśe navāṃśe triṃśāṃśe vā nīcayoṣānuṣaṅgānmleccho bhavati |
Saturn and the Sun gone to one and the same sign — or to the same tryaṃśa ⟨drekkāṇa⟩, navāṃśa or triṃśāṃśa — through attachment to a low-born woman he becomes a mleccha ⟨a barbarian, outside the fold⟩.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: 'the same' is supplied in the division-clause: ekarkṣagau governs the sign, and the three divisions that follow are alternative ways of counting the same togetherness. The caste-claim is rendered at its printed weight.
षष्ठाङ्गेशौ लग्नगौ ज्ञातिपीडा।
ṣaṣṭhāṅgeśau lagnagau jñātipīḍā|
The lords of the 6th and of the ascendant (aṅga) both placed in the ascendant — harm to kinsmen (jñāti).
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: jñāti-pīḍā is two-way — harm to kinsmen, or harm from them. The English resolves it as 'to' throughout 204–206; the Hindi keeps ज्ञातिपीडा, which does not have to choose.
लग्नेशे षष्ठे षष्ठेशदृष्टे ज्ञातिपीडा ।
lagneśe ṣaṣṭhe ṣaṣṭheśadṛṣṭe jñātipīḍā |
The lord of the ascendant in the 6th and aspected by the lord of the 6th — harm to kinsmen.
शुक्रेज्यौ लग्ने षष्ठेशयुतौ शन्यारतमोदृष्टौ ज्ञातिपीडा ।
śukrejyau lagne ṣaṣṭheśayutau śanyāratamodṛṣṭau jñātipīḍā |
Venus and Jupiter in the ascendant joined with the lord of the 6th and aspected by Saturn, Mars (āra) and Rāhu (tamas) — harm to kinsmen.
लग्नेशाद्वा लग्नात् त्रिकगैः पापैर्जातिच्युतिः।
lagneśādvā lagnāt trikagaiḥ pāpairjāticyutiḥ|
By malefics placed in the trikas ⟨the 6th, 8th and 12th⟩ from the ascendant, or from the lord of the ascendant — loss of caste.
ज्ञेन्द्वर्कजा नीचारिभगा जातिच्युतिः ।
jñendvarkajā nīcāribhagā jāticyutiḥ |
Mercury, the Moon and Saturn (arkaja) gone to signs of debilitation or of an enemy — loss of caste.
इन्द्वर्कजौ मित्रर्क्षे जातिपोष्यः ।
indvarkajau mitrarkṣe jātipoṣyaḥ |
The Moon and Saturn in a friend's sign — ⟨he is⟩ maintained by his caste-fellows.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: jāti-poṣya, a gerundive: 'to be nourished by the jāti'. It could also be turned the other way — one whose kinsmen are his to maintain — and the Hindi जातिपोष्य keeps both, where the English had to pick the passive sense the gerundive most naturally carries.
लाभेशेऽङ्गे कौतुकी ।
lābheśe'ṅge kautukī |
The lord of the 11th (lābha) in the ascendant — full of curiosity, eager for novelty.
लाभेशे शुभे वा सबले कौतुकी ।
lābheśe śubhe vā sabale kautukī |
The lord of the 11th (lābha) being a benefic, or strong — ⟨the native is⟩ kautukī, eager for novelties and fond of festivity.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: lābheśa = lord of the 11th (āya/lābha, glossary). śubhe and sabale are taken adjectivally with lābheśe ('benefic, or strong'); they can also be read as two separate conditions, 'the lord of the 11th, or a benefic, being strong'. kautukī spans curiosity, eagerness for what is new, and fondness for shows and festivals; English has no single word for it.
लाभे शुभे कौतुकी ।
lābhe śubhe kautukī |
A benefic in the 11th (lābha) — ⟨the native is⟩ kautukī, eager for novelties and fond of festivity.
इज्यमन्दयोगे अलसः।
ijyamandayoge alasaḥ|
Jupiter (ijya) and Saturn (manda) in conjunction — ⟨the native is⟩ lazy.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: ijya ('he who is to be worshipped') is Jupiter — an epithet beside the glossary's jīva/guru/vākpati; manda is Saturn.
लग्नेशे मन्दान्विते अलसः ।
lagneśe mandānvite alasaḥ |
The lord of the lagna joined with Saturn (manda) — ⟨the native is⟩ lazy.
लग्नेशे निर्बले अलसः।
lagneśe nirbale alasaḥ|
The lord of the lagna weak — ⟨the native is⟩ lazy.
लग्ने पापदृष्ट्याधिक्ये अलसः ।
lagne pāpadṛṣṭyādhikye alasaḥ |
An excess of malefic aspects upon the lagna — ⟨the native is⟩ lazy.
अंशाद्धर्मे जीवे कृषिकर्ता ।
aṃśāddharme jīve kṛṣikartā |
Jupiter in the 9th (dharma) from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa ascendant⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ a tiller of the soil.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: aṃśāt = reckoned from the aṃśa, i.e. the navāṃśa ascendant, not from the rāśi lagna; dharma = the 9th house (glossary).
अंशादरिगौ पापौ कृषिकर्ता ।
aṃśādarigau pāpau kṛṣikartā |
Two malefics in the 6th (ari) from the aṃśa — ⟨the native is⟩ a tiller of the soil.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: pāpau and arigau are dual: exactly two malefics, and the number is part of the rule. ari = the 6th house (glossary).
धनुषि वृषेऽङ्गे क्रूरैर्दृष्टे खल्वाटः।
dhanuṣi vṛṣe'ṅge krūrairdṛṣṭe khalvāṭaḥ|
The lagna (aṅga) in Dhanus or Vṛṣabha and aspected by malefics — ⟨the native is⟩ bald.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: aṅga ('the body') names the lagna, as it does again at 220 and 231 (aṅgeśa).
सपापे पापर्क्षेऽङ्गे खल्वाटः ।
sapāpe pāparkṣe'ṅge khalvāṭaḥ |
The lagna in a malefic's sign and joined with a malefic — ⟨the native is⟩ bald.
कर्के चन्द्रे भौमदृष्टे सिंहचापाल्यङ्गनालग्ने खल्वाटः।
karke candre bhaumadṛṣṭe siṃhacāpālyaṅganālagne khalvāṭaḥ|
The Moon in Karka aspected by Mars, and the lagna in Siṃha, Cāpa ⟨Dhanus⟩, Ali ⟨Vṛścika⟩ or Aṅganā ⟨Kanyā⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ bald.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: Four lagnas are named by epithet: cāpa 'bow' = Dhanus, ali 'scorpion' = Vṛścika, aṅganā 'woman' = Kanyā, beside Siṃha in plain form.
नेत्रे शुभे नेत्रेशे च शुभान्वितेऽङ्गेशयुते शोभननेत्रः।
netre śubhe netreśe ca śubhānvite'ṅgeśayute śobhananetraḥ|
A benefic in the 2nd (netra, 'the eye'), and the lord of the 2nd joined by a benefic and conjoined with the lord of the lagna — ⟨the native has⟩ beautiful eyes.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: netra ('eye') is the number-word for two and here names the 2nd house, the house of the eyes; the sūtras of this same run use dhana (2nd) and vyaya (12th) for the identical subject at 224 and 226, and dhaneśa at 233 where netreśa stands at 234. Per glossary rule 3 the house NUMBER is rendered. netreśa = lord of the 2nd; aṅgeśa = lord of the lagna.
इन्द्वर्कौ लग्ने मिश्रदृष्टे बुद्बुदलोचनः ।
indvarkau lagne miśradṛṣṭe budbudalocanaḥ |
The Moon and the Sun in the lagna, under mixed aspect ⟨of benefics and malefics⟩ — ⟨the native has⟩ bubble-like ⟨protruding⟩ eyes.
लग्ने वा व्यये पापे मिलिताक्षः।
lagne vā vyaye pāpe militākṣaḥ|
A malefic in the lagna or in the 12th (vyaya) — ⟨the native is⟩ militākṣa, his eyes closed up ⟨narrowed⟩.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: milita is both 'closed, shut' and 'met, joined together'. English must choose: the primary rendering is closed/narrowed eyes, with 'eyes that meet' — a squint — the other live reading. The Hindi मिलिताक्ष holds both and says so.
सक्रूरोऽर्कोऽन्त्ये वा त्रिकोणे विकलनयनः ।
sakrūro'rko'ntye vā trikoṇe vikalanayanaḥ |
The Sun with a malefic in the 12th (antya), or in a trikoṇa ⟨a trine⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ defective in the eyes.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: antya ('the last') = the 12th house. trikoṇa is the trine (1, 5, 9) of the glossary and is kept distinct from trika (6, 8, 12), which this same run uses at 227 and 240.
धने वा व्यये शुक्रे पापयुते काणो वा मन्दलोचनः ।
dhane vā vyaye śukre pāpayute kāṇo vā mandalocanaḥ |
Venus in the 2nd (dhana) or the 12th (vyaya), joined with a malefic — ⟨the native is⟩ one-eyed, or dim of sight.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: kāṇa is the loss of one eye, not weak sight; mandalocana is the dimmed eye. The verse offers them as alternatives (vā) and both are kept at their weight.
पुष्पवन्तावसद्दृष्टौ वक्रगर्क्षगौ वा त्रिके वक्रनेत्रः।
puṣpavantāvasaddṛṣṭau vakragarkṣagau vā trike vakranetraḥ|
The Sun and the Moon (puṣpavantau) aspected by evil ⟨grahas⟩ and posited in the sign occupied by a retrograde ⟨graha⟩, or in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ crooked-eyed.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: puṣpavantau (dual) = the Sun and Moon together. vakra is both 'retrograde' and a name of Mars (glossary), so vakraga-ṛkṣa-gau reads either 'in the sign occupied by a retrograde graha' (taken here) or 'in the sign of Mars'; the compound gives no way to decide and the Hindi वक्रगामी keeps the same door open. trika = the 6th, 8th and 12th.
चन्द्रारावेकभागेऽक्ष्णोश्चिह्नम् ।
candrārāvekabhāge'kṣṇościhnam |
The Moon and Mars in one and the same degree (eka-bhāga) — a mark upon the eyes.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: eka-bhāga is one degree, the tightest of the conjunction conditions in this run; akṣṇoḥ is genitive dual — the mark is on the eyes, both of them.
षष्ठेशे वक्रगर्क्षेऽक्षिरोगी ।
ṣaṣṭheśe vakragarkṣe'kṣirogī |
The lord of the 6th in the sign occupied by a retrograde ⟨graha⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ afflicted with eye disease.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The printed पष्ठेशे is an OCR misreading of षष्ठेशे (ṣaṣṭheśe, 'the lord of the 6th'): पष्ठेश is not a word, and 231-232 use ṣaṣṭha for the same house. The word-break before वक्रगर्क्षे is also lost in the OCR. Neither touches the sense, and both are to be settled on the 1941 plates. As at 227, vakra could instead be Mars. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठेशे वक्रगर्क्षेऽक्षिरोगी; this sentence names पष्ठेशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
ज्ञारर्क्षे लग्नपे ज्ञारदृष्टेऽक्षिरोगी।
jñārarkṣe lagnape jñāradṛṣṭe'kṣirogī|
The lord of the lagna in a sign of Mercury or Mars, and aspected by Mercury and Mars — ⟨the native is⟩ afflicted with eye disease.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: jñāra is the dvandva jña + āra, Mercury and Mars, used twice in the sūtra — first of the sign, then of the aspect.
रन्ध्राङ्गेशौ षष्ठे सव्यनेत्रे रोगः ।
randhrāṅgeśau ṣaṣṭhe savyanetre rogaḥ |
The lords of the 8th (randhra) and of the lagna (aṅga) in the 6th — disease in the left eye.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: randhra = the 8th house; savya = left, and the pairing with dakṣiṇa (right) at 232 confirms it. The two eyes are assigned to different configurations and the sides must not be swapped.
षष्ठेऽष्टमे शुक्रे दक्षिणनेत्रे रोगः ।
ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame śukre dakṣiṇanetre rogaḥ |
Venus in the 6th or the 8th — disease in the right eye.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: Two locatives with no vā between them — 'in the 6th, in the 8th' — read as alternatives, the same construction 238 uses.
धनेशे शुभेक्षिते लग्नेशे पापयुते सरोगनेत्रः।
dhaneśe śubhekṣite lagneśe pāpayute saroganetraḥ|
The lord of the 2nd (dhana) aspected by a benefic ⟨and⟩ the lord of the lagna joined with a malefic — ⟨the native has⟩ diseased eyes.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The benefic aspect on the 2nd lord does not cancel the result here: the sūtra states both conditions and still gives diseased eyes. Rendered as printed rather than repaired.
मन्दारगुलिकयुते नेत्रेशे नेत्रे रोगः ।
mandāragulikayute netreśe netre rogaḥ |
The lord of the 2nd (netra) joined with Saturn (manda), Mars (āra) and Gulika — disease in the eye.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: Gulika is an upagraha — a shadowy sub-graha reckoned within Saturn's portion of the day — and is kept by name, not translated.
नेत्रे पापा यमदृष्टा नेत्रं रोगहतं भवेत् ।
netre pāpā yamadṛṣṭā netraṃ rogahataṃ bhavet |
Malefics in the 2nd (netra), aspected by Saturn (yama) — the eye will be struck down by disease.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: yama is taken as Saturn; because 234 has just named the upagraha Gulika, the reading Yamakaṇṭaka (Jupiter's upagraha) cannot be ruled out. rogahata is 'struck down / destroyed by disease' and is not softened. The mūla's नेत्र रोगहतं भवेत् is loose for नेत्रं रोगहतं भवेत्; the sense is unaffected.
नेत्रेशांशेशे पापर्क्षे रोगहतनेत्रः।
netreśāṃśeśe pāparkṣe rogahatanetraḥ|
The lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 2nd (netreśa) standing in a malefic's sign — ⟨the native's⟩ eye is struck down by disease.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: netreśāṃśeśe = the lord of the aṃśa (navāṃśa) held by the lord of the 2nd. The printed पापः stands in the nominative against a locative clause; kept as printed. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पापर्क्षे; this sentence names पापः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
लग्नाष्टमे शुक्रे क्रूरदृष्टेऽश्रुपातान्नेत्रपीडा ।
lagnāṣṭame śukre krūradṛṣṭe'śrupātānnetrapīḍā |
Venus in the 8th from the lagna, aspected by malefics — affliction of the eyes from a falling of tears.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: aśrupātāt is ablative — the eye-trouble comes FROM the running of tears, i.e. the watering is the cause named, not merely a symptom.
लग्ने भौमे शयने नयने गदः।
lagne bhaume śayane nayane gadaḥ|
Mars in the lagna ⟨or⟩ in the 12th (śayana, 'the bed') — disease of the eye.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: śayana ('the bed') is read as a name of the 12th house, the sūtra pairing two positions without vā exactly as 232 does. The printed word order (lagne bhaume śayane) puts the graha between the two places, so the alternative reading — 'disease of the eye in bed', i.e. at night — is not excluded by the text; the Hindi शयन keeps the word itself.
स्वेशशुक्रयोगे नेत्ररोगी।
sveśaśukrayoge netrarogī|
The lord of that ⟨house — the 2nd⟩ in conjunction with Venus — ⟨the native is⟩ diseased in the eyes.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: sveśa is literally 'its own lord', with no antecedent in the sūtra itself; the running subject of 222-240 is the netra-bhāva, so 'the lord of that house — the 2nd' is supplied. It could alternatively be the lord of the sign a graha occupies. English must fix a referent; the Hindi keeps स्वेश and glosses it.
शुक्रात् त्रिके नेत्रेशे नेत्ररोगी ।
śukrāt trike netreśe netrarogī |
The lord of the 2nd (netra) in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ counted from Venus — ⟨the native is⟩ diseased in the eyes.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: śukrāt is ablative: the trika is reckoned FROM Venus, not from the lagna.
त्रिकोणे सूर्ये पापदृष्टे निस्तेजो नेत्रः ।
trikoṇe sūrye pāpadṛṣṭe nistejo netraḥ |
The Sun in a trikoṇa (a trine) and aspected by a malefic — the eye is without lustre.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: This run of sūtras distinguishes त्रिकोण (trikoṇa, a trine — here and at 243) from त्रिक (trika, the 6th/8th/12th — everywhere else); the two are rendered differently throughout. निस्तेजस् is 'without tejas', i.e. lightless, not yet blind — the sūtras that follow name outright blindness.
लग्नेशे सार्कशुक्रे त्रिके जन्मान्धः ।
lagneśe sārkaśukre trike janmāndhaḥ |
The lord of the lagna, together with the Sun and Venus, in a trika house ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ born blind.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: त्रिक is taken throughout this run as the 6th, 8th and 12th houses; the same sūtra-set writes त्रिकोण separately (241, 243), so the two terms are the text's own distinction and not a variant spelling. सार्कशुक्रे = sa-arka-śukre, 'with the Sun and Venus'.
सूर्ये राहुग्रस्तेऽङ्गे मन्दारौ त्रिकोणे जन्मान्धः ।
sūrye rāhugraste'ṅge mandārau trikoṇe janmāndhaḥ |
The Sun seized by Rāhu ⟨eclipsed, i.e. conjoined with him⟩ in the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩, and Saturn and Mars in a trikoṇa — ⟨the native is⟩ born blind.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अङ्ग ('the body') is this text's regular name for the lagna — see 253, 259, 265, 267. मन्दारौ = manda + āra, Saturn and Mars.
नेत्राङ्गेशौ भान्वच्छयुतौ त्रिके जन्मान्धः ।
netrāṅgeśau bhānvacchayutau trike janmāndhaḥ |
The lord of the eye ⟨the 2nd⟩ and the lord of the body ⟨the lagna⟩, joined with the Sun and Venus, in a trika — ⟨the native is⟩ born blind.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: नेत्र is the number-word for two, hence the 2nd house — the eye-house of 268/269, where the 2nd is the right eye and the 12th the left. भान्वच्छ = bhānu + accha; अच्छ ('clear, bright') is read as Venus, on the strength of the near-doublet at 242 (lagneśa + Sun + Venus in a trika → born blind) and of 247/264, where the same accha pairs with the Moon exactly as शुक्र does. The identification is inferential, not stated by the text.
त्रिके चन्द्रारयोगे पातादन्धः।
trike candrārayoge pātādandhaḥ|
The Moon and Mars in conjunction in a trika — blind from a fall.
सेज्येन्दौ त्रिके सेकादन्धः ।
sejyendau trike sekādandhaḥ |
The Moon together with Jupiter (ijya) in a trika — blind from seka ⟨a drenching: liquid poured or splashed⟩.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: सेक is left standing rather than resolved. It is 'sprinkling, pouring, effusion' — with the watery Moon and Jupiter the plain sense is a liquid thrown into the eyes, but seka is also used of seminal effusion, which would put this sūtra with 247 (blind through lust) rather than with 245 (blind from a fall). The Hindi keeps सेक, which holds both; the English had to gloss one.
चन्द्राच्छौ त्रिके कामान्धः ।
candrācchau trike kāmāndhaḥ |
The Moon and Venus (accha) in a trika — blind with lust.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अच्छ read as Venus; see the note at 244.
ज्ञेन्दू त्रिके शास्त्रान्धः।
jñendū trike śāstrāndhaḥ|
Mercury and the Moon in a trika — blind through the śāstras.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: शास्त्रान्ध is two-way and the Hindi keeps it so: 'blinded by the śāstras' (sight lost through study) and 'blind to the śāstras' (learning that darkens rather than illumines) are both available. 245–248 run figurative alongside literal — a fall, then lust, then learning — so the compound is probably meant to be heard both ways.
इन्द्वर्कौ सोत्थे वा केन्द्रेऽन्धः।
indvarkau sotthe vā kendre'ndhaḥ|
The Moon and the Sun in the 3rd (sottha), or in a kendra — blind.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. सोत्थे is the THIRD HOUSE. The earlier note read it etymologically as 'risen together, hence both luminaries in one sign' and offered स्वोत्थे as an equal candidate; neither is needed. सोत्थ (sottha, sa-uttha 'arisen together') is this text's own name for the THIRD house. The book defines it at A.8, which lists the twelve bhāvas in order — देह · धन · सोत्थ · मातृ · आत्मज · अरि · स्त्री · मृति · धर्म · कर्म · लाभ · व्यय — so सोत्थ stands third. R.68's and K.120's own notes already say so in terms. Cross-corpus: `node scripts/corpus/revisions.mjs --word सोत्थ` finds 123 verses whose mūla carries the word, 24 of them outside this book (jataka-parijata 12.25/12.28/12.45, prashna-marga 14.67, sarvartha-chintamani 1.136/2.25/2.97/4.4/4.12/4.19/4.20/4.24/4.28/4.46/4.48/7.43/12.79/16.72, uttara-kalamrita 6.24) — and our own corpus renders every one of them 'the 3rd'. Jātaka Tattva was the only text in the corpus that did not know what the word means.
पापर्क्षे भौमे केन्द्रेऽन्धः।
pāparkṣe bhaume kendre'ndhaḥ|
Mars in a malefic's sign, in a kendra — blind.
यमर्क्षेऽस्ते सूर्येऽन्धः।
yamarkṣe'ste sūrye'ndhaḥ|
The Sun in Saturn's sign in the asta ⟨the 7th house⟩ — blind.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: यमर्क्षे = yama-ṛkṣe, the sign of Yama (Saturn), i.e. Capricorn or Aquarius. अस्त, 'the setting place', is the 7th house.
सौम्यास्त्रिके क्रूरैर्दृष्टा अन्धः ।
saumyāstrike krūrairdṛṣṭā andhaḥ |
Benefics in a trika, aspected by malefics — blind.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The plurals are printed सौम्याः … दृष्टा (for दृष्टाः), one visarga short; kept as printed.
कुजेऽङ्गे कुम्भेऽन्धः ।
kuje'ṅge kumbhe'ndhaḥ |
Mars in the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩ in Aquarius — blind.
शुक्राङ्गेशयुतौ स्वान्त्येशौ त्रिकस्थावन्धः ।
śukrāṅgeśayutau svāntyeśau trikasthāvandhaḥ |
The lords of the 2nd (sva) and the 12th (antya), joined with Venus and the lord of the lagna, standing in a trika — blind.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: स्व ('one's own', wealth) is the 2nd house and अन्त्य ('the last') the 12th — the two eye-houses of 268/269.
शुक्रपापाभ्यां युक्तश्चेन्दुर्धनेऽन्धः ।
śukrapāpābhyāṃ yuktaścendurdhane'ndhaḥ |
The Moon, joined with Venus and a malefic, in the 2nd (dhana) — blind.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: Printed युक्तश्वेन्दुः for युक्तश्चेन्दुः (yuktaś ca induḥ) — a scanner's श्व for श्च; translated from the corrected reading, the printed form left unrepaired in the mūla. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads युक्तश्चेन्दुर्धनेऽन्धः; this sentence names श्व, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
सुताम्बुगौ पापौ अन्धः ।
sutāmbugau pāpau andhaḥ |
Two malefics in the 5th (suta) and the 4th (ambu) — blind.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अम्बु ('water') is the 4th house.
चन्द्रे त्रिके पापदृष्टे अन्धः ।
candre trike pāpadṛṣṭe andhaḥ |
The Moon in a trika, aspected by a malefic — blind.
चन्द्रार्कौ व्यये शुभदृग्घीनौ अन्धः।
candrārkau vyaye śubhadṛgghīnau andhaḥ|
The Moon and the Sun in the 12th (vyaya), devoid of benefic aspect — blind.
सिंहेऽर्कजेऽङ्गे वा शुक्रेऽन्धः ।
siṃhe'rkaje'ṅge vā śukre'ndhaḥ |
Saturn in Leo, or Venus in the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩ — blind.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The वा is placed between the two locative clauses, so they are read as alternatives — Saturn in Leo, or Venus in the lagna. A second parse is grammatically open: 'Saturn in Leo or in the lagna, with Venus ⟨there⟩', which would make one combined condition rather than two single-graha ones; the sūtra as printed does not decide it.
यमेन्द्वर्काः क्रमादन्त्यार्थाष्टमगा नेत्रहीनः ।
yamendvarkāḥ kramādantyārthāṣṭamagā netrahīnaḥ |
Saturn, the Moon and the Sun placed respectively in the 12th (antya), the 2nd (artha) and the 8th — ⟨the native is⟩ eyeless.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: क्रमात् ('respectively') fixes the pairing: Saturn→12th, Moon→2nd, Sun→8th.
यथा तथा षष्ठाष्टान्त्यधनस्थाश्चन्द्रार्कारयमा बलिग्रहदोषजा नेत्रहीनता।
yathā tathā ṣaṣṭhāṣṭāntyadhanasthāścandrārkārayamā baligrahadoṣajā netrahīnatā|
However they may stand — the Moon, the Sun, Mars and Saturn in the 6th, the 8th, the 12th and the 2nd (dhana) — the eyelessness arises from the affliction of the strong graha ⟨among them⟩.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: यथा तथा — the four houses and four grahas may be matched in any order, unlike 260 where क्रमात् fixes them. बलिग्रह is the strong(est) of them, and the sūtra makes it the cause.
लग्नाच्छुक्राद्वा सुते राहुः सूर्यदृष्टश्चेन्नेत्रनाशः।
lagnācchukrādvā sute rāhuḥ sūryadṛṣṭaścennetranāśaḥ|
If Rāhu is in the 5th (suta) from the lagna or from Venus and is aspected by the Sun — destruction of the eye.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: Printed श्चेनेत्रनाशः for श्चेन्नेत्रनाशः (ced netranāśaḥ) — one न short; sense unaffected. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सूर्यदृष्टश्चेन्नेत्रनाशः; this sentence names श्चेनेत्रनाशः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
मन्दे तुर्ये पापैर्दृष्टे नष्टदृष्टिः।
mande turye pāpairdṛṣṭe naṣṭadṛṣṭiḥ|
Saturn in the 4th (turya), aspected by malefics — the sight is destroyed.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: तुर्य, 'the fourth', is the 4th house.
सेन्दुः शुक्रस्त्रिकस्थो निशान्धः ।
senduḥ śukrastrikastho niśāndhaḥ |
Venus with the Moon, standing in a trika — night-blind.
शुक्रेन्दुयुते नेत्रेशेऽङ्गे निशान्धो न तु स्वोच्चशुभैर्युते ।
śukrenduyute netreśe'ṅge niśāndho na tu svoccaśubhairyute |
The lord of the eye ⟨the 2nd⟩, joined with Venus and the Moon, in the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩ — night-blind; but not when joined with benefics ⟨that are⟩ in their own or exaltation signs.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: स्वोच्चशुभैर्युते — 'joined with benefics ⟨in⟩ own sign or exaltation'; the compound leaves it open whether svocca qualifies the benefics or the eye-lord itself, and the Hindi keeps the same latitude.
लग्नार्थेशौ त्रिके ऽक्षिनाशः।
lagnārtheśau trike 'kṣināśaḥ|
The lords of the lagna and of the 2nd (artha) in a trika — loss of the eyes.
चन्द्रार्कौ सिंहेऽङ्गे शन्यारदृष्टे नेत्रनाशः ।
candrārkau siṃhe'ṅge śanyāradṛṣṭe netranāśaḥ |
The Moon and the Sun in the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩ ⟨which is⟩ Leo, aspected by Saturn and Mars — destruction of the eyes.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: दृष्टे is printed in the singular where the two grahas would take the dual (दृष्टौ); read as agreeing with अङ्गे, i.e. the lagna itself being aspected. Either way the aspecting pair is Saturn and Mars.
भौमेऽन्त्ये वामनेत्रे घातः।
bhaume'ntye vāmanetre ghātaḥ|
Mars in the 12th (antya) — a blow to the left eye.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: Here वाम is literally 'left' (the eye), not the glossary's 'adverse' — the pairing with दक्ष at 269 settles it. 268/269 together fix this text's eye-houses: 12th = left eye, 2nd = right eye.
मन्देऽर्थे दक्षनेत्रे घातः।
mande'rthe dakṣanetre ghātaḥ|
Saturn in the 2nd (artha) — a blow to the right eye.
लग्ने धनारिकर्मेशाः शुक्रयुता नृपकोपान्नेत्रोत्पाटनम् ।
lagne dhanārikarmeśāḥ śukrayutā nṛpakopānnetrotpāṭanam |
The lords of the 2nd (dhana), the 6th (ari) and the 10th (karma), joined with Venus, in the lagna — the eyes are torn out through the king's wrath.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: नेत्रोत्पाटन is the tearing out of the eyes, a judicial mutilation — rendered at its weight, not as 'loss of sight'. अरि is the 6th house here, not 'the enemy' as a person.
अच्छाक्षिपौ नीचांशगौ पापयुतौ नृपकोपान्नेत्रोत्पाटनम् ।
acchākṣipau nīcāṃśagau pāpayutau nṛpakopānnetrotpāṭanam |
⟨When⟩ Accha ⟨Venus⟩ and the lord of the eyes ⟨the lord of the 2nd house⟩ occupy debilitated navāṃśas and are joined by malefics — a tearing out of the eyes through the king's wrath.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: Two compressed epithets. अच्छ 'the clear/bright one' is Venus, and अक्षिप 'lord of the eye' is the lord of the 2nd house — the 2nd being the eyes in this section (cf. 266, 269, and 273, which states the same pair with शुक्र named outright). Both identifications are the 1941 edition's own, on its facing English.
राजारिनाथांशेशौ त्रिके लग्नेशयुतौ नृपकोपान्नेत्रोत्पाटनम् ।
rājārināthāṃśeśau trike lagneśayutau nṛpakopānnetrotpāṭanam |
⟨When⟩ the navāṃśa-lords of the lords of rāja ⟨the 5th⟩ and ari ⟨the 6th⟩ stand in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ joined with the lord of the lagna — a tearing out of the eyes through the king's wrath.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अंशेश = the lord of the navāṃśa a graha occupies, so the sūtra is two removes from the houses it names. राज is taken as the 5th house on the edition's own facing English; the word by itself could equally be read as 'the king' = the Sun, and the sūtra does not disambiguate. त्रिक = the 6th, 8th and 12th throughout this section.
शुक्राक्षिपौ षष्ठगौ शुभैर्न दृष्टौ नेत्रप्रमादः ।
śukrākṣipau ṣaṣṭhagau śubhairna dṛṣṭau netrapramādaḥ |
Venus and the lord of the eyes ⟨the lord of the 2nd house⟩ posited in the 6th and unaspected by benefics — injury to the eyes.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: प्रमाद is 'heedlessness, mishap'; नेत्रप्रमाद is damage to the eyes, the edition reading it as 'danger to his eyes through neglect'. The pair here is the same as in 271, with Venus named outright — which is what fixes अच्छ there.
लग्ने भौमे वा चन्द्रे शुक्रेज्यदृष्टे काणः ।
lagne bhaume vā candre śukrejyadṛṣṭe kāṇaḥ |
Mars, or else the Moon, in the lagna, aspected by Venus and Jupiter (ijya) — one-eyed.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: शुक्रेज्यदृष्टे is a dvandva in composition — 'aspected by Venus-and-Jupiter'. The edition takes it distributively ('by Venus or Jupiter'); the Hindi keeps the compound as the Sanskrit has it.
व्ययारिगौ चन्द्रार्कौ दम्पती काणौ ।
vyayārigau candrārkau dampatī kāṇau |
The Moon and the Sun in the 12th (vyaya) and the 6th (ari) — the couple ⟨the native and his wife⟩ are one-eyed.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: व्ययारिगौ distributes over the pair: one luminary in the 12th, the other in the 6th, the sūtra not saying which takes which. दम्पती is husband and wife together, so the defect is predicated of both.
सिंहे चन्द्रेऽस्ते भौमदृष्टे काणः ।
siṃhe candre'ste bhaumadṛṣṭe kāṇaḥ |
The Moon in Siṃha, that being the 7th (asta), aspected by Mars — one-eyed.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अस्त is the 7th house (the setting place), as the parallel sūtra 277 confirms by writing सप्तमे in the same slot.
कर्केऽर्के सप्तमे भौमदृष्टे काणः ।
karke'rke saptame bhaumadṛṣṭe kāṇaḥ |
The Sun in Karka, that being the 7th, aspected by Mars — one-eyed.
चन्द्राच्छावन्त्ये वा द्यूने वामाक्ष्णा काणः ।
candrācchāvantye vā dyūne vāmākṣṇā kāṇaḥ |
The Moon and Accha ⟨Venus⟩ in the 12th, or in the 7th (dyūna) — one-eyed, blind in the left eye.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अच्छ = Venus again (as at 271, 290): the compound चन्द्राच्छौ is the dvandva 'the Moon and Accha', not an ablative from the Moon — 287 writes चन्द्रात् when it means 'from the Moon'.
मन्दात्तुर्ये सौम्ये षष्ठेशे त्रिके बधिरः ।
mandātturye saumye ṣaṣṭheśe trike badhiraḥ |
Saumya ⟨Mercury⟩ in the 4th from Saturn (manda), and the lord of the 6th in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — deaf.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: सौम्य is Mercury on the edition's facing English; the word can equally mean 'a benefic', and the Hindi leaves it as the Sanskrit does.
सरिपुपूर्णेन्दुशुक्रौ बधिरः ।
saripupūrṇenduśukrau badhiraḥ |
The full Moon and Venus together with their enemies — deaf.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: स-रिपु is compressed and unlocalised: the edition reads 'associated with their respective enemies', which may mean conjoined with inimical grahas or placed in enemy signs. The sūtra names no house and does not decide between the two.
रात्रौ ज्ञे षष्ठे सुते शुक्रे बधिरः ।
rātrau jñe ṣaṣṭhe sute śukre badhiraḥ |
In a night birth, Mercury (jña) in the 6th and Venus in the 5th (suta) — deaf.
सितेऽन्त्ये ज्ञयुते वामकर्णे श्रुतिन्यूनता।
site'ntye jñayute vāmakarṇe śrutinyūnatā|
Sita ⟨Venus⟩ in the 12th (antya), joined by Mercury — deficiency of hearing in the left ear.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The file prints श्रुतिन्युनता where the word is श्रुतिन्यूनता (short u for ū) — a press or scanner slip; the sense is untouched. Note that the sūtra says न्यूनता, a deficiency of hearing, not बधिरता, deafness. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads श्रुतिन्यूनता; this sentence names श्रुतिन्युनता, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
ज्ञषष्ठेशौ क्रूरदृष्टौ बधिरः ।
jñaṣaṣṭheśau krūradṛṣṭau badhiraḥ |
Mercury and the lord of the 6th aspected by malefics (krūra) — deaf.
पापास्त्र्यायत्रिकोणे सौम्यैर्नेक्षिता बाधिर्यकराः।
pāpāstryāyatrikoṇe saumyairnekṣitā bādhiryakarāḥ|
Malefics in the 3rd, the 11th (āya) and the trikoṇas ⟨the 5th and 9th⟩, unaspected by benefics, are causes of deafness.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: त्र्याय = the 3rd and the 11th; त्रिकोण is then the trine pair, the 5th and 9th, which is how the edition takes it. The predicate is बाधिर्यकराः, 'causing deafness', said of the malefics themselves.
षष्ठेशे त्रिके मन्ददृष्टे बधिरः।
ṣaṣṭheśe trike mandadṛṣṭe badhiraḥ|
The lord of the 6th in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩, aspected by Saturn (manda) — deaf.
हंसार्किचन्द्रास्त्रिसुतास्तधर्मगाः सौम्यादृष्टयुता कर्णच्छेदः।
haṃsārkicandrāstrisutāstadharmagāḥ saumyādṛṣṭayutā karṇacchedaḥ|
Haṃsa ⟨the Sun⟩, Arki ⟨Saturn⟩ and the Moon placed in the 3rd, the 5th (suta), the 7th (asta) and the 9th (dharma), neither aspected by benefics nor joined with them — a cutting off of the ears.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: हंस is the Sun on the edition's facing English; the word also names Jupiter's mahāpuruṣa yoga, and the sūtra alone does not decide. Three grahas are spread over four houses, so the placement is distributive and the sūtra does not assign them. The file prints सौम्यादृष्टयुता for the expected plural सौम्यादृष्टयुताः.
चन्द्रादस्ते मन्दे शुक्रार्कौ लग्ने कर्णच्छेदः ।
candrādaste mande śukrārkau lagne karṇacchedaḥ |
Saturn (manda) in the 7th (asta) from the Moon, and Venus and the Sun in the lagna — a cutting off of the ears.
नीचे भृगौ फणियुते कर्णच्छेदः।
nīce bhṛgau phaṇiyute karṇacchedaḥ|
Bhṛgu ⟨Venus⟩ debilitated and joined with the serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩ — a cutting off of the ears.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: फणि, 'the hooded one', is Rāhu on the edition's facing English; the epithet could in principle name either node.
शुक्रे षष्ठे कुजेऽङ्गे नासाच्छेदः ।
śukre ṣaṣṭhe kuje'ṅge nāsācchedaḥ |
Venus in the 6th and Kuja ⟨Mars⟩ in the body ⟨the lagna⟩ — a cutting off of the nose.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अङ्ग, 'the body', is the 1st house; the same word stands for the lagna at 295 and 298.
इन्द्वच्छौ मेषगौ लग्नषष्ठे ज्ञे मुखदौर्गन्ध्यम् ।
indvacchau meṣagau lagnaṣaṣṭhe jñe mukhadaurgandhyam |
Indu ⟨the Moon⟩ and Accha ⟨Venus⟩ in Meṣa, and Mercury in the lagna or the 6th — foulness of the mouth.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अच्छ = Venus, the third and last occurrence in this run (271, 278, 290).
कर्काजगे शुक्रे मुखदौर्गन्ध्यम् ।
karkājage śukre mukhadaurgandhyam |
Venus in Karka or in Aja ⟨Meṣa⟩ — foulness of the mouth.
लग्ने इन्दौ षष्ठेशे ज्ञे मुखदौर्गन्ध्यम् ।
lagne indau ṣaṣṭheśe jñe mukhadaurgandhyam |
The Moon (indu) in the lagna and Mercury the lord of the 6th — foulness of the mouth.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: षष्ठेशे ज्ञे is apposition in the locative — Mercury being the lord of the 6th — not two separate placements.
कर्कालिझषे ज्ञे सूर्याधस्थचन्द्रदृष्टे मूकः ।
karkālijhaṣe jñe sūryādhasthacandradṛṣṭe mūkaḥ |
Mercury in Karka, Ali ⟨Vṛścika⟩ or Jhaṣa ⟨Mīna⟩, aspected by the Moon standing below the Sun — mute.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: सूर्याधस्थचन्द्र is literally 'the Moon placed below the Sun'. The edition reads this as the Moon in the invisible half in a day birth; the Sanskrit says only 'below the Sun' and adds no word for a day birth.
ज्ञारीशौ लग्नगौ मूकः ।
jñārīśau lagnagau mūkaḥ |
Mercury and the lord of the 6th (arīśa) in the lagna — mute.
जीवारीशावङ्गे मूकः ।
jīvārīśāvaṅge mūkaḥ |
Jīva ⟨Jupiter⟩ and the lord of the 6th in the body ⟨the lagna⟩ — mute.
धनेशेज्यौ त्रिके मूकः ।
dhaneśejyau trike mūkaḥ |
The lord of the 2nd (dhaneśa) and Ijya ⟨Jupiter⟩ in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — mute.
कर्कालिझषगे ज्ञे चन्द्रदृष्टे सुखे सूर्ये षष्ठभे पापदृष्टे गुङ्गस्वरः।
karkālijhaṣage jñe candradṛṣṭe sukhe sūrye ṣaṣṭhabhe pāpadṛṣṭe guṅgasvaraḥ|
Mercury in Karka, Ali ⟨Vṛścika⟩ or Jhaṣa ⟨Mīna⟩, aspected by the Moon and in the 4th (sukha); the Sun in the 6th, aspected by a malefic — a humming ⟨nasal, indistinct⟩ voice.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The locatives chain without a marked break, so the division is the reader's. The edition attaches सुखे to Mercury and षष्ठमे to the Sun, which is followed here; taking सुखे सूर्ये together ('the Sun in the 4th') would leave षष्ठमे without a subject. The file prints षष्ठमे where the ordinary form is षष्ठे. गुङ्ग is the mute's indistinct, humming utterance — a lesser defect than the मूक of 293–296. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठभे; this sentence names षष्ठमे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
शुक्लेन्द्वारावङ्गे गुङ्गस्वरः ।
śuklendvārāvaṅge guṅgasvaraḥ |
The waxing Moon (śuklendu) and Āra ⟨Mars⟩ in the body ⟨the lagna⟩ — a humming voice.
चन्द्रार्कौ मीनस्थौ प्रहसितमुखः ।
candrārkau mīnasthau prahasitamukhaḥ |
The Moon and the Sun placed in Mīna — a laughing face.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: प्रहसितमुख stands unqualified in a run of facial defects, yet 300 assigns it to an exalted 2nd lord in a kendra, which is a favourable configuration; the phrase is therefore left as 'a laughing face' in both languages rather than resolved into either a blemish or a grace.
धनेशे स्वोच्चगे केन्द्रे प्रहसितमुखः ।
dhaneśe svoccage kendre prahasitamukhaḥ |
The lord of the 2nd (dhaneśa) in its own exaltation and in a kendra — a laughing face.
कोशेशे सौम्ययुते केन्द्रे सुमुखः ।
kośeśe saumyayute kendre sumukhaḥ |
The lord of the treasury (kośa, the 2nd) joined with a benefic and in a kendra — ⟨the native is⟩ fair-faced.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: kośa is the 2nd house (the treasury); this sūtra and 302–303 form the group on the mukha (face/mouth), after which 304–313 turn to speech. saumya is rendered 'benefic' (the class) here, as the glossary allows; it can equally name Mercury, and the sūtra does not settle which — but the malefic contrast in 302–303 favours the class.
धने पापे धनेशे पापयुते नीचारिगे दुर्मुखः।
dhane pāpe dhaneśe pāpayute nīcārige durmukhaḥ|
A malefic in the 2nd, and the lord of the 2nd joined with a malefic and gone to debilitation or to an enemy's ⟨sign⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ ill-faced.
धने पापे दीर्घमुखः।
dhane pāpe dīrghamukhaḥ|
A malefic in the 2nd — ⟨the native is⟩ long-faced.
जामित्रे मन्दे चन्द्रे खे वाग्मी ।
jāmitre mande candre khe vāgmī |
Saturn in the 7th (jāmitra) and the Moon in the 10th (kha) — ⟨the native is⟩ eloquent.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: vāgmī here is the predicate of the result-clause — 'eloquent', said of the native — and not the Jupiter-epithet वाग्मिन् of the glossary; every sūtra from 304 to 313 closes with it, and 311 names Jupiter separately as वागीश. kha ('the sky') is the 10th house.
मन्दाच्छौ वित्ते मन्दभेऽर्के वाग्मी ।
mandācchau vitte mandabhe'rke vāgmī |
Saturn (manda) and Venus (accha) in the 2nd (vitta), ⟨and⟩ the Sun in a sign of Saturn's — ⟨the native is⟩ eloquent.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. मन्दाच्छौ is manda + accha, Saturn and Venus. The earlier note called the word 'not a readable word' and left the second graha unsupplied; it is Venus. अच्छ (accha) is this text's own name for VENUS. The book defines it six times in section A: A.37 मन्दज्ञौ क्लीबौ चन्द्राच्छौ स्त्रियौ (Saturn and Mercury neuter, the Moon and X female — X is Venus), A.38 ज्ञाच्छौ राजसौ, A.50 सूर्यस्य मन्दाच्छौ रिपू, A.54 जीवस्य ज्ञाच्छावरी, A.56 मन्दस्य ज्ञाच्छौ सुहृदौ, A.65 चन्द्राच्छौ सजलौ. Six standard tables, one answer, and our own file already renders all six with Venus. It is what the printing sets, not a scanner ghost. Three other verses of this same file — C.137, C.143, C.345 — carry मन्दाच्छ and our own renderings already give Venus in all three. वित्त = the 2nd house; मन्दभे = Saturn's bha, i.e. his sign (bha can also mean nakṣatra, and this sūtra does not settle which). Two independent machine readings of the printed Devanāgarī confirm the akṣaras: the 1914 Śrīnivāsa Mahādeva Śarmā exemplar (a different editor, press and decade) prints चन्द्राच्छौ at its ॥३६॥ = our A.37 (sharma-1914-hindi__dli-406051_djvu.txt L1427), and dli496259_djvu.txt — an OCR of the 1941 sheets independent of the ebharati e-text every mūla here stands on — prints चन्द्राच्छो at R.67 (L21469), जीबाच्छो/इज्याच्छो at P.9–P.10 (L20161, L20169) and मन्दाच्छौ four times (L31673–31677). The 1941 plate at page index 168 (printed 161, head [G 54—61]) sets जीवाच्छौ at ५८ and ५९ and englishes them 'Jupiter or Venus' and 'Jupiter and Venus'.
दिवा सिंहे ज्ञे वाग्मी ।
divā siṃhe jñe vāgmī |
By day, Mercury in Leo — ⟨the native is⟩ eloquent.
रात्रौ कर्के ज्ञे वाग्मी ।
rātrau karke jñe vāgmī |
By night, Mercury in Cancer — ⟨the native is⟩ eloquent.
धनेशे सौम्ययुते केन्द्रकोणे वा शुभेक्षिते पुङ्ग्रहयोगे वाग्मी ।
dhaneśe saumyayute kendrakoṇe vā śubhekṣite puṅgrahayoge vāgmī |
The lord of the 2nd joined with a benefic, or in a kendra or a trikoṇa, aspected by benefics, in conjunction with a male graha — ⟨the native is⟩ eloquent.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: puṅgraha = a male graha; by the standard classification these are the Sun, Mars and Jupiter. The sūtra names the class, not the grahas, and the class is left as the text leaves it.
धनेशे पारावतांशे केन्द्रे वाग्मी ।
dhaneśe pārāvatāṃśe kendre vāgmī |
The lord of the 2nd in the pārāvata aṃśa and in a kendra — ⟨the native is⟩ eloquent.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: pārāvata is one of the named grades of vargá-dignity (the vaiśeṣikāṃśa series — pārijāta, uttama, gopura, siṃhāsana, pārāvata, devaloka and the rest), reached by counting a graha's dignities; gopura in 311 belongs to the same series. The term is kept untranslated for that reason. The e-text prints धनेश uninflected where the syntax wants the locative धनेशे (as 313 has it); read as a locative.
सौम्येंशे जीवे वाग्मी ।
saumyeṃśe jīve vāgmī |
Jupiter in the aṃśa of a benefic ⟨or of Mercury⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ eloquent.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: saumya is two-way here: the class of benefics, or Mercury by name. The Hindi keeps both readings open; the English has to lead with one, so the second is marked as supplied.
3.311a reading here is contested वागीशांशपे उच्चे गोपुरे वा वाग्मी ।
vāgīśāṃśape ucce gopure vā vāgmī |
The lord of the aṃśa occupied by Vāgīśa (Jupiter) exalted, or in the gopura ⟨grade⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ eloquent.
2 notes on this verse
- What the page would not yield: TERMINAL PUNCTUATION DEFECT, kept exactly as the source sets it: this sūtra does not end in a daṇḍa, where 2,273 of the 2,277 do. It ends "रे वा वाग्मी !". An '!' in this position is a scanner reading of the vertical stroke; a stray dot is scanner debris; an absent mark may be either. Nothing has been supplied — supplying a daṇḍa is emendation, and no plate has been read here.
- About this edition: Terminal punctuation defect carried over from the source, as the input file flags it: this sūtra ends '!' where 2,273 of 2,277 end in a daṇḍa. Nothing has been supplied and the sense is unaffected — the '!' stands where a daṇḍa stands elsewhere. gopura is a grade in the same vaiśeṣikāṃśa series as pārāvata (309, 313).
सशुभे जीवे वर्गोत्तमे वाग्मी।
saśubhe jīve vargottame vāgmī|
Jupiter with a benefic and in vargottama — ⟨the native is⟩ eloquent.
धनेशे पारावतांशे जीवयुते वाग्मी।
dhaneśe pārāvatāṃśe jīvayute vāgmī|
The lord of the 2nd in the pārāvata aṃśa, joined with Jupiter — ⟨the native is⟩ eloquent.
षष्ठेशे ज्ञे जिह्वादोषः ।
ṣaṣṭheśe jñe jihvādoṣaḥ |
Mercury as lord of the 6th — a defect of the tongue.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: ṣaṣṭheśe jñe is two locatives standing in apposition — 'the lord of the 6th being Mercury'. It can also be read 'the lord of the 6th ⟨placed⟩ in Mercury's ⟨sign⟩', the idiom of 316 (मन्दर्क्षे ज्ञे); the sūtra itself does not settle it, and 317's parallel (धर्मेशे शुक्रे, Venus as lord of the 9th) is what decides the reading taken here.
मदेशाद् धने केतावस्फुटोक्तिः।
madeśād dhane ketāvasphuṭoktiḥ|
Ketu in the 2nd from the lord of the 7th (mada) — indistinct speech.
मन्दर्क्षे ज्ञे मन्ददृष्टे गद्गदवाक् ।
mandarkṣe jñe mandadṛṣṭe gadgadavāk |
Mercury in Saturn's sign and aspected by Saturn — faltering, stammering speech.
धर्मेशे शुक्रे लल्लरोक्तिः ।
dharmeśe śukre lallaroktiḥ |
Venus as lord of the 9th (dharma) — lisping speech.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: gadgada-vāc (316) and lallara-ukti (317–319) are kept apart: gadgada is choked, faltering utterance; lallara is a lisp or stutter. Collapsing both into one English word would erase a distinction the sūtras make three times over.
धनेशे विबले क्रूरांशे लल्लरोक्तिः ।
dhaneśe vibale krūrāṃśe lallaroktiḥ |
The lord of the 2nd without strength and in a malefic's aṃśa — lisping speech.
पापे धने वा पापदृष्टे क्रूरांशे पापयुते लल्लरोक्तिः ।
pāpe dhane vā pāpadṛṣṭe krūrāṃśe pāpayute lallaroktiḥ |
A malefic in the 2nd, or ⟨the 2nd⟩ aspected by a malefic, in a malefic's aṃśa, joined with a malefic — lisping speech.
मन्देन्दुयोगे परुषवाक् ।
mandenduyoge paruṣavāk |
In a conjunction of Saturn and the Moon — harsh speech.
गोजधनेङ्गे क्रूरैर्दृष्टे वा युते दन्तविकारः ।
gojadhaneṅge krūrairdṛṣṭe vā yute dantavikāraḥ |
Taurus (go) and Aries (aja) standing as the 2nd and the 1st (aṅga), aspected by or joined with malefics — deformity of the teeth.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08, and the mūla corrected with it. The earlier note read: "OCR corruption, not repaired: गोगोज at the head of the sūtra is not a readable word." It is not a corruption of a graha-name at all — it is a doubled akṣara. The 1914 Śrīnivāsa Mahādeva Śarmā exemplar (sharma-1914-hindi__dli-406051_djvu.txt L4604) prints गोजधनेङ्गे with ONE गो, and the compound resolves as गो + अज + धन + अङ्ग: गो (the cow) is Vṛṣabha/Taurus and अज (the ram) is Meṣa/Aries, standing as the 2nd house and the 1st. The 1941 edition's facing English states the same claim at dli2015-32366_djvu.txt L5020-5022 — it names both signs, both houses, malefic aspect or conjunction, and defective teeth. Two exemplars and one translation witness agree on the claim; nothing here rests on our own e-text.
सप्तमे पापाः सौम्यैरदृष्टाः दन्तविकृतिः ।
saptame pāpāḥ saumyairadṛṣṭāḥ dantavikṛtiḥ |
Malefics in the 7th, unaspected by benefics — deformity of the teeth.
चन्द्रार्क्यर्का वा पापा अस्ते दशनाभिघातः ।
candrārkyarkā vā pāpā aste daśanābhighātaḥ |
The Moon, Saturn and the Sun, or ⟨any⟩ malefics, in the 7th (asta, the setting place) — a blow to the teeth.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: candra-arki-arkāḥ enumerates three: the Moon, Saturn (arki) and the Sun (arka). The two epithets are one akṣara apart and are easily collapsed; the plural ending confirms three subjects, not two.
सप्तमेशाद्धने राहौ स्थूलदन्तः ।
saptameśāddhane rāhau sthūladantaḥ |
Rāhu in the 2nd from the lord of the 7th — thick teeth.
धनारीशौ युतौ सपापौ दन्तरोगी ।
dhanārīśau yutau sapāpau dantarogī |
The lords of the 2nd and the 6th joined together and accompanied by a malefic — ⟨the native is⟩ diseased in the teeth.
सुतेऽङ्गे राहौ दन्तुरो दन्तरोगी वा।
sute'ṅge rāhau danturo dantarogī vā|
Rāhu in the 5th ⟨or⟩ in the 1st (aṅga) — ⟨the native has⟩ protruding teeth, or is diseased in the teeth.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The Sanskrit sets सुते and अङ्गे side by side with no वा between them, and one Rāhu cannot occupy both houses; the disjunction is therefore supplied and marked. The वा that the sūtra does print governs the result — protruding teeth OR disease of the teeth.
शकुबुजीयुतौ दिवा तुर्यगे शुक्रे च हस्तनाशः।
śakubujīyutau divā turyage śukre ca hastanāśaḥ|
Saturn (śa), Mars (ku), Mercury (bu) or Jupiter (jī) conjoined ⟨with Venus⟩, by day, and Venus in the 4th (turya) — destruction of the hand.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. The earlier note said "शकुबुजी resolves to no word" and refused. It is not one word: it is a four-member abbreviated list, श / कु / बु / जी, the clipped heads of śani, kuja, budha and jīva. The 1941 edition's facing English at dli2015-32366_djvu.txt L5067-5069 states the same claim and names those four grahas in that order, as ALTERNATIVES — which is why the verb stays dual युतौ: Venus and whichever one is present. It also fixes the birth as diurnal and Venus in the 4th. The 1914 exemplar prints the same cluster at its own ॥३२७॥ (sharma-1914-hindi__dli-406051_djvu.txt L4623), so the abbreviation is the author's, not the scanner's. The mūla is left as it stands: it is not corrupt.
शन्यारौ राहुमुखे चारिगौ हस्तनाशः ।
śanyārau rāhumukhe cārigau hastanāśaḥ |
Saturn and Mars at Rāhu's mouth and gone to the 6th — destruction of the hand.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: rāhu-mukhe, 'at Rāhu's mouth' — the position immediately ahead of Rāhu, into which he is held to swallow. The phrase is kept literal rather than resolved to a house number, because it is not a house. अरिगौ is read as the 6th house, matching this chapter's usual sense of ari; the word can also mean an enemy's sign, and 329 uses द्वेष्यर्क्षे for that.
द्वेष्यर्क्षे मन्दे शुक्रयुते हस्तनाशः ।
dveṣyarkṣe mande śukrayute hastanāśaḥ |
Saturn in an inimical sign and joined with Venus — destruction of the hand.
मन्देन्द्वर्काः षष्ठाष्टमगा हस्तपीडा।
mandendvarkāḥ ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamagā hastapīḍā|
Saturn, the Moon and the Sun gone to the 6th and the 8th — affliction of the hands.
तुर्येऽङ्गेशे वक्रभेऽल्यंशे कुब्जः।
turye'ṅgeśe vakrabhe'lyaṃśe kubjaḥ|
⟨When⟩ the lord of the body ⟨the lagna⟩ is in the fourth, in a sign of Mars ⟨vakra⟩ and in the aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ of Scorpio — ⟨the native is⟩ a hunchback.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: वक्र here is Mars (the graha), not 'retrograde': vakra-bha = 'a sign of Mars', i.e. Aries or Scorpio, and the following अल्यंश (ali-aṃśa, Scorpio navāṃśa) narrows it. अङ्ग = the 1st house/body, so अङ्गेश = the lagna lord. अंश is taken as navāṃśa, the ordinary sense of the bare word in this text.
रन्ध्रे स्थिरे ज्ञेज्यशुक्राः कठिनचित्तः।
randhre sthire jñejyaśukrāḥ kaṭhinacittaḥ|
Mercury, Jupiter and Venus in the eighth ⟨randhra⟩, ⟨that house being⟩ a fixed sign — ⟨the native is⟩ hard of heart.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: ज्ञ = Mercury, इज्य = Jupiter, शुक्र = Venus (GLOSSARY). स्थिरे agrees with रन्ध्रे: the 8th house is itself a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius).
सुखे क्रूरे क्रूरान्विते सुखेशे विरुद्धचित्तः।
sukhe krūre krūrānvite sukheśe viruddhacittaḥ|
A malefic in the fourth ⟨sukha⟩, and the lord of the fourth joined by a malefic — ⟨the native is⟩ of a contrary mind.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: सुख = the 4th house. क्रूर is rendered 'malefic' per GLOSSARY, not 'cruel'. विरुद्धचित्त is a mind set against — contrary, perverse — not merely 'moody'.
रन्ध्रगौ शुक्रारौ वाताण्डवृद्धिः।
randhragau śukrārau vātāṇḍavṛddhiḥ|
Venus and Mars placed in the eighth ⟨randhra⟩ — enlargement of the testicles from wind ⟨vātāṇḍa-vṛddhi, scrotal swelling⟩.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: वृद्धि here is literal enlargement of a body part, not the prosperity of a bhāva; वात names the doṣa, so the swelling is classed as the vātaja kind of aṇḍa-vṛddhi.
भौमर्क्षगौ शुक्रारौ वाताण्डवृद्धिः ।
bhaumarkṣagau śukrārau vātāṇḍavṛddhiḥ |
Venus and Mars placed in a sign of Mars ⟨bhauma⟩ — enlargement of the testicles from wind.
इन्द्वच्छौ भौमर्क्षगौ मन्देज्यदृष्टौ कललजाण्डवृद्धिः ।
indvacchau bhaumarkṣagau mandejyadṛṣṭau kalalajāṇḍavṛddhiḥ |
The Moon and Venus ⟨accha⟩ placed in a sign of Mars, aspected by Saturn and Jupiter — enlargement of the testicles arising from fluid ⟨kalala⟩.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अच्छ (accha) is this text's own name for VENUS, ruled 2026-09-08 and recorded on A.37, A.38, A.50, A.54, A.56 and A.65, where the book defines it six times over. The earlier note here said accha "is not a standard graha name" and could not exclude अर्क (the Sun) for the same akṣaras. Both statements are now superseded: the 1941 plate at page index 88 prints भान्वच्छयुतौ at C.244 with the facing English "conjoined with the Sun and Venus", so the printing sets अच्छ BESIDE भानु and the two are different words. इन्द्वच्छौ here is indu + accha, the Moon and Venus. कलल is the watery first stage of the embryo, hence 'fluid-born' — the hydrocele proper, as against the vātaja swelling of 334-335.
सगुलिकेंशे ज्ञमात्रदृष्टे स्थूलाण्डः ।
sagulikeṃśe jñamātradṛṣṭe sthūlāṇḍaḥ |
⟨A graha⟩ in an aṃśa together with Gulika, aspected by Mercury alone — ⟨the native has⟩ gross ⟨enlarged⟩ testicles.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: सगुलिकेंशे is read as सगुलिकांशे ('in an aṃśa together with Gulika'); the printed ें is one of this OCR's akṣara-level slips. An alternative parse सगुलिकेशे ('the lord ⟨of the 8th⟩ together with Gulika') is grammatically available and would keep the subject of 334 running. Either way the occupant is unexpressed in the Sanskrit and is supplied here. ज्ञमात्रदृष्टे is exclusive: aspected by Mercury and by nothing else.
पूर्णेन्द्वारौ षष्ठे जङ्घाक्षतिः।
pūrṇendvārau ṣaṣṭhe jaṅghākṣatiḥ|
The full Moon and Mars in the sixth — injury to the shanks ⟨jaṅghā, the lower leg⟩.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: जङ्घा is the lower leg (shank), not the thigh; the ordinary modern Hindi sense of जंघा would move the limb, so the Sanskrit term is kept with a gloss.
शनीन्द्वारा व्यये जङ्घाक्षतिः।
śanīndvārā vyaye jaṅghākṣatiḥ|
Saturn, the Moon and Mars in the twelfth ⟨vyaya⟩ — injury to the shanks ⟨jaṅghā, the lower leg⟩.
झषाल्यजकर्कमृगान्यतमगौ इन्द्वर्कजौ सपापौ नवमपञ्चमगौ वा पङ्गुः।
jhaṣālyajakarkamṛgānyatamagau indvarkajau sapāpau navamapañcamagau vā paṅguḥ|
The Moon and Saturn ⟨arkaja, the Sun's son⟩ placed in any one of Pisces, Scorpio, Aries, Cancer or Capricorn, together with a malefic — or ⟨the two of them⟩ placed in the ninth and the fifth — ⟨the native is⟩ lame.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: The OCR prints झपा for झषा: jhaṣa (Pisces) + ali (Scorpio) + aja (Aries) + karka (Cancer) + mṛga (Capricorn), 'situated in any one of' (अन्यतमग). The ष→प misreading is the same one the edition profile documents at A.22 (विपा- for विषा-). The five signs and the two house numbers are as printed. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads झषाल्यजकर्कमृगान्यतमगौ; this sentence names झपा, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
षष्ठे सूर्यारमन्दाः पङ्गुः।
ṣaṣṭhe sūryāramandāḥ paṅguḥ|
The Sun, Mars and Saturn in the sixth — ⟨the native is⟩ lame.
मन्दारीशौ व्यये पापदृष्टौ पङ्गुः।
mandārīśau vyaye pāpadṛṣṭau paṅguḥ|
Saturn and the lord of the sixth ⟨ari⟩ in the twelfth, aspected by malefics — ⟨the native is⟩ lame.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अरि is the 6th house here, not 'the enemy' as a person (GLOSSARY): मन्दारीशौ = मन्द + अरीश, a dual of Saturn and the 6th lord.
रन्ध्राङ्केशौ सपापौ तुर्ये पङ्गुः।
randhrāṅkeśau sapāpau turye paṅguḥ|
The lords of the eighth ⟨randhra⟩ and of the ninth ⟨aṅka⟩, together with a malefic, in the fourth — ⟨the native is⟩ lame.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अङ्क is taken as the number-word for nine (bhūtasaṃkhyā), giving the 9th house — the printed reading is kept. If instead अङ्क stands for अङ्ग (a क/ग confusion this OCR is capable of), the pair would be the lords of the 8th and the lagna; that cannot be settled without the plates.
कर्के चन्द्रार्कजौ शुभादृष्टौ पङ्गुः ।
karke candrārkajau śubhādṛṣṭau paṅguḥ |
The Moon and Saturn ⟨arkaja⟩ in Cancer, unaspected by benefics — ⟨the native is⟩ lame.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: शुभादृष्टौ = शुभ + अदृष्टौ, 'not aspected by benefics' — a privative, not 'aspected by benefics'.
मन्दाच्छयुतौ शुभादृष्टौ पङ्गुः।
mandācchayutau śubhādṛṣṭau paṅguḥ|
Saturn and Venus ⟨accha⟩ conjoined, unaspected by benefics — ⟨the native is⟩ lame.
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: अच्छ (accha) is Venus — ruled 2026-09-08 on the six definitions in section A (A.37, A.38, A.50, A.54, A.56, A.65) and on the 1941 plate at page index 88, sūtras २४४ and २४७. The earlier note said the identification "carries the same uncertainty: it is not a standard graha synonym." It is not a standard synonym anywhere else; it is this book's own code-word, used 64 times, and the uncertainty is closed. मन्दाच्छयुतौ is manda + accha, Saturn and Venus.
दारेशे सौरे सपापे पङ्गुः ।
dāreśe saure sapāpe paṅguḥ |
When the lord of the seventh ⟨dāra⟩ is Saturn ⟨saura⟩ and is joined by a malefic — ⟨the native is⟩ lame.
2 notes on this verse
- About this edition: The printing closes this section with its colophon, which carries no number and so is not a sūtra: “॥ इति प्रथमविवेकः॥”
- About this edition: The three locatives दारेशे सौरे सपापे are appositional, so सौर identifies the 7th lord as Saturn; a reading 'the 7th lord in a sign of Saturn' is possible but would want a सौरभे. The printing closes the section after this sūtra with an unnumbered colophon, ॥ इति प्रथमविवेकः ॥, which is not itself a sūtra and is not rendered.
