Jātaka Tattva

जातकतत्त्व

Mahādeva (Pāṭhaka lineage, Ratlam; 1842–1888) · Nineteenth century — first published 1871, the author’s completion chronogram falls in 1874 · jataka

On the dating: Often shelved with the classics; it is a systematized 19th-century digest of them, and our lineage counting treats it as such.

What this text is

Aphoristic natal rules (tattvas) — a prized 19th-century systematization of the classical corpus.

Natal sūtras arranged by topic: planets, houses, yogas, women’s charts, longevity.

Its role in this app

Digest corroboration for planets-in-houses, house-lords, yogas and women’s-chart material — counted as digest, never as an independent classical lineage, precisely because of its date.

The text itself

Every chapter of the Jātaka Tattva is here. We have not established how long the work is, so we cannot say this is all of it. The Sanskrit of all 17 lettered sections (2,277 sūtras) is here, ingested from ONE encoded source, and every one of the 2,277 now carries an English and a Hindi rendering. Two things a reader must know about the shape of these files. (1) THE WORK IS IN SŪTRAS, NOT VERSE: Mahādeva writes prose aphorisms, there is no metre and no ॥N॥ marker anywhere in the book, and a "verse" record here holds one sūtra. (2) A "CHAPTER" HERE IS THE PRINTING'S OWN LETTERED SECTION, and the chapter number is that letter's place in the alphabet — A=1 … H=8, K=11 … N=14, P=16 … T=20 — so chapters 9, 10 and 15 are ABSENT BY DESIGN, exactly as the 1941 edition skips the letters I, J and O. Nothing is missing there. The seventeen sections group into five tattvas: Sañjñā (A), Sūtikā (B), Prakīrṇa (C–R, itself thirteen vivekas), Strījātaka (S) and Daśā (T); the book's own English index cites a sūtra as letter-plus-number, e.g. G—216. The tier is still 'etext' — every mūla in this book stands on that one encoded source — so the app may say "our source reads…", naming the source, and may not say "the text reads…". That is no longer for want of evidence. On 2026-09-08 the plates of the 1941 printing were opened for the first time (page indices 22, 23, 24, 117, 118, 168 and 171, with crops to 14×), and a SECOND EXEMPLAR was weighed against ours at six places — Śrīnivāsa Mahādeva Śarmā's edition of 1914 with its Hindi bhāṣā-ṭīkā, printed by the author's own son twenty-seven years before Sastri, held at .tmp/hunt-2026-09-08/jataka-tattva/. Those six disagreements are this text's first adjudication rows, and three of them matter: the 1914 NUMBERS the opening invocation and the closing aphorism that the 1941 leaves unnumbered, so the count of 2,277 sūtras is exemplar-relative and the 1914 would give a different one; and in section G the two exemplars TRANSPOSE two thematic blocks, so the citation G—16 does not point at the same sūtra in the two editions. Lifting the tier needs that collation run over the whole book; it does not need another book. The Devanāgarī is OCR and errs at the akṣara level. Do not trust a number in this sentence — count the fields: as of 2026-09-08, 13 sūtras carry an explicit `damage` note, NO rendering any longer tells the reader that a word could not be read (the last five — C.321, C.327, G.14, G.143, R.69 — were closed on 2026-09-08 against the 1941 facing English and the 1914 exemplar), and, since the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20, ALL 2,277 sūtras carry a `revisions[]` entry recording what was decided about them and why. Two of those five closures name a graha the witnesses give while leaving the printed akṣaras open, and say so on the verse: G.143's गुगै is rendered as गुरौ (Jupiter) with no plate behind it, and C.129's first akṣara is filed as a discrepancy row rather than corrected. We have NOT established how long this work is and this is not an oversight: the 1941's own CONTENTS lists its five tattvas by PAGE and gives no sūtra count, the 1914's विषयानुक्रमणिका is a subject index by page, and both editions close with a benediction rather than a granthāgra. Neither book states its own length, so `coverage.expectedVerses` stays null. 2277 of this text's 2277 verses carry an English translation; 17 of 17 chapters are begun or finished (1–8, 11–14, 16–20). We have NOT established how long this work is, so we cannot say whether this is all of it. The Sanskrit is tier 'etext': one encoded source, machine-parsed, with no plate read and 17 chapter(s) carrying an adjudication ledger. The app may say "our source reads…", naming the source; it may not say "the text reads…".

2277 verses in the original Sanskrit with our own English translation, which is made from that Sanskrit and not adapted from any existing translation. Machine-parsed from ebharatisampat.in e-text (etexts/ebharati/jataka-tattva.md) by scripts/corpus/ingest-etext.mjs on 2026-09-03. Segmentation rule: Section boundary = a bold line opening with the printing's own indicative letter, '**<A-T>. [Roman numeral] <Devanāgarī name>', which fires exactly seventeen times and in alphabetical order; the letter is required to carry Devanāgarī on the same line, which is what keeps the rule off the English contents page that prints the same seventeen letters. Each section is closed by a colophon 'इति …विवेकः' or 'इति …तत्वम्' (eighteen of them, one per section plus one in R closing the whole third tattva); the parse asserts that headings and colophons strictly alternate, that no section is without one and that no sūtra follows a section's colophon, so the two delimiters cross-check each other. The colophon regex matches इति OR इत्य, because sandhi gives two of them इत्यष्टमविवेकः / इत्येकादशविवेकः and an इति-anchored rule silently loses sections L and P's closing marks. CHAPTER NUMBER = the indicative letter's position in the Latin alphabet (A=1 … T=20), never its position in the file; 9, 10 and 15 are absent because the printing does not use I, J or O. Sūtra boundary = the line's own opening numeral. One sūtra is one line: 2,277 of them, each closing with a daṇḍa except four that are enumerated below, and none continued onto a second line. The number's separator is READ rather than required, because eight sūtras print a comma or nothing where the other 2,269 print a full stop, three are not bolded and one is numbered with a Latin '3'; a rule tuned to the tidy majority loses all eight, and seven of the eight would leave a hole in the numbering indistinguishable from a sūtra the edition never printed. Those eight are recomputed by the parse and their count asserted, and each carries a note. NOTHING IS RENUMBERED. Four sites print a number that is not the position's ordinal (D at 85, G at 42, G at 49, R at 47), each one digit from the expected value and so most likely an OCR slip; the printed number stands, because it is what the book's own index cites, and both members of each resulting duplicate pair carry a note saying what happened. Every other position in every section prints its own ordinal, and the parse throws if a fifth such site appears or one of these four goes away. WHAT IS DISCARDED, AND THE PROOF THAT NOTHING SANSKRIT WAS: the English translation and the modern English notes are dropped in full — they are in copyright and are not the mūla — but the parse then asserts that EVERY substantially-Devanāgarī line in the body was consumed as a heading, a colophon or a sūtra, or else appears in an enumerated table of eleven unnumbered lines. Of those eleven, four are Sanskrit quoted by the translator from other works (a Sārāvalī couplet, Bhagavadgītā 11.19, a reference to the Mohamudgara) and are dropped; the other seven are the author's own unnumbered text — the maṅgala-śloka opening the Prakīrṇa Tattva, two rubrics inside it, one aphorism in sūtra form printed after T.48 with no number, and the two benedictory verses closing the book. Those seven are NOT ingested as verses, because none of them has a number and a number may not be invented; each is recorded verbatim in an 'edition' note on the adjacent numbered sūtra, so no syllable is lost and no citation is manufactured. Each section's closing colophon is likewise recorded on its last sūtra. Everything after the book's own closer '॥ समाप्तश्चायं ग्रन्थः ॥' is appendix (two horoscopes, verses quoted from the Bṛhat Jātaka and the Uttara Kālāmṛta) and is not part of the work. TEXT IS STORED AS THE SOURCE SETS IT. Markdown emphasis and backslash escapes are removed and whitespace is collapsed; nothing else. The 60 parenthesised numerals the edition inserts mid-compound into A.22 are kept, with a note, rather than stripped: they are the edition's own finding aid for the sixty ṣaṣṭyāṃśa names, and removing them would be an emendation made with no plate read.

Not yet independently audited. Every reading here was established and recorded by the process described above, but no fresh reader has re-derived these verses from the plates without seeing our record. When that was done for the first text we published, it found real errors — so treat this one as a first edition and check anything you intend to rely on. The evidence behind every verse is committed and readable.

541 reading disagreements were adjudicated and are recorded verse by verse. Every akṣara was legible.

Adhyāya 1 · A. I. सञ्ज्ञातत्त्वम्

श्री भुवनेश्वरी विजयते ।

śrī bhuvaneśvarī vijayate |

Śrī Bhuvaneśvarī is victorious.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The opening maṅgala of the work. Bhuvaneśvarī, 'Mistress of the worlds', is the author's iṣṭa-devatā; the edition's own English renders her 'the Goddess of the three worlds'.

श्रीगुरुगणेशाम्बाचरणान्नत्वा प्राचीनार्वाचीनहोरातन्त्रसारमुद्धृत्य महादेवो जातकतत्वं कुरुते ।

śrīgurugaṇeśāmbācaraṇānnatvā prācīnārvācīnahorātantrasāramuddhṛtya mahādevo jātakatatvaṃ kurute |

Having bowed to the feet of the venerable guru, of Gaṇeśa and of the Mother ⟨Ambā⟩, and having drawn out the essence of the ancient and the modern horā-treatises, Mahādeva composes the Jātaka-tattva.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: होरातन्त्र here = the treatises of horā-śāstra (genethlialogy) as a body, not horā the half-sign division of sūtra 9–10; the same word carries both senses in this text and the sense is fixed by प्राचीनार्वाचीन ('ancient and modern').

मस्तकमुखोरोहृदुदरकटिवस्तिलिङ्गोरुजानुजङ्घाङ्घ्रि मेषादितः कालाङ्गम् ।

mastakamukhorohṛdudarakaṭivastiliṅgorujānujaṅghāṅghri meṣāditaḥ kālāṅgam |

The head, the face, the chest, the heart, the belly, the hips, the lower belly ⟨bladder⟩, the genitals, the thighs, the knees, the shanks and the feet — from Meṣa onward — are the limbs of Kāla ⟨the Time-Person⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: the third limb prints मुखोगे where the sense and the count of twelve require मुखोरो (मुख + उरस्, the chest). Settled, not guessed: the edition's own facing English names the twelve as head, face, chest, heart, stomach, buttocks, abdomen, private parts, thighs, knees, shanks, feet. जङ्घा is kept as the shank (lower leg), not the thigh — ऊरु already holds the thigh two items earlier. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads मस्तकमुखोरोहृदुदरकटिवस्तिलिङ्गोरुजानुजङ्घाङ्घ्रि; this sentence names मुखोगे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मशुबुचरबुशुमगुशशगवो मेषादीशाः।

maśubucarabuśumaguśaśagavo meṣādīśāḥ|

Ma, śu, bu, ca, ra, bu, śu, ma, gu, śa, śa, ga — ⟨that is, Mars, Venus, Mercury, the Moon, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Saturn and Jupiter⟩ — are the lords of the rāśis beginning with Meṣa.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra is a syllable-code, not words: each akṣara is the initial of a graha name (म=मङ्गल, शु=शुक्र, बु=बुध, च=चन्द्र, र=रवि, गु=गुरु, श=शनि, ग=गुरु). Twelve syllables for twelve rāśis; the plural ending falls on the last (…शशगवः). The expansion given in ⟨ ⟩ is the edition's own and is the standard rulership scheme.

क्रूरसौम्यौ नृस्त्रियौ चरस्थिरद्विस्वभावाश्च मेषादेः ।

krūrasaumyau nṛstriyau carasthiradvisvabhāvāśca meṣādeḥ |

From Meṣa onward the ⟨rāśis are, in alternation,⟩ malefic and benefic, male and female; and ⟨in threes⟩ movable, fixed and dual.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: क्रूर/सौम्य are here predicated of rāśis, not grahas, and alternate with the odd/even count from Meṣa; rendered by the glossary's malefic/benefic to keep them checkable against the same words used of grahas later in the text. The edition's own English has 'fierce and auspicious'.

सिंहादिचतुष्कयुग्मकुम्भाः शीर्षोदयाः मीन उभयोदयः शेषाः पृष्ठोदया।

siṃhādicatuṣkayugmakumbhāḥ śīrṣodayāḥ mīna ubhayodayaḥ śeṣāḥ pṛṣṭhodayā|

The four beginning with Siṃha ⟨Siṃha, Kanyā, Tulā, Vṛścika⟩, together with Mithuna and Kumbha, are head-rising; Mīna rises both ways; the rest are back-rising.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: युग्म ('the pair') is Mithuna. Six head-rising signs result — Mithuna, Siṃha, Kanyā, Tulā, Vṛścika, Kumbha — Mīna both-rising, and the remaining five (Meṣa, Vṛṣabha, Karka, Dhanus, Makara) back-rising.

विमिथुनशीर्षोदया दिने शेषा रात्रौ बलिनः ।

vimithunaśīrṣodayā dine śeṣā rātrau balinaḥ |

The head-rising ⟨signs⟩, excepting Mithuna, are strong by day; the rest ⟨are strong⟩ by night.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The initial वि is read as वि⟨ना⟩, 'excepting' — settled by the edition's own facing English, 'The Sirshodaya signs excepting Mithuna'. The exception matters: it puts Mithuna with the night-strong signs although it is head-rising by sūtra 6.

देहधनसोत्थमात्रात्मजारिस्त्रीमृतिधर्मकर्मलाभव्यया लग्नाद्भावाः ।

dehadhanasotthamātrātmajāristrīmṛtidharmakarmalābhavyayā lagnādbhāvāḥ |

Body ⟨deha⟩, wealth ⟨dhana⟩, the co-born ⟨sahottha, the brother⟩, mother ⟨mātṛ⟩, offspring ⟨ātmaja⟩, enemy ⟨ari⟩, wife ⟨strī⟩, death ⟨mṛti⟩, dharma, action ⟨karma⟩, gain ⟨lābha⟩ and loss ⟨vyaya⟩ — these are the bhāvas from the lagna onward.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: सोत्थ printed for सहोत्थ (3rd), and अरित्री for अरिस्त्री (6th + 7th, the स lost in the ligature). Both settled by the edition's own facing English, which lists Sottha … Ari, Stri. The names run 1–12 in order from the lagna.

गृहहोराद्रेष्काणनवांशद्वादशांशत्रिंशांशाः षड्वर्गाः।

gṛhahorādreṣkāṇanavāṃśadvādaśāṃśatriṃśāṃśāḥ ṣaḍvargāḥ|

The gṛha ⟨the whole sign⟩, horā, dreṣkāṇa, navāṃśa, dvādaśāṃśa and triṃśāṃśa are the six vargas ⟨ṣaḍvarga⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: होरा here is the half-sign (1/2), the division, not the ascendant; the divisions are 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/9, 1/12 and 1/30 of a rāśi. This text spells the decanate द्रेष्काण.

समे चन्द्रार्कयोर्विषमे व्यत्ययेन होरा।

same candrārkayorviṣame vyatyayena horā|

In an even ⟨rāśi⟩ the horās are of the Moon and the Sun ⟨in that order⟩; in an odd ⟨rāśi⟩ by reversal.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra states the even-sign case and leaves the odd to be inferred by व्यत्यय (reversal): odd sign — first half Sun, second half Moon.

स्वेषुनवर्क्षेशा द्रेष्काणपाः ।

sveṣunavarkṣeśā dreṣkāṇapāḥ |

The lords of the sign itself, of the fifth ⟨iṣu⟩ and of the ninth are the lords of the dreṣkāṇas.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: इषु ('arrow') is the number-word for five. The three drekkāṇas of any sign are thus lorded by the lords of that sign, of the 5th from it and of the 9th from it.

चरे भे स्वस्मात् स्थिरे नवमभात् द्विस्वभावे पञ्चमभान्नवांशाः।

care bhe svasmāt sthire navamabhāt dvisvabhāve pañcamabhānnavāṃśāḥ|

In a movable sign the navāṃśas ⟨are reckoned⟩ from itself; in a fixed sign from the ninth sign; in a dual sign from the fifth sign.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: पश्चम printed for पञ्चम. The numbers ninth and fifth are confirmed by the edition's own facing English. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पञ्चमभान्नवांशाः; this sentence names पश्चम, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

स्वभाद् द्वादशांशाः ।

svabhād dvādaśāṃśāḥ |

The dvādaśāṃśas ⟨are reckoned⟩ from the sign itself.

समे शुक्रज्ञेज्यार्किकुजानां पञ्चाद्र्यष्टशरेषवस्त्रिंशांशा विषमेऽन्यथा।

same śukrajñejyārkikujānāṃ pañcādryaṣṭaśareṣavastriṃśāṃśā viṣame'nyathā|

In an even ⟨sign⟩ the triṃśāṃśas are of Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars ⟨in that order⟩, of five, seven, eight, five and five ⟨degrees⟩; in an odd ⟨sign⟩ otherwise ⟨that is, reversed — five, five, eight, seven and five, of Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The degrees are number-words: पञ्च (5) + अद्रि (7, 'mountains') + अष्ट (8) + शर (5, 'arrows') + इषु (5, 'arrows') = 5, 7, 8, 5, 5. The OCR prints पश्चाद्यष्टशरेषवः for पञ्चाद्र्यष्टशरेषवः, losing the र् of अद्रि; without it the seven disappears and the total no longer makes thirty. The edition's own facing English gives 5, 7, 8, 5, 5 for the even sign and 5, 5, 8, 7, 5 for the odd, confirming the reading.

षड्वर्गा एव सप्तमांशसहिताः सप्तवर्गाः।

ṣaḍvargā eva saptamāṃśasahitāḥ saptavargāḥ|

Those very six vargas, together with the saptamāṃśa, are the seven vargas ⟨saptavarga⟩.

विषमे स्वस्मात् समे सप्तमात् सप्तमांशः।

viṣame svasmāt same saptamāt saptamāṃśaḥ|

In an odd ⟨sign⟩ the saptamāṃśa ⟨is reckoned⟩ from itself; in an even ⟨sign⟩ from the seventh.

सप्तवर्गा दशांशषोडशांशषष्ट्यंशयुताः दशवर्गाः ।

saptavargā daśāṃśaṣoḍaśāṃśaṣaṣṭyaṃśayutāḥ daśavargāḥ |

The seven vargas, joined with the daśāṃśa, the ṣoḍaśāṃśa and the ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, are the ten vargas ⟨daśavarga⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: षष्ट्यश printed for षष्ट्यंश (the anusvāra lost); the same division is spelled षष्ट्यंश correctly in sūtras 20 and 22. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads दशांशषोडशांशषष्ट्यंशयुताः; this sentence names षष्ट्यश, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

ओजे स्वस्मात् समे नवमाद्दशमांशः ।

oje svasmāt same navamāddaśamāṃśaḥ |

In an odd ⟨sign⟩ the daśamāṃśa ⟨the tenth part⟩ ⟨is reckoned⟩ from itself; in an even ⟨sign⟩ from the ninth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ओज is the synonym of विषम, 'odd', used in sūtras 14 and 16. दशमांश here names the same division that sūtra 17 called दशांश.

चरेऽजाद्याः स्थिरे सिंहाद्या द्विस्वभावे चापाद्याः षोडशांशाः ।

care'jādyāḥ sthire siṃhādyā dvisvabhāve cāpādyāḥ ṣoḍaśāṃśāḥ |

In a movable ⟨sign⟩ the ṣoḍaśāṃśas begin from Aja ⟨Meṣa⟩; in a fixed ⟨sign⟩ from Siṃha; in a dual ⟨sign⟩ from Cāpa ⟨Dhanus⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अज ('the ram') is Meṣa and चाप ('the bow') is Dhanus. The scheme is self-consistent: sixteen parts from Meṣa run Meṣa to Karka, so a movable sign's ṣoḍaśāṃśas begin and end in movable signs, and likewise for fixed and dual — a point the edition's own commentary makes.

स्वभात् षष्ट्यंशः ।

svabhāt ṣaṣṭyaṃśaḥ |

The ṣaṣṭyaṃśa ⟨is reckoned⟩ from the sign itself.

यादिस्वोच्चाधिमित्रवर्गः पारिजातोत्तमगोपुरसिंहासनपारावतदेवलोकैरावतवैशेषिकसञ्ज्ञः क्रमात् ।

yādisvoccādhimitravargaḥ pārijātottamagopurasiṃhāsanapārāvatadevalokairāvatavaiśeṣikasañjñaḥ kramāt |

⟨A graha holding⟩ two or more vargas of its own ⟨sign⟩, of exaltation or of a great friend is named, in order, Pārijāta, Uttama, Gopura, Siṃhāsana, Pārāvata, Devaloka, Airāvata and Vaiśeṣika.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two OCR points, both settled by the edition's own facing English. (a) यादि is द्व्यादि, 'from two upward' — the English reads 'two or more benefic Vargas'; a lone यादि is not a word here. (b) पागवत is पारावत — the English glosses it पारावत-Paravata. Eight names, and the edition numbers them (1)–(8) itself, so they answer to two, three … nine vargas; no ninth name (Brahmaloka in the parallel lists) stands in this printing. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पारिजातोत्तमगोपुरसिंहासनपारावतदेवलोकैरावतवैशेषिकसञ्ज्ञः; this sentence names पागवत, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

2 notes on this verse
  • About this edition: The edition inserts its own running enumeration (१)…(६०) into this sūtra as it lists the sixty ṣaṣṭyāṃśa names, and the numerals fall INSIDE compounds — 'वरुणे (१३) न्द्र (१४)' is the single word वरुणेन्द्र split by two of them. They are the edition's finding aid, not syllables of the aphorism, and are kept because removing sixty runs of characters from a printed line is an emendation and no plate has been read. Read across them. This sūtra is also the best control on the OCR available in the book, since the facing English names the same sixty items and disagrees with the Sanskrit at several of them.
  • About this edition: The numerals (१)…(६०) are the edition's own finding aid and fall INSIDE compounds — वरुणे (१३) न्द्र (१४) is वरुण + इन्द्र split by two of them, and likewise कालाहि, विषाग्नि, देवार्द्र, सुधामृत, वंशक्षयोत्पात, दंष्ट्राकरालेन्दुमुख, शुभाशुभ, भ्रमणेन्दुरेखा. Names are given here in their resolved forms and the numerals kept where the printing puts them. Two OCR misreadings are corrected against the edition's own facing English, which names the same sixty: गक्षम (2) is राक्षस/Rakshasa, and विपा (9) is विष/Visha — neither printed form is a word. Two are NOT corrected and are left as the mūla shows them: चन्द्र-अमृत (17) and मृदु-कोमल (20) are hyphenated doublets in the OCR where the facing English reads simply Chandra (17) and Mridu (20); whether the printing carries the longer form or the OCR has pulled in a gloss cannot be decided without the plate. Repetitions in the list are genuine — Ghora, Kāla, Nāśa, Viṣa, Mṛdu, Śītala and Sudhā each recur, in both the Sanskrit and the English. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads राक्षस for गक्षम; विषा for विपा, 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.]

लग्नाम्ब्वस्तदशमानि केन्द्राणि ।

lagnāmbvastadaśamāni kendrāṇi |

The lagna, the ambu ⟨the 4th⟩, the asta ⟨the 7th⟩ and the tenth are the kendras.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अम्बु ('water') is the 4th house and अस्त ('the setting place') the 7th; the sūtra names two of the four angles by epithet and two by number.

स्वायाष्टमात्मजाः पणफराः ।

svāyāṣṭamātmajāḥ paṇapharāḥ |

The sva ⟨the 2nd⟩, the āya ⟨the 11th⟩, the eighth and the ātmaja ⟨the 5th⟩ are the paṇapharas.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: स्व here is the 2nd house (one's own, wealth), not the ascendant; the edition's own facing English reads 'The 2nd, 11th, 8th and 5th'. The order in the sūtra is 2, 11, 8, 5, not the ascending 2, 5, 8, 11.

त्र्यरिधर्मान्त्या आपोक्लिमाः।

tryaridharmāntyā āpoklimāḥ|

The tri ⟨the 3rd⟩, the ari ⟨the 6th⟩, the dharma ⟨the 9th⟩ and the antya ⟨the 12th⟩ are the āpoklimas.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अरि is the 6th house here, not the enemy as a person; अन्त्य ('the last') is the 12th.

त्र्यायखारय उपचयाः ।

tryāyakhāraya upacayāḥ |

The tri ⟨the 3rd⟩, the āya ⟨the 11th⟩, the kha ⟨the 10th⟩ and the ari ⟨the 6th⟩ are the upacayas.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ख ('sky') is the 10th house. The order is as the sūtra gives it — 3, 11, 10, 6 — and matches the edition's own facing English.

धर्मात्मजौ त्रिकोणौ।

dharmātmajau trikoṇau|

The dharma ⟨the 9th⟩ and the ātmaja ⟨the 5th⟩ are the two trikoṇas.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The dual त्रिकोणौ counts two, the lagna not being reckoned among them here.

तुर्याष्टमौ चतुरस्रौ ।

turyāṣṭamau caturasrau |

The turya ⟨the 4th⟩ and the eighth are the two caturasras.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: तुर्य ('the fourth') is the 4th house; चतुरस्र, 'four-cornered', is the square-house designation.

स्वास्तौ मारकौ।

svāstau mārakau|

The sva ⟨the 2nd⟩ and the asta ⟨the 7th⟩ are the two mārakas ⟨killers⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मारक is left at its weight: these are the death-inflicting houses. The edition's own commentary derives them as the 12th from the two āyuḥ-sthānas, the 8th and the 3rd.

स्वान्त्यौ नेत्रसञ्ज्ञौ ।

svāntyau netrasañjñau |

The sva ⟨the 2nd⟩ and the antya ⟨the 12th⟩ are called the two eyes ⟨netra⟩.

षष्ठाष्टमान्त्यास्त्रिका दुष्टाश्च ।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamāntyāstrikā duṣṭāśca |

The sixth, the eighth and the last ⟨the twelfth⟩ are the trika, and ⟨they too are⟩ evil.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: duṣṭāḥ ca — the 'ca' carries the predicate over from the preceding sūtra, so 'also/too' is supplied. The printed त्रिका stands for trikāḥ (nom. pl.).

कर्कालिझषान्त्यभागा ऋक्षसन्धयः।

karkālijhaṣāntyabhāgā ṛkṣasandhayaḥ|

The last portions of Cancer, Scorpio ⟨ali⟩ and Pisces ⟨jhaṣa⟩ are the ṛkṣa-sandhi ⟨the junctions of the asterisms⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: antya-bhāga is the final portion (the closing degrees) of the sign, not a whole division; this is the gaṇḍānta juncture. Rendered 'junctions of the asterisms' rather than 'sign junctions' because the term the text uses is ṛkṣa.

सिंहादिचतुष्कं दीर्घं कुम्भादिचतुष्कं ह्रस्वं शेषाः समाः।

siṃhādicatuṣkaṃ dīrghaṃ kumbhādicatuṣkaṃ hrasvaṃ śeṣāḥ samāḥ|

The set of four beginning with Leo ⟨Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio⟩ is long; the set of four beginning with Aquarius ⟨Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus⟩ is short; the rest are equal.

अर्को जीवः कुजः चन्द्रज्ञौ गुरुः मन्दारौ शुक्रः शनिः सूर्येज्यौ ज्ञार्केज्यमन्दाः जीवः शनिरिति क्रमात्तन्वादिकारकाः।

arko jīvaḥ kujaḥ candrajñau guruḥ mandārau śukraḥ śaniḥ sūryejyau jñārkejyamandāḥ jīvaḥ śaniriti kramāttanvādikārakāḥ|

The Sun ⟨1st⟩, Jupiter ⟨2nd⟩, Mars ⟨3rd⟩, the Moon and Mercury ⟨4th⟩, Jupiter ⟨5th⟩, Saturn and Mars ⟨6th⟩, Venus ⟨7th⟩, Saturn ⟨8th⟩, the Sun and Jupiter ⟨9th⟩, Mercury, the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn ⟨10th⟩, Jupiter ⟨11th⟩, Saturn ⟨12th⟩ — these, in order, are the kārakas ⟨significators⟩ of the bhāvas beginning with tanu ⟨the body, the first house⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Twelve items for twelve bhāvas; the house numbers are supplied, the text gives only 'tanvādi' (beginning with the body) and the sequence. mandārau = manda + ārau, a dual: Saturn and Mars together for the 6th.

कर्कघटैणझषालितुलाः सजलाः शेषाः शुष्काः ।

karkaghaṭaiṇajhaṣālitulāḥ sajalāḥ śeṣāḥ śuṣkāḥ |

Cancer, Aquarius, Capricorn ⟨eṇa⟩, Pisces, Scorpio and Libra are watery; the rest are dry.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: eṇa (the antelope) here names Capricorn, the sign otherwise called mṛga/makara. Libra is included among the watery signs as the text prints it; this is the edition's reading and is not the commonest list, so it is left standing.

क्षीणेन्द्वर्कयमारराहुशिखिनः पापास्तन्मात्रयुतो बुधश्च ।

kṣīṇendvarkayamārarāhuśikhinaḥ pāpāstanmātrayuto budhaśca |

The waned Moon, the Sun, Saturn ⟨yama⟩, Mars, Rāhu and Ketu ⟨śikhin⟩ are malefics; and so is Mercury, when joined with these alone.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tanmātra-yuta — 'joined with those only', i.e. Mercury turns malefic when his sole company is malefic. The Hindi keeps 'उन्हीं मात्र से युत', which holds the restrictive sense the English has to spell out.

मन्दज्ञौ क्लीबौ चन्द्राच्छौ स्त्रियौ शेषा नराः।

mandajñau klībau candrācchau striyau śeṣā narāḥ|

Saturn and Mercury are neuter; the Moon and Venus ⟨accha⟩ are female; the rest are male.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: accha ('clear, bright') is this text's standing epithet for Venus — cf. jñācchau in sūtras 38, 54 and 56, where the pairing with Mercury settles it.

चन्द्रार्केज्याः सात्विका ज्ञाच्छौ राजसौ शेषास्तामसाः।

candrārkejyāḥ sātvikā jñācchau rājasau śeṣāstāmasāḥ|

The Moon, the Sun and Jupiter are sāttvika; Mercury and Venus ⟨accha⟩ are rājasa; the rest are tāmasa.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints शेपा (śepā) where every parallel sūtra in this run reads शेषा (śeṣāḥ, 'the rest') — sūtras 35, 37, 39, 50, 56 all carry शेष in the same slot. Read as śeṣāḥ; the OCR misreading of ष as प is left in the source unrepaired. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शेषास्तामसाः; this sentence names शेपा and śepā, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

मेषगोमृगकन्याकर्कान्त्यतुलाः सूर्याद्युच्चभानि तत्सप्तमानि नीचभानि दशमतृतीयाष्टाविंशपञ्चदशपञ्चमसप्तविंशविंशांशा अर्कादीनां परमोच्चनीचभागाः।

Aries, Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo, Cancer, Pisces ⟨antya, the last sign⟩ and Libra are the exaltation signs of the Sun and the rest; the seventh from those are the debilitation signs. The tenth, the third, the twenty-eighth, the fifteenth, the fifth, the twenty-seventh and the twentieth degrees are the degrees of deepest exaltation and debilitation of the Sun and the rest.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Degrees checked against the mūla one by one: daśama 10, tṛtīya 3, aṣṭāviṃśa 28, pañcadaśa 15, pañcama 5, saptaviṃśa 27, viṃśa 20 — for the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn in that order. Two OCR slips in the source, both read through and neither repaired there: परमोचनीच drops one च of परमोच्च (paramocca), and विशांशा wants the anusvāra of विंशांशा (viṃśāṃśa, 'the twentieth degree'). [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads परमोच्चनीचभागाः and दशमतृतीयाष्टाविंशपञ्चदशपञ्चमसप्तविंशविंशांशा; this sentence names परमोचनीच and विशांशा, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

सिंहगोजाङ्गनाचापतुलघटाः सूर्यादीनां मूलत्रिकोणभानि ।

siṃhagojāṅganācāpatulaghaṭāḥ sūryādīnāṃ mūlatrikoṇabhāni |

Leo, Taurus, Aries ⟨ja, the goat⟩, Virgo ⟨aṅganā, the woman⟩, Sagittarius, Libra and Aquarius are the mūlatrikoṇa signs of the Sun and the rest.

स्वनवांशका राशयो वर्गोत्तमाः।

svanavāṃśakā rāśayo vargottamāḥ|

Signs ⟨standing⟩ in their own navāṃśa are vargottama.

पिङ्गलनेत्रो रक्तश्यामवर्णः पित्तप्रकृतिः समगात्रः प्रतापी अल्परोमवागर्कः।

piṅgalanetro raktaśyāmavarṇaḥ pittaprakṛtiḥ samagātraḥ pratāpī alparomavāgarkaḥ|

Tawny-eyed, of a red-and-dark complexion, bilious in constitution, even-limbed, majestic, sparing of hair and of speech — ⟨such is⟩ the Sun.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: alpa-roma-vāk: alpa governs both roma (hair) and vāc (speech). The Hindi keeps the compound intact as अल्परोम / अल्पवाक्, where English has to unfold it.

शुक्लः कृशो वर्तुलाङ्गो मेधावी मृदुवाक् शुभदृग् विवेकी वातकफात्मा चन्द्रः।

śuklaḥ kṛśo vartulāṅgo medhāvī mṛduvāk śubhadṛg vivekī vātakaphātmā candraḥ|

White, lean, round-limbed, intelligent, soft-spoken, of a pleasing gaze, discerning, of a windy-and-phlegmatic constitution — the Moon.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śubha-dṛś here is literal sight — the eye and its look in a bodily description — not dṛṣṭi in the technical sense of aspect (GLOSSARY row on दृष्टि).

दुष्टदृक् तरुणः कृशमध्यो रक्तसिताङ्गः पैत्तिकश्चञ्चलधीरुदारप्रताप्यारः।

duṣṭadṛk taruṇaḥ kṛśamadhyo raktasitāṅgaḥ paittikaścañcaladhīrudārapratāpyāraḥ|

Of an evil gaze, youthful, lean in the middle, of a body red and white, bilious, fickle of mind, of lofty valour — Mars.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: duṣṭa-dṛś, like śubha-dṛś in the preceding sūtra, is the physical look of the eye, not aspect. duṣṭa is left at its weight: 'evil', not 'fierce' or 'sharp'.

गद्गदवाग्धास्यशीलः सुधीर्दूर्वाश्यामाङ्गस्त्रिधातुः पुंश्चलो ज्ञः।

gadgadavāgdhāsyaśīlaḥ sudhīrdūrvāśyāmāṅgastridhātuḥ puṃścalo jñaḥ|

Of faltering speech, given to laughter, keen of wit, with a body dark-green as dūrvā grass, of the three humours, wanton — Mercury.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: gadgada is 'stammering, faltering, choked' — kept as printed, though descriptions of Mercury elsewhere give him clear speech. puṃścala is 'wanton, a libertine'; the Hindi keeps पुंश्चल itself, which holds both the sexual and the merely unsteady sense that English must choose between.

स्थूलो गौराङ्गः कफात्मा पिङ्गाक्षमूर्द्धन्यकचाभियुक्तो विद्वान् गुरुः।

sthūlo gaurāṅgaḥ kaphātmā piṅgākṣamūrddhanyakacābhiyukto vidvān guruḥ|

Stout, fair-limbed, phlegmatic, endowed with tawny eyes and ⟨tawny⟩ hair upon the head, learned — Jupiter.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: piṅga in piṅgākṣa-mūrdhanya-kaca is read as governing the head-hair as well as the eyes; 'tawny' is therefore supplied on the second member.

सुखी बली दर्शनीयवपुः सुलोचनः कृष्णकुटिलकेशः कामी वातकफात्मा श्यामः शुक्रः।

sukhī balī darśanīyavapuḥ sulocanaḥ kṛṣṇakuṭilakeśaḥ kāmī vātakaphātmā śyāmaḥ śukraḥ|

Happy, strong, of a comely body, fine-eyed, with black curling hair, lustful, of a windy-and-phlegmatic constitution, dark — Venus.

क्रियास्वपटुः कातराक्षः कृष्णः कृशदीर्घाङ्गो बृहद्दन्तो रूक्षतनूरुहो वातात्मा कठिनवाग् निन्द्यो मन्दः ।

kriyāsvapaṭuḥ kātarākṣaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ kṛśadīrghāṅgo bṛhaddanto rūkṣatanūruho vātātmā kaṭhinavāg nindyo mandaḥ |

Unskilful in his actions, of timorous eyes, black, of lean and long limbs, big-toothed, with coarse body-hair, windy in constitution, harsh of speech, contemptible — Saturn.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: nindya is 'blameworthy, to be censured'. Rendered 'contemptible' and not softened to 'unattractive' or 'ill-regarded'; the sūtra passes a verdict on the graha's nature, and it is the same word a text would use of a despised man.

अस्थिरक्तमज्जात्वग्वसाशुक्रस्नायूनि सूर्यादीनां धातवः।

asthiraktamajjātvagvasāśukrasnāyūni sūryādīnāṃ dhātavaḥ|

Bone, blood, marrow, skin, fat, semen and sinew are the dhātus of the Sun and the rest.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Seven dhātus against seven grahas in order: Sun bone, Moon blood, Mars marrow, Mercury skin, Jupiter fat, Venus semen, Saturn sinew.

सूर्यस्य मन्दाच्छौ रिपू ज्ञः समः शेषाः सुहृदः।

sūryasya mandācchau ripū jñaḥ samaḥ śeṣāḥ suhṛdaḥ|

For the Sun, Saturn and Venus ⟨accha⟩ are enemies; Mercury is neutral; the rest are friends.

चन्द्रस्य ज्ञार्कौ सुहृदौ शेषाः समाः ।

candrasya jñārkau suhṛdau śeṣāḥ samāḥ |

For the Moon, Mercury and the Sun are friends; the rest are neutral.

भौमस्य शुक्रार्की समौ ज्ञोऽरिः शेषाः सुहृदः ।

bhaumasya śukrārkī samau jño'riḥ śeṣāḥ suhṛdaḥ |

For Mars, Venus and Saturn ⟨arki⟩ are neutral; Mercury is an enemy; the rest are friends.

ज्ञस्येन्दुः शत्रुः शुक्रार्कौ मित्रे शेषाः समाः।

jñasyenduḥ śatruḥ śukrārkau mitre śeṣāḥ samāḥ|

For Mercury, the Moon is an enemy; Venus and the Sun are friends; the rest are neutral.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints शुक्राकौं (śukrākauṃ) for शुक्रार्कौ (śukrārkau, 'Venus and the Sun') — a dropped र् and a stray anusvāra. The dual mitre ('the two are friends') and the fixed doctrine of the following sūtras confirm the reading; the source is left unrepaired. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुक्रार्कौ; this sentence names शुक्राकौं and śukrākauṃ, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

जीवस्य ज्ञाच्छावरी समोऽर्कजः शेषा मित्राणि ।

jīvasya jñācchāvarī samo'rkajaḥ śeṣā mitrāṇi |

For Jupiter, Mercury and Venus ⟨accha⟩ are enemies; Saturn ⟨arkaja⟩ is neutral; the rest are friends.

शुक्रस्य ज्ञार्कजौ मित्रे कुजेज्यौ समौ शेषावरी ।

śukrasya jñārkajau mitre kujejyau samau śeṣāvarī |

For Venus, Mercury and Saturn ⟨arkaja⟩ are friends; Mars and Jupiter are neutral; the remaining two ⟨the Sun and the Moon⟩ are enemies.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śeṣāvarī = śeṣau + arī, a dual: the two that remain, the Sun and the Moon, are enemies. The duality is in the Sanskrit, the naming of the two is supplied.

मन्दस्य ज्ञाच्छौ सुहृदौ जीवः समः शेषाः शत्रवः ।

mandasya jñācchau suhṛdau jīvaḥ samaḥ śeṣāḥ śatravaḥ |

For Saturn, Mercury and Venus ⟨accha⟩ are friends; Jupiter is neutral; the rest are enemies.

अन्योन्यस्य पार्श्वत्रयगास्तत्काले मित्राणि शेषाः शत्रवः ।

anyonyasya pārśvatrayagāstatkāle mitrāṇi śeṣāḥ śatravaḥ |

⟨Grahas⟩ occupying the three ⟨signs⟩ on either side of one another are friends for that moment; the rest are enemies.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pārśva-traya-ga — 'going in the three on ⟨each⟩ side', i.e. the 2nd, 3rd and 4th and the 12th, 11th and 10th from a graha. tat-kāle ('at that time') marks this as the temporary relation, set against the fixed friendships of sūtras 50–56.

उभयथा मित्राण्यधिमित्राणि शत्रवस्त्वधिशत्रवो मित्रशत्रवः समा मित्रसमा मित्राणि शत्रुसमाः शत्रवः ।

ubhayathā mitrāṇyadhimitrāṇi śatravastvadhiśatravo mitraśatravaḥ samā mitrasamā mitrāṇi śatrusamāḥ śatravaḥ |

⟨Those that are⟩ friends in both ways are great friends; enemies ⟨in both ways⟩ are bitter enemies; friend-and-enemy are neutral; friend-and-neutral are friends; enemy-and-neutral are enemies.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ubhayathā ('in both ways') means by the fixed reckoning of 50–56 and the momentary one of 57 taken together; this sūtra is the five-fold compound relation. The Hindi keeps अधिमित्र / अधिशत्रु as terms, which the English has to gloss.

तृतीयदशमौ नवमपञ्चमौ चतुर्थाष्टमौ सप्तमं पादर्द्धितो ग्रहाः पश्यन्ति।

tṛtīyadaśamau navamapañcamau caturthāṣṭamau saptamaṃ pādarddhito grahāḥ paśyanti|

Grahas aspect the third and the tenth, the ninth and the fifth, the fourth and the eighth, and the seventh — by increments of a quarter ⟨a quarter, a half, three quarters and full respectively⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pādarddhitaḥ is read as pāda + ṛddhitaḥ ('increased by a quarter'), the sandhi a + ṛ giving ar — the one reading that makes the four-term sequence work: quarter, half, three-quarters, full. The four fractions themselves are not spelled out in the sūtra; they are supplied, and marked as supplied.

तृतीयदशमौ शनिः त्रिकोणं गुरुश्चतुरस्त्रं भौमश्च विशेषतः पूर्णं पश्यति ।

tṛtīyadaśamau śaniḥ trikoṇaṃ guruścaturastraṃ bhaumaśca viśeṣataḥ pūrṇaṃ paśyati |

Saturn ⟨aspects⟩ the third and the tenth, Jupiter the trikoṇa ⟨the fifth and the ninth⟩, and Mars the caturasra ⟨the fourth and the eighth⟩ — these, specially, with a full aspect.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The special aspects, set against the graded ones of sūtra 59. trikoṇa and caturasra are kept as terms and their house numbers supplied; caturasra ('four-cornered') names the 4th and 8th.

दिने वारारम्भादस्तकालो निश्यस्ततो वारप्रवेशकालान्तःस्ववारखण्डेन हतोऽष्टभक्तो लब्धं गुलिकेष्टकालः।

dine vārārambhādastakālo niśyastato vārapraveśakālāntaḥsvavārakhaṇḍena hato'ṣṭabhakto labdhaṃ gulikeṣṭakālaḥ|

By day, ⟨the interval⟩ from the commencement of the weekday ⟨sunrise⟩ up to the time of setting; by night, from setting up to the time of entry of the ⟨next⟩ weekday — multiplied by one's own weekday-segment and divided by eight, the quotient is the iṣṭa-kāla ⟨the required moment⟩ of Gulika.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The multiplier 'sva-vāra-khaṇḍa' is the segment-number assigned to the weekday in sūtra 63; the divisor eight is the eightfold division of the day and of the night. The two spans are the day-length and the night-length respectively.

तत्काललग्नतुल्यो गुलिकः।

tatkālalagnatulyo gulikaḥ|

Gulika is equal to the ascendant (lagna) ⟨rising⟩ at that time.

दिने अर्काद्रात्रौ ज्ञान्नगाङ्गपञ्चाब्धित्रिनेत्रेन्दुमिता गुलिकखण्डाः ।

dine arkādrātrau jñānnagāṅgapañcābdhitrinetrendumitā gulikakhaṇḍāḥ |

By day beginning from the Sun ⟨Sunday⟩, and by night from Mercury ⟨Wednesday⟩, the Gulika-segments measure seven, six, five, four, three, two ⟨and⟩ one.

  • About this edition: OCR reading. The file prints अर्काद्राज्ञौ (arkād rājñau, 'from the Sun, the two kings'), which is meaningless here; the required reading is अर्काद्रात्रौ (arkāt … rātrau, 'from the Sun … at night'), a single-akṣara misreading of the sort this e-text's profile declares. The remainder of the compound resolves as ज्ञात् + नग-अङ्ग-पञ्च-अब्धि-त्रि-नेत्र-इन्दु-मिताः = 'from Mercury: measured by 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1' (naga 7, aṅga 6, pañca 5, abdhi 4, tri 3, netra 2, indu 1). The two series check against each other: counting the eight day-parts from the weekday-lord, Saturn's part falls 7th on Sunday down to 1st on Saturday; counting the night-parts from the lord of the fifth weekday, the same series begins at Wednesday. 'mitā' for 'mitāḥ' is a further OCR slip. Settle both on the 1941 plates. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads अर्काद्रात्रौ; this sentence names अर्काद्राज्ञौ and rājñau, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

anyonyadṛṣṭau ekataradṛṣṭau anyonyasthānasthitāvekatra sthitau vā sambandho'vagantavyaḥ |

⟨When two grahas⟩ aspect one another, or one of the two aspects ⟨the other⟩, or they stand in each other's places ⟨exchanging signs⟩, or stand together in one place — a relation (sambandha) is to be understood.

मन्दार्काराः शुष्काश्चन्द्राच्छौ सजलौ जलर्क्षगौ ज्ञेज्यौ च ।

mandārkārāḥ śuṣkāścandrācchau sajalau jalarkṣagau jñejyau ca |

Saturn, the Sun and Mars are dry; the Moon and Venus (accha) are watery; and Mercury and Jupiter ⟨are watery too⟩ when placed in a watery ṛkṣa ⟨sign⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08. The earlier note said "'accha' (clear, pellucid) is not a standard graha-epithet — it may be an OCR slip … Settle on the plates." It was settled on the plates the same day, and this sūtra is one of the six the ruling rests on. 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, A.38 ज्ञाच्छौ राजसौ, A.50 सूर्यस्य मन्दाच्छौ रिपू, A.54 जीवस्य ज्ञाच्छावरी, A.56 मन्दस्य ज्ञाच्छौ सुहृदौ, A.65 चन्द्राच्छौ सजलौ — and each of the six is the standard table with Venus in the remaining slot. It was ruled and recorded across this corpus on 2026-09-08. It is also on the ink: the 1941 plate at page index 88 sets भान्वच्छयुतौ at C.244 and चन्द्राच्छौ at C.247, with the facing English "the Sun and Venus" and "the Moon and Venus". So the identification here is not by elimination: the word is the name. जलर्क्ष is read as a watery rāśi; ṛkṣa can also mean nakṣatra, and that remains open.

सर्वग्रहेभ्योऽधिकांशादिनाऽऽत्मकारकस्ततः क्रमेण न्यूनांशा अमात्यभ्रातृमातृपितृपुत्रज्ञातिदारकारकाः।

sarvagrahebhyo'dhikāṃśādinā''tmakārakastataḥ krameṇa nyūnāṃśā amātyabhrātṛmātṛpitṛputrajñātidārakārakāḥ|

The graha which, by degrees and ⟨minutes⟩ and so on, is greater than all the grahas is the ātmakāraka; thereafter, in order, those of successively fewer degrees are the kārakas of the minister (amātya), the brother (bhrātṛ), the mother (mātṛ), the father (pitṛ), the son (putra), the kinsman (jñāti) and the wife (dāra).

अंशशब्देनात्मकारकनवांशः।

aṃśaśabdenātmakārakanavāṃśaḥ|

By the word aṃśa ⟨in what follows⟩ the navāṃśa of the ātmakāraka is meant.

ओजर्क्षे क्रमाद्बालकुमारयुववृद्धमृताख्या अवस्थाः समर्क्षे व्यत्ययः।

ojarkṣe kramādbālakumārayuvavṛddhamṛtākhyā avasthāḥ samarkṣe vyatyayaḥ|

In an odd ṛkṣa ⟨sign⟩ the states (avasthās) are, in order, those named bāla ⟨infant⟩, kumāra ⟨boy⟩, yuva ⟨youth⟩, vṛddha ⟨aged⟩ and mṛta ⟨dead⟩; in an even sign the order is reversed.

द्वादशांशादंशषट्केऽवस्थितः पूर्णफलदः ।

dvādaśāṃśādaṃśaṣaṭke'vasthitaḥ pūrṇaphaladaḥ |

⟨A graha⟩ standing in the six degrees ⟨reckoned⟩ from the twelfth degree gives full result.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Read as the span 12°–18° of the sign, which straddles its midpoint. द्वादशांशात् could in principle be taken as 'from the dvādaśāṃśa (the twelfth division)', but the governing अंशषट्क ('a group of six degrees') makes the reckoning in degrees the natural sense.

बलं पद्धत्युक्तम् ।

balaṃ paddhatyuktam |

⟨Graha⟩ strength is as stated in the Paddhati.

वक्रग उच्चगो वा महाबली ।

vakraga uccago vā mahābalī |

A graha that is retrograde (vakra) or exalted is greatly strong.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वक्रग is 'gone into retrogression', not Mars — the glossary flags वक्र as carrying both senses.

स्वर्क्षतुङ्गमूलत्रिकोणगा नानिष्टफलदाः ।

svarkṣatuṅgamūlatrikoṇagā nāniṣṭaphaladāḥ |

Grahas standing in their own ṛkṣa ⟨sign⟩, in exaltation, or in mūlatrikoṇa do not give adverse results.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: MŪLA CORRECTED 2026-09-08 on the 1941 plate: the e-text read खर्क्ष, the printing sets स्वर्क्ष. This printing's स्व ligature closely resembles ख, and the e-text confuses the two in BOTH directions — so no blanket substitution is safe and each site is decided on the plate. Read at 1941 plate magnification: A.72 and A.76 print स्व where the e-text has ख, and G.54 prints ख where the e-text has स्व. Our English and Hindi were already right ('their own ṛkṣa' / 'स्वऋक्ष'); only the Sanskrit was wrong. Controls read on the plates themselves. (1) The 1941 sets its own gloss 'He is स्वस्थ-Swasttha' inside the English of page index 24 (printed 17), giving a labelled स्व glyph; (2) संख्या appears three times in A.74 on page index 22 (printed 15), giving a labelled ख glyph; the two are distinguishable at 8×. (3) Page index 168 (printed 161) carries BOTH forms — खेशे at ५४ and स्वर्क्ष at ५९ — on one plate. The facing English states the same claims and is compared on them, not quoted: at A.72 it names svakṣetra, exaltation and mūlatrikoṇa as the three dignities; at A.76 it glosses the opening state as exaltation and the next as the graha's own house, printing the labelled form स्वस्थ-Swasttha; at G.54 it puts the lord of the TENTH in the lagna and makes the native a poet, which the edition's own English index confirms under POET at G—54, 55.

गुरुपूर्णदृष्टो ग्रहो नानिष्टफलदः ।

gurupūrṇadṛṣṭo graho nāniṣṭaphaladaḥ |

A graha aspected with a full aspect by Jupiter (guru) does not give adverse results.

ग्रहर्क्षसङ्ख्या ग्रहसङ्ख्याहता पुनः ग्रहांशसङ्ख्याहता इष्टजन्मनक्षत्रलग्नसङ्ख्याभिर्युतार्कनष्टा शेषावस्था ।

graharkṣasaṅkhyā grahasaṅkhyāhatā punaḥ grahāṃśasaṅkhyāhatā iṣṭajanmanakṣatralagnasaṅkhyābhiryutārkanaṣṭā śeṣāvasthā |

The number of the graha's ṛkṣa, multiplied by the number of the graha, and again multiplied by the number of the graha's degrees, joined with the numbers of the iṣṭa ⟨ghaṭīs⟩, of the birth-nakṣatra and of the ascendant (lagna), and divided by arka ⟨twelve⟩ — the remainder is the avasthā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अर्क as a number-word is 12 (the twelve Ādityas), and नष्टा here is division with the remainder retained; the twelve is confirmed internally by the twelve avasthās enumerated in the next sūtra. ग्रहर्क्ष is read as the graha's nakṣatra, by the parallel with जन्मनक्षत्र in the same clause, though ṛkṣa can also mean rāśi. इष्ट is the iṣṭa-kāla, the time elapsed from sunrise in ghaṭīs.

शयनोपवेशननेत्रपाणिप्रकाशगमनागमनसभागमभोजननृत्यलिप्साकौतुकनिद्रा अवस्थाः।

Śayana ⟨lying down⟩, upaveśana ⟨sitting⟩, netrapāṇi ⟨hand at the eye⟩, prakāśa ⟨shining forth⟩, gamana ⟨going⟩, āgamana ⟨coming⟩, sabhā ⟨being in the assembly⟩, āgama ⟨arrival⟩, bhojana ⟨eating⟩, nṛtyalipsā ⟨eagerness to dance⟩, kautuka ⟨festive curiosity⟩ and nidrā ⟨sleep⟩ — ⟨these are the twelve⟩ avasthās.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The compound must yield exactly twelve members, since sūtra 74 divides by twelve. Two splits reach twelve: सभा + आगम with नृत्यलिप्सा as one member (adopted, and the received order of the śayanādi avasthās), or सभागम as one with नृत्य + लिप्सा as two. The mūla is unpointed and does not decide between them; the count is unaffected either way.

स्वोच्चगो दीप्तः स्वभगः स्वस्थो हितभगो हास्ययुक्तः शुभवर्गगः शान्तः स्फुरद्रश्मिः शक्तो मूढो लुप्तो नीचगो दीनः पापशत्रुभगः पीडितः।

⟨A graha⟩ gone to its own exaltation is dīpta ⟨blazing⟩; in its own portion, svastha ⟨at ease⟩; in a friend's portion, hāsya-yukta ⟨endowed with laughter⟩; in an auspicious ⟨benefic's⟩ varga, śānta ⟨tranquil⟩; with flashing rays, śakta ⟨capable⟩; when mūḍha ⟨combust⟩, lupta ⟨obliterated⟩; when debilitated, dīna ⟨wretched⟩; in the portion of a malefic or of an enemy ⟨graha⟩, pīḍita ⟨afflicted⟩.

  • About this edition: MŪLA CORRECTED 2026-09-08 on the 1941 plate: the e-text opened this sūtra खोच्चगो, the printing sets स्वोच्चगो. The plate settles it internally — the printing's first three words (स्वोच्च, स्वभग, स्वस्थ) all begin with the SAME glyph, and the e-text transcribed the first as ख and the other two as स्व. This printing's स्व ligature closely resembles ख, and the e-text confuses the two in BOTH directions — so no blanket substitution is safe and each site is decided on the plate. Read at 1941 plate magnification: A.72 and A.76 print स्व where the e-text has ख, and G.54 prints ख where the e-text has स्व. Our English and Hindi were already right; only the Sanskrit was wrong. Controls read on the plates themselves. (1) The 1941 sets its own gloss 'He is स्वस्थ-Swasttha' inside the English of page index 24 (printed 17), giving a labelled स्व glyph; (2) संख्या appears three times in A.74 on page index 22 (printed 15), giving a labelled ख glyph; the two are distinguishable at 8×. (3) Page index 168 (printed 161) carries BOTH forms — खेशे at ५४ and स्वर्क्ष at ५९ — on one plate. The facing English states the same claims and is compared on them, not quoted: at A.72 it names svakṣetra, exaltation and mūlatrikoṇa as the three dignities; at A.76 it glosses the opening state as exaltation and the next as the graha's own house, printing the labelled form स्वस्थ-Swasttha; at G.54 it puts the lord of the TENTH in the lagna and makes the native a poet, which the edition's own English index confirms under POET at G—54, 55.
  • About this edition: खोच्चगो is read as स्वोच्चगो ('gone to its own exaltation'), the same ख/स्व slip as at sūtra 72; the following स्वभगः स्वस्थः fixes it, since the second member of the list is the own-sign state and the first must therefore be the exaltation state. शत्रु here is the enemy graha, not the 6th house. The section closes after this sūtra with the printing's unnumbered colophon.

Adhyāya 2 · B. II. सूतिकातत्वम्

चन्द्रेणादृष्टेऽङ्गे पितुः परोक्षे जन्म ।

candreṇādṛṣṭe'ṅge pituḥ parokṣe janma |

When the lagna is unaspected by the Moon, the birth takes place out of the father's sight.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्ग (aṅga, 'the body') is this text's standing word for the lagna, and is so rendered throughout the section. परोक्ष is literally 'beyond the eye' — the father is not present at the birth; sūtras 2–3 then split that into 'absent though in his own country' and 'gone abroad'.

स्थिरेऽर्केऽष्टमाङ्कायान्त्ये चन्द्रेण चादृष्टेऽङ्गे स्वदेशस्थपितुः परोक्षं जन्म।

sthire'rke'ṣṭamāṅkāyāntye candreṇa cādṛṣṭe'ṅge svadeśasthapituḥ parokṣaṃ janma|

When the Sun is in a fixed sign in the 8th, the 9th (aṅka), the 11th (āya) or the 12th (antya), and the lagna is unaspected by the Moon, the birth takes place out of the sight of a father who is ⟨yet⟩ staying in his own country.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08. अष्टमाङ्कायान्त्ये is अष्टम + अङ्क + आय + अन्त्य = the 8th, the 9th, the 11th and the 12th. The shipped rendering read अङ्क as the lagna. अङ्क is the number-word for NINE (the digits are nine) and this book uses it that way throughout — Q.36's own note in this corpus already states it, and Q.37–Q.40 render the same list 'the 2nd, the 12th, the 9th (aṅka) and the 5th'. The 1941's facing English reads 'the 8th, 9th, 11th or 12th'.

चरेऽर्के तु प्राग्वज्जातस्य पितरि विदेशं गते जन्म ।

care'rke tu prāgvajjātasya pitari videśaṃ gate janma |

But when the Sun is in a movable sign, the rest being as before, the native's birth takes place while the father has gone abroad.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: प्राग्वत् 'as before' carries forward the conditions of B.2 — the Sun in those houses and the lagna unaspected by the Moon; only the sign-class changes, fixed to movable.

मन्देऽङ्गे वाऽस्ते भौमे पितुः परोक्षं जन्म ।

mande'ṅge vā'ste bhaume pituḥ parokṣaṃ janma |

When Saturn is in the lagna, or Mars in the 7th, the birth takes place out of the father's sight.

ज्ञाच्छान्तरे चन्द्रेऽपि ।

jñācchāntare candre'pi |

When the Moon too is in the interval between Mercury (jña) and Venus (accha), likewise ⟨the birth is out of the father's sight⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. ज्ञाच्छान्तरे is jña + accha + antare — 'in the interval between Mercury and Venus' — on the same hemming-in idiom this book uses at F.73 and B.146 (पापान्तरे, 'between malefics') and at D.66 (शुभान्तरे, 'between benefics'). 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. The earlier note here emended the word to ज्ञाच्चान्तरे ('from Mercury') and declared the far boundary of the interval unrecoverable; the boundary is Venus and it is printed. 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'.

भौमत्र्यंशे चन्द्रे पापलग्ने शुभाः स्वायगाः सर्पवेष्टितो जातः।

bhaumatryaṃśe candre pāpalagne śubhāḥ svāyagāḥ sarpaveṣṭito jātaḥ|

When the Moon is in a drekkāṇa of Mars, a malefic in the lagna, and benefics in the 2nd (sva) and the 11th (āya), the child is born encircled by a serpent.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08. स्वायगाः is स्व + आय + गाः = standing in the 2nd and the 11th. The shipped rendering read स्व as 'their own signs'. This book fixes स्व as the SECOND house at A.24 (स्वायाष्टमात्मजाः पणफराः — the paṇapharas are 2/11/8/5), A.29 (स्वास्तौ मारको — the mārakas are 2 and 7) and A.30 (स्वान्त्यौ नेत्रसञ्ज्ञौ — the eyes are 2 and 12); and here स्व stands next to आय exactly as it does in A.24. The 1941's facing English reads 'benefic planets are in the 2nd and 11th house'.

चतुष्पदेऽर्के शेषेषु सबलेषु द्व्यङ्गगेषु यमलजन्म ।

catuṣpade'rke śeṣeṣu sabaleṣu dvyaṅgageṣu yamalajanma |

When the Sun is in a quadruped sign and the remaining ⟨grahas⟩ are strong and placed in two-bodied ⟨dual⟩ signs, twins are born.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printing reads द्यङ्गगेषु for द्व्यङ्गगेषु. द्व्यङ्ग 'two-limbed' is a further name for the dual signs, beside द्विदेह / द्विशरीर / द्व्यात्मक recorded in the glossary; the form used here is द्व्यङ्ग. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads द्व्यङ्गगेषु; this sentence names द्यङ्गगेषु, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

वृषाजसिंहेऽङ्गे मन्दे वा भौमे भांशतुल्ये ऽवयवे नालवेष्टितः।

vṛṣājasiṃhe'ṅge mande vā bhaume bhāṃśatulye 'vayave nālaveṣṭitaḥ|

When Taurus, Aries or Leo is the lagna with Saturn or Mars ⟨in it⟩, the child is born with the umbilical cord wound about the limb answering to the sign and the navāṃśa.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: भांशतुल्ये ऽवयवे: the limb is identified by the kālapuruṣa correspondence of the rāśi and of the navāṃśa occupied — the sūtra gives the rule, not the list.

सूर्यात् त्रिकोणास्तगौ मन्दारौ पापभगौ जन्मनि पिता बद्धः।

sūryāt trikoṇāstagau mandārau pāpabhagau janmani pitā baddhaḥ|

When Saturn and Mars, standing in a trikoṇa and in the 7th from the Sun, occupy the signs of malefics, the father is in bonds at the birth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पापभगौ = 'having a malefic's भ (sign)'. बद्धः is 'bound, imprisoned' and is left at that weight.

पूर्णेन्दौ कर्के ज्ञे लग्ने जीवे तुर्ये नौकाजन्म ।

pūrṇendau karke jñe lagne jīve turye naukājanma |

When the full Moon is in Cancer, Mercury in the lagna and Jupiter in the 4th, the birth takes place in a boat.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printing reads तुर्य without the locative ending; तुर्ये ('in the 4th') is required by the construction and is what the other members of the sūtra all carry.

जलभेऽङ्गेऽस्ते पूर्णेन्दौ जलासन्ने जन्म ।

jalabhe'ṅge'ste pūrṇendau jalāsanne janma |

When the lagna is in a watery sign and the full Moon in the 7th, the birth takes place near water.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: This sūtra prints जलासने (jala-āsana, 'a seat of/in water'); B.12 and B.13 both print जलासन्ने (jala-āsanna, 'near water'). The three may be one word with a nasal lost here, in which case this too reads 'near water'; the printing is followed as it stands and the divergence flagged rather than levelled. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads जलासन्ने; this sentence names जलासने, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

जलभगावङ्गचन्द्रौ जलासन्ने जन्म ।

jalabhagāvaṅgacandrau jalāsanne janma |

When both the lagna and the Moon are in watery signs, the birth takes place near water.

जलभगे चन्द्रे वाम्बुस्थे जलासन्ने जन्म ।

jalabhage candre vāmbusthe jalāsanne janma |

Or when the Moon is in a watery sign, or ⟨the lagna⟩ stands in water, the birth takes place near water.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अम्बुस्थे has no expressed subject. Read against B.12, which requires BOTH lagna and Moon, this sūtra relaxes the condition to either one, and the unexpressed subject is then the lagna. The alternative — both locatives predicated of the Moon (watery sign, or watery navāṃśa) — cannot be excluded from this exemplar.

चन्द्रेऽङ्गे मन्देऽन्त्ये पापदृष्टे कारागारे जन्म ।

candre'ṅge mande'ntye pāpadṛṣṭe kārāgāre janma |

When the Moon is in the lagna and Saturn in the 12th, aspected by a malefic, the birth takes place in a prison.

कर्काल्यङ्गेऽर्कजे चन्द्रदृष्टे गर्ते जन्म ।

karkālyaṅge'rkaje candradṛṣṭe garte janma |

When Cancer or Scorpio is the lagna with Saturn ⟨in it⟩, aspected by the Moon, the birth takes place in a pit.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printing reads गर्ने, which is not a word; read गर्ते 'in a pit' (त misread as न). The rest of the sūtra is legible and the sense of the result-word rests on that single akṣara — to be settled on the 1941 plates. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads गर्ते; this sentence names गर्ने, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

जलभे मन्देऽङ्गे ज्ञदृष्टे क्रीडालयेऽर्कदृष्टे देवालये चन्द्रदृष्टे सशर्करावन्यां जन्म।

jalabhe mande'ṅge jñadṛṣṭe krīḍālaye'rkadṛṣṭe devālaye candradṛṣṭe saśarkarāvanyāṃ janma|

When Saturn is in the lagna in a watery sign: aspected by Mercury, the birth is in a pleasure-house; aspected by the Sun, in a temple; aspected by the Moon, on gravelly ground.

नृलग्ने मन्दे कुजदृष्टे श्मशाने सितेन्दुदृष्टे रमणीयगृहे गुरुदृष्टेऽग्निशालायां रविदृष्टे नरेन्द्रामरालयगोकुलान्यतमे ज्ञदृष्टे शिल्पालये जन्म ।

When Saturn is in a human ⟨biped⟩ lagna: aspected by Mars, the birth is in a cremation ground; aspected by Venus and the Moon, in a delightful house; aspected by Jupiter, in a fire-hall; aspected by the Sun, in one of these — a king's palace, a temple, or a cow-pen; aspected by Mercury, in an artisan's workshop.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नरेन्द्रामरालयगोकुलान्यतमे is 'in whichever one of — a king's residence, the immortals' residence (a temple), a cow-pen'; the sūtra deliberately leaves the choice among the three open under the Sun's aspect alone.

मन्दाराभ्यां पञ्चमेऽस्तेऽङ्के चन्द्रे मात्रा त्यज्यते गुरुदृष्टे तु चन्द्रे दीर्घायुः।

mandārābhyāṃ pañcame'ste'ṅke candre mātrā tyajyate gurudṛṣṭe tu candre dīrghāyuḥ|

When the Moon is in the 5th, the 7th or the 9th from Saturn and Mars, ⟨the child⟩ is cast off by the mother; but when the Moon is aspected by Jupiter, ⟨it has⟩ long life.

  • About this edition: The printing reads अस्तेऽके; अस्तेऽर्के (aste 'rke) is required — the र is lost — and the Sun must be named, since चन्द्रे follows as a second locative. Which of the two luminaries takes the 5th and which the 7th is not distributed by the sūtra.

पापदृष्टे चन्द्रेऽङ्गेऽस्ते भौमे मात्रा त्यक्तो विनश्यति ।

pāpadṛṣṭe candre'ṅge'ste bhaume mātrā tyakto vinaśyati |

When the Moon in the lagna is aspected by a malefic and Mars is in the 7th, ⟨the child⟩, cast off by the mother, perishes.

पापदृष्टेऽङ्गे चन्द्रे मन्दारौ लाभे मातृत्यक्तो विनश्यति ।

pāpadṛṣṭe'ṅge candre mandārau lābhe mātṛtyakto vinaśyati |

When the lagna is aspected by a malefic and holds the Moon, and Saturn and Mars are in the 11th, ⟨the child⟩, cast off by the mother, perishes.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: लाभ is the 11th house. B.19 and B.20 differ only in the malefic placement — Mars in the 7th there, Saturn and Mars in the 11th here — and both end in the same verdict.

मातापितृग्रहयोर्यो बली तत्सम्बन्धिगृहे जन्म ।

mātāpitṛgrahayoryo balī tatsambandhigṛhe janma |

Of the graha of the mother and the graha of the father, whichever is the stronger — the birth takes place in a house belonging to the kin of that one.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mother's graha is the Moon and the father's the Sun; the sūtra names them by relation, not by name, and the rendering keeps that.

सौम्याः सर्वे नीचगाः वृक्षनदीप्राकारादिषु जन्म।

saumyāḥ sarve nīcagāḥ vṛkṣanadīprākārādiṣu janma|

When all the benefics are debilitated, the birth takes place among trees, rivers, ramparts and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सौम्याः सर्वे is the benefic class, not Mercury.

नीचगेषु शुभेषु चन्द्रेङ्गे ग्रहमात्रादृष्टेऽटव्यां जन्म ।

nīcageṣu śubheṣu candreṅge grahamātrādṛṣṭe'ṭavyāṃ janma |

When the benefics are debilitated and the Moon in the lagna is unaspected by so much as a single graha, the birth takes place in a forest.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ग्रहमात्रादृष्टे — 'unaspected by a graha, any graha at all'; the मात्र is the force of the condition and is kept. The printing reads चन्द्रेङ्गे for चन्द्रेऽङ्गे, the avagraha lost.

चन्द्रे तुर्ये वा मन्दयुतदृष्टे वा जलभांशेऽन्धकारे जन्म।

candre turye vā mandayutadṛṣṭe vā jalabhāṃśe'ndhakāre janma|

When the Moon is in the 4th, or is joined with or aspected by Saturn, or is in the navāṃśa of a watery sign, the birth takes place in darkness.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The two वा make the three conditions alternatives, not a conjunction.

सबलेऽर्के भौमदृष्टे बहुदोषगृहे जन्म ।

sabale'rke bhaumadṛṣṭe bahudoṣagṛhe janma |

When the Sun is strong and aspected by Mars, the birth takes place in a house with many defects.

चन्द्रात्तैलज्ञानम् ।

candrāttailajñānam |

From the Moon, the oil ⟨of the lamp⟩ is known.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: B.26–B.28 form one set on the lamp of the birth-chamber: its oil from the Moon, its wick from the lagna, its kind from the Sun's sign-class. The word 'lamp' is supplied here from B.27, which names it.

लग्नाद्दीपवर्तिज्ञानम् ।

lagnāddīpavartijñānam |

From the lagna, the wick of the lamp is known.

चरेऽर्के चरः स्थिरेऽर्के स्थिरो द्विस्वभावे खण्डवद्दीपः ।

care'rke caraḥ sthire'rke sthiro dvisvabhāve khaṇḍavaddīpaḥ |

When the Sun is in a movable sign the lamp is movable; when in a fixed sign, fixed; when in a dual sign, the lamp is as if broken.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: खण्डवत् is 'like a piece, in parts'. Under a dual sign the lamp is neither wholly of the one kind nor of the other; whether the text means a physically broken lamp or one partaking of both classes is not decided by the wording, and the literal 'as if broken' is kept.

शीर्षोदयांशेऽङ्गे मूर्द्धतः प्रसव उभयोदयांशे हस्ततोऽन्यथा पादतः।

śīrṣodayāṃśe'ṅge mūrddhataḥ prasava ubhayodayāṃśe hastato'nyathā pādataḥ|

When the lagna is in the navāṃśa of a head-rising sign, the delivery is head-first; in the navāṃśa of a both-ways-rising sign, by the hands; otherwise, feet-first.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अन्यथा 'otherwise' covers the back-rising (पृष्ठोदय) signs, which the sūtra does not name.

लग्नचन्द्रान्यतरतो बन्ध्वस्तगेषु क्रूरेषु मातुः कष्टम् ।

lagnacandrānyatarato bandhvastageṣu krūreṣu mātuḥ kaṣṭam |

When malefics occupy the 4th and the 7th from either the lagna or the Moon, there is affliction to the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: बन्धु is the 4th house. अन्यतरतः makes the reckoning from either reference point sufficient, not both.

केन्द्रगस्य वा बलिनो ग्रहस्य दिशि गृहद्वारम् ।

kendragasya vā balino grahasya diśi gṛhadvāram |

Or ⟨the door of⟩ the house ⟨lies⟩ in the direction of the strong graha placed in a kendra.

काष्ठाढ्यं नवं दग्धं चित्रं दृढं रम्यं जीर्णं क्रमादर्कादिषु यो बली तदनुसारि गृहम् ।

kāṣṭhāḍhyaṃ navaṃ dagdhaṃ citraṃ dṛḍhaṃ ramyaṃ jīrṇaṃ kramādarkādiṣu yo balī tadanusāri gṛham |

Abounding in timber, new, burnt, variegated, solid, charming, dilapidated — ⟨these⟩ in order for the Sun and the rest; whichever ⟨graha⟩ is strong, the house conforms to that.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The seven adjectives map yathāsaṅkhya onto the seven grahas from the Sun onward: Sun kāṣṭhāḍhya, Moon nava, Mars dagdha, Mercury citra, Jupiter dṛḍha, Venus ramya, Saturn jīrṇa. The sūtra states only 'arkādiṣu' (for the Sun and the rest); the pairing is the enumeration's own, not supplied sense.

वृषाजयोरुदये गृहस्य पूर्वभागे युग्मस्याग्नेय्यां कर्कसिंहयोर्याम्ये कन्याया नैर्ऋते तुलावृश्चिकयोः पश्चिमे धनुषो वायौ मन्दभयोरुत्तरे झषस्येशान्यां जन्म ।

vṛṣājayorudaye gṛhasya pūrvabhāge yugmasyāgneyyāṃ karkasiṃhayoryāmye kanyāyā nairṛte tulāvṛścikayoḥ paścime dhanuṣo vāyau mandabhayoruttare jhaṣasyeśānyāṃ janma |

When Taurus or Aries rises, the birth ⟨is⟩ in the eastern part of the house; ⟨for⟩ Gemini, in the south-east; ⟨for⟩ Cancer and Leo, in the south; ⟨for⟩ Virgo, in the south-west; ⟨for⟩ Libra and Scorpio, in the west; ⟨for⟩ Sagittarius, in the north-west; ⟨for⟩ the two signs of Saturn ⟨Capricorn and Aquarius⟩, in the north; ⟨for⟩ Pisces ⟨jhaṣa⟩, in the north-east.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR corruption in the printed line: 'मन्दभयोरुत्त ग्नेषस्येशान्यां' stands for 'मन्दभयोरुत्तरे मीनस्येशान्यां'. Two things are damaged — the ending of उत्तरे and the sign-name before ईशान्यां (मीनस्य read as ग्नेषस्य). The sense is determinate and not conjectural: the sūtra runs the twelve rāśis once through the eight directions in fixed order, and Pisces is the only sign left unassigned when the other eleven are placed. No ⟨…⟩ marker stands in the mūla; this is scanner damage of the kind the edition profile declares. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads झषस्येशान्यां; this sentence names ग्नेषस्येशान्यां, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

एवं शय्याज्ञानम् ।

evaṃ śayyājñānam |

Thus ⟨is⟩ the knowledge of the bed.

लग्नदिशि शय्याशिरस्त्रिषडङ्कान्त्येषु पादाः ।

lagnadiśi śayyāśirastriṣaḍaṅkāntyeṣu pādāḥ |

The head of the bed ⟨is⟩ in the direction of the lagna; the feet ⟨of the bed are⟩ in the third, the sixth, the ninth (aṅka) and the last ⟨the twelfth⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्क is the number-word for nine, so the four houses named are 3, 6, 9, 12 — the four āpoklimas. पादाः is plural and reads most naturally as the legs of the cot rather than the sleeper's feet; the Hindi keeps पाद, which holds both.

यत्र पापस्तत्रोद्घाटः।

yatra pāpastatrodghāṭaḥ|

Where a malefic ⟨stands⟩, there ⟨is⟩ a split ⟨in that leg of the bed⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: udghāṭa is the aperture — door, window or break in the wall — of the lying-in room; the sūtra names the quarter, not the fitting.

लग्नचन्द्रान्तरगग्रहसङ्ख्या उपसूतिका उदगर्द्धेऽभ्यन्तरगा दक्षिणार्द्धे बाह्याः।

lagnacandrāntaragagrahasaṅkhyā upasūtikā udagarddhe'bhyantaragā dakṣiṇārddhe bāhyāḥ|

The number of grahas standing between the lagna and the Moon ⟨is the number of⟩ attendant women at the birth; those in the northern half are inside ⟨the chamber⟩, those in the southern half outside.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: upasūtikā = the women in attendance on a woman in labour. The Sanskrit leaves it open whether the grahas are inside/outside or the women they stand for are; the Hindi keeps that open, the English resolves to the women, which is what verses 38–39 go on to count.

वक्रोच्चसंस्थैस्त्रिगुणाः स्वर्क्षत्र्यंशनवांशे स्थितैर्द्विगुणा नीचास्तगैरर्द्धमिता उपसूतिकाः।

vakroccasaṃsthaistriguṇāḥ svarkṣatryaṃśanavāṃśe sthitairdviguṇā nīcāstagairarddhamitā upasūtikāḥ|

By ⟨grahas⟩ retrograde or exalted ⟨they are⟩ threefold; by those standing in their own sign, their own tryaṃśa ⟨drekkāṇa⟩ or their own navāṃśa, twofold; by those debilitated or set ⟨combust⟩, reckoned at half — ⟨such are⟩ the attendants.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वक्र here is 'retrograde', not Mars: it is paired with उच्च and stands in a list of placement-states. त्र्यंश is the third-part, i.e. the drekkāṇa. Multipliers 3, 2 and ½ are as printed.

मीनाजाङ्गे द्वे गोघटाङ्गे चतस्रः कर्कहयाङ्गे पञ्च शेषे तिस्र उपसूतिकाः।

mīnājāṅge dve goghaṭāṅge catasraḥ karkahayāṅge pañca śeṣe tisra upasūtikāḥ|

When Pisces or Aries is the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩, two; when Taurus or Aquarius, four; when Cancer or haya ⟨Sagittarius⟩, five; in the rest, three attendants.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅga = the 1st house, the lagna (confirmed by 41 'aṅge candre'). haya, 'horse', is Sagittarius. Counts 2, 4, 5, 3 are as printed.

गोजाश्वियुग्मसिंहाङ्गे बहुरुदितो जातोऽन्यथा न ।

gojāśviyugmasiṃhāṅge bahurudito jāto'nyathā na |

When Taurus, Aries, aśvi ⟨the horse-sign, Sagittarius⟩, Gemini or Leo is the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩, the one born cries much; otherwise not.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अश्वि is the one uncertain member of the list. Read as the horse-sign, Sagittarius — the same sign the preceding sūtra names हय; this text varies its sign-epithets freely (see the glossary's rule 3). The identification is marked as supplied in both languages because the word itself is not a standard rāśi-name.

अङ्गे चन्द्रे ग्रहमात्रादृष्टे निर्जने प्रसवः।

aṅge candre grahamātrādṛṣṭe nirjane prasavaḥ|

The Moon in the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩, unaspected by so much as a single graha — the delivery ⟨takes place⟩ where there are no people.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: graha-mātra-adṛṣṭa: 'not aspected by even one graha at all'. nirjana is a place empty of people — the sūtra says the birth happens unattended, which is the sharp reading and is kept.

खाम्बुगेषु शुभेषु सुखेन प्रसवस्त्रिकोणास्तगेषु पापेषु कष्टतः।

khāmbugeṣu śubheṣu sukhena prasavastrikoṇāstageṣu pāpeṣu kaṣṭataḥ|

When benefics are in the kha ⟨the 10th⟩ or in the ambu ⟨the 4th house⟩, the delivery ⟨is⟩ with ease; when malefics are in a trikoṇa or in the asta ⟨the 7th⟩, with difficulty.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अम्बु ('water') is the 4th house, alongside हिबुक and रसातल in the glossary. The verse's placing of malefics in a trikoṇa as an affliction is unusual but is what the sūtra says and is left standing.

तुर्ये खे वा मन्दारार्कयोगे जन्मतः प्राक् पितृमरणम् ।

turye khe vā mandārārkayoge janmataḥ prāk pitṛmaraṇam |

⟨With⟩ the conjunction of Saturn, Mars and the Sun in the turya ⟨the 4th⟩ or in the kha ⟨the 10th⟩, the father's death ⟨comes⟩ before the birth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: turya = the fourth. 'janmataḥ prāk' fixes the death as prior to the birth, not merely early in life.

लग्नषष्ठास्ताष्टमगाः पापा मात्रा सह बालस्य मृतिः ।

lagnaṣaṣṭhāstāṣṭamagāḥ pāpā mātrā saha bālasya mṛtiḥ |

Malefics standing in the lagna, the 6th, the asta ⟨the 7th⟩ and the 8th — death of the child together with the mother.

ग्रस्ते चन्द्रे समन्दे लग्नाष्टमे भौमे मात्रा सह बालस्य मृतिः ।

graste candre samande lagnāṣṭame bhaume mātrā saha bālasya mṛtiḥ |

The Moon eclipsed and with Saturn, Mars in the lagna or the 8th — death of the child together with the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: grasta, 'seized', is the technical word for an eclipsed luminary and is rendered so.

ग्रस्तेऽर्के मन्दज्ञान्यतरयुते रन्ध्राङ्गे कुजे मात्रा सह बालस्य मृतिः।

graste'rke mandajñānyatarayute randhrāṅge kuje mātrā saha bālasya mṛtiḥ|

The Sun eclipsed and joined with either Saturn or Mercury, Mars in the randhra ⟨the 8th⟩ or the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩ — death of the child together with the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: anyatara = 'either one of the two', so one of Saturn or Mercury suffices; the disjunction is not loosened to 'and'.

भौमभे अर्कारमन्देन्दुदृष्टेऽष्टमे चेज्ये बालकस्य महाकष्टम् ।

bhaumabhe arkāramandendudṛṣṭe'ṣṭame cejye bālakasya mahākaṣṭam |

⟨When⟩ Jupiter is in the 8th in a sign of Mars ⟨bhauma-bha⟩ and is aspected by the Sun, Mars, Saturn and the Moon — great affliction for the child.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The first word is corrupt: the printing has 'भौममे', which is no Sanskrit word here. Read as भौमभे, 'in the sign of Mars' (भ misread as म), which is the only reading that gives the following locatives something to stand in. That reading is CONJECTURAL and is marked as supplied. 'अर्कारमन्दे' is a samāhāra-dvandva in the neuter locative singular — the three grahas taken as one group — which is why it looks like a dual. The rest (इन्दुदृष्टे, अष्टमे च इज्ये, महाकष्टम्) is clear. This sūtra alone in the run says महाकष्ट, great affliction, and not मृति; the difference is preserved. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भौमभे; this sentence names भौममे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-30: the mūla now reads अर्कारमन्देन्दुदृष्टेऽष्टमे, one compound, as the 1915 printing sets it (read by eye on 2026-09-30 at about 3.75x native) and as Sārāvalī 10.4 and Jātaka Pārijāta 4.41 require: Jupiter in the 8th in a sign of Mars, aspected by the Sun, Mars, Saturn and the Moon. The account of अर्कारमन्दे as a samāhāra-dvandva above describes the 1941's division मन्दे इन्दु, which that printing does set, and is kept as history.]

व्ययारी पापयुतौ बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

vyayārī pāpayutau bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

The vyaya ⟨the 12th⟩ and the ari ⟨the 6th⟩, both joined by malefics — immediate death of the child.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: व्ययारी is a dual nominative, so both houses must carry malefics; 'both' is the grammar and not an addition. sadyaḥ = at once.

लग्नेशे सार्के नीचगे रन्ध्रेशे बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

lagneśe sārke nīcage randhreśe bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

The lord of the lagna, joined with the Sun, debilitated, ⟨and so too⟩ the lord of the randhra ⟨the 8th⟩ — immediate death of the child.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The syntax is loose: three locatives (लग्नेशे … नीचगे … रन्ध्रेशे) with one adjective, नीचगे, in the singular. Taken as the lagna-lord and the 8th-lord sharing the state of being debilitated and Sun-joined. An alternative reading — the lagna-lord debilitated in the 8th-lord's sign — is grammatically strained and not adopted; the ambiguity is left visible by the ⟨तथा वैसे ही⟩ marker in the Hindi.

राहौ केन्द्रे पापमात्रयुतदृष्टे बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

rāhau kendre pāpamātrayutadṛṣṭe bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

Rāhu in a kendra, joined with or aspected by malefics alone — immediate death of the child.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पापमात्र is two-way: 'by malefics and nothing else' or 'by so much as a single malefic'. The Hindi keeps पापमात्र and holds both; the English had to choose and takes the first, which fits the pattern of the surrounding death-sūtras, where the absence of a benefic is the operative condition.

नगेऽर्केऽङ्गे मन्देऽष्टमे भौमे बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः ।

nage'rke'ṅge mande'ṣṭame bhaume bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ |

The Sun in the naga ⟨the 7th⟩, Saturn in the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩, Mars in the 8th — immediate death of the child.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नग ('mountain') is the number-word for seven, hence the 7th house.

मन्दारभे खेऽर्के पापैर्दृष्टे बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः ।

mandārabhe khe'rke pāpairdṛṣṭe bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ |

The Sun in a sign of Saturn or of Mars, in the 10th (kha), aspected by malefics — immediate death of the child.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed sequence मन्दारभे स्वे is asyndetic — no वा stands between the two locatives — so the disjunctive 'or' is supplied in both languages. भ = rāśi. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads खेऽर्के; this sentence names स्वे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

षष्ठाष्टमे चन्द्रे पापैर्दृष्टे बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः ।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame candre pāpairdṛṣṭe bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ |

The Moon in the 6th or the 8th, aspected by malefics — immediate death of the child.

चरभांशे चन्द्रे शुभैरदृष्टे कोणे पापा बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः ।

carabhāṃśe candre śubhairadṛṣṭe koṇe pāpā bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ |

The Moon in the aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ of a movable sign, unaspected by benefics, malefics in a koṇa ⟨a trikoṇa⟩ — immediate death of the child.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: चरभांशे also admits 'in a movable sign and ⟨its⟩ aṃśa'; the Hindi's चरभ ⟨चर राशि⟩ के अंश keeps the compound visible so a reader can take it either way.

मन्दार्केन्द्वारा व्ययाङ्काङ्गाष्टमगाः सबलगुर्वदृष्टाः बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

mandārkendvārā vyayāṅkāṅgāṣṭamagāḥ sabalagurvadṛṣṭāḥ bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

Saturn, the Sun, the Moon and Mars standing ⟨respectively⟩ in the vyaya ⟨the 12th⟩, the aṅka ⟨the 9th⟩, the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩ and the 8th, unaspected by a strong Jupiter — immediate death of the child.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Four grahas and four houses in matching order — yathāsaṅkhya — so Saturn 12th, Sun 9th, Moon lagna, Mars 8th. 'respectively' is marked as supplied because the sūtra does not say क्रमात्, though the equal counts and the parallel compounds make it the natural reading; a distributive reading (the four anywhere among those four houses) is possible. अङ्क is again the number-word for nine.

कोणान्त्यास्ताङ्गेषु पापयुतश्चन्द्रो बलिशुभायुतदृष्टो बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

koṇāntyāstāṅgeṣu pāpayutaścandro baliśubhāyutadṛṣṭo bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

The Moon joined with malefics in a koṇa ⟨a trikoṇa⟩, the antya ⟨the 12th⟩, the asta ⟨the 7th⟩ or the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩, and neither joined with nor aspected by a strong benefic — immediate death of the child.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printing reads बालय for बालस्य — a dropped स, and the only such lapse in a formula that recurs verbatim in twelve neighbouring sūtras. Kept as printed in the mūla, read as बालस्य here. बलिशुभायुतदृष्टो is the negated compound अ-युत-दृष्ट: the benefic must neither join nor aspect. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads बालस्य for बालय, 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.]

चन्द्रेऽङ्गेऽस्ते पापा बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

candre'ṅge'ste pāpā bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

The Moon in the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩, malefics in the asta ⟨the 7th⟩ — immediate death of the child.

मन्दाद्रन्ध्रे बलिनः पापा बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

mandādrandhre balinaḥ pāpā bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

Strong malefics in the randhra ⟨the 8th⟩ from Saturn — immediate death of the child.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mandāt is ablative: the 8th counted from Saturn, not the 8th house of the chart.

क्षीणेन्दावङ्गे केन्द्राष्टमगाः पापाः बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः ।

kṣīṇendāvaṅge kendrāṣṭamagāḥ pāpāḥ bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ |

The waning Moon in the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩, malefics standing in the kendras and in the 8th — immediate death of the child.

कर्काल्यङ्गे खलाः पूर्वार्द्धे सौम्याः परार्द्धे वा लग्नास्ताष्टान्त्ये सपापेन्दौ शुभादृष्टे शुभायुतेषु केन्द्रेषु बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

karkālyaṅge khalāḥ pūrvārddhe saumyāḥ parārddhe vā lagnāstāṣṭāntye sapāpendau śubhādṛṣṭe śubhāyuteṣu kendreṣu bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

Cancer or ali ⟨Scorpio⟩ as the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩, malefics in the first half ⟨of the sign⟩ and benefics in the latter half; or the Moon with malefics in the lagna, the asta ⟨the 7th⟩, the 8th and the antya ⟨the 12th⟩, unaspected by benefics, with the kendras unjoined by benefics — immediate death of the child.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printing reads लनास्ताष्टान्त्ये for लग्नास्ताष्टान्त्ये — a dropped ग, one akṣara, of the kind the edition profile declares. वा is taken as separating two whole protases, either of which yields the result; it could instead join only पूर्वार्धे and परार्धे, which would make the sign-half clause a single alternative rather than a pair. सौम्य here is the benefic class, not Mercury — it stands opposite खल. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads लग्नास्ताष्टान्त्ये; this sentence names लनास्ताष्टान्त्ये, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

त्रिके सौम्याः केन्द्रे कोणे पापा लग्नेऽर्के बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

trike saumyāḥ kendre koṇe pāpā lagne'rke bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

Benefics in the trika ⟨the 6th, 8th and 12th⟩, malefics in a kendra and in a trikoṇa, and the Sun in the lagna — the child dies at once.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: त्रिक is taken as the standard duḥsthāna triad 6/8/12; the configuration is a deliberate inversion (benefics banished to the evil houses, malefics holding the angles and trines), which is why the supplied gloss is given. A minority reading takes trika as the 3rd alone; the sense of the sūtra would then be much weaker and the inversion would be lost.

चन्द्रपापयुतेषु सर्वकेन्द्रेषु बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

candrapāpayuteṣu sarvakendreṣu bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

When all the kendras are occupied by the Moon together with malefics, the child dies at once.

लग्नास्तगौ पापौ चन्द्रो मिश्रदृष्टो बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः ।

lagnāstagau pāpau candro miśradṛṣṭo bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ |

Two malefics in the lagna and in the 7th ⟨asta, the setting place⟩, and the Moon aspected by mixed ⟨benefic and malefic⟩ grahas — the child dies at once.

क्षीणेन्दावन्त्ये पापेषु लग्नाष्टगेषु केन्द्रान्तरगेषु शुभेषु बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

kṣīṇendāvantye pāpeṣu lagnāṣṭageṣu kendrāntarageṣu śubheṣu bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

The waning Moon in the 12th ⟨antya⟩, malefics in the lagna and the 8th, and benefics in the houses lying between the kendras ⟨the non-angular houses⟩ — the child dies at once.

  • About this edition: The printed लनाष्टगेषु is an OCR slip for लग्नाष्टगेषु (lagnāṣṭageṣu); the missing ग् is certain from the sense and from the parallel wording of sūtras 61 and 68. केन्द्रान्तरग is read as 'placed in the intervals between the kendras', i.e. the paṇaphara and āpoklima houses. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads लग्नाष्टगेषु; this sentence names लनाष्टगेषु, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

पापान्तरे चन्द्रे रन्ध्राम्बुसप्तमगे बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

pāpāntare candre randhrāmbusaptamage bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

The Moon hemmed in between malefics and placed in the 8th ⟨randhra⟩, the 4th ⟨ambu⟩ or the 7th — the child dies at once.

सन्ध्यायां भान्त्यगाः पापा इन्दुहोरायां बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

sandhyāyāṃ bhāntyagāḥ pāpā induhorāyāṃ bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

⟨Birth⟩ at twilight, malefics standing at the end of an asterism, and ⟨the lagna⟩ in the Moon's horā — the child dies at once.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two words are genuinely open here. भान्त्यग is read as bha-anta-ga, 'placed at the end of an asterism/sign'; भ is not one of this text's house-names, so a house reading is unlikely. इन्दुहोरा may be the lunar half-sign horā of the lagna (the usual jātaka sense) or the planetary hour ruled by the Moon, which would pair with sandhyā as a second condition of the birth-time; the Hindi keeps both open by leaving होरा untranslated.

रन्ध्रास्तगौ पापौ पापमात्रदृष्टौ बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

randhrāstagau pāpau pāpamātradṛṣṭau bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

Two malefics in the 8th ⟨randhra⟩ and the 7th ⟨asta⟩, aspected by malefics only — the child dies at once.

लग्नान्त्याष्टाङ्कक्रमाच्चन्द्रारार्कमन्दा बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः।

lagnāntyāṣṭāṅkakramāccandrārārkamandā bālasya sadyo mṛtiḥ|

The Moon, Mars, the Sun and Saturn respectively in the lagna, the 12th ⟨antya⟩, the 8th and the 9th ⟨aṅka⟩ — the child dies at once.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्क is taken as the number-word for nine (bhūtasaṃkhyā), so the four places are 1, 12, 8, 9 and क्रमात् maps the four grahas onto them in order. Sūtra 85 uses अङ्क in the same house-list position, which corroborates the reading.

षष्ट्यां जातस्य भौमार्कावङ्गे मृतिः ।

ṣaṣṭyāṃ jātasya bhaumārkāvaṅge mṛtiḥ |

For one born on the sixth ⟨tithi⟩, Mars and the Sun in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ — death.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The second half is OCR-corrupt: भौ यांर्काविङ्गे is recoverable as भौमार्कावङ्गे (bhaumārkāv aṅge), with मा misread as यां and वङ् as विङ्; the akṣara-level damage is of the kind this edition's profile declares. षष्ट्यां as printed is from षष्टि 'sixty', which would point to a ṣaṣṭyaṃśa; it is rendered here as षष्ठी, the sixth tithi, because the surrounding sūtras (66 sandhyā) give conditions of the birth-time and ṣaṣṭhī/ṣaṣṭi is a routine confusion in this OCR. The alternative reading is recorded rather than concealed. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भौमार्कावङ्गे; this sentence names यांर्काविङ्गे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

षष्ठाष्टमगे चन्द्रे पापवर्गस्थे तुर्ये राहौ शिशुमरणम् ।

The Moon in the 6th or the 8th and standing in a malefic's varga, with Rāhu in the 4th ⟨turya⟩ — the infant dies.

चन्द्रादस्ते भौमार्कौ दशाहे शिशुमरणम् ।

candrādaste bhaumārkau daśāhe śiśumaraṇam |

Mars and the Sun in the 7th ⟨asta⟩ from the Moon — the infant dies on the tenth day.

Jupiter in a sign of Saturn ⟨manda-bha⟩ in the 8th, aspected by malefics — the infant dies on the eleventh day.

  • About this edition: पापैदृष्टे as printed for पापैर्दृष्टे — the visarga/repha is lost in the OCR, not in the sense. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पापैर्दृष्टे; this sentence names पापैदृष्टे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मन्देऽङ्गे पापमात्रदृष्टे षोडशाहे शिशुमरणम् ।

mande'ṅge pāpamātradṛṣṭe ṣoḍaśāhe śiśumaraṇam |

Saturn in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩, aspected by malefics only — the infant dies on the sixteenth day.

लग्नांशेशे षष्ठे षष्ठभतुल्यदिने शिशुमरणम् ।

lagnāṃśeśe ṣaṣṭhe ṣaṣṭhabhatulyadine śiśumaraṇam |

The lord of the lagna's aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ in the 6th — the infant dies on the day whose number equals that of the sign standing in the 6th.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: षष्ठभतुल्यदिने: the reckoning is by the ordinal of the rāśi occupying the 6th house counted from Meṣa, so the day-number is read off the sign and not off the house. Sūtra 86 repeats the device with मास for दिन.

षष्ठाष्टमगाः सौम्या वक्रगपापदृष्टा मासे शिशुमरणम् ।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamagāḥ saumyā vakragapāpadṛṣṭā māse śiśumaraṇam |

Benefics in the 6th and the 8th, aspected by retrograde malefics — the infant dies within a month.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वक्रग here is 'retrograde', not the graha Mars (the glossary flags वक्र as carrying both senses); पापदृष्ट already names the class, so वक्रग must qualify it.

सपापेऽङ्गेशे द्यूने मासे शिशुमरणम् ।

sapāpe'ṅgeśe dyūne māse śiśumaraṇam |

The lord of the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ in the 7th ⟨dyūna⟩ together with a malefic — the infant dies within a month.

कुजेऽङ्गे जीवेऽन्त्ये शुभे षष्ठे मासे शिशुमरणम् ।

kuje'ṅge jīve'ntye śubhe ṣaṣṭhe māse śiśumaraṇam |

Mars in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩, Jupiter in the 12th ⟨antya⟩, a benefic in the 6th — the infant dies within a month.

सपापजन्मेशे रन्ध्रे मासे शिशुमरणम् ।

sapāpajanmeśe randhre māse śiśumaraṇam |

The lord of the birth ⟨lagna⟩, together with a malefic, in the 8th ⟨randhra⟩ — the infant dies within a month.

लग्नपेऽस्ते खलविजिते मासे शिशुमरणम् ।

lagnape'ste khalavijite māse śiśumaraṇam |

The lord of the lagna in the 7th ⟨asta⟩, vanquished by a malefic ⟨khala⟩ — the infant dies within a month.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: खलविजित is 'vanquished by a malefic' — an overpowering, not merely an affliction; the Hindi keeps विजित so the force of the word is not traded for a milder one.

मन्दार्कारा रन्ध्रे वा षष्ठे मासे शिशुमरणम् ।

mandārkārā randhre vā ṣaṣṭhe māse śiśumaraṇam |

Saturn, the Sun and Mars in the 8th ⟨randhra⟩, or in the 6th — the infant dies within a month.

ग्रहणेऽङ्गेशेऽबले सपापे पक्षत्रयं मासत्रयं वा जीवति ।

grahaṇe'ṅgeśe'bale sapāpe pakṣatrayaṃ māsatrayaṃ vā jīvati |

⟨Birth⟩ at an eclipse, the lord of the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ weak and joined to a malefic — it lives three fortnights, or three months.

रन्ध्रेऽङ्गेशे पापयुतदृष्टे तुर्यमासायुः।

randhre'ṅgeśe pāpayutadṛṣṭe turyamāsāyuḥ|

The lord of the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ in the 8th ⟨randhra⟩, joined to and aspected by malefics — a life of four months.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: तुर्य here is the ordinal 'fourth' counting months, not the 4th house as in sūtra 70; the same word carries both duties within nine sūtras of each other. रन्धे as printed for रन्ध्रे. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads रन्ध्रेऽङ्गेशे; this sentence names रन्धे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सर्वे आपोक्लिमगा विबलाः षण्मासायुः।

sarve āpoklimagā vibalāḥ ṣaṇmāsāyuḥ|

All ⟨the grahas⟩ in the āpoklima houses ⟨the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th⟩ and devoid of strength — a life of six months.

पापर्क्षे सुते इन्द्वर्काराः षण्मासायुः।

pāparkṣe sute indvarkārāḥ ṣaṇmāsāyuḥ|

The Moon, the Sun and Mars in the 5th ⟨suta⟩, in a malefic's sign — a life of six months.

धनान्त्यगा वा व्ययारिगा वा रन्ध्रारिगा वा ऽष्टमाङ्कगाः पापाः षष्ठेऽष्टमे वा मासि मृतिः।

dhanāntyagā vā vyayārigā vā randhrārigā vā 'ṣṭamāṅkagāḥ pāpāḥ ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame vā māsi mṛtiḥ|

Malefics in the 2nd ⟨dhana⟩ and the 12th ⟨antya⟩, or in the 12th ⟨vyaya⟩ and the 6th ⟨ari⟩, or in the 8th ⟨randhra⟩ and the 6th ⟨ari⟩, or in the 8th and the 9th ⟨aṅka⟩ — death in the sixth or the eighth month.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्क read as nine, as in sūtra 68. The sūtra names four pairs of places, not one list: 2+12, 12+6, 8+6, 8+9, with अन्त्य and व्यय both standing for the 12th in successive members.

लग्नद्रेष्काणेशे षष्ठे भतुल्ये मासि मृतिः।

lagnadreṣkāṇeśe ṣaṣṭhe bhatulye māsi mṛtiḥ|

The lord of the lagna's drekkāṇa in the 6th — death in the month whose number equals that of the sign ⟨standing in the 6th⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: भतुल्ये leaves the sign unnamed; it is supplied from sūtra 74, whose reckoning is identical except that it counts days and states षष्ठभ explicitly. The edition spells the division द्रेष्काण here (the glossary records both द्रेकाण and द्रेष्काण).

षष्ठाष्टमगयोः पापदृष्टयोः पापयोर्वर्षान्तरे मृतिः।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamagayoḥ pāpadṛṣṭayoḥ pāpayorvarṣāntare mṛtiḥ|

Two malefics placed in the 6th and the 8th and aspected by malefics — death within the year.

चन्द्रज्ञौ केन्द्रे मूढमन्दारदृष्टौ वर्षान्तरे मृतिः ।

candrajñau kendre mūḍhamandāradṛṣṭau varṣāntare mṛtiḥ |

The Moon and Mercury in a kendra, aspected by a combust ⟨graha⟩, by Saturn and by Mars — death within the year.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मूढ is combustion (astaṅgata). The compound मूढमन्दार allows two constructions — mūḍha as a third member alongside Saturn and Mars, or as an adjective governing both — and the Hindi holds them apart with commas rather than deciding, as the Sanskrit does not decide.

लग्नपाच्चन्द्रेंशेऽष्टमे पापमात्रदृष्टे वर्षद्वयायुः।

lagnapāccandreṃśe'ṣṭame pāpamātradṛṣṭe varṣadvayāyuḥ|

The Moon's aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ falling in the 8th from the lord of the lagna, aspected by malefics only — a life of two years.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: चन्द्रेंशे as printed is an anusvāra-bearing form of चन्द्रांशे; the ablative लग्नपात् fixes the count as 'from the lord of the lagna'. A second parse, चन्द्रेशे 'the lord of the Moon's sign', is possible on the ink but leaves अष्टमे without its reckoning-point and is not adopted.

केन्द्राष्टषष्ठे वक्रगे ग्रहे कुजभे सबलारदृष्टे वर्षत्रयायुः ।

kendrāṣṭaṣaṣṭhe vakrage grahe kujabhe sabalāradṛṣṭe varṣatrayāyuḥ |

A retrograde graha in a kendra, in the 8th or in the 6th, standing in a sign of Mars ⟨kuja⟩ and aspected by a strong Mars — a life of three years.

सोत्थे पापांशगौ पापदृष्टौ पुष्पवन्तौ वर्षत्रयायुः ।

sotthe pāpāṃśagau pāpadṛṣṭau puṣpavantau varṣatrayāyuḥ |

The puṣpavantau ⟨the Sun and the Moon⟩ in the 3rd (sottha), occupying malefic aṃśas and aspected by malefics — the life-span is three years.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: puṣpavantau, 'the two flower-bearing ones', is the standard dual epithet of the Sun and the Moon (Amarakośa: puṣpavantau divākara-niśākarau) and is not in doubt. SETTLED 2026-09-08: सोत्थे is the THIRD HOUSE, not 'risen together'. 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.

भौमभेऽष्टमे जीवे मन्देन्द्वर्कदृष्टे भृग्वदृष्टे वर्षत्रयायुः।

bhaumabhe'ṣṭame jīve mandendvarkadṛṣṭe bhṛgvadṛṣṭe varṣatrayāyuḥ|

Jupiter in the eighth house, that house being a sign of Mars, aspected by Saturn, the Moon and the Sun, and unaspected by Venus — the life-span is three years.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bhṛgu = Venus; bhṛg-adṛṣṭe is the negative, 'not aspected by Venus', and is load-bearing — Venus's aspect would break the combination.

षष्ठाष्टमे कर्कगे ज्ञे चन्द्रदृष्टे तुर्येऽब्दे मृतिः।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame karkage jñe candradṛṣṭe turye'bde mṛtiḥ|

Mercury in the sixth or the eighth house, placed in Cancer, aspected by the Moon — death in the fourth year.

सेन्द्वर्केज्यौ वा सेन्द्वर्कार्क्यारा वा समन्देन्द्वच्छाराः पञ्चमाब्दे मृतिः।

sendvarkejyau vā sendvarkārkyārā vā samandendvacchārāḥ pañcamābde mṛtiḥ|

The Sun and Jupiter together with the Moon; or the Sun, Saturn and Mars together with the Moon; or the Moon, Venus and Mars together with Saturn — death in the fifth year.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Three alternative conjunctions, each written as sa-X + a list: sendv-arkejyau = sa-indu + arka-ijyau; sendv-arkārkyārāḥ = sa-indu + arka-arki-ārāḥ; sa-mandendv-acchārāḥ = sa-manda + indu-accha-ārāḥ. accha ('clear, pellucid') is taken as an epithet of Venus, of the same sense as sita/śukra ('bright, white'); it recurs at 98 and 115 with correct plural and dual endings, so it is a word of the text and not scanner damage, but the identification with Venus is an inference from sense and from 115 (where it stands beside jña/Mercury in a benefic pair) and is not certain.

लग्ने राहौ पापमात्रदृष्टयुते पञ्चमाब्दे मृतिः।

lagne rāhau pāpamātradṛṣṭayute pañcamābde mṛtiḥ|

Rāhu in the lagna, aspected or joined by malefics only — death in the fifth year.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pāpa-mātra, 'malefics only', is exclusive: any benefic aspect or conjunction voids the rule.

सूर्येन्दुभे त्रिके शुक्रे पापदृष्टे षष्ठेऽब्दे मृतिः।

sūryendubhe trike śukre pāpadṛṣṭe ṣaṣṭhe'bde mṛtiḥ|

Venus in a trika ⟨the sixth, eighth or twelfth house⟩ that is the sign of the Sun or of the Moon, aspected by malefics — death in the sixth year.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: trika here is the 6th–8th–12th group, as its use in 101 and 104 confirms. sūryendubhe = Leo or Cancer.

लग्नेऽर्कमन्दाराः क्षीणेन्दावस्ते षष्ठे सप्तमे वाब्दे मृतिः ।

lagne'rkamandārāḥ kṣīṇendāvaste ṣaṣṭhe saptame vābde mṛtiḥ |

The Sun, Saturn and Mars in the lagna, the waning Moon in the seventh house — death in the sixth or the seventh year.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: asta = the seventh house, the setting place (glossary).

क्षीणेन्दावस्ते लग्ने मन्दाराच्छा गुर्वदृष्टाः सप्तमेऽब्दे मृतिः ।

kṣīṇendāvaste lagne mandārācchā gurvadṛṣṭāḥ saptame'bde mṛtiḥ |

The waning Moon in the seventh house, Saturn, Mars and Venus in the lagna and unaspected by Jupiter — death in the seventh year.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: accha is again read as Venus (see the note at 94). This sūtra and 100 differ only in their third graha (accha here, arka there) and in 100's added condition that the lagna be a sign of Venus; if accha were merely a misprint for arka the two sūtras would collapse into one, which is itself an argument that it is a distinct word.

षष्ठाष्टमगाः सौम्याः कोणे पापा अष्टमेऽब्दे मृतिः।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamagāḥ saumyāḥ koṇe pāpā aṣṭame'bde mṛtiḥ|

Benefics placed in the sixth and eighth houses, malefics in a trikoṇa — death in the eighth year.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: koṇa = trikoṇa, the trine (1, 5, 9).

क्षीणेन्दावस्ते शुक्रभे लग्ने मन्दारार्का गुर्वदृष्टाः सप्तमेऽब्दे मृतिः।

kṣīṇendāvaste śukrabhe lagne mandārārkā gurvadṛṣṭāḥ saptame'bde mṛtiḥ|

The waning Moon in the seventh house, the lagna in a sign of Venus, Saturn, Mars and the Sun ⟨in the lagna⟩ and unaspected by Jupiter — death in the seventh year.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śukrabhe is taken with the adjacent lagne ('the lagna being a sign of Venus'), on the pattern of 98 where lagne carries the trio of grahas. It could instead qualify aste ('the waning Moon in the seventh, in a sign of Venus'); the file is one exemplar and offers no way to decide. The trio, the Jupiter negative and the seventh year are unaffected either way.

त्रिके चन्द्रार्कार्कियोगे नवमाब्दे मृतिः।

trike candrārkārkiyoge navamābde mṛtiḥ|

The Moon, the Sun and Saturn conjoined in a trika ⟨the sixth, eighth or twelfth house⟩ — death in the ninth year.

ज्ञभगा इन्द्वर्कारा गुर्वदृष्टा नवमाब्दे मृतिः।

jñabhagā indvarkārā gurvadṛṣṭā navamābde mṛtiḥ|

The Moon, the Sun and Mars placed in a sign of Mercury and unaspected by Jupiter — death in the ninth year.

द्यूने चन्द्रेऽष्टमेशेऽङ्गे मन्ददृष्टे नवमाब्दे मृतिः।

dyūne candre'ṣṭameśe'ṅge mandadṛṣṭe navamābde mṛtiḥ|

The Moon in the 7th ⟨dyūna⟩, and the lord of the eighth house in the lagna aspected by Saturn — death in the ninth year.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The first word as printed, छूने (chūne), is not a Sanskrit word. It is read as क्षीणे, 'waning', on the strength of kṣīṇendau in 97, 98 and 100 — the same condition, on the same graha, three sūtras earlier — but this is a conjecture on an OCR text with no second witness, and the rendering marks it. aṅga = the body = the first house/lagna; mandadṛṣṭe is singular and attaches to the eighth lord. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads द्यूने; this sentence names chūne and छूने, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

चन्द्राङ्गेशावस्ते वा त्रिके भतुल्याब्दैर्मृतिः ।

candrāṅgeśāvaste vā trike bhatulyābdairmṛtiḥ |

The Moon and the lord of the lagna in the seventh house, or in a trika — death in as many years as the ⟨number of the⟩ sign.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The file prints भतुल्याब्दैमृतिः (bhatulyābdai-mṛtiḥ); the expected form is भतुल्याब्दे मृतिः, exactly as 105 prints it four sūtras later — a mātrā misread, left unrepaired in the mūla and read as -abde here. bha-tulya, 'equal to the sign', means the ordinal of the rāśi counted from Aries. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भतुल्याब्दैर्मृतिः; this sentence names भतुल्याब्दैमृतिः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

Venus and the Sun in the eighth house from the lord of birth, or the lord of the lagna in the sixth house — death in the year equal to the ⟨number of the⟩ sign.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The file prints शुक्राकौं; the dual ending -au and the pairing require शुक्रार्कौ, 'Venus and the Sun' — the r-hook is lost and a stray anusvāra added. randhra = the eighth house. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुक्रार्कौ; this sentence names शुक्राकौं, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

चन्द्राङ्गेशौ मन्दार्कयुतौ द्वादशाब्दे मृतिः ।

candrāṅgeśau mandārkayutau dvādaśābde mṛtiḥ |

The Moon and the lord of the lagna joined with Saturn and the Sun — death in the twelfth year.

जीवे भौमभे भौमे जीवभे वा सूर्ये मन्दभे मन्दे सूर्यभे द्वादशाब्दे मृतिः।

jīve bhaumabhe bhaume jīvabhe vā sūrye mandabhe mande sūryabhe dvādaśābde mṛtiḥ|

Jupiter in a sign of Mars and Mars in a sign of Jupiter; or the Sun in a sign of Saturn and Saturn in a sign of the Sun — death in the twelfth year.

The Moon standing, in the order of the signs from Aries onward, in the eighth, ninth, twenty-third, twenty-second, fifth, first, fourth, twenty-third, eighteenth, twentieth, twenty-first and tenth lava ⟨division of the sign⟩ respectively — death in the year measured by the number of that lava.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Twelve numbers for twelve signs, checked one by one against the mūla: Aries 8, Taurus 9, Gemini 23, Cancer 22, Leo 5, Virgo 1, Libra 4, Scorpio 23, Sagittarius 18, Capricorn 20, Aquarius 21, Pisces 10. The fifth member is printed पश्चम; the word is पञ्चम (5) — ñca misread as śca. lava is left untranslated: since the numbers run to 23 the division cannot be the navāṃśa; degrees of the sign (1–30) fit, and so would a twenty-four-fold division, and the sūtra does not say which. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads विधुरष्टमनवमत्रयोविंशद्वाविंशपञ्चमप्रथमचतुर्थत्रयोविंशाष्टादशविंशैकविंशदशमलवस्थो; this sentence names पश्चम, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

रात्रौ षष्ठाष्टमगश्चन्द्रः शुक्ले सर्वारिष्टहरः ।

rātrau ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamagaścandraḥ śukle sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ |

The Moon in the sixth or the eighth house at a birth by night, in the bright fortnight — removes all ariṣṭa ⟨every danger to life⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: This sūtra opens the ariṣṭa-bhaṅga series that runs to the end of the unit (109–120): each states a configuration that cancels the death-yogas just given. Its mirror is 113 — dark fortnight, day birth.

सौम्यभांशगाः सौम्याः सर्वारिष्टहराः।

saumyabhāṃśagāḥ saumyāḥ sarvāriṣṭaharāḥ|

Benefics placed in the signs and the aṃśas of benefics remove all ariṣṭa.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: saumya is here the class (benefic), not Mercury: the same word is both subject and qualifier.

भेशे केन्द्रे वा सौम्ये केन्द्रे सर्वारिष्टहरः ।

bheśe kendre vā saumye kendre sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ |

The lord of the ⟨birth⟩ sign in a kendra, or a benefic in a kendra — removes all ariṣṭa.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bheśa, 'lord of the sign', is unspecified; the surrounding sūtras are all reckoned from the Moon or the lagna, and the birth-sign (janma-rāśi) lord is the likelier reading. The text does not say.

शीर्षोदयगाः सर्वे सर्वारिष्टहराः ।

śīrṣodayagāḥ sarve sarvāriṣṭaharāḥ |

All ⟨the grahas⟩ placed in head-rising signs remove all ariṣṭa.

षष्ठाष्टमगे कृष्णे चन्द्रे दिवा पापदृष्टे सर्वारिष्टहरः ।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamage kṛṣṇe candre divā pāpadṛṣṭe sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ |

The Moon in the sixth or the eighth house in the dark fortnight at a birth by day, aspected by malefics — removes all ariṣṭa.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The malefic aspect is part of the cancelling condition, not an objection to it — the sūtra reads as printed, and is the day/dark-fortnight counterpart of 109.

स्वोच्चसुहृद्भे चन्द्रे सर्वारिष्टहरः ।

svoccasuhṛdbhe candre sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ |

The Moon in its own sign, in its exaltation, or in a friend's sign — removes all ariṣṭa.

चन्द्रात् खे जीवो व्यये ज्ञाच्छौ लाभे खलाः सर्वारिष्टहरः।

candrāt khe jīvo vyaye jñācchau lābhe khalāḥ sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ|

Reckoned from the Moon: Jupiter in the tenth house, Mercury and Venus in the twelfth, malefics in the eleventh — removes all ariṣṭa.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kha = the tenth house, vyaya = the twelfth, lābha = the eleventh; khala = malefic. The pair jña + accha in the twelfth is what makes the reading accha = Venus most probable (see 94): a benefic pair in the twelfth from the Moon with malefics in the eleventh is the standard shape of this cancellation.

कर्काजे इन्दौ केन्द्रे सद्दृष्टे सर्वारिष्टहरः ।

karkāje indau kendre saddṛṣṭe sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ |

The Moon in Cancer or in Aries, in a kendra, aspected by benefics — removes all ariṣṭa.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aja = Aries; sad-dṛṣṭe = aspected by the good ones, i.e. by benefics.

कर्काजवृषेऽङ्गे राहौ सर्वारिष्टहरः ।

karkājavṛṣe'ṅge rāhau sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ |

Rāhu in the lagna, that being Cancer, Aries or Taurus — removes all ariṣṭa.

केन्द्रे तदग्रे च सर्वखेटाः सर्वारिष्टहरः।

kendre tadagre ca sarvakheṭāḥ sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ|

All the grahas in the kendras and in the ⟨houses⟩ next after them — removes all ariṣṭa.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kheṭa = graha. tad-agre, 'in front of those', is the houses immediately following the kendras — the paṇapharas, 2, 5, 8 and 11. The sūtra states the relation and not the numbers, and the rendering keeps it that way.

शुभभे पूर्णेन्दौ सर्वारिष्टहरः ।

śubhabhe pūrṇendau sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ |

The full Moon in a benefic's sign — removes all ariṣṭa.

षष्ठाष्टमे चन्द्रे शुभवर्गगे सर्वारिष्टहरः।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame candre śubhavargage sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ|

The Moon in the sixth or the eighth house but placed in benefic vargas — removes all ariṣṭa.

इन्द्वङ्गौ सर्वग्रहदृष्टौ सर्वारिष्टहरः ।

indvaṅgau sarvagrahadṛṣṭau sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ |

The Moon (indu) and the aṅga ⟨the ascendant, lagna⟩ aspected by all the grahas — all ariṣṭa ⟨every evil threatening the newborn⟩ is removed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅga ('the body') is this section's ordinary name for the lagna; sūtras 124, 135, 141 and 142 use it in exactly that slot. ariṣṭa here is the Sūtikā-tattva's subject: the evils, above all early death, that threaten the newborn. The predicate sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ is nominative singular masculine and is repeated verbatim through 128 as the section's refrain; it is rendered impersonally ('all ariṣṭa is removed') throughout.

शुभांशे केन्द्रे कोणे शुक्रदृष्टे चन्द्रे सर्वारिष्टहरः।

śubhāṃśe kendre koṇe śukradṛṣṭe candre sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ|

The Moon in a benefic's aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩, standing in a kendra or a koṇa ⟨trikoṇa⟩, and aspected by Venus — all ariṣṭa is removed.

बली शुभः केन्द्रगो लाभे सूर्यः सर्वारिष्टहरः ।

balī śubhaḥ kendrago lābhe sūryaḥ sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ |

A strong benefic in a kendra, and the Sun in the 11th (lābha) — all ariṣṭa is removed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Read as two conditions: balī śubhaḥ kendragaḥ | lābhe sūryaḥ. Taking lābhe with the benefic instead would leave sūryaḥ without a place, so the 11th is assigned to the Sun.

सबलेऽङ्गपे शुभमात्रदृष्टे सर्वारिष्टहरः।

sabale'ṅgape śubhamātradṛṣṭe sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ|

The lord of the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩ strong and aspected by benefics only — all ariṣṭa is removed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śubha-mātra-dṛṣṭe is exclusive: benefics and no one else aspect it. The mātra recurs at 126, 127 and 132, and at 132 it does the same exclusive work for malefics.

जीवे स्वभोच्चगे केन्द्रे सर्वारिष्टहरः ।

jīve svabhoccage kendre sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ |

Jupiter (jīva) in a kendra that is his own sign or his exaltation — all ariṣṭa is removed.

पापाः शुभवर्गगाः शुभमात्रदृष्टाः सर्वारिष्टहरः ।

pāpāḥ śubhavargagāḥ śubhamātradṛṣṭāḥ sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ |

Malefics standing in benefic vargas and aspected by benefics only — all ariṣṭa is removed.

जायारिगो राहुः शुभमात्रदृष्टयुतः सर्वारिष्टहरः ।

jāyārigo rāhuḥ śubhamātradṛṣṭayutaḥ sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ |

Rāhu in the 7th (jāyā) or the 6th (ari), joined with and aspected by benefics only — all ariṣṭa is removed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: jāyā ('the wife') is the 7th house and ari the 6th; the compound jāyāri-gaḥ offers the two places alternatively.

सर्वे बलिनो वा नृराशिगा वा मित्रभगा वा शुभभगा वा शुभवर्गगाः सर्वारिष्टहरः।

sarve balino vā nṛrāśigā vā mitrabhagā vā śubhabhagā vā śubhavargagāḥ sarvāriṣṭaharaḥ|

All ⟨the grahas⟩ strong, or in human (biped) signs, or in the signs of friends, or in the signs of benefics, or in benefic vargas — all ariṣṭa is removed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Five alternatives, each marked by vā. bha in mitra-bhagāḥ / śubha-bhagāḥ is taken as rāśi, as at 143 (eka-bhagau, 'in one and the same sign'); the word can also mean nakṣatra, and the sūtra does not disambiguate.

षष्ठाष्टमेशौ चन्द्रारयुतौ तुर्यगौ जारजः ।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭameśau candrārayutau turyagau jārajaḥ |

The lords of the 6th and the 8th, joined with the Moon and Mars, standing in the 4th (turya) — ⟨the child is⟩ born of an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: jāraja = 'born of a jāra', a paramour — the child is not the husband's. The verdict is stated flatly and is left flat here; sūtras 129–148 are one run of it, and 149–150 cancel it.

षष्ठाङ्केशौ पापयुतौ जारजः।

ṣaṣṭhāṅkeśau pāpayutau jārajaḥ|

The lords of the 6th and the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩ joined with malefics — born of an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints ṣaṣṭhāṅkeśau, with aṅka; read as aṅga (the lagna), the word this section uses for the 1st at 121, 124, 135, 136, 141, 142 and 149, ka/ga being an akṣara-level confusion of exactly the kind this OCR is declared to make. If aṅka were kept as a number-word it would give the 9th, and the pair would be the lords of the 6th and 9th. The sense of the sūtra — two house-lords with malefics — survives either reading; the house does not.

षष्ठाङ्केशयोर्मन्दयोगे शूद्रजो ज्ञयोगे वैश्यजोऽर्कयोगे क्षत्रजो जीवशुक्रान्यतरयोगे ब्राह्मणजो जारजः।

ṣaṣṭhāṅkeśayormandayoge śūdrajo jñayoge vaiśyajo'rkayoge kṣatrajo jīvaśukrānyatarayoge brāhmaṇajo jārajaḥ|

When the lords of the 6th and the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩ are in conjunction with Saturn, ⟨the child is⟩ born of a śūdra; in conjunction with Mercury, born of a vaiśya; in conjunction with the Sun, born of a kṣatriya; in conjunction with either one of the two, Jupiter or Venus, born of a brāhmaṇa — born of an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The same ṣaṣṭhāṅkeśa- compound as 130, read the same way. The four grahas name the varṇa of the adulterer, not of the child's mother's husband; anyatara is 'either one of the two', so Jupiter and Venus give one verdict between them. Four graha-to-varṇa assignments, in the printed order: manda→śūdra, jña→vaiśya, arka→kṣatriya, jīva/śukra→brāhmaṇa.

अंशे पापमात्रसम्बन्धे जारजः ।

aṃśe pāpamātrasambandhe jārajaḥ |

The aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa⟩ in relation with malefics alone — born of an adulterer.

2 notes on this verse
  • About this edition: SOURCE MARKUP DEFECT, recovered: in the e-text this sūtra's opening does not match the shape the other 2,269 use — a comma stands where the full stop after the number belongs. The aphorism itself is complete and its number legible, so nothing was emended; this is recorded only so that a reader comparing our text against the file is not left to work out why that line looked different. A parse that required the tidy shape would have dropped this sūtra and left a hole indistinguishable from a number the edition never printed.
  • About this edition: The sūtra says only aṃśe, without naming whose aṃśa; the lagna's is the natural supply from 122 and is bracketed as supplied in the Hindi. The edition's markup defect flagged on this sūtra (a comma where the stop after the number belongs) touches the number, not the words, and nothing was emended.

केन्द्रे सोत्थेशयोगे जारजः।

kendre sottheśayoge jārajaḥ|

Conjunction with the lord of the sottha ⟨the 3rd⟩ in a kendra — born of an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sottha is taken as sahottha, 'arisen together' — the co-born, hence the 3rd house; the same word stands in the same house-slot at 136. The reading is not certain: the printing may have lost the ha, or the text may abbreviate. Note also that the sūtra names one party to the yoga only — with whom the 3rd lord is joined in the kendra is not said, and nothing has been supplied.

द्वित्रिपञ्चारीशा लग्नगा जारजः।

dvitripañcārīśā lagnagā jārajaḥ|

The lords of the 2nd, the 3rd, the 5th and the 6th (ari) standing in the lagna — born of an adulterer.

पापेऽङ्गे शुभे द्यूने खे मन्दे जारजः ।

pāpe'ṅge śubhe dyūne khe mande jārajaḥ |

A malefic in the aṅga ⟨the 1st⟩, a benefic in the 7th (dyūna), Saturn in the 10th (kha) — born of an adulterer.

चन्द्रेऽङ्गे सुते शुक्रे सोत्थे भौमे जारजः ।

candre'ṅge sute śukre sotthe bhaume jārajaḥ |

The Moon in the aṅga ⟨the 1st⟩, Venus in the 5th (suta), Mars in the sottha ⟨the 3rd⟩ — born of an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sottha read as at 133 (sahottha, the 3rd). The reading is supported by the shape of the sūtra: three grahas each get one house, so the third word must be a house-name.

लग्नेऽर्के सुखे राहौ पितृव्यजः ।

lagne'rke sukhe rāhau pitṛvyajaḥ |

The Sun in the lagna and Rāhu in the 4th (sukha) — ⟨the child is⟩ begotten by the paternal uncle.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pitṛvya is the father's brother specifically, not any uncle; the sūtra names him and is not softened.

लग्ने राह्वारौ पुष्पवन्तौ द्यूने नीचजः।

lagne rāhvārau puṣpavantau dyūne nīcajaḥ|

Rāhu and Mars in the lagna, the two flower-bearers ⟨the Sun and the Moon⟩ in the 7th (dyūna) — ⟨the child is⟩ begotten by a low-born man.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two source points. (1) The e-text prints chūne; read as dyūne, the 7th, which the same section prints correctly at 135 — the dyū and chū ligatures are the confusion. (2) nīca here is social, not technical: nīca-ja is 'born of a base/low-caste man', not 'born of a debilitated graha'. The glossary's nīca = 'debilitated' is a graha-state and does not apply to this word. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads द्यूने; this sentence names chūne, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

शून्येषु केन्द्रेषु जारजः।

śūnyeṣu kendreṣu jārajaḥ|

The kendras empty — born of an adulterer.

सर्वे द्विषष्ठाष्टान्त्येषु जारजः ।

sarve dviṣaṣṭhāṣṭāntyeṣu jārajaḥ |

All ⟨the grahas⟩ in the 2nd, the 6th, the 8th and the 12th (antya) — born of an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: antya, 'the last', is the 12th.

जीववर्गहीनेऽङ्गे जारजः ।

jīvavargahīne'ṅge jārajaḥ |

The aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩ devoid of Jupiter's vargas — born of an adulterer.

खेऽङ्गे तुर्ये सपापचन्द्रे चन्द्रलग्नौ गुर्वदृष्टौ जारजः ।

khe'ṅge turye sapāpacandre candralagnau gurvadṛṣṭau jārajaḥ |

The Moon with a malefic in the 10th (kha), the aṅga ⟨the 1st⟩ or the 4th (turya), and the Moon and the lagna unaspected by Jupiter — born of an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The three locatives khe / aṅge / turye are taken as the alternative seats of the malefic-joined Moon; gurv-adṛṣṭau is a negative — Jupiter does NOT aspect them.

पुष्पवन्तावेकभगौ गुर्वदृष्टौ जारजः ।

puṣpavantāvekabhagau gurvadṛṣṭau jārajaḥ |

The two flower-bearers ⟨the Sun and the Moon⟩ in one and the same sign, unaspected by Jupiter — born of an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: puṣpavantau, the dual, is the standing kośa-name for the Sun and Moon together; the same dual is used at 138.

लग्नाम्बुषष्ठधर्मपयोगे जारजः।

lagnāmbuṣaṣṭhadharmapayoge jārajaḥ|

Conjunction of the lords of the lagna, the 4th (ambu), the 6th and the 9th (dharma) — born of an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ambu ('water') is the 4th. The compound carries a single -pa at the end governing all four houses.

धर्मे सुखे च पापेऽङ्गपेऽबले जारजः ।

dharme sukhe ca pāpe'ṅgape'bale jārajaḥ |

A malefic in the 9th (dharma) and in the 4th (sukha), and the lord of the lagna without strength — born of an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pāpe is singular and is kept singular over both houses rather than pluralised.

सुखे पापान्तरे लग्नपेऽबले पापदृष्टे जारजः ।

sukhe pāpāntare lagnape'bale pāpadṛṣṭe jārajaḥ |

The 4th (sukha) between malefics, and the lord of the lagna weak and aspected by a malefic — born of an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pāpāntare is read as the hemming figure — malefics on either side of the 4th (pāpa-kartari). A flatter reading, 'in the interval of a malefic', is grammatically open; the sūtra does not settle it.

दारेशे धने सपापे भौमदृष्टे जारजः।

dāreśe dhane sapāpe bhaumadṛṣṭe jārajaḥ|

The lord of the 7th (dāra) in the 2nd (dhana) with a malefic and aspected by Mars — born of an adulterer.

चन्द्रमन्दयोगे जारजः ।

candramandayoge jārajaḥ |

Conjunction of the Moon and Saturn (manda) — born of an adulterer.

लग्नपेऽङ्गे वा लग्नद्रष्टरि जारजयोगे भङ्गः।

lagnape'ṅge vā lagnadraṣṭari jārajayoge bhaṅgaḥ|

The lord of the lagna in the aṅga ⟨the lagna itself⟩, or aspecting the lagna — the jāraja yoga is broken.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bhaṅga is cancellation: the combination stands in the chart but does not deliver its verdict. 149 and 150 close the run 129–148.

लग्ने जीवयुतदृष्टे जारजयोगे भङ्गः ।

lagne jīvayutadṛṣṭe jārajayoge bhaṅgaḥ |

The lagna joined with or aspected by Jupiter (jīva) — the jāraja yoga is broken.

लग्नचन्द्रान्यतरो जीवभवर्गान्यतरगो जारजयोगे भङ्गः।

lagnacandrānyataro jīvabhavargānyatarago jārajayoge bhaṅgaḥ|

If either the lagna or the Moon occupies one or another of the vargas of Jupiter's sign, there is cancellation (bhaṅga) ⟨of⟩ the jāraja-yoga — the combination for birth from a paramour.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: जीवभवर्ग = jīva-bha-varga, the vargas of Jupiter's own sign (bha = rāśi); अन्यतर stands twice — 'either of the two' (lagna/Moon) and 'one or another' (of those vargas).

यदवयवे कुजार्कौ तत्रारक्तचिह्नम् ।

yadavayave kujārkau tatrāraktacihnam |

In whichever limb ⟨is signified by the sign where⟩ Mars and the Sun ⟨stand⟩, there is a reddish mark.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints कुजाकौं; the reading is कुजार्कौ (kuja + arkau, Mars and the Sun) — the repha of र्क is dropped here as it is elsewhere in this printing, and the dual is confirmed by the parallel राह्वर्कजौ in 153. आरक्त is 'somewhat red', not plain red. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads कुजार्कौ; this sentence names कुजाकौं, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

राह्वर्कजौ यत्र तत्र श्यामचिह्नम् ।

rāhvarkajau yatra tatra śyāmacihnam |

Where Rāhu and Saturn ⟨stand⟩, there ⟨is⟩ a dark mark.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अर्कज, 'the Sun's son' = Saturn. The limb is supplied from 152, which this sūtra continues.

लग्नगाश्चन्द्राराच्छाः शिरसि चिह्नम् ।

lagnagāścandrārācchāḥ śirasi cihnam |

The Moon, Mars and Venus placed in the lagna — the mark is on the head.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अच्छ (accha, 'the clear/bright one') is Venus. The epithet is rare and is not in our glossary; the 1941 edition's own facing English renders it Venus both here and at 158, and the word's sense ('clear, transparent') matches Venus's other names सित/शुक्र ('white, bright'). It cannot be Sun, Moon or Rāhu, each of which is named alongside अच्छ elsewhere in this work (C.244 भान्वच्छ, C.290/336 इन्द्वच्छ, B.158 राह्वच्छ).

शुक्रेऽङ्गे रन्ध्रे राहौ मस्तके वा वामकर्णे चिह्नम् ।

śukre'ṅge randhre rāhau mastake vā vāmakarṇe cihnam |

Venus in the lagna (aṅga) ⟨and⟩ Rāhu in the 8th (randhra) — the mark is on the head or on the left ear.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वामकर्णे is the LEFT ear. The 1941 edition's facing English prints 'right ear', which the Sanskrit does not support — वाम is left, and this same text uses वामपादे for the left foot two sūtras later (158).

आरेऽङ्गे कोणे मन्दे लिङ्गे गुदसमीपे वा चिह्नम् ।

āre'ṅge koṇe mande liṅge gudasamīpe vā cihnam |

Mars in the lagna (aṅga) ⟨and⟩ Saturn in a trikoṇa — the mark is on the genitals or near the anus.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कोण = त्रिकोण, a trine (1, 5, 9). लिङ्ग is the organ of generation; the sūtra names the two places plainly and is rendered plainly.

ज्ञेज्यौ रन्ध्रे कोणे शुक्रे सुखाङ्गे मन्दे जठरे चिह्नम् ।

jñejyau randhre koṇe śukre sukhāṅge mande jaṭhare cihnam |

Mercury and Jupiter in the 8th (randhra), Venus in a trikoṇa, Saturn in the 4th (sukha) ⟨or⟩ the lagna (aṅga) — the mark is on the belly.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सुखाङ्गे is read as a samāhāra-dvandva सुख + अङ्ग, i.e. the 4th house and the 1st; the 1941 edition's English reads it the same way ('the 4th or 1st'). The four locatives pair off as graha + place, as they do in 155, 156 and 158; the sūtra gives no conjunction, so whether the three conditions are cumulative or alternative is left as the Sanskrit leaves it.

राह्वच्छौ तुर्ये मन्दे कुजे वाऽङ्गे वामपादे चिह्नम् ।

rāhvacchau turye mande kuje vā'ṅge vāmapāde cihnam |

Rāhu and Venus in the 4th (turya), ⟨and⟩ Saturn or Mars in the lagna (aṅga) — the mark is on the left foot.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अच्छ = Venus, as at 154 (see the note there). वा joins मन्दे and कुजे only — the Rāhu–Venus pair is not an alternative but a second condition.

यस्य राजयोगो भङ्गरहितस्तस्य करचरणान्यतरत्र राजचिह्नम् ।

yasya rājayogo bhaṅgarahitastasya karacaraṇānyataratra rājacihnam |

He whose rājayoga is free of cancellation (bhaṅga) — on one or other of his hands or feet there is a royal mark.

चन्द्रार्कौ यदङ्गगौ तदङ्गे चिह्नम् ।

candrārkau yadaṅgagau tadaṅge cihnam |

In whichever limb the Moon and the Sun are placed, on that limb ⟨there is⟩ a mark.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR breaks the word: चन्द्रा र्कौ is चन्द्रार्कौ, the Moon and the Sun in the dual.

वर्गोत्तमेऽङ्गे वा चन्द्रे शुभं जन्म ।

vargottame'ṅge vā candre śubhaṃ janma |

The lagna (aṅga), or the Moon, in vargottama — the birth is auspicious.

सूर्याद्धने सद्ग्रहे शुभं जन्म ।

sūryāddhane sadgrahe śubhaṃ janma |

A benefic (sadgraha) in the 2nd (dhana) from the Sun — the birth is auspicious.

एकस्मिन्नपि केन्द्रे ग्रहयुते शुभं जन्म ।

ekasminnapi kendre grahayute śubhaṃ janma |

Even a single kendra joined by a graha — the birth is auspicious.

आत्मकारके सबले शुभं जन्म ।

ātmakārake sabale śubhaṃ janma |

The ātmakāraka being strong (sabala) — the birth is auspicious.

लग्ननन्दांशपतुल्याकारो वा वीर्याधिकग्रहतुल्यतनुः ।

lagnanandāṃśapatulyākāro vā vīryādhikagrahatulyatanuḥ |

⟨The native's⟩ form is like the lord of the lagna's navāṃśa; or his body is like the graha of greatest strength (vīrya).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नन्दांश: नन्द is the number-word for nine, so नन्दांश = नवांश, the ninth division.

चन्द्राक्रान्तनवांशपवर्णः ।

candrākrāntanavāṃśapavarṇaḥ |

⟨His⟩ complexion (varṇa) is that of the lord of the navāṃśa the Moon occupies.

सूर्यो यस्य त्रिंशांशे तद्गुणभाक् ।

sūryo yasya triṃśāṃśe tadguṇabhāk |

In whose triṃśāṃśa the Sun stands, ⟨the native⟩ partakes of that ⟨graha's⟩ qualities.

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: “इतिमहादेवकृतजातकतत्वे प्रसूतिकातत्वं द्वितीयम् ।”
  • About this edition: यस्य is taken of the triṃśāṃśa's owning graha (the triṃśāṃśas belong to Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus), so तद्गुण = that graha's qualities; the parallel of 165–166, where the native takes after a navāṃśa LORD, supports this over reading तद् of the division itself. The colophon printed after this sūtra carries no number and is not translated here.

Adhyāya 3 · C. III. प्रकीर्णतत्त्वम्

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.

  • 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.

1 note on this verse
  • 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.

Adhyāya 4 · D. अथ धनविवेकः

धनेऽङ्गेशे खे लाभपे धनेशांशेशे शुभे नामतो धनी ।

dhane'ṅgeśe khe lābhape dhaneśāṃśeśe śubhe nāmato dhanī |

With the lord of the lagna in the 2nd, the lord of the 11th in the 10th, and the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 2nd being a benefic, ⟨the native is⟩ wealthy in name.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: nāmato dhanī opens this chapter's ascending scale of wealth (dhanī → sadyo dhanī → svalpadhana → bahudhana → mahādhanī → sahasraniṣkeśa) and stands at its lowest rung. It holds two senses at once — 'renowned as wealthy' and 'wealthy in name ⟨only⟩'; English must lean one way, and the Hindi नाम से धनी keeps both open. aṃśeśa throughout this chapter = the lord of the navāṃśa a given graha occupies.

चन्द्राच्छुभैरुपचयगैः सद्यो धनी ।

candrācchubhairupacayagaiḥ sadyo dhanī |

With benefics placed in the upacaya houses (the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th) from the Moon, ⟨the native becomes⟩ wealthy at once.

खेशांशेशायेशौ युतौ सद्यो धनी ।

kheśāṃśeśāyeśau yutau sadyo dhanī |

The lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 10th and the lord of the 11th being joined, ⟨he is⟩ wealthy at once.

खार्थपौ युतौ केन्द्रकोणगौ सद्यो धनी।

khārthapau yutau kendrakoṇagau sadyo dhanī|

The lords of the 10th and the 2nd being joined and placed in a kendra or a trikoṇa, ⟨he is⟩ wealthy at once.

सिंहासने धनेशे धनी ।

siṃhāsane dhaneśe dhanī |

With the lord of the 2nd in siṃhāsana, ⟨he is⟩ wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: siṃhāsana ('lion-throne') is one of the named varga-dignities of the daśavarga reckoning — a grade earned by how many divisional charts place the graha in its own or a friendly sign — not a house or a sign. It is left in Sanskrit for that reason; gopura (sūtra 30) and vaiśeṣikāṃśa (13, 14, 16) belong to the same set.

धनेशाद्धनपाङ्गेशौ केन्द्रगौ धनी ।

dhaneśāddhanapāṅgeśau kendragau dhanī |

From the lord of the 2nd, the lord of the 2nd and the lord of the lagna being in kendras, ⟨he is⟩ wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: As printed, dhaneśa (the reckoning-point) and dhanapa (one of the pair) both name the lord of the 2nd, so the sūtra measures that lord from itself — which cannot be intended. The legible sense is that the lord of the 2nd and the lord of the lagna stand in kendras from some point; which point, the OCR does not deliver, and the edition's own akṣara-level errors (declared in this file's profile) are the likely cause. Settled only on the plates. Rendered literally rather than repaired.

चतुर्षु स्वर्क्षगेषु धनी।

caturṣu svarkṣageṣu dhanī|

When four ⟨grahas⟩ are in their own signs, ⟨he is⟩ wealthy.

बल्यर्थेशः खायाङ्कगो धनी ।

balyartheśaḥ khāyāṅkago dhanī |

The strong lord of the 2nd placed in the 10th, the 11th or the lagna ⟨makes one⟩ wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed khāyāṅka-ga reads aṅka where the sense wants aṅga (the lagna) — a क/ग misread of the kind this OCR makes, and aṅga is the word this very chapter uses for the lagna in sūtras 1, 21–26 and 30. Read as a number-word aṅka could instead give the 9th, but nothing else in the chapter supports that. The 10th and the 11th are certain; the third place is not.

चन्द्रारयोगे धनी।

candrārayoge dhanī|

In the conjunction of the Moon and Mars, ⟨he is⟩ wealthy.

केन्द्रकोणेऽर्थेशे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे स्वल्पधनम् ।

kendrakoṇe'rtheśe krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe svalpadhanam |

With the lord of the 2nd in a kendra or a trikoṇa ⟨but⟩ in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, ⟨there is⟩ scant wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ṣaṣṭyaṃśa = the sixtieth division of a sign; its sixty parts carry benefic and malefic names (the chapter-A sūtra 22 of this same edition lists them). The verse says svalpadhanam, 'scant wealth', of the wealth itself; sūtra 11 says svalpadhanī, 'a man of scant wealth' — the difference is kept.

lābheśāṃśeśe krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe śukrajīvānyatarayutadṛṣṭe svalpadhanī |

When the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 11th is in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa and is joined or aspected by either Venus or Jupiter, ⟨he is⟩ a man of scant wealth.

सौम्यैरुपचयगैर्बहुधनः ।

saumyairupacayagairbahudhanaḥ |

With benefics in the upacaya houses, ⟨he has⟩ much wealth.

  • About this edition: saumyaiḥ here is the class 'benefics' (plural), not Mercury.

लग्नेशांशेशे बलाढ्ये वैशेषिकांशे शुभदृष्टे बहुधनः ।

lagneśāṃśeśe balāḍhye vaiśeṣikāṃśe śubhadṛṣṭe bahudhanaḥ |

When the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the lagna is strong, stands in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa and is aspected by a benefic, ⟨he has⟩ much wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vaiśeṣikāṃśa is the general term for the varga-dignities of the daśavarga/ṣoḍaśavarga reckoning (pārijāta, gopura, siṃhāsana and the rest), earned by a graha's dignity across the divisional charts. Kept in Sanskrit; not a single named division.

खेशांशेशे वैशेषिकांशे शुभदृष्टे बहुधनः ।

kheśāṃśeśe vaiśeṣikāṃśe śubhadṛṣṭe bahudhanaḥ |

When the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 10th stands in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa and is aspected by a benefic, ⟨he has⟩ much wealth.

केन्द्रचतुष्टये शुभान्विते महाधनी ।

kendracatuṣṭaye śubhānvite mahādhanī |

The four kendras being occupied by benefics, ⟨he is⟩ greatly wealthy.

लग्नार्थायेशा वैशेषिकांशे महाधनी ।

lagnārthāyeśā vaiśeṣikāṃśe mahādhanī |

The lords of the lagna, the 2nd and the 11th being in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, ⟨he is⟩ greatly wealthy.

कर्के ज्ञे मन्दे लाभे महाधनी।

karke jñe mande lābhe mahādhanī|

With Mercury in Cancer and Saturn in the 11th, ⟨he is⟩ greatly wealthy.

स्वर्क्षे सुते लाभे मन्दे महाधनी ।

svarkṣe sute lābhe mande mahādhanī |

With Saturn in his own sign in the 5th ⟨or⟩ the 11th, ⟨he is⟩ greatly wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Four locatives (svarkṣe, sute, lābhe, mande) and only one graha named. Taken here as Saturn alone: in his own sign, in the 5th or the 11th. The other open parse is 'a ⟨graha⟩ in its own sign in the 5th, and Saturn in the 11th' — which reads naturally beside sūtras 17, 19 and 20, each of which pairs two grahas, but requires an unnamed graha the sūtra does not supply. Rendered on the reading that invents nothing.

लाभे जीवे स्वर्क्षेऽर्के पञ्चमे महाधनी ।

lābhe jīve svarkṣe'rke pañcame mahādhanī |

With Jupiter in the 11th and the Sun in his own sign in the 5th, ⟨he is⟩ greatly wealthy.

स्वर्क्षे गुरौ पुत्रे चन्द्रे महाधनी ।

svarkṣe gurau putre candre mahādhanī |

With Jupiter in his own sign and the Moon in the 5th, ⟨he is⟩ greatly wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: svarkṣe gurau putre candre pairs off as it stands: Jupiter in his own sign, the Moon in the 5th — the same two-graha shape as sūtras 17 and 19. It could also be read 'Jupiter in his own sign in the 5th, ⟨with⟩ the Moon', joining both grahas in one house; the word order does not settle it.

सिंहेऽर्केऽङ्गे गुर्वारयुते महाधनी ।

siṃhe'rke'ṅge gurvārayute mahādhanī |

With the Sun in Leo as the lagna, joined by Jupiter and Mars, ⟨he is⟩ greatly wealthy.

कर्केऽङ्गे चन्द्रे गुर्वारयुते महाधनी ।

karke'ṅge candre gurvārayute mahādhanī |

With the Moon in Cancer as the lagna, joined by Jupiter and Mars, ⟨he is⟩ greatly wealthy.

भौमेऽङ्गे स्वर्क्षे मन्दाच्छज्ञयुते महाधनी ।

bhaume'ṅge svarkṣe mandācchajñayute mahādhanī |

With Mars in the lagna in his own sign, joined by Saturn (manda), Venus (accha) and Mercury (jña), ⟨he is⟩ greatly wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08. मन्दाच्छज्ञयुते is manda + accha + jña — Saturn, Venus and Mercury. The earlier note supplied THE SUN here (and at 25 and 27) on a theory that च्छ was a misreading of र्क; that theory is refuted, because the same akṣaras are printed and englished with Venus all over this book. 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'.

जीवेऽङ्गे स्वर्क्षे चन्द्रारयुते महाधनी ।

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08, with sūtras 23 and 27. मन्दाच्छ is manda + accha, Saturn and Venus; the earlier note supplied the Sun. अच्छ (accha) is this text's own name for VENUS.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Here candrārka is printed cleanly — the same र्क ligature that sūtras 23, 25 and 27 lose. That is the internal control for the emendation proposed on those three.

कन्यायां यमारराह्वच्छा महाधनी ।

kanyāyāṃ yamārarāhvacchā mahādhanī |

With Saturn (yama), Mars (āra), Rāhu and Venus (accha) in Virgo, ⟨he is⟩ greatly wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08, with sūtras 23 and 25. राह्वच्छा is rāhu + acchā, and the nominative plural then agrees with the four grahas yama (Saturn), āra (Mars), Rāhu and Venus. The earlier note supplied the Sun. 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.

लग्नपांशेशे धनपांशेशे च सौम्ये गुरुदृष्टे सहस्रनिष्केशः।

lagnapāṃśeśe dhanapāṃśeśe ca saumye gurudṛṣṭe sahasraniṣkeśaḥ|

When the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the lagna and the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 2nd are benefic and aspected by Jupiter, ⟨he becomes⟩ lord of a thousand niṣkas.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: saumye is singular against a two-fold subject and is taken as the predicate 'benefic'; read as the graha it would mean both navāṃśa-lords are Mercury. niṣka is a gold coin (also a weight of gold); sahasraniṣkeśa is the top grade of this chapter's scale and is left in Sanskrit rather than converted to any modern sum.

लग्नपेऽर्थे लाभेशे कर्मगे गुरुदृष्टे सहस्रनिष्केशः।

lagnape'rthe lābheśe karmage gurudṛṣṭe sahasraniṣkeśaḥ|

When the lord of the lagna is in the 2nd, the lord of the 11th is in the 10th, and ⟨they are⟩ aspected by Jupiter, ⟨he becomes⟩ lord of a thousand niṣkas.

अङ्गेशांशेशे गोपुरे कर्मेशदृष्टे सहस्रनिष्केशः।

When the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the lagna is in gopura and is aspected by the lord of the 10th, ⟨he becomes⟩ lord of a thousand niṣkas.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: gopura, like siṃhāsana in sūtra 5, is a named varga-dignity of the daśavarga reckoning, not a house or a sign.

कर्मेशस्य नवांशसप्तांशेशौ बलाढ्यौ जीवाच्छदृष्टौ द्विसहस्रनिष्केशः।

karmeśasya navāṃśasaptāṃśeśau balāḍhyau jīvācchadṛṣṭau dvisahasraniṣkeśaḥ|

The lords of the navāṃśa and of the saptāṃśa of the lord of the 10th (karmeśa), both abounding in strength and aspected by Jupiter (jīva) and Venus (accha) — ⟨the native is⟩ lord of two thousand niṣkas (gold coins).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08. जीवाच्छदृष्टौ is jīva + accha — aspected by Jupiter AND VENUS. The earlier note read it as jīvāt + ca ('and aspected by Jupiter') and so dropped a planet from the yoga. 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. niṣka is a gold coin/weight, kept untranslated per the GLOSSARY rule on units; the number 2,000 is dvi-sahasra in the mūla. 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 lords of the 2nd (dhana) and of the 11th (āya) in a benefic (saumya) ṣaṣṭyaṃśa and endowed with strength — lord of two thousand niṣkas.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सौम्य here is the CLASS 'benefic' (the ṣaṣṭyāṃśas are themselves graded benefic/malefic), not the graha Mercury — GLOSSARY saumya row, 'note which'.

लग्नेशस्य त्र्यंशेशयुक्तसप्तमांशेशो वैशेषिकांशे अयुतनिष्केशः।

lagneśasya tryaṃśeśayuktasaptamāṃśeśo vaiśeṣikāṃśe ayutaniṣkeśaḥ|

The lord of the saptamāṃśa joined with the lord of the tryaṃśa of the lord of the lagna, ⟨standing⟩ in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa (a distinguished divisional position) — lord of ten thousand (ayuta) niṣkas.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: त्त्र्यंशेश prints a doubled त; read tryaṃśeśa (the lord of the third-part, i.e. the drekkāṇa). ayuta = 10,000 exactly. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads त्र्यंशेशयुक्तसप्तमांशेशो; this sentence names त्त्र्यंशेश, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

शुक्रे स्वान्त्ये जीवेऽर्थे वैशेषिकांशेऽङ्गेशे अयुताधिकनिष्केशः।

Venus (śukra) in his own ⟨sign in⟩ the 12th (antya), Jupiter (jīva) in the 2nd (artha), and the lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa — lord of more than ten thousand (ayuta) niṣkas.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: स्वान्त्ये is a single locative and admits two readings: karmadhāraya 'in his own 12th' (the 12th house being Venus's own sign), which is how it is rendered here, or an elliptical 'in his own ⟨sign⟩ or in the 12th'. No वा is printed, so the first is preferred; the plates decide it.

गुर्वङ्गेशौ धने वैशेषिकांशे केन्द्रकोणे वाऽयुताधिकनिष्केशः।

gurvaṅgeśau dhane vaiśeṣikāṃśe kendrakoṇe vā'yutādhikaniṣkeśaḥ|

Jupiter (guru) and the lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) in the 2nd (dhana) in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, or ⟨else⟩ in a kendra or trikoṇa — lord of more than ten thousand (ayuta) niṣkas.

कर्मेशस्य त्र्यंशेशस्य सप्तांशेशे ऐरावतांशे लक्षाधीशः।

karmeśasya tryaṃśeśasya saptāṃśeśe airāvatāṃśe lakṣādhīśaḥ|

The lord of the saptāṃśa of the lord of the tryaṃśa (drekkāṇa) of the lord of the 10th (karmeśa), ⟨being⟩ in the airāvata aṃśa — lord of a lakh (100,000).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: व्यंश is not a division name in use. It stands one akṣara from त्र्यंश (tryaṃśa, the drekkāṇa — the form this very chapter prints at D.33) and one from द्व्यंश (dvyaṃśa, the horā). Left as printed rather than silently repaired; the 1941 plates settle it. Everything else in the sūtra is legible and the phala (लक्षाधीश, a lakh) is unaffected. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads त्र्यंशेशस्य; this sentence names व्यंश, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सशुभे केन्द्रचतुष्टये धनपे पारावते सिंहासने वा लक्षद्वयेशः।

saśubhe kendracatuṣṭaye dhanape pārāvate siṃhāsane vā lakṣadvayeśaḥ|

The four kendras occupied by benefics, and the lord of the 2nd (dhanapa) in the pārāvata or the siṃhāsana ⟨aṃśa⟩ — lord of two lakhs (200,000).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pārāvata and siṃhāsana are named vaiśeṣikāṃśa grades (as airāvata is at D.36); kept as names, not translated.

लग्नायेशौ वैशेषिकांशगौ सौम्यषष्ट्यंशगौ च त्रिलक्षाधिपः।

lagnāyeśau vaiśeṣikāṃśagau saumyaṣaṣṭyaṃśagau ca trilakṣādhipaḥ|

The lords of the lagna and of the 11th (āya) placed in vaiśeṣikāṃśas and in benefic (saumya) ṣaṣṭyaṃśas — lord of three lakhs (300,000).

धनायधर्मेशाः बलिनः केन्द्रगास्त्रिलक्षाधिपः ।

dhanāyadharmeśāḥ balinaḥ kendragāstrilakṣādhipaḥ |

The lords of the 2nd (dhana), the 11th (āya) and the 9th (dharma), strong and placed in kendras — lord of three lakhs (300,000).

लग्नांशेशभाग्येशौ परमोच्चांशगौ लाभेशो वैशेषिकांशगः कोटीशः।

lagnāṃśeśabhāgyeśau paramoccāṃśagau lābheśo vaiśeṣikāṃśagaḥ koṭīśaḥ|

The lord of the lagna's aṃśa and the lord of the 9th (bhāgya) placed in the aṃśas of their deepest exaltation (paramocca), and the lord of the 11th (lābha) in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa — lord of a crore (koṭi, 10,000,000).

साङ्कार्थेशौ केन्द्रगौ लग्नेशस्यांशेश्वरेण दृष्टौ बाल्ये बहुधनलाभः।

sāṅkārtheśau kendragau lagneśasyāṃśeśvareṇa dṛṣṭau bālye bahudhanalābhaḥ|

Sāṅka and the lord of the 2nd (artha), both in kendras and aspected by the lord of the aṃśa of the lord of the lagna — much wealth is gained in childhood.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: साङ्क is not a technical term of this text and is left untranslated. Two candidates, neither provable from this OCR: शशाङ्क (śaśāṅka, the Moon) — which would suit बाल्ये, childhood — reduced by the loss of an akṣara, or अङ्ग (aṅga, the 1st house) with ग misread as क, the very substitution the edition profile documents at A.22. The compound also parses two ways: 'Sāṅka and the lord of the 2nd' (dvandva of graha + lord) or 'the lords of sāṅka and of the 2nd'. The condition (both in kendras, aspected by the navāṃśa-lord of the lagna-lord) and the phala are intact either way.

लग्नार्थायगैः शुभैर्बलाढ्यैर्धनेशस्यांशेशेन दृष्टैर्बहुधनलाभः ।

lagnārthāyagaiḥ śubhairbalāḍhyairdhaneśasyāṃśeśena dṛṣṭairbahudhanalābhaḥ |

Benefics abounding in strength, placed in the lagna, the 2nd (artha) and the 11th (āya), aspected by the lord of the aṃśa of the lord of the 2nd (dhaneśa) — much wealth is gained.

लाभेशेऽङ्गे लग्नेशेऽर्थे धनेशे लाभे निध्याप्तिः।

lābheśe'ṅge lagneśe'rthe dhaneśe lābhe nidhyāptiḥ|

The lord of the 11th (lābha) in the 1st (aṅga), the lord of the lagna in the 2nd (artha), and the lord of the 2nd (dhana) in the 11th (lābha) — a hidden treasure is obtained (nidhi-āpti).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: निध्याप्तिः = nidhi + āpti, the finding of buried/hoarded treasure, not merely 'gain of wealth' (which this chapter says with धनाप्ति / धनलाभ, e.g. D.49, D.51).

लग्नेशे शुभेऽर्थे निध्याप्तिः ।

lagneśe śubhe'rthe nidhyāptiḥ |

The lord of the lagna, ⟨being⟩ a benefic, in the 2nd (artha) — a hidden treasure is obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुभे is locative singular agreeing with लग्नेशे and is taken as a qualifier of the lagna-lord ('the lord of the lagna, a benefic'). It can also be read as a third item in the locative chain — 'the lord of the lagna and a benefic in the 2nd' — but this text uses the dual for two grahas (लग्नायेशौ, D.38), and no dual is printed here.

सर्वग्रहाधिकबले लग्नपे केन्द्रे जीवयुते वैशेषिकांशेऽर्थेशे स्वोपार्जितधनः ।

sarvagrahādhikabale lagnape kendre jīvayute vaiśeṣikāṃśe'rtheśe svopārjitadhanaḥ |

The lord of the lagna stronger than all the ⟨other⟩ grahas and in a kendra joined with Jupiter (jīva), and the lord of the 2nd (artha) in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa — ⟨his⟩ wealth is self-earned.

अङ्गेशांशेशो बली धनपमित्रं सत्केन्द्रकोणगः स्वोपार्जितधनः।

aṅgeśāṃśeśo balī dhanapamitraṃ satkendrakoṇagaḥ svopārjitadhanaḥ|

The lord of the aṃśa of the lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) strong, a friend of the lord of the 2nd (dhanapa), and placed in an auspicious kendra or trikoṇa — wealth self-earned.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्ङ्गेश prints a doubled ङ्; read aṅgeśa, the lord of the 1st, as elsewhere in this chapter (D.34, D.53). [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads अङ्गेशांशेशो; this sentence names अङ्ङ्गेश, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

लग्नायपयुक्तेऽर्थेशः केन्द्रकोणे शुभदृष्टः कालबलान्वितः स्वोपार्जितधनः ।

The lord of the 2nd (artha) joined with the lords of the lagna and of the 11th (āya), in a kendra or trikoṇa, aspected by benefics and possessed of kāla-bala (temporal strength) — wealth self-earned.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra mixes cases — लग्नायपयुक्ते is locative while अर्थेशः is nominative; rendered on the sense, which is unambiguous.

बलान्वितौ सोत्थगौ धनाङ्गपौ पुङ्ग्रहदृष्टयुक्तौ वैशेषिकांशगसोत्थेशयुतदृष्टौ भ्रातृधनाप्तिः।

balānvitau sotthagau dhanāṅgapau puṅgrahadṛṣṭayuktau vaiśeṣikāṃśagasottheśayutadṛṣṭau bhrātṛdhanāptiḥ|

The lords of the 2nd (dhana) and of the 1st (aṅga), both endowed with strength and placed in the 3rd (sottha, the co-born house), joined with or aspected by masculine grahas (puṃgraha), and joined with or aspected by the lord of the 3rd standing in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa — wealth is obtained from brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सोत्थ = sa+uttha, 'co-arisen', a synonym of सहज for the 3rd house — confirmed by the phala, भ्रातृधनाप्ति. वैशेषिकांशग is taken as qualifying सोत्थेश (the compound वैशेषिकांशगसोत्थेशयुतदृष्टौ), not the pair. New house-synonym for the GLOSSARY: सोत्थ / सोत्थेश → the 3rd house / its lord.

तुर्येशयुक्तदृष्टे धनेशे जननीधनलाभः ।

turyeśayuktadṛṣṭe dhaneśe jananīdhanalābhaḥ |

The lord of the 2nd (dhana) joined with or aspected by the lord of the 4th (turya) — wealth is gained from the mother.

1 note on this verse

कोशेशे रन्ध्रे निध्याप्तिः।

kośeśe randhre nidhyāptiḥ|

The lord of the 2nd (kośa, the treasury) in the 8th (randhra) — a hidden treasure is obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: New house-synonyms for the GLOSSARY: कोश ('treasury') → the 2nd house; रन्ध्र → the 8th house.

धनेशे सुखेशयुतदृष्टे वैशेषिकांशे बन्धुतः कृषेर्वा धनलाभः।

dhaneśe sukheśayutadṛṣṭe vaiśeṣikāṃśe bandhutaḥ kṛṣervā dhanalābhaḥ|

The lord of the 2nd (dhana), joined with or aspected by the lord of the 4th (sukha), in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa — wealth is gained from relatives (bandhu) or from agriculture.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: बन्धुतः is 'from kinsmen' as persons; the 4th house is named here by सुख, so बन्धु is not doing house-duty in this sūtra.

सुतेशतत्कारकाभ्यां युते दृष्टे वाऽर्थेशे बलिनि सुततो धनाप्तिः।

suteśatatkārakābhyāṃ yute dṛṣṭe vā'rtheśe balini sutato dhanāptiḥ|

The lord of the 2nd (artha), strong and joined with or aspected by the lord of the 5th (suta) and its kāraka ⟨Jupiter⟩ — wealth is obtained from sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: तत्कारक, 'its kāraka', is left as the text has it and the identification ⟨Jupiter⟩ is supplied; the same formula runs through D.54–56.

वैशेषिकांशेऽङ्गेशे बलाढ्ये सुपुत्रार्जितधनाप्तिः।

vaiśeṣikāṃśe'ṅgeśe balāḍhye suputrārjitadhanāptiḥ|

The lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) abounding in strength and in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa — wealth earned by a good son is obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: बलाढये and सुपुत्रार्जीत print for बलाढ्ये and सुपुत्रार्जित; ordinary mātrā-level OCR slips, sense untouched. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सुपुत्रार्जितधनाप्तिः and बलाढ्ये; this sentence names सुपुत्रार्जीत and बलाढये, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

षष्ठेशे तत्कारके युतदृष्टेऽर्थेशे बलिनि शत्रुतो धनाप्तिः ।

ṣaṣṭheśe tatkārake yutadṛṣṭe'rtheśe balini śatruto dhanāptiḥ |

The lord of the 2nd (artha), strong and joined with or aspected by the lord of the 6th and its kāraka — wealth is obtained from enemies.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शत्रुतः is 'from an enemy' as a person, not the 6th house — the house is already named षष्ठ in the condition (GLOSSARY ari/ripu/śatru row, 'note which').

जायेशतत्कारकयुतदृष्टेऽर्थेशे बलिनि भार्यातो धनाप्तिः।

jāyeśatatkārakayutadṛṣṭe'rtheśe balini bhāryāto dhanāptiḥ|

The lord of the 2nd (artha), strong and joined with or aspected by the lord of the 7th (jāyā) and its kāraka ⟨Venus⟩ — wealth is obtained from the wife.

खेशतत्कारकयुतदृष्टेऽर्थेशे बलिनि पितृतो धनाप्तिः ।

kheśatatkārakayutadṛṣṭe'rtheśe balini pitṛto dhanāptiḥ |

The lord of the 2nd (artha), strong and joined with or aspected by the lord of the 10th (kha) and its kāraka — wealth is obtained from the father.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ख ('the sky', the zenith) is the 10th house, and this sūtra treats it as the father's house — the same doctrine D.58 uses when it puts the Sun in the 4th for the father's wealth. New house-synonym for the GLOSSARY: ख / खेश → the 10th house / its lord.

कोशेशे बलवति यस्य कारकेण यद्भावेशेन वा युते दृष्टे तद्द्वाराद्धनाप्तिः।

kośeśe balavati yasya kārakeṇa yadbhāveśena vā yute dṛṣṭe taddvārāddhanāptiḥ|

The lord of the 2nd (kośa) being strong, by whichever kāraka or whichever house-lord it is joined or aspected — through that ⟨same channel⟩ wealth is obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: This is the general rule that D.49–56 were instances of. कोशशे prints for कोशेशे, तदद्वारात् doubles the द of तद्द्वारात्, and धनातिः prints for धनाप्तिः — three akṣara-level OCR slips in one line; none of them alters the sense, and धनाप्ति is the word used in every neighbouring sūtra. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads तद्द्वाराद्धनाप्तिः and कोशेशे; this sentence names धनातिः and कोशशे, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

तुर्येऽर्के पितृधनाप्तिः।

turye'rke pitṛdhanāptiḥ|

The Sun (arka) in the 4th (turya) — the father's wealth is obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पितृधनाप्ति is the father's OWN wealth (inheritance), distinct from D.56's पितृतो धनाप्ति, 'wealth from the father'.

लाभेशदिशाया धनाप्तिः।

lābheśadiśāyā dhanāptiḥ|

Wealth is obtained from the direction of the lord of the 11th (lābha).

लाभगतराशिदिशातो धनाप्तिः।

lābhagatarāśidiśāto dhanāptiḥ|

Wealth is obtained from the direction of the rāśi occupying the 11th (lābha).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: D.59 takes the direction from the lord of the 11th, D.60 from the sign standing in the 11th — two different rules, kept distinct.

लाभेशे केन्द्रकोणे लाभे पापे धनलाभः ।

lābheśe kendrakoṇe lābhe pāpe dhanalābhaḥ |

The lord of the 11th (lābheśa) in a kendra or a trikoṇa, ⟨and⟩ a malefic in the 11th: gain of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints लामे (lāme), which is not a word; the OCR has dropped the subscript of भ in लाभे (lābhe, 'in the 11th'), and the sūtra's own first word लाभेशे confirms the reading. Rendered as लाभे. Settle against the 1941 plates. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads लाभे; this sentence names लामे and lāme, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

लाभपे धने धनपे लाभे धनाप्तिः ।

lābhape dhane dhanape lābhe dhanāptiḥ |

The lord of the 11th in the 2nd (dhana) and the lord of the 2nd in the 11th: acquisition of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: A mutual exchange (parivartana) between the 2nd and the 11th lords.

धनायपौ केन्द्रगौ धनाप्तिः ।

dhanāyapau kendragau dhanāptiḥ |

The lords of the 2nd and the 11th (dhana and āya) placed in kendras: acquisition of wealth.

लाभे पारावताद्यंशे धनाप्तिः ।

lābhe pārāvatādyaṃśe dhanāptiḥ |

⟨The lord of⟩ the 11th in the Pārāvata aṃśa or one of the aṃśa-classes beginning with it: acquisition of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: lābhe is a bare locative, 'in the 11th'; the sūtras on either side (61, 65, 66, 67) all take lābheśa as their subject, so the lord is supplied here and marked. pārāvatādyaṃśe names the graded varga-classes (pārijāta, uttama, gopura, siṃhāsana, pārāvata, devaloka …) in which Pārāvata and what follows it are the high grades; the word is left in Sanskrit rather than reduced to a number.

लाभेशे केन्द्रकोणे शुभसम्बन्धे धनाप्तिः।

lābheśe kendrakoṇe śubhasambandhe dhanāptiḥ|

The lord of the 11th in a kendra or a trikoṇa, in relation with a benefic: acquisition of wealth.

शुभान्तरे लाभेशे धनाप्तिः ।

śubhāntare lābheśe dhanāptiḥ |

The lord of the 11th between benefics ⟨hemmed in on either side⟩: acquisition of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śubhāntare is the śubha-kartari configuration — benefics in the signs on both sides.

लाभपस्यांशेशे शुभसम्बन्धे धनाप्तिः ।

lābhapasyāṃśeśe śubhasambandhe dhanāptiḥ |

When the lord of the aṃśa (navāṃśa) occupied by the lord of the 11th is in relation with a benefic: acquisition of wealth.

ज्ञाच्छावर्थे धनलाभः ।

jñācchāvarthe dhanalābhaḥ |

Mercury (jña) and Venus (accha) in the 2nd (artha) — gain of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: TRANSLATED 2026-09-08; until today this sūtra was held at state `ingested`, which meant scripts/translate/build-catalog.mjs dropped even its SANSKRIT from the shipped catalog. The refusal rested on a note claiming that ज्ञाच्छाव- 'does not resolve into any Sanskrit word by any sandhi'. It does, and the sandhi is ordinary: ज्ञाच्छौ + अर्थे → ज्ञाच्छावर्थे (au + a → āv + a). The same sandhi stands six more times in this book — A.54 ज्ञाच्छावरी, C.55 ज्ञाच्छावङ्गे, C.278 चन्द्राच्छावन्त्ये, S.14 मन्दाच्छावन्योन्यांशगौ, S.23 वक्राच्छावन्योन्यांशगा, S.37 ज्ञाच्छावङ्गे — and our own file already renders every one of them with 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. 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'.

रन्ध्रे सौम्या धनलाभः ।

randhre saumyā dhanalābhaḥ |

Benefics in the 8th (randhra): gain of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: saumyāḥ is nominative plural, so the class 'benefics' is meant here, not the graha Mercury.

मेषे चन्द्रे घटे मन्दे नक्रे शुक्रे चापेऽर्के पैतृकं धनं न लभते ।

meṣe candre ghaṭe mande nakre śukre cāpe'rke paitṛkaṃ dhanaṃ na labhate |

The Moon in Meṣa (Aries), Saturn (manda) in Ghaṭa (Kumbha, Aquarius), Venus in Nakra (Makara, Capricorn), the Sun in Cāpa (Dhanus, Sagittarius): he does not obtain paternal wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Four conditions, four grahas, in the order the mūla sets them. Ghaṭa, nakra and cāpa are the ordinary synonyms of Kumbha, Makara and Dhanus; the gloss is supplied, the rāśi count is the text's own.

अंशादङ्के राहौ पराङ्गनासक्तेर्द्रव्यनाशः ।

aṃśādaṅke rāhau parāṅganāsakterdravyanāśaḥ |

Rāhu in the aṅka ⟨the ninth⟩ reckoned from the aṃśa: destruction of property through attachment to other men's women.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṃśādaṅke is the doubtful phrase. aṅka is read as the number-word for nine (the nine digits), giving 'the ninth from the aṃśa'; the printed word is kept in the line and the number supplied in brackets, because the reading is inferred and not certain. The outcome clause (parāṅganāsakter dravyanāśaḥ) is fully legible and unambiguous.

व्यये ज्ञे ज्ञातिविवादाद्धनहानिः ।

vyaye jñe jñātivivādāddhanahāniḥ |

Mercury (jña) in the 12th (vyaya): loss of wealth through quarrel with kinsmen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra puns: jña (Mercury) and jñāti (kinsman) stand side by side.

सक्रूरेऽन्त्येशे मिथ्याकोशान्तकृत् ।

sakrūre'ntyeśe mithyākośāntakṛt |

The lord of the 12th (antyeśa) joined with a malefic: he makes an end of his treasury (kośa) through falsehood.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: antya = the last house, the 12th, as in sūtras 75, 77 and 89 of this section.

लग्नेशेऽल्पबले सूर्ययुतेऽर्थेशेऽन्त्ये नीचे वा पापदृष्टे राजदण्डाद्धनक्षयः।

lagneśe'lpabale sūryayute'rtheśe'ntye nīce vā pāpadṛṣṭe rājadaṇḍāddhanakṣayaḥ|

The lord of the lagna weak in strength ⟨and⟩ joined with the Sun, ⟨and⟩ the lord of the 2nd (artheśa) in the 12th (antya) or debilitated, aspected by a malefic: destruction of wealth through royal punishment.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: rājadaṇḍa is the king's punishment — fine, confiscation, penalty; rendered at its weight, not softened to 'trouble from authority'.

लाभेशेऽन्त्येऽन्त्येशेऽर्थे त्रिकेऽर्थेशे वा नीचगे राजदण्डाद्धनक्षयः।

lābheśe'ntye'ntyeśe'rthe trike'rtheśe vā nīcage rājadaṇḍāddhanakṣayaḥ|

The lord of the 11th in the 12th (antya), the lord of the 12th in the 2nd (artha), or the lord of the 2nd gone to a trika (the 6th, 8th or 12th) and debilitated: destruction of wealth through royal punishment.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: trika = the three duḥsthānas, houses 6, 8 and 12; the gloss is supplied.

षष्ठेऽर्थेशे सपापे नीचगे राजकारकयुते वा राजदण्डाद्धनक्षयः ।

ṣaṣṭhe'rtheśe sapāpe nīcage rājakārakayute vā rājadaṇḍāddhanakṣayaḥ |

The lord of the 2nd in the 6th, with a malefic, debilitated, or joined with the rāja-kāraka (the significator of the king): destruction of wealth through royal punishment.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: rāja-kāraka is left untranslated as the technical term; this text does not name the graha here, and identifying it (usually the Sun) would be reading a commentary into the sūtra.

धनेशेऽन्त्ये व्ययेशेऽर्थे सपापेऽङ्गेशेऽरिगे राजदण्डाद्धनक्षयः ।

dhaneśe'ntye vyayeśe'rthe sapāpe'ṅgeśe'rige rājadaṇḍāddhanakṣayaḥ |

The lord of the 2nd in the 12th (antya), the lord of the 12th in the 2nd (artha) with a malefic, ⟨and⟩ the lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) gone to the 6th (ari): destruction of wealth through royal punishment.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra names the 12th twice by two different words — antya and vyaya — describing a mutual exchange between the 2nd and 12th lords. aṅga ('the body') = the lagna; ari = the 6th house, not an enemy as a person.

लाभे खेशेऽङ्गेशयुते दुःषष्ट्यंशयुते राजदण्डाद्धनक्षयः ।

lābhe kheśe'ṅgeśayute duḥṣaṣṭyaṃśayute rājadaṇḍāddhanakṣayaḥ |

The lord of the 10th (kheśa) in the 11th, joined with the lord of the lagna ⟨and⟩ occupying an evil ṣaṣṭyaṃśa: destruction of wealth through royal punishment.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kha ('the sky', the meridian) = the 10th house. duḥṣaṣṭyaṃśa = one of the inauspicious sixtieth-parts, the sixty named ṣaṣṭyāṃśas this edition lists at A.22.

धनायपौ कुजदृष्टौ पापांशगौ हीनबलौ सपापौ चौराग्निभूपकृतो धननाशः।

dhanāyapau kujadṛṣṭau pāpāṃśagau hīnabalau sapāpau caurāgnibhūpakṛto dhananāśaḥ|

The lords of the 2nd and the 11th aspected by Mars (kuja), gone to malefic aṃśas, deficient in strength, and with malefics: destruction of wealth wrought by thieves, fire and the king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Five conditions on the pair, and three agents of ruin (caura, agni, bhūpa) — all preserved in count.

सपापे खेशेरिगे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे धनायपयुते लोकापवादमूलक धनक्षयः।

sapāpe kheśerige krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe dhanāyapayute lokāpavādamūlaka dhanakṣayaḥ|

The lord of the 10th (kheśa), with a malefic, gone to the 6th (ari), in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, joined with the lords of the 2nd and the 11th: destruction of wealth rooted in public calumny.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints लोकापवादमूलक without its final visarga and separated from धनक्षयः by a space; the compound is lokāpavāda-mūlaka-dhanakṣayaḥ and is read as one word. Kept as printed in the source; only the reading is noted.

धनेशांशेशे सपापे त्रिके लग्नेशदृष्टे चौराग्निभूपकृतो धननाशः।

dhaneśāṃśeśe sapāpe trike lagneśadṛṣṭe caurāgnibhūpakṛto dhananāśaḥ|

The lord of the aṃśa (navāṃśa) occupied by the lord of the 2nd, with a malefic, in a trika (the 6th, 8th or 12th), aspected by the lord of the lagna: destruction of wealth wrought by thieves, fire and the king.

4.82a reading here is contested

धनेशांशेशे त्रिके सपापे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे निर्धनः ।

dhaneśāṃśeśe trike sapāpe krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe nirdhanaḥ |

The lord of the aṃśa (navāṃśa) occupied by the lord of the 2nd in a trika (the 6th, 8th or 12th), with a malefic, in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa: ⟨the native is⟩ destitute.

2 notes on this verse
  • What the page would not yield: NUMBER REPEATED IN THIS SECTION, and not corrected. The printing sets the numeral 82 on two sūtras of section D; this is the one at position 82 of 135. The section correspondingly has no sūtra numbered 85. In every such site here the stray numeral differs from the position's own ordinal by a single digit of a shape a scanner confuses, so this is most likely an OCR slip rather than the compositor's error — but nothing here has read the plate, and the printed number is kept either way, because it is the citation form this edition's own English index uses. Settle it against the 1941 plates before relying on either number.
  • About this edition: THIS IS THE SŪTRA AT POSITION 82 OF SECTION D, the first of the two the printing numbers 82; the second stands at position 85 and is carried in this same reply under the same numeral, as the input file asks. The number is left exactly as printed because the numeral is this edition's citation key. Separately, the mūla prints धनेशांशशे for धनेशांशेशे (aṃśaśe for aṃśeśe) — an OCR akṣara drop; the parallel sūtras 67, 81, 84 and 86 all read aṃśeśa and fix the reading. nirdhanaḥ is 'without wealth, destitute' and is rendered at that weight. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads धनेशांशेशे; this sentence names धनेशांशशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सपापा धनधनेशायेशा निर्धनः ।

sapāpā dhanadhaneśāyeśā nirdhanaḥ |

The 2nd house, the lord of the 2nd and the lord of the 11th ⟨all⟩ with malefics: ⟨the native is⟩ destitute.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sapāpāḥ and dhana-dhaneśa-āyeśāḥ are both plural: the condition is on all three together.

व्ययेशांशेशे धनेशयुतदृष्टे निर्धनः ।

vyayeśāṃśeśe dhaneśayutadṛṣṭe nirdhanaḥ |

The lord of the aṃśa (navāṃśa) occupied by the lord of the 12th, joined with or aspected by the lord of the 2nd: ⟨the native is⟩ destitute.

4.85a reading here is contested

नीचेऽर्के केन्द्रे सपापे निर्धनः ।

The Sun debilitated, in a kendra, with a malefic: ⟨the native is⟩ destitute.

  • About this edition: NUMBER EXAMINED ON THE PLATE 2026-09-08, and the file's own account of it corrected. This sūtra stands at position 85 of section D — its neighbours are printed ८४ and ८६ — and it carries the numeral 82, which section D already uses at position 82. The earlier note called that 'most likely an OCR slip rather than the compositor's error'. It is the compositor's: the 1941 plate at page index 117 (printed 110), read at 14×, prints a two-digit numeral opening ८ whose second digit is a broken, ink-filled form with no flat headstroke — consistent with २ and not with ५. So the e-text is faithful to the printing and the duplicate is in the ink. The printed number is kept, per this file's declared policy, and the discrepancy is now filed as a discrepancies[] row so the next pass does not re-derive it.
  • About this edition: THIS IS THE SŪTRA AT POSITION 85 OF SECTION D, the second of the two the printing numbers 82; the first stands at position 82 and is carried in this same reply under the same numeral, as the input file asks.

कोशेशांशेशे कालदण्डांशे निर्धनः।

kośeśāṃśeśe kāladaṇḍāṃśe nirdhanaḥ|

The lord of the aṃśa (navāṃśa) occupied by the lord of the treasury (kośeśa, the lord of the 2nd) in the Kāladaṇḍa aṃśa: ⟨the native is⟩ destitute.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kośa ('treasury') = the 2nd house, a synonym this section uses only here; dhana, artha and kośa all name it. Kāladaṇḍa is the name of a division and is kept in Sanskrit rather than translated as 'the staff of Time'.

लाभे लाभपे वा पापसम्बन्धे निर्धनः।

lābhe lābhape vā pāpasambandhe nirdhanaḥ|

The 11th, or the lord of the 11th, in relation with a malefic: ⟨the native is⟩ destitute.

व्यये व्ययेशे वा पापसम्बन्धे पापमूलकधनक्षयः ।

vyaye vyayeśe vā pāpasambandhe pāpamūlakadhanakṣayaḥ |

The 12th, or the lord of the 12th, in relation with a malefic: destruction of wealth rooted in sin.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints घनक्षयः (ghana-) for धनक्षयः (dhana-), a straight OCR confusion of घ and ध; every other sūtra in this run reads dhana. Note also that pāpa carries BOTH its senses across sūtras 88 and 89: 'malefic' in pāpasambandhe, and 'sin' in pāpamūlaka — the contrast with dharmamūlaka in 89 settles the second. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पापमूलकधनक्षयः; this sentence names घनक्षयः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

अन्त्येऽन्त्येशे वा शुभसम्बन्धे धर्ममूलकधनक्षयः ।

antye'ntyeśe vā śubhasambandhe dharmamūlakadhanakṣayaḥ |

The 12th (antya), or the lord of the 12th, in relation with a benefic: destruction of wealth rooted in dharma.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: This sūtra and 88 are a pair: the same house, a malefic against a benefic, sin against dharma as the cause of the outflow.

शुक्रेज्यौ वा चन्द्रज्ञौ व्यये धर्ममूलकधननाशः ।

śukrejyau vā candrajñau vyaye dharmamūlakadhananāśaḥ |

Venus and Jupiter (ijya), or the Moon and Mercury (jña), in the 12th: destruction of wealth on account of dharma.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two dual compounds, two pairs of grahas — four grahas in all; the count is the mūla's own.

व्ययेशे बलहीने गुलिकादियुते वा षष्ठेशसम्बन्धे शत्रुतो धननाशः।

vyayeśe balahīne gulikādiyute vā ṣaṣṭheśasambandhe śatruto dhananāśaḥ|

When the lord of the 12th is devoid of strength, or is joined with Gulika and the rest, and stands in relation with the lord of the 6th — destruction of wealth through enemies.

  • About this edition: Gulika (an upagraha, Saturn's shadowy offspring) is kept untranslated; गुलिकादि 'Gulika and the rest' takes in the other upagrahas. This sūtra opens a run (91–96) whose single frame — a weak 12th lord in relation with the lord of some bhāva — is what fixes the elliptical syntax of each member.

क्रूरांशेऽन्त्येशेऽल्पबले जायेशसम्बन्धे जायाकृतो धननाशः।

krūrāṃśe'ntyeśe'lpabale jāyeśasambandhe jāyākṛto dhananāśaḥ|

When the lord of the 12th is in a malefic aṃśa and of little strength, and stands in relation with the lord of the 7th — destruction of wealth caused by the wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed अन्त्यशे lacks the e-mātrā of अन्त्येशे (antya = the 12th, the last bhāva); read as अन्त्येशे on the pattern of 93 and 96, which repeat the same word correctly. जाया is the wife specifically, not 'women' generally, and जायाकृत puts the loss at her doing.

अन्त्येशेऽल्पबले भौमसम्बन्धे भ्रातृकृतो धननाशः।

antyeśe'lpabale bhaumasambandhe bhrātṛkṛto dhananāśaḥ|

When the lord of the 12th is of little strength and stands in relation with Mars — destruction of wealth caused by brothers.

व्ययपेऽल्पवले पुत्रेशसम्बन्धे पुत्रकृतो धननाशः ।

vyayape'lpavale putreśasambandhe putrakṛto dhananāśaḥ |

When the lord of the 12th is of little strength and stands in relation with the lord of the 5th — destruction of wealth caused by sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अल्पवले is the printing's b/v slip for अल्पबले, the form the same clause carries at 92 and 93. व्ययप and अन्त्येश and व्ययेश are three names for one graha across this run.

व्ययेशे खेशसम्बन्धे पितृकृतो धननाशः ।

vyayeśe kheśasambandhe pitṛkṛto dhananāśaḥ |

When the lord of the 12th stands in relation with the lord of the 10th (kha) — destruction of wealth caused by the father.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ख (kha, 'sky') is the 10th bhāva, so खेश is the 10th lord — the bhāva of the father in this reckoning. The house number is rendered rather than the epithet, per GLOSSARY rule 3.

सुखेशसम्बन्धेऽन्त्येशे मातृकृतो धननाशः ।

sukheśasambandhe'ntyeśe mātṛkṛto dhananāśaḥ |

When the lord of the 12th stands in relation with the lord of the 4th (sukha) — destruction of wealth caused by the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सुख is the 4th bhāva, the bhāva of the mother; the pairing with 95 (10th/father) is the reason both are read as house-names and not as 'happiness' and 'sky'.

धनेशेऽरिगे शत्रुकृतो धननाशः।

dhaneśe'rige śatrukṛto dhananāśaḥ|

When the lord of the 2nd is in the 6th (ari) — destruction of wealth caused by enemies.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अरि is here the 6th bhāva (placement), while शत्रु in the same sūtra is the enemy as a person — the two senses GLOSSARY flags, both present in one line. धनाशः is printed for धननाशः; the six preceding sūtras all read धननाशः. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads धननाशः; this sentence names धनाशः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

धनेज्ञे चन्द्रदृष्टे धनहानिः ।

dhanejñe candradṛṣṭe dhanahāniḥ |

When Mercury is in the 2nd and aspected by the Moon — loss of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: धनेज्ञे is धने ज्ञे in sandhi. हानि (loss/harm) is weaker than the नाश (destruction) of the surrounding sūtras and is rendered distinctly.

क्षीणे चन्द्रावर्थे ज्ञदृष्टे सञ्चितधननाशः ।

kṣīṇe candrāvarthe jñadṛṣṭe sañcitadhananāśaḥ |

When the waning Moon is in the 2nd, aspected by Mercury — destruction of accumulated wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed चन्द्रावर्थे is read as चन्द्रेऽर्थे (candre 'rthe): क्षीणे is a locative singular and can only agree with चन्द्रे, so a dual reading of the kind sūtra 100 has (राह्वर्कजौ … अर्थे) is not available here. सञ्चित marks wealth already amassed, not income.

राह्वर्कजावर्थे शुक्रेन्दुयुते राशीशयुते कुमार्गव्ययः ।

rāhvarkajāvarthe śukrenduyute rāśīśayute kumārgavyayaḥ |

When Rāhu and Saturn are in the 2nd, joined by Venus and the Moon and by the lord of that sign — expenditure by evil courses.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अर्कज ('the Sun's son') is Saturn. कुमार्गव्यय is spending down an evil road — dissipation on bad courses, not mere waste; the Hindi keeps कुमार्ग, which carries the moral charge the English has to state.

कोशे कुजेऽर्थनाशोऽग्निचौरादितः।

kośe kuje'rthanāśo'gnicaurāditaḥ|

When Mars is in the kośa (the 2nd, the treasury) — destruction of wealth by fire, thieves and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कोश ('treasury') is the 2nd bhāva. आदि leaves the list open: fire and thieves are the named heads of a class of violent loss.

त्रिकोणे जीवे भोजने धननाशः।

trikoṇe jīve bhojane dhananāśaḥ|

When Jupiter is in a trikoṇa in the bhojana ⟨avasthā⟩ — destruction of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: भोजन is taken as the bhojana state in the twelve śayanādi avasthās, because the next sūtra uses शयन, the first name of that same series, in the same slot. Read instead as an ordinary locative, the line says 'destruction of wealth ⟨spent⟩ on food'; the Hindi keeps भोजन, which holds both.

लाभार्थान्त्ये राहुः शयने निर्धनो भ्रमते महीम् ।

lābhārthāntye rāhuḥ śayane nirdhano bhramate mahīm |

Rāhu in the 11th, the 2nd or the 12th, in the śayana ⟨avasthā⟩ — penniless, he wanders over the earth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: लाभार्थान्त्ये names three bhāvas for one graha, so it is read as alternatives (11th, 2nd, 12th), each number kept as printed. शयन is the first of the twelve śayanādi avasthās (see 102); read as a plain noun it would be 'the bed'. भ्रमते महीम् is literal — he roams the earth.

कोणेशसम्बन्धी यो ऽर्थगो ग्रहस्त्रिकेशयुतो धननाशकः ।

koṇeśasambandhī yo 'rthago grahastrikeśayuto dhananāśakaḥ |

Whatever graha stands in the 2nd in relation with the lord of a trikoṇa and joined with the lord of a trika ⟨house⟩ is a destroyer of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कोणेश is the lord of a trikoṇa (5th, 9th); त्रिकेश is the lord of a trika — conventionally the 6th, 8th and 12th. The Hindi keeps both terms so the reader is not handed a house-list the sūtra does not print.

लग्नेशे रन्ध्रे रन्ध्रेशेऽङ्गे मारकेशयुते निर्धनः।

lagneśe randhre randhreśe'ṅge mārakeśayute nirdhanaḥ|

When the lord of the lagna is in the 8th (randhra) and the lord of the 8th in the 1st (aṅga), joined with the lord of a māraka ⟨house⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ penniless.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: रन्ध्र is the 8th bhāva and अङ्ग ('the body') is the lagna. मारकेश is the lord of a killing bhāva (2nd, 7th); the term is kept untranslated in both languages because the sūtra does not say which.

षष्ठेशेऽङ्गे लग्नेशे षष्ठे मारकेशयुते निर्धनः।

ṣaṣṭheśe'ṅge lagneśe ṣaṣṭhe mārakeśayute nirdhanaḥ|

When the lord of the 6th is in the 1st and the lord of the lagna in the 6th, joined with the lord of a māraka ⟨house⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ penniless.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mutual exchange of 1st and 6th lords, exactly mirroring the 1st/8th exchange of 105.

चन्द्रार्कावङ्गे मारकेशयुतदृष्टे निर्धनः ।

candrārkāvaṅge mārakeśayutadṛṣṭe nirdhanaḥ |

When the Moon and the Sun are in the 1st, joined with or aspected by the lord of a māraka ⟨house⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ penniless.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: युतदृष्ट is one compound covering both conjunction and aspect; it is rendered as an inclusive 'or' in both languages.

धनकारकात् धने वेदे शरे पापे दरिद्री ।

dhanakārakāt dhane vede śare pāpe daridrī |

Counted from the significator of wealth ⟨Jupiter⟩, malefics in the 2nd, the 4th (veda) and the 5th (śara) — ⟨the native is⟩ destitute.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वेद is the number-word 4 (the four Vedas) and शर the number-word 5 (the five arrows of Kāma); both are house numbers here, and are kept as numbers in both renderings. धनकारक is Jupiter — the identification is supplied and marked, since the sūtra names only the function.

स्वकारकात् त्रिषष्ठे शुभे दरिद्री ।

svakārakāt triṣaṣṭhe śubhe daridrī |

Counted from its own kāraka, a benefic in the 3rd and 6th — ⟨the native is⟩ destitute.

2 notes on this verse
  • About this edition: SOURCE MARKUP DEFECT, recovered: in the e-text this sūtra's opening does not match the shape the other 2,269 use — the Sanskrit is set as running text with no emphasis, unlike every other sūtra. The aphorism itself is complete and its number legible, so nothing was emended; this is recorded only so that a reader comparing our text against the file is not left to work out why that line looked different. A parse that required the tidy shape would have dropped this sūtra and left a hole indistinguishable from a number the edition never printed.
  • About this edition: स्वकारक is left open in the Hindi as it is in the Sanskrit: it may mean the kāraka of the matter under discussion (i.e. Jupiter again, continuing 108) or the kāraka of the bhāva concerned. The English must pick a phrasing and does so with 'its own'. The e-text sets this sūtra's Sanskrit as running text with no emphasis, unlike the other sūtras of the edition; the aphorism itself is complete and nothing was emended.

खे शुभा धने पापा दरिद्री ।

khe śubhā dhane pāpā daridrī |

Benefics in the 10th (kha) and malefics in the 2nd — ⟨the native is⟩ destitute.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Both शुभा and पापा are plural: more than one graha in each place.

धर्मेशेऽन्त्येऽन्त्येशेऽर्थे तृतीयगेषु पापेषु महादरिद्री ।

dharmeśe'ntye'ntyeśe'rthe tṛtīyageṣu pāpeṣu mahādaridrī |

When the lord of the 9th is in the 12th, the lord of the 12th in the 2nd, and malefics stand in the 3rd — ⟨the native is⟩ greatly destitute.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: धर्म is the 9th bhāva. महादरिद्री intensifies the दरिद्री of the preceding sūtras and is rendered at that weight.

केन्द्रगाश्चन्द्रेज्यमन्दा गुलिकारौ सुतान्त्याष्टमगौ महादरिद्री ।

kendragāścandrejyamandā gulikārau sutāntyāṣṭamagau mahādaridrī |

The Moon, Jupiter and Saturn in kendras, and Gulika and Mars occupying the 5th, the 12th and the 8th — ⟨the native is⟩ greatly destitute.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: इज्य is Jupiter, मन्द Saturn, आर Mars. गुलिकारौ is dual (Gulika and Mars) while सुतान्त्याष्टमगौ names three bhāvas — 5th, 12th, 8th — so the two bodies stand among those three places; all three numbers are kept as printed rather than reduced to two.

एकभस्थौ पुष्पवन्तावन्योन्यांशगौ सदा दरिद्री ।

ekabhasthau puṣpavantāvanyonyāṃśagau sadā daridrī |

The Sun and the Moon standing in one sign, each in the other's aṃśa — ⟨he is⟩ destitute always.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पुष्पवन्तौ is the dual epithet of the two luminaries, the Sun and the Moon. अन्योन्यांशग: each occupying the aṃśa (navāṃśa) owned by the other. सदा — the condition is stated as lifelong.

पुष्पवन्तौ घटे शेषा नीचर्क्षगा राजपुत्रोऽपि दरिद्री ।

puṣpavantau ghaṭe śeṣā nīcarkṣagā rājaputro'pi daridrī |

The Sun and the Moon in Aquarius (ghaṭa) and the remaining ⟨grahas⟩ in their signs of debilitation — though a king's son, he is destitute.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: घट is Aquarius. राजपुत्रोऽपि — the concessive is the point of the sūtra and is kept: even royal birth does not avert it.

ज्ञेन्द्वारयमा नीचगा मृगे शुक्रे राजपुत्रोऽपि दरिद्री ।

jñendvārayamā nīcagā mṛge śukre rājaputro'pi daridrī |

Mercury, the Moon, Mars and Saturn debilitated, and Venus in Capricorn (mṛga) — though a king's son, he is destitute.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: यम (Yama, death's lord) is Saturn; मृग is Capricorn. Four grahas are named, and the count is checked against the mūla: ज्ञ, इन्दु, आर, यम.

नीचेऽर्के कोणे रन्ध्रे भौमे राजपुत्रोऽपि दरिद्री ।

nīce'rke koṇe randhre bhaume rājaputro'pi daridrī |

The Sun debilitated in a trikoṇa ⟨and⟩ Mars in the 8th (randhra) — though a king's son, he is destitute.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: रन्धे is printed for रन्ध्रे (the conjunct's र is lost); the same word is spelt correctly at 105. The clause is read as two parallel pairs — debilitated Sun in a trikoṇa, Mars in the 8th — since a single graha cannot hold both places; read as one clause it would give 'the Sun debilitated, Mars in a trikoṇa or the 8th'. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads रन्ध्रे; this sentence names रन्धे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

अङ्गेशो गुरुज्ञकवियुतः केन्द्रगः सर्वसम्पदन्वितः ।

aṅgeśo gurujñakaviyutaḥ kendragaḥ sarvasampadanvitaḥ |

The lord of the lagna joined with Jupiter, Mercury and Venus and placed in a kendra — ⟨the native is⟩ endowed with every prosperity.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कवि ('the seer', Uśanas) is Venus. This sūtra turns the chapter from ruin to wealth; 117–120 are its positive counter-set.

स्वोच्चे स्वामित्रे वा शुभभे शुभैर्दृष्टेऽङ्गेशे सम्पत्तिमान् ।

svocce svāmitre vā śubhabhe śubhairdṛṣṭe'ṅgeśe sampattimān |

When the lord of the lagna is in his own exaltation or in a friend's ⟨sign⟩, in a benefic sign, and aspected by benefics — ⟨the native is⟩ wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two printed forms are strained. स्वामित्रे as it stands resolves to स्व + अमित्रे, 'in an enemy's ⟨sign⟩', which contradicts the verdict सम्पत्तिमान्; it is read as स्वमित्रे, 'a friend's', the standard third member of the स्वोच्च–मित्र series. शुभमे is not a regular form; the sense required is 'in a benefic sign' (expected शुभभे, or शुभांशे 'in a benefic aṃśa'). Neither word was emended in the text — only read. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुभभे; this sentence names शुभमे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

धनेशेज्यौ धने केन्द्रे सम्पत्तिमान् ।

dhaneśejyau dhane kendre sampattimān |

The lord of the 2nd and Jupiter in the 2nd ⟨or⟩ in a kendra — ⟨the native is⟩ wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: धनेशेज्यौ is the dual धनेश + इज्य. Two bare locatives follow with no connective; they are read as alternatives, and the ⟨or⟩ is marked as supplied.

देवलोकांशेऽर्के सबलेऽङ्गेशे सम्पत्तिमान् ।

devalokāṃśe'rke sabale'ṅgeśe sampattimān |

When the Sun is in the Devaloka aṃśa and the lord of the lagna is strong — ⟨the native is⟩ wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Devaloka is one of the sixty ṣaṣṭyāṃśas the edition enumerates at sūtra A.22, so देवलोकांश is a named sixtieth-part and not a bhāva; the name is kept untranslated in both languages.

लग्नेशे बलवति शुभवर्गगे केन्द्रपयुते सम्पत्तिमान् ।

lagneśe balavati śubhavargage kendrapayute sampattimān |

⟨When⟩ the lord of the lagna, possessed of strength, occupies a benefic varga and is joined by a lord of a kendra — ⟨the native is⟩ possessed of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुभवर्ग is a varga (divisional sign) belonging to a benefic; the edition's own facing English reads 'a benefic Varga'. केन्द्रप = the lord of a kendra. सम्पत्तिमान् is this viveka's standing verdict-word for wealth, running unchanged through 117–125.

लग्नेऽर्के शुभैर्दृष्टे खेऽङ्गेशे सम्पत्तिमान् ।

lagne'rke śubhairdṛṣṭe khe'ṅgeśe sampattimān |

The Sun in the lagna, aspected by benefics, and the lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) in the 10th (kha) — ⟨the native is⟩ possessed of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ख 'the sky' is the 10th house, and अङ्ग 'the body' is the lagna, so अङ्गेश = लग्नेश. Both are this text's standing usage (cf. 118 and 120, which put अङ्गेश in the same slot as 121's लग्नेश).

केन्द्रार्थकोणे लग्नेशेज्ययोगे सम्पत्तिमान् ।

kendrārthakoṇe lagneśejyayoge sampattimān |

⟨When⟩ the conjunction of the lord of the lagna with Jupiter (ijya) falls in a kendra, in the 2nd (artha) or in a trikoṇa (koṇa) — ⟨the native is⟩ possessed of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अर्थ is the 2nd house throughout this viveka — 127 puts अर्थेश and अर्थ exactly where 126 has धनेश and धन. कोण = त्रिकोण. इज्य 'the one to be worshipped' is Jupiter (cf. 119 धनेशेज्यौ).

लाभधीस्थेषु सौम्येषु सर्वं भद्रम् ।

lābhadhīstheṣu saumyeṣu sarvaṃ bhadram |

⟨When⟩ benefics stand in the 11th (lābha) and the 5th (dhī) — everything is auspicious.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: धी 'intelligence' is the 5th house. सौम्य here is the class-word (benefics), not Mercury — the plural सौम्येषु settles it. सर्वं भद्रम् is an unrestricted verdict: not wealth alone but every matter.

धर्मेशेऽङ्गे तुर्याङ्केशौ स्वभावावलोकिनौ सम्पत्तिमान् ।

dharmeśe'ṅge turyāṅkeśau svabhāvāvalokinau sampattimān |

The lord of the 9th (dharma) in the lagna (aṅga), and the lords of the 4th (turya) and the 9th (aṅka) each aspecting his own house — ⟨the native is⟩ possessed of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्क is a number-word for nine (the nine digits), and it is a hapax in this text — it occurs at this one sūtra and nowhere else in the whole e-text, which is why it reads at first like a scanner's क for the very common ग of अङ्ग. It is not that: the edition's own facing English reads 'the lords of the 4th and 9th houses aspect their respective houses', so the printing means अङ्क = 9. स्वभावावलोकिनौ = each looking at (aspecting) his own bhāva. The 9th lord is thus named twice over, once by position and once in the pair.

धने धनेशे वा शुभसम्बन्धे कुटुम्बी ।

dhane dhaneśe vā śubhasambandhe kuṭumbī |

⟨When⟩ the 2nd (dhana), or else the lord of the 2nd, stands in connection with a benefic — ⟨the native is⟩ kuṭumbī, a man with a family ⟨to maintain⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुभसम्बन्ध covers any of the connections — conjunction, aspect, exchange — and the sūtra does not say which. कुटुम्बी recurs unchanged at 127; the edition's English renders it 'a supporter of the family' here and 'a family man' there, though the Sanskrit has one word both times.

ससौम्येऽर्थेशेऽर्थे केन्द्रे वा कुटुम्बी ।

sasaumye'rtheśe'rthe kendre vā kuṭumbī |

The lord of the 2nd (artha), accompanied by a benefic, in the 2nd itself or in a kendra — ⟨the native is⟩ kuṭumbī, a man with a family.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ससौम्ये = 'joined with a benefic'. सौम्य can also name Mercury, and the singular here does not rule that out; the parallel with 126's शुभसम्बन्धे is what makes the class the sense, and the Hindi keeps सौम्य so the two-way reading survives.

धनेशे गोपुरांशे धनेशांशपे शुभे सिंहासनांशे पञ्चाशज्जनपालकः ।

dhaneśe gopurāṃśe dhaneśāṃśape śubhe siṃhāsanāṃśe pañcāśajjanapālakaḥ |

The lord of the 2nd in a gopurāṃśa, and the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 2nd being a benefic and in a siṃhāsanāṃśa — ⟨the native is⟩ the protector of fifty men.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: गोपुर, सिंहासन, पारावत, ऐरावत and देवलोक (at 120) are the graded varga-dignity names — the rank a graha holds by how many divisions it is dignified in — and are kept untranslated. धनेशांशप 'the lord of the 2nd-lord's navāṃśa' puts the condition two removes from the house. पञ्चाशत् = fifty.

धनेशे शुभैर्युते पारावतांशे विंशतिजनपालकः ।

dhaneśe śubhairyute pārāvatāṃśe viṃśatijanapālakaḥ |

The lord of the 2nd joined by benefics, in a pārāvatāṃśa — ⟨the native is⟩ the protector of twenty men.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: विंशति = twenty. The counts in 128–131 do not ascend — fifty, twenty, many, thirty — and are left in the order the sūtras give them.

सिंहासनांशे जीवे गोपुरांशे शुक्रे धनेशे ऐरावतांशेऽनेकजनपालकः।

siṃhāsanāṃśe jīve gopurāṃśe śukre dhaneśe airāvatāṃśe'nekajanapālakaḥ|

Jupiter (jīva) in a siṃhāsanāṃśa, Venus in a gopurāṃśa, and the lord of the 2nd in an airāvatāṃśa — ⟨the native is⟩ the protector of many men.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अनेक is 'many', an uncounted word, standing where 128, 129 and 131 give figures. The sūtra names three grahas in three dignities and does not rank them.

धनेशे सिंहासने वा पारावतांशे जीवयुतदृष्टे त्रिंशज्जनपालकः।

dhaneśe siṃhāsane vā pārāvatāṃśe jīvayutadṛṣṭe triṃśajjanapālakaḥ|

The lord of the 2nd in a siṃhāsana or in a pārāvatāṃśa, joined with or aspected by Jupiter (jīva) — ⟨the native⟩ protects thirty men.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: त्रिंशत् = thirty. THE SANSKRIT READS पारावतांशे, and the Devanāgarī is followed here: the edition's facing English prints 'Iravatamsa' at this place, i.e. airāvata, which does not answer to the word before it — a divergence in the edition's own English, not in our reading. सिंहासने is printed bare, without the -अंशे it carries at 128 and 130. The sūtra ends जनपालका, lacking the visarga of जनपालकः as printed at 128–130, and is kept as printed. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads त्रिंशज्जनपालकः for त्रिंशज्जनपालका, 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.]

सपापेऽष्टमेशे पापदृष्टे पापान्तरे पापर्क्षे वा रन्ध्रे वा तथाभूतपरिभवान्वितोऽन्यथा तद्धीनः ।

sapāpe'ṣṭameśe pāpadṛṣṭe pāpāntare pāparkṣe vā randhre vā tathābhūtaparibhavānvito'nyathā taddhīnaḥ |

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 8th is joined with a malefic, aspected by malefics, hemmed between malefics, or in a malefic's sign, or in the 8th (randhra) itself — ⟨the native is⟩ beset by humiliation of that same kind; otherwise he is free of it.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पापान्तरे = standing between malefics, the pāpakartarī configuration (the same phrase is used at C.64). तथाभूत 'of that same sort' ties the humiliation to whichever of the five afflictions obtains. परिभव is humiliation and being overborne, and is not softened; अन्यथा तद्धीनः cancels it when none of the conditions holds.

वृषेऽर्के मीने चन्द्रे मेषे मन्दे कर्के भौमे सम्पद्धीनः ।

vṛṣe'rke mīne candre meṣe mande karke bhaume sampaddhīnaḥ |

The Sun in Vṛṣa, the Moon in Mīna, Saturn (manda) in Meṣa, Mars (bhauma) in Karka — ⟨the native is⟩ devoid of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Four placements, each rāśi paired with the graha printed beside it, in the order given. Two are debilitations (Saturn in Meṣa, Mars in Karka) and two are not (the Sun's debilitation is Tulā, the Moon's Vṛścika); the sūtra gives no reason for the pairing and none is supplied here.

भाग्येशे व्यये केन्द्रे पापे धनादिहीनः।

bhāgyeśe vyaye kendre pāpe dhanādihīnaḥ|

The lord of the 9th (bhāgya) in the 12th (vyaya), and a malefic in a kendra — ⟨the native is⟩ devoid of wealth and the rest.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: भाग्य 'fortune' is the 9th house. धनादिहीनः leaves the list open — wealth heads it and the sūtra does not finish it — so 'and the rest' is kept rather than filled in.

लग्नान्त्यास्ते सर्वे परिवारक्षयः ।

lagnāntyāste sarve parivārakṣayaḥ |

⟨When⟩ all ⟨the grahas⟩ stand in the lagna, the 12th (antya) and the 7th (asta) — the destruction of the household ⟨and its dependants⟩.

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 द्वितीयो धनविवेकः ॥”
  • About this edition: अन्त्य 'the last' is the 12th house and अस्त 'the setting place' the 7th; सर्वे has no noun with it and is taken as the grahas. परिवार is the household together with its dependants and retinue, and क्षय its perishing — rendered at that weight. The printing closes the section here with an unnumbered colophon, ॥ इति द्वितीयो धनविवेकः ॥ ('thus the second viveka, on wealth'), which is not a sūtra and is not translated as one.

Adhyāya 5 · E. अथ सहजविवेकः

लग्नलग्नेशान्यतरतस्त्र्यायगैर्ज्ञेन्द्वारेज्यैर्बहुभ्रातरः केतौ तु बहुभगिन्यः ।

lagnalagneśānyataratastryāyagairjñendvārejyairbahubhrātaraḥ ketau tu bahubhaginyaḥ |

Reckoned from either the lagna or the lord of the lagna, Mercury, the Moon, Mars and Jupiter standing in the 3rd and the 11th (tryāya) give many brothers; but Ketu ⟨so placed⟩ gives many sisters.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: त्र्यागैः is not a regular form. The sense the chapter requires is 'standing in the 3rd', and the printed akṣaras may stand for त्र्यायगैः, 'in the 3rd and the 11th' — the two sibling houses. Rendered as the 3rd alone; the 11th is not asserted on one OCR exemplar. ज्ञ-इन्दु-आर-इज्य are Mercury, the Moon, Mars and Jupiter. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads त्र्यायगैर् for त्र्यागैः, corrected on the lexicon on 2026-09-20 (the book's own stem त्र्यायग, as at 14.204); the English and Hindi now name the 3rd and the 11th, so 'rendered as the 3rd alone' is superseded.]

सोत्थेशे स्वर्क्षे सौम्यदृष्टे भ्रातृमान् ।

sottheśe svarkṣe saumyadṛṣṭe bhrātṛmān |

When the lord of the 3rd (sahaja) is in its own sign and aspected by a benefic, ⟨the native⟩ has brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सोत्थ is this text's contraction for सहजोत्थ, the 3rd house: sūtras 29 and 30 build the identical phrase on सहजेश and on सोत्थेश, which fixes the equivalence. सौम्य is taken here as the benefic class, not as Mercury.

सोत्थपे सशुभे केन्द्रे भ्रातृसुखम् ।

sotthape saśubhe kendre bhrātṛsukham |

When the lord of the 3rd, together with a benefic, is in a kendra, there is happiness from brothers.

सोत्थे शुभैर्युते वा दृष्टे सोत्थपे बलिनि भ्रातृलाभः ।

sotthe śubhairyute vā dṛṣṭe sotthape balini bhrātṛlābhaḥ |

When the 3rd is joined with benefics or aspected ⟨by them⟩, and the lord of the 3rd is strong, there is gain of brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints भ्रातृलामभः; the word is भ्रातृलाभः, as in the sūtras on either side. OCR akṣara error, left unrepaired in the source. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भ्रातृलाभः; this sentence names भ्रातृलामभः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

भ्रातृपे कारके वा बलिनि शुभसम्बन्धे भ्रातृलाभः ।

bhrātṛpe kārake vā balini śubhasambandhe bhrātṛlābhaḥ |

When the lord of the 3rd, or else the kāraka ⟨of brothers⟩, is strong and in relation with a benefic, there is gain of brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra says only कारक. In the standard reckoning the kāraka of brothers is Mars; the identification is stated in this note and not inserted into the line.

गोपुरे सोत्थेशे कारके सिंहासने शुभर्क्षे भ्रातृलाभः ।

gopure sottheśe kārake siṃhāsane śubharkṣe bhrātṛlābhaḥ |

The lord of the 3rd in gopura, the kāraka in siṃhāsana, ⟨and⟩ in a benefic's sign — gain of brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: गोपुर and सिंहासन — and पारावत in the next sūtra — are varga-dignity names, of the series that names how many vargas a graha holds dignity in. The schemes differ over the count attached to each name, so no number is asserted here. The two dignities are read distributively, one to the lord of the 3rd and one to the kāraka.

पारावते भ्रातृपे केन्द्रे शुभयुतदृष्टे भ्रातृलाभः ।

pārāvate bhrātṛpe kendre śubhayutadṛṣṭe bhrātṛlābhaḥ |

When the lord of the 3rd is in pārāvata, in a kendra, joined with or aspected by benefics, there is gain of brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints भ्रातलाभः for भ्रातृलाभः — OCR, left as printed. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads भ्रातृलाभः for भ्रातलाभः, 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.]

सोत्थपे सौम्यभांशे भ्रातृलाभः ।

sotthape saumyabhāṃśe bhrātṛlābhaḥ |

When the lord of the 3rd is in a benefic's sign and navāṃśa, there is gain of brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: भांश = भ (rāśi) + अंश (navāṃśa); the same compound governs sūtras 13, 16 and 17.

सोत्थे सोत्थपे बलाढ्ये भ्रातृलाभः।

sotthe sotthape balāḍhye bhrātṛlābhaḥ|

When the lord of the 3rd is in the 3rd itself and full of strength, there is gain of brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints सोत्थये, which does not parse. Read as सोत्थपे, the lord of the 3rd, which yields three concordant locatives — the lord of the 3rd, in the 3rd, strong. The reading is ours; a single OCR exemplar cannot settle it. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सोत्थपे; this sentence names सोत्थये, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मृद्वंशादियुते सोत्थपे शुभयुतदृष्टे भ्रातृलाभः।

mṛdvaṃśādiyute sotthape śubhayutadṛṣṭe bhrātṛlābhaḥ|

When the lord of the 3rd is endowed with the mṛdvaṃśa and the rest, and is joined with or aspected by benefics, there is gain of brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मृद्वंश stands in the same series of varga-dignity names as gopura, siṃhāsana and pārāvata above, but it is not on the standard lists and this one OCR exemplar cannot fix it; left transliterated rather than guessed. The e-text also prints भातृलाभः for भ्रातृलाभः. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भ्रातृलाभः; this sentence names भातृलाभः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

वैशेषिकांशे सोत्थपे शुभयुतदृष्टे भ्रातृलाभः ।

vaiśeṣikāṃśe sotthape śubhayutadṛṣṭe bhrātṛlābhaḥ |

When the lord of the 3rd is in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, joined with or aspected by benefics, there is gain of brothers.

सोत्थाङ्गेशौ मित्रे भ्रातृस्नेहः शत्रूचेद्वैरम् ।

sotthāṅgeśau mitre bhrātṛsnehaḥ śatrūcedvairam |

If the lords of the 3rd and of the lagna (aṅga) are friends, there is affection among brothers; if they are enemies, hostility.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्ग, 'the body', is the lagna. मित्रे / शत्रू is the two lords' mutual relation.

पुम्भांशे सोत्थकारकेशौ पुङ्ग्रहदृष्टौ भ्रातृलाभो वैपरीत्ये भगिनीलाभो मिश्रे उभयलाभः ।

pumbhāṃśe sotthakārakeśau puṅgrahadṛṣṭau bhrātṛlābho vaiparītye bhaginīlābho miśre ubhayalābhaḥ |

When the kāraka and the lord of the 3rd are in a male sign and navāṃśa and are aspected by male grahas, there is gain of brothers; in the contrary case, gain of sisters; when mixed, gain of both.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints भगिनीलामो for भगिनीलाभो — OCR. 'The contrary case' is female signs, navāṃśas and aspects; the sūtra leaves it to be supplied, and the Hindi supplies it in brackets where the English does not. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भगिनीलाभो; this sentence names भगिनीलामो, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सोत्थराश्यंशवशाद् भ्रात्रादिसङ्ख्या।

sottharāśyaṃśavaśād bhrātrādisaṅkhyā|

The number of brothers and the rest ⟨is known⟩ according to the sign and the aṃśa of the 3rd.

सोत्थगग्रहस्यांशका भ्रात्रादिसङ्ख्या ।

sotthagagrahasyāṃśakā bhrātrādisaṅkhyā |

The aṃśakas of the graha standing in the 3rd ⟨give⟩ the number of brothers and the rest.

सोत्थेशकारकयुतभांशवशाद्वा तत्सङ्ख्या ।

sottheśakārakayutabhāṃśavaśādvā tatsaṅkhyā |

Or that number ⟨is known⟩ according to the sign and navāṃśa joined by the lord of the 3rd and the kāraka.

सोत्थेशयुतभांशवशात्तत्सङ्ख्या ।

sottheśayutabhāṃśavaśāttatsaṅkhyā |

That number ⟨is known⟩ according to the sign and navāṃśa joined with the lord of the 3rd.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints भाश for भांश, the anusvāra lost — OCR, left as printed. The sūtra repeats 16 with the kāraka dropped. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सोत्थेशयुतभांशवशात्तत्सङ्ख्या; this sentence names भाश, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

स्त्रीखेटैर्धर्मगैर्भगिन्यो नृखेटैर्भ्रातरः ।

strīkheṭairdharmagairbhaginyo nṛkheṭairbhrātaraḥ |

By female grahas standing in the 9th (dharma), sisters; by male grahas, brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: धर्मगैः — the 9th — is what the file prints, in a chapter otherwise built on the 3rd; rendered as printed and not emended to a sibling house. खेट = graha. The sandhi is also printed loosely (स्त्रीखेटैधर्मगैर् for स्त्रीखेटैर्धर्मगैर्). [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads स्त्रीखेटैर्धर्मगैर्भगिन्यो; this sentence names स्त्रीखेटैधर्मगैर्, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

ज्ञेज्यौ धने कन्यायां राहौ भ्रातृत्रयम् ।

jñejyau dhane kanyāyāṃ rāhau bhrātṛtrayam |

Mercury and Jupiter in the 2nd (dhana) in Virgo, with Rāhu ⟨there⟩ — three brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The count is three (भ्रातृत्रयम्), stated in the sūtra.

विक्रमेशारौ त्रिकस्थौ भ्रातृहीनः ।

vikrameśārau trikasthau bhrātṛhīnaḥ |

When the lord of the 3rd (vikrama) and Mars stand in the trika ⟨the 6th, 8th and 12th⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ without brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: विक्रम is the 3rd house, as सहज and सोत्थ elsewhere in this chapter. त्रिक = the 6th, 8th and 12th; the numbers are supplied, the term is the text's.

षष्ठे सोत्थपारौ पापभगौ पापयुतौ वा भ्रातर उत्पद्य नश्यन्ति ।

ṣaṣṭhe sotthapārau pāpabhagau pāpayutau vā bhrātara utpadya naśyanti |

When the lord of the 3rd and Mars are in the 6th, standing in malefics' signs or joined with malefics, the brothers are born and perish.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पापभगौ read as पाप-भ-गौ, 'standing in malefics' signs'; it can also be taken as पाप-भाग, 'in malefic portions'. उत्पद्य नश्यन्ति is kept at its weight — the brothers are born and then die, not merely 'suffer'.

भ्रातृकारके नीचर्क्षांशे पापदृष्टे दुःषष्ट्यंशे भ्रातृहानिः ।

bhrātṛkārake nīcarkṣāṃśe pāpadṛṣṭe duḥṣaṣṭyaṃśe bhrātṛhāniḥ |

When the kāraka of brothers is in a sign and navāṃśa of debilitation, aspected by malefics, and in an evil ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, there is loss of brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints दुःषष्टयंशे for दुःषष्ट्यंशे — OCR. The ṣaṣṭyaṃśa is the sixtieth division; दुः- marks the evil ones among the sixty. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads दुःषष्ट्यंशे; this sentence names दुःषष्टयंशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सोत्थे पापयुतदृष्टे भ्रातृहानिः ।

sotthe pāpayutadṛṣṭe bhrātṛhāniḥ |

When the 3rd is joined with or aspected by malefics, there is loss of brothers.

भ्रात्रीशे पापान्तरे भ्रातृहानिः ।

bhrātrīśe pāpāntare bhrātṛhāniḥ |

When the lord of the brothers' house is between malefics, there is loss of brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पापान्तर is the hemming of a graha or a house between malefics on either side; the same term governs 25 and 27.

पापान्तरे सोत्थे नीचखेटान्विते वा शुभादृष्टे भ्रातृहानिः।

pāpāntare sotthe nīcakheṭānvite vā śubhādṛṣṭe bhrātṛhāniḥ|

When the 3rd is between malefics, or is joined by a debilitated graha, and is unaspected by benefics, there is loss of brothers.

सोत्थपांशेशे षष्ठे नीचास्तारिगे भ्रातृहानिः ।

sotthapāṃśeśe ṣaṣṭhe nīcāstārige bhrātṛhāniḥ |

When the lord of the navāṃśa ⟨occupied by⟩ the lord of the 3rd is in the 6th, and is debilitated, combust, or in an enemy's ⟨sign⟩, there is loss of brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints पष्ठे for षष्ठे — OCR. Two levels of navāṃśa-lordship stand here (the 3rd lord, then his aṃśa-lord) against three in 29 and 30; the difference is the printing's and is kept. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठे; this sentence names पष्ठे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

भ्रातृकारके पापान्तरे भ्रातृहानिः ।

bhrātṛkārake pāpāntare bhrātṛhāniḥ |

When the kāraka of brothers is between malefics, there is loss of brothers.

भ्रातृपे सोत्थे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे पापदृष्टे भ्रातृहानिः।

bhrātṛpe sotthe krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe pāpadṛṣṭe bhrātṛhāniḥ|

When the lord of the 3rd is in the 3rd, in a malefic (krūra) ṣaṣṭyaṃśa and aspected by malefics, there is loss of brothers.

सहजेशांशेश्वरांशेशे षष्ठे भ्रातृहानिः ।

sahajeśāṃśeśvarāṃśeśe ṣaṣṭhe bhrātṛhāniḥ |

When the lord of the navāṃśa ⟨occupied by⟩ the lord of the navāṃśa of the lord of the 3rd (sahaja) is in the 6th, there is loss of brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Three levels of lordship: the lord of the 3rd → the lord of his navāṃśa → the lord of that one's navāṃśa. सहजेश here, सोत्थेश in 30, for the same thing.

सोत्थेशांशेश्वरांशेशे नीचास्तारिभे भ्रातृहानिः ।

sottheśāṃśeśvarāṃśeśe nīcāstāribhe bhrātṛhāniḥ |

When the lord of the navāṃśa ⟨occupied by⟩ the lord of the navāṃśa of the lord of the 3rd is in a sign of debilitation, of combustion, or of an enemy, there is loss of brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The same triple nesting as 29. नीचास्तारिभे = a sign of debilitation, of combustion (asta), or of an enemy.

सोत्थपे वा कारके त्रिके पापेक्षितयुते स्वोच्चे वा भ्रातृहानिः।

sotthape vā kārake trike pāpekṣitayute svocce vā bhrātṛhāniḥ|

If the lord of the 3rd (sottha), or the kāraka ⟨of brothers⟩, is in a trika ⟨house — the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ and is aspected by or joined with malefics, or is in its own exaltation — loss of brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सोत्थ = सहोत्थ, this text's usual name for the 3rd house (it alternates with सहज, v. 36). त्रिक here is the set of duḥsthānas 6/8/12, as the edition's own English also takes it. The kāraka of brothers is Mars; v. 33 names it only as तत्कारक. Note that exaltation of the same graha is given as a cause of loss, not of gain — rendered as printed.

सोत्थगैः पापैर्बाल्ये भ्रातृहानिः ।

sotthagaiḥ pāpairbālye bhrātṛhāniḥ |

With malefics placed in the 3rd, loss of brothers in childhood.

सोत्थपे तत्कारके वा पापैर्युते भ्रातृहानिः ।

sotthape tatkārake vā pāpairyute bhrātṛhāniḥ |

When the lord of the 3rd, or its kāraka, is joined with malefics — loss of brothers.

सोत्थे मन्दे भौमदृष्टेऽनुजहीनः ।

sotthe mande bhaumadṛṣṭe'nujahīnaḥ |

Saturn in the 3rd, aspected by Mars — ⟨the native is⟩ without younger brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अनुज is specifically the younger brother, not a brother generally; the sūtras that mean any brother use भ्रातृ (vv. 31–33, 35–38).

सिंहेऽर्केऽङ्के भ्रातृहीनः ।

siṃhe'rke'ṅke bhrātṛhīnaḥ |

The Sun in Leo ⟨falling in⟩ the 9th (aṅka) — ⟨the native is⟩ without brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्क is the number-word for nine, and here names the 9th bhāva; the edition's own English reads 'Simha identical with the 9th' and its note turns on the Sun being then in mūlatrikoṇa and aspecting the 3rd from there. अङ्क occurs nowhere else in this text, whereas अङ्ग ('the body') for the lagna is frequent (cf. अङ्गेश, vv. 51, 60), so a scribal अङ्के for अङ्गे — 'the Sun in Leo in the lagna' — cannot be excluded; the 9th is rendered here because the edition's own gloss and its commentary both require it.

धनगाः पापाः सहजे राहौ भ्रातृहीनः ।

dhanagāḥ pāpāḥ sahaje rāhau bhrātṛhīnaḥ |

Malefics placed in the 2nd (dhana) and Rāhu in the 3rd (sahaja) — ⟨the native is⟩ without brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints भ्रातृहनिः for भ्रातृहानिः — a scanner-level short vowel, not a variant reading; the sense is the same हानि as in vv. 31–33. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भ्रातृहीनः; this sentence names भ्रातृहनिः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-23: The plate refutes what this note assumed. Read by eye at about 3.6x native, the 1941 exemplar (jt-sastri-english PDF p.132, printed p.124, line 8) sets भ्रातृहीनः: the long ī after ह and a bare न. These are the same sorts as भ्रातृहीनः at 5.35 on PDF p.131 (printed p.123), and unlike भ्रातृहानिः at 5.33 there, both read at about 2.0x native. The edition's own English under the sūtra reads 'make the native brotherless'. So our हनिः misread हीनः, not हानिः, and the sense is 'brotherless', not the हानि of vv. 31–33. The 1915 Śrīnivāsa printing sets भ्रातृहानिः here (its ३४, PDF p.145, folio १३४, line 17, read by eye at about 5.3x native); that reading is on the ledger.]

सहजेऽब्जवर्गे भौमदृष्टे भ्राता रोगी।

sahaje'bjavarge bhaumadṛṣṭe bhrātā rogī|

The 3rd ⟨falling⟩ in a varga of the Moon and aspected by Mars — the brother is diseased.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अब्ज ('water-born') is the Moon throughout this text; cf. लग्नेऽब्जे in v. 57.

भौमात्सोत्थे पापे भ्रातृसुखं न ।

bhaumātsotthe pāpe bhrātṛsukhaṃ na |

A malefic in the 3rd counted from Mars — no happiness from brothers.

लग्नान्त्यगौ पापौ अनुजोत्पत्तिः ।

lagnāntyagau pāpau anujotpattiḥ |

Two malefics placed in the lagna and the 12th (antya) — the birth of a younger brother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Both the word for the malefics and the word placing them stand in the dual: exactly two malefics, one in each of the two houses named.

अंशे रविशुक्रदृष्टे राजप्रेष्यः।

aṃśe raviśukradṛṣṭe rājapreṣyaḥ|

When the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa of the ātmakāraka⟩ is aspected by the Sun and Venus — a servant of the king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla says only अंशे. The edition glosses अंश in this run of sūtras (40, 41, 52) as the ātmakāraka's navāṃśa — the svāṃśa — and v. 41's 'the 10th from the aṃśa' confirms that houses are being reckoned from it, so it is a sign and not merely a division. The gloss is bracketed because the Sanskrit does not carry it.

अंशात् खे ज्ञदृष्टयुते राजप्रेष्यः।

aṃśāt khe jñadṛṣṭayute rājapreṣyaḥ|

When the 10th (kha) from the aṃśa is aspected by or joined with Mercury — a servant of the king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ख ('sky') is the 10th house.

सूर्यारमन्दैः शुभदृष्टिहीनैः कर्मगैर्भृतकः ।

sūryāramandaiḥ śubhadṛṣṭihīnaiḥ karmagairbhṛtakaḥ |

The Sun, Mars and Saturn placed in the 10th (karma), devoid of benefic aspect — a hired servant.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: भृतक is one who works for wages — a hireling, distinct from the दास of vv. 45–48 and 55.

मन्दांशे नीचभे शुक्रे व्यये चन्द्रार्कौ भृतकः ।

mandāṃśe nīcabhe śukre vyaye candrārkau bhṛtakaḥ |

Venus in a navāṃśa of Saturn and in the sign of its debilitation, ⟨and⟩ the Moon and the Sun in the 12th (vyaya) — a hired servant.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नीचभे is the sign of Venus's fall, Virgo; the two navāṃśas of Saturn within it are the ones the edition's note identifies.

दशमगैः पापैः सौम्यादृष्टैर्भृतकः।

daśamagaiḥ pāpaiḥ saumyādṛṣṭairbhṛtakaḥ|

Malefics placed in the 10th, unaspected by benefics — a hired servant.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सौम्य here is the class 'benefic', not Mercury: it stands opposed to पाप in the same clause.

षष्ठेशे माने खेशे मन्दयुते केन्द्रे दासान्वितः ।

ṣaṣṭheśe māne kheśe mandayute kendre dāsānvitaḥ |

The lord of the 6th in the 10th (māna), and the lord of the 10th (kheśa) joined with Saturn in a kendra — he is possessed of servants.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मान and ख are both the 10th house; the sūtra names it twice by two epithets in one line.

कर्मेशांशेशे मन्दे षष्ठपसम्बन्धे बहुदासान्वितः ।

karmeśāṃśeśe mande ṣaṣṭhapasambandhe bahudāsānvitaḥ |

When Saturn is lord of the navāṃśa ⟨occupied by⟩ the lord of the 10th (karmeśa), and stands in relation with the lord of the 6th — he is possessed of many servants.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अंशेश is the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the graha just named — contrast v. 52, where अंशे मन्दे puts Saturn IN the aṃśa rather than owning it.

नृपेऽर्के शुभकर्मपदृष्टे बहुदासान्वितः ।

nṛpe'rke śubhakarmapadṛṣṭe bahudāsānvitaḥ |

The Sun in the royal ⟨house⟩ (nṛpa), aspected by benefics and by the lord of the 10th (karma) — he is possessed of many servants.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नृप as a house-name occurs only here; everywhere else in this text नृप means a king as a person (नृपकोप, नृपतुल्य). The house number is therefore NOT determinable from the Sanskrit alone. The edition's English reads it as the 5th and takes शुभकर्मप as the lords of the 9th (शुभ) and the 10th; the other royal epithet in this chapter, राज्य (vv. 48, 60), is the 10th. Rendered here without fixing the number: a reader should treat the house as undetermined, and the second aspecting body as either benefics generally or the lord of the 9th.

राज्ये शुभदृष्ट्याधिक्ये दासान्वितः।

rājye śubhadṛṣṭyādhikye dāsānvitaḥ|

The 10th (rājya) with an abundance of benefic aspect — he is possessed of servants.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: राज्य is the 10th. The edition's English renders it 'the 4th house' here and at v. 60, but renders the identical opening — राज्ये with an abundance of benefic aspect — as 'the 10th house' in the later section on trade (T-series sūtra 1) — an inconsistency in the printing's English, not in its Sanskrit. The 10th is taken here, with the chapter's surrounding sūtras (42, 44, 45, 46) all on the 10th.

सहजे शुभदृष्ट्याधिक्ये वा पापयुते वा सहजपे बलाढ्ये विक्रमी।

sahaje śubhadṛṣṭyādhikye vā pāpayute vā sahajape balāḍhye vikramī|

The 3rd with an abundance of benefic aspect, or joined with malefics, ⟨and⟩ the lord of the 3rd rich in strength — valorous.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The two वा link the first two conditions; बलाढ्ये सहजपे stands as a separate absolute, so strength of the 3rd lord is required with either.

सहजपे केन्द्रे कोणे विक्रमी ।

sahajape kendre koṇe vikramī |

The lord of the 3rd in a kendra ⟨or⟩ a trikoṇa (koṇa) — valorous.

सोत्थाङ्गेशयोगे विक्रमी ।

sotthāṅgeśayoge vikramī |

In a yoga ⟨conjunction⟩ of the lord of the 3rd with the lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) — valorous.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्ग ('the body') is the lagna; अङ्गेश the lagna lord.

अंशे मन्दे प्रसिद्धकर्माजीवी ।

aṃśe mande prasiddhakarmājīvī |

Saturn in the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa of the ātmakāraka⟩ — he lives by a renowned occupation.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints प्रसिद्धकर्माजीची for °कर्माजीवी — a scanner च for व; the parallel forms निन्द्यकर्माजीवी (v. 58), पराजीवी (v. 59) and नीचवृत्याजीवी (v. 60) fix the word. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads प्रसिद्धकर्माजीवी; this sentence names प्रसिद्धकर्माजीची, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

षष्ठेशे सोत्थे काष्ठपाषाणादिविक्रेता ।

ṣaṣṭheśe sotthe kāṣṭhapāṣāṇādivikretā |

The lord of the 6th in the 3rd — a seller of wood, stone and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints पष्ठेशे for षष्ठेशे (scanner प for ष); cf. षष्ठेशे spelt correctly at v. 45. काष्ठ is wood or timber — the edition's English narrows it to 'fuel', which the Sanskrit does not. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठेशे; 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.]

मेषे चन्द्रे भौमदृष्टे भिक्षुकः ।

meṣe candre bhaumadṛṣṭe bhikṣukaḥ |

The Moon in Aries, aspected by Mars — a beggar.

चन्द्रे शुभदृग्घीने दासोऽथवा भिक्षुकः।

candre śubhadṛgghīne dāso'thavā bhikṣukaḥ|

The Moon devoid of benefic aspect — a servant, or else a beggar.

सर्वग्रहैर्नीचमूढांशगैः कर्मान्त्यगैर्भिक्षुकः ।

sarvagrahairnīcamūḍhāṃśagaiḥ karmāntyagairbhikṣukaḥ |

All the grahas placed in navāṃśas of debilitation or combustion, and placed in the 10th (karma) and the 12th (antya) — a beggar.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मूढ is combustion (astaṅgata), not dullness. The mūla prints कर्मान्त्यगैभिक्षुकः, dropping the र् of कर्मान्त्यगैर्भिक्षुकः; kept as printed. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads कर्मान्त्यगैर्भिक्षुकः for कर्मान्त्यगैभिक्षुकः, 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.]

अन्त्ये गुरौ केन्द्रे शनौ लग्नेऽब्जे भिक्षुकः ।

antye gurau kendre śanau lagne'bje bhikṣukaḥ |

Jupiter in the 12th (antya), Saturn in a kendra, the Moon in the lagna — a beggar.

चन्द्राद्धने पुत्रे जीवेष्टमे शुभे वा पापे निन्द्यकर्माजीवी ।

candrāddhane putre jīveṣṭame śubhe vā pāpe nindyakarmājīvī |

Jupiter in the 2nd (dhana) or the 5th (putra) from the Moon, ⟨and⟩ a benefic or a malefic in the 8th — he lives by a condemnable occupation.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुभे वा पापे is read here as the graha in the 8th, benefic or malefic alike. The edition's English instead reads शुभ as a house-name for the 9th — 'a malefic in the 8th or the 9th'; both are grammatical, and the choice cannot be settled from this line alone.

एकस्मिन् ग्रहे मित्रभगे पराजीवी ।

ekasmin grahe mitrabhage parājīvī |

A single graha being in a friend's sign — he lives off another.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मित्रभगे: भ ⟨= भ, a sign⟩ of a friend. पराजीवी is one whose living comes from another — a dependant, not a servant (दास) and not a hireling (भृतक).

राज्येऽङ्गेशे त्रिकोणार्थे मन्दे पापैर्मृत्युगैर्नीचवृत्त्याजीवी ।

rājye'ṅgeśe trikoṇārthe mande pāpairmṛtyugairnīcavṛttyājīvī |

The lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) in the 10th (rājya), Saturn in a trikoṇa or the 2nd (artha), and malefics placed in the 8th (mṛtyu) — he lives by a base occupation.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: त्रिकोणार्थे is taken as 'in a trikoṇa or in the 2nd (artha)', with the edition's English agreeing; it could also be read 'in the trine from the 2nd'. मृत्यु is the 8th house. On राज्य = the 10th see the note at v. 48.

लग्नाद्वा चन्द्रादर्काद्यैर्दशमगैः पितृजननीशत्रुमित्रभ्रातृस्त्रीभृत्येभ्योऽर्थाप्तिः।

lagnādvā candrādarkādyairdaśamagaiḥ pitṛjananīśatrumitrabhrātṛstrībhṛtyebhyo'rthāptiḥ|

From the lagna, or from the Moon, by the grahas beginning with the Sun standing in the tenth ⟨house⟩: gain of wealth from father, mother, enemy, friend, brother, wife and servant ⟨respectively⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The seven sources are seven, and the grahas 'beginning with the Sun' (arkādyaiḥ) are seven: the correspondence Sun–father, Moon–mother, Mars–enemy, Mercury–friend, Jupiter–brother, Venus–wife, Saturn–servant is what makes the list a list. The sūtra does not print krama/'respectively', so it is supplied in ⟨…⟩ in both renderings. शत्रु is here the enemy as a PERSON, not the 6th house (GLOSSARY row अरि/रिपु/शत्रु).

लग्नेन्द्वर्केभ्यः खेशस्यांशेशवशाद्वृत्तिं वदेत् ।

lagnendvarkebhyaḥ kheśasyāṃśeśavaśādvṛttiṃ vadet |

Reckoning from the lagna, from the Moon and from the Sun, one should declare the livelihood (vṛtti) according to the lord of the aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ of the lord of the tenth (kheśa).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: खेश = kha-īśa, 'lord of the sky', i.e. the lord of the tenth; rendered by house number per GLOSSARY rule 3. अंशेश is the lord of the navāṃśa — sūtra 70 below says नवांश outright, which is what fixes अंश here as the navāṃśa and not a division left open. This sūtra is the rubric; 63–69 are its seven answers, one per graha.

सूर्यांशे भैषज्यसुगन्धिसुवर्णोर्णामुक्तामणिपण्येन दौत्येन मन्त्रोपदेशरसवादविनोदमार्गैर्वा वृत्तिः ।

sūryāṃśe bhaiṣajyasugandhisuvarṇorṇāmuktāmaṇipaṇyena dautyena mantropadeśarasavādavinodamārgairvā vṛttiḥ |

In the Sun's aṃśa: livelihood by trade in medicines, perfumes, gold, wool, pearls and gems; by service as an envoy; or by the paths of imparting mantras, of alchemy, and of entertainment.

चन्द्रांशे शङ्खमुक्ताप्रवालादिवाणिज्येन कृषिमृद्वाग्विनोदमार्गैः राज्याङ्गनाश्रयेण वृत्तिः ।

candrāṃśe śaṅkhamuktāpravālādivāṇijyena kṛṣimṛdvāgvinodamārgaiḥ rājyāṅganāśrayeṇa vṛttiḥ |

In the Moon's aṃśa: livelihood by trade in conches, pearls, corals and the like; by the paths of agriculture, of earth-work, of speech and of entertainment; and by dependence upon the kingdom ⟨royal service⟩ and upon women.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मृद् is earth/clay — work in clay and soil, distinct from the कृषि named beside it; 'earth-work' keeps both potter's clay and earth-digging open, as the Sanskrit does.

भौमांशे मनःशिलाहरितालहिङ्गुलकाञ्जनादिभिः खङ्गचक्रकुन्तचापतोमराद्यैः साहसैरग्निक्रियया स्वबलक्रियारम्भैर्धनाप्तिः ।

bhaumāṃśe manaḥśilāharitālahiṅgulakāñjanādibhiḥ khaṅgacakrakuntacāpatomarādyaiḥ sāhasairagnikriyayā svabalakriyārambhairdhanāptiḥ |

In Mars's aṃśa: gain of wealth by realgar, orpiment, cinnabar, collyrium and the like; by swords, discuses, lances, bows, javelins and the like; by deeds of daring, by work with fire, and by undertakings of action resting on one's own strength.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints भोमांशे for भौमांशे — an OCR slip at the akṣara level of the kind this edition's profile declares (cf. sūtra A.22, the control). The reading is not in doubt: the seven-sūtra sequence runs Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and Mars's own goods (realgar, orpiment, cinnabar, weapons, fire) fill the sūtra. Not settled on the plates here; left as printed. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads भौमांशे for भोमांशे, 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.]

ज्ञांशेऽक्षरविन्यासेन गणितेन यन्त्रयोगेन काव्येन चित्रपुस्तकपत्रच्छेदबाणमाल्यरचनागन्धयुक्तिप्रभृतिभिर्वृत्तिः ।

jñāṃśe'kṣaravinyāsena gaṇitena yantrayogena kāvyena citrapustakapatracchedabāṇamālyaracanāgandhayuktiprabhṛtibhirvṛttiḥ |

In Mercury's aṃśa: livelihood by the arranging of letters ⟨writing⟩, by computation, by the contriving of machines, by poetry, and by the making of paintings, books, leaf-cut designs, arrows and garlands, by the compounding of perfumes, and so forth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: रचना is taken to govern the run चित्र–पुस्तक–पत्रच्छेद–बाण–माल्य; गन्धयुक्ति then stands on its own. यन्त्रयोग is 'the joining/contriving of yantras' — mechanical devices, though the word would also carry inscribed yantras, and the Hindi keeps यन्त्रयोग untranslated so the reader is not forced to choose.

जीवांशे देवब्राह्मणपण्डितेभ्यः सुवर्णलवणाञ्जनगजाद्याकरेभ्यः क्रियावादेन यज्ञदानतीर्थोपवासगुरुसेवनादिभ्यो वृत्तिः ।

jīvāṃśe devabrāhmaṇapaṇḍitebhyaḥ suvarṇalavaṇāñjanagajādyākarebhyaḥ kriyāvādena yajñadānatīrthopavāsagurusevanādibhyo vṛttiḥ |

In Jupiter's aṃśa: livelihood from gods, brahmins and learned men; from mines ⟨and sources⟩ of gold, salt, collyrium, elephants and the like; by the expounding of rites; and from sacrifice, gift, pilgrimage, fasting, service of the guru and so forth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: आकर is a mine, and by extension any source or yield-place — hence elephants standing in the same list as gold and salt; 'mines ⟨and sources⟩' keeps the word's reach without narrowing it. क्रियावाद is discourse on ritual action, i.e. living by teaching the rites.

शुक्रांशे वज्रमरकतपद्मरागेन्द्रनीलप्रभृतिभिः रौप्येण लोहैर्गोभिः श्रेष्ठमहिषीभिः सुवर्णगजाश्वव्यापारेण वृत्तिः ।

śukrāṃśe vajramarakatapadmarāgendranīlaprabhṛtibhiḥ raupyeṇa lohairgobhiḥ śreṣṭhamahiṣībhiḥ suvarṇagajāśvavyāpāreṇa vṛttiḥ |

In Venus's aṃśa: livelihood by diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires and the rest; by silver, by metals, by cows, by choice she-buffaloes, and by trade in gold, elephants and horses.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: महिषी is both 'she-buffalo' and 'chief queen'. Standing next to गो it reads as livestock, which is why the English chooses 'she-buffaloes'; the Hindi keeps महिषी and so keeps both senses live, which the English cannot.

शन्यंशे अध्वगमनादिकेन वध्यघातिकया स्वशरीरताडनाद्येन भारवाहेण स्वकुलानुचितकर्मभिर्वृत्तिः ।

śanyaṃśe adhvagamanādikena vadhyaghātikayā svaśarīratāḍanādyena bhāravāheṇa svakulānucitakarmabhirvṛttiḥ |

In Saturn's aṃśa: livelihood by journeying on the road and the like, by putting the condemned to death, by beating one's own body and such practices, by bearing loads, and by acts unbefitting one's own family.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वध्यघातिका is the killing of one who is to be killed — the executioner's trade — and is left at that weight. स्वशरीरताडन is literally the beating of one's own body: bodily self-mortification made a living of. स्वकुलानुचित says 'unbefitting one's own family', not 'low' — the reproach is to birth, not to the work as such.

लग्नाद्दशमेशश्चारवशाद्यस्मिन्नवांशे वर्तते तदीशोक्ता वृत्तिः प्रत्यहम् ।

lagnāddaśameśaścāravaśādyasminnavāṃśe vartate tadīśoktā vṛttiḥ pratyaham |

In whichever navāṃśa the lord of the tenth from the lagna stands by force of ⟨its⟩ transit, the livelihood declared for the lord of that ⟨navāṃśa⟩ ⟨is had⟩ day by day.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: चार is the transiting motion, so this sūtra turns the fixed rule of 62–69 into a daily one: the same seven answers, read off the 10th lord's navāṃśa as it moves. प्रत्यहम् — 'day by day' — is the whole point of the sūtra and must not be flattened to 'always'.

द्रव्यदा मित्रारिस्वभान्यतरत्र यत्र गतास्तादृशमित्रारिस्वोद्योगद्वारा धनाप्तिः ।

dravyadā mitrārisvabhānyataratra yatra gatāstādṛśamitrārisvodyogadvārā dhanāptiḥ |

The wealth-giving ⟨grahas⟩ — into whichever of a friend's, an enemy's, or their own sign they have gone — ⟨bring⟩ gain of wealth through the exertion of a friend, of an enemy, or of oneself accordingly.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: भ here is the rāśi (sign), the standard abbreviation; अन्यतरत्र is 'in one or other of' the three, and तादृश ('of that same kind') is what carries the correspondence — friend's sign → a friend's exertion, and so on.

धनदोऽर्कस्तुङ्गे बलिनि स्वविक्रमाद्धनम् ।

dhanado'rkastuṅge balini svavikramāddhanam |

⟨When⟩ the Sun is the giver of wealth, and ⟨stands⟩ exalted and strong, wealth ⟨comes⟩ from one's own prowess.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra is elliptical: धनदोऽर्कः is nominative while तुङ्गे बलिनि are locative, with no noun for them to qualify (a place/sign is understood), and there is no finite verb. Both renderings supply the copula in ⟨…⟩ and leave the ellipsis visible rather than smoothing it into a full sentence. Not an OCR defect — sūtra style.

लग्नार्थायगैः सौम्यैर्बलिभिर्बहुप्रकारैर्धनाप्तिः ।

lagnārthāyagaiḥ saumyairbalibhirbahuprakārairdhanāptiḥ |

By strong benefics standing in the lagna, in the second (artha) and in the eleventh (āya): gain of wealth in many ways.

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 तृतीयविवेकः”
  • About this edition: अर्थ is the 2nd house and आय the 11th, rendered by number per GLOSSARY. सौम्य is the benefic CLASS here, not Mercury — it is plural and qualified by बलिभिः. बहुप्रकारैः is instrumental plural and so agrees formally with सौम्यैः ('by benefics of many kinds'); it is read adverbially, 'in many ways', which is how the run of sūtras uses such words, but the other reading is available. The printing closes the section after this sūtra with an unnumbered colophon, इति तृतीयविवेकः — not a sūtra, and not translated as one.

Adhyāya 6 · F. अथ चतुर्थविवेकः

वृश्चिकांशे मातुर्दुग्धशोषः ।

vṛścikāṃśe māturdugdhaśoṣaḥ |

When ⟨the significator stands⟩ in the Vṛścika (Scorpio) aṃśa, the mother's milk dries up.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra names no graha at all — it says only 'in the Vṛścika aṃśa', so the subject is supplied. The printing's own commentary supplies the ātmakāraka and offers the rising navāṃśa as an alternative reading; F.32, worded the same way (वृषांशे), is glossed by the ātmakāraka too. aṃśa here is the navāṃśa. dugdha-śoṣa is literally the drying up of the milk, not a general failure to nurse.

खे कुजेऽष्टमे जीवे बलाढ्ये मातृसुखं न ।

khe kuje'ṣṭame jīve balāḍhye mātṛsukhaṃ na |

Mars in the 10th (kha) and Jupiter strong in the 8th: there is no happiness from the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mātṛ-sukham na runs through sūtras 2–13 as this viveka's refrain; the compound is two-way — 'happiness from the mother' and 'the mother's happiness' — and the Hindi मातृसुख keeps both open where the English has to choose. The printing sets बलाढये here without the ya-phalā conjunct (balāḍhaye for balāḍhye); the same word is set correctly बलाढ्ये at sūtras 20, 21 and 23. OCR/typesetting level, no effect on the sense. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads बलाढ्ये; this sentence names balāḍhaye and बलाढये, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

षष्ठाष्टमे चन्द्रेऽस्ते भौमे सपापे मातृसुखं न ।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame candre'ste bhaume sapāpe mātṛsukhaṃ na |

The Moon in the 6th or the 8th, and Mars joined with a malefic in the 7th (asta): there is no happiness from the mother.

शुक्रे वा चन्द्रे पापान्तरे पापयुतदृष्टे वा मातृसुखं न ।

śukre vā candre pāpāntare pāpayutadṛṣṭe vā mātṛsukhaṃ na |

Venus, or the Moon, hemmed between malefics (pāpāntara), or joined with or aspected by a malefic: there is no happiness from the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pāpāntara — standing between malefics on either side, the pāpa-kartari configuration. The pairing of Venus with the Moon is not arbitrary: the edition's commentary reads the two by the time of birth, Venus being the mātṛkāraka in a day birth and the Moon in a night birth (it cites Bṛhat Jātaka IV.5). That is the commentary's reading; the sūtra itself only says 'Venus or the Moon'.

सुखे सुखेशे वा पापान्तरे पापयुतदृष्टे वा मातृसुखं न ।

sukhe sukheśe vā pāpāntare pāpayutadṛṣṭe vā mātṛsukhaṃ na |

The 4th house (sukha), or its lord, hemmed between malefics, or joined with or aspected by a malefic: there is no happiness from the mother.

चन्द्रादस्ते सपापे शुक्रे मातृसुखं न ।

candrādaste sapāpe śukre mātṛsukhaṃ na |

Venus with a malefic in the 7th from the Moon: there is no happiness from the mother.

सुखे मन्दे पापदृष्टे शीघ्रं मातृनाशः ।

sukhe mande pāpadṛṣṭe śīghraṃ mātṛnāśaḥ |

Saturn in the 4th (sukha) aspected by a malefic: swift destruction of the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mātṛ-nāśa is destruction/ruin of the mother, and the sūtra means her death; the edition's English softens it to 'the exit of the mother', which the Sanskrit does not. Rendered at its weight per the glossary's nāśa row. śīghram (swiftly) here is set against cireṇa (after a long time) in the very next sūtra — the pair is a single rule split by the aspecting graha's class.

सुखे मन्दे शुभदृष्टे चिरेण मातृनाशः ।

sukhe mande śubhadṛṣṭe cireṇa mātṛnāśaḥ |

Saturn in the 4th aspected by a benefic: destruction of the mother after a long time.

मन्दे पापयुते पापर्क्षे मातृनाशः।

mande pāpayute pāparkṣe mātṛnāśaḥ|

Saturn joined with a malefic and in a malefic's ṛkṣa ⟨sign⟩: destruction of the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ṛkṣa is read as the sign here (the edition glosses 'the house of a malefic'); the word can also mean the nakṣatra, and the Hindi ऋक्ष keeps the ambiguity the English has to close.

पुत्रे चन्द्रे मातृसुखं न ।

putre candre mātṛsukhaṃ na |

The Moon in the 5th (putra): there is no happiness from the mother.

चन्द्रारौ खे धर्मे वा मातृसुखं न ।

candrārau khe dharme vā mātṛsukhaṃ na |

The Moon and Mars in the 10th (kha), or in the 9th (dharma): there is no happiness from the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: candrārau is a dual — the two grahas together, not either of them.

सपापचन्द्रेऽस्ते मातृसुखं न ।

sapāpacandre'ste mātṛsukhaṃ na |

The Moon with a malefic in the 7th: there is no happiness from the mother.

गुरावङ्गे धने मन्दे राहौ द्यूने मातृसुखं न ।

gurāvaṅge dhane mande rāhau dyūne mātṛsukhaṃ na |

Jupiter in the lagna (aṅga), Saturn in the 2nd (dhana), Rāhu in the 7th (dyūna): there is no happiness from the mother.

जीवेऽङ्गेऽर्थे मन्दे सोत्थे राहौ माता न जीवति ।

jīve'ṅge'rthe mande sotthe rāhau mātā na jīvati |

Jupiter in the lagna, Saturn in the 2nd (artha), Rāhu in the 3rd (sottha): the mother does not live.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sottha is this text's own name for the THIRD house, and that is fixed inside the book itself, not guessed: its house-list at A.8 reads deha, dhana, sottha, mātṛ, ātmaja, ari, strī, mṛti, dharma, karma, lābha, vyaya, and the whole viveka at letter M turns on sotthapa with results about brothers. The word is sahottha, 'co-born', contracted — the sibling house. Note also that this sūtra differs from 13 only in Rāhu's place (3rd instead of 7th), and the result hardens from 'no happiness' to 'the mother does not live'.

सोत्थेऽस्तेऽर्के लग्ने भौमे माता न जीवति ।

sotthe'ste'rke lagne bhaume mātā na jīvati |

The Sun in the 3rd (sottha) ⟨or⟩ in the 7th, ⟨and⟩ Mars in the lagna: the mother does not live.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra sets two house-locatives (sotthe, aste) against the single graha arke with no vā between them; the 'or' is supplied, as the edition also reads it. The alternative — a lost akṣara, e.g. sottheśe, 'the lord of the 3rd' — cannot be settled from this OCR and would need the plate.

सोत्थपे त्रिके सचन्द्रे परस्त्रीस्तन्यपानम् ।

sotthape trike sacandre parastrīstanyapānam |

The lord of the 3rd (sottha) in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ together with the Moon: ⟨the child⟩ suckles at another woman's breast.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: trika = the three duḥsthānas, 6th, 8th and 12th. parastrī-stanya-pāna is literally 'drinking the breast-milk of another woman' — the wet-nurse result; the sūtra states the act, not an inference about the mother.

पापान्तरे चन्द्रे वा चन्द्रात्तुर्यनगस्थाः पापा माता न जीवति ।

pāpāntare candre vā candrātturyanagasthāḥ pāpā mātā na jīvati |

The Moon hemmed between malefics, or malefics standing in the 4th (turya) and the 7th (naga) from the Moon: the mother does not live.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: naga ('mountain') is the bhūta-saṅkhyā number-word for SEVEN, and that is how the edition reads it — the 4th and 7th from the Moon. It matters because nāga (serpent) is the word for eight and the two are one mātrā apart; the count is taken as 4 and 7 here on the edition's own reading, not on the resemblance.

लग्नाम्बुधर्मेशास्त्रिकोणकेन्द्रगाः पिता मात्रा सहैव म्रियते ।

lagnāmbudharmeśāstrikoṇakendragāḥ pitā mātrā sahaiva mriyate |

The lords of the lagna, the 4th (ambu) and the 9th (dharma) placed in trikoṇas and kendras: the father dies together with the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sahaiva — 'together with her, and precisely so'; the emphatic eva is on the simultaneity, which is the whole point of the sūtra. ambu ('water') is the 4th house, one more of this text's house-synonyms.

रात्रौ चन्द्रात् त्रिकोणे मन्दे मातृवधः।

rātrau candrāt trikoṇe mande mātṛvadhaḥ|

In a night ⟨birth⟩, Saturn in a trikoṇa from the Moon: the slaying of the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vadha is killing/slaughter, not merely death — sharper than the nāśa of sūtras 7–9, and left sharp. rātrau is read as a night birth, as the edition reads it.

सुखे शुभे कारके शुभयुते बलाढ्ये वा सुखे मातुर्दीर्घायुः।

sukhe śubhe kārake śubhayute balāḍhye vā sukhe māturdīrghāyuḥ|

A benefic in the 4th (sukha), ⟨and⟩ the kāraka — joined with a benefic, or strong — in the 4th: the mother is long-lived.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The vā sits between śubhayute and balāḍhye, so the choice is between the kāraka's being benefic-joined and its being strong; sukhe is repeated in the sūtra and both clauses are in the 4th. kāraka = the significator of the mother (the Moon, or Venus by day — see sūtra 4's note); the sūtra does not name it. This sūtra opens the run of long-life results, 20–23.

चन्द्रे बलाढ्ये वा शुक्रे शुभयुतदृष्टे मातुर्दीर्घायुः ।

candre balāḍhye vā śukre śubhayutadṛṣṭe māturdīrghāyuḥ |

The Moon strong, or Venus joined with or aspected by a benefic: the mother is long-lived.

शुक्रे वा चन्द्रे शुभांशे केन्द्रे मातुर्दीर्घायुः ।

śukre vā candre śubhāṃśe kendre māturdīrghāyuḥ |

Venus, or the Moon, in a benefic's aṃśa and in a kendra: the mother is long-lived.

सुखपांशेशांशपे केन्द्रे बलाढ्ये मातुर्दीर्घायुः ।

sukhapāṃśeśāṃśape kendre balāḍhye māturdīrghāyuḥ |

Take the lord of the aṃśa occupied by the 4th lord; the lord of the aṃśa occupied by THAT graha, standing in a kendra and strong: the mother is long-lived.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sukhapa-aṃśa-īśa-aṃśa-pe is a two-step dispositor chain in one locative singular: the 4th lord → the lord of its navāṃśa → the lord of THAT graha's navāṃśa, and it is the third link that must be strong and in a kendra. The edition reads it the same way in two sentences. Rendered in two clauses because a single English noun phrase becomes unreadable at this depth.

सुखेशेऽङ्गे बलाढ्ये माता पतिव्रता ।

sukheśe'ṅge balāḍhye mātā pativratā |

The 4th lord in the lagna (aṅga) and strong: the mother is devoted to her husband (pativratā).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pativratā is a specific claim — vowed to her husband — and it is the pole against which jāriṇī stands in sūtras 27–28; the two run as a matched pair of results in this viveka and are rendered so as to keep that opposition visible.

सुखपे वैशेषिकांशे शुभदृष्टे माता पतिव्रता ।

sukhape vaiśeṣikāṃśe śubhadṛṣṭe mātā pativratā |

The 4th lord in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, aspected by a benefic: the mother is devoted to her husband.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vaiśeṣikāṃśa is kept untranslated: it is the technical count of favourable vargas a graha attains in the divisional (ṣoḍaśavarga) scheme, not a single named division, so any English gloss would narrow it.

तुर्येशे शुभार्कदृष्टे माता पतिव्रता ।

turyeśe śubhārkadṛṣṭe mātā pativratā |

The 4th lord (turyeśa) aspected by a benefic and by the Sun: the mother is devoted to her husband.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śubha-arka-dṛṣṭe is a dvandva inside the compound — aspected by both, the benefic and the Sun.

षष्ठेशे कुजेन युते चन्द्रे सुखे पापदृष्टे माता जारिणी ।

ṣaṣṭheśe kujena yute candre sukhe pāpadṛṣṭe mātā jāriṇī |

The 6th lord joined with Mars, ⟨and⟩ the Moon in the 4th aspected by a malefic: the mother is an adulteress.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: jāriṇī names the act — a woman who takes a jāra, a paramour — and is rendered at that weight; the edition's 'immoral' (27) and 'not chaste' (28) both flatten it, and flatten the deliberate opposition with pativratā in 24–26.

सुखपे राहुयुते सपापे माता जारिणी ।

sukhape rāhuyute sapāpe mātā jāriṇī |

The 4th lord joined with Rāhu and with a malefic: the mother is an adulteress.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sapāpe is a second and separate condition beyond rāhuyute: Rāhu AND a malefic, not Rāhu taken as the malefic.

लग्नसुखेशावन्योन्यमित्रे शुभेक्षितयुते मातृस्नेहः॥

lagnasukheśāvanyonyamitre śubhekṣitayute mātṛsnehaḥ||

The lords of the lagna and the 4th mutual friends, aspected by and joined with benefics: there is affection ⟨between the native and⟩ the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mātṛ-sneha is two-way in the Sanskrit — affection towards the mother and the mother's affection — and the Hindi मातृस्नेह holds both where the English must supply a direction, hence the angle brackets. Two printing defects here, both left as set: अन्योन्यमित्र stands without its case-ending and with a word-break before शुभेक्षित (read anyonyamitre, dual, agreeing with the two lords), and the sūtra closes with a double daṇḍa ॥ where every other sūtra in this viveka closes with a single one. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads लग्नसुखेशावन्योन्यमित्रे for लग्नसुखेशावन्योन्यमित्र, corrected on the lexicon on 2026-09-20; the case-ending is no longer missing. The word-space and the closing ॥ stay as our file sets them.]

तुर्येशे केन्द्रेऽङ्गेशदृष्टे वा शुभदृग्युते मातृस्नेहः ।

turyeśe kendre'ṅgeśadṛṣṭe vā śubhadṛgyute mātṛsnehaḥ |

The 4th lord (turyeśa) in a kendra and aspected by the lord of the lagna, or joined with and aspected by benefics: there is affection ⟨between the native and⟩ the mother.

तुर्ये पापे द्वित्रा मातरः सौम्ये एका।

turye pāpe dvitrā mātaraḥ saumye ekā|

A malefic in the fourth (turya): two or three mothers; a benefic ⟨there⟩: one.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: saumya is rendered 'benefic' (the class), not Mercury, because it stands in explicit contrast with pāpa in the same sūtra — GLOSSARY row सौम्य. dvitrāḥ is the dvandva-numeral 'two-or-three'; the count is kept exactly.

वृषांशे चतुष्पदाः सुखदाः।

vṛṣāṃśe catuṣpadāḥ sukhadāḥ|

⟨The fourth⟩ in a Taurus (vṛṣa) aṃśa: quadrupeds ⟨cattle⟩ are givers of comfort.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra gives only the locative vṛṣāṃśe with no stated subject. The subject supplied here is the fourth house, on the strength of the immediately following sūtra 33, which states the same apodosis (catuṣpadāḥ sukhadāḥ) with sukhe — the fourth — as its explicit subject. The lord of the fourth is an equally possible elision and the Sanskrit does not decide between them.

सुखे शुभदृष्ट्याधिक्ये चतुष्पदाः सुखदाः ।

sukhe śubhadṛṣṭyādhikye catuṣpadāḥ sukhadāḥ |

The fourth (sukha) having an abundance of benefic aspect: quadrupeds ⟨cattle⟩ are givers of comfort.

वर्गोत्तमेऽङ्गेशे वा स्वोच्चांशके वा स्वमित्रत्र्यंशे वा शुभयुतदृष्टे आजीवं सुखी।

vargottame'ṅgeśe vā svoccāṃśake vā svamitratryaṃśe vā śubhayutadṛṣṭe ājīvaṃ sukhī|

The lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) in vargottama, or in the aṃśa of its own exaltation, or in its own or a friend's tryaṃśa ⟨one-third, the drekkāṇa⟩, and joined with or aspected by benefics: happy for life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅga = the lagna, so aṅgeśa = the lagna lord; this text uses aṅga, lagna and tanu for the first house interchangeably (cf. sūtras 37, 39, 43). tryaṃśa is the one-third division, i.e. the drekkāṇa. ājīvam is 'for the whole of life', and is deliberately not narrowed to a period, unlike the sūtras that follow.

लग्नादातुरीयगाः शुभा आद्ये वयसि सुखम् ।

lagnādāturīyagāḥ śubhā ādye vayasi sukham |

Benefics placed from the lagna as far as the fourth: happiness in the first part of life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: lagnād ā-turīya-gāḥ is a range with the prefixed ā ('up to and including'). This sūtra opens a set of three that partition the life: 35 (lagna to 4th → early), 42 (5th to 8th → middle), 47 (9th to 12th → last).

जीवे केन्द्रेऽङ्गेशे पारावते बाल्ये सुखी ।

jīve kendre'ṅgeśe pārāvate bālye sukhī |

Jupiter in a kendra ⟨and⟩ the lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) in Pārāvata: happy in childhood.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Pārāvata is one of the graded varga-dignities of the daśavarga scheme (Pārijāta, Uttama, Gopura, Siṃhāsana, Pārāvata, Devaloka, Brahmaloka, Śakravāhana, Śrīdhāma), named by the count of favourable divisions a graha holds. The names are kept transliterated, as graha and rāśi names are; the chapter also uses Devaloka (37, 48), Gopura (39, 48, 58), Siṃhāsana (44) and Uttama (46).

धर्मे शुभेऽङ्गे पापेऽर्थे शुभे देवलोके बाल्ये सुखी ।

dharme śubhe'ṅge pāpe'rthe śubhe devaloke bālye sukhī |

A benefic in the ninth (dharma), a malefic in the lagna, a benefic in the second (artha) ⟨and⟩ in Devaloka: happy in childhood.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two OCR errors in this sūtra, left unrepaired in the mūla and read through here: धर्म for धर्मे (the locative the string of locative absolutes requires) and शुमे for शुभे (śubha, as at every other point in the chapter). devaloke stands last and is taken to qualify the adjacent second-house benefic; it could equally be a fourth independent condition on an unnamed graha, and the Sanskrit does not decide. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुभे; this sentence names शुमे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads धर्मे for धर्म as well, corrected on the lexicon on 2026-09-20 with शुभे; neither OCR error is now 'left unrepaired in the mūla'.]

लग्ने शुक्रे पूर्वार्द्धे सुखी ।

lagne śukre pūrvārddhe sukhī |

Venus in the lagna: happy in the first half ⟨of life⟩.

शुभर्क्षेऽङ्गेशे शुभेक्षिते वा गोपुरे त्रिपादात्परं सुखी ।

śubharkṣe'ṅgeśe śubhekṣite vā gopure tripādātparaṃ sukhī |

The lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) in a benefic's sign and aspected by a benefic, or in Gopura: happy after three quarters ⟨of life⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tripādāt param is literally 'beyond three quarters'. Read as three quarters of the lifespan, matching this chapter's other period markers (twenty years in 40, thirty in 41, 'first half' in 38).
6.40a reading here is contested

लग्नेशे चापे वा लग्नेशांशपे वा तथा स्थिते लाभेशे विंशतिवर्षेभ्यः परं सुखी। .

lagneśe cāpe vā lagneśāṃśape vā tathā sthite lābheśe viṃśativarṣebhyaḥ paraṃ sukhī| .

The lord of the lagna in Sagittarius (cāpa), or the lord of the aṃśa of the lagna lord, or the lord of the eleventh (lābha) likewise placed: happy after twenty years.

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 "यः परं सुखी। .". 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: Twenty years, exactly as the mūla sets it (viṃśativarṣebhyaḥ param). The mūla carries the terminal-punctuation defect declared in this file's notes — it closes 'यः परं सुखी। .' with a stray dot after the daṇḍa, which is scanner debris and touches no word; nothing has been supplied. One further OCR error is read through: लगेशांशपे for लग्नेशांशपे. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads लग्नेशांशपे; this sentence names लगेशांशपे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

लग्नेशांशेशे केन्द्रे तथा लाभेशांशेशे वा त्रिंशद्वर्षतः परं सुखम् ।

lagneśāṃśeśe kendre tathā lābheśāṃśeśe vā triṃśadvarṣataḥ paraṃ sukham |

The lord of the aṃśa of the lagna lord in a kendra, and likewise the lord of the aṃśa of the eleventh (lābha) lord, or ⟨either alone⟩: happiness after thirty years.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Thirty years, exactly as the mūla sets it (triṃśadvarṣataḥ param). tathā … vā holds both the joint and the alternative reading; the supplied ⟨either alone⟩ carries the vā.

पञ्चमादाष्टमगाः शुभा मध्ये वयसि सुखम् ।

pañcamādāṣṭamagāḥ śubhā madhye vayasi sukham |

Benefics placed from the fifth as far as the eighth: happiness in the middle part of life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR error read through: पश्चमात् for पञ्चमात् (pañcamāt, 'from the fifth'). The house numbers are secured by the set this sūtra belongs to — 35 (1st to 4th), 42 (5th to 8th), 47 (9th to 12th).

केन्द्रस्था गुरुजन्मतनुपा यौवने सुखम् ।

kendrasthā gurujanmatanupā yauvane sukham |

Jupiter and the lord of the natal lagna (janma-tanu) standing in kendras: happiness in youth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kendrasthāḥ is plural, so it governs both members of the dvandva guru-janmatanupā — Jupiter and the lord of the natal first house — rather than the second alone.

शुभखगैर्लग्नान्त्यलाभगैः केन्द्रे सिंहासने जीवे आद्यमध्यवयसोः सुखम् ।

śubhakhagairlagnāntyalābhagaiḥ kendre siṃhāsane jīve ādyamadhyavayasoḥ sukham |

Benefic grahas placed in the lagna, the twelfth (antya) and the eleventh (lābha), and Jupiter in a kendra in Siṃhāsana: happiness in the first and middle parts of life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: khaga ('sky-goer') is a graha; antya ('the last') is the twelfth house, as riḥpha is in sūtra 47. The three houses are given in the mūla's own order (lagna, antya, lābha) and not renumbered.

लग्नार्थसोत्थे शुभदृष्टियुते शुभाङ्गे जीवे पारावते आद्यमध्यवयसोः सुखम् ।

lagnārthasotthe śubhadṛṣṭiyute śubhāṅge jīve pārāvate ādyamadhyavayasoḥ sukham |

⟨Grahas⟩ in the lagna, the second (artha) and the third (sottha), joined with or aspected by benefics, the lagna itself auspicious, and Jupiter in Pārāvata: happiness in the first and middle parts of life.

2 notes on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. लग्नार्थसोत्थे is lagna + artha + sottha — the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd. The earlier note called the compound 'not cleanly analysable' and rendered सोत्थ etymologically as 'risen together'. 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. śubhāṅge is taken as 'the lagna being benefic' (aṅga = lagna, as in 34, 37, 39); it is not the sandhi of śubhe + aṅge, which the text writes शुभेऽङ्गे in sūtra 49. 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.
  • Corroboration: PARALLEL PASSAGE, and it is a reading-line we already own. JT F.44 · F.45 · F.46 correspond one for one, in order and in content, to Sarvārtha Cintāmaṇi 2.96 · 2.97 · 2.98 in research/translations/sarvartha-chintamani/ch02.json. SC 2.97 reads लग्नार्थसोत्थे शुभदृष्टियोगे लग्नेश्वरे शोभनखेचरेन्द्रे । पारावतांशे यदि दानवेज्ये जातो भवेदादिममध्यसौख्यः — the same compound लग्नार्थसोत्थे, which occurs exactly once in each text, and our corpus renders it there as 'the lagna, the second and the third'. Two divergences inside the parallel are worth recording rather than resolving: SC has दानवेज्ये (Venus) in the pārāvata aṃśa where JT has जीवे पारावते (Jupiter); and the 1941's own English construes JT's शुभाङ्गे as putting Jupiter 'in the 9th or the 1st', where SC's लग्नेश्वरे शोभनखेचरेन्द्रे makes it a statement about the lagna lord. Neither is settled here.

पापा धने केन्द्रे शुभे लग्नेशे उत्तमांशे बाल्ये दुःखी ततः सुखी।

pāpā dhane kendre śubhe lagneśe uttamāṃśe bālye duḥkhī tataḥ sukhī|

Malefics in the second (dhana), a benefic in a kendra, the lord of the lagna in the Uttama aṃśa: miserable in childhood, happy thereafter.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: duḥkhī is kept at its weight — miserable, not merely 'less comfortable'; this is the one sūtra in the run that opens with affliction.

धर्मादारिःफगाः शुभा अन्त्ये वयसि सुखम् ।

dharmādāriḥphagāḥ śubhā antye vayasi sukham |

Benefics placed from the ninth (dharma) as far as the twelfth (riḥpha): happiness in the last part of life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: riḥpha is the twelfth house — a house-synonym not yet in the GLOSSARY, whose value is fixed here by the range: this sūtra completes the partition begun at 35 and 42, so the range must end at the twelfth.

देवलोकांशे शुक्रे गोपुरे लग्नेशे शुभदृष्टे मध्यान्त्यवयसोः सुखम् ।

devalokāṃśe śukre gopure lagneśe śubhadṛṣṭe madhyāntyavayasoḥ sukham |

Venus in the Devaloka aṃśa, the lord of the lagna in Gopura and aspected by a benefic: happiness in the middle and last parts of life.

शुभेऽङ्गे शुभदृष्टे पापयोगरहिते सुखी ।

śubhe'ṅge śubhadṛṣṭe pāpayogarahite sukhī |

A benefic in the lagna, aspected by a benefic and free of any conjunction with a malefic: happy.

पञ्चसु स्वर्क्षगेषु महासुखी ।

pañcasu svarkṣageṣu mahāsukhī |

Five ⟨grahas⟩ occupying their own signs: greatly happy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Five, exactly as the mūla sets it (pañcasu). The noun is elided; grahas is supplied from svarkṣa-ga, 'going in its own sign'.

पातालेशे जीवदृष्टे सुखी ।

pātāleśe jīvadṛṣṭe sukhī |

The lord of the fourth (pātāla) aspected by Jupiter: happy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pātāla is the fourth house — the nadir. A house-synonym not yet in the GLOSSARY; it belongs beside hibuka and rasātala, and this chapter also names the fourth turya (31, 54, 59), sukha (33, 52, 53, 55) and ambu (58).

शुभे सुखे सुखी।

śubhe sukhe sukhī|

A benefic in the fourth (sukha): happy.

सुखेशे शुभान्तरे सुखी।

sukheśe śubhāntare sukhī|

The lord of the fourth (sukha) between benefics: happy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śubhāntare is 'in the interval of benefics' — flanked by benefics on either side, the śubha-kartari configuration. The same phrase governs sūtra 60.

जीवे बलिनि तुर्यपयुते सुखी ।

jīve balini turyapayute sukhī |

Jupiter strong and joined with the lord of the fourth (turya): happy.

केन्द्रकोणे सशुभे सुखेशे सुखी।

kendrakoṇe saśubhe sukheśe sukhī|

The lord of the fourth (sukha) in a kendra or a trikoṇa together with a benefic: happy.

पातालेशे मृद्वंशे सुखी ।

pātāleśe mṛdvaṃśe sukhī |

The lord of the fourth (pātāla) in a mṛdu ⟨mild⟩ aṃśa: happy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mṛdvaṃśe is mṛdu + aṃśa: a 'mild' division. mṛdu is the standing name of the gentle class in the seven-fold classification of nakṣatras and of temperaments; the term is kept transliterated with a gloss rather than resolved to a list, because the sūtra names no list.

लग्नेशाज्जीवे बलिनि सुखी ।

lagneśājjīve balini sukhī |

Jupiter stronger than the lord of the lagna: happy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: lagneśāt is an ablative of comparison governing balini — Jupiter stronger than the lagna lord. The ablative could in principle be positional ('reckoned from the lagna lord'), but the sūtra supplies no place-word for it to reckon to, and balin takes the comparison.

गोपुराद्यंशेऽम्बुपे जीवे च सुखी ।

gopurādyaṃśe'mbupe jīve ca sukhī |

The lord of the fourth (ambu) and Jupiter in the aṃśas of Gopura and above: happy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ambu ('water') is the fourth house, as pātāla is in 51 and 56. OCR error read through: गोपुरागद्यंशे for गोपुराद्यंशे (gopura-ādi-aṃśe), 'in the Gopura and following divisions' — the stray ग is scanner noise. gopurādi is taken as the ascending series of varga-dignities, Gopura and those above it (Siṃhāsana, Pārāvata, Devaloka …), which is the ordinary force of ādi in this scheme. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads गोपुराद्यंशेऽम्बुपे; this sentence names गोपुरागद्यंशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

शुभांशे तुर्येशे धनोपचयगे सुखी ।

śubhāṃśe turyeśe dhanopacayage sukhī |

The lord of the fourth (turya) in a benefic's aṃśa and placed in the second (dhana) or in an upacaya ⟨the 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th⟩: happy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: upacaya is the standing set 3, 6, 10, 11; the numbers are supplied in brackets because the sūtra names the class, not the houses.

शुभान्तरे चन्द्रे सुखी।

śubhāntare candre sukhī|

The Moon between benefics: happy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śubhāntare as in sūtra 53 — flanked by benefics, śubha-kartari.

मेषांशे मूषिकामार्जारं दुःखदम् ।

meṣāṃśe mūṣikāmārjāraṃ duḥkhadam |

In the Meṣa (Aries) aṃśa ⟨of the 4th⟩, mice and cats are a cause of distress.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The three sūtras 61–63 run as one series: the aṃśa (navāṃśa) occupied fixes what troubles the dwelling. The 4th is supplied from that series and from the viveka's subject, not from this sūtra's words.

सिंहांशे श्वादयो दुःखदाः ।

siṃhāṃśe śvādayo duḥkhadāḥ |

In the Siṃha (Leo) aṃśa, dogs and the like are a cause of distress.

कन्यांशेऽग्निकणा दुःखदाः।

kanyāṃśe'gnikaṇā duḥkhadāḥ|

In the Kanyā (Virgo) aṃśa, sparks of fire are a cause of distress.

ज्ञराह्वर्काः सुतस्थास्तुर्ये भौमे रन्ध्रे मन्दे दुःखी ।

jñarāhvarkāḥ sutasthāsturye bhaume randhre mande duḥkhī |

Mercury, Rāhu and the Sun standing in the 5th (suta), Mars in the 4th (turya), Saturn in the 8th (randhra) — ⟨the native is⟩ unhappy.

लग्नगाः पापा दुःखी ।

lagnagāḥ pāpā duḥkhī |

Malefics standing in the lagna — ⟨he is⟩ unhappy.

पापे तुर्ये जीवेऽल्पबलिनि सधनोऽपि दुःखी ।

pāpe turye jīve'lpabalini sadhano'pi duḥkhī |

A malefic in the 4th and Jupiter of little strength — though possessed of wealth, ⟨he is⟩ unhappy.

सपापे सुखपेऽबले सधनोऽपि दुःखी ।

sapāpe sukhape'bale sadhano'pi duḥkhī |

The lord of the 4th (sukha, the house of ease) joined with a malefic and without strength — though possessed of wealth, ⟨he is⟩ unhappy.

पापांशेऽम्बुपे नीचगे सधनपुत्रोऽपि दुःखी ।

pāpāṃśe'mbupe nīcage sadhanaputro'pi duḥkhī |

The lord of the 4th (ambu, 'water') in a malefic's aṃśa and debilitated — though possessed of wealth and of sons, ⟨he is⟩ unhappy.

  • About this edition: ambu ('water') is this text's epithet for the 4th house; ambupa is therefore its lord, the same graha the neighbouring sūtras call sukhapa and gṛheśa.

सभौमार्काम्बुपे क्रूरांशे शुभदृग्घीने नित्यं दुःखी ।

sabhaumārkāmbupe krūrāṃśe śubhadṛgghīne nityaṃ duḥkhī |

The lord of the 4th joined with Mars and the Sun, in a malefic's aṃśa, and devoid of benefic aspect — ⟨he is⟩ perpetually unhappy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print reads क्रूराशे (krūrāśe) where the sense and the parallel in sūtra 70 require क्रूरांशे (krūrāṃśe) — an anusvāra dropped in the OCR. The sense is not in doubt. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads क्रूरांशे; this sentence names क्रूराशे and krūrāśe, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

भौमार्कौ नीचारिभागगौ सुखे पापदृष्टौ क्रूरांशे प्रमादाद्गृहार्थनाशो दुःखी च ।

bhaumārkau nīcāribhāgagau sukhe pāpadṛṣṭau krūrāṃśe pramādādgṛhārthanāśo duḥkhī ca |

Mars and the Sun standing in the bhāga (division) of their debilitation or of an enemy, in the 4th, aspected by malefics, in a malefic's aṃśa — through negligence there is destruction of house and wealth, and ⟨he is⟩ unhappy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pramādāt is 'through negligence, through heedlessness'; it names the native's own carelessness as the occasion of the loss, not an outside accident.

रन्ध्रेशे लाभे बाल्ये दुःखी ।

randhreśe lābhe bālye duḥkhī |

The lord of the 8th (randhra) in the 11th (lābha) — ⟨he is⟩ unhappy in childhood.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print reads रन्धेशे for रन्ध्रेशे — the conjunct's ra lost in the OCR. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads रन्ध्रेशे; this sentence names रन्धेशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

लग्नेऽर्कजेऽष्टमे राहौ षष्ठे भौमे दुःखी ।

lagne'rkaje'ṣṭame rāhau ṣaṣṭhe bhaume duḥkhī |

Saturn in the lagna, Rāhu in the 8th, Mars in the 6th — ⟨he is⟩ unhappy.

पापान्तरे चन्द्रे दुःखी ।

pāpāntare candre duḥkhī |

The Moon in the interval between malefics — ⟨he is⟩ unhappy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pāpāntare is the hemming of the Moon between two malefics (the pāpakartari configuration), not a malefic's daśā-antara; the locative series in the surrounding sūtras is throughout positional.

लग्नेशेऽन्त्ये खे पापे चन्द्रारयोगे दुःखी ।

lagneśe'ntye khe pāpe candrārayoge duḥkhī |

The lord of the lagna in the 12th (antya), a malefic in the 10th (kha), and a conjunction of the Moon and Mars — ⟨he is⟩ unhappy.

तुर्येऽंशाच्चन्द्राच्छौ प्रासादवान् ।

turye'ṃśāccandrācchau prāsādavān |

The Moon and Venus (accha) in the 4th from the aṃśa — he possesses a mansion (prāsāda).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. चन्द्राच्छौ is candra + accha, the Moon and Venus. The earlier note said 'no graha name has the shape -acchau' and left the second member unnamed. 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. The frame the note describes is unchanged and correct: sūtras 76–80 repeat it — a graha or pair standing in the 4th counted from the aṃśa (the navāṃśa lagna) fixes the kind of dwelling. 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'.

तुर्येऽंशादुच्चग्रहे प्रासादवान् ।

turye'ṃśāduccagrahe prāsādavān |

An exalted graha in the 4th from the aṃśa — he possesses a mansion.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print reads उञ्चाग्रहे for उच्चग्रहे (uccagrahe) — a doubled ca read as ñca and a spurious ā.

अंशात्तुर्ये राह्वर्कजौ प्रासादवान् ।

aṃśātturye rāhvarkajau prāsādavān |

Rāhu and Saturn in the 4th from the aṃśa — he possesses a mansion.

केत्वारौ तुर्येऽंशादिष्टकागृहम् ।

ketvārau turye'ṃśādiṣṭakāgṛham |

Ketu and Mars in the 4th from the aṃśa — a house of brick.

सुखेऽंशाज्जीवे काष्ठगृहम् ।

sukhe'ṃśājjīve kāṣṭhagṛham |

सुखेऽंशादर्के तृणगृहम् ।

sukhe'ṃśādarke tṛṇagṛham |

The Sun in the 4th from the aṃśa — a house of grass.

लग्नेशेऽम्बुगे सुखेशेऽङ्गे गृहलाभः ।

lagneśe'mbuge sukheśe'ṅge gṛhalābhaḥ |

The lord of the lagna in the 4th (ambu) and the lord of the 4th (sukha) in the 1st (aṅga) — acquisition of a house.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅga ('the body') is the 1st house, the lagna; the exchange between the lords of the 1st and the 4th is what the sūtra states.

गृहेशे बलाढ्ये केन्द्रे शुभदृष्टे गृहलाभः ।

gṛheśe balāḍhye kendre śubhadṛṣṭe gṛhalābhaḥ |

The lord of the house ⟨the 4th⟩ abounding in strength, in a kendra, aspected by a benefic — acquisition of a house.

सुखेशे वैशेषिकांशे परमोच्चगे गृहलाभः ।

sukheśe vaiśeṣikāṃśe paramoccage gṛhalābhaḥ |

The lord of the 4th in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa and at exact exaltation (paramocca) — acquisition of a house.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vaiśeṣikāṃśa is the standing name for the graded varga-dignities counted from how many favourable divisions a graha occupies (pārijāta, uttama, gopura, siṃhāsana, pārāvata and upward); sūtras 87 and 88 below name three of them by their own names, which fixes the sense here. paramocca is the exact degree of exaltation, not exaltation in general.

तुर्येशांशपे केन्द्रे गृहलाभः ।

turyeśāṃśape kendre gṛhalābhaḥ |

The lord of the aṃśa ⟨occupied by⟩ the lord of the 4th, in a kendra — acquisition of a house.

धर्मपे केन्द्रे गेहेशे स्वोच्चमित्रगे तुर्ये तुङ्गगे ग्रहे विचित्रगृहलाभः ।

dharmape kendre geheśe svoccamitrage turye tuṅgage grahe vicitragṛhalābhaḥ |

The lord of the 9th (dharma) in a kendra, the lord of the house ⟨the 4th⟩ standing in its own sign, its exaltation or a friend's, and an exalted graha in the 4th — acquisition of a vicitra (richly varied) house.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print reads स्वोच for स्वोच्च in svocca-mitra-ga. vicitra of a building is 'variegated, ornamented, a marvel to look at'; the Hindi keeps विचित्र, which holds the same range, where English must lean one way.

सोत्थे सौम्ये तुर्येशे बलिनि गृहेशांशेशे बलपूर्णे हर्म्यप्राकारादियुतगृहम् ।

sotthe saumye turyeśe balini gṛheśāṃśeśe balapūrṇe harmyaprākārādiyutagṛham |

A benefic (saumya) in the 3rd (sottha), the lord of the 4th strong, and the lord of the aṃśa of the lord of the house full of strength — a house furnished with a mansion-block, an enclosing wall and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. सोत्थे is the THIRD HOUSE. The earlier note called the word 'corrupt as printed' and proposed स्वोच्चे; it is neither corrupt nor a dignity-word. 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. saumya is left as 'benefic' in English and as सौम्य in Hindi because it may equally be the graha Mercury; the Devanāgarī holds both and the edition's own English prints 'a benefic planet (or Mercury)'. 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.

तुर्यपे सिंहासने गोपुरे मृदंशे वा हर्म्यप्राकारादियुतगृहम् ।

turyape siṃhāsane gopure mṛdaṃśe vā harmyaprākārādiyutagṛham |

The lord of the 4th in siṃhāsana or in gopura, or else in a mṛd-aṃśa — a house furnished with a mansion-block, an enclosing wall and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: gopura and siṃhāsana are two of the graded varga-dignities of sūtra 83 (the 4th and 5th of the series), not places on the earth. mṛdaṃśa ('the clay/soft portion') the printing does not gloss and no varga of that name stands in the series; it is left transliterated rather than resolved.

गृहेशे पारावते गोपुरे चन्द्रे गुरुदृष्टे दैविकं वेश्म ।

gṛheśe pārāvate gopure candre gurudṛṣṭe daivikaṃ veśma |

The lord of the house ⟨the 4th⟩ in pārāvata ⟨or⟩ gopura and the Moon aspected by Jupiter — a dwelling fit for gods.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pārāvata is the varga-dignity above siṃhāsana. The clause can also be cut 'the lord of the 4th in pārāvata, the Moon in gopura, aspected by Jupiter'; the cut adopted here keeps both dignity-names with the one lord, as sūtra 87 does.

खतुर्येशौ चन्द्रमन्दयुतौ विचित्रं वेश्म ।

khaturyeśau candramandayutau vicitraṃ veśma |

The lords of the 10th (kha) and of the 4th (turya) joined with the Moon and Saturn — a vicitra (richly varied) dwelling.

तुर्याङ्गपौ तुर्येऽकस्माद्गृहाप्तिः ।

turyāṅgapau turye'kasmādgṛhāptiḥ |

The lords of the 4th and of the 1st (aṅga) in the 4th — the acquisition of a house comes unexpectedly.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: akasmāt is 'without a cause one can point to, out of nowhere' — the sūtra makes the suddenness itself the prediction.

यावन्तः पापाः खाम्बुस्वान्त्यनाथैः सहितास्त्रिकस्थास्तावन्तो गृहा वह्निना दह्यन्ते ।

yāvantaḥ pāpāḥ khāmbusvāntyanāthaiḥ sahitāstrikasthāstāvanto gṛhā vahninā dahyante |

As many malefics as stand in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th and 12th⟩ joined with the lords of kha ⟨the 10th⟩, ambu ⟨the 4th⟩, sva ⟨the 2nd⟩ and antya ⟨the 12th⟩ — that many houses are burnt by fire.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The compound as printed reads svāmbu-svāntya-nāthaiḥ, with स्व appearing twice. It can be read either as the lords of sva (the 2nd), ambu (the 4th) and antya (the 12th), or as 'the lords of one's own 4th and one's own 12th'. On both readings the 4th and 12th are named; the 2nd only on the first. trika = the 6th, 8th and 12th. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads खाम्बुस्वान्त्यनाथैः; this sentence names svāmbu, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

राह्वर्कौ अंशे कुजमात्रदृष्टे गृहदाहः ।

rāhvarkau aṃśe kujamātradṛṣṭe gṛhadāhaḥ |

Rāhu and the Sun ⟨together⟩ in an aṃśa, aspected by Mars alone — burning of the house.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: राहर्कौ as printed is rāhu + arkau (the Sun), the sandhi left unresolved by the OCR (rāhvarkau expected). The aṃśa is a divisional position; the sūtra does not say which varga. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads राह्वर्कौ; this sentence names राहर्कौ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

केन्द्रकोणेऽर्के गेहे शैथिल्यप्रयुक्तपातभयम् ।

kendrakoṇe'rke gehe śaithilyaprayuktapātabhayam |

The lord of the 4th (turya) in the 8th (randhra) — he himself pulls his house down.

तुर्याङ्गार्थेशाः यावत्पापयुतास्तावतां गेहानां नाशो न तु शुभदृष्टे ।

turyāṅgārtheśāḥ yāvatpāpayutāstāvatāṃ gehānāṃ nāśo na tu śubhadṛṣṭe |

As many of the lords of the 4th (turya), of the lagna (aṅga) and of the 2nd (artha) as are joined with malefics — that many houses are destroyed; but not when they are aspected by a benefic.

तुर्यतत्पौ चरर्क्षे कारके वा तथा बहुगृहवासः ।

turyatatpau cararkṣe kārake vā tathā bahugṛhavāsaḥ |

The 4th (turya) and its lord in a movable sign, or likewise the kāraka — dwelling in many houses.

गृहतत्पौ स्थिरे तथा कारके वा स्थिरवासः ।

gṛhatatpau sthire tathā kārake vā sthiravāsaḥ |

The 4th (gṛha) and its lord in a fixed sign, or likewise the kāraka — a settled residence.

śubhaṣaṣṭyaṃśe turyeśe sthiravāsaḥ |

The lord of the 4th (turya) in a benefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa — a settled residence.

  • About this edition: The OCR prints पष्ट्यंशे for षष्ट्यंशे; the same ष→प misreading recurs in this unit at 102 (वैशेपिक for वैशेषिक) and 110 (पष्ठेश for षष्ठेश). [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुभषष्ट्यंशे; this sentence names पष्ट्यंशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

The lords of lābha ⟨the 11th⟩ and of artha ⟨the 2nd⟩ in the 4th (turya), the lord of the 4th in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, with the aspect or conjunction of benefics — a house of great worth is obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वैशेपिकांशे as printed is OCR for वैशेषिकांशे (vaiśeṣikāṃśa, the superior divisional dignities). बह्वर्थं गृहं is literally 'a house of much artha', i.e. of great value. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads वैशेषिकांशे; this sentence names वैशेपिकांशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints पष्ठ for षष्ठ three times in this sūtra and अधिकरले for अधिकबले (ल for ब). षष्ठेशतः is taken as the ablative of comparison governed by अधिक-बले, 'stronger than the 6th lord'. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठेशे; this sentence names पष्ठ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

When the ambupa — the lord of the fourth (the “lord of the waters”) — stands with a malefic and is joined with the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of wealth (the second lord), there is destruction of land through the king’s wrath.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vitteśāṃśeśvara is read as a single compound — the lord of the aṃśa (navāṃśa) occupied by the 2nd lord — because the instrumental is singular (-eṇa); it is not two grahas. ambupa (“lord of the waters”) is the 4th lord, the subject of this whole viveka.

सुताङ्गेशमित्रत्वे पुत्रो मित्रम् ।

sutāṅgeśamitratve putro mitram |

When there is friendship between the lord of the fifth (suta) and the lord of the ascendant (aṅgeśa), the son is a friend.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Printed सुताङ्गेऽशमित्रत्वे with an avagraha; read सुताङ्गेशमित्रत्वे (suta-aṅgeśa-mitratve) on the evidence of the two sister sūtras 123 and 124, which set the identical frame without the avagraha. The mark is a scanner reading of श, not a word-break. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सुताङ्गेशमित्रत्वे; this sentence names सुताङ्गेऽशमित्रत्वे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

द्यूनाङ्गेशमित्रत्वे स्त्री मैत्री ।

dyūnāṅgeśamitratve strī maitrī |

When there is friendship between the lord of the seventh (dyūna) and the lord of the ascendant, the wife is a friend.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: strī maitrī is held two-way in the Hindi (स्त्री से मैत्री): the Sanskrit reads either “the wife is a friend” or “friendship with women”, and the run 122–124 (son, wife, many people) favours the domestic sense the English takes.

सुखाङ्गेशमित्रत्वे बहुजनमैत्री ।

sukhāṅgeśamitratve bahujanamaitrī |

When there is friendship between the lord of the fourth (sukha) and the lord of the ascendant, there is friendship with many people.

द्वयोर्मित्रक्षेत्रगयोः सुहृत्पोष्यः ।

dvayormitrakṣetragayoḥ suhṛtpoṣyaḥ |

When the two ⟨lords just named⟩ are both placed in friendly signs, he is maintained by his friends.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सुहृत्योष्यः is not a word; read सुहृत्पोष्यः (suhṛtpoṣyaḥ, “to be maintained by friends”) — य/प is a standard scanner confusion here, and sūtra 138 of this same section sets the exact parallel बन्धुपोष्यः. “The two” is not specified in the sūtra; the antecedent is the pair of lords of 122–124 (the house lord and the lagna lord). [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सुहृत्पोष्यः; this sentence names सुहृत्योष्यः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सुखे शुभदृष्ट्याधिक्ये बहुजनमित्रता ।

sukhe śubhadṛṣṭyādhikye bahujanamitratā |

When benefic aspect on the fourth is in excess, there is friendship with many people.

सुखे सौम्ये सौम्यदृष्टे सुखकारके बलिनि बन्धुपूज्यः।

sukhe saumye saumyadṛṣṭe sukhakārake balini bandhupūjyaḥ|

When a benefic is in the fourth, aspected by a benefic, and the significator of happiness is strong, he is honoured among his kinsmen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: saumya is taken in its class sense (benefic) rather than as Mercury, because the sūtra uses it twice in one breath, once of the occupant and once of the aspecting graha. sukhakāraka — the significator of the 4th — is the Moon; the sūtra does not name it and neither does the rendering.

गेहे जीवे गेहपे शुभयुते बन्धुपूज्यः ।

gehe jīve gehape śubhayute bandhupūjyaḥ |

When Jupiter (jīva) is in the fourth (geha) and the lord of the fourth is joined with a benefic, he is honoured among his kinsmen.

तुर्ये स्वोच्चे स्वमित्रभे वा खेटे गुरुदृष्टे बन्धुपूज्यः ।

turye svocce svamitrabhe vā kheṭe gurudṛṣṭe bandhupūjyaḥ |

When a graha (kheṭa) in the fourth (turya) is in its own exaltation, or in its own or a friend’s sign, and is aspected by Jupiter, he is honoured among his kinsmen.

त्रिभिःस्वर्क्षगैः बन्धुपूज्यः ।

tribhiḥsvarkṣagaiḥ bandhupūjyaḥ |

With three ⟨grahas⟩ placed in their own signs, he is honoured among his kinsmen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The count three is instrumental plural (tribhiḥ) with no noun; “grahas” is supplied.

केन्द्रकोणे सुखेशे वैशेषिकांशे पापदृग्योगहीने बन्धूपकारकृत् ।

kendrakoṇe sukheśe vaiśeṣikāṃśe pāpadṛgyogahīne bandhūpakārakṛt |

When the lord of the fourth (sukheśa) is in a kendra or a trikoṇa, in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, and is free from malefic aspect and conjunction, he does good to his kinsmen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कांशेदृग्योङ्गहीने is corrupt at the akṣara level. दृग्योङ्ग is plainly दृग्योग (a stray nasal), the same element sūtra 137 sets correctly as शुभदृग्योगहीने. The opening कांशे stands for the qualifying word before -āṃśa, most likely क्रूरांश or पापांश; the sense (freedom from malefic influence, matching the auspicious frame of the sūtra) is secure, the exact word is not, and ⟨malefic⟩ is therefore bracketed. No plate has been read here. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पापदृग्योगहीने; this sentence names कांशेदृग्योङ्गहीने, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-10-01: two statements above are no longer true. The plate was read on 2026-09-23: the page sets पाप where our e-text had कांशे (see this verse's mula-corrected plate row of that date). And ⟨malefic⟩ is no longer bracketed: both renderings were repaired the same day to the two members the Sanskrit names.]

तुर्ये सौम्ये बन्धूपकारकृत् ।

turye saumye bandhūpakārakṛt |

When a benefic is in the fourth (turya), he does good to his kinsmen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: saumya alone could be Mercury; it is taken as the class (benefic) to match its use in 127 within the same run. The Hindi keeps सौम्य, which holds both.

धनेशे लाभे त्रिकोणे गेहे शुभदृष्टे बन्धूपकारकृत् ।

dhaneśe lābhe trikoṇe gehe śubhadṛṣṭe bandhūpakārakṛt |

When the lord of wealth (the second lord) is in the eleventh (lābha), in a trikoṇa, or in the fourth (geha), and is aspected by a benefic, he does good to his kinsmen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The three locatives lābhe / trikoṇe / gehe are set side by side without a conjunction; they are read as alternatives, not as one impossible triple position.

गेहेशे केन्द्रे शुभांशे बन्धूपकारकृत् ।

geheśe kendre śubhāṃśe bandhūpakārakṛt |

When the lord of the fourth (geheśa) is in a kendra and in a benefic aṃśa, he does good to his kinsmen.

सपापे तुर्यपे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशेऽल्पवीर्ये बन्धुभिस्त्यज्यते ।

sapāpe turyape krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe'lpavīrye bandhubhistyajyate |

When the lord of the fourth (turyapa) is with a malefic, in a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, and of little strength, he is cast off by his kinsmen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśa is the named cruel sixtieth-part, not merely “a malefic division”; bandhubhis tyajyate is passive — the kinsmen do the abandoning.

बन्धुनाथे बहुपापयुते तथैव कारके बन्धुमध्ये कुत्सितः।

bandhunāthe bahupāpayute tathaiva kārake bandhumadhye kutsitaḥ|

When the lord of the kinsmen’s house (the fourth lord) is joined with many malefics, and the significator likewise, he is despised among his kinsmen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kutsita is “despised, held in contempt” and is left at that weight.

पापर्क्षे तुर्ये नीचास्तखगयुते शुभदृग्योगहीने बन्धुद्वेषी।

pāparkṣe turye nīcāstakhagayute śubhadṛgyogahīne bandhudveṣī|

When the fourth (turya) is a malefic’s sign, occupied by debilitated and combust grahas, and devoid of benefic aspect and conjunction, he hates his kinsmen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bandhudveṣī is active — he is the hater of his kinsmen, not the one they hate.

चतुर्षु ग्रहेषु सुहृद्गेहगेषु बन्धुपोष्यः ।

caturṣu graheṣu suhṛdgehageṣu bandhupoṣyaḥ |

With four grahas placed in the houses of friends (friendly signs), he is maintained by his kinsmen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Printed चतुर्पु; read चतुर्षु (caturṣu, locative plural “in four”) — प for ष is a scanner misreading and the number four is not in doubt. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads चतुर्षु; this sentence names चतुर्पु, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

अन्त्येशे शुभसम्बन्धे शुभवर्गे स्वोच्चे वा पर्यङ्कशायी।

antyeśe śubhasambandhe śubhavarge svocce vā paryaṅkaśāyī|

When the lord of the last house (the twelfth) is in relation with a benefic, in a benefic varga, or in its own exaltation, he sleeps on a couch.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: antyeśa (“lord of the last”) is the 12th lord, confirmed by sūtras 140–141, which restate the same rule with vyayeśa. Printed पर्यङ्ङ्कशायी carries a doubled nasal; read paryaṅkaśāyī. The clause is a comfort-of-the-bed statement, the subject of the four sūtras that follow. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पर्यङ्कशायी; this sentence names पर्यङ्ङ्कशायी, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

व्ययेशे पापसम्बन्धे शयनसुखाभावः।

vyayeśe pāpasambandhe śayanasukhābhāvaḥ|

When the lord of the twelfth (vyayeśa) is in relation with a malefic, there is no comfort of the bed.

व्ययेशे पापेऽपि शुभवर्गे शयनसुखम् ।

vyayeśe pāpe'pi śubhavarge śayanasukham |

Even when the lord of the twelfth is with a malefic, if it is in a benefic varga there is comfort of the bed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Printed शयनसुस्वम्; read शयनसुखम् (śayanasukham) — स्व for ख is a scanner misreading, and the surrounding sūtras 140, 142, 143, 144 all set शयनसुख. The api (“even”) is what makes this sūtra the exception to 140. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शयनसुखम्; this sentence names शयनसुस्वम्, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

लग्नेशे त्रिके शयनसुखाभावः।

lagneśe trike śayanasukhābhāvaḥ|

When the lord of the ascendant is in a trika house (the sixth, eighth or twelfth), there is no comfort of the bed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Printed शयनमुखाभावः; read शयनसुखाभावः with 140, 143 and 144 (म for स). The house numbers 6, 8, 12 are supplied as the standing definition of trika and are not in the sūtra’s words. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शयनसुखाभावः; this sentence names शयनमुखाभावः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

नीचेऽङ्गेशे शयनसुखाभावः ।

nīce'ṅgeśe śayanasukhābhāvaḥ |

When the lord of the ascendant (aṅgeśa) is debilitated, there is no comfort of the bed.

6.144a reading here is contested

देहपे मन्दमान्द्यगुयुते शयनसुखाभावः

dehape mandamāndyaguyute śayanasukhābhāvaḥ

When the lord of the body (dehapa, the lord of the ascendant) is joined with Saturn, Māndi and Rāhu (agu, 'the rayless one'), there is no comfort of the bed.

3 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 चतुर्थविवेकः॥”
  • 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 "ते शयनसुखाभावः". 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: TWO uncertainties, neither repaired. (1) मन्दमान्धगुयुते: मन्द is Saturn beyond doubt; मान्धगु is not a Sanskrit word and is read as the upagraha pair मान्दिगु(लिक) — ध for दि is a scanner misreading and the trailing गु is the head of Gulika. Malefic company is what the sūtra needs and what it plainly has; the exact second and third names are read, not established, so ⟨Gulika⟩ is bracketed. (2) The sūtra ends without a daṇḍa, as the source note records; nothing has been supplied. The section’s colophon इति चतुर्थविवेकः॥ follows and is not a sūtra. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads मन्दमान्द्यगुयुते; this sentence names मन्दमान्धगुयुते, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

Adhyāya 7 · G. अथ पञ्चमविवेकः

सुतर्क्षे शुभे शुभदृष्टयुते बुद्धिमान् ।

sutarkṣe śubhe śubhadṛṣṭayute buddhimān |

A benefic in the 5th sign (suta-ṛkṣa), aspected and joined by benefics: ⟨the native is⟩ intelligent.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sutarkṣa = suta-ṛkṣa, the sign of the 5th house — the subject of this whole viveka.

सुतेशे तुङ्गे वा शुभान्तरे बुद्धिमान् ।

suteśe tuṅge vā śubhāntare buddhimān |

The lord of the 5th exalted, or hemmed between benefics ⟨śubha-kartari⟩: ⟨the native is⟩ intelligent.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śubhāntara read as the kartari figure — the 5th lord with benefics on either side.

गुरौ केन्द्रकोणे बुद्धिमान् ।

gurau kendrakoṇe buddhimān |

Jupiter in a kendra or a trikoṇa: ⟨the native is⟩ intelligent.

शुभभे सुतेशे सुते जीवे बुद्धिमान् ।

śubhabhe suteśe sute jīve buddhimān |

The lord of the 5th in a benefic sign and Jupiter in the 5th: ⟨the native is⟩ intelligent.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुभमे is anomalous — śubha + -me yields no known technical word, and this OCR errs at the akṣara level (edition note). The word must name the benefic PLACE the 5th lord occupies (śubha-ge / śubha-ṛkṣe / śubhāṃśe are all one akṣara away), so ⟨sign⟩ is supplied and flagged rather than silently chosen. Sūtra 28 says the reverse of Jupiter in the 5th; the source does not harmonise them. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुभभे; this sentence names शुभमे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-10-02: ⟨sign⟩ is no longer supplied: the mūla now reads शुभभे for शुभमे, written on the lexicon on 2026-09-20, and भ names the sign itself, so the English says 'a benefic sign' without brackets.]

ज्ञे सुते वा सुतेशे बलिनि केन्द्रे वा बुद्धिमान् ।

jñe sute vā suteśe balini kendre vā buddhimān |

Mercury in the 5th; or the lord of the 5th strong; or ⟨the lord of the 5th⟩ in a kendra: ⟨the native is⟩ intelligent.

पुत्रेशे केन्द्रे शुभान्विते धारणादिपटुः ।

putreśe kendre śubhānvite dhāraṇādipaṭuḥ |

The lord of the 5th (putreśa) in a kendra and joined with a benefic: ⟨the native is⟩ adept at retention ⟨dhāraṇā⟩ and the rest.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: putreśa = the lord of the 5th, the house of children; dhāraṇādi covers retention of what is learnt and the faculties reckoned with it.

सुतेशे कारके मृद्वंशादियुते शुभदृग्युते धारणादिपटुः ।

suteśe kārake mṛdvaṃśādiyute śubhadṛgyute dhāraṇādipaṭuḥ |

The lord of the 5th and the kāraka ⟨Jupiter⟩ in Mṛdu and the like ⟨ṣaṣṭyaṃśas⟩ and aspected by benefics: ⟨the native is⟩ adept at retention and the rest.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मृद्वंश = the Mṛdu ṣaṣṭyaṃśa; ādi extends it to the other benefic ṣaṣṭyāṃśas — the express counterpart of krūra-ṣaṣṭyaṃśa in sūtras 17 and 21. The kāraka of the 5th is Jupiter.

सुतपे गोपुरादौ धारणादिपटुः ।

sutape gopurādau dhāraṇādipaṭuḥ |

The lord of the 5th in gopura and the ⟨higher⟩ ⟨divisional dignities⟩: ⟨the native is⟩ adept at retention and the rest.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: gopura is the fourth rung of the vaiśeṣikāṃśa ladder (a graha dignified in four vargas); gopurādi = gopura and the ranks above it (siṃhāsana, pārāvata and so on).

सुतकारके गोपुरादौ परेङ्गितज्ञो मेधावी ।

sutakārake gopurādau pareṅgitajño medhāvī |

The kāraka of the 5th ⟨Jupiter⟩ in gopura and the like: ⟨the native⟩ reads the unspoken signs of others and is of keen intellect (medhāvī).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: paroṅgitajña — one who knows another's gesture, i.e. reads intention before it is uttered. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads परेङ्गितज्ञो for परोङ्गितज्ञो, corrected on 2026-09-20 (cross-corpus: पर + इङ्गित gives pareṅgita by guṇa, as in Phaladīpikā ch. 9); the gloss above holds for the corrected word.]

लग्नकोणे चन्द्रार्कौ चञ्चलधीः ।

lagnakoṇe candrārkau cañcaladhīḥ |

The Moon and the Sun in a trikoṇa from the lagna: ⟨the native is⟩ of unsteady mind.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: lagna-koṇa taken as the trine reckoned from the lagna (the 5th and 9th); it can also be read 'in the lagna and in the trine'.

केन्द्रे जीवे चञ्चलधीः ।

kendre jīve cañcaladhīḥ |

Jupiter in a kendra: ⟨the native is⟩ of unsteady mind.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: As printed this stands against sūtra 3, where Jupiter in a kendra or trikoṇa makes the native intelligent. The source does not reconcile them and nothing is supplied to do so.

ज्ञेन्द्वाराणामुपरि बलिग्रहदृष्टौ क्षिप्रोत्तरदानशीलः ।

jñendvārāṇāmupari baligrahadṛṣṭau kṣiprottaradānaśīlaḥ |

The aspect of a strong graha falling upon Mercury, the Moon and Mars: ⟨the native is⟩ quick to give an answer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Printed ज्ञेन्द्राराणाम्. Read jña-indu-āra (Mercury, Moon, Mars): ज्ञेन्द्वार misread as ज्ञेन्द्रार is the ordinary द्वा/द्रा slip, and the author writes इन्दु for the Moon at sūtra 22. If the plate really carries इन्द्र, the middle graha is not identifiable from the text. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads ज्ञेन्द्वाराणामुपरि; this sentence names ज्ञेन्द्रार, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सौम्येऽर्थेऽबले पापदृष्टे चलवित्तः ।

saumye'rthe'bale pāpadṛṣṭe calavittaḥ |

A benefic in the 2nd and weak, aspected by a malefic: ⟨the native's⟩ wealth is unsteady.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two akṣara-level uncertainties, both left as printed. (a) बले is anomalous: either balini ('being strong', as rendered) or the head of bali-pāpa-dṛṣṭe, 'aspected by a STRONG malefic' — the author uses bali- compounds at sūtra 12. (b) This viveka is otherwise wholly about the mind, and calavitta ('unsteady wealth') is one akṣara from calacitta ('fickle-minded'); rendered as the file prints it, not as the context invites.

ससोत्थपे ज्ञे सात्विकः ।

sasotthape jñe sātvikaḥ |

Mercury (jña) together with the lord of the 3rd (sa-sotthapa): ⟨the native is⟩ sāttvika ⟨sincere and honest⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08, and the mūla corrected with it. The earlier note read: "ने stands where a graha or a bhāva has to stand, and nothing in the sūtra fixes which; ज्ञे (Mercury) and धने (the 2nd) are each within the OCR's known error, so the gap is marked rather than filled." The second exemplar fixes it. The 1914 Śrīnivāsa Mahādeva Śarmā printing sets ससोत्थपे ज्ञे सात्विकः ॥१४॥ (sharma-1914-hindi__dli-406051_djvu.txt L7700) and its own Hindi ṭīkā glosses तृतीय भाव के स्वामी [बुध] युक्त होवे तो सात्विक प्रकृति वाला होवे. The 1941 edition's facing English at dli2015-32366_djvu.txt L8071-8073 states the same claim — the 3rd lord conjoined with Mercury, and an honest, sincere native. ने is a one-akṣara scanner loss from ज्ञे. सोत्थप is the lord of the 3rd under the सोत्थ ruling of the same date.

व्ययेशेऽङ्गे सुवाक् ।

vyayeśe'ṅge suvāk |

The lord of the 12th in the 1st (aṅga): ⟨the native is⟩ a good speaker.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅga = the body = the 1st house/lagna.

लग्ने चन्द्रे मन्दारदृष्टे हीनधीः ।

lagne candre mandāradṛṣṭe hīnadhīḥ |

The Moon in the lagna aspected by Saturn and Mars: ⟨the native is⟩ of deficient intellect.

सुतेशे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे हीनधीः ।

suteśe krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe hīnadhīḥ |

The lord of the 5th in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa: ⟨the native is⟩ of deficient intellect.

मन्दारार्काश्चन्द्रं पश्यन्ति मौर्ख्यकाराः ।

mandārārkāścandraṃ paśyanti maurkhyakārāḥ |

Saturn, Mars and the Sun aspecting the Moon: they are makers of stupidity (maurkhya).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: paśyanti is the technical dṛṣṭi, not literal sight. maurkhya is rendered at its weight — the word is 'stupidity', not 'slowness'.

त्रिके चन्द्रे शुक्रदृष्टे विस्मयशीलः ।

trike candre śukradṛṣṭe vismayaśīlaḥ |

The Moon in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ aspected by Venus: ⟨the native is⟩ given to astonishment.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: बिस्मय is OCR for विस्मय (spelt correctly at sūtras 20 and 21). vismaya-śīla = apt to be astonished; the word can also carry the sense of self-conceit, and the sūtra does not decide between them. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads विस्मयशीलः; this sentence names बिस्मय, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सपापे सुतपे विस्मयशीलः ।

sapāpe sutape vismayaśīlaḥ |

The lord of the 5th joined with a malefic: ⟨the native is⟩ given to astonishment.

धीकारके सपापे चा क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे विस्मयशीलः ।

dhīkārake sapāpe cā krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe vismayaśīlaḥ |

The kāraka of intellect ⟨Mercury⟩ joined with a malefic and ⟨placed⟩ in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa: ⟨the native is⟩ given to astonishment.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Three OCR slips, all kept as printed: चा for च ('and'; वा, 'or', is equally close), षट्यंशे for षष्ट्यंशे, विस्मयीलः for विस्मयशीलः. dhī-kāraka = Mercury, the significator of intellect. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads विस्मयशीलः for विस्मयीलः, 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.]

केन्द्रगा मन्देन्दुगुलिका जडः।

kendragā mandendugulikā jaḍaḥ|

Saturn, the Moon and Gulika occupying kendras: ⟨the native is⟩ dull.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Gulika (Māndi), the sub-graha reckoned as Saturn's son.

धने गुलिकार्कौ पापदृष्टौ वा सार्कजे सोत्थपे जडः।

dhane gulikārkau pāpadṛṣṭau vā sārkaje sotthape jaḍaḥ|

Gulika and the Sun in the 2nd, or ⟨they⟩ aspected by malefics; ⟨or⟩ the lord of the 3rd together with Saturn: ⟨the native is⟩ dull.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: गुलिकाकौं is OCR; the dual पापदृष्टौ requires a dual subject, so गुलिकार्कौ (Gulika and the Sun). गुलिकार्कजौ (Gulika and Saturn, as at sūtra 27) is the other candidate, but Saturn is already named later in this same sūtra by सार्कजे. सोत्थप = sahottha-pa, the lord of the 3rd (cf. 14, 25).

सपापे धनेशे खे सभाजडः ।

sapāpe dhaneśe khe sabhājaḍaḥ |

The lord of the 2nd joined with a malefic in the 10th (kha): ⟨the native is⟩ dull in an assembly.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kha = the sky = the 10th house. sabhā-jaḍa: the dullness is specifically public — tongue-tied before an assembly, the 2nd being the house of speech.

सतमसि सोत्थपे जडः ।

satamasi sotthape jaḍaḥ |

The lord of the 3rd together with Rāhu (tamas): ⟨the native is⟩ dull.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tamas = Rāhu; the sa- prefix names the companion exactly as at sūtras 20, 23 and 26.

सुते मन्दे लग्नेशे मन्ददृष्टे सुतेशे सपापे जडः।

sute mande lagneśe mandadṛṣṭe suteśe sapāpe jaḍaḥ|

Saturn in the 5th, the lord of the lagna aspected by Saturn, and the lord of the 5th joined with a malefic: ⟨the native is⟩ dull.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: जडा is OCR for जडः. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads जडः; this sentence names जडा, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

गुलिकार्कजौ सुते शुभयोगहीने जडः ।

gulikārkajau sute śubhayogahīne jaḍaḥ |

Gulika and Saturn in the 5th, that ⟨house⟩ devoid of any benefic conjunction: ⟨the native is⟩ dull.

सुते जीवे मेधानाशः।

sute jīve medhānāśaḥ|

Jupiter in the 5th: destruction of the intellect (medhā).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Rendered at full weight — medhā-nāśa is destruction, not weakening. It stands directly against sūtra 4, where Jupiter in the 5th makes the native intelligent; both are left as the source has them.

अंशे केतौ शुक्रमात्रदृष्टे याज्ञिकः ।

aṃśe ketau śukramātradṛṣṭe yājñikaḥ |

Ketu in the aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩, aspected by Venus alone: ⟨the native is⟩ a performer of sacrifices (yājñika).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṃśa here is the navāṃśa division; the sūtra does not say whose navāṃśa — the aṃśa-lagna is the usual referent, and sūtra 30 reckons a trine FROM the aṃśa, which supports that. śukra-mātra-dṛṣṭa: Venus and no other graha.

अंशात्कोणे पापद्वये मान्त्रिकः ।

aṃśātkoṇe pāpadvaye māntrikaḥ |

Two malefics in a trikoṇa from the aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩: ⟨the native is⟩ a māntrika ⟨an adept in mantras⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pāpa-dvaya is exactly two malefics, not 'malefics' generally.

अंशात्कोणे पापद्वये पापदृष्टौ भूतादिनिग्रहकर्ता ।

aṃśātkoṇe pāpadvaye pāpadṛṣṭau bhūtādinigrahakartā |

⟨If⟩ two malefics ⟨stand⟩ in a trikoṇa (a trine) from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa⟩ and are aspected by a malefic, ⟨the native becomes⟩ one who holds bhūtas ⟨spirits⟩ and the like in subjection.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṃśa throughout this run of sūtras (29–41) means the navāṃśa occupied by the ātmakāraka — the kārakāṃśa; the edition's own English glosses it so from sūtra 29 onward. Rendered literally as 'the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa⟩' here and below. The preceding sūtra 30 places the two malefics there without the malefic aspect and makes him a sorcerer; this sūtra adds the aspect.

अंशात्कोणे पापे शुभदृष्टे ऽनुग्राहकः।

aṃśātkoṇe pāpe śubhadṛṣṭe 'nugrāhakaḥ|

⟨If⟩ a malefic in a trikoṇa from the aṃśa is aspected by a benefic, ⟨he becomes⟩ one who bestows favour ⟨anugraha⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: anugrāhaka answers nigraha-kartā of 31: subduing / favouring. On the natural reading of the pair the object is the same — the spirits of 31 — so he propitiates rather than subdues them; the edition's English takes it generally ('gracious and kind'). The Hindi अनुग्राहक holds both, as the Sanskrit does; the English has to choose an object and does not supply one.

अंशे ज्ञेन्दुशुक्रदृष्टे वा धनेशे द्यूने भिषक् ।

aṃśe jñenduśukradṛṣṭe vā dhaneśe dyūne bhiṣak |

⟨If⟩ the aṃśa is aspected by Mercury, the Moon and Venus, or ⟨if⟩ the lord of the 2nd is in the 7th (dyūna), ⟨he is⟩ a physician.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dyūna (from Greek δύνων, 'setting') is this text's name for the 7th house; cf. asta at 56.

शुक्रेन्दुदृष्टेऽंशे रसवादी ।

śukrendudṛṣṭe'ṃśe rasavādī |

⟨If⟩ the aṃśa is aspected by Venus and the Moon, ⟨he is⟩ an alchemist (rasavādin).

अंशात्सुते सपापौ चन्द्रेज्यौ ग्रन्थकृत् ।

aṃśātsute sapāpau candrejyau granthakṛt |

⟨If⟩ the Moon and Jupiter, together with a malefic, ⟨are⟩ in the 5th (suta) from the aṃśa, ⟨he is⟩ an author of books.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: candra-ijyau: ijya ('he who is to be worshipped') = Jupiter, as in jña-ijyau at 37.

अर्थसुतयोरंशाज्जीवे वैयाकरणः ।

arthasutayoraṃśājjīve vaiyākaraṇaḥ |

⟨If⟩ Jupiter ⟨is⟩ in the 2nd (artha) or the 5th (suta) from the aṃśa, ⟨he is⟩ a grammarian.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: arthasutayoḥ is a locative dual, but the single graha can occupy only one of the two, so 'or'; the edition reads it the same way.

धने सोत्थे सुतेऽंशात् ज्ञेज्यौ मीमांसकः ।

dhane sotthe sute'ṃśāt jñejyau mīmāṃsakaḥ |

⟨If⟩ Mercury and Jupiter ⟨are⟩ in the 2nd (dhana), the 3rd (sottha) or the 5th (suta) from the aṃśa, ⟨he is⟩ a Mīmāṃsaka.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sottha (sa-uttha / sahottha, 'co-born' = brother) is this text's name for the 3rd house — it recurs at 38, 39, 40, 41 and 46, and the edition's own English reads 'the 3rd house' at each. A house-synonym not yet in GLOSSARY.md; it belongs there keyed to this sūtra.

अंशात्सुतार्थसोत्थे जीवारौ तार्किकः ।

aṃśātsutārthasotthe jīvārau tārkikaḥ |

⟨If⟩ Jupiter and Mars ⟨are⟩ in the 5th, the 2nd or the 3rd from the aṃśa, ⟨he is⟩ a logician (tārkika).

अंशाद्धने पुत्रे सोत्थे जीवेन्दू साङ्ख्यज्ञः ।

aṃśāddhane putre sotthe jīvendū sāṅkhyajñaḥ |

⟨If⟩ Jupiter and the Moon ⟨are⟩ in the 2nd, the 5th or the 3rd from the aṃśa, ⟨he is⟩ versed in Sāṅkhya.

अंशाद्धने पुत्रे सोत्थे जीवार्कौ वेदान्तसङ्गीतज्ञः ।

aṃśāddhane putre sotthe jīvārkau vedāntasaṅgītajñaḥ |

⟨If⟩ Jupiter and the Sun ⟨are⟩ in the 2nd, the 5th or the 3rd from the aṃśa, ⟨he is⟩ versed in Vedānta and in music.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints jīvārakau; āraka is not a graha-name. The sense requires jīvārkau (jīva + arka = Jupiter and the Sun) — a lost repha — and the edition's own English reads 'Jupiter and the Sun'. Rendered accordingly. Had jīvārau been meant (as at 38) it would be Jupiter and Mars, which would duplicate 38's condition with a different result. Settle on the 1941 plate. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads जीवार्कौ; this sentence names jīvārakau, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-10-02: the plate question above is answered by the 2026-09-20 lexicon ruling: आरक names no graha and 7.38 already has Jupiter and Mars, so the mūla now reads जीवार्कौ for जीवारकौ, Jupiter and the Sun.]

बल्यष्टमेशे ज्ञे गुरौ लग्नेऽष्टमे मन्दे गणितज्ञः ।

⟨If⟩ Mercury ⟨is⟩ the strong lord of the 8th, Jupiter ⟨is⟩ in the lagna (the ascendant) and Saturn in the 8th, ⟨he is⟩ skilled in mathematics.

जीवे केन्द्रकोणे बलिनि शुक्रे ज्ञेऽर्थे गणितज्ञः।

⟨If⟩ Jupiter ⟨is⟩ in a kendra or a trikoṇa, and strong Venus and Mercury ⟨are⟩ in the 2nd, ⟨he is⟩ skilled in mathematics.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: balini is a locative singular standing next to śukre and is taken with Venus; it can also be read back with jīve ('strong Jupiter in a kendra or trikoṇa'). Word order decides it here and nothing else does. This sūtra's English is absent from the edition's OCR (a dropped block), so the reading is from the Sanskrit alone.

ज्ञाच्छौ सोत्थार्थगौ ज्योतिर्विदां श्रेष्ठः।

jñācchau sotthārthagau jyotirvidāṃ śreṣṭhaḥ|

⟨If⟩ Mercury and Venus ⟨are⟩ placed in the 3rd or the 2nd, ⟨he is⟩ the foremost of astrologers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: accha ('clear, pellucid') = Venus, as in jīvācchau at 58 and 59; the edition's English reads 'Mercury and Venus' here and 'Jupiter and Venus' there. Another epithet for GLOSSARY.md.

धनेशे बलिनि केन्द्रायकोणे ज्ञे ज्योतिर्विदां श्रेष्ठः ।

dhaneśe balini kendrāyakoṇe jñe jyotirvidāṃ śreṣṭhaḥ |

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: MŪLA CORRECTED 2026-09-08 on the 1941 plate: the e-text read स्वेशे, the printing sets खेशे. This is the site that runs the OTHER WAY from A.72 and A.76, and it is why no blanket ख↔स्व substitution may be made in this book. This printing's स्व ligature closely resembles ख, and the e-text confuses the two in BOTH directions — so no blanket substitution is safe and each site is decided on the plate. Read at 1941 plate magnification: A.72 and A.76 print स्व where the e-text has ख, and G.54 prints ख where the e-text has स्व. The English and the Hindi already named the tenth lord correctly, on the edition's facing translation; only the Sanskrit disagreed with them, and the gloss now reads (kha) rather than (sva). Controls read on the plates themselves. (1) The 1941 sets its own gloss 'He is स्वस्थ-Swasttha' inside the English of page index 24 (printed 17), giving a labelled स्व glyph; (2) संख्या appears three times in A.74 on page index 22 (printed 15), giving a labelled ख glyph; the two are distinguishable at 8×. (3) Page index 168 (printed 161) carries BOTH forms — खेशे at ५४ and स्वर्क्ष at ५९ — on one plate. The facing English states the same claims and is compared on them, not quoted: at A.72 it names svakṣetra, exaltation and mūlatrikoṇa as the three dignities; at A.76 it glosses the opening state as exaltation and the next as the graha's own house, printing the labelled form स्वस्थ-Swasttha; at G.54 it puts the lord of the TENTH in the lagna and makes the native a poet, which the edition's own English index confirms under POET at G—54, 55.

लाभेशे लाभे कविः।

lābheśe lābhe kaviḥ|

⟨If⟩ the lord of the 11th ⟨is⟩ in the 11th, ⟨he is⟩ a poet.

तुर्येशेऽङ्गेऽस्ते पण्डितोऽपि सभामूकः।

turyeśe'ṅge'ste paṇḍito'pi sabhāmūkaḥ|

⟨If⟩ the lord of the 4th (turya) ⟨is⟩ in the lagna or in the 7th (asta), then, though a paṇḍita, he is dumb in the assembly.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sabhāmūka is 'mute in the assembly' and the api ('even so, though') is the point of the sūtra — the learning is granted and the speech is denied. Not softened.

चन्द्रात्कोणे जीवे ज्ञात्कोणे भौमे सर्वविदः ।

candrātkoṇe jīve jñātkoṇe bhaume sarvavidaḥ |

⟨If⟩ Jupiter ⟨is⟩ in a trikoṇa from the Moon and Mars in a trikoṇa from Mercury, ⟨he is⟩ one who knows everything.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sarvavidaḥ as printed is not the nominative singular (that would be sarvavit); it reads as a nominative plural or a stem-shift. Rendered in the singular with the rest of the section, whose apodoses are all singular. The sense is not in doubt.

जीवाच्छौ धनेशौ रव्यारदृष्टौ तार्किकः ।

jīvācchau dhaneśau ravyāradṛṣṭau tārkikaḥ |

⟨If⟩ Jupiter and Venus ⟨are⟩ lords of the 2nd and aspected by the Sun and Mars, ⟨he is⟩ a logician.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two grahas cannot both own the 2nd in one nativity; the duals distribute — the edition reads 'Jupiter or Venus owning the 2nd, aspected by the Sun or Mars respectively'. The Sanskrit states the pairing and leaves the distribution to the reader, and both renderings keep it that way.

जीवाच्छौ तुङ्गस्वर्क्षत्रिकोणगौ तार्किकः ।

jīvācchau tuṅgasvarkṣatrikoṇagau tārkikaḥ |

⟨If⟩ Jupiter and Venus occupy their exaltation, their own sign, or a trikoṇa, ⟨he is⟩ a logician.

बलिनि गुरौ तद्भेशे रविशुक्रदृष्टे शाब्दिकः ।

balini gurau tadbheśe raviśukradṛṣṭe śābdikaḥ |

⟨If⟩ Jupiter is strong and the lord of the sign he occupies (tad-bha) is aspected by the Sun and Venus, ⟨he is⟩ a grammarian (śābdika).

धनेशे ज्ञे तुङ्गे गोपुरेऽर्कजे सिंहासने जीवे च वेदान्तज्ञः।

dhaneśe jñe tuṅge gopure'rkaje siṃhāsane jīve ca vedāntajñaḥ|

Mercury, lord of the 2nd (dhana), exalted; Saturn in gopura; and Jupiter in siṃhāsana — ⟨the native is⟩ a knower of Vedānta.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: गोपुर, सिंहासन, पारावत, देवलोक and उत्तमांश (verses 61–76) are not rāśis but vaiśeṣikāṃśa dignities — the names given to a graha according to how many of the ten vargas it occupies in its own or a friendly division (uttamāṃśa 3, gopura 4, siṃhāsana 5, pārāvata 6, devaloka 7). They are kept untranslated in both languages; sūtra 68 names the class itself (वैशेषिकांश). धनेशे ज्ञे तुङ्गे is read as three locatives in agreement, 'Mercury, lord of the 2nd, being exalted'; it could also be read as two separate conditions, 'the lord of the 2nd and Mercury being exalted'.

पारावते मन्दे ज्ञेन गुरौ दृष्टे वेदान्तज्ञः ।

pārāvate mande jñena gurau dṛṣṭe vedāntajñaḥ |

Saturn in pārāvata, and Jupiter aspected by Mercury — a knower of Vedānta.

केन्द्रकोणे जीवे वेदान्तज्ञः ।

kendrakoṇe jīve vedāntajñaḥ |

Jupiter in a kendra or a trikoṇa — a knower of Vedānta.

उत्तमांशे भृगौ लग्ने वेदान्तज्ञः ।

uttamāṃśe bhṛgau lagne vedāntajñaḥ |

Venus in uttamāṃśa, in the lagna — a knower of Vedānta.

देवलोके चन्द्रे उत्तमांशे भृगौ केन्द्रे वेदान्तज्ञः ।

devaloke candre uttamāṃśe bhṛgau kendre vedāntajñaḥ |

The Moon in devaloka, Venus in uttamāṃśa in a kendra — a knower of Vedānta.

केन्द्रे जीवे सिंहासने शुक्रे धनस्थभांशेशे ज्ञे गोपुरे षट्शास्त्रवल्लभः ।

Jupiter in a kendra, Venus in siṃhāsana, and Mercury — lord of the aṃśa of the sign standing in the 2nd — in gopura: ⟨he is⟩ a lover of the six śāstras.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed पट्शास्त्र is an OCR misreading of षट्शास्त्र, which sūtras 67 and 69 print correctly; rendered as षट्शास्त्र. In धनस्थभांशेश the word भ (bha, 'luminary/asterism') is taken in its common Jātaka Tattva use for the rāśi occupying the house, so the compound is 'lord of the aṃśa of the sign standing in the 2nd'. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षट्शास्त्रवल्लभः; this sentence names पट्शास्त्र, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

कोशेशस्थानेश्वरांशेशे मन्दे वा भौमे सपापे केन्द्र कोणगे षट्शास्त्रवल्लभः।

kośeśasthāneśvarāṃśeśe mande vā bhaume sapāpe kendra koṇage ṣaṭśāstravallabhaḥ|

The lord of the aṃśa of the lord of the sign occupied by the lord of the 2nd (kośa) being Saturn, or else Mars accompanied by a malefic, placed in a kendra or a trikoṇa — ⟨he is⟩ a lover of the six śāstras.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कोशंश is printed for कोशांश. The opening compound कोशांशस्थानेश्वरांशेश is nested four deep and its bracketing is not fully determined by the Sanskrit: it is rendered here step by step (the 2nd's aṃśa → the lord of the sign that aṃśa falls in → that lord's own aṃśa-lord). केन्द्र कोणगे is printed with a space; read as केन्द्रकोणगे. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads कोशेशस्थानेश्वरांशेशे; this sentence names कोशंश, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history. The 1941 press itself sets कोशंश, read by eye at about 3.3x native (PDF p.170); the correction follows the 1915 printing, its ṭīkā's धनेश and the 1941 editor's own English.]

सूर्यांशेशे वैशेषिकांशे बलिन्यर्थे षट्शास्त्रवल्लभः।

sūryāṃśeśe vaiśeṣikāṃśe balinyarthe ṣaṭśāstravallabhaḥ|

The lord of the Sun's aṃśa in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, strong, in the 2nd (artha) — ⟨he is⟩ a lover of the six śāstras.

  • About this edition: षट्शास्र is an OCR slip for षट्शास्त्र. बलिन्यार्थे resolves as बलिनि + अर्थे ('being strong, in the 2nd'); the long ā is a doubled mātrā, since sūtra 69 prints the same juncture correctly as बलिन्यर्थे. वैशेषिकांश is the class-name of the dignities गोपुर, सिंहासन, पारावत, देवलोक etc. used through this section. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads बलिन्यर्थे and षट्शास्त्रवल्लभः; this sentence names बलिन्यार्थे and षट्शास्र, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

गुरौ बलिन्यर्थे धनेशांशेशे केन्द्रे शुभदृष्टे षट्शास्त्रवल्लभः।

gurau balinyarthe dhaneśāṃśeśe kendre śubhadṛṣṭe ṣaṭśāstravallabhaḥ|

Jupiter strong in the 2nd (artha), and the lord of the aṃśa of the lord of the 2nd in a kendra aspected by a benefic — ⟨he is⟩ a lover of the six śāstras.

कोशेऽङ्गेशे कोशेशे पारावते वेदान्ती ।

kośe'ṅgeśe kośeśe pārāvate vedāntī |

The lord of the lagna (aṅga) in the 2nd (kośa), and the lord of the 2nd in pārāvata — a Vedāntin.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्ग ('the body') is this text's word for the 1st house, and कोश ('the treasury') for the 2nd; both are rendered by house-number per the glossary's house-synonym rule.

स्वोच्चेऽङ्गे ज्ञे कोशेशे पारावते व्यये शुक्रे वेदान्ती ।

svocce'ṅge jñe kośeśe pārāvate vyaye śukre vedāntī |

Mercury in the 1st (aṅga) in its own exaltation, the lord of the 2nd (kośa) in pārāvata, and Venus in the 12th (vyaya) — a Vedāntin.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Mercury's exaltation is Kanyā, so 'Mercury exalted in the 1st' specifies a Kanyā lagna.

धीकारके केन्द्रकोणे शुभदृष्टे भविष्यद्वक्ता ।

dhīkārake kendrakoṇe śubhadṛṣṭe bhaviṣyadvaktā |

The significator of intellect (dhī-kāraka) in a kendra or a trikoṇa, aspected by a benefic — a foreteller of what is to come.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra does not name the dhī-kāraka. धी is ordinarily the intellect whose kāraka is Mercury, though in a chapter otherwise dominated by Jupiter the identification is not beyond dispute; the epithet is kept rather than resolved.

जीवे स्वांशे मृद्वंशे त्रिकालज्ञः ।

jīve svāṃśe mṛdvaṃśe trikālajñaḥ |

Jupiter in its own aṃśa, in a mṛdu aṃśa — a knower of the three times.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मृद्वंशे resolves as मृदु + अंशे. Mṛdu ('mild') is one of the sixty ṣaṣṭyāṃśas the work itself names at A.22, and is read so here; a general sense 'a gentle division' cannot be excluded on this line alone.

जीवे गोपुरे शुभदृष्टे त्रिकालज्ञः ।

jīve gopure śubhadṛṣṭe trikālajñaḥ |

Jupiter in gopura, aspected by a benefic — a knower of the three times.

खेशे देवलोके शुभदृष्टे ब्रह्मनिष्ठः ।

kheśe devaloke śubhadṛṣṭe brahmaniṣṭhaḥ |

The lord of the 10th (kha) in devaloka, aspected by a benefic — one fixed on Brahman.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ख ('the sky') is the 10th house.

भाग्यपे पारावते शुभदृष्टे ब्रह्मनिष्ठः ।

bhāgyape pārāvate śubhadṛṣṭe brahmaniṣṭhaḥ |

The lord of the 9th (bhāgya) in pārāvata, aspected by a benefic — one fixed on Brahman.

ध्वजाहिमन्दैः सहितेज्ये शुक्रेक्षिते शूद्रोऽपि विद्वान् ।

dhvajāhimandaiḥ sahitejye śukrekṣite śūdro'pi vidvān |

Jupiter joined with Ketu (dhvaja), Rāhu (ahi) and Saturn, and aspected by Venus — even a śūdra is learned.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ध्वज ('banner') is Ketu and अहि ('serpent') is Rāhu. The concessive अपि is left standing: the sūtra says that even a śūdra becomes learned, and that is its claim, not a softened one.

सशुभराह्वर्कावंशे पापयुतौ विषवैद्यः।

saśubharāhvarkāvaṃśe pāpayutau viṣavaidyaḥ|

Rāhu and the Sun (arka), accompanied by a benefic and joined with a malefic, in the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa of the ātmakāraka⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ a physician for poison ⟨a healer of snakebite⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: MŪLA CORRECTED AND TRANSLATED 2026-09-08; until today this sūtra was held at state `ingested`, which meant scripts/translate/build-catalog.mjs dropped even its Sanskrit from the shipped catalog. The e-text printed सशुभराहकोवंशे, which is not Sanskrit and splits at no juncture. The 1941 plate sets सशुभराह्वर्कावंशे — sa-śubha + rāhu-arkau + aṃśe — and the corruption is the transcriber's ह्वर्का read as हको. The Sanskrit was corrected on the ink FIRST and only then checked against the facing English, per the rule that the mūla is never authored from a translation. The dual पापयुतौ that the earlier note correctly identified agrees with राह्वर्कौ, which is exactly the second member it said could not be found. अंशे used absolutely is this book's kārakāṃśa — the navāṃśa occupied by the ātmakāraka — as at F.75 ff.

विवीर्याः सर्वेऽनपत्यता।

vivīryāḥ sarve'napatyatā|

All ⟨the grahas⟩ bereft of strength — childlessness.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The subject of सर्वे is unexpressed; 'the grahas' is supplied from the run of sūtras around it. विवीर्य carries both 'devoid of strength' and 'devoid of seed/virility' — English must choose one and takes the first, while the Hindi वीर्यहीन holds both, which matters because the result stated is childlessness. This sūtra opens the run on childlessness that occupies 80–90.

सुते राहौ भौमदृष्टे सर्पशापाद्विपुत्रः ।

sute rāhau bhaumadṛṣṭe sarpaśāpādviputraḥ |

Rāhu in the 5th (suta), aspected by Mars — childless through the curse of serpents.

यमे सुते चन्द्रदृष्टे सुतेशे राहुयुते सर्पशापाद्विपुत्रः ।

yame sute candradṛṣṭe suteśe rāhuyute sarpaśāpādviputraḥ |

Saturn (yama) in the 5th, aspected by the Moon, and the lord of the 5th joined with Rāhu — childless through the curse of serpents.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: यम is Saturn.

सराहौ पुत्रकारके पुत्रेशेऽबले भौमांशेशौ युतौ सर्पशापाद्विपुत्रः।

sarāhau putrakārake putreśe'bale bhaumāṃśeśau yutau sarpaśāpādviputraḥ|

The significator of sons ⟨Jupiter⟩ with Rāhu, the lord of the 5th weak, and Mars and the lord of the aṃśa conjoined — childless through the curse of serpents.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printing has शौर्वशापात् where sūtras 80, 81, 83–87 all read सर्पशापात्; it is read as सर्प-/सार्प-शापात् on the strength of the run, and the anomalous form is recorded rather than silently normalised. भौमांशेशौ युतौ is dual — Mars and the aṃśa-lord are two grahas, not one compound. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads सर्पशापाद्विपुत्रः for शौर्वशापाद्विपुत्रः, corrected on the lexicon on 2026-09-20 on the run 7.80–7.87; शौर्व stays on record in this note and in that row's was.]

सुतकारकारयुतौ राह्वङ्गेशयुते पुत्रेशे त्रिके सर्पशापाद्विपुत्रः।

sutakārakārayutau rāhvaṅgeśayute putreśe trike sarpaśāpādviputraḥ|

The significator of sons and Mars (āra) conjoined, and the lord of the 5th — joined with Rāhu and the lord of the lagna — in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — childless through the curse of serpents.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सुतकारकार is सुतकारक + आर (Mars) run together in the OCR; the dual युतौ confirms two agents.

स्वांशे भौमे पुत्रेशे ज्ञे पापयुते सर्पशापाद्विपुत्रः।

svāṃśe bhaume putreśe jñe pāpayute sarpaśāpādviputraḥ|

Mars in its own aṃśa, and Mercury as lord of the 5th joined with a malefic — childless through the curse of serpents.

सुतेशे भौमे सुते राहौ सौम्यादृष्टे सर्पशापाद्विपुत्रः।

suteśe bhaume sute rāhau saumyādṛṣṭe sarpaśāpādviputraḥ|

Mars as lord of the 5th, Rāhu in the 5th, unaspected by a benefic — childless through the curse of serpents.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सौम्य here is the class of benefics, not Mercury (which would collide with भौम as the 5th lord); सौम्यादृष्टे is सौम्य + अदृष्टे, 'not aspected by a benefic'.

सुताङ्गेशौ विबलौ सुते पापाः सर्पशापाद्विपुत्रः ।

sutāṅgeśau vibalau sute pāpāḥ sarpaśāpādviputraḥ |

The lord of the 5th and the lord of the lagna both without strength, and malefics in the 5th — childless through the curse of serpents.

लग्नेशे राहुयुते पुत्रेशे भौमयुते सर्पशापाद्विपुत्रः।

lagneśe rāhuyute putreśe bhaumayute sarpaśāpādviputraḥ|

The lord of the lagna joined with Rāhu, and the lord of the 5th joined with Mars — childless through the curse of serpents.

पुत्रपेऽर्के क्रूरान्तरे त्रिकोणे पापदृष्टे पितृशापाद्विपुत्रः ।

putrape'rke krūrāntare trikoṇe pāpadṛṣṭe pitṛśāpādviputraḥ |

The Sun as lord of the 5th, hemmed between malefics, in a trikoṇa and aspected by a malefic — childless through the curse of the pitṛs.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: क्रूरान्तरे is the pāpa-kartari position, a graha with malefics on either side. पितृशाप is read as the curse of the ancestral dead (pitṛs), matching सर्पशाप as a class of inherited curse; 'a father's curse' is grammatically possible and is not excluded.

सुतेऽर्के पापान्तरे मन्दारौ नीचगौ पितृशापाद्विपुत्रः।

sute'rke pāpāntare mandārau nīcagau pitṛśāpādviputraḥ|

The Sun in the 5th, between malefics, and Saturn and Mars in debilitation — childless through the curse of the pitṛs.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नीवगौ is an OCR misreading of नीचगौ (व for च), 'the two standing in debilitation'; मन्दारौ is the dual मन्द + आर, Saturn and Mars. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads नीचगौ; this sentence names नीवगौ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सिंहेज्ये पुत्रेशेऽर्कयुते पुत्राङ्गगौ पापौ पितृशापाद्विपुत्रः।

siṃhejye putreśe'rkayute putrāṅgagau pāpau pitṛśāpādviputraḥ|

Jupiter in Siṃha, the lord of the 5th joined with the Sun, and two malefics standing in the 5th and in the lagna (aṅga) — childless through the curse of the pitṛs.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सिंहेज्ये is सिंहे + इज्ये, 'Jupiter in Siṃha' — the rāśi, not the siṃhāsana dignity of sūtras 61 and 66, which the text spells सिंहासने. पापौ is dual: exactly two malefics, one in each of the two houses named.

सूर्ये रन्ध्रे सुते मन्दे पुत्रेशे राहुयुते पितृशापाद्विपुत्रः ।

sūrye randhre sute mande putreśe rāhuyute pitṛśāpādviputraḥ |

The Sun in the 8th, Saturn in the 5th, and the lord of the 5th joined with Rāhu — ⟨the native is⟩ sonless through a father's curse.

व्ययपेऽङ्गे रन्ध्रपे पुत्रे खपे रन्ध्रे पितृशापाद्विपुत्रः।

vyayape'ṅge randhrape putre khape randhre pitṛśāpādviputraḥ|

The lord of the 12th in the lagna, the lord of the 8th in the 5th, the lord of the 10th in the 8th — sonless through a father's curse.

पुत्रपे चन्द्रे नीचगे वा पापान्तरे सुताम्बुगौ पापौ मातृशापाद्विपुत्रः ।

putrape candre nīcage vā pāpāntare sutāmbugau pāpau mātṛśāpādviputraḥ |

The lord of the 5th ⟨being⟩ with the Moon, or debilitated, and hemmed between malefics; two malefics placed in the 5th and the 4th — sonless through a mother's curse.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints नचिगे (nacige), which is not a form. Read as नीचगे (nīcage, 'debilitated') — the mātrās ी and ि have been transposed; no other reading fits the syntax. अम्बु (ambu, 'water') is the 4th house. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads नीचगे; this sentence names नचिगे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

अल्यङ्गे मन्दे तुर्ये पापाः पुत्रे चन्द्रे मातृशापाद्विपुत्रः।

alyaṅge mande turye pāpāḥ putre candre mātṛśāpādviputraḥ|

Scorpio rising, Saturn in the 4th, malefics in the 5th ⟨together with⟩ the Moon — sonless through a mother's curse.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अल्यङ्गे is resolved as अलि + अङ्गे — Scorpio (ali) as the lagna. चन्द्रे stands in the locative alongside पुत्रे with no connective, so the Moon is most naturally in the same 5th house as the malefics; it could alternatively be read as reckoning the malefics' 5th from the Moon (cf. sūtra 119, which says चन्द्रात् explicitly when that is meant).

सुतेशे त्रिके लग्नेशे नीचे पापयुते चन्द्रे मातृशापाद्विपुत्रः।

suteśe trike lagneśe nīce pāpayute candre mātṛśāpādviputraḥ|

The lord of the 5th in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩, the lord of the lagna debilitated, the Moon joined with a malefic — sonless through a mother's curse.

सुतेशे चन्द्रे मन्दराह्वारयुते मातृशापाद्विपुत्रः ।

suteśe candre mandarāhvārayute mātṛśāpādviputraḥ |

The lord of the 5th and the Moon joined with Saturn, Rāhu and Mars — sonless through a mother's curse.

सुखेशे भौमे राह्वर्कजयुते लग्ने पुष्पवन्तौ मातृशापाद्विपुत्रः।

sukheśe bhaume rāhvarkajayute lagne puṣpavantau mātṛśāpādviputraḥ|

Mars ⟨as⟩ lord of the 4th joined with Rāhu and Saturn (arkaja, 'son of the Sun'), and the Sun and Moon in the lagna — sonless through a mother's curse.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पुष्पवन्तौ (puṣpavantau, dual) is the standing epithet for the Sun and the Moon taken as a pair; it is not a third body. The Sun therefore appears twice in the sūtra's own terms — which places Mars, Rāhu and the Sun in the lagna together with the Moon.

सुखेशेऽष्टमे पुत्राङ्गेशौ षष्ठे खारीशौ लग्ने मातृशापाद्विपुत्रः।

sukheśe'ṣṭame putrāṅgeśau ṣaṣṭhe khārīśau lagne mātṛśāpādviputraḥ|

The lord of the 4th in the 8th, the lords of the 5th and of the lagna in the 6th, the lords of the 10th and of the 6th in the lagna — sonless through a mother's curse.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: स्वारीशौ = स्व + अरि + ईशौ, the lords of the 2nd (sva, 'one's own/property') and the 6th (ari), on the same compounding pattern as पुत्राङ्गेशौ earlier in the sūtra. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads खारीशौ; this sentence names स्वारीशौ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

पुत्राङ्गाष्टारिगा राह्वर्कारमन्दा लग्नेशे त्रिके मातृशापाद्विपुत्रः।

putrāṅgāṣṭārigā rāhvarkāramandā lagneśe trike mātṛśāpādviputraḥ|

Rāhu, the Sun, Mars and Saturn placed in the 5th, the 1st, the 8th and the 6th ⟨respectively⟩, the lord of the lagna in a trika — sonless through a mother's curse.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Four houses (पुत्र-अङ्ग-अष्ट-अरि) answer to four grahas (राहु-अर्क-आर-मन्द) in order, by yathāsaṃkhya; the sūtra supplies no other connective.

राह्वारेज्यास्त्रिकस्था मन्दचन्द्रौ पुत्रे मातृशापाद्विपुत्रः।

rāhvārejyāstrikasthā mandacandrau putre mātṛśāpādviputraḥ|

Rāhu, Mars and Jupiter standing in the trikas ⟨the 6th, 8th and 12th⟩, Saturn and the Moon in the 5th — sonless through a mother's curse.

सूर्येऽङ्गे सुते भौमे सुतहीनः ।

sūrye'ṅge sute bhaume sutahīnaḥ |

The Sun in the lagna, Mars in the 5th — he is without sons.

जीवात्सुतेशे त्रिके पुत्राङ्काङ्गेशा लग्नात् त्रिकस्थाः सुतहीनः।

jīvātsuteśe trike putrāṅkāṅgeśā lagnāt trikasthāḥ sutahīnaḥ|

The lord of the 5th from Jupiter in a trika, and the lords of the 5th, the 9th and the lagna standing in the trikas from the lagna — without sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्क (aṅka) in पुत्राङ्काङ्गेशा is taken as the number-word for 9 (the nine digits), giving the trikoṇa-and-lagna set 5, 9, 1 — the reading the surrounding sūtras' house-vocabulary supports. No house is named aṅka anywhere else in this viveka, so the identification is inferred, not attested here.

जीवे पञ्चमे जीवात्सुते क्रूरे सुतहीनः ।

jīve pañcame jīvātsute krūre sutahīnaḥ |

Jupiter in the 5th and a malefic in the 5th from Jupiter — without sons.

लग्नेऽर्केऽस्ते मन्दे वा द्यूनेऽर्कशनी खे जीवदृष्टे गर्भानुत्पादः।

lagne'rke'ste mande vā dyūne'rkaśanī khe jīvadṛṣṭe garbhānutpādaḥ|

The Sun in the lagna, or Saturn in the 7th; the Sun and Saturn in the 7th, ⟨or⟩ in the 10th aspected by Jupiter — no conception takes place.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अस्त and द्यून both name the 7th house and both occur here; the sūtra is a list of alternative configurations rather than one continuous condition. जीवदृष्टे is locative singular agreeing with खे, so the Jupiter-aspect attaches to the 10th-house clause.

मन्दारौ षष्ठे वा तुर्ये गर्भानुत्पादः ।

mandārau ṣaṣṭhe vā turye garbhānutpādaḥ |

Saturn and Mars in the 6th, or in the 4th — no conception takes place.

सारीशोऽर्कजः षष्ठे चन्द्रे चास्ते गर्भानुत्पादः ।

sārīśo'rkajaḥ ṣaṣṭhe candre cāste garbhānutpādaḥ |

Saturn together with the lord of the 6th in the 6th, and the Moon in the 7th — no conception takes place.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सारीशः is read as स + अरि + ईशः, 'together with the lord of the 6th'. It cannot be स्वारीशः on the pattern of sūtra 98: no lagna makes Saturn lord of both the 2nd and the 6th.

पापान्तरे सुतभे वा तदीशे वा कारके पापसंयुते पुत्रनाशः।

pāpāntare sutabhe vā tadīśe vā kārake pāpasaṃyute putranāśaḥ|

The 5th house, or its lord, or the kāraka ⟨Jupiter⟩, hemmed between malefics and joined with malefics — destruction of sons.

स्त्रीधर्मपुत्रेशांशपाः पापांशगाः पापयुताः पुत्रनाशः ।

strīdharmaputreśāṃśapāḥ pāpāṃśagāḥ pāpayutāḥ putranāśaḥ |

The aṃśa-lords of the lords of the 7th, the 9th and the 5th standing in malefic aṃśas and joined with malefics — destruction of sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: स्त्री (the wife) here names the 7th house and धर्म the 9th, as elsewhere in this text.

पुत्रेशे क्रूरांशे नीचास्तभे पापदृष्टे पुत्रनाशः।

putreśe krūrāṃśe nīcāstabhe pāpadṛṣṭe putranāśaḥ|

The lord of the 5th in a malefic aṃśa, in the sign of its debilitation or in the setting sign ⟨the 7th⟩, aspected by malefics — destruction of sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नीचास्तभे = नीच-अस्त-भे. अस्त-भ is the setting sign, i.e. the 7th, on this text's own usage (cf. sūtras 104, 106); it is not being used here in the sense of combustion.

व्ययेशांशेशस्य त्र्यंशेशेन युते वा दृष्टे सुतेशे पुत्रनाशः ।

vyayeśāṃśeśasya tryaṃśeśena yute vā dṛṣṭe suteśe putranāśaḥ |

The lord of the 5th joined with, or aspected by, the tryaṃśa-lord of the aṃśa-lord of the lord of the 12th — destruction of sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: त्र्यंश (tryaṃśa), the third part of a sign, is the drekkāṇa. The chain runs three divisions deep: lord of the 12th → its navāṃśa-lord → that graha's drekkāṇa-lord.

क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे पुत्रपे पापदृष्टयुते पुत्रार्तिः ।

krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe putrape pāpadṛṣṭayute putrārtiḥ |

The lord of the 5th in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, aspected by and joined with malefics — affliction to the sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पुत्रार्तिः is affliction of the sons, not their loss — the sūtra deliberately steps down from पुत्रनाशः in 107–110.

ज्ञाङ्गपौ लग्नेतरकेन्द्रगौ वंशविच्छेदः।

jñāṅgapau lagnetarakendragau vaṃśavicchedaḥ|

Mercury and the lord of the lagna gone to a kendra other than the lagna — the family line is cut off.

पापग्रहा व्ययसुताष्टमगा वंशविच्छेदः।

pāpagrahā vyayasutāṣṭamagā vaṃśavicchedaḥ|

Malefic grahas placed in the 12th, the 5th and the 8th — the family line is cut off.

चन्द्रेज्यौ लग्ने द्यूने मन्दे वा भौमे वंशविच्छेदः।

candrejyau lagne dyūne mande vā bhaume vaṃśavicchedaḥ|

The Moon and Jupiter in the lagna, Saturn or Mars in the 7th — the family line is cut off.

सुखे पापा वंशविच्छेदः ।

sukhe pāpā vaṃśavicchedaḥ |

Malefics in the 4th — the family line is cut off.

लग्नान्त्यसुताष्टमगैः पापैर्वंशविच्छेदः ।

lagnāntyasutāṣṭamagaiḥ pāpairvaṃśavicchedaḥ |

By malefics placed in the lagna, the 12th, the 5th and the 8th — the family line is cut off.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अन्त्य ('the last') is the 12th house.

सुते चन्द्रे पापा रन्ध्राङ्गान्त्यगा वंशविच्छेदः ।

sute candre pāpā randhrāṅgāntyagā vaṃśavicchedaḥ |

The Moon in the 5th, malefics placed in the 8th, the 1st and the 12th — the family line is cut off.

ज्ञाच्छौ मदेऽन्त्ये वा सुखे पापे सुते जीवे वंशविच्छेदः।

jñācchau made'ntye vā sukhe pāpe sute jīve vaṃśavicchedaḥ|

Mercury and Venus in the 7th or the 12th, a malefic in the 4th, Jupiter in the 5th — the family line is cut off.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अच्छ ('clear, bright') is taken as Venus, the counterpart of सित ('the white one'); the pairing of Mercury with Venus is what the dual ज्ञाच्छौ requires. The epithet is unusual and the identification is inferred from sense, not from a second attestation in this text.

चन्द्रादष्टमे पापा वंशविच्छेदः।

candrādaṣṭame pāpā vaṃśavicchedaḥ|

Malefics in the 8th from the Moon — the family line is cut off.

पापेऽङ्गे सुखे चन्द्रे सुतेऽङ्गेशे सुतपेऽल्पबले वंशविच्छेदः।

pāpe'ṅge sukhe candre sute'ṅgeśe sutape'lpabale vaṃśavicchedaḥ|

A malefic in the lagna, the Moon in the 4th, the lord of the lagna in the 5th, and the lord of the 5th of little strength — the family line is cut off.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints सुख without its locative ending (सुखे); read as सुखे चन्द्रे, 'the Moon in the 4th'. The sense is not in doubt — no other case of सुख fits the string of locatives around it. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads सुखे for सुख, corrected on the lexicon on 2026-09-20; the locative this note reads through to now stands in the text.]

पञ्चमे पापा वंशविच्छेदः।

pañcame pāpā vaṃśavicchedaḥ|

Malefics in the 5th — the cutting off of the lineage (vaṃśaviccheda).

शुक्रे स्मरे खे चन्द्रे सुखे पापा वंशविच्छेदः ।

śukre smare khe candre sukhe pāpā vaṃśavicchedaḥ |

Venus in the 7th (smara), the Moon in the 10th (kha), malefics in the 4th (sukha) — the cutting off of the lineage.

भौमेऽङ्गे मन्दे रन्ध्रे सुतेऽर्के वंशविच्छेदः।

bhaume'ṅge mande randhre sute'rke vaṃśavicchedaḥ|

Mars in the 1st (aṅga), Saturn in the 8th (randhra), the Sun in the 5th — the cutting off of the lineage.

सोत्थेशचन्द्रौ केन्द्रकोणगौ पुत्रसुखं न ।

sottheśacandrau kendrakoṇagau putrasukhaṃ na |

The lord of the 3rd (sottheśa) and the Moon placed in a kendra and a trikoṇa — no happiness from sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08. सोत्थेश is the lord of the THIRD house. The earlier note declared 'the printed सोत्थेश is not a Sanskrit form', supplied ⟨5th⟩ from the chapter's subject and shipped it — so this sūtra was giving a reader the wrong house inside a claim about children. 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.

दाराङ्गे पुत्रपे बलिनि षष्ठेशयुतदृष्टेऽ पुत्रः।

dārāṅge putrape balini ṣaṣṭheśayutadṛṣṭe' putraḥ|

The lord of the 5th (putrapa) strong in the 7th (dāra) or the 1st (aṅga), ⟨yet⟩ joined with or aspected by the lord of the 6th — sonless.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: दाराङ्गे is a dvandva locative of dāra (7th) and aṅga (1st) — the placement is in either, so 'or' is the sense, not 'and'. The file prints 'दृष्टेऽ पुत्रः' with a stray space; the reading is dṛṣṭe + aputraḥ.

धीधर्मपौ सदारेशौ दुःस्थानगौ हीनबलौ शुभादृष्टे सुते बहुदारोऽप्यपुत्रः।

dhīdharmapau sadāreśau duḥsthānagau hīnabalau śubhādṛṣṭe sute bahudāro'pyaputraḥ|

The lords of the 5th (dhī) and the 9th (dharma) together with the lord of the 7th, gone to duḥsthānas and devoid of strength, and the 5th unaspected by benefics — though he have many wives, he is sonless.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The file prints बहुहारो (bahu-hāro, 'having many necklaces', i.e. wealthy); the sense of the sūtra, and the दारेश in the same line, point to बहुदारो ('having many wives'), a द/ह scanner slip. The rendering takes दार and marks 'wives' as supplied; the plates settle it. duḥsthāna = the 6th, 8th and 12th. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads बहुदारोऽप्यपुत्रः; this sentence names बहुहारो and hāro, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected them, and they are kept as history.] [2026-09-23: the plates were opened. The 1941 Sastri plate our text transcribes (jt-sastri-english PDF p.180, printed folio 172, sūtra १२६) was read by eye at about 2.0x to 4.6x native. It sets a sort with the body of ह, and that sort lacks the heavy tail every द on the page drops below the line. So the e-text's बहुहारो follows the press and was not a scanner slip. The scan is bilevel and the sort's foot is only flecks, so a द whose tail failed to print is not ruled out. The 1915 Śrīnivāsa plate (jt-srinivasa-1915 PDF p.190, sūtra ११२), read by eye at about 1.9x and 3.8x native, sets बहुदारोप्यपुत्रः with a plain द. The mūla now reads बहुदारो, on that plate, on the sūtra's own सदारेशौ, and on the 1941 editor's English as the store's machine read gives it ('though with many wives'). The renderings no longer mark 'wives' as supplied.]

मन्दारौ खे धर्मे वाऽ पुत्रता ।

mandārau khe dharme vā' putratā |

Saturn and Mars (mandārau) in the 10th (kha) or the 9th (dharma) — sonlessness.

मन्दारशुक्रा दारगा अपुत्रता।

mandāraśukrā dāragā aputratā|

Saturn, Mars and Venus gone to the 7th (dāra) — sonlessness.

राह्वर्काराः सुतगाः शान्तितः सुखसौख्यदाः।

rāhvarkārāḥ sutagāḥ śāntitaḥ sukhasaukhyadāḥ|

Rāhu, the Sun and Mars occupying the 5th give happiness and well-being ⟨only⟩ through propitiation (śānti).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed सुखसौख्यदाः doubles two words for happiness; the neighbouring sūtras (130–132) all read सुतसौख्य ('the happiness of sons'), so सुतसौख्यदाः is a live alternative reading. Rendered as printed. शान्तितः is taken adverbially: the good result follows only upon propitiatory rites.

सिंहेऽर्कजारौ सुतगौ सुतेशे षष्ठे सुतसौख्यं न ।

siṃhe'rkajārau sutagau suteśe ṣaṣṭhe sutasaukhyaṃ na |

Saturn (arkaja) and Mars in Leo standing in the 5th, and the lord of the 5th in the 6th — no happiness from sons.

भौमर्क्षे सुते राहौ भौमदृष्टे सुतसौख्यं न ।

bhaumarkṣe sute rāhau bhaumadṛṣṭe sutasaukhyaṃ na |

Rāhu in the 5th ⟨when it falls⟩ in a sign of Mars, and aspected by Mars — no happiness from sons.

नीचे गुरौ भृगौ वा समे ज्ञे विषमेऽर्के सुतसौख्यं न ।

nīce gurau bhṛgau vā same jñe viṣame'rke sutasaukhyaṃ na |

Jupiter or Venus debilitated, Mercury in an even ⟨sign⟩, the Sun in an odd ⟨sign⟩ — no happiness from sons.

सुते पापयुतदृष्टे गर्भच्युतिः ।

sute pāpayutadṛṣṭe garbhacyutiḥ |

The 5th joined with or aspected by malefics — falling of the foetus (miscarriage).

पुत्रेऽर्के प्रकाशे जातं जातं म्रियते।

putre'rke prakāśe jātaṃ jātaṃ mriyate|

The Sun in the 5th, in a bright ⟨sign⟩ — child after child is born and dies.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: प्रकाशे is unsettled. It is good Sanskrit ('in the bright/open'), but its technical referent here is not fixed: either a sign classed as प्रकाश ('luminous'), or an adverbial 'manifestly/openly'. The rendering keeps 'bright' and marks the supplied noun; the operative clause (जातं जातं म्रियते) is not in doubt. The doubled जातं is distributive — every child, one after another.

पापाः पञ्चमे जातं जातं म्रियते ।

pāpāḥ pañcame jātaṃ jātaṃ mriyate |

Malefics in the 5th — child after child is born and dies.

धीस्थे मन्दे पुत्रसुखं न ।

dhīsthe mande putrasukhaṃ na |

Saturn placed in the 5th (dhī) — no happiness from sons.

सुते सूर्ये मृतापत्यः ।

sute sūrye mṛtāpatyaḥ |

The Sun in the 5th — his offspring are dead.

अन्त्याङ्गार्थसुते सहजपे सुतसुखं न ।

antyāṅgārthasute sahajape sutasukhaṃ na |

The lord of the 3rd (sahaja) in the 12th, the 1st, the 2nd or the 5th — no happiness from sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अन्त्याङ्गार्थसुते is a dvandva locative naming four alternative houses: antya (12th), aṅga (1st), artha (2nd), suta (5th).

पञ्चमे जीवर्क्षे सुतसुखं न ।

pañcame jīvarkṣe sutasukhaṃ na |

The 5th being a sign of Jupiter — no happiness from sons.

मन्दज्ञावङ्गेऽलौ शुक्रेज्यौ सुतसुखं न ।

mandajñāvaṅge'lau śukrejyau sutasukhaṃ na |

Saturn and Mercury in the 1st (aṅga), Venus and Jupiter in Scorpio (ali) — no happiness from sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अलौ is the locative of अलि, 'the scorpion' = Scorpio; the sandhi in the file is अङ्गे + अलौ → अङ्गेऽलौ.

शत्रुभे लग्नपे ज्ञेन्दुदृष्टे षष्ठार्थे सूर्ये विपुत्रः ।

śatrubhe lagnape jñendudṛṣṭe ṣaṣṭhārthe sūrye viputraḥ |

The lord of the ascendant in an inimical sign, aspected by Mercury and the Moon, and the Sun in the 6th or the 2nd — sonless.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: लमपे is not a Sanskrit form; read लग्नपे (lord of the lagna) — the conjunct ग्न misread as म. शत्रुभे is taken as 'in an inimical sign' (bha = rāśi) rather than 'in the 6th', because the 6th is separately named as षष्ठ in the same sūtra. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads लग्नपे; this sentence names लमपे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सुतेशेऽस्तांशे पापयुते विपुत्रः ।

suteśe'stāṃśe pāpayute viputraḥ |

The lord of the 5th in the aṃśa of the 7th (asta), joined with a malefic — sonless.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अस्तांशे is read asta-aṃśa, 'the division (aṃśa) of the setting place, the 7th'. A reading 'in the aṃśa of the 7th LORD' is possible on the same letters; the plates settle it.

गुरौ सुतेशे सपापेऽबले विपुत्रः ।

gurau suteśe sapāpe'bale viputraḥ |

Jupiter (guru) being the lord of the 5th, joined with a malefic and devoid of strength — sonless.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: GRAHA SETTLED 2026-09-08; the akṣaras are not. The earlier note read: "The first word गुगै (gugai) is a scanner corruption — no such Sanskrit form exists, and no reading is safe enough to print. It is most likely गुरौ (Jupiter, locative) or गुरुगे ('in Jupiter's sign')." The 1941 edition's facing English at dli2015-32366_djvu.txt L9058-9060 settles WHICH graha: it names Jupiter, and it construes him as OWNING the 5th house, weak, and joined with a malefic. Owning the 5th makes गुरौ सुतेशे one locative absolute, which chooses गुरौ over the note's other candidate गुरुगे. The mūla is left uncorrected on purpose: the 1914's section G reorders the sonless block and could not be aligned to this sūtra in its OCR, and no 1941 plate has been rendered for printed page 175. The reading गुरौ awaits ink. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads गुरौ; this sentence names गुगै, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सपापेऽङ्गेशे त्रिके सुतेशे विपुत्रः ।

sapāpe'ṅgeśe trike suteśe viputraḥ |

The lord of the 1st (aṅgeśa) with a malefic, and the lord of the 5th in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — sonless.

कोणे गुरौ पापयुते विपुत्रः।

koṇe gurau pāpayute viputraḥ|

Jupiter in a trikoṇa joined with a malefic — sonless.

लग्नेशे कुजर्क्षे षष्ठे पुत्रेशे विपुत्रः।

lagneśe kujarkṣe ṣaṣṭhe putreśe viputraḥ|

The lord of the ascendant in a sign of Mars (kuja), the lord of the 5th in the 6th — sonless.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The file prints पुत्रशे for पुत्रेशे (a dropped ए-mātrā); the sense, the lord of the 5th, is not in doubt. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पुत्रेशे; this sentence names पुत्रशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मन्दारिगेहे ज्ञेन्दुसूर्यदृष्टे लग्ने पापदृष्टे कुलदेवदोषाद्विपुत्रः।

mandārigehe jñendusūryadṛṣṭe lagne pāpadṛṣṭe kuladevadoṣādviputraḥ|

⟨The 5th⟩ in the house of Saturn's enemy, aspected by Mercury, the Moon and the Sun, and the ascendant aspected by malefics — sonless through the fault ⟨incurred against⟩ the family deity (kuladeva).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two things are unsettled here. (1) मन्दारिगेहे: read manda-ari-geha, 'the house of Saturn's enemy', as rendered; but मन्दार is this text's own dvandva for Saturn-and-Mars (sūtras 127, 128), so 'in the house of Saturn or Mars' is a live alternative on one mātrā. (2) The first locative clause has no stated subject — the section's subject, the 5th, is supplied in ⟨…⟩; the sūtra could equally be putting the ascendant there, with पापदृष्टे then a second condition on it.

मन्दर्क्षे सूर्ये पापदृष्टे वा पापवर्गेऽङ्गे कुलदेवदोषाद्विपुत्रः।

mandarkṣe sūrye pāpadṛṣṭe vā pāpavarge'ṅge kuladevadoṣādviputraḥ|

The Sun in Saturn's sign and aspected by malefics, or the ascendant (aṅga) in a malefic's varga — sonless through the fault ⟨incurred against⟩ the family deity.

व्ययेशे खाद्ये विपुत्रः।

vyayeśe khādye viputraḥ|

The lord of the 12th (vyaya) in the 10th (kha) or in the first — sonless.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: स्वाद्ये is compressed and its resolution is not certain: read sva-ādya, 'own ⟨sign⟩ and/or the first house', taken here as alternatives. A single-referent reading ('in the first ⟨division⟩ of its own sign') is grammatically open on the same letters. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads खाद्ये; this sentence names स्वाद्ये, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-23: the plate settles the question above. The 1941 Sastri plate our text transcribes (jt-sastri-english PDF p.183, printed folio 175, sūtra १४९) was read by eye at about 2.2x native, beside ख and स्व of the same fount. It sets खाद्ये, not स्वाद्ये. The glyph is two pieces below the headline, as each ख measured on these leaves is; each स्व measured is one piece. ख is this book's name for the 10th house, as at 7.127 मन्दारौ खे धर्मे, so the sūtra names the 10th and the 1st, as the same leaf's English does ('in the 10th or the 1st').]

कन्याङ्गे सूर्ये भौमे सुते विपुत्रः।

kanyāṅge sūrye bhaume sute viputraḥ|

Virgo the ascendant (aṅga), the Sun and Mars in the 5th — sonless.

कोणगाः पापाः क्षीणेन्द्वङ्गे मन्दर्क्षे जीवे मूढे पुत्रसुखं भूत्वा नश्यति ।

koṇagāḥ pāpāḥ kṣīṇendvaṅge mandarkṣe jīve mūḍhe putrasukhaṃ bhūtvā naśyati |

Malefics in the trikoṇas, the waning Moon in the lagna, and Jupiter combust in a sign of Saturn — the happiness of sons, having come to be, is destroyed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅga = the lagna throughout this viveka (cf. 166 dhaneśe'ṅge, 162 putrāṅgapau). mūḍha = combust (mauḍhya), not 'deluded'. mandarkṣa = a sign of Saturn.

ज्ञे पञ्चमे लग्ने सुखे पापे पुत्रसुखं भूत्वा नश्यति ।

jñe pañcame lagne sukhe pāpe putrasukhaṃ bhūtvā naśyati |

Mercury in the 5th, ⟨and⟩ a malefic in the lagna and in the 4th — the happiness of sons, having come to be, is destroyed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sukha = the 4th house. pāpe is singular against two locatives, so the sūtra may equally be read 'a malefic in the lagna or in the 4th'; the Hindi keeps that latitude.

सशुभा अङ्गाङ्कसुतेशास्त्रिकस्था विलम्बतः प्रजा ।

saśubhā aṅgāṅkasuteśāstrikasthā vilambataḥ prajā |

The lords of the lagna, the 9th and the 5th, though accompanied by benefics, standing in the trika houses ⟨the 6th, 8th and 12th⟩ — offspring comes late.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅka is taken as the number-word for nine (the digits being nine), which yields the trikoṇa lords 1, 9 and 5 — the same triad this viveka names again at 171 (dharma, ādya, suta). The reading is an inference from the parallel, not from a gloss in this exemplar. trikastha = placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th.

कर्के चन्द्रे सुते कन्यावान् वाऽल्पापत्यः ।

karke candre sute kanyāvān vā'lpāpatyaḥ |

The Moon in Cancer in the 5th — ⟨the native⟩ has daughters, or few children.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Cancer standing as the 5th house entails a Pisces lagna. alpāpatya is 'of few offspring', not 'childless'.

सुते गोजकर्के राहुकेतू सन्तानोत्पत्तौ नो विलम्बः ।

sute gojakarke rāhuketū santānotpattau no vilambaḥ |

Rāhu and Ketu in the 5th, ⟨that house being⟩ Taurus, Aries or Cancer — there is no delay in the birth of offspring.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: go = Taurus, (a)ja = Aries, karka = Cancer; गोजकर्के is go'ja-karka, the avagraha unwritten in this printing.

सप्तमेशांशेशे लग्नार्थधर्मेशैर्दृष्टे पुत्राप्तिः।

saptameśāṃśeśe lagnārthadharmeśairdṛṣṭe putrāptiḥ|

When the navāṃśa lord of the lord of the 7th is aspected by the lords of the lagna, the 2nd and the 9th, sons are obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṃśa unqualified is the navāṃśa here and in 160, 165, 169, 170. artha = the 2nd house, dharma = the 9th.

सुतेशे शुभयुतदृष्टे वा सुतेऽङ्गे पुत्राप्तिः ।

suteśe śubhayutadṛṣṭe vā sute'ṅge putrāptiḥ |

When the lord of the 5th is joined with or aspected by benefics, or is placed in the 5th or in the lagna, sons are obtained.

लग्नेशे पुत्रे पुत्रेशेज्यौ बलिनौ पुत्राप्तिः ।

lagneśe putre putreśejyau balinau putrāptiḥ |

When the lord of the lagna is in the 5th, and the lord of the 5th and Jupiter are strong, sons are obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ijya = Jupiter; balinau is dual, so both the 5th lord and Jupiter are required to be strong.

पुत्रेज्ये बलिनि लग्नेशदृष्टे पुत्राप्तिः।

putrejye balini lagneśadṛṣṭe putrāptiḥ|

When Jupiter, ⟨the significator⟩ of sons, is strong and aspected by the lord of the lagna, sons are obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: putrejye is the compound putra-ijya, 'the Jupiter of sons' (Jupiter as kāraka of progeny): putre + ijye would have to appear as putrayijye, so 'Jupiter in the 5th' is not available here. balini and lagneśadṛṣṭe are singular, confirming one graha, against the dual of 158.

वैशेषिकांशे जीवे तथा पुत्रेशे च शुभदृष्टे पुत्राप्तिः ।

vaiśeṣikāṃśe jīve tathā putreśe ca śubhadṛṣṭe putrāptiḥ |

Jupiter in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, and likewise the lord of the 5th, and ⟨both⟩ aspected by benefics — sons are obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vaiśeṣikāṃśa = the graded varga-dignity a graha earns by occupying its own vargas (pārijāta, uttama, gopura, siṃhāsana, pārāvata and upward); the same scheme is named at 167, 168 and 171.

वित्तेशे सुते बलाढ्ये गुरुदृष्टे पुत्राप्तिः ।

vitteśe sute balāḍhye gurudṛṣṭe putrāptiḥ |

When the lord of the 2nd is in the 5th, full of strength and aspected by Jupiter, sons are obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vitta = the 2nd house.

पुत्राङ्गपौ परस्परं पश्यतः पुत्राप्तिः ।

putrāṅgapau parasparaṃ paśyataḥ putrāptiḥ |

When the lords of the 5th and the lagna aspect each other, sons are obtained.

पुत्राङ्गपावन्योन्यभगौ वा युतौ पुत्राप्तिः ।

putrāṅgapāvanyonyabhagau vā yutau putrāptiḥ |

When the lords of the 5th and the lagna are in each other's signs, or are joined together, sons are obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: anyonya-bhaga: bha is sign or house indifferently in this text; the exchange (parivartana) is what is meant.

सुताङ्गेशौ केन्द्रगौ शुभान्वितौ धनपे बलिनि पुत्राप्तिः।

sutāṅgeśau kendragau śubhānvitau dhanape balini putrāptiḥ|

When the lords of the 5th and the lagna are in kendras and attended by benefics, and the lord of the 2nd is strong, sons are obtained.

पुत्रेशांशेशे शुभयुतदृष्टे पुत्राप्तिः ।

putreśāṃśeśe śubhayutadṛṣṭe putrāptiḥ |

When the navāṃśa lord of the lord of the 5th is joined with or aspected by benefics, sons are obtained.

धर्माङ्गेशौ सप्तमे धनेशेऽङ्गे पुत्राप्तिः ।

dharmāṅgeśau saptame dhaneśe'ṅge putrāptiḥ |

When the lords of the 9th and the lagna are in the 7th, and the lord of the 2nd is in the lagna, sons are obtained.

सुतेशे मृद्वंशादिगे पुत्राप्तिः।

suteśe mṛdvaṃśādige putrāptiḥ|

When the lord of the 5th occupies a mṛdvaṃśa or a grade above it, sons are obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mṛdvaṃśa answers to no name in the received vaiśeṣikāṃśa lists (pārijāta, uttama, gopura, siṃhāsana, pārāvata, devaloka, brahmaloka, śakravāhana, śrīdhāma), and this printing's OCR errs at the akṣara level, so the grade NAMED here is uncertain. The construction X-ādi-ga ('placed in X or above') is the same as at 168 and 171, so the sense — the 5th lord holding a varga-dignity or better — is secure while the grade is not. Settle it on the plates.

गोपुरादौ सुतेशे पुत्राप्तिः।

gopurādau suteśe putrāptiḥ|

When the lord of the 5th is in gopura or a grade above it, sons are obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: gopurāṃśa is one of the graded varga-dignities counted upward from pārijāta; gopurādi means gopura or any grade above it.

पुत्रेशांशेशेऽङ्गे लग्नेशांशेशे सुते पुत्राप्तिः ।

putreśāṃśeśe'ṅge lagneśāṃśeśe sute putrāptiḥ |

When the navāṃśa lord of the lord of the 5th is in the lagna and the navāṃśa lord of the lord of the lagna is in the 5th, sons are obtained.

जीवांशेशे केन्द्रे पुत्राप्तिः ।

jīvāṃśeśe kendre putrāptiḥ |

When the navāṃśa lord of Jupiter is in a kendra, sons are obtained.

धर्माद्यसुतेशाः पारावतादिगाः शुभदृष्टाः पुत्राप्तिः ।

dharmādyasuteśāḥ pārāvatādigāḥ śubhadṛṣṭāḥ putrāptiḥ |

When the lords of the 9th, the 1st and the 5th occupy pārāvata or a grade above it and are aspected by benefics, sons are obtained.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dharmādya-suteśāḥ read as the lords of the 9th, of the first house (ādya = the lagna) and of the 5th — the trikoṇa lords, the triad already met at 153.

खभे सौम्याः सुते पापाः सुतसुखं विलम्बात् ।

khabhe saumyāḥ sute pāpāḥ sutasukhaṃ vilambāt |

Benefics in the 10th and malefics in the 5th — the happiness of sons ⟨comes⟩ only after delay.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: khabha = the 10th house (kha, the sky). saumya is the benefic class here, not Mercury, since the malefics stand opposite it in the same sūtra.

सुतेशे नीचे धर्मेशेऽङ्गे ज्ञकेतू पुत्रे कष्टात्पुत्राप्तिः।

suteśe nīce dharmeśe'ṅge jñaketū putre kaṣṭātputrāptiḥ|

When the lord of the 5th is debilitated, the lord of the 9th is in the lagna, and Mercury and Ketu are in the 5th, sons are obtained through hardship.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: jña = Mercury.

पापो जीवो वा तुर्ये सुते षष्ठे चन्द्रे त्रिंशद्वर्षोर्ध्वं सन्ततिः ।

pāpo jīvo vā turye sute ṣaṣṭhe candre triṃśadvarṣordhvaṃ santatiḥ |

A malefic, or Jupiter, in the 4th, and the Moon in the 5th ⟨or⟩ the 6th — offspring after the thirtieth year.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: turya = the 4th house. 'sute ṣaṣṭhe candre' sets two locatives on one Moon; rendered as the 5th or the 6th. The competing reading — suta-ṣaṣṭha, the 6th from the 5th, i.e. the 10th — is not excluded by this single exemplar. triṃśat is thirty exactly, and ūrdhvam is 'above', not 'about'.

पापर्क्षे पापयुते लग्ने सूर्येऽबले युग्मर्क्षे कुजे त्रिंशद्वर्षोर्ध्वं सन्ततिः।

pāparkṣe pāpayute lagne sūrye'bale yugmarkṣe kuje triṃśadvarṣordhvaṃ santatiḥ|

The lagna in a malefic's sign and joined by a malefic, the Sun weak, and Mars in an even sign — offspring after the thirtieth year.

  • About this edition: The printing reads लगे for लग्ने and breaks त्रिंशद्वर्षोर्ध्वं into 'त्रिंशद्व बर्ध्वं' — OCR damage at the akṣara level, not variant readings; the numeral thirty survives intact in the first half of the broken word. yugmarkṣa is taken as an even sign (yugma against oja); it can also name Gemini, and this exemplar does not settle which. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads त्रिंशद्वर्षोर्ध्वं and लग्ने; this sentence names बर्ध्वं and लगे, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

कर्के चन्द्रे पापयुतदृष्टे च मन्ददृष्टे सूर्ये षष्टितमेऽब्दे पुत्राप्तिः।

karke candre pāpayutadṛṣṭe ca mandadṛṣṭe sūrye ṣaṣṭitame'bde putrāptiḥ|

The Moon in Cancer joined with and aspected by malefics, and the Sun aspected by Saturn — a son is obtained in the sixtieth year.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printing reads पष्टितमे for षष्टितमे (ṣaṣṭitama, 'sixtieth'); the ordinal is otherwise unambiguous and is rendered as sixty, not sixteen. manda = Saturn. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्टितमेऽब्दे; this sentence names पष्टितमे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

अर्थाङ्गे लग्नपे प्रथमः सुतः ।

arthāṅge lagnape prathamaḥ sutaḥ |

When the lord of the lagna is in the 2nd, the first child is a son.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: arthāṅga is read as 'the house (aṅga) of wealth', the 2nd; the printing has no avagraha, so 'arthe aṅge' (the 2nd and the lagna) is not available. Either way the lagna lord stands in the 2nd.

द्विस्वभावगाश्चन्द्रारशुक्राः प्रथमः सुतः।

dvisvabhāvagāścandrāraśukrāḥ prathamaḥ sutaḥ|

The Moon, Mars and Venus in dual signs — the first child is a son.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dvisvabhāva = the dual (two-bodied) signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces. āra = Mars.

लाभे पापे पञ्चमे चन्द्राच्छौ प्रथमा कन्या ।

lābhe pāpe pañcame candrācchau prathamā kanyā |

A malefic in the 11th (lābha), and the Moon and Venus (accha) in the 5th — the first child is a daughter.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08. चन्द्राच्छो is candra + accha, the Moon and Venus, standing in the 5th. The earlier note emended it to चन्द्राच्च ('and from the Moon') and turned a placement into a reckoning, which changed what the sūtra is about. 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. And the reason the child is a daughter follows from A.37, which makes the Moon and Venus the FEMALE grahas — the yoga is internally coherent only on the corrected reading. 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'. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads चन्द्राच्छौ; this sentence names चन्द्राच्छो, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

पुत्रे यावत्पुङ्ग्रहदृष्टिस्तावत्पुत्राः ।

putre yāvatpuṅgrahadṛṣṭistāvatputrāḥ |

However many aspects of male grahas fall on the 5th, that many sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: puṃgraha = the male grahas, conventionally the Sun, Mars and Jupiter. The sūtra counts aspects, not grahas: two aspects from one graha would still be two on this wording.

पुत्रे स्त्रीग्रहदृक्तुल्या कन्या ।

putre strīgrahadṛktulyā kanyā |

Daughters equal ⟨in number⟩ to the aspects of the female grahas upon the 5th house.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Continues the preceding sūtra (180), where the aspects of male grahas on the 5th give the number of sons; strī-graha here are the feminine grahas, the Moon and Venus. dṛk is rendered 'aspect' per the glossary, not 'sight'.

राहौ लाभे वार्द्धके पुत्रसुखम् ।

rāhau lābhe vārddhake putrasukham |

Rāhu in the 11th (lābha) — the happiness of a son in old age.

नीचे पुत्रेशे षष्ठादित्रयगे पापयुते काकवन्ध्या ।

nīce putreśe ṣaṣṭhāditrayage pāpayute kākavandhyā |

The lord of the 5th debilitated, placed in the triad beginning with the 6th ⟨the 6th, 7th and 8th⟩ and joined by a malefic — ⟨the woman is⟩ a kāka-vandhyā, one who bears a single child and no more.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ṣaṣṭhādi-traya is literally 'the three beginning with the sixth' (6, 7, 8), and is so rendered; the edition's own facing English glosses it instead as the duḥsthāna trika 6, 8 and 12. The literal reading is kept and the edition's gloss recorded here. kāka-vandhyā ('crow-barren') is the technical term for a woman who bears one child only.

पुत्रेशे नीचे मन्दयुते काकवन्ध्या ।

putreśe nīce mandayute kākavandhyā |

The lord of the 5th debilitated and joined by Saturn (manda) — ⟨the woman is⟩ a kāka-vandhyā, bearing a single child and no more.

सुते शुक्रभौमान्यतरादृष्टे द्वित्रिविवाहेष्वप्यसन्तानः ।

sute śukrabhaumānyatarādṛṣṭe dvitrivivāheṣvapyasantānaḥ |

The 5th house unaspected by either Venus or Mars — ⟨he is⟩ without offspring even through two or three marriages.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two OCR defects in the mūla, both repaired in sense only: द्वितत्र stands for द्वित्रि (two or three), and विवाहेब्वप्य for विवाहेष्वप्य. The sandhi is decisive on the sense: अन्यतरा-दृष्टे carries a long ā, i.e. anyatara + a-dṛṣṭe, 'unaspected by either' — contrast sūtra 196's अन्यतरदृष्टे with short a, 'aspected by one of the two'. The edition's facing English reads 'inspected by either Venus or Mars', dropping the negative; childlessness through repeated marriage follows from the absence of that aspect, not its presence. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads द्वित्रिविवाहेष्वप्यसन्तानः; this sentence names विवाहेब्वप्य and द्वितत्र, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

कोणे शुक्रर्क्षगेन्दावेकपुत्रः ।

koṇe śukrarkṣagendāvekaputraḥ |

The Moon in a trikoṇa, in a sign of Venus — one son.

सुते राहुकेतू कुपुत्रः।

sute rāhuketū kuputraḥ|

Rāhu and Ketu in the 5th — a bad son.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: राहुकेतू is a dvandva in the dual, so 'Rāhu and Ketu' is what the sūtra says; since the two can never occupy one house together the sense is distributive, and the edition's English accordingly reads 'Rahu or Ketu'. kuputra is 'a bad son', not merely an unsatisfactory one.

धीस्थेऽर्के शुभदृष्टे त्रिपुत्रः ।

dhīsthe'rke śubhadṛṣṭe triputraḥ |

The Sun placed in the 5th (dhī) and aspected by a benefic — three sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The word is tri-putra, three sons; the edition's English has 'three children'. This section distinguishes putra from kanyā throughout (192 against 193), so the masculine is kept.

मृगेऽर्कजे सुते त्रिपुत्रः।

mṛge'rkaje sute triputraḥ|

Saturn (arkaja) in Capricorn ⟨as⟩ the 5th house — three sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Read मृगे (Capricorn) for the printed भृगे. Three grounds: भृगे cannot be a locative of भृगु (that is भृगौ); the edition's own facing English reads Makara here and at 190; and म/भ is an ordinary scanner confusion in this e-text. Paired with 191 — Saturn in his other sign, Aquarius, gives five. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads मृगेऽर्कजे; this sentence names भृगे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सुते मृगगे भौमे त्रिपुत्रः ।

sute mṛgage bhaume triputraḥ |

Mars in the 5th, placed in Capricorn — three sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Same emendation as 189: मृगगे (in Capricorn) for the printed भृगगे, with the edition's facing English reading Makara. Capricorn is Mars's exaltation, which is the point of the sūtra. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads मृगगे; this sentence names भृगगे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

कुम्भे मन्दे सुते पञ्चपुत्रः ।

kumbhe mande sute pañcaputraḥ |

Saturn in Aquarius ⟨which is⟩ the 5th house — five sons.

सुते सूर्यभौमगुर्वन्यतमे क्रमादेकत्रिपञ्चपुत्रोत्पत्तिः ।

sute sūryabhaumagurvanyatame kramādekatripañcaputrotpattiḥ |

Any one of the Sun, Mars and Jupiter in the 5th — the birth of one, three and five sons respectively.

सुते चन्द्रज्ञसितशनयो द्वित्रिपञ्चसप्तकन्योत्पत्तिः ।

sute candrajñasitaśanayo dvitripañcasaptakanyotpattiḥ |

The Moon, Mercury, Venus and Saturn in the 5th — the birth of two, three, five and seven daughters ⟨respectively⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kramāt is not repeated from 192 but the four numbers answer to the four grahas in order, as the edition's English also takes it.

पुत्रे ज्ञे नेत्रपाणौ पुत्रहानिः कन्याप्तिश्च ।

putre jñe netrapāṇau putrahāniḥ kanyāptiśca |

Mercury in the 5th, in the netra-pāṇi avasthā — loss of sons, and the gaining of daughters.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: netra-pāṇi ('hand at the eye') is the third of the twelve śayanādi avasthās, which this same work enumerates at A.75 (śayana, upaveśana, netrapāṇi, prakāśa, gamana, āgamana, sabhā, āgama, bhojana, nṛtyalipsā, kautuka, nidrā); BPHS 45 uses the same term. hāni is rendered 'loss' per the glossary.

पुत्रे द्यूने ज्ञे सभावस्थागे कन्याधिक्यम् ।

putre dyūne jñe sabhāvasthāge kanyādhikyam |

Mercury in the 5th ⟨or⟩ the 7th (dyūna), standing in the sabhā avasthā — an excess of daughters.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: धूने read as द्यूने, the 7th house: the form धून occurs once in the whole e-text against 43 occurrences of द्यून, and the edition's facing English reads 'the 5th or the 7th'. सभावस्थागे is sabhā-avasthā-ga, the seventh of the twelve avasthās (BPHS 45.141 has the same phrase सभावस्थां गते). The sūtra sets the two houses side by side without vā; 'or' is supplied. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads द्यूने; this sentence names धूने, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सुतभे समर्क्षवर्गे ज्ञमन्दान्यतरयुते शुक्रचन्द्रान्यतरदृष्टे कन्याप्रजावान् ।

sutabhe samarkṣavarge jñamandānyatarayute śukracandrānyataradṛṣṭe kanyāprajāvān |

The 5th sign, with its varga, an even sign, joined by either Mercury or Saturn and aspected by either Venus or the Moon — he has daughters for offspring.

शुक्राब्जवर्गे सुतभे समर्क्षे शुक्राब्जदृष्टे वहुकन्यावान् ।

śukrābjavarge sutabhe samarkṣe śukrābjadṛṣṭe vahukanyāvān |

The 5th sign in a varga of Venus or the Moon, itself an even sign, and aspected by Venus or the Moon — he has many daughters.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वहु is the printing's spelling of बहु (v/b), here and at 198.

सितेन्दुवर्गे पुत्रर्क्षे ओजभे सितेन्दुयुते वहुपुत्रः ।

sitenduvarge putrarkṣe ojabhe sitenduyute vahuputraḥ |

The 5th sign in a varga of Venus or the Moon, an odd sign, and joined by Venus or the Moon — many sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Deliberately paired with 197: the same vargas, but an odd sign and conjunction rather than an even sign and aspect, and sons rather than daughters.

सुते शुक्रभांशौ वा शुक्रदृष्टे बहुप्रजः।

sute śukrabhāṃśau vā śukradṛṣṭe bahuprajaḥ|

The 5th in the sign or the navāṃśa of Venus, or aspected by Venus — many offspring.

लाभे ज्ञे शुक्रे चन्द्रे वा कन्याप्रजः।

lābhe jñe śukre candre vā kanyāprajaḥ|

Mercury, Venus or the Moon in the 11th (lābha) — daughters for offspring.

सुतेशेऽर्थेऽष्टमे बहुकन्याः ।

suteśe'rthe'ṣṭame bahukanyāḥ |

The lord of the 5th in the 2nd (artha) or the 8th — many daughters.

लग्नाद्वा चन्द्रात्पञ्चमे शुभर्क्षे शुभसम्बन्धे पुत्रसम्भवो नान्यथा।

lagnādvā candrātpañcame śubharkṣe śubhasambandhe putrasambhavo nānyathā|

The 5th from the lagna, or from the Moon, being a benefic sign and in benefic connection — the birth of a son; not otherwise.

पुत्रेशे पुम्भांशगे पुङ्ग्रहे प्रथमं पुत्रोऽन्यथा कन्या।

putreśe pumbhāṃśage puṅgrahe prathamaṃ putro'nyathā kanyā|

The lord of the 5th being a male graha and placed in a male sign and navāṃśa — the first ⟨child⟩ is a son; otherwise a daughter.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: puṃ-bha-aṃśa-ga covers both sign and navāṃśa; puṅgrahe is a second condition on the lord itself, that it be a masculine graha.

सुताङ्गेशौ समौ पुत्रेण सहौदासीन्यम् ।

sutāṅgeśau samau putreṇa sahaudāsīnyam |

The lords of the 5th and of the lagna (aṅga) being mutually neutral (sama) — indifference ⟨between the native⟩ and the son.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sama is the technical middle term of the friendship scheme (friend / neutral / enemy), not 'equal'. The sūtra names only 'the son'; the other party is supplied, and the edition's English makes it the father.

लग्नपुत्रेशयोरन्योन्यदृष्टौ सुत आज्ञानुवर्ती ।

lagnaputreśayoranyonyadṛṣṭau suta ājñānuvartī |

The lords of the lagna and of the 5th aspecting each other — the son follows ⟨his father's⟩ command.

पुत्राङ्गेशावन्योन्यभांशगौ सुत आज्ञानुवर्ती ।

putrāṅgeśāvanyonyabhāṃśagau suta ājñānuvartī |

The lords of the 5th and of the lagna placed in each other's sign or navāṃśa — the son follows ⟨his father's⟩ command.

पुत्रपेऽङ्गेऽङ्गेशे पुत्रे पुत्रवाक्यवश्यः ।

putrape'ṅge'ṅgeśe putre putravākyavaśyaḥ |

The lord of the 5th in the lagna and the lord of the lagna in the 5th — ⟨the native is⟩ subject to the son's word.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: putra-vākya-vaśya is literally 'controlled by the son's word'; the edition's English softens this to 'under the influence of his son'. The reversal from 205–206 is the point: there the son obeys, here the father does.

सुतेशदृष्टेऽङ्गे सुतेऽङ्गेशदृष्टे पुत्रवाक्यवश्यः ।

suteśadṛṣṭe'ṅge sute'ṅgeśadṛṣṭe putravākyavaśyaḥ |

The lagna aspected by the lord of the 5th, and the 5th aspected by the lord of the lagna — ⟨the native is⟩ subject to the son's word.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The two locative clauses stand side by side with no vā, so both conditions are stated together; the edition's English reads 'or'.

ज्ञेन्द्वच्छानामन्यतमे सुते कन्योत्पादः ।

jñendvacchānāmanyatame sute kanyotpādaḥ |

Any one of Mercury, the Moon and Venus (accha) in the 5th — the birth of a daughter.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: accha ('clear, bright') is taken as Venus, on the sense it shares with śukra and sita, on the edition's own English, and on the chapter's settled pattern that Mercury, the Moon and Venus give daughters (193, 200). If the printing instead conceals a plainer name for Venus the sense is unchanged.

लाभे सेन्दौ मन्देऽप्रजत्वम् ।

lābhe sendau mande'prajatvam |

Saturn together with the Moon in the 11th (lābha) — childlessness.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sa-indau is 'with the Moon', a bahuvrīhi qualifying Saturn; aprajatva is flat childlessness, not merely difficulty in having children.

पञ्चमे एकतमे गुरुवर्गे शुभराशौ औरसः पुत्रः।

pañcame ekatame guruvarge śubharāśau aurasaḥ putraḥ|

The 5th ⟨falling⟩ in any one of Jupiter's vargas, in an auspicious rāśi: the son is one's own begotten (aurasa).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints वौरसः; the word is औरसः (aurasa), the son begotten of one's own body — the first of the classical kinds of son, and the term against which this whole section sets datta (adopted, 212–214), krīta (bought, 215) and dāsīputra (a maidservant's son, 218–219). एकतमे गुरुवर्गे is taken as 'in any one of Jupiter's vargas' (ekatama = 'some one of many'). [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads औरसः; this sentence names वौरसः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मन्दार्क्षांशे सुते चन्द्रे मन्दान्यतरयुते दत्तपुत्रः ।

mandārkṣāṃśe sute candre mandānyatarayute dattaputraḥ |

The 5th ⟨standing⟩ in the aṃśa of Saturn and the Sun, and the Moon joined with one or the other of them: an adopted son (dattaputra).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मन्दार्क्षांशे is not a settled reading in this OCR: it can be मन्दर्क्षांशे, 'in Saturn's ṛkṣa (sign) and aṃśa', or मन्दार्कांशे, 'in the aṃśa of Saturn and the Sun'. The second is preferred here because मन्दान्यतर ('either of the two', anyatara requiring a pair) needs two grahas already named, and only मन्दार्क supplies them. The Hindi keeps मन्दार्क as printed and so holds both readings; the English had to choose.

तुर्ये मन्दारौ दत्तपुत्रः।

turye mandārau dattaputraḥ|

Saturn and Mars in the 4th: an adopted son.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मन्दारौ is the dual of the dvandva manda-āra, Saturn and Mars; तुर्य is the 4th house.

वंशविच्छेदयोगे दत्तपुत्रः ।

vaṃśavicchedayoge dattaputraḥ |

In a yoga for the cutting off of the lineage (vaṃśaviccheda): an adopted son.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra names no particular combination: vaṃśaviccheda-yoga stands for whatever yoga severs the line, defined elsewhere in the work.

धीस्थे मन्दे ज्ञेन्दुयुते क्रीतपुत्रः।

dhīsthe mande jñenduyute krītaputraḥ|

Saturn standing in the 5th (dhī), joined with Mercury and the Moon: a purchased son (krītaputra).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: धी ('intellect') is this work's name for the 5th house — not in the glossary yet; recorded here because the section's subject fixes it. क्रीतपुत्र is the bought son, another of the classical kinds.

पुत्रस्थनवांशो यावत्पापदृष्टः शुभादृष्टः तावद्गर्भपातः ।

putrasthanavāṃśo yāvatpāpadṛṣṭaḥ śubhādṛṣṭaḥ tāvadgarbhapātaḥ |

The navāṃśa standing in the 5th (putra) ⟨house⟩: to the extent that it is aspected by malefics and unaspected by benefics, to that extent there is miscarriage of the fetus (garbhapāta).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: yāvat … tāvat is a proportion, not a count: the more malefic aspect the 5th's navāṃśa carries with no benefic aspect on it, the more miscarriage. It can also be read distributively ('as many such aspects, so many miscarriages'); the Hindi जितना … उतना keeps both, the English keeps the proportion.

जीवात्सुते पापे सन्तानसुखाभावो नान्यथा ।

jīvātsute pāpe santānasukhābhāvo nānyathā |

A malefic in the 5th from Jupiter: absence of the happiness of progeny; not otherwise.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नान्यथा ('not otherwise') is restrictive and is kept: the denial of the joy of children is asserted for this configuration alone.

सकेतावंशे ज्ञशुक्रदृष्टे दासीपुत्रः।

saketāvaṃśe jñaśukradṛṣṭe dāsīputraḥ|

The aṃśa ⟨of the 5th⟩ holding Ketu with it, and aspected by Mercury and Venus: a maidservant's son (dāsīputra).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सकेतावंशे parses as printed, without emendation: सकेतौ (bahuvrīhi, 'having Ketu with it') + अंशे, sandhi au + a → āva. Read instead as सुते केत्वंशे ('Ketu's aṃśa in the 5th') the sense would be much the same, but Ketu owns no aṃśa, so the bahuvrīhi is preferred. दासीपुत्र is left at its weight: the son of a female servant/slave, not a wife.

शुक्रेऽन्त्ये सौरांशे दासीपुत्रः।

śukre'ntye saurāṃśe dāsīputraḥ|

Venus in the last ⟨house, the 12th⟩, in Saturn's aṃśa: a maidservant's son.

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 पञ्चमविवेकः ॥”
  • About this edition: सौर is Saturn by the glossary's fixed rendering (arki / manda / saura / śanaiścara); the homograph 'solar' is not taken. अन्त्य is the last house, the 12th. The printing closes the section here with an unnumbered colophon, ॥ इति पञ्चमविवेकः ॥, which is not a sūtra and is not translated.

Adhyāya 8 · H. अथ षष्टविवेकः

अन्त्यारिगे सुतेशे सुतः शत्रुः ।

antyārige suteśe sutaḥ śatruḥ |

When the lord of the 5th (suta) is in the 12th (antya) or the 6th (ari), the son ⟨is⟩ an enemy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: antya = the last house, the 12th; ari = the 6th. Both are house-names, not the persons; śatru here IS the person (the son).

षष्ठेशे षष्ठे ज्ञातिः शत्रुः ॥

ṣaṣṭheśe ṣaṣṭhe jñātiḥ śatruḥ ||

When the lord of the 6th is in the 6th, a kinsman (jñāti) ⟨is⟩ an enemy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: jñāti is a paternal-side kinsman, not any relative; kept as ज्ञाति in the Hindi.

लग्नेशस्य सुखायेशौ शत्रू चेन्मातृवैरम् ।

lagneśasya sukhāyeśau śatrū cenmātṛvairam |

If the lords of the 4th (sukha) and of the 11th (āya) are enemies of the lord of the lagna, ⟨there is⟩ enmity with the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śatrū here is dual and means planetary (naisargika) enmity between the lords, not the 6th house.

सुखपे पापदृग्युते मातृवैरम् ।

sukhape pāpadṛgyute mātṛvairam |

When the lord of the 4th is aspected by or joined with malefics, ⟨there is⟩ enmity with the mother.

तुर्यपे लग्नपतः षष्ठे वा तुर्येशे षष्ठे मातृवैरम् ।

turyape lagnapataḥ ṣaṣṭhe vā turyeśe ṣaṣṭhe mātṛvairam |

When the lord of the 4th (turya) is in the 6th from the lord of the lagna, or the lord of the 4th is in the 6th ⟨house⟩, ⟨there is⟩ enmity with the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: lagnapataḥ is ablative — 'the 6th counted from the lord of the lagna', distinct from the second clause's 6th house from the lagna. The first षष्टे is printed without the ठ (OCR); the second, षष्ठे, gives the word. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठे; this sentence names षष्टे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

लग्नखेशयोः शात्रवे वा खेशे लग्नतो लग्नपतो वा षष्ठे पिता शत्रुः ।

lagnakheśayoḥ śātrave vā kheśe lagnato lagnapato vā ṣaṣṭhe pitā śatruḥ |

When the lords of the lagna and of the 10th (kha) stand in mutual enmity, or when the lord of the 10th is in the 6th from the lagna or from the lord of the lagna, the father ⟨is⟩ an enemy.

  • About this edition: kha ('the sky') = the 10th house. śātrava = the state of being enemies, i.e. mutual planetary enmity.

सुतेशे त्रिके लग्नेशदृष्टे पितृदूषकः ।

suteśe trike lagneśadṛṣṭe pitṛdūṣakaḥ |

When the lord of the 5th (suta) is in a trika (the 6th, 8th or 12th) and aspected by the lord of the lagna, ⟨he becomes⟩ one who wrongs his father.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pitṛdūṣaka is literally 'a defiler of the father'. The sūtra does not name the referent — the native as a son, or the native's son (the 5th house) as the offender; the Hindi keeps पितृदूषक and leaves it open, as the Sanskrit does.

पुत्रेशे त्रिके राह्वारदृष्टे पितृदूषकः ।

putreśe trike rāhvāradṛṣṭe pitṛdūṣakaḥ |

When the lord of the 5th (putra) is in a trika and aspected by Rāhu and Mars (āra), ⟨he becomes⟩ one who wrongs his father.

पुत्रोदयेशशात्रवे वा पुत्रपे षष्ठे लग्नेशदृष्टे पुत्रः शत्रुः।

putrodayeśaśātrave vā putrape ṣaṣṭhe lagneśadṛṣṭe putraḥ śatruḥ|

When the lords of the 5th (putra) and of the lagna (udaya) stand in mutual enmity, or when the lord of the 5th is in the 6th aspected by the lord of the lagna, the son ⟨is⟩ an enemy.

षष्ठेशे केन्द्रे पापदृष्टे शत्रुपीडा ।

ṣaṣṭheśe kendre pāpadṛṣṭe śatrupīḍā |

When the lord of the 6th is in a kendra and aspected by malefics, ⟨there is⟩ affliction from enemies.

षष्ठे पापा वा लग्नेशः षष्ठे षष्ठेशेऽङ्गे शत्रुपीडा ।

ṣaṣṭhe pāpā vā lagneśaḥ ṣaṣṭhe ṣaṣṭheśe'ṅge śatrupīḍā |

When malefics ⟨are⟩ in the 6th, or the lord of the lagna is in the 6th and the lord of the 6th in the lagna (aṅga), ⟨there is⟩ affliction from enemies.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅga ('the body') = the lagna, the 1st house.

षष्ठपेऽबले पापदृष्टे पापान्तरे वा शत्रुपीडा ।

ṣaṣṭhape'bale pāpadṛṣṭe pāpāntare vā śatrupīḍā |

When the lord of the 6th is weak and aspected by malefics, or ⟨stands⟩ between malefics, ⟨there is⟩ affliction from enemies.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pāpāntara = standing in the interval between two malefics, i.e. the pāpakartarī configuration.

लग्नदारपयोः शात्रवे स्त्री शत्रुः।

lagnadārapayoḥ śātrave strī śatruḥ|

When the lords of the lagna and of the 7th (dāra) stand in mutual enmity, the wife ⟨is⟩ an enemy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: strī is 'woman' as much as 'wife'; the 7th house (dāra) forces 'wife' in the English, while the Hindi स्त्री holds both.

भौमेऽलौगुरुसितदृग्घीने व्रणपीठिकापीडा ।

bhaume'laugurusitadṛgghīne vraṇapīṭhikāpīḍā |

When Mars is in Scorpio (ali) and devoid of the aspect of Jupiter and Venus, ⟨there is⟩ affliction from ulcers and boils.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed भौमऽलौ is not a word. The avagraha sits exactly where अ would elide after ए, so the reading is भौमेऽरौ = bhaume 'rau, 'Mars in the 6th (ari)', with the ए-mātrā lost and र misread as ल — this also gives the locative the rest of the sūtra needs. Read so, but it is an emendation and should be settled against the 1941 plates. pīṭhikā stands for piṭakā, a boil/pustule, the regular partner of vraṇa. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भौमेऽलौगुरुसितदृग्धीने; this sentence names भौमऽलौ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-30: the mūla now reads भौमेऽलौगुरुसितदृग्घीने. The 1941 leaf (PDF p.195) was read by eye on 2026-09-23 at about 2.9x native: the letter after the avagraha is ल, not र, and the letter after the half-ग is घ. The edition's own English line there is 'If Mars occupy Vrischika'. So the भौमेऽरौ proposed above is refuted by the leaf, अलौ, Scorpio, stands, and both renderings now say Scorpio.] [2026-09-30: the 1941 leaf (PDF p.195), read by eye on 2026-09-30 at about 4.0x native, prints भौमेऽलै: the ए-mātrā on म and the avagraha are printed, the consonant is ल, and the vowel is ai, not au. So the 'printed भौमऽलौ' of the first sentence was our e-text's form, not the printing's. Our अलौ, the locative of अलि, emends the press's ऽलै on the lexicon.]

केत्वर्कजावस्ते व्रणपीठिकापीडा ।

ketvarkajāvaste vraṇapīṭhikāpīḍā |

When Ketu and Saturn (arkaja) are in the 7th (asta), ⟨there is⟩ affliction from ulcers and boils.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ब्रण is printed for व्रण throughout this stretch (OCR ब/व). asta is taken as the 7th house per the corpus glossary; the word can also mean 'combust', but Ketu is not subject to combustion and the dual-subject-plus-locative pattern of sūtras 20–25 supports the house. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads व्रणपीठिकापीडा; this sentence names ब्रण, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

लग्नपारौ त्रिके ग्रन्थिशस्त्रजव्रणपीडा ।

lagnapārau trike granthiśastrajavraṇapīḍā |

When the lord of the lagna and Mars (āra) are in a trika, ⟨there is⟩ affliction from tumours and from wounds made by weapons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: granthi = a knot, i.e. a swelling or tumour.

सपापेऽरीशे लग्ने त्रिके शरीरे व्रणः ।

sapāpe'rīśe lagne trike śarīre vraṇaḥ |

When the lord of the 6th (arīśa), together with a malefic, is in the lagna or in a trika, ⟨there is⟩ a wound on the body.

सार्केऽरीशेऽङ्गे वाऽष्टमे शिरोव्रणः ।

sārke'rīśe'ṅge vā'ṣṭame śirovraṇaḥ |

When the lord of the 6th together with the Sun is in the lagna (aṅga) or in the 8th, ⟨there is⟩ a wound on the head.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अष्ठमे is printed for अष्टमे (OCR); sūtra 19 prints the word correctly. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads वाऽष्टमे for वाऽष्ठमे, corrected on the lexicon on 2026-09-20, as sūtra 19 has it.]

सचन्द्रेऽरीशेऽङ्गे वाऽष्टमे मुखव्रणः ।

sacandre'rīśe'ṅge vā'ṣṭame mukhavraṇaḥ |

When the lord of the 6th together with the Moon is in the lagna (aṅga) or in the 8th, ⟨there is⟩ a wound on the face.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mukha is 'mouth' as well as 'face'; the Hindi मुख keeps both.

भौमारीशावङ्गे वाऽष्टमे कण्ठव्रणम् ।

bhaumārīśāvaṅge vā'ṣṭame kaṇṭhavraṇam |

When Mars and the lord of the 6th are in the lagna (aṅga) or in the 8th, ⟨there is⟩ a wound on the throat.

जीवारीशावङ्गे वाऽष्टमे नाभिमूलव्रणः ।

jīvārīśāvaṅge vā'ṣṭame nābhimūlavraṇaḥ |

When Jupiter (jīva) and the lord of the 6th are in the lagna (aṅga) or in the 8th, ⟨there is⟩ a wound at the root of the navel.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: बणः is printed for व्रणः (OCR). [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads नाभिमूलव्रणः; this sentence names बणः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

ज्ञारीशौ रन्ध्रेऽङ्गे वा हृदयव्रणः ।

jñārīśau randhre'ṅge vā hṛdayavraṇaḥ |

When Mercury (jña) and the lord of the 6th are in the 8th (randhra) or in the lagna (aṅga), ⟨there is⟩ a wound on the heart.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: randhra ('the aperture') = the 8th house.

शुक्रारीशौ लग्ने रन्ध्रे नेत्रमूले व्रणः ।

śukrārīśau lagne randhre netramūle vraṇaḥ |

When Venus and the lord of the 6th are in the lagna ⟨or⟩ in the 8th (randhra), ⟨there is⟩ a wound at the root of the eye.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: रन्धे is printed for रन्ध्रे (OCR). This sūtra alone omits वा between the two places; the parallel sūtras 22 and 24–25 carry the alternative, so 'or' is supplied. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads रन्ध्रे; this sentence names रन्धे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मन्दारीशौ रन्ध्रे देहे पादव्रणः ।

mandārīśau randhre dehe pādavraṇaḥ |

When Saturn (manda) and the lord of the 6th are in the 8th (randhra) ⟨or⟩ in the lagna (deha), ⟨there is⟩ a wound on the foot.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: deha ('the body') = the lagna, as aṅga does in the neighbouring sūtras. वा is again not printed.

राहुकेतुयुतारीशोऽष्टमे देहे अधरव्रणः ।

rāhuketuyutārīśo'ṣṭame dehe adharavraṇaḥ |

When the lord of the 6th joined with Rāhu ⟨or⟩ Ketu is in the 8th ⟨or⟩ in the lagna (deha), ⟨there is⟩ a wound on the lower lip.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: adhara is the lower lip in a limb-list of this kind, but the word also means simply 'the lower part'; the Hindi अधर holds both, the English has to choose.

सपापे कर्मगेऽरीशे पापदृष्टे वा यदङ्गे राशौ तदङ्गे व्रणः ।

sapāpe karmage'rīśe pāpadṛṣṭe vā yadaṅge rāśau tadaṅge vraṇaḥ |

When the lord of the 6th, together with a malefic, is in the 10th (karma), or is aspected by a malefic, the wound falls on that limb ⟨of the body⟩ which answers to the rāśi he stands in.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra presumes the standing rāśi–limb correspondence (Aries the head … Pisces the feet); it names no list of its own.

षष्ठेऽन्त्ये वारार्कियोगे सौम्यादृष्टे गण्डमालादयः ।

ṣaṣṭhe'ntye vārārkiyoge saumyādṛṣṭe gaṇḍamālādayaḥ |

When Mars (āra) and Saturn (arki) are in conjunction in the 6th or the 12th (antya), unaspected by benefics, ⟨there arise⟩ scrofula and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पष्ठे is printed for षष्ठे (OCR). saumya here is the class 'benefics', not Mercury. gaṇḍamālā is scrofula, the string of glandular swellings of the neck; ādi leaves the list open. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठेऽन्त्ये; this sentence names पष्ठे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मन्दारावरिगौ वा व्ययगौ व्रणः ।

mandārāvarigau vā vyayagau vraṇaḥ |

When Saturn (manda) and Mars (āra) are in the 6th (ari), or ⟨both⟩ in the 12th (vyaya), ⟨there is⟩ a wound.

लग्नेशे कुजे पुत्रे पापान्विते पापदृष्टे शिलाशस्त्रजं व्रणं मस्तके।

lagneśe kuje putre pāpānvite pāpadṛṣṭe śilāśastrajaṃ vraṇaṃ mastake|

When the lord of the lagna and Mars (kuja) are in the 5th (putra), joined with malefics and aspected by malefics, ⟨there is⟩ a wound on the head made by a stone or a weapon.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vraṇaṃ stands in the accusative without a governing verb, as often in this sūtra style.

भौमेऽङ्गे द्यूने जीवे वा शुक्रे व्रणाङ्कितं शिरः ।

bhaume'ṅge dyūne jīve vā śukre vraṇāṅkitaṃ śiraḥ |

When Mars is in the lagna (aṅga) and Jupiter (jīva) or Venus in the 7th (dyūna), the head ⟨is⟩ marked with a wound.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dyūna = the 7th house. vraṇāṅkita is 'stamped/marked with a wound', i.e. scarred.

आयारिगे भौमे व्यये शुक्रे वामपार्श्वे व्रणम् ।

āyārige bhaume vyaye śukre vāmapārśve vraṇam |

Mars in the 11th (āya) or the 6th (ari), Venus in the 12th (vyaya) — a wound on the left side.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: āyārige is a dvandva in the locative singular (āya-ari-ga) governing a single graha, so it names an alternative: the 11th or the 6th. vraṇa is a wound, sore or ulcer; the sūtra gives no cause.

व्यये गुरौ विधौ ज्ञे आयारिगे गुदाव्रणम् ।

vyaye gurau vidhau jñe āyārige gudāvraṇam |

Jupiter in the 12th (vyaya), the Moon and Mercury in the 11th (āya) or the 6th (ari) — an ulcer of the anus.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra sets two house-terms against three grahas without a connective. Read on the order of the words and on the pattern of sūtra 31 (house, then graha): vyaye gurau is one clause, vidhau jñe āyārige the other. A grouping that put all three grahas in the 12th is not excluded by the syntax alone.

षष्ठेशेऽङ्गे वैरिहन्ता।

ṣaṣṭheśe'ṅge vairihantā|

The lord of the 6th in the aṅga ⟨the body — the lagna, the 1st house⟩ — a slayer of enemies.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पष्ठेशे as printed is a scanner misreading of षष्ठेशे (ṣaṣṭheśe), 'the lord of the 6th'; sūtra 34, on the same subject and the same page, prints the word correctly. This is the akṣara-level OCR error the edition profile declares, not a variant reading. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठेशेऽङ्गे; 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.]

षष्ठेशे बलाढ्ये वैरिहन्ता ।

ṣaṣṭheśe balāḍhye vairihantā |

The lord of the 6th abounding in strength — a slayer of enemies.

षष्ठे शुभदृष्ट्याधिक्ये वैरिहन्ता ।

ṣaṣṭhe śubhadṛṣṭyādhikye vairihantā |

The 6th having a preponderance of benefic aspects — a slayer of enemies.

लग्नेशार्कौ त्रिके तापगण्डः ।

lagneśārkau trike tāpagaṇḍaḥ |

The lord of the lagna and the Sun in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — a boil arising from heat (tāpa-gaṇḍa).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: trika here is the group of three duḥsthānas — the 6th, 8th and 12th — and the term runs on through sūtras 37, 38, 40, 41, 42 and 49; it is not the trikoṇa (trine) of sūtra 51. gaṇḍa is a boil, swelling or tumour.

चन्द्राङ्गेशौ त्रिके जलजगण्डः।

candrāṅgeśau trike jalajagaṇḍaḥ|

The Moon and the lord of the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩ in a trika — a watery boil (jalaja-gaṇḍa).

लग्नषष्ठेशचन्द्रास्त्रिके जलजगण्डः ।

lagnaṣaṣṭheśacandrāstrike jalajagaṇḍaḥ |

The lords of the lagna and of the 6th, and the Moon, in a trika — a watery boil.

मकरांशे दुष्टग्रन्थिगण्डादि ।

makarāṃśe duṣṭagranthigaṇḍādi |

In a Capricorn aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ — a malignant knot ⟨tumour⟩, boils and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: duṣṭagranthegaṇḍādi is printed as one word; it is read as the compound duṣṭa-granthi-gaṇḍa-ādi, the -granthe- for -granthi- being the edition's OCR at the akṣara level. The sūtra names no graha and does not say whose aṃśa it is; the lagna's is the obvious supply and is deliberately not supplied here. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads दुष्टग्रन्थिगण्डादि; this sentence names duṣṭagranthegaṇḍādi, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

लग्नेशज्ञौ त्रिके पित्तरोगी।

lagneśajñau trike pittarogī|

The lord of the lagna and Mercury in a trika — one diseased with bile (pitta).

जीवाङ्गेशौ त्रिके आमरोगी।

jīvāṅgeśau trike āmarogī|

Jupiter (jīva) and the lord of the aṅga in a trika — one diseased with āma ⟨undigested matter; dyspepsia⟩.

शुक्राङ्गेशौ त्रिके क्षयरोगी।

śukrāṅgeśau trike kṣayarogī|

Venus and the lord of the aṅga in a trika — a consumptive (kṣaya-roga).

अंशात् तुर्यान्त्यगौ क्रमात्कुजराहू क्षयरोगी ।

aṃśāt turyāntyagau kramātkujarāhū kṣayarogī |

Reckoned from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa⟩, Mars and Rāhu placed in the 4th (turya) and the 12th (antya) respectively — a consumptive.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kramāt fixes the correspondence: Mars in the 4th, Rāhu in the 12th, and not the reverse. aṃśāt makes the reckoning navāṃśa-based rather than from the rāśi lagna.

भौमार्क्यदृष्टे लग्ने श्वासक्षयादिः ।

bhaumārkyadṛṣṭe lagne śvāsakṣayādiḥ |

The lagna aspected by Mars and Saturn (arki) — asthma, consumption and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: As printed, भौमार्क्यदृष्टे resolves by sandhi to bhauma-arki-adṛṣṭe, 'UNaspected by Mars and Saturn' — the य् requires a following vowel — which contradicts the affliction the sūtra states. bhaumārki-dṛṣṭe, 'aspected by Mars and Saturn', is one akṣara away and is what the sense requires; the line is rendered on the sense. The literal alternative, 'the lagna unaspected by Mars and Saturn', is recorded here and the plates settle it.

चन्द्रार्कावन्योन्यभांशगौ क्षयी।

candrārkāvanyonyabhāṃśagau kṣayī|

The Moon and the Sun each gone to the other's sign (bha) or aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ — a consumptive.

सिंहे वा कर्के चन्द्रार्कौ क्षयी ।

siṃhe vā karke candrārkau kṣayī |

The Moon and the Sun in Leo or in Cancer — a consumptive.

सयमे चन्द्रे भौमदृष्टे ग्रहणजः क्षयी ।

sayame candre bhaumadṛṣṭe grahaṇajaḥ kṣayī |

The Moon together with Saturn (yama) and aspected by Mars — a consumptive, the disease coming by grahaṇa ⟨seizure: caught by contagion, or born under an eclipse⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. सयमे is sa-yame — 'together with Yama', i.e. with SATURN. It is not a position-word at all, which is why the earlier note, looking for one, called it corrupt. यम is this book's ordinary name for Saturn (D.27 यमारराह्वच्छा, N.186 यमेऽङ्गे, both already rendered so in our own file), and स- prefixed to a graha in the locative is this book's ordinary 'accompanied by' (सजीवे at R.17, सपापे throughout, सगुलिके at R.19, सशुभ at G.78). ग्रहणज is left with both senses: grahaṇa is 'seizing', so the disease is either caught by contagion — which is how the 1941 translator takes it — or contracted from a birth under an eclipse. Our earlier rendering chose the eclipse alone.

कर्के ज्ञे क्षयी।

karke jñe kṣayī|

Mercury in Cancer — a consumptive.

लग्नेशेन सह शनिराहुकेत्वन्यतमस्त्रिके चौरान्त्यजजनितो रोगः।

lagneśena saha śanirāhuketvanyatamastrike caurāntyajajanito rogaḥ|

Any one of Saturn, Rāhu or Ketu together with the lord of the lagna in a trika — a disease caused by thieves or by outcastes (antyaja).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: anyatama makes it one of the three, not all three. antyaja is the caste term — 'born last', the lowest castes — and the sūtra says it; the rendering keeps it rather than generalising to 'low people'.

तुर्यगा इज्यारार्कजा हृद्रोगी।

turyagā ijyārārkajā hṛdrogī|

Jupiter (ijya), Mars (āra) and Saturn (arkaja) placed in the 4th (turya) — one diseased in the heart.

मन्दे पापयुतदृष्टेऽन्त्ये वा त्रिकोणे व्याधियुतः।

mande pāpayutadṛṣṭe'ntye vā trikoṇe vyādhiyutaḥ|

Saturn (manda), joined with or aspected by malefics, in the 12th (antya) or in a trikoṇa ⟨a trine: the 5th or the 9th⟩ — one afflicted with disease.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The text writes trikoṇa here, not the trika of sūtras 36-42, and it is rendered as the trine per the corpus glossary. A trine as a seat of affliction sits oddly beside those sūtras, and the edition may be printing trikoṇa loosely for trika; nothing is emended, and the plates settle it.

लाभेशे षष्ठे नानारोगवान् ।

lābheśe ṣaṣṭhe nānārogavān |

The lord of the 11th (lābha) in the 6th — he has diseases of many kinds.

शुक्रारौ सप्तमेऽधिरोगः ।

śukrārau saptame'dhirogaḥ |

Venus and Mars in the 7th — adhiroga ⟨the disease-name as the edition prints it; see note⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अधिरोगः as printed is not a standard nosological term. Two candidates lie one akṣara away: अधोरोगः, 'disease of the lower parts, of the genitals', which suits Venus and Mars in the 7th, and आधिरोगः, 'the disease of ādhi, mental anguish'. Neither is adopted; the term is left as the edition prints it and the plates settle it.

शन्यारौ षष्ठे राह्वर्कदृष्टौ लग्नेशेऽबले दीर्घरोगी ।

śanyārau ṣaṣṭhe rāhvarkadṛṣṭau lagneśe'bale dīrgharogī |

Saturn and Mars in the 6th, aspected by Rāhu and the Sun, and the lord of the lagna without strength — a long-diseased man (dīrgha-rogī).

मदे राहुकेतू उदररोगः ।

made rāhuketū udararogaḥ |

Rāhu and Ketu in the 7th (mada) — disease of the belly.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mada is a 7th-house name (corpus glossary). The nodes stand always opposite, so the dual names the axis rather than a single occupancy: one of the two in the 7th, the other in the lagna.

रन्ध्रे मन्दे लग्ने चन्द्रे उदररोगः।

randhre mande lagne candre udararogaḥ|

Saturn in the 8th (randhra) and the Moon in the lagna — disease of the belly.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: randhra, 'the aperture', is this edition's name for the 8th house; it recurs at sūtra 58. The corpus glossary carries nidhana/naidhana for the 8th and not yet this synonym.

लग्ने गुरुराहू दन्तरोगी।

lagne gururāhū dantarogī|

Jupiter and Rāhu in the lagna — one diseased in the teeth.

मन्दारार्केन्दुषु रन्ध्रारिवित्तान्त्यस्थेषु स्मररोगी ।

mandārārkenduṣu randhrārivittāntyastheṣu smararogī |

Saturn (manda), Mars (āra), the Sun and the Moon standing in the 8th (randhra), the 6th (ari), the 2nd (vitta) and the 12th (antya) — one afflicted with the disease of Smara ⟨the god of love: venereal disease⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra does not say kramāt, so the four grahas are not tied one-to-one to the four houses in the order given; it names a set of grahas standing among a set of houses.

सोत्थेऽरीशे नाभिरोगी ।

sotthe'rīśe nābhirogī |

The lord of the 6th (arīśa) in the 3rd (sottha) — one diseased at the navel.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. सोत्थे is the THIRD HOUSE. The earlier note said 'सोत्थे is not a position-word this text uses' and shipped a rendering that told the reader the position-word was corrupt — in a verse our own claim library already cites. 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.

मन्देऽरिगे पादरोगी।

mande'rige pādarogī|

Saturn (manda) in the 6th (ari) — one diseased in the feet.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ari is the 6th house here, not the enemy as a person as in sūtras 33-35 (vairihantā).

षष्ठे राहुकेतू दन्तेऽधरे वा रोगी ।

ṣaṣṭhe rāhuketū dante'dhare vā rogī |

Rāhu and Ketu in the 6th — ⟨the native is⟩ diseased in the teeth, or in the lower lip (adhara).

ज्ञारर्क्षेऽङ्गेशे शत्रुदृष्टे गुदसमीपेऽर्धाङ्गे वा रोगी ।

jñārarkṣe'ṅgeśe śatrudṛṣṭe gudasamīpe'rdhāṅge vā rogī |

The lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) in a sign of Mercury (jña) or Mars (āra), aspected by an enemy ⟨graha⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ diseased near the anus, or in half the body ⟨one side of it⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: jñārarkṣe is the same compound as C.230 (ज्ञारर्क्षे लग्नपे), 'in a sign of Mercury or of Mars'. śatrudṛṣṭe is left as 'an enemy graha': this text writes the 6th lord as arīśa (H.88) or ṣaṣṭheśa (H.89), never as bare śatru, but the sūtra does not itself decide between the natural enemy and the lord of the 6th.

कर्काल्यंशे चन्द्रे पापयुते गुप्तरोगी।

karkālyaṃśe candre pāpayute guptarogī|

The Moon in the aṃśa (navāṃśa) of Karka ⟨Cancer⟩ or Ali ⟨Vṛścika, Scorpio⟩ and joined with a malefic — ⟨the native has⟩ a secret disease (gupta-roga).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ali ('the bee') is Vṛścika, the sign-epithet family this text uses throughout (cf. aja = Meṣa, cāpa = Dhanus at A.19).

ज्ञाराङ्गेशाः सिंहगाः सुखे वा व्यये गुदरोगी ।

jñārāṅgeśāḥ siṃhagāḥ sukhe vā vyaye gudarogī |

Mercury, Mars and the lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) standing in Siṃha ⟨Leo⟩ that is the 4th (sukha) or the 12th (vyaya) — ⟨the native is⟩ afflicted with disease of the anus.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: siṃhagāḥ sukhe vā vyaye is taken as sign-identified-with-house, the construction of C.36 (siṃhe ... khe, 'Leo as the tenth'). Reading it as three alternative places — 'in Siṃha, or in the 4th, or in the 12th' — is equally grammatical and the sūtra does not settle it.

रन्ध्रे पापा गुह्यरोगी ।

randhre pāpā guhyarogī |

Malefics in the 8th (randhra) — ⟨the native is⟩ afflicted with disease of the privy parts (guhya).

जीवेऽन्त्ये गुह्यरोगी।

jīve'ntye guhyarogī|

Jupiter (jīva) in the 12th (antya) — ⟨the native is⟩ afflicted with disease of the privy parts.

त्रिकेऽष्टमेशे नित्यरोगी।

trike'ṣṭameśe nityarogī|

The lord of the 8th in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ perpetually diseased (nitya-rogī).

लग्ने कुजे शन्यर्कदृष्टे शस्त्रादिपीडा ।

lagne kuje śanyarkadṛṣṭe śastrādipīḍā |

Mars (kuja) in the lagna, aspected by Saturn and the Sun — affliction from weapons and the like (śastrādi-pīḍā).

सार्कजे चन्द्रे भौमदृष्टेऽपस्मारी।

sārkaje candre bhaumadṛṣṭe'pasmārī|

The Moon joined with Saturn (arkaja) and aspected by Mars (bhauma) — ⟨the native is⟩ epileptic (apasmārī).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints भोम (bhoma) for भौम (bhauma); the word is Mars either way. Not repaired here. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भौमदृष्टेऽपस्मारी; this sentence names भोम, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

रन्ध्रे चन्द्रराहू अपस्मारी ।

randhre candrarāhū apasmārī |

The Moon and Rāhu in the 8th (randhra) — epileptic.

रन्ध्रे पापाश्चन्द्राच्छौ संयुतौ केन्द्रे अपस्मारी ।

randhre pāpāścandrācchau saṃyutau kendre apasmārī |

Malefics in the 8th (randhra), and the Moon and Venus (accha) conjoined in a kendra — epileptic.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: candrācchau = candra + accha, a nominative dual answering saṃyutau. accha ('the clear, bright one') is this text's own epithet for Venus, fixed by its own sūtras A.37, A.38, A.50 and A.56 and already read so at C.36, C.55, C.137, C.143, C.146, C.247, C.278, C.290 and C.336.

षष्ठाष्टमे मन्दे कुजयुतेऽपस्मारी ।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame mande kujayute'pasmārī |

Saturn (manda) in the 6th or the 8th, joined with Mars (kuja) — epileptic.

चन्द्रारार्का लग्नमृतिगाः क्रूरदृष्टा अपस्मारी ।

candrārārkā lagnamṛtigāḥ krūradṛṣṭā apasmārī |

The Moon, Mars (āra) and the Sun standing in the lagna and the 8th (mṛti), aspected by malefics — epileptic.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mṛti is the 8th, by this text's own bhāva-list at A.8.

ग्रहणकाले यमारौ रन्ध्रे षष्ठे वा गुरुहीने लग्ने त्रिकोणेऽपस्मारी।

grahaṇakāle yamārau randhre ṣaṣṭhe vā guruhīne lagne trikoṇe'pasmārī|

⟨Birth⟩ at the time of an eclipse, with Saturn (yama) and Mars in the 8th (randhra) or the 6th, and the lagna and the trikoṇa devoid of Jupiter — epileptic.

इन्दौ षष्ठेऽङ्गे राहौ अपस्मारी ।

indau ṣaṣṭhe'ṅge rāhau apasmārī |

The Moon (indu) in the 6th and Rāhu in the lagna (aṅga) — epileptic.

ज्ञार्थेशौ सराहुकेत्वोः षष्ठे तमस्थर्क्षेशयुतौ तालुरोगः।

jñārtheśau sarāhuketvoḥ ṣaṣṭhe tamastharkṣeśayutau tālurogaḥ|

Mercury (jña) and the lord of the 2nd (artha), ⟨standing⟩ in the two ⟨signs⟩ occupied by Rāhu and Ketu, in the 6th, and joined with the lord of the sign in which Tamas ⟨Rāhu⟩ stands — tāluroga ⟨a disease of the palate⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two uncertainties, neither repaired. (1) sarāhuketvoḥ is a locative DUAL, so the two grahas stand in the two signs the nodes occupy; the singular ṣaṣṭhe cannot hold both, since Rāhu and Ketu are always opposed — H.91 writes the singular sarāhuketau when one graha is meant. (2) tāluroma, 'palate-hair', is what the e-text prints; tālu = the palate is certain, but every neighbouring sūtra of this run (77–90) closes with -rogaḥ, and तालुरोगः, 'disease of the palate', is the likely printed reading. It is not adopted without the 1941 plates. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads तालुरोगः; this sentence names tāluroma, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-23: the 1941 plate our text transcribes (jt-sastri-english PDF p.204, printed p.196, sūtra ७६) was read by eye at about 1.6x to 3.7x native, beside ग and म of the same page. It sets तालुरोगः. The e-text's म was a misreading of a heavily inked ग, so point (2) is settled and the mūla now reads तालुरोगः. The same reading found nothing on the page against our सराहुकेत्वोः, so point (1) stands as written.]

सज्ञे सोत्थपे गलरोगः ।

sajñe sotthape galarogaḥ |

The lord of the 3rd (sottha) together with Mercury (jña) — disease of the throat.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sottha = sahottha, 'the co-born', this text's name for the 3rd house — fixed by its own bhāva-list at A.8 and read so throughout (C.60, D.48, E.2–4, F.14, G.25, H.59).

पापे सोत्थे गलरोगः ।

pāpe sotthe galarogaḥ |

A malefic in the 3rd (sottha) — disease of the throat.

सोत्थे गुलिके विशेषाद्गलरोगः ।

sotthe gulike viśeṣādgalarogaḥ |

Gulika in the 3rd (sottha) — throat disease especially.

सोत्थेशांशेश्वरांशेशे केन्द्रे पापयुतदृष्टे मस्तकरोगः ।

sottheśāṃśeśvarāṃśeśe kendre pāpayutadṛṣṭe mastakarogaḥ |

The lord of the aṃśa of the lord of the aṃśa of the lord of the 3rd (sottha), standing in a kendra and joined with and aspected by malefics — disease of the head.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sottheśāṃśeśvarāṃśaśe is read as a three-link chain, on the model of D.86 (kośeśāṃśeśe, 'the lord of the aṃśa of the lord of the 2nd'). The final -aṃśaśe may instead be an OCR doubling of -aṃśeśvara-, in which case the sūtra says simply 'the lord of the aṃśa occupied by the lord of the 3rd'. One exemplar cannot decide it. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सोत्थेशांशेश्वरांशेशे; this sentence names sottheśāṃśeśvarāṃśaśe, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

यमारराहव एकर्क्षगा मस्तकरोगः।

yamārarāhava ekarkṣagā mastakarogaḥ|

Saturn (yama), Mars (āra) and Rāhu standing in one and the same sign (ṛkṣa) — disease of the head.

कुजर्क्षेऽङ्गेशे ज्ञयुते मुखरोगः ।

kujarkṣe'ṅgeśe jñayute mukharogaḥ |

The lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) in a sign of Mars (kuja), joined with Mercury (jña) — disease of the mouth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints कुजर्क्षऽङ्गेशे, with the avagraha standing where कुजर्क्षेऽङ्गेशे (kujarkṣe'ṅgeśe) is required. Kept as printed; the sense is not in doubt. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads कुजर्क्षेऽङ्गेशे for कुजर्क्षऽङ्गेशे, 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.]

कोशेऽर्कारौ मुखरोगः।

kośe'rkārau mukharogaḥ|

The Sun and Mars (āra) in the 2nd (kośa, the treasury) — disease of the mouth.

सोत्थे प्रेतपुरीषांशे भौमे कर्णरोगः ।

sotthe pretapurīṣāṃśe bhaume karṇarogaḥ |

Mars (bhauma) in the 3rd (sottha), in the Pretapurīṣa aṃśa ⟨the twelfth ṣaṣṭyaṃśa of an odd sign⟩ — disease of the ear.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Pretapurīṣa is not two aṃśas but one: it is the twelfth ṣaṣṭyaṃśa in the list this text gives at A.22 (in an even sign the order reverses).

सोत्थे गुलिकार्कजौ शुभदृग्घीनौ कर्णरोगः।

sotthe gulikārkajau śubhadṛgghīnau karṇarogaḥ|

Gulika and Saturn (arkaja) in the 3rd (sottha), devoid of benefic aspect — disease of the ear.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints शुभग्धीनौ for शुभदृग्धीनौ (śubhadṛg-hīnau), 'devoid of benefic aspect' — the same compound the print carries correctly at C.60 and C.146. Read on that parallel, not repaired in the mūla. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुभदृग्धीनौ; this sentence names शुभग्धीनौ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-30: the mūla now reads शुभदृग्घीनौ (दृक् + हीनौ). The 1941 leaf and the second impression of the same setting were read by eye on 2026-09-23 at about 3.1x native, and the letter after the half-ग is घ; शुभदृग्धीनौ above names the form our text held until this date.]

सोत्थपे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे कर्णरोगः ।

sotthape krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe karṇarogaḥ |

The lord of the 3rd (sottha) in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa — disease of the ear.

अंशे केतौ पापदृष्टे कर्णच्छेदः कर्णरोगो वा ।

aṃśe ketau pāpadṛṣṭe karṇacchedaḥ karṇarogo vā |

Ketu in the aṃśa, aspected by a malefic — a severing of the ear, or disease of the ear.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṃśe is left unqualified as the sūtra leaves it; standing at the end of the run 84–86 it is presumably the aṃśa reckoned for the 3rd (sottha), but nothing in the sentence says so.

समन्देऽरीशे नीचेऽनिलरोगः ।

samande'rīśe nīce'nilarogaḥ |

The lord of the 6th (arīśa) joined with Saturn (manda) and debilitated — a disease of wind (anila, vāta).

सारौ षष्ठेशज्ञौ लिङ्गरोगः ।

sārau ṣaṣṭheśajñau liṅgarogaḥ |

The lord of the 6th and Mercury (jña), joined with Mars (āra) — disease of the genitals (liṅga).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints षष्टेश with ट for ठ; kept as printed. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads षष्ठेशज्ञौ for षष्टेशज्ञौ, 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.]

षष्ठे चन्द्रे रन्ध्रे मन्देऽन्त्ये पापे लग्नपे पापांशे पीनसरोगः।

ṣaṣṭhe candre randhre mande'ntye pāpe lagnape pāpāṃśe pīnasarogaḥ|

The Moon in the 6th, Saturn (manda) in the 8th (randhra), a malefic in the 12th (antya), and the lord of the lagna in a malefic aṃśa — pīnasa ⟨chronic catarrh⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints रन्धे for रन्ध्रे, as it does at B.82; kept as printed. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads रन्ध्रे for रन्धे, 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.]

रन्ध्रेशे सराहुकेतौ चातुर्थिकज्वरः ।

randhreśe sarāhuketau cāturthikajvaraḥ |

When the lord of the 8th house is joined with Rāhu and Ketu — quartan fever.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: randhra = the 8th house. cāturthika-jvara is the fever that returns on the fourth day (quartan); rendered by its name, not by a modern diagnosis. sarāhuketau is a locative singular bahuvrīhi, so the sūtra literally says 'having Rāhu and Ketu with it' — both nodes named, not 'either node'.

रन्ध्रे चन्द्रे समन्देऽबले पिशाचपीडा ।

randhre candre samande'bale piśācapīḍā |

The Moon in the 8th house, joined with Saturn and weak — affliction by piśācas.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: manda = Saturn. abale qualifies the Moon (weak), not Saturn. piśāca-pīḍā is torment by piśācas — flesh-eating spirits; left in the text's own terms rather than turned into 'possession' or a medical label.

तमोर्कजौ लग्ने पिशाचपीडा ।

tamorkajau lagne piśācapīḍā |

Rāhu and Saturn in the lagna — affliction by piśācas.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tamas = Rāhu (the darkness), arkaja = Saturn (the Sun's son).

व्ययेशेऽवले क्रूरभांशे नीचांशे वा देहवैकल्यम् ।

vyayeśe'vale krūrabhāṃśe nīcāṃśe vā dehavaikalyam |

When the lord of the 12th house is weak and stands in the aṃśa of a malefic's sign, or in a debilitation aṃśa — deformity of the body.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: krūra-bha-aṃśa may equally be read simply as 'a malefic's navāṃśa'; the reading given keeps bha (sign) doing its own work. nīca = debilitated, per the glossary — never 'low' or 'fallen'. deha-vaikalya is bodily defect/deformity and is kept at that weight.

व्यये पापा वा व्ययेशः पापयुतो देहवैकल्यम् ।

vyaye pāpā vā vyayeśaḥ pāpayuto dehavaikalyam |

Malefics in the 12th house, or the lord of the 12th joined with a malefic — deformity of the body.

सूर्यात् द्वितीये मन्दे खे चन्द्रे सप्तमे भौमे देहवैकल्यम् ।

sūryāt dvitīye mande khe candre saptame bhaume dehavaikalyam |

Saturn in the 2nd from the Sun, the Moon in the 10th, Mars in the 7th — deformity of the body.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: the file prints ditīye for dvitīye (2nd); the ordinal is not in doubt and is rendered as 2nd. sve is genuinely ambiguous — it can mean the Moon in its own sign (Cancer), or 'in the Sun's own place', i.e. the Moon with the Sun, since every other position in the sūtra is reckoned sūryāt. The Hindi keeps अपनी ⟨राशि⟩, which holds the ambiguity as the Sanskrit does; the English had to supply ⟨sign⟩. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads द्वितीये; this sentence names ditīye, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

चन्द्रार्कावन्योन्यर्क्षगौ तनुशोषः ।

candrārkāvanyonyarkṣagau tanuśoṣaḥ |

The Moon and the Sun each occupying the other's sign — wasting of the body.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: anyonya-ṛkṣa-ga: the exchange, i.e. the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Cancer. tanu-śoṣa is a drying up/wasting of the body; not softened to 'weakness'.

कर्कालिघटांशे चन्द्रे समन्दे गुल्मरोगः॥

karkālighaṭāṃśe candre samande gulmarogaḥ||

The Moon joined with Saturn in an aṃśa of Cancer, Scorpio or Aquarius — the disease gulma ⟨an abdominal tumour⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: karka = Cancer, ali = Scorpio, ghaṭa = Aquarius — the three named as a compound, so 'or' is supplied by sense. gulma is the classical abdominal swelling/tumour and is kept by name.

अंशात् सुते केतौ सङ्ग्रहणी ।

aṃśāt sute ketau saṅgrahaṇī |

Ketu in the 5th from the aṃśa — saṅgrahaṇī ⟨chronic dysentery⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṃśāt = reckoned from the navāṃśa lagna, as in sūtras 116–118 of this same viveka. suta = the 5th house.

कोशे मन्दे वा राहौ सङ्ग्रहणी ।

kośe mande vā rāhau saṅgrahaṇī |

Saturn or Rāhu in the 2nd house (kośa) — saṅgrahaṇī.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kośa ('treasury') is the 2nd house; rendered by number per the glossary's house-synonym rule, with the epithet kept visible.

लग्ने तमोज्ञौ द्यूने यमारौ अतिसाररोगः ।

lagne tamojñau dyūne yamārau atisārarogaḥ |

Rāhu and Mercury in the lagna, Saturn and Mars in the 7th house — the disease atisāra ⟨diarrhoea⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tamas = Rāhu, jña = Mercury, yama = Saturn, āra = Mars; dyūna = the 7th house.

सपापे चन्द्रे मुखे कण्ठे रोगः ।

sapāpe candre mukhe kaṇṭhe rogaḥ |

The Moon joined with a malefic — disease in the mouth and the throat.

2 notes on this verse
  • About this edition: SOURCE MARKUP DEFECT, recovered: in the e-text this sūtra's opening does not match the shape the other 2,269 use — no separator at all follows the number. The aphorism itself is complete and its number legible, so nothing was emended; this is recorded only so that a reader comparing our text against the file is not left to work out why that line looked different. A parse that required the tidy shape would have dropped this sūtra and left a hole indistinguishable from a number the edition never printed.
  • About this edition: The sūtra names no house, which is normal here (cf. 97, 120). A second parse is available: 'the Moon joined with a malefic in mukha ⟨the 2nd⟩ — disease in the throat', taking mukhe as the placement rather than as a part of the body. The reading given treats mukha and kaṇṭha alike as the seat of the disease, which the parallel disease-locations in this viveka support. The e-text's markup defect on this sūtra (no separator after the number) touches the number, not the words; the aphorism is complete.

धर्मे कुजेऽग्निविषार्दितः।

dharme kuje'gniviṣārditaḥ|

Mars in the 9th house — ⟨the native is⟩ tormented by fire and poison.

  • About this edition: dharma = the 9th house. agni-viṣa-ardita is a single bahuvrīhi describing the native; the subject ⟨the native⟩ is supplied in both languages. The e-text's markup defect here is in the number's separator, not in the words.

सपापे पापदृष्टे चेन्दौ लग्ने शीतरुक् ।

sapāpe pāpadṛṣṭe cendau lagne śītaruk |

The Moon in the lagna joined with a malefic and aspected by a malefic — a disease of cold (śīta-ruk).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRUPT DISEASE-NAME, not emended. The condition is unambiguous; the result śati-ruk is not — śati is not a known disease-name. Two OCR-plausible originals are śruti-ruk (śruti = the ear, so ear-disease; the ra-phala is exactly the stroke a scanner drops) and śiro-ruk (headache). Neither is adopted: the term is transliterated as printed in both renderings and must be settled on the 1941 plates before any claim rests on it. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शीतरुक्; this sentence names śati, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मन्दार्कशुक्राः पञ्चमस्थाः प्रमेहः।

mandārkaśukrāḥ pañcamasthāḥ pramehaḥ|

Saturn, the Sun and Venus placed in the 5th house — prameha ⟨urinary disorder⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: prameha is the classical urinary disorder (the class that includes madhumeha); kept by name rather than modernised to 'diabetes'.

खे भौमे शनियुतदृष्टे प्रमेहः ।

khe bhaume śaniyutadṛṣṭe pramehaḥ |

Mars in the 10th house joined with or aspected by Saturn — prameha.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kha ('the sky') = the 10th house. śani-yuta-dṛṣṭa is one compound covering both conjunction and aspect.

लग्नेऽर्के मदे भौमे प्रमेहः ।

lagne'rke made bhaume pramehaḥ |

The Sun in the lagna, Mars in the 7th house — prameha.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mada = the 7th house (glossary, Ṣaṭ VII.2).

इज्येऽङ्गे मदे मन्दे वाताधिक्यम् ।

ijye'ṅge made mande vātādhikyam |

Jupiter in the 1st house (aṅga), Saturn in the 7th (mada) — excess of vāta ⟨wind⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ijya ('the one to be worshipped') = Jupiter; aṅga ('the body') = the 1st house. vāta is the doṣa and is kept by name.

त्रिकोणास्ते भौमे मन्देऽङ्गे वाताधिक्यम् ।

trikoṇāste bhaume mande'ṅge vātādhikyam |

Mars in a trikoṇa or in the 7th (asta), Saturn in the 1st — excess of vāta.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: trikoṇāste is a locative of the compound trikoṇa-asta, so it names two places at once — a trine, or asta, the setting place = the 7th (glossary, Ṣaṭ IV.2). 'or' is supplied. A reading that took the compound as one place would have to explain what a 'trine-and-seventh' is; none is available.

क्षीणेन्दुमन्दौ व्ययगौ वाताधिक्यम् ।

kṣīṇendumandau vyayagau vātādhikyam |

The waning Moon and Saturn placed in the 12th house — excess of vāta.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kṣīṇa-indu: the Moon depleted of light, not merely 'weak'.

जलभे चन्द्रे तत्पे षष्ठे जलर्क्षगज्ञदृष्टे मूत्रकृच्छ्ररोगः।

jalabhe candre tatpe ṣaṣṭhe jalarkṣagajñadṛṣṭe mūtrakṛcchrarogaḥ|

The Moon in a watery sign, the lord of that sign in the 6th house and aspected by Mercury standing in a watery sign — the disease mūtrakṛcchra ⟨painful, obstructed urination⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tat-pa = 'its lord', i.e. the lord of the watery sign the Moon occupies; the whole compound jala-rkṣa-ga-jña-dṛṣṭa qualifies that lord, and jña = Mercury. Three conditions, all required.

पापाः षष्ठे वा सप्तमे मूत्रकृच्छ्ररोगः ।

pāpāḥ ṣaṣṭhe vā saptame mūtrakṛcchrarogaḥ |

Malefics in the 6th house or in the 7th — the disease mūtrakṛcchra.

मेषे ज्ञे खेऽब्जे शनिभौमयोगे कुष्ठी ।

meṣe jñe khe'bje śanibhaumayoge kuṣṭhī |

Mercury in Aries, the Moon in the 10th house, and a conjunction of Saturn and Mars — ⟨the native is⟩ a leper.

  • About this edition: abja ('water-born') = the Moon; kha = the 10th. kuṣṭhin is 'one who has kuṣṭha' — the classical disease of the skin conventionally Englished as leprosy; rendered at full weight, not softened to 'a skin complaint'.

मन्दारेन्द्वच्छेषु क्रूरार्दितेषु जलभगेषु सजलकुष्ठी ।

mandārendvaccheṣu krūrārditeṣu jalabhageṣu sajalakuṣṭhī |

Saturn, Mars, the Moon and Venus, afflicted by malefics and standing in watery signs — ⟨the native is⟩ a leper of the moist kind.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: accha ('clear, bright') is taken as Venus — the same epithet-sense as śukra ('bright, white'), and sūtra 115 pairs accha with the Moon exactly where 116 pairs Venus with the Moon for the same result. The identification is inference from the neighbouring sūtras, not a lexicon entry, and is flagged as such. sa-jala-kuṣṭha = the oozing/moist variety.

चन्द्राच्छौ सपापौ जलभगौ श्वित्री ।

candrācchau sapāpau jalabhagau śvitrī |

The Moon and Venus, joined with malefics and standing in watery signs — ⟨the native is⟩ afflicted with śvitra ⟨white leprosy⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: accha = Venus, as at 114. śvitra is the white/depigmenting kuṣṭha; kept by name.

अंशात्सुखे चन्द्रे शुक्रदृष्टे श्वित्री ।

aṃśātsukhe candre śukradṛṣṭe śvitrī |

The Moon in the 4th from the aṃśa, aspected by Venus — ⟨the native is⟩ afflicted with śvitra.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sukha = the 4th house here; 117 and 118 name the same house turya. Both are rendered by number, and the epithet actually used is kept visible in the Hindi.

अंशात्तुर्ये चन्द्रे कुजदृष्टे महाकुष्ठी ।

aṃśātturye candre kujadṛṣṭe mahākuṣṭhī |

The Moon in the 4th from the aṃśa, aspected by Mars — great leprosy (mahākuṣṭha).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: turya = the 4th (the 'fourth' itself, a number-word).

अंशात्तुर्ये चन्द्रे केतुदृष्टे नीलकुष्ठी ।

aṃśātturye candre ketudṛṣṭe nīlakuṣṭhī |

The Moon in the 4th from the aṃśa, aspected by Ketu — blue leprosy (nīlakuṣṭha).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: nīla is the dark blue-black variety; the colour-name is the disease's own classical label and is kept.

लग्नेश इन्द्वारौ वा राहुकेत्वन्यतरयुतौ एकत्र श्वित्री।

lagneśa indvārau vā rāhuketvanyatarayutau ekatra śvitrī|

The lord of the lagna, or the Moon and Mars, joined with either Rāhu or Ketu in one place — ⟨the native is⟩ afflicted with śvitra.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Grammatical mismatch left standing: lagneśaḥ is singular, indvārau and -yutau are dual, and vā sits between them — so the dual participle agrees only with 'the Moon and Mars'. A one-sandhi variant (lagneśendvārau, 'the lagna-lord, the Moon and Mars') would make three subjects but would require a plural ending, which the printing does not have. rāhu-ketu-anyatara = 'whichever of Rāhu and Ketu', i.e. one node, not both; ekatra = in one and the same place.

मन्दार्कारयुतौ रक्तकृष्णाख्यकुष्ठी ।

mandārkārayutau raktakṛṣṇākhyakuṣṭhī |

Saturn, the Sun and Mars conjoined — leprosy of the kinds named rakta ⟨red⟩ and kṛṣṇa ⟨black⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The dual is unattached in this sūtra, so the subject is carried over from 119 — the Moon and Mars; that anuvṛtti is why ⟨those two⟩ is supplied rather than named. The compound could instead resolve as 'Saturn and the Sun conjoined' (mandārkau yutau), which is self-contained and matches the house-less pattern of 97 and 102; the printing writes it as one word, which is why the carry-over reading is given first. rakta-kuṣṭha and kṛṣṇa-kuṣṭha are two of the named varieties, not adjectives describing one.

मन्दारचन्द्रा मेषे वा वृषे श्वित्री ।

mandāracandrā meṣe vā vṛṣe śvitrī |

Saturn, Mars and the Moon in Meṣa, or in Vṛṣa — ⟨the native is⟩ a leucodermic ⟨śvitrī⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मन्दारचन्द्राः = manda (Saturn) + āra (Mars) + candra, a dvandva in the nominative plural; the three are together in one of the two signs. śvitra is the white-patched skin disease (leucoderma/vitiligo), distinguished through this run from kuṣṭha proper.

सौरारयोः रिःफधनस्थयोः क्रमाल्लग्ने चन्द्रे सूर्येऽस्ते श्वित्री।

saurārayoḥ riḥphadhanasthayoḥ kramāllagne candre sūrye'ste śvitrī|

Saturn and Mars standing in the 12th ⟨riḥpha⟩ and the 2nd ⟨dhana⟩ respectively, the Moon in the lagna and the Sun in the 7th ⟨asta⟩ — a leucodermic.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: रिफ (plate: रिःफ, riḥpha) is the Tājika/Greek-derived name of the 12th house; the e-text drops the visarga. krama governs the first pair: Saturn → 12th, Mars → 2nd. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads रिःफधनस्थयोः; this sentence names रिफ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

युग्मकर्कमीनांशे चन्द्रे यमारदृष्टयुते कुष्ठी ।

yugmakarkamīnāṃśe candre yamāradṛṣṭayute kuṣṭhī |

The Moon in the aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ of Yugma ⟨Gemini⟩, Karka or Mīna, aspected by or joined with Saturn ⟨yama⟩ and Mars — a leper ⟨kuṣṭhī⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṃśa here is the navāṃśa, as the edition's own English states. yama = Saturn.

कर्कालि वृषमृगगैःपापैस्त्रिकोणे दृष्टे वा युते कुष्ठी।

karkāli vṛṣamṛgagaiḥpāpaistrikoṇe dṛṣṭe vā yute kuṣṭhī|

A trikoṇa aspected by, or joined with, malefics placed in Karka, Ali ⟨Vṛścika⟩, Vṛṣa or Mṛga ⟨Makara⟩ — a leper.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The locative absolute dṛṣṭe vā yute takes the trikoṇa as its subject, and the 1941 edition's facing English construes it the same way — it makes the trikoṇa the thing aspected or joined, and puts the malefics in Kaṭaka, Vṛścika, Vṛṣabha and Makara. Compared on that claim, not on its wording.

ज्ञेन्दुलग्नपा राहुकेतुयुताः कुष्ठी।

jñendulagnapā rāhuketuyutāḥ kuṣṭhī|

Mercury ⟨jña⟩, the Moon and the lord of the lagna joined with Rāhu and Ketu — a leper.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The Sanskrit has the dvandva rāhuketu-; since the nodes are always opposed, the edition renders it 'with Rahu or Ketu'.

षष्ठेशे सारेऽङ्गे पित्तकुष्ठी।

ṣaṣṭheśe sāre'ṅge pittakuṣṭhī|

The lord of the 6th, ⟨together⟩ with Mars ⟨āra⟩, in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ — a leper of the bilious kind ⟨pitta-kuṣṭha⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सारे = sa-āre, 'with Mars'. aṅga ('the body') is this text's regular name for the 1st house. The 1941 edition renders pitta-kuṣṭha as 'pityriasis'; the Sanskrit says only that the kuṣṭha is of the pitta (bilious) humour.

समन्देऽरीशेऽङ्गे कफकुष्ठी ।

samande'rīśe'ṅge kaphakuṣṭhī |

The lord of the 6th ⟨arīśa⟩, ⟨together⟩ with Saturn ⟨manda⟩, in the lagna — a leper of the phlegmatic kind ⟨kapha-kuṣṭha⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: arīśa = ari-īśa, lord of the 6th (the house, not an enemy-person).

सूर्यषष्ठेशावङ्गे रक्तकुष्ठी ।

sūryaṣaṣṭheśāvaṅge raktakuṣṭhī |

The Sun and the lord of the 6th in the lagna — a leper of the blood kind ⟨rakta-kuṣṭha⟩.

कुजेऽङ्गे रन्ध्रेऽङ्गे तुर्येऽर्कजे कुष्ठी ।

kuje'ṅge randhre'ṅge turye'rkaje kuṣṭhī |

Mars in the lagna, ⟨and⟩ Saturn ⟨arkaja⟩ in the 8th ⟨randhra⟩, in the lagna, or in the 4th ⟨turya⟩ — a leper.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅge occurs twice and the disjunctive vā is not written: the first belongs to Mars, the second to Saturn's three alternative houses (8th / 1st / 4th) — the reading of the 1941 edition's own English, which the word order supports. Its commentary adds that Saturn is here aspected by or associated with Mars.

षष्ठान्त्यगौ मन्दारौ शूलरोगी ।

ṣaṣṭhāntyagau mandārau śūlarogī |

Saturn and Mars occupying the 6th and the 12th ⟨antya⟩ — one afflicted with śūla ⟨colic, piercing pain⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: antya, 'the last', is the 12th house. The sūtra does not say kramāt, so which of the two takes which house is not fixed.

सिंहे चन्द्रे पापार्दिते शूलरोगी ।

siṃhe candre pāpārdite śūlarogī |

The Moon in Siṃha, afflicted by malefics — one afflicted with śūla.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pāpārdita ('pained by malefics') covers affliction by aspect as well as by conjunction, as the edition notes.

लाभेशे सोत्थे शूलरोगी ।

lābheśe sotthe śūlarogī |

The lord of the 11th ⟨lābha⟩ in the 3rd ⟨sottha⟩ — one afflicted with śūla.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सोत्थ (sa-uttha, 'co-arisen, co-born') is this text's name for the 3rd house — a synonym of sahaja, and confirmed by the 1941 edition's English, 'if the lord of the 11th house be in the 3rd'. Not in GLOSSARY.md; add as a 3rd-house synonym.

केन्द्रकोणे सिंहगे शुक्रे सोत्थे जीवे शूलरोगी ।

kendrakoṇe siṃhage śukre sotthe jīve śūlarogī |

Venus in Siṃha occupying a kendra or a trikoṇa, ⟨and⟩ Jupiter ⟨jīva⟩ in the 3rd ⟨sottha⟩ — one afflicted with śūla.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sottha = the 3rd house, as at H.132.

सपापचन्द्रे नवमे पामानः।

sapāpacandre navame pāmānaḥ|

The Moon with a malefic in the 9th — pāman ⟨scabies, an itching skin eruption⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The 1941 edition renders pāman as 'psoriasis'; classically pāman is scabies / an itching eruption. The form printed, पामानः, is irregular for पामा.

मन्दे पापदृष्टेऽर्शसः ।

mande pāpadṛṣṭe'rśasaḥ |

Saturn aspected by a malefic — piles ⟨arśas⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: No house is named. The edition's commentary treats H.135–140 as one group: various malefic influences on Saturn producing piles.

मन्दे लग्ने कुजेऽस्तेऽर्शसः।

mande lagne kuje'ste'rśasaḥ|

Saturn in the lagna, Mars in the 7th ⟨asta⟩ — piles.

द्यूने रन्ध्रेशे क्रूरे शुभादृष्टेऽर्शसः ।

dyūne randhreśe krūre śubhādṛṣṭe'rśasaḥ |

The lord of the 8th ⟨randhra⟩, ⟨being⟩ a malefic, in the 7th ⟨dyūna⟩, unaspected by benefics — piles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two OCR errors in this sūtra, both settled on the plates of the same 1941 printing (p. 204, H.137, which reads द्यूने रन्ध्रेशे क्रूरे शुभादृष्टेऽर्शसः): the e-text's घने is द्यूने, 'in the 7th' (the same द्यून misread differently at H.139, where the e-text has it right), and its करे is क्रूरे, 'malefic'. The edition's English confirms both: 'if the lord of the 8th house be malefic and be in the 7th without any benefic aspect'. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads द्यूने and क्रूरे; this sentence names घने and करे, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

मन्देऽस्तेऽलौ भौमेऽर्केऽङ्गेऽर्शसः ।

mande'ste'lau bhaume'rke'ṅge'rśasaḥ |

Saturn in the 7th ⟨asta⟩, Mars in Ali ⟨Vṛścika⟩, the Sun in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ — piles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ali ('scorpion') is the sign Vṛścika, not a house.

मन्देऽन्त्ये द्यूनगौ लग्नपारौऽर्शसः ।

mande'ntye dyūnagau lagnapārau'rśasaḥ |

Saturn in the 12th ⟨antya⟩, the lord of the lagna and Mars ⟨āra⟩ gone to the 7th ⟨dyūna⟩ — piles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text ends अर्शमः; the plate reads अर्शसः (as in the neighbouring sūtras). Kept in translation as 'piles' either way.

व्ययेऽर्कजे भौमाङ्गेशदृष्टेऽर्शसः।

vyaye'rkaje bhaumāṅgeśadṛṣṭe'rśasaḥ|

Saturn ⟨arkaja⟩ in the 12th ⟨vyaya⟩, aspected by Mars and by the lord of the lagna — piles.

मन्दार्कयोगे कम्फरोगः ।

mandārkayoge kampharogaḥ |

In the conjunction of Saturn and the Sun ⟨mandārka-yoga⟩ — a kapha ⟨phlegm⟩ disease.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two OCR defects, settled on the plate (p. 205, H.141: मन्दार्कयोगे कंफरोगः). The e-text's मन्दायोगे has lost the र्क of मन्दार्क — Saturn AND the Sun, not Saturn alone; the edition's English reads 'when Saturn and the Sun are conjoined'. कम्फ is not a Sanskrit word: the printing has कंफ and the edition translates it as kapha ('bronchitis and cough'). Rendered as kapha accordingly; कम्प, 'tremor', would be the only other candidate and the edition does not support it. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads मन्दार्कयोगे; this sentence names मन्दायोगे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

षष्ठेशे चन्द्रे पापयुते प्लीहरोगः ।

ṣaṣṭheśe candre pāpayute plīharogaḥ |

The Moon, ⟨being⟩ lord of the 6th, joined with a malefic — disease of the spleen ⟨plīhā⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: षष्ठेशे चन्द्रे stands in apposition — 'the Moon being lord of the 6th' — which is how the 1941 edition reads it, and why the author did not write the dual षष्ठेशचन्द्रौ as he does at H.144. A weaker reading takes the two locatives as two separate conditions ('the lord of the 6th and the Moon, joined with a malefic').

लग्नेशेऽस्ते क्रूरदृष्टे शुभदृग्घीने प्लीहरोगः ।

lagneśe'ste krūradṛṣṭe śubhadṛgghīne plīharogaḥ |

The lord of the lagna in the 7th ⟨asta⟩, aspected by malefics and devoid of benefic aspect — disease of the spleen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints प्लहिरोगः for प्लीहरोगः; so does the plate at this sūtra. The word is plīhā, the spleen. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads प्लीहरोगः; this sentence names प्लहिरोगः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

चन्द्रेशषष्ठेशौ क्रूरमात्रदृष्टौ प्लीहरोगः ।

candreśaṣaṣṭheśau krūramātradṛṣṭau plīharogaḥ |

The lord of the sign occupied by the Moon and the lord of the 6th, aspected by malefics only — disease of the spleen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: krūra-mātra-dṛṣṭau: aspected by malefics and by nothing else — the restriction 'only' is in the Sanskrit, not supplied.

कामाङ्गेशे चन्द्रे क्रूरमात्रदृष्टे प्लीहरोगः।

kāmāṅgeśe candre krūramātradṛṣṭe plīharogaḥ|

The lord of the 7th ⟨kāma⟩ and the lord of the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩, and the Moon, aspected only by malefics — disease of the spleen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कामाङ्गेशे is read as the two lords together — the 7th and the 1st — and the 1941 edition's facing English construes it the same way, naming both lords along with the Moon as the things aspected by malefics only. Compared on that claim, not on its wording. The apposition reading used at H.142 is impossible here, since no graha owns both the 1st and the 7th.

सौरारमध्यगे चन्द्रे मृगेऽर्के प्लीहश्वासादिः।

saurāramadhyage candre mṛge'rke plīhaśvāsādiḥ|

The Moon standing between Saturn and Mars, the Sun in Mṛga ⟨Makara⟩ — disease of the spleen, laboured breathing ⟨śvāsa⟩ and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mṛga here is the sign Makara (Capricorn), as the edition reads it. -ādi ('and the like') is in the Sanskrit: the list is open.

सुतगौ मन्दचन्द्रौ प्लीहरोगी ।

sutagau mandacandrau plīharogī |

Saturn and the Moon gone to the 5th ⟨suta⟩ — one diseased in the spleen.

कोशे जलर्क्षे चन्द्रे मन्ददृष्टे दद्रुः ।

kośe jalarkṣe candre mandadṛṣṭe dadruḥ |

The Moon in the 2nd ⟨kośa⟩, ⟨that house being⟩ a watery sign, aspected by Saturn — dadru ⟨ringworm⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kośa ('treasury') is the 2nd house — the edition reads 'the 2nd house identical with a watery sign'. Not yet in GLOSSARY.md. dadru is classically ringworm / a ringed skin eruption; the 1941 edition renders it 'urticaria'.

लग्नेऽर्के दद्रुः।

lagne'rke dadruḥ|

The Sun in the lagna — dadru ⟨ringworm⟩.

कर्कांशे जलभयम् ।

karkāṃśe jalabhayam |

⟨The ātmakāraka⟩ in the aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ of Karka — danger from water.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra names no graha at all: it reads only 'in the Karka aṃśa — danger from water'. ⟨ātmakāraka⟩ is supplied from the 1941 edition's own English ('if Kataka happens to be the Navamsa Rasi occupied by the Atmakaraka'), which carries the subject forward by anuvṛtti from H.118, where the aṃśa reckoning is expressly from the ātmakāraka's navāṃśa. The supplied word is the edition's, not the text's.

अष्टमे चन्द्रे जलभयम् ।

aṣṭame candre jalabhayam |

When the Moon is in the 8th, ⟨there is⟩ danger from water.

चन्द्रारौ षष्ठेऽष्टमे वा सर्पभयम् ।

candrārau ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame vā sarpabhayam |

When the Moon and Mars (āra) are in the 6th or the 8th, ⟨there is⟩ danger from snakes.

तमस्यर्थे गुलिकयुतदृष्टे सर्पभयम् ।

tamasyarthe gulikayutadṛṣṭe sarpabhayam |

When Tamas ⟨Rāhu⟩ is in the 2nd (artha), joined with or aspected by Gulika, ⟨there is⟩ danger from snakes.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tamas is taken as Rāhu on standard lexical usage; the text names Rāhu directly elsewhere and pairs manda with tamas as a dual (मन्दतमसी धर्मे, this same viveka), which fits a graha and not a shadow-point. artha = the 2nd house, fixed within this text by अर्थेश used for the 2nd lord (ज्ञार्थेशौ).

सोत्थेशे राहुयुतेऽङ्गे सर्पभयम् ।

sottheśe rāhuyute'ṅge sarpabhayam |

When the lord of the 3rd (sottha) is joined with Rāhu in the lagna (aṅga), ⟨there is⟩ danger from snakes.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sottha (= sa-uttha, 'co-arisen', a synonym of sahaja) is this text's regular name for the 3rd house. Fixed from its own usage across the work: सोत्थे गुलिके गलरोगः and सोत्थे ... भौमे कर्णरोगः (throat and ear — 3rd-house body parts), केविन्दू सोत्थे भ्रातृहीनो (brotherless), सोत्थाङ्केशौ ... भ्रातृधनतो भाग्योदयः (fortune through a brother), लग्नेशे सोत्थे षष्ठे विक्रमी and सजीवे सोत्थपे धीरः (vikrama, courage).

पापेऽङ्गे त्रिकोणे गुलिके चौरभयम् ।

pāpe'ṅge trikoṇe gulike caurabhayam |

When a malefic is in the lagna (aṅga) and Gulika in a trikoṇa, ⟨there is⟩ danger from thieves.

केतावङ्गे पापयुतदृष्टे पिशाचचौरभयम् ।

ketāvaṅge pāpayutadṛṣṭe piśācacaurabhayam |

When Ketu is in the lagna (aṅga), joined with or aspected by a malefic, ⟨there is⟩ danger from piśācas ⟨ghouls⟩ and from thieves.

सराहुकेतौ षष्ठेशे सर्पपीडा चौराग्निभीर्वा ।

sarāhuketau ṣaṣṭheśe sarpapīḍā caurāgnibhīrvā |

When the lord of the 6th is with Rāhu and Ketu, ⟨there is⟩ affliction from snakes, or fear of thieves and fire.

धर्मेशे षष्ठे षष्ठेशदृष्टे चौराग्निभीर्वा ।

dharmeśe ṣaṣṭhe ṣaṣṭheśadṛṣṭe caurāgnibhīrvā |

When the lord of the 9th (dharma) is in the 6th, aspected by the lord of the 6th, ⟨there is⟩ fear of thieves or of fire.

षष्ठेशे मन्दारयुते चौराग्निभीर्वा ।

ṣaṣṭheśe mandārayute caurāgnibhīrvā |

When the lord of the 6th is joined with Saturn (manda) and Mars (āra), ⟨there is⟩ fear of thieves or of fire.

लग्नाष्टास्तेऽर्के भौमदृष्टे स्फोटाग्निखलभीः ।

lagnāṣṭāste'rke bhaumadṛṣṭe sphoṭāgnikhalabhīḥ |

When the Sun (arka) is in the lagna, the 8th, or the 7th (asta), aspected by Mars, ⟨there is⟩ fear of eruptive sores (sphoṭa), of fire, and of wicked men (khala).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sphoṭa is rendered as an eruptive sore/boil, the sense that fits a viveka of bodily dangers; the word can also mean a bursting or blast, and the Hindi keeps स्फोट so the reader sees the term itself.

सप्ताष्टाद्यार्थे भौमसूर्यदृष्टे स्फोटाग्निखलभीः ।

saptāṣṭādyārthe bhaumasūryadṛṣṭe sphoṭāgnikhalabhīḥ |

When ⟨a graha⟩ is in the 7th, the 8th, the first, or the 2nd (artha), aspected by Mars and the Sun, ⟨there is⟩ fear of eruptive sores (sphoṭa), of fire, and of wicked men.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra names no subject for the locative absolute: सप्ताष्टाद्यार्थे is a list of four houses (7, 8, ādya = 1st, artha = 2nd) with the graha left to anuvṛtti from the preceding sūtras. The subject is supplied as ⟨a graha⟩ rather than guessed; a reader carrying the Sun down from 160 cannot, since the Sun here does the aspecting.

लग्नान्त्यारिमदे गुलिकारौ सूर्यदृष्टौ स्फोटाग्निखलभीः।

lagnāntyārimade gulikārau sūryadṛṣṭau sphoṭāgnikhalabhīḥ|

When Gulika and Mars are in the lagna, the 12th (antya), the 6th (ari), or the 7th (mada), aspected by the Sun, ⟨there is⟩ fear of eruptive sores, of fire, and of wicked men.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed स्फोटानिखलभीः is read as स्फोटाग्निखलभीः, an OCR loss of the ग् conjunct: the identical phrase stands complete in sūtras 160 and 161 of this same viveka. Nothing else in the sūtra is affected. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads स्फोटाग्निखलभीः; this sentence names स्फोटानिखलभीः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

धने मन्दे पापदृष्टयुते शुनो भयम् ।

dhane mande pāpadṛṣṭayute śuno bhayam |

When Saturn (manda) is in the 2nd (dhana), aspected by or joined with a malefic, ⟨there is⟩ danger from a dog.

मन्दे धनेशयुक्तदृष्टे शुनो भयम् ।

mande dhaneśayuktadṛṣṭe śuno bhayam |

When Saturn is joined with or aspected by the lord of the 2nd, ⟨there is⟩ danger from a dog.

सारे षष्ठेशेऽग्निभीः।

sāre ṣaṣṭheśe'gnibhīḥ|

When the lord of the 6th is with Mars (āra), ⟨there is⟩ fear of fire.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints षष्टेशे for षष्ठेशे (ट for ठ); the word is षष्ठेश, the lord of the 6th, as spelt in sūtras 157–159 and 170 here. Left as printed in the mūla, read as ṣaṣṭheśa in translation. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads षष्ठेशेऽग्निभीः for षष्टेशेऽग्निभीः, 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.]

क्रूरेऽङ्गे पापयुतदृष्टेऽग्निभीः।

krūre'ṅge pāpayutadṛṣṭe'gnibhīḥ|

When a malefic (krūra) is in the lagna (aṅga), joined with or aspected by a malefic (pāpa), ⟨there is⟩ fear of fire.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra uses krūra and pāpa in one breath; both are rendered 'malefic' per the glossary, and each Sanskrit word is kept in parentheses so the doubling is visible rather than smoothed away.

गुलिकारौ धनेऽष्टमे वा धनेशदृष्टौ शृगालादिभीः ।

gulikārau dhane'ṣṭame vā dhaneśadṛṣṭau śṛgālādibhīḥ |

When Gulika and Mars are in the 2nd (dhana) or the 8th, aspected by the lord of the 2nd, ⟨there is⟩ fear of jackals and the like.

यमे षष्ठेशे सूर्ययुते शृगालादिभीः ।

yame ṣaṣṭheśe sūryayute śṛgālādibhīḥ |

When Saturn (Yama) is lord of the 6th and joined with the Sun, ⟨there is⟩ fear of jackals and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: yama = Saturn in this text, fixed from its own usage: स्वोच्चगयोर्यमेज्ययोः pairs yama with ijya (Jupiter) as two grahas, and यमेन्द्वन्यतरे उच्चगे pairs it with the Moon. The two locatives यमे and षष्ठेशे are read in apposition (Saturn AS the 6th lord); read as two separate items the sense would be 'Saturn and the lord of the 6th, joined with the Sun'. Sūtra 159 shows this text putting a graha INSIDE the yuta-compound when it means accompaniment, which is the argument for apposition here.

लग्ने जीवसोत्थपौ चतुष्पदभीः।

lagne jīvasotthapau catuṣpadabhīḥ|

When Jupiter (jīva) and the lord of the 3rd (sottha) are in the lagna, ⟨there is⟩ fear from quadrupeds.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sottha = the 3rd house; see the note on 154 for the evidence.

षष्ठेशे मन्दे राहुकेतुयुते मृगभीः॥

ṣaṣṭheśe mande rāhuketuyute mṛgabhīḥ||

When Saturn (manda) is lord of the 6th and joined with Rāhu and Ketu, ⟨there is⟩ fear from wild beasts (mṛga).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Same appositional reading as 168 (Saturn as the 6th lord). mṛga is the deer proper and, by extension, the wild animal generally; the Hindi keeps मृग and glosses it, where the English has to choose.

षष्ठाङ्गपौ जीवयुतौ गजभीः ।

ṣaṣṭhāṅgapau jīvayutau gajabhīḥ |

When the lords of the 6th and of the lagna (aṅga) are joined with Jupiter (jīva), ⟨there is⟩ fear from elephants.

लग्नारीशौ चन्द्रयुतौ अश्वभीः ।

lagnārīśau candrayutau aśvabhīḥ |

When the lords of the lagna and of the 6th (ari) are joined with the Moon, ⟨there is⟩ fear from horses.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ari here is the 6th house, not the enemy as a person: the whole viveka pairs the lagna lord with the 6th lord, and 171 says the same thing with षष्ठ spelt out.

रन्ध्रे कोणेऽर्के गेहशैथिल्यभयम् ।

randhre koṇe'rke gehaśaithilyabhayam |

When the Sun (arka) is in the 8th (randhra) or in a trikoṇa, ⟨there is⟩ danger of the dwelling giving way.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: geha-śaithilya is literally 'the loosening of the house' — the fabric of the dwelling coming apart. The Hindi keeps शिथिल, which holds both the structural collapse and the slackening of the household that the English must pick between.

चन्द्रार्कभे राहौ चन्द्रार्कयुते पशुभीः।

candrārkabhe rāhau candrārkayute paśubhīḥ|

When Rāhu is in the sign (bha) of the Moon or of the Sun ⟨Cancer or Leo⟩ and is joined with the Moon or the Sun, ⟨there is⟩ fear from cattle.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bha is taken as the rāśi, giving Cancer and Leo, which is why the graha can be both in that sign and joined with its lord. bha can equally mean the nakṣatra (the Moon's and the Sun's asterisms), and the sūtra does not decide it; the Hindi keeps भ so the ambiguity survives.

लग्नेऽब्जे पापदृष्टे जलभीः।

lagne'bje pāpadṛṣṭe jalabhīḥ|

When the Moon (abja) is in the lagna, aspected by a malefic, ⟨there is⟩ fear from water.

खे भौमे क्षेत्रचिन्ता ।

khe bhaume kṣetracintā |

When Mars (bhauma) is in the 10th (kha), ⟨there is⟩ concern (cintā) about land.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: cintā (sūtras 176–180) covers both the anxiety a man carries and the matter his mind runs on; in a viveka of fears the first is the working sense, but the second is not excluded, and 179 (chowrie and umbrella) reads more naturally as preoccupation than as dread. The Hindi keeps चिन्ता, which holds both; the English 'concern' is the nearest word that does not close the question.

त्रिके भौमे सौख्यचिन्ता।

trike bhaume saukhyacintā|

When Mars is in a trika house ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩, ⟨there is⟩ concern about comfort (saukhya).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: trika = the 6th, 8th and 12th, fixed from this text's own usage: अङ्गेशेऽबले जीवे केन्द्रकोणत्रिके पापे lists kendra, koṇa and trika as three separate groups, so trika is neither the angles nor the trines; and त्रिकेऽष्टमेशे नित्यरोगी, त्रिके पापेऽङ्गेशेऽबलेऽल्पायुः give it the duḥsthāna results.

जीवे त्रिके वाहनाभरणवस्त्रचिन्ता ।

jīve trike vāhanābharaṇavastracintā |

When Jupiter (jīva) is in a trika house, ⟨there is⟩ concern about conveyances, ornaments and clothes.

त्रिके चन्द्रे वा सिते चामरछत्रचिन्ता ।

trike candre vā site cāmarachatracintā |

When the Moon, or Venus (sita), is in a trika house, ⟨there is⟩ concern about the chowrie and the umbrella.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: cāmara and chatra are the fly-whisk and the parasol, the two emblems of royal honour, and are kept as the objects the sūtra names rather than paraphrased as 'royal rank'.

द्यूने कोणे जीवे पुत्रचिन्ता।

dyūne koṇe jīve putracintā|

When Jupiter (jīva) is in the 7th (dyūna) or in a trikoṇa, ⟨there is⟩ concern about sons.

ज्ञे सुते धीचिन्ता ।

jñe sute dhīcintā |

⟨When⟩ Mercury is in the 5th house, ⟨the native's⟩ thoughts are of ⟨his own⟩ intellect.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: cintā here is the native's own preoccupation, not the astrologer's act of judgement: this sūtra continues the run that begins at sūtra 176 (खे भौमे क्षेत्रचिन्ता — Mars in the 10th, thoughts of land) and runs through 183. सुत suta = the 5th house (glossary). dhī = intellect, the 5th house's own significations.

सूर्ये कोणे तातबन्धुचिन्ता ।

sūrye koṇe tātabandhucintā |

⟨When⟩ the Sun is in a trikoṇa ⟨the 5th or the 9th⟩, ⟨the native's⟩ thoughts are of father and kinsmen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कोण koṇa = trikoṇa, and in this text that is the 5th or the 9th, not the 1st: the immediately preceding sūtra 180 pairs द्यून dyūna with कोण koṇa to mean the 7th alongside the 5th/9th. तात tāta is the father (and, by extension of the same word, a senior held in respect); बन्धु bandhu is kinsmen here, not the 4th house, since it stands in a dvandva with tāta.

सुते द्यूने शुक्रे यात्राचिन्ता ।

sute dyūne śukre yātrācintā |

⟨When⟩ Venus is in the 5th or the 7th house, ⟨the native's⟩ thoughts are of travel.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: द्यून dyūna = the 7th house. The two locatives सुते द्यूने are alternatives for the one graha शुक्र, on the pattern of 180 and 182.

खे धर्मे पापदृष्टे भौमे मातुलाभावः ।

khe dharme pāpadṛṣṭe bhaume mātulābhāvaḥ |

⟨When⟩ Mars, aspected by a malefic, is in the 10th or the 9th house, there is no maternal uncle.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ख kha = the 10th house; धर्म dharma = the 9th (glossary). मातुलाभावः is mātula + abhāvaḥ — a flat statement that the maternal uncle does not exist, not merely that he is of no use; the softer 'no happiness from him' is what sūtra 185 says, and the two are deliberately different.

ज्ञात् षष्ठे पापे मातुलसुखं न ।

jñāt ṣaṣṭhe pāpe mātulasukhaṃ na |

⟨When⟩ a malefic is in the 6th from Mercury, there is no happiness from the maternal uncle.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ज्ञात् jñāt is ablative — the 6th counted from Mercury's own position, not from the lagna. Mercury is the significator of the maternal uncle through this run of sūtras (185–188).

षष्ठे शुभदृष्ट्याधिक्ये मातुलसुखम् ।

ṣaṣṭhe śubhadṛṣṭyādhikye mātulasukham |

⟨When⟩ benefic aspects on the 6th predominate, ⟨there is⟩ happiness from the maternal uncle.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: आधिक्य ādhikya is a weighing, not a mere presence: the benefic aspects must outweigh the malefic ones. षष्ठे is unqualified here and can be read either from the lagna or, carrying 185's reckoning forward, from Mercury; the Sanskrit does not settle it and neither do we.

षष्ठे शुभे मातुलसुखम् ।

ṣaṣṭhe śubhe mātulasukham |

⟨When⟩ a benefic is in the 6th, ⟨there is⟩ happiness from the maternal uncle.

ज्ञे शुभयुते मातुलसुखम् ।

jñe śubhayute mātulasukham |

⟨When⟩ Mercury is joined with a benefic, ⟨there is⟩ happiness from the maternal uncle.

षष्ठेशे त्रिके नीचमूढारियुते लग्नेशे बलिनि शत्रुनाशः।

ṣaṣṭheśe trike nīcamūḍhāriyute lagneśe balini śatrunāśaḥ|

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 6th is in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩, debilitated, combust, or joined with an enemy ⟨graha⟩, and the lord of the lagna is strong — destruction of enemies.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR defect, left as printed: the file reads पष्ठेशे for षष्ठेशे (the ष/प confusion runs through this section — see also 191). नीचमूढारियुते is a dvandva of three conditions holding of the 6th lord: नीच debilitated, मूढ combust (the graha 'benighted' in the Sun's rays), अरियुत joined with a graha that is its enemy. शत्रुनाश is destruction of enemies, and stays at that weight. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads षष्ठेशे for पष्ठेशे, 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.]

लग्नेशादरीशेऽल्पबले शत्रुनाशः ।

lagneśādarīśe'lpabale śatrunāśaḥ |

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 6th reckoned from the lord of the lagna is of little strength — destruction of enemies.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR defect, left as printed: the file reads लग्रेशात् for लग्नेशात् (ग्र for ग्न). The ablative लग्नेशात् admits two readings and the sūtra does not decide between them: (a) reckoning — the lord of the 6th counted from the lagna-lord's position, which is this text's own idiom at 185 (ज्ञात् षष्ठे) and is how the 1941 edition takes it; (b) comparison — the 6th lord being weaker THAN the lagna lord, which would make this sūtra the mirror of 189's strong lagna lord. Rendered on (a), with (b) recorded here. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads लग्नेशादरीशेऽल्पबले for लग्रेशादरीशेऽल्पबले, 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.]

षष्ठेऽर्के कौतुके शत्रुनाशः ।

ṣaṣṭhe'rke kautuke śatrunāśaḥ |

⟨When⟩ the Sun is in the 6th and in the kautuka avasthā, ⟨there is⟩ destruction of enemies.

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 षष्ट विवेकः ॥”
  • About this edition: OCR defect, left as printed: पष्ठे for षष्ठे. कौतुके is not the ordinary word 'delight' here but a named state: kautuka is the eleventh of the twelve avasthās this same work enumerates at sūtra A.75 (शयन, उपवेशन, नेत्रपाणि, प्रकाश, गमन, आगमन, सभागम, भोजन, नृत्य, लिप्सा, कौतुक, निद्रा), where the edition glosses it 'delight, joy, pleasure'. It is left untranslated for that reason. The section closes here with the printing's colophon ॥ इति षष्ट विवेकः ॥, which carries no number and is not a sūtra. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads षष्ठेऽर्के for पष्ठेऽर्के, 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.]

Adhyāya 11 · K. अथ सप्तमविवेकः

स्वोच्चे सोत्थेशे षष्ठे पापयुते चरभांशे युद्धारम्भात्पूर्वं धृष्टः।

svocce sottheśe ṣaṣṭhe pāpayute carabhāṃśe yuddhārambhātpūrvaṃ dhṛṣṭaḥ|

The lord of the 3rd (sottha) in its own exaltation, ⟨or⟩ in the 6th, joined with a malefic, and in a movable sign and aṃśa — ⟨he is⟩ bold before the battle begins.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पष्ठे is षष्ठे — OCR (ष read as प). svocca and the 6th cannot both hold of one graha at once, so the alternative is supplied; the sūtra prints no वा. carabhāṃśe follows the pattern of nīcarkṣāṃśe at E.22, sign and aṃśa together. dhṛṣṭa is bold/brazen; 'before the battle begins' is left standing as the sūtra has it, and neither rendering closes the implication that the boldness does not outlast the onset. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठे; this sentence names पष्ठे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

पापर्क्षे सोत्थे पापयुते तथाभूते सोत्थेशे युद्धारम्भात्पूर्वं धृष्टः।

pāparkṣe sotthe pāpayute tathābhūte sottheśe yuddhārambhātpūrvaṃ dhṛṣṭaḥ|

The 3rd (sottha) in a malefic's sign and joined with a malefic, and the lord of the 3rd likewise ⟨so placed⟩ — ⟨he is⟩ bold before the battle begins.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tathābhūte carries both conditions of the first clause over to the lord — malefic's sign and malefic conjunction alike; what is carried is supplied in ⟨…⟩.

क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे सोत्थपे नीचे पापयुते दृष्टे युद्धे जाड्यम् ।

krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe sotthape nīce pāpayute dṛṣṭe yuddhe jāḍyam |

The lord of the 3rd (sottha) in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, debilitated, joined with and aspected by malefics — torpor in battle.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: जाडयम् is जाड्यम् — OCR. jāḍya is torpor, the freezing of body and wit, rendered as at BPHS 47.24; the sūtra says it of the fighting itself, not of the man in general. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads जाड्यम्; this sentence names जाडयम्, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

भ्रातृपे तुङ्गषष्ठेशयुते युद्धे पराजयः ।

bhrātṛpe tuṅgaṣaṣṭheśayute yuddhe parājayaḥ |

The lord of the 3rd (bhrātṛpa) joined with the exalted lord of the 6th — defeat in battle.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: षष्टेश is printed with ट; read षष्ठेश, the lord of the 6th (so also at K.17). It could in principle be षष्ट्यंशेश, the lord of a ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, but this text spells ṣaṣṭyaṃśa in full where it means it (K.3, K.5). One OCR exemplar cannot settle the akṣara and no plate has been read. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads तुङ्गषष्ठेशयुते; this sentence names षष्टेश, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

भ्रातृकारके सबले क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे युद्धे पराजयः।

bhrātṛkārake sabale krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe yuddhe parājayaḥ|

The kāraka of brothers strong, ⟨yet⟩ in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa — defeat in battle.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The concessive ('though strong') is not in the sūtra, which simply juxtaposes strength and the evil ṣaṣṭyaṃśa; it is marked as supplied. bhrātṛkāraka is kept as the text has it rather than resolved to Mars, following E.22 and E.27.

सोत्थेशे सिंहासनपारावतगोपुरे मृद्वंशे वा शुभदृष्टयुते उत्साहो युद्धकौशलं च ।

sottheśe siṃhāsanapārāvatagopure mṛdvaṃśe vā śubhadṛṣṭayute utsāho yuddhakauśalaṃ ca |

The lord of the 3rd (sottha) in siṃhāsana, pārāvata or gopura, or in the mṛdvaṃśa, aspected by or joined with benefics — enthusiasm and skill in war.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: siṃhāsana, pārāvata and gopura are named grades of varga-dignity, listed in order at A.21 (pārijāta, uttama, gopura, siṃhāsana, pārāvata, devaloka, airāvata, vaiśeṣika); the sūtra names three of them out of that order and they are left in Sanskrit, as at D.5 and C.71. mṛdvaṃśa stands with them at E.10 and is likewise left untranslated — it is not on the standard lists and this exemplar cannot fix it.

सोत्थपे तुङ्गे सशुभे युद्धाभिलाषी ।

sotthape tuṅge saśubhe yuddhābhilāṣī |

The lord of the 3rd exalted and accompanied by a benefic — eager for battle.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सशुमे is सशुभे — OCR. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सशुभे; this sentence names सशुमे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सोत्थपे वैशेषिके सबले मृद्वंशगेऽङ्गेशे युद्धाभिलाषी ।

sotthape vaiśeṣike sabale mṛdvaṃśage'ṅgeśe yuddhābhilāṣī |

The lord of the 3rd in the vaiśeṣika ⟨aṃśa⟩ and strong, and the lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) placed in the mṛdvaṃśa — eager for battle.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मृवंशगे is मृद्वंशगे — OCR drops द्. vaiśeṣika is the highest of the varga-dignity grades of A.21; aṃśa is supplied because the sūtra names the grade alone. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads मृद्वंशगेऽङ्गेशे; this sentence names मृवंशगे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

शुभर्क्षे सुखेशे धर्मपयुते सेनाबाहुल्यम् ।

śubharkṣe sukheśe dharmapayute senābāhulyam |

The lord of the 4th (sukha) in a benefic's sign and joined with the lord of the 9th (dharma) — abundance of army.

षट्सु मित्रभगेषु सेनापतिः ।

ṣaṭsu mitrabhageṣu senāpatiḥ |

Six ⟨grahas⟩ in the signs of friends — a commander of armies.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: 'grahas' is supplied: the sūtra has only the numeral in the locative plural, and E.59 gives the one-graha case in the same words — ekasmin grahe mitrabhage, 'a single graha in a friend's sign'. bha is taken as rāśi there and here; the word can also mean nakṣatra, and the sūtra does not disambiguate (so the note at B.128).

भौमे सबले सेनापतिः।

bhaume sabale senāpatiḥ|

Mars strong — a commander of armies.

शुक्रज्ञौ खास्ताष्टान्यतमे व्यभिचारी ।

śukrajñau khāstāṣṭānyatame vyabhicārī |

Venus and Mercury in any one of the 10th (kha), the 7th (asta) or the 8th — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: any-tama, 'any one of them', governs the three houses of the compound kha-asta-aṣṭa.

खास्तगौ भौमाच्छौ व्यभिचारी ।

khāstagau bhaumācchau vyabhicārī |

Mars (bhauma) and Venus (accha) placed in the 10th (kha) and the 7th (asta) — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. भौमाच्छौ is bhauma + accha, Mars and Venus. The earlier note stated in terms that accha 'is not a graha-name in this text or elsewhere in the corpus'; that sentence was false against 64 verses of this same file. 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'.

खाम्बुपौ कन्यारौ व्यभिचारी ।

khāmbupau kanyārau vyabhicārī |

The lords of the 10th (kha) and the 4th (ambu) in Virgo and in ⟨a sign of⟩ Mars (āra) — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कन्यारौ is a dual compression read as kanyā (Virgo) + āra (Mars), the two positions answering to the two lords named; 'a sign of' is supplied on that reading, since āra names the graha and not a house. It could instead be a damaged कन्याराशौ, 'in the sign Virgo', with both lords there. One OCR exemplar does not settle it.

चन्द्रात् खे शुक्रे ततः खे मन्दे व्यभिचारी ।

candrāt khe śukre tataḥ khe mande vyabhicārī |

Venus in the 10th (kha) from the Moon, and Saturn in the 10th from that ⟨Venus⟩ — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tataḥ, 'from that', refers to Venus just named, not back to the Moon; the referent is supplied in both renderings.

खास्तगाः शुक्रभस्था ज्ञाच्छार्कजा व्यभिचारी ।

khāstagāḥ śukrabhasthā jñācchārkajā vyabhicārī |

Mercury and Saturn (arkaja) placed in the 10th (kha) and the 7th (asta) and standing in a sign of Venus — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ज्ञाच्छार्कजा is read ज्ञाश्चार्कजाः = jñāś ca arkajāḥ, 'Mercury and Saturn' — श्च misprinted or misread as च्छ. The same confusion stands behind भौमाच्छौ at K.13, where the second name does not resolve. The plural forms are rendered as a pair because two grahas are named.

षष्ठेशे त्रिके व्यभिचारी ।

ṣaṣṭheśe trike vyabhicārī |

The lord of the 6th in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: trika is defined by this text at A.31 as the 6th, the 8th and the last — the gloss is the book's own. षष्टेशे is printed with ट; read षष्ठेशे, as at K.4. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठेशे; this sentence names षष्टेशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

दारार्थकर्मेशाः स्वे व्यभिचारी ।

dārārthakarmeśāḥ sve vyabhicārī |

The lords of the 7th (dāra), the 2nd (artha) and the 10th (karma) ⟨each⟩ in its own ⟨sign⟩ — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sve is singular against three plural lords, so the distribution ('each in its own') is supplied. sva here is the own sign; the sūtra does not say bhāva.

सराहुकेतौ दारेशे पापदृष्टे व्यभिचारी ।

sarāhuketau dāreśe pāpadṛṣṭe vyabhicārī |

The lord of the 7th (dāra) joined with Rāhu and Ketu and aspected by a malefic — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sa-rāhu-ketau is a bahuvrīhi on dāreśe. Rāhu and Ketu stand always in opposition, so no graha can be with both at once: what the compound names is the axis — conjunction with whichever of the two. The compound is kept as printed in both renderings rather than resolved to 'either'.

शन्यारवर्गे शुक्रे भौमार्किदृष्टे व्यभिचारी ।

śanyāravarge śukre bhaumārkidṛṣṭe vyabhicārī |

Venus in a varga of Saturn and Mars, aspected by Mars and Saturn (arki) — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The same two grahas are named twice under different epithets — śani/āra for the varga, bhauma/arki for the aspect; both renderings keep the epithets the sūtra uses.

अंशादन्त्ये शुक्रारौ व्यभिचारी ।

aṃśādantye śukrārau vyabhicārī |

Venus and Mars in the 12th (antya) from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa lagna⟩ — an adulterer.

  • About this edition: aṃśāt is ablative — counted from the navāṃśa ascendant, not from the rāśi lagna (so C.85, C.124).

अंशादङ्के केतावामरणं पराङ्गनासक्तिः ।

aṃśādaṅke ketāvāmaraṇaṃ parāṅganāsaktiḥ |

Ketu in the aṅka ⟨the 9th⟩ from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa lagna⟩ — attachment to other men's women until death.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅka is the number-word for nine (the nine digits), and this text uses it so at D.71 — Rāhu in the aṅka from the aṃśa, destruction of property through the same attachment. āmaraṇam fixes it as lasting till death, and is not softened.

धनेशे सोत्थे तुर्ये विक्रमी व्यभिचारी च ।

dhaneśe sotthe turye vikramī vyabhicārī ca |

The lord of the 2nd (dhana) in the 3rd (sottha) ⟨or⟩ in the 4th (turya) — valorous, and an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two houses, one lord: the alternative is supplied, as at K.24 and K.25 where the same construction recurs. vikramī answers to the 3rd, the house of vikrama, which is what sottha names here.

द्यूनेशेऽङ्गेऽस्ते व्यभिचारी।

dyūneśe'ṅge'ste vyabhicārī|

The lord of the 7th (dyūna) in the 1st (aṅga) ⟨or⟩ in the 7th (asta) — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The 7th is named twice over in one sūtra by two different words — dyūna for the house whose lord is meant, asta for the place he stands in (his own house).

मदेशेऽन्त्येऽर्थे नानास्त्रीगमनम् ।

madeśe'ntye'rthe nānāstrīgamanam |

The lord of the 7th (mada) in the 12th (antya) ⟨or⟩ in the 2nd (artha) — intercourse with many women.

मन्दारवर्गमात्रगे भृगौ सप्तमे मन्दारदृष्टे व्यभिचारी ।

mandāravargamātrage bhṛgau saptame mandāradṛṣṭe vyabhicārī |

Venus (bhṛgu) in the 7th, gone into the vargas of Saturn and Mars only, and aspected by Saturn and Mars — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mātra, 'only', is load-bearing: Venus must hold no varga but Saturn's and Mars's.

सौरारावस्ते सेन्दू स्त्रिया सह व्यभिचारी ।

saurārāvaste sendū striyā saha vyabhicārī |

Saturn and Mars in the 7th (asta) together with the Moon — an adulterer with a woman.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: striyā saha adds what vyabhicārī alone does not carry in the preceding sūtras, and it runs two ways: 'commits adultery with a woman', or 'is unchaste in company with ⟨his own⟩ wife'. English has to take a construction; the Hindi स्त्री के साथ व्यभिचारी holds both.

केन्द्रे चन्द्रे वा शुक्रे पापान्वितदृष्टे क्रूरांशेऽवरोहिणि मातृगमनम् ।

kendre candre vā śukre pāpānvitadṛṣṭe krūrāṃśe'varohiṇi mātṛgamanam |

The Moon or Venus in a kendra, joined with and aspected by malefics, in a malefic aṃśa that is descending (avarohin) — intercourse with the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints केन्द्र for केन्द्रे. avarohin is the descending grade, the word used of a graha fallen from exaltation (Bṛhat Jātaka 8.6). mātṛgamana is rendered at its weight.

चन्द्रार्कौ पापदृष्टयुतौ केन्द्रे मातृगमनम् ।

candrārkau pāpadṛṣṭayutau kendre mātṛgamanam |

The Moon and the Sun in a kendra, aspected by and joined with malefics — intercourse with the mother.

सुखे पापाः पापदृष्टे मातृगमनम् ।

sukhe pāpāḥ pāpadṛṣṭe mātṛgamanam |

Malefics in the 4th (sukha), ⟨that house⟩ aspected by a malefic — intercourse with the mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pāpadṛṣṭe is a singular locative against the plural pāpāḥ — it agrees with sukhe, so what is aspected is the house, not the malefics standing in it; the referent is supplied.

सुखपे पापदृष्टयुते शुभदृग्घीने दारेशतोऽङ्गेशेऽल्पबले मातृसमानागामी।

sukhape pāpadṛṣṭayute śubhadṛgghīne dāreśato'ṅgeśe'lpabale mātṛsamānāgāmī|

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 4th is aspected by and joined with malefics and devoid of benefic ⟨aspect⟩, and the lord of the lagna is of little strength as ⟨measured⟩ from the lord of the 7th — he goes to a woman equal to ⟨his⟩ mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Continues the मातृगमन series of sūtras 28–30: the woman is his mother's peer, not his mother. OCR: शुभग्धीने stands for शुभदृग्हीने (devoid of benefic aspect); a reading शुभैर्हीने, 'devoid of benefics', would give the same drift of sense, and the Hindi keeps the aspect-word in ⟨⟩ for that reason. दारेशतः is taken as the point of comparison — the lagna-lord weaker than the 7th-lord. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुभदृग्धीने; this sentence names शुभग्धीने, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-30: the mūla now reads शुभदृग्घीने. The 1941 leaf (PDF p.225, folio 217) was read by eye on 2026-09-23 at about 6.0x native and its letter after the half-ग is ध, so शुभदृग्धीने was a faithful transcription; ग्धीन is no word, and the text is emended on the lexicon to दृग्घीन, the form the same printing carries in this compound elsewhere.]

दारेशे सुखे सपापे वा पापदृष्टे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे भगिनीगमनम्।

dāreśe sukhe sapāpe vā pāpadṛṣṭe krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe bhaginīgamanam|

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 7th is in the 4th, joined with malefics or aspected by malefics, ⟨and stands⟩ in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa — intercourse with ⟨his own⟩ sister.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: क्रूरपष्ट्यंशे is a misreading of क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे — the same term is spelt correctly at K.3 and K.5 of this chapter, which settles it. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे; this sentence names क्रूरपष्ट्यंशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सुखे मन्दे पापदृष्टे भगिनीगमनम् ।

sukhe mande pāpadṛṣṭe bhaginīgamanam |

⟨When⟩ Saturn is in the 4th and aspected by malefics — intercourse with ⟨his⟩ sister.

दारे सूर्ये वन्ध्यासङ्गः।

dāre sūrye vandhyāsaṅgaḥ|

⟨When⟩ the Sun is in the 7th — union with a barren woman.

द्यूने भौमे वन्ध्यारजस्वलासङ्गः ।

dyūne bhaume vandhyārajasvalāsaṅgaḥ |

⟨When⟩ Mars is in the 7th — union with a barren woman ⟨and⟩ with a woman in her courses.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वन्ध्यारजस्वला is a dvandva; the two women need not be one woman, and Hindi तथा holds both readings as the Sanskrit does.

मदेऽन्त्ये ज्ञे वैश्यासङ्गः ।

made'ntye jñe vaiśyāsaṅgaḥ |

⟨When⟩ Mercury is in the 7th ⟨or⟩ the 12th — union with a Vaiśya woman.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अन्त्य = the 12th house, fixed by K.21 (अंशादन्त्ये) in this same chapter. वैश्या is read as the Vaiśya woman rather than वेश्या, a courtesan: Mercury is the vaiśya among the grahas and the very next sūtra pairs Jupiter with a brāhmaṇī, so the varṇa series is the governing one. The OCR spelling cannot itself decide between वैश्या and वेश्या.

गुरावस्ते ब्राह्मणीसङ्गः।

gurāvaste brāhmaṇīsaṅgaḥ|

⟨When⟩ Jupiter is in the 7th — union with a Brāhmaṇa woman.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अस्त, the setting place, is the 7th house.

मदे भृगौ राहौ वा गर्भिणीसङ्गः ।

made bhṛgau rāhau vā garbhiṇīsaṅgaḥ |

⟨When⟩ Venus or Rāhu is in the 7th — union with a pregnant woman.

द्यूने शनौ कृष्णवर्णकुब्जासङ्गः ।

dyūne śanau kṛṣṇavarṇakubjāsaṅgaḥ |

⟨When⟩ Saturn is in the 7th — union with a black-complexioned, hunchbacked woman.

सपापे चन्द्रेऽङ्के गुरुतल्पगः ।

sapāpe candre'ṅke gurutalpagaḥ |

⟨When⟩ the Moon, joined with a malefic, is in the 9th — he goes to his preceptor's bed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्क = the 9th house (aṅka, 'digit', is the number-word for nine); K.22 of this chapter counts अंशादङ्के, 'in the 9th from the aṃśa', which fixes the value, and sūtras 43–45 restate the same rulings with धर्म, the ordinary name of the 9th. गुरुतल्पग is the technical name of one of the mahāpātakas — intercourse with the wife of one's teacher — and is left at its weight.

सपापे शुक्रेऽङ्के गुरुतल्पगः ।

sapāpe śukre'ṅke gurutalpagaḥ |

⟨When⟩ Venus, joined with a malefic, is in the 9th — he goes to his preceptor's bed.

सपापौ चन्द्राङ्केशौ वा शुक्राङ्केशौ गुरुतल्पगः ।

sapāpau candrāṅkeśau vā śukrāṅkeśau gurutalpagaḥ |

⟨When⟩ the Moon and the lord of the 9th, or Venus and the lord of the 9th, are ⟨both⟩ joined with malefics — he goes to his preceptor's bed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: सपापो stands for the dual सपापौ, which the dual चन्द्राङ्केशौ / शुक्राङ्केशौ requires; rendered as the dual. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सपापौ; this sentence names सपापो, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

धर्मेशे नीचगे तदंशगशुक्रयुते गुरुतल्पगः ।

dharmeśe nīcage tadaṃśagaśukrayute gurutalpagaḥ |

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 9th is debilitated and is joined with Venus standing in that same aṃśa — he goes to his preceptor's bed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: तदंशग: 'occupying its aṃśa' — the aṃśa of the debilitated 9th-lord. The pronoun could in principle point to the debilitation sign instead; the sūtra does not say, and the rendering keeps the same reach as the Sanskrit.

धर्मे चन्द्रे वयोधिकस्त्रीगमनम् ।

dharme candre vayodhikastrīgamanam |

⟨When⟩ the Moon is in the 9th — intercourse with a woman greater ⟨than himself⟩ in years.

धर्मेशे नीचे गुरुसम्बन्धिस्त्रीगमनम् ।

dharmeśe nīce gurusambandhistrīgamanam |

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 9th is debilitated — intercourse with a woman related to his preceptor.

लग्नारिपौ पापयुतौ व्यभिचारी ।

lagnāripau pāpayutau vyabhicārī |

⟨When⟩ the lords of the lagna and of the 6th are ⟨both⟩ joined with malefics — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अरि here is the 6th house, not an enemy as a person; लग्नारिपौ is a dual of the two lords, matched by the dual पापयुतौ.

क्षीणेन्दौ पापयुतेऽस्ते वा रन्ध्राङ्केशयोगे व्यभिचारी ।

kṣīṇendau pāpayute'ste vā randhrāṅkeśayoge vyabhicārī |

⟨When⟩ the waning Moon, joined with malefics, is in the 7th, or ⟨when⟩ there is a conjunction of the lords of the 8th and the 9th — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: रन्ध्र = the 8th house, अङ्क = the 9th (see the note on K.40). वा divides the two conditions; अस्ते could alternatively be read as a third independent case ('or is in the 7th'), and the Hindi keeps the Moon and the 7th in one clause as the Sanskrit word-order does.

सपापे दारपे विशेषेण व्यभिचारी ।

sapāpe dārape viśeṣeṇa vyabhicārī |

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 7th is with malefics — especially an adulterer.

चन्द्रारार्कियोगे दम्पती जारौ ।

candrārārkiyoge dampatī jārau |

In the conjunction of the Moon, Mars and Saturn — the husband and wife are ⟨both⟩ adulterous.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: दम्पती and जारौ are both dual: the ruling falls on the pair, not on one of them. जार is the paramour of another's spouse.

सप्तमे ज्ञे व्यभिचारी ।

saptame jñe vyabhicārī |

⟨When⟩ Mercury is in the 7th — an adulterer.

नीचारिमूढांशेऽङ्गपे वा द्यूनपे कलत्रान्तरभाक् ।

nīcārimūḍhāṃśe'ṅgape vā dyūnape kalatrāntarabhāk |

⟨When⟩ the lord of the lagna, or the lord of the 7th, is in an aṃśa of debilitation or of an enemy, or ⟨is⟩ combust — he obtains another wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मूढ is taken in its usual jyotiṣa sense of astaṅgata, combust; the compound नीचारिमूढांश holds all three states of the aṃśa. कलत्रान्तरभाक् is 'partaking of another wife' — a second wife or another man's wife are both within its reach, and neither language narrows it.

शुक्रेज्यौ सपापौ धनास्तारिगौ व्यभिचारी।

śukrejyau sapāpau dhanāstārigau vyabhicārī|

⟨When⟩ Venus and Jupiter, joined with malefics, occupy the 2nd, the 7th ⟨and⟩ the 6th — an adulterer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: धनास्तारिगौ is a dual: the two grahas between them occupy the 2nd, 7th and 6th, and the sūtra does not assign which to which.

लग्नपे सपापे व्यभिचारी।

lagnape sapāpe vyabhicārī|

⟨When⟩ the lord of the lagna is with malefics — an adulterer.

लग्नेशेऽङ्गे द्विभार्यो जारो वा ।

lagneśe'ṅge dvibhāryo jāro vā |

⟨When⟩ the lord of the lagna is in the 1st — ⟨he has⟩ two wives, or ⟨is⟩ a paramour.

पापयुक्तदृष्टे कण्टकचतुष्टये पशुगामी ।

pāpayuktadṛṣṭe kaṇṭakacatuṣṭaye paśugāmī |

⟨When⟩ the four kaṇṭakas (the kendras) are joined with and aspected by malefics — he couples with animals.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कण्टक is this literature's other word for kendra, the angle; चतुष्टय fixes the number at four.

सपापगुलिके मदे पशुगामी ।

sapāpagulike made paśugāmī |

⟨When⟩ Gulika, together with a malefic, is in the 7th — he couples with animals.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: गुलिक (Māndi) is kept untranslated; it is a computed sub-graha, not one of the seven.

मदेऽर्के सुखे भौमे पशुगामी ।

made'rke sukhe bhaume paśugāmī |

⟨When⟩ the Sun is in the 7th and Mars in the 4th — he couples with animals.

राहौ दारे सुखे आरे पशुगामी ।

rāhau dāre sukhe āre paśugāmī |

⟨When⟩ Rāhu is in the 7th and Mars in the 4th — he couples with animals.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: आर is Mars, as भौम is in the preceding sūtra; the ruling of K.57 is repeated with Rāhu in place of the Sun.

द्यूनेशे भौमर्क्षे शुक्रदृष्टे पशुगामी ।

dyūneśe bhaumarkṣe śukradṛṣṭe paśugāmī |

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 7th is in a sign of Mars and aspected by Venus — he couples with animals.

केन्द्रत्रये पापयुते पशुवन्मैथुनशीलः ।

kendratraye pāpayute paśuvanmaithunaśīlaḥ |

⟨When⟩ three kendras are joined with malefics — his coupling is that of a beast.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: केन्द्रत्रय is three kendras, against the four of K.55; the numbers are the printing's own and are kept apart.

भृग्वस्तेशौ भौमर्क्षे भगचुम्बनशीलः।

bhṛgvasteśau bhaumarkṣe bhagacumbanaśīlaḥ|

Venus (bhṛgu) and the lord of the 7th (asta) in a sign of Mars — ⟨the native⟩ is given to kissing the vulva (bhaga-cumbana).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bhagacumbanaśīla is rendered at its literal weight in 61–63: bhaga is the vulva, cumbana kissing, śīla the settled habit. The 1941 edition's own facing English euphemises it as being 'so extravagantly fond of his wife as to indulge in Bhagachumbana', which states no act at all; the Sanskrit names one.

कर्मेशे भौमभे शुक्रयुते मन्ददृष्टे भगचुम्बनशीलः ।

karmeśe bhaumabhe śukrayute mandadṛṣṭe bhagacumbanaśīlaḥ |

The lord of the 10th (karma) in a sign of Mars, joined with Venus and aspected by Saturn (manda) — ⟨the native⟩ is given to kissing the vulva.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print gives कमेंशे (kameṃśe), which is not a word: the OCR has lost one akṣara. Two restorations are possible — कर्मेशे, the lord of the 10th, and कामेशे, the lord of the 7th (काम = the 7th at sūtra 65 of this same viveka). The edition's own facing English reads 'the lord of the 10th house', and that reading is adopted here; the alternative would make the sūtra a near-repetition of 61. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads कर्मेशे; this sentence names kameṃśe and कमेंशे, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

लग्नेशे वा धनेशे नीचभांशेऽवले भगचुम्बनशीलः ।

lagneśe vā dhaneśe nīcabhāṃśe'vale bhagacumbanaśīlaḥ |

The lord of the lagna or the lord of the 2nd (dhana) in a debilitation sign or a debilitation navāṃśa, and weak — ⟨the native⟩ is given to kissing the vulva.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print reads चा between the two lords — a stray mātrā on च ('and'), or a misread वा ('or'). 'Or' is taken here, with the edition's English ('the lord of the 1st or the 2nd house'); on the reading च both lords are meant together. नीचभांशे = nīca-bha (debilitation sign) or its aṃśa.

यावन्तोऽधिकबला द्यूनगाः खगा द्यूनेशदृष्टा वा रन्ध्रे यावन्तः खेटा रन्ध्रेशदृष्टास्तावन्तो विवाहाः ।

yāvanto'dhikabalā dyūnagāḥ khagā dyūneśadṛṣṭā vā randhre yāvantaḥ kheṭā randhreśadṛṣṭāstāvanto vivāhāḥ |

However many grahas of superior strength stand in the 7th (dyūna) or are aspected by the lord of the 7th, and however many grahas stand in the 8th (randhra) aspected by the lord of the 8th — that many marriages.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: खग and खेट both mean graha here; the sūtra uses the two words for the same class in its two halves.

कामार्थेशौ नीचर्क्षगौ सौम्याः केन्द्रकोणगा एको विवाहः।

kāmārtheśau nīcarkṣagau saumyāḥ kendrakoṇagā eko vivāhaḥ|

The lords of the 7th (kāma) and the 2nd (artha) in debilitation signs, and benefics in kendras and trikoṇas — one marriage.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: काम = the 7th and अर्थ = the 2nd in this text's house-naming (the puruṣārtha scheme); this is the sūtra that settles it for the viveka.

वक्रार्कांशे ज्ञेज्यौ एको विवाहः ।

vakrārkāṃśe jñejyau eko vivāhaḥ |

Mercury (jña) and Jupiter (ijya) in the navāṃśas of Mars (vakra) and the Sun (arka) — one marriage.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वक्र is Mars here, not 'retrograde': it stands in a dvandva with अर्क as the owner of a navāṃśa, and a retrograde Sun is impossible.

ज्ञ इज्यांशे सप्तमे एको विवाहः ।

jña ijyāṃśe saptame eko vivāhaḥ |

Mercury in the 7th, in a navāṃśa of Jupiter — one marriage.

रन्ध्रेशेऽङ्गेऽस्ते द्विभार्यः।

randhreśe'ṅge'ste dvibhāryaḥ|

The lord of the 8th (randhra) in the 1st (aṅga) or in the 7th (asta) — two wives.

षष्ठेऽङ्गपे द्विभार्यः।

ṣaṣṭhe'ṅgape dvibhāryaḥ|

The lord of the lagna (aṅga) in the 6th — two wives.

धनेशे षष्ठे दारे पापे द्विभार्यः ॥

dhaneśe ṣaṣṭhe dāre pāpe dvibhāryaḥ ||

The lord of the 2nd (dhana) in the 6th, and a malefic in the 7th (dāra) — two wives.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print reads पष्ठे for षष्ठे — a scanner misread of the initial akṣara, not a variant; the sense is unaffected. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठे; this sentence names पष्ठे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

जायेशे शुभयुतेऽरिनीचगे सप्तमे पापे द्विभार्यः।

jāyeśe śubhayute'rinīcage saptame pāpe dvibhāryaḥ|

The lord of the 7th (jāyā), though joined with a benefic, in an enemy's sign or a debilitation sign, and a malefic in the 7th — two wives.

जायाकारके पापयुते वा नीचारिमूढांशे द्विभार्यः ।

jāyākārake pāpayute vā nīcārimūḍhāṃśe dvibhāryaḥ |

The significator of the wife (jāyā-kāraka, Venus) joined with a malefic, or in a debilitation, an enemy's, or a combust (mūḍha) navāṃśa — two wives.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मूढ in the dignity list नीच-अरि-मूढ is combustion (astaṅgata); the edition's English renders it 'eclipsed'. The same triad returns at 76.

पापाः सप्तमे द्विभार्यः ।

pāpāḥ saptame dvibhāryaḥ |

Malefics ⟨three or more⟩ in the 7th — two wives.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पापाः is plural, which in Sanskrit is three or more (two would be the dual पापौ); the supplied number is grammar, not interpretation. The same holds at 74 and 75.

धनगैः पापैर्धनेशादृष्टैः कलत्रत्रयम् ।

dhanagaiḥ pāpairdhaneśādṛṣṭaiḥ kalatratrayam |

Malefics ⟨three or more⟩ standing in the 2nd (dhana) and unaspected by the lord of the 2nd — three wives.

पापाः कलत्रे जायेशादृष्टाः कलत्रत्रयम् ।

pāpāḥ kalatre jāyeśādṛṣṭāḥ kalatratrayam |

Malefics ⟨three or more⟩ in the 7th (kalatra), unaspected by the lord of the 7th (jāyeśa) — three wives.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print reads पापा for पापाः; the plural is otherwise carried by the agreeing जायेशादृष्टाः.

लग्नार्थदाराः पापयुता दारेशे नीचारिमूढादौ कलत्रत्रयम्।

lagnārthadārāḥ pāpayutā dāreśe nīcārimūḍhādau kalatratrayam|

The 1st (lagna), the 2nd (artha) and the 7th (dāra) joined with malefics, and the lord of the 7th in debilitation, in an enemy's sign, combust, and so on — three wives.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नीचारिमूढादौ ends in ādi, 'and the like', so the list of impaired states is open rather than closed at three.

लग्ने उच्चग्रहे लग्नपे स्वोच्चगे वा बहुदाराः ।

lagne uccagrahe lagnape svoccage vā bahudārāḥ |

An exalted graha in the lagna, or the lord of the lagna in its own exaltation — many wives.

चन्द्राच्छौ बलिनौ युतौ बहुदाराः ।

candrācchau balinau yutau bahudārāḥ |

The Moon and Venus (accha), both strong and conjunct — many wives.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अच्छ ('clear, bright') stands for Venus throughout this printing — the same dvandva चन्द्राच्छौ occurs in at least eight sūtras across the book, and A.37 ('Saturn and Mercury are neuter, the Moon and accha female') and A.65 ('the Moon and accha are watery') fix the identification by elimination. Whether accha is the author's synonym for śukra ('bright') or a standing OCR corruption of a Venus-name cannot be settled from this file; the referent can.

यामित्रे बलिशुक्रदृष्टे बहुदाराः ।

yāmitre baliśukradṛṣṭe bahudārāḥ |

The 7th (yāmitra) aspected by a strong Venus — many wives.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: यामित्र is this printing's spelling of जामित्र, the 7th house.

सपापाः लग्नार्थारीशाः सप्तमे बहुदाराः।

sapāpāḥ lagnārthārīśāḥ saptame bahudārāḥ|

The lords of the lagna, of the 2nd (artha) and of the 6th (ari), accompanied by malefics, in the 7th — many wives.

दारेशे सौरे सपापे बहुदाराः।

dāreśe saure sapāpe bahudārāḥ|

The lord of the 7th (dāra) being Saturn (saura), and accompanied by a malefic — many wives.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सौरे is read in apposition to दारेशे — Saturn as lord of the 7th (so the edition's English). Read as a separate locative it would give 'the lord of the 7th with Saturn, and with a malefic'.

दारेशाद्विक्रमे बलिनि चन्द्रे बहुदाराः।

dāreśādvikrame balini candre bahudārāḥ|

A strong Moon in the 3rd (vikrama) from the lord of the 7th (dāra) — many wives.

स्वान्त्यपौ सोत्थगौ गुरुणा धर्मपेण वा दृष्टौ बहुदाराः।

svāntyapau sotthagau guruṇā dharmapeṇa vā dṛṣṭau bahudārāḥ|

The lords of the 2nd (sva) and the 12th (antya) standing in the 3rd (sottha), aspected by Jupiter or by the lord of the 9th (dharma) — many wives.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. सोत्थगौ is sottha-gau, 'standing in the 3rd'. The earlier note said the word 'is not a word and names no position', restored it conjecturally to सहजगौ, and said in terms that the house-number 'rests on the edition's English and not on the printed akṣaras'. It rests on the printed akṣaras. 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. स्व is the 2nd house, fixed by A.24, A.29 and A.30. 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.

दारपे केन्द्रकोणे शुभवर्गे कर्मपदृष्टे बलिनि बहुदाराः।

dārape kendrakoṇe śubhavarge karmapadṛṣṭe balini bahudārāḥ|

The lord of the 7th (dāra) in a kendra or a trikoṇa, in a benefic varga, aspected by the lord of the 10th (karma), and strong — many wives.

दारायपौ युतौ वान्योन्येक्षितौ बहुदाराः ।

dārāyapau yutau vānyonyekṣitau bahudārāḥ |

The lords of the 7th (dāra) and the 11th (āya) conjunct, or aspecting one another — many wives.

मदायेशौ बलिनौ कोणगौ बहुदाराः।

madāyeśau balinau koṇagau bahudārāḥ|

The lords of the 7th (mada) and the 11th (āya), strong and standing in trikoṇas — many wives.

दारेशांशपे सौम्ययुते पारावतादौ बलिनि शतस्त्रीगामी।

dāreśāṃśape saumyayute pārāvatādau balini śatastrīgāmī|

The lord of the navāṃśa ⟨occupied by⟩ the lord of the 7th (dāra), joined with a benefic, in Pārāvata or above, and strong — he goes with a hundred women.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पारावतादौ names a rung in the varga-dignity ladder (…gopura, siṃhāsana, pārāvata, devaloka…), so ādi here means Pārāvata and the ranks above it, not any set beginning elsewhere. शतस्त्रीगामी is rendered at its literal weight: 'one who goes to a hundred women'. सौम्ययुते is taken as 'joined with a benefic' (the class), as at 65; 'joined with Mercury' is the other possible reading of saumya.

द्यूनेशाद्गुरुचन्द्रौ स्त्री सुन्दरी ।

dyūneśādgurucandrau strī sundarī |

Jupiter and the Moon ⟨in the 7th⟩ from the lord of the 7th (dyūna) — the wife is beautiful.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The ablative द्यूनेशात् gives the point of reckoning but the print carries no word for the position reckoned from it; अस्ते ('in the 7th'), which sūtras 89, 90 and 91 all carry in the same frame, is supplied and marked. The edition's English instead reckons from the navāṃśa sign of the Ātmakāraka, which the Sanskrit of this sūtra does not say.

अंशादस्ते सौरे वयोधिका स्त्री।

aṃśādaste saure vayodhikā strī|

Saturn (saura) in the 7th (asta) from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa⟩ — the wife is advanced in years.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अंशात् says only 'from the aṃśa' — the navāṃśa lagna on the plain reading. The edition's English takes it in the Jaimini sense, the navāṃśa sign of the Ātmakāraka (kārakāṃśa); the Sanskrit does not choose between them. Same term at 90 and 91.

अंशादस्ते भौमे स्त्री विकलाङ्गी ।

aṃśādaste bhaume strī vikalāṅgī |

Mars in the 7th (asta) from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa⟩ — the wife is deformed in limb.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: विकलाङ्गी is defective or maimed in a limb; on अंशात् see 89.

ज्ञेऽस्तेऽंशात् कलावती स्त्री।

jñe'ste'ṃśāt kalāvatī strī|

Mercury in the 7th ⟨counted⟩ from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa rāśi⟩: the wife is accomplished in the arts (kalāvatī).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अंशात् is an ablative — 'reckoned FROM the aṃśa' — not 'in the aṃśa'. The reckoning is elliptical: the sūtra immediately preceding this run (K.90) fixes the same measuring point, and the edition's own facing English renders it 'the 7th house counted from the Navāṃśa Rāśi of the Ātmakāraka'; K.109 below uses the identical formula. The ātmakāraka is therefore carried over by anuvṛtti and is supplied here in brackets only as the reference point, not as a word in this sūtra.

ज्ञशिखिनौ लग्ने स्त्री रोगार्ता ।

jñaśikhinau lagne strī rogārtā |

Mercury and Ketu (śikhin) in the lagna (ascendant): the wife is afflicted by disease.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शिखिन् is Ketu in this text's graha-vocabulary. स्त्री throughout this viveka is the wife (the section is the saptama-viveka, on the 7th bhāva), not 'a woman' in general.

ज्ञारभगौ मन्दारौ वा लग्नगौ नासिकारोगवती स्त्री ।

jñārabhagau mandārau vā lagnagau nāsikārogavatī strī |

Mercury and Mars, or Saturn and Mars, standing in the lagna: the wife has a disease of the nose.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The first member is printed ज्ञारभगौ — ज्ञ (Mercury) and आर (Mars) are secure, but the extra element भग stands under a DUAL ending, where the parallel member मन्दारौ (Saturn + Mars) is a clean dvandva of two. Either भग is a scanner misreading (this OCR errs at the akṣara level by the profile's own declaration) or the first group is really three grahas — भग would then be Venus (bhṛgu) or the Sun — and the dual is then wrong. One exemplar cannot settle it; the archive OCR of the edition's facing English drops the page carrying K.91-93, so the translation is given on the two secure names only and the third element is left unrendered rather than guessed.

मदेशेऽम्बुगे वा दशमे स्त्री पतिव्रता ।

madeśe'mbuge vā daśame strī pativratā |

The lord of the 7th (mada) in the watery ⟨house, the 4th⟩, or in the 10th: the wife is devoted to her husband (pativratā).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मद = the 7th bhāva; अम्बुग 'gone to the water ⟨sign⟩' = the 4th bhāva. The edition's own English reads 'the 4th or the 10th', confirming the house-number sense of अम्बुग here.

जायेशेऽष्टमे सरोगा क्रोधिनी स्त्री ।

jāyeśe'ṣṭame sarogā krodhinī strī |

The lord of the 7th (jāyā) in the 8th: the wife is diseased and given to anger.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: जाया 'wife' is a 7th-bhāva synonym; जायेश = the 7th lord.

स्मरे मन्दज्ञौ पुनर्भूभार्यालाभः ।

smare mandajñau punarbhūbhāryālābhaḥ |

Saturn and Mercury in the 7th (smara): he obtains as wife a punarbhū ⟨a woman married once before⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: स्मर (Kāma) = the 7th bhāva. पुनर्भू is the technical term for a woman married a second time — a remarried widow or a woman returning to marriage; it is left in Sanskrit rather than flattened to 'widow'.

चन्द्रशनी कलत्रे पुनर्भूभार्यालाभः ।

candraśanī kalatre punarbhūbhāryālābhaḥ |

The Moon and Saturn in the 7th (kalatra): he obtains as wife a punarbhū.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कलत्र 'consort' = the 7th bhāva. The sūtra repeats K.96's apodosis verbatim for a different pair.

सप्तमेशांशसङ्ख्या नार्यः ।

saptameśāṃśasaṅkhyā nāryaḥ |

The women are as many as the number of the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa occupied⟩ by the lord of the 7th.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नार्यः is 'women', not 'wives'; the edition's own English glosses it 'the number of women kept in company by the native'. The count is the ORDINAL of the navāṃśa (1st to 9th) the 7th lord occupies — the number survives exactly as printed.

दारेशे वा कारके शुभयुतदृष्टे शुभान्तरे सुदारः ।

dāreśe vā kārake śubhayutadṛṣṭe śubhāntare sudāraḥ |

The lord of the 7th, or the kāraka ⟨Venus⟩, joined with or aspected by benefics, ⟨and⟩ set between benefics: he has a good wife (sudāra).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुभान्तरे = 'in the interval of benefics', i.e. hemmed between two benefics (śubha-kartarī); the edition's English reads 'or be betwixt benefics'. सुदारः is a bahuvrīhi of the native — 'he is one whose wife is good'.

जीवे सप्तमे स्वदाररतः ।

jīve saptame svadārarataḥ |

Jupiter in the 7th: ⟨the native⟩ is attached to his own wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: स्वदाररतः — 'delighting in his own wife'; the predicate is about the husband here, not the wife.

दारे शुभर्क्षे सुदारः।

dāre śubharkṣe sudāraḥ|

The 7th (dāra) being a benefic's sign: he has a good wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: दारे is the bhāva, not its lord (contrast दारेशे in K.99, 107); शुभर्क्षे = 'in/being a benefic's ṛkṣa (rāśi)'.

स्वोच्चे स्ववर्गे गोपुरादौ वा शुक्रे सुदारः।

svocce svavarge gopurādau vā śukre sudāraḥ|

Venus in his own exaltation, in his own varga, or in gopura and the rest ⟨of the vaiśeṣikāṃśas⟩: he has a good wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: गोपुरादौ = 'in gopura and so forth' — the named vaiśeṣikāṃśa dignities (pāriyātra, gopura, siṃhāsana, pāravata …) reckoned over the vargas; the edition's English reads 'has attained a Gopura or other Vaiseshikamsa'.

दारपे वा कारके गुरुयुतदृष्टे बलिनि स्त्री पतिव्रता ।

dārape vā kārake guruyutadṛṣṭe balini strī pativratā |

The lord of the 7th, or the kāraka, joined with or aspected by Jupiter and strong: the wife is devoted to her husband.

रवौ दारपे शुभदृष्टे स्त्री पतिव्रता ।

ravau dārape śubhadṛṣṭe strī pativratā |

The Sun ⟨being⟩ lord of the 7th and aspected by a benefic: the wife is devoted to her husband.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: रवौ दारपे is a locative absolute of identity — the Sun IS the 7th lord (so, an Aquarius lagna) — not the Sun placed in the 7th; the edition's English agrees ('If the Sun owns the 7th house').

द्यूनेशे भृगौ शुभदृष्टे स्त्री पतिव्रता ।

dyūneśe bhṛgau śubhadṛṣṭe strī pativratā |

Venus ⟨being⟩ lord of the 7th (dyūna) and aspected by a benefic: the wife is devoted to her husband.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: द्यून = the 7th bhāva. Same construction of identity as K.104: Venus owning the 7th (Aries or Scorpio lagna).

कलत्रे जीवे धर्मशीला पतिव्रता ।

kalatre jīve dharmaśīlā pativratā |

Jupiter in the 7th (kalatra): ⟨the wife is⟩ of righteous conduct and devoted to her husband.

दारेशे केन्द्रे शुभांशे शुभदृष्टयुते धर्मशीला पतिव्रता ।

dāreśe kendre śubhāṃśe śubhadṛṣṭayute dharmaśīlā pativratā |

The lord of the 7th in a kendra (an angle), in a benefic's aṃśa, aspected by and joined with benefics: ⟨the wife is⟩ of righteous conduct and devoted to her husband.

दारे गुरुदृष्टे सुशीला स्त्री।

dāre gurudṛṣṭe suśīlā strī|

The 7th (dāra) aspected by Jupiter: the wife is of good conduct.

2 notes on this verse
  • About this edition: SOURCE MARKUP DEFECT, recovered: in the e-text this sūtra's opening does not match the shape the other 2,269 use — a comma stands where the full stop after the number belongs. The aphorism itself is complete and its number legible, so nothing was emended; this is recorded only so that a reader comparing our text against the file is not left to work out why that line looked different. A parse that required the tidy shape would have dropped this sūtra and left a hole indistinguishable from a number the edition never printed.
  • About this edition: The e-text's markup defect flagged on this sūtra in the source profile (a comma standing where the full stop after the number belongs) touches only the line's opening punctuation; the aphorism itself is complete and nothing was emended.

अंशाद्दारे राहौ गृहे स्त्री विधवा ।

aṃśāddāre rāhau gṛhe strī vidhavā |

⟨With⟩ Rāhu in the 7th (dāra) from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa rāśi of the ātmakāraka⟩, the woman of the house is a widow.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: THE MŪLA IS DEFECTIVE HERE. The e-text prints अंशाहारे, which is not a word: अंशा- is legible, the rest is not. The edition's own facing English for this sūtra reads 'If Rahu occupy the 7th house reckoned from the Navāṃśa Rāśi of the Ātmakāraka, the woman in the house will lead the life of a widow', and the same measuring formula stands two sūtras before this run (K.90) and behind K.91 — so the printed Sanskrit almost certainly carried अंशात्मकारकाद्दारे (or its equivalent), of which the OCR retained only अंशा- and -ारे. What is secure in the file: राहौ (Rāhu), गृहे स्त्री विधवा ('the woman of the house is a widow'). What is supplied from the edition's English, NOT read off our Devanāgarī: the ātmakāraka as the reference point and the 7th as the place. This is the same exemplar as our text, so it is evidence about a misprint, never a second witness. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads अंशाद्दारे; this sentence names अंशाहारे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

षष्ठाष्टाङ्केशाः सपापाः पापदृष्टाः स्त्री जारिणी ।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭāṅkeśāḥ sapāpāḥ pāpadṛṣṭāḥ strī jāriṇī |

The lords of the 6th, the 8th and the 9th (aṅka), ⟨joined⟩ with malefics and aspected by malefics: the wife is an adulteress.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two readings decided here. (1) अङ्क is the number-word for NINE, so the compound names three lords — 6th, 8th, 9th — which is why the text has the plural ईशाः and not a dual; the edition's English confirms 'the lords of the 6th, the 8th and the 9th houses'. (2) सपायाः as printed is meaningless; it is one akṣara away from सपापाः 'accompanied by malefics', and the edition's English ('be conjoined with malefics and also be aspected by malefics') confirms that reading. Rendered accordingly, with the misprint left standing in the mūla. जारिणी is 'adulteress' at full weight — the edition says so too and it is not softened here. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सपापाः; this sentence names सपायाः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

अष्टमेशेऽष्टमे स्त्री जारिणी ।

aṣṭameśe'ṣṭame strī jāriṇī |

The lord of the 8th in the 8th: the wife is an adulteress.

मन्देऽस्ते कुदारः।

mande'ste kudāraḥ|

Saturn in the 7th (asta): he has a bad wife — she is of wicked disposition.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कुदारः is a bahuvrīhi of the native ('one whose wife is bad'); the edition renders its force onto the wife ('the wife will be wicked in disposition'). Both are given so the grammar is not lost. This apodosis recurs unchanged through K.117.

दारपांशेशे पापे कुदारः ।

dārapāṃśeśe pāpe kudāraḥ |

The lord of the aṃśa ⟨occupied⟩ by the lord of the 7th being a malefic: he has a bad wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: दारपांशेशे = dārapa-aṃśa-īśe, 'the lord of the navāṃśa of the 7th lord'; the edition's English agrees ('the owner of the Navamsa occupied by the lord of the 7th house').

क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे दारपे कुदारः ।

krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe dārape kudāraḥ |

The lord of the 7th in a malefic (krūra) ṣaṣṭyaṃśa: he has a bad wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: षष्ट्यंश — the sixtieth part of a rāśi, the ṣaṣṭyaṃśa varga; the division is named exactly and is not to be read as a navāṃśa.

नीचभांशे दारपे वा कारके कुदारः ।

nīcabhāṃśe dārape vā kārake kudāraḥ |

The lord of the 7th, or the kāraka, in the sign or aṃśa of debilitation: he has a bad wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नीचभांशे = nīca-bha-aṃśe, 'in the debilitation sign ⟨or⟩ aṃśa'; the edition's English reads 'in a depression Rasi or Navamsa'.

कलत्रपे रवौ पापभांशे पापयुतदृष्टे कुदारः ।

kalatrape ravau pāpabhāṃśe pāpayutadṛṣṭe kudāraḥ |

The Sun ⟨being⟩ lord of the 7th, in a malefic's sign or aṃśa, joined with or aspected by malefics: he has a bad wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints कलात्रपे with a stray long ā — a scanner-level misreading of कलत्रपे (kalatra-pa, 'lord of the 7th'), left standing in the text and translated as कलत्रपे. Same construction of identity as K.104: the Sun OWNS the 7th. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads कलत्रपे; this sentence names कलात्रपे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

दारपे चन्द्रे पापभांशे कुदारः ।

dārape candre pāpabhāṃśe kudāraḥ |

The Moon ⟨being⟩ lord of the 7th, in a malefic's sign or aṃśa: he has a bad wife.

चन्द्रेऽस्ते दासीसमा स्त्री।

candre'ste dāsīsamā strī|

The Moon in the 7th (asta): the wife is like a maidservant.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: दासीसमा — 'equal to a servant-woman'. The comparison is kept as the text makes it; the edition's English reads the same.

यमेऽङ्गे ऋक्षसन्धौ शुक्रेऽस्ते वन्ध्या स्त्री।

yame'ṅge ṛkṣasandhau śukre'ste vandhyā strī|

Saturn (Yama) in the lagna at a ṛkṣa-sandhi ⟨the junction of two constellations⟩, Venus in the 7th (asta): the wife is barren.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्ग 'the body' = the 1st bhāva, the lagna. Which member the ṛkṣa-sandhi qualifies is ambiguous in the Sanskrit and stays ambiguous in the Hindi word order; the edition's own commentary resolves it onto Saturn ('If Saturn be rising in a Riksha Sandhi and Venus be in the 7th house'), naming Āśleṣā 4, Jyeṣṭhā 4 and Revatī 4 as the three junctions meant. वन्ध्या is 'barren' and is not softened.

सोत्थेशाच्छौ षष्ठे षण्ढा स्त्री।

sottheśācchau ṣaṣṭhe ṣaṇḍhā strī|

The lord of the 3rd (sahottha) and Venus in the 6th: the wife is a ṣaṇḍhā ⟨sexually defective⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: THE MŪLA IS DEFECTIVE HERE, in two places. (1) The subject is printed सोत्थेशाच्छौ: सोत्थेश is 'the lord of the sah-uttha (co-born) bhāva' = the 3rd lord, and the -औ is a dual, so a second graha's name is buried in -च्छौ (the च्छ is what त् + श regularly becomes in sandhi, so the lost word began with श — सितौ/शुक्र, Venus, on the edition's own English: 'If the lord of the 3rd house and Venus occupy the 6th'). (2) पण्ढा is not a word; it is a misreading of षण्ढा (ṣaṇḍhā), a woman incapable of sexual union — the edition renders it 'a eunuch'. What is secure in the file: षष्ठे ('in the 6th'), the dual subject, and the apodosis. The graha name and the misprint are supplied from the edition's facing English — the same exemplar, so evidence about a misprint and not a second witness. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षण्ढा; this sentence names पण्ढा, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मदेशेऽबलेऽस्ते पापदृष्टयुते कलत्रान्तरभागी ।

madeśe'bale'ste pāpadṛṣṭayute kalatrāntarabhāgī |

When the lord of the 7th (mada) is weak, and the 7th (asta) is aspected by or joined with malefics, ⟨the native⟩ obtains another wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pāpa-dṛṣṭa-yuta is a dvandva: 'aspected by and joined with' is equally available; the sūtra does not mark which. kalatrāntara-bhāgī is literally 'one who partakes of another wife' — the idiom of sūtras 121–124.

धनेशेऽबलेऽर्थे पापयुतदृष्टे कलत्रान्तरभागी ।

dhaneśe'bale'rthe pāpayutadṛṣṭe kalatrāntarabhāgī |

When the lord of the 2nd (dhana) is weak, and the 2nd (artha) is joined with or aspected by malefics, ⟨the native⟩ obtains another wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The 2nd is treated here as a house of the household and the wife, alongside the 7th of 121 — the two sūtras are a matched pair.

सप्ताष्टमे पापे व्यये कुजे कलत्रान्तरभागी।

saptāṣṭame pāpe vyaye kuje kalatrāntarabhāgī|

When a malefic is in the 7th and the 8th, ⟨and⟩ Mars (kuja) in the 12th (vyaya), ⟨the native⟩ obtains another wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: saptāṣṭame is one locative of the compound '7th-and-8th' with pāpe singular, so whether one malefic in either house or malefics in both is meant is not marked; the Hindi keeps the compound intact.

नीचारिमूढांशेऽङ्गेशे वा दारपे कलत्रान्तरभागी ।

nīcārimūḍhāṃśe'ṅgeśe vā dārape kalatrāntarabhāgī |

When the lord of the lagna (aṅga) or the lord of the 7th (dāra) is in an aṃśa of debilitation, of an enemy, or of combustion, ⟨the native⟩ obtains another wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mūḍha here is the combust/eclipsed condition (astaṃgata), not 'dull'; nīca-ari-mūḍha are the three unfavourable dignities of the aṃśa.

दारपसन्निहितेऽङ्गपे बाल्ये विवाहः ।

dārapasannihite'ṅgape bālye vivāhaḥ |

When the lord of the lagna (aṅga) is placed close beside the lord of the 7th (dāra), marriage ⟨takes place⟩ in childhood.

लग्नाद्वास्तात् समीपे शुभे बाल्ये विवाहः ।

lagnādvāstāt samīpe śubhe bālye vivāhaḥ |

When a benefic is near the lagna, or near the 7th (asta), marriage ⟨takes place⟩ in childhood.

दारपे पारावतादौ सबले वा धनेशे तादृशे वा बाल्ये विवाहः।

dārape pārāvatādau sabale vā dhaneśe tādṛśe vā bālye vivāhaḥ|

When the lord of the 7th (dāra) is in Pārāvata ⟨aṃśa⟩ and the rest, and strong, or the lord of the 2nd (dhana) is likewise, marriage ⟨takes place⟩ in childhood.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Pārāvata is one of the vaiśeṣikāṃśa grades of daśavarga strength; 'pārāvatādau' means that grade and those above it. The printing reads विवाहा (vivāhā) without the visarga of vivāhaḥ — left as printed. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads विवाहः for विवाहा, 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.]

कारके वा कलत्रेशे सक्रूरे कोणे दूरदेशे विवाहः ।

kārake vā kalatreśe sakrūre koṇe dūradeśe vivāhaḥ |

When the kāraka ⟨Venus⟩ or the lord of the 7th (kalatra), joined with a malefic, is in a trikoṇa, marriage ⟨takes place⟩ in a distant country.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kāraka unqualified in a marriage sūtra is Venus, the significator of the wife (compare strīkāraka at 133).

दारपे सशुभे स्थूलस्तनी भार्या ।

dārape saśubhe sthūlastanī bhāryā |

When the lord of the 7th (dāra) is joined with a benefic, the wife has large breasts.

मदेशे सपापे स्त्री दीर्घभगा।

madeśe sapāpe strī dīrghabhagā|

When the lord of the 7th (mada) is joined with a malefic, the woman has a long vulva.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bhaga is the vulva; dīrgha is 'long, deep'. Sūtras 129–136 describe the wife's body plainly and are rendered plainly.

ज्ञेन्द्वर्कजर्क्षे मन्दे स्त्री ह्रस्वभगा।

jñendvarkajarkṣe mande strī hrasvabhagā|

When Saturn (manda) is in the sign of Mercury (jña), of the Moon (indu), or of Saturn (arkaja), the woman has a short vulva.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: arkaja and manda are both Saturn, so the third option is Saturn in his own sign; the sūtra is not corrupt in naming him twice.

जलर्क्षे दारपे स्त्री गुह्यार्द्रा ।

jalarkṣe dārape strī guhyārdrā |

When the lord of the 7th (dāra) is in a watery sign, the woman is moist in the private parts.

स्त्रीकारके वा दारेशे जलर्क्षे स्त्री गुह्यार्द्रा ।

strīkārake vā dāreśe jalarkṣe strī guhyārdrā |

When the significator of women ⟨Venus⟩ or the lord of the 7th (dāra) is in a watery sign, the woman is moist in the private parts.

दारे चन्द्रदृष्टे वा जलर्क्षे शुक्रे स्त्री गुह्यार्द्रा ।

dāre candradṛṣṭe vā jalarkṣe śukre strī guhyārdrā |

When the 7th (dāra) is aspected by the Moon, or Venus is in a watery sign, the woman is moist in the private parts.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printing has शुक्र (śukra) without a case-ending where the locative śukre is required by the construction; read as locative. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुक्रे; this sentence names śukra, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

जलभे ज्ञे मन्ददृष्टे स्त्री गुह्यार्द्रा ।

jalabhe jñe mandadṛṣṭe strī guhyārdrā |

When Mercury (jña) is in a watery sign and aspected by Saturn (manda), the woman is moist in the private parts.

सप्तमे चन्द्रे जलर्क्षांशे स्त्री गुह्यार्द्रा ।

saptame candre jalarkṣāṃśe strī guhyārdrā |

When the Moon is in the 7th, in the aṃśa of a watery sign, the woman is moist in the private parts.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: jalarkṣāṃśe is read as a tatpuruṣa, 'in the aṃśa (navāṃśa) of a watery sign'; a dvandva reading 'in a watery sign or aṃśa' is also open, and the Hindi keeps the compound.

लग्नेऽर्के मन्देऽस्ते जायानाशः ।

lagne'rke mande'ste jāyānāśaḥ |

When the Sun is in the lagna and Saturn (manda) in the 7th (asta), ⟨there is⟩ destruction of the wife.

पापान्तस्थास्फुजिद्रन्ध्रे वा सुखे जाया पाशेन नश्यति।

pāpāntasthāsphujidrandhre vā sukhe jāyā pāśena naśyati|

When Venus (āsphujit), standing between malefics, is in the 8th (randhra) or in the 4th (sukha), the wife perishes by the noose.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printing reads आस्फुचिद् for āsphujit (Venus) — an akṣara-level OCR misreading of jit; the graha is not in doubt, since Venus carries every other sūtra of this death-of-the-wife series. pāpāntastha is the hemmed position between malefics (pāpakartari). pāśa is the noose — hanging or strangling.

भृगुजे सपापे सौम्यैरदृष्टे अग्निदाहाज्जायानाशः।

bhṛguje sapāpe saumyairadṛṣṭe agnidāhājjāyānāśaḥ|

When Venus (bhṛguja) is joined with a malefic and unaspected by benefics, ⟨there is⟩ destruction of the wife by burning with fire.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: saumya is the benefic class here, not Mercury: the plural saumyaiḥ and the contrast with sapāpe fix it.

धर्मास्तात्मजगौ सितार्कौ जायाहीनः।

dharmāstātmajagau sitārkau jāyāhīnaḥ|

When Venus (sita) and the Sun (arka) are placed in the 9th (dharma), the 7th (asta) ⟨and⟩ the 5th (ātmaja), ⟨the native⟩ is without a wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two grahas are named against three houses and the dual -gau leaves unmarked which two of the three they occupy; the compound is preserved in both renderings rather than resolved.

चन्द्रादस्तेऽर्कजारौ सशुक्रौ जायाहीनः ।

candrādaste'rkajārau saśukrau jāyāhīnaḥ |

When Saturn (arkaja) and Mars (āra), together with Venus, are in the 7th (asta) from the Moon, ⟨the native⟩ is without a wife.

मन्देऽष्टमे षष्ठे भौमेऽस्ते राहौ भार्या न जीवति ।

mande'ṣṭame ṣaṣṭhe bhaume'ste rāhau bhāryā na jīvati |

When Saturn (manda) is in the 8th, Mars (bhauma) in the 6th, ⟨and⟩ Rāhu in the 7th (asta), the wife does not live.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printing reads पष्ठे for षष्ठे (ṣaṣṭhe, 'the 6th') — an OCR misreading of the initial akṣara, not a variant number; the house is not in doubt. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठे; this sentence names पष्ठे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

लग्ने नीचग्रहे लग्नेशे नीचगे वा दारनाशः।

lagne nīcagrahe lagneśe nīcage vā dāranāśaḥ|

When a debilitated graha is in the lagna, or the lord of the lagna is debilitated, ⟨there is⟩ destruction of the wife.

लग्ने राह्वर्कजौ लोकापवादाद्भार्यात्यागः ।

lagne rāhvarkajau lokāpavādādbhāryātyāgaḥ |

When Rāhu and Saturn (arkaja) are in the lagna, ⟨there is⟩ abandonment of the wife on account of public scandal.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: lokāpavāda is the world's reproach — public censure or scandal; the sūtra makes the abandonment its consequence, not the wife's conduct.

द्यूनेशेन वा कोशेशेन युतः शुक्रस्त्रिके यावत्क्रूरैर्दृष्टस्तावत्सङ्ख्या भार्यानाशः।

dyūneśena vā kośeśena yutaḥ śukrastrike yāvatkrūrairdṛṣṭastāvatsaṅkhyā bhāryānāśaḥ|

Venus, joined with the lord of the 7th (dyūna) or with the lord of the 2nd (kośa), ⟨standing⟩ in a trika — by as many malefics as he is aspected, that many wives perish.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: trika is the standard triad of evil houses, the 6th, 8th and 12th; the sūtra names it by the term alone and neither rendering expands it into the numbers. The count is the operative content: malefic aspects on Venus and dead wives are one to one.

लग्नाच्चन्द्राद्वा द्यूनं शुभेन स्वपतिना वा युतदृष्टं कलत्रसम्पत् ।

lagnāccandrādvā dyūnaṃ śubhena svapatinā vā yutadṛṣṭaṃ kalatrasampat |

When the 7th (dyūna) from the lagna or from the Moon is joined with or aspected by a benefic or by its own lord, ⟨there is⟩ prosperity in respect of the wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kalatra-sampat holds both 'an excellent wife' and 'wealth through the wife'; the Hindi keeps the compound and does not choose. The printing has लग्नाचन्द्राद्वा where the sandhi requires लग्नाच्चन्द्राद्वा — a dropped doubled akṣara, sense unaffected. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads लग्नाच्चन्द्राद्वा; this sentence names लग्नाचन्द्राद्वा, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

कन्याङ्गे सूर्ये झषे मन्दे जायानाशः ।

kanyāṅge sūrye jhaṣe mande jāyānāśaḥ |

When the Sun is in Virgo as the lagna (aṅga) and Saturn (manda) in Pisces (jhaṣa), ⟨there is⟩ destruction of the wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: jhaṣa is the fish, Pisces — the 7th from the Virgo lagna the sūtra has just set, so Saturn stands in the house of the wife.

शुक्रात्तुर्याष्टमगैः पापैर्भार्याया अग्निदाहः ।

śukrātturyāṣṭamagaiḥ pāpairbhāryāyā agnidāhaḥ |

When malefics are placed in the 4th (turya) and the 8th from Venus, ⟨there is⟩ burning of the wife by fire.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printing reads भार्यया (instrumental, 'together with the wife'), which is what both renderings carry. A genitive भार्यायाः — one mātrā away in this OCR — would give 'the wife's death by fire' and would match sūtra 139; the sense of the sūtra turns on that one mātrā and it is left as printed. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पापैर्भार्याया; this sentence names भार्यया, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-23: both plates were read by eye. The 1941 Sastri plate our text transcribes (jt-sastri-english PDF p.242, printed folio 234, sūtra १४८), at about 1.8x and 3.8x native, does set भार्यया. The 1915 Śrīnivāsa plate (jt-srinivasa-1915 PDF p.244, sūtra १५८), at about 4.0x and 7.2x native, sets भार्याया. The mūla now reads the genitive, on that plate, on the sandhi (an instrumental would fuse as भार्ययाग्निदाहः) and on the 1941's own English under the sūtra, 'the wife will die by fire'. It now matches sūtra 139, and both renderings give the wife's burning. Both plates also set शुक्रात्तुर्याष्टम- as our text does; neither sets the शुक्राच्चतुर्थ- of the machine reads.]

पापान्तरे शुक्रे उच्छ्रितपतनाज्जायानाशः ।

pāpāntare śukre ucchritapatanājjāyānāśaḥ |

When Venus stands between malefics, ⟨there is⟩ destruction of the wife by a fall from a height.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ucchrita is 'raised up, elevated' — the fall is from a high place, not a stumble.

सद्योगदृग्घीने शुक्रे पाशेन भार्यानाशः।

sadyogadṛgghīne śukre pāśena bhāryānāśaḥ|

When Venus is devoid of good conjunction and aspect, ⟨there is⟩ destruction of the wife by the noose.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sad-yoga-dṛg-hīna: deprived of both benefic conjunction and benefic aspect.

षष्ठेशाच्छौ युतौ भार्याविपत् ।

ṣaṣṭheśācchau yutau bhāryāvipat |

The lord of the 6th and Venus (accha), conjoined: calamity to the wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08. The earlier note said "it prints षष्ठेशाच्छौ (ṣaṣṭheśācchau), and -acchau resolves to no word … Venus is therefore supplied in ⟨…⟩ on the edition's authority, not read off this Sanskrit. Only the plate can settle the akṣaras." That was false, and it shipped. -acchau resolves perfectly: it is the dvandva ṣaṣṭheśa + accha. 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, A.38 ज्ञाच्छौ राजसौ, A.50 सूर्यस्य मन्दाच्छौ रिपू, A.54 जीवस्य ज्ञाच्छावरी, A.56 मन्दस्य ज्ञाच्छौ सुहृदौ, A.65 चन्द्राच्छौ सजलौ — and each of the six is the standard table with Venus in the remaining slot. It was ruled and recorded across this corpus on 2026-09-08. It is also on the ink: the 1941 plate at page index 88 sets भान्वच्छयुतौ at C.244 and चन्द्राच्छौ at C.247, with the facing English "the Sun and Venus" and "the Moon and Venus". Nothing is supplied here and no plate is needed. The remark about आस्फुचिद् / आस्फुजित् at sūtra 138 stands on its own and is unaffected.

सुतेशे दारे दारपे सपापे शुक्रेऽबले गर्भनिमित्तभार्यानाशः।

suteśe dāre dārape sapāpe śukre'bale garbhanimittabhāryānāśaḥ|

The lord of the 5th (suteśa) in the 7th (dāra), the lord of the 7th (dārapa) joined with a malefic, and Venus without strength: destruction of the wife on account of pregnancy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: garbha-nimitta is 'by reason of pregnancy' — the mūla names the cause, not the event; it does not itself say whether the death is in childbirth or in miscarriage.

सुखे नीचगे शुक्रे वा चन्द्रे दारनाशः ।

sukhe nīcage śukre vā candre dāranāśaḥ |

Venus or the Moon in the 4th (sukha), debilitated: destruction of the wife.

दारेशे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे दारनाशः ।

dāreśe krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe dāranāśaḥ |

The lord of the 7th (dāreśa) in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa ⟨sixtieth part⟩: destruction of the wife.

मन्दारराहुकेत्वन्यतमे दारे स्त्रीशरीरे पिशाचपीडा ।

mandārarāhuketvanyatame dāre strīśarīre piśācapīḍā |

Any one of Saturn, Mars, Rāhu or Ketu in the 7th (dāra): affliction by piśācas ⟨goblins⟩ in the woman's body.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मन्दार is the dvandva manda + āra (Saturn and Mars), not the mandāra tree; anyatama makes the list disjunctive — any one of the four suffices. strī-śarīre is 'in the woman's body', the wife of the surrounding sūtras.

निद्रां गते पापेऽस्ते पापपीडिते दारनाशः ।

nidrāṃ gate pāpe'ste pāpapīḍite dāranāśaḥ |

A malefic gone into the nidrā ⟨avasthā, sleep⟩, standing in the 7th (asta) and afflicted by a malefic: destruction of the wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: nidrā is one of the twelve avasthās, not ordinary sleep — sūtras 159 and 160 name two more of the same set (prakāśa, netrapāṇi), which is what fixes the reading here. The locatives could alternatively be split into two independent conditions (a malefic in nidrā anywhere, and the 7th afflicted); the edition's own English keeps them on one graha, as rendered.

शुक्रज्ञौ द्यूने दारहानिः ।

śukrajñau dyūne dārahāniḥ |

Venus and Mercury in the 7th (dyūna): loss of the wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla reads dāra-haniḥ (√han, 'to strike down'), not hāni 'loss' and not nāśa; 158 carries the agent noun of the same root, dāra-hantā. Rendered at the weight of the root. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads दारहानिः; this sentence names haniḥ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads दारहानिः for दारहनिः, and that is hāni, 'loss', not a form of √han: the 2026-09-20 lexicon row finds हनि no Sanskrit noun, and both renderings say loss of the wife. The root reading above is superseded.]

चन्द्रेऽन्त्ये शुक्रेऽस्ते दारहन्ता ।

candre'ntye śukre'ste dārahantā |

The Moon in the last house (antya, the 12th) and Venus in the 7th (asta): ⟨the native is⟩ a slayer of his wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dārahantā is an agent noun with the native as its subject — he kills her, which is not the same claim as the wife's death in 153–157. The edition's English agrees ('the native will kill his own wife'). Read adjectivally the combination would merely be 'destructive of the wife'; the -tṛ form is against that.

द्यूनेऽर्के प्रकाशे जायानाशः।

dyūne'rke prakāśe jāyānāśaḥ|

The Sun in the 7th (dyūna) in the prakāśa ⟨avasthā⟩: destruction of the wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: prakāśa here is the avasthā of that name, not 'in the open' — cf. 156 (nidrā) and 160 (netrapāṇi).

भौमेऽस्ते नेत्रपाणौ जायानाशः।

bhaume'ste netrapāṇau jāyānāśaḥ|

Mars in the 7th (asta) in the netrapāṇi ⟨avasthā⟩: destruction of the wife.

शुक्रान्मदे पापे वा सपापे शुक्रे स्त्रीसुखं न ।

śukrānmade pāpe vā sapāpe śukre strīsukhaṃ na |

A malefic in the 7th (mada) from Venus, or Venus joined with a malefic: no happiness of the wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: strī-sukham is left two-way in the Hindi as the compound leaves it — the happiness the wife gives and the happiness she has are both available; English must pick a side, and 'of the wife' is the weaker resolution.

वक्रग्रहर्क्षे शुक्रे कामिन्यारते तोषकृत् ।

vakragraharkṣe śukre kāminyārate toṣakṛt |

Venus in the sign (ṛkṣa) of a retrograde graha: in love-making ⟨rata⟩ he is a giver of satisfaction to the woman.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वक्र is Mars as well as 'retrograde' (glossary). Here it qualifies graha in a compound with ṛkṣa — 'the sign of the retrograde graha' — and the edition reads it that way; taken as Mars the phrase would name Meṣa or Vṛścika and the sūtra would say something quite different, so the choice is load-bearing. kāminī is 'a passionate woman', not necessarily the wife.

लग्नेशः स्वर्क्षगं सप्तमस्थं शुक्रं पश्यति चेत् कामिनीतोषकृत् ।

lagneśaḥ svarkṣagaṃ saptamasthaṃ śukraṃ paśyati cet kāminītoṣakṛt |

If the lord of the lagna aspects Venus standing in the 7th in his own sign (svarkṣaga): a giver of satisfaction to women.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: svarkṣaga is Venus's own sign, so the 7th is Tulā or Vṛṣabha and the lagna Meṣa or Vṛścika — which makes the aspecting lagna-lord Mars in either case. The edition's commentary says as much.

भौमात्खे सुखे वा मन्दचन्द्रौ कामिनीतोषकृत् ।

bhaumātkhe sukhe vā mandacandrau kāminītoṣakṛt |

Saturn and the Moon in the 10th (kha) or the 4th (sukha) from Mars: a giver of satisfaction to women.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kha ('sky') is the 10th; the reckoning is from Mars, not from the lagna.

तुलांशे वाणिज्यवान् ।

tulāṃśe vāṇijyavān |

In the aṃśa of Tulā: ⟨he is⟩ possessed of trade.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla names no subject at all — only 'in the Tulā aṃśa'. The edition's facing English supplies 'the navāṃśa of the ātmakāraka'; that word is nowhere in the Sanskrit of 165–167 and is not carried into the rendering. Which aṃśa (navāṃśa is the default reading) and whose is unstated here.

सौम्येंशे वा कर्कांशे वाणिज्यवान् ।

saumyeṃśe vā karkāṃśe vāṇijyavān |

In the aṃśa of Saumya (Mercury) or the aṃśa of Karka: ⟨he is⟩ possessed of trade.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: saumya is Mercury here, not the benefic class — it stands in a list with two rāśi names (Tulā in 165, Karka here), and the edition reads Mercury. Subject unstated as in 165.

ज्ञारयोगे वाणिज्यवान् ।

jñārayoge vāṇijyavān |

In the yoga ⟨conjunction⟩ of Mercury and Mars: ⟨he is⟩ possessed of trade.

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 सप्तमविवेकः॥”
  • About this edition: jñārayoga is the dvandva jña (Mercury) + āra (Mars) in yoga; yoga here is conjunction, not a named combination. The section's colophon follows — ॥ इति सप्तमविवेकः॥, 'thus ends the seventh viveka' — carrying no number and so not a sūtra.

Adhyāya 12 · L. अथ अष्टमविवेकः

सुते चन्द्रे गुरौ कोणे खे भौमे दीर्घायुः।

sute candre gurau koṇe khe bhaume dīrghāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ the Moon is in the 5th, Jupiter in a trikoṇa, ⟨and⟩ Mars in the 10th — long life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सुत = the 5th house and ख (kha, 'sky') = the 10th, per this text's usual house-words; कोण here is the trikoṇa (1/5/9). This viveka's whole vocabulary of verdicts is दीर्घायु / मध्यायु / अल्पायु — long, middling and short life — and they are rendered so throughout.

रन्ध्रेशे पापे लाभेऽल्पायुरन्यथा दीर्घायुः ।

randhreśe pāpe lābhe'lpāyuranyathā dīrghāyuḥ |

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 8th, ⟨being⟩ a malefic, is in the 11th — short life; otherwise, long life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: रन्ध्र = the 8th house, लाभ = the 11th. The three bare locatives (रन्ध्रेशे पापे लाभे) read equally well as 'the lord of the 8th together with a malefic in the 11th'; the Sanskrit does not decide between the two, and the Hindi keeps both open by simply chaining the conditions.

रन्ध्रेशे स्वर्क्षे वा मन्देऽष्टे दीर्घायुः।

randhreśe svarkṣe vā mande'ṣṭe dīrghāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 8th is in his own sign, or Saturn is in the 8th — long life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मन्द = Saturn (glossary row अर्कि / मन्द / सौर / शनैश्चर).

रन्ध्राङ्गखेशाः केन्द्रकोणलाभगा दीर्घायुः।

randhrāṅgakheśāḥ kendrakoṇalābhagā dīrghāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ the lords of the 8th, of the 1st and of the 10th are placed in a kendra, a trikoṇa or the 11th — long life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्ग ('the body') = the 1st house, i.e. the lagna; it is this viveka's standing word for it (sūtras 6, 9, 12, 15, 24, 26).

मन्दे स्वर्क्षोच्चे उपचये वा रन्ध्रपे मन्दे सुते दीर्घायुः ।

mande svarkṣocce upacaye vā randhrape mande sute dīrghāyuḥ |

⟨When⟩ Saturn is in his own sign or exalted, or in an upacaya; ⟨and when⟩ the lord of the 8th, ⟨being⟩ Saturn, is in the 5th — long life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: उपचय = the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th houses. The second clause (रन्ध्रपे मन्दे सुते) is three singular locatives and can as well be read 'the lord of the 8th and Saturn in the 5th'; the Hindi chain leaves that open, the English had to choose.

रन्ध्राङ्गपौ रन्ध्रे लाभे वा दीर्घायुः ।

randhrāṅgapau randhre lābhe vā dīrghāyuḥ |

⟨When⟩ the lords of the 8th and of the 1st are in the 8th, or in the 11th — long life.

षष्ठान्त्यपौ लग्ने वा कर्मपे केन्द्रे वा लग्नपे दीर्घायुः ।

ṣaṣṭhāntyapau lagne vā karmape kendre vā lagnape dīrghāyuḥ |

⟨When⟩ the lords of the 6th and the 12th are in the lagna, or the lord of the 10th is in a kendra, or the lord of the lagna ⟨is so placed⟩ — long life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: पष्ठान्त्यपौ stands for षष्ठान्त्यपौ — the same term is spelt षष्ठे correctly at sūtras 11, 16, 18, 22 and 29 of this viveka, which settles it. अन्त्य ('the last') = the 12th house. The closing लग्नपे is a bare locative with no place named: 'in a kendra' is carried over from the clause before it. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठान्त्यपौ; this sentence names पष्ठान्त्यपौ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

कर्मपे सुते स्वोच्चे वा रन्ध्रेशे केन्द्रे वा चतुरस्त्रे शुभेषु दीर्घायुः।

karmape sute svocce vā randhreśe kendre vā caturastre śubheṣu dīrghāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 10th is in the 5th or in his own exaltation, ⟨and⟩ the lord of the 8th is in a kendra or in a caturasra, with the benefics ⟨so placed⟩ — long life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: चतुरस्र ('four-cornered') = the 4th and 8th houses. शुभेषु is a bare locative plural — 'the benefics ⟨being so placed⟩', or possibly 'in benefic ⟨signs⟩'; the sūtra does not say which, and both languages keep it in ⟨⟩ for that reason.

सभानुजैः खाङ्गाष्टमपैः केन्द्रे दीर्घायुः ।

sabhānujaiḥ khāṅgāṣṭamapaiḥ kendre dīrghāyuḥ |

⟨When⟩ the lords of the 10th, of the 1st and of the 8th, together with Saturn, are in a kendra — long life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: भानुज, 'the son of Bhānu ⟨the Sun⟩' = Saturn; the same graha is called अर्कज at sūtras 21 and 22 and मन्द elsewhere in this viveka.

पापास्त्र्यायारिगाः शुभाः केन्द्रकोणे दीर्घायुः।

pāpāstryāyārigāḥ śubhāḥ kendrakoṇe dīrghāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ malefics are placed in the 3rd, the 11th and the 6th, ⟨and⟩ benefics in a kendra or a trikoṇa — long life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: the file reads पापास्च्यायारिगाः. The syllable च्या almost certainly stands for त्र्या, giving पापास्त्र्यायारिगाः — malefics in the 3rd, the 11th and the 6th, the standard triad which the very next sūtra names in full as त्रिषष्ठाये. Rendered here WITHOUT the 3rd, because that is what the exemplar prints; the 3rd is the likely missing member and a plate check is owed. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पापास्त्र्यायारिगाः; this sentence names पापास्च्यायारिगाः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-10-02: the renderings now name the 3rd, the 11th and the 6th. The plate check asked for here is answered by the 2026-09-20 lexicon ruling (स्च्या is no cluster; 12.11 names the triad), which the mūla पापास्त्र्यायारिगाः follows.]

षष्ठाष्टमे सप्तमे शुभाः पापास्त्रिषष्टाये दीर्घायुः।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame saptame śubhāḥ pāpāstriṣaṣṭāye dīrghāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ benefics are in the 6th, the 8th and the 7th, ⟨and⟩ malefics in the 3rd, the 6th and the 11th — long life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: त्रिषष्ठाय = the 3rd, 6th and 11th. OCR: त्रिषष्टाये for त्रिषष्ठाये (ट for ठ). The verse is not softened: it does place the benefics in the 6th and 8th, which is where this text wants them for length of life.

रन्ध्रपेऽङ्गे शुक्रेज्यदृष्टे दीर्घायुः ।

randhrape'ṅge śukrejyadṛṣṭe dīrghāyuḥ |

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 8th is in the 1st, aspected by Venus and Jupiter — long life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: इज्य ('he to whom offering is made') = Jupiter.

शुभाः केन्द्रकोणे पापाः पारावते दीर्घायुः ।

śubhāḥ kendrakoṇe pāpāḥ pārāvate dīrghāyuḥ |

⟨When⟩ benefics are in a kendra or a trikoṇa, ⟨and⟩ malefics in pārāvata ⟨aṃśa⟩ — long life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पारावत is not a house-name: it is a varga-dignity designation of the daśavarga/ṣoḍaśavarga scale (पारिजात, उत्तम, गोपुर, सिंहासन, पारावत, देवलोक …), so the clause says that malefics holding that grade of divisional dignity do not cut life short. This is a reading, not a certainty — the word occurs once, in one OCR exemplar, and only the 1941 plates can settle it. The word is therefore left standing in both renderings.

पापाः पणफरतुर्यत्रिस्था मध्यायुः।

pāpāḥ paṇapharaturyatristhā madhyāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ malefics are placed in the paṇaphara houses, in the 4th and in the 3rd — middling life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पणफर = the succedent houses 2, 5, 8, 11; तुर्य ('the fourth') = the 4th; त्रि = the 3rd. The 4th is a kendra, not a paṇaphara — the compound simply lists three placements side by side.

अङ्गेशेऽबले जीवे केन्द्रकोणत्रिके पापे मध्यायुः।

aṅgeśe'bale jīve kendrakoṇatrike pāpe madhyāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 1st and Jupiter are weak, ⟨and⟩ a malefic is in a kendra, a trikoṇa or a trika — middling life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: त्रिक = the 6th, 8th and 12th houses. The locative chain admits a second parse — 'the lagna-lord weak, Jupiter in a kendra, trikoṇa or trika, ⟨and⟩ a malefic ⟨with him⟩'. Sūtra 24 of this same viveka pairs exactly these two elements (त्रिके पापे ऽङ्गेशे ऽबले), which is why 'a malefic in a trika' + 'the lagna-lord weak' is taken here. The Hindi keeps जीव's predicate in ⟨⟩ so the other reading is still visible.

शुभे केन्द्रकोणे मन्दे बलिनि षष्ठेऽष्टमे वा पापे मध्यायुः।

śubhe kendrakoṇe mande balini ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame vā pāpe madhyāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ a benefic is in a kendra or a trikoṇa, Saturn is strong, ⟨and⟩ a malefic is in the 6th or the 8th — middling life.

त्रिकोणे केन्द्रे वा मिश्रा मध्यायुः।

trikoṇe kendre vā miśrā madhyāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ mixed ⟨grahas — benefic and malefic together⟩ are in a trikoṇa or a kendra — middling life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मिश्राः, 'mixed', is the class-word: benefics and malefics standing together. The sūtra names no grahas, and neither rendering supplies any.

सपापे रन्ध्रेशेऽन्त्ये षष्ठे वाल्पायुः।

sapāpe randhreśe'ntye ṣaṣṭhe vālpāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 8th, joined with a malefic, is in the 12th or the 6th — short life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सपाप, 'having a malefic ⟨with him⟩' — rendered 'joined with' per the glossary's युत row. अन्त्य = the 12th.

पापा आपोक्लिमस्था अल्पायुः।

pāpā āpoklimasthā alpāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ malefics are placed in the āpoklima houses — short life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: आपोक्लिम = the cadent houses 3, 6, 9, 12.

लग्नाष्टमेशौ व्ययारिगौ वाल्पायुः ।

lagnāṣṭameśau vyayārigau vālpāyuḥ |

⟨When⟩ the lords of the lagna and of the 8th are placed in the 12th or the 6th — short life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: व्यय = the 12th, अरि = the 6th. वा distributes the two dual compounds over each other: the sūtra does not assign one lord to one house.

धनेशेऽङ्केऽस्तेऽर्कजे लाभे इज्याच्छौ अल्पायुः ।

dhaneśe'ṅke'ste'rkaje lābhe ijyācchau alpāyuḥ |

The lord of the 2nd (dhaneśa) in the 9th (aṅka), Saturn (arkaja) in the 7th (asta), and Jupiter (ijya) and Venus (accha) in the 11th (lābha) — short life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08, in three places. (1) अङ्के is the NINTH house, not a scanner's misreading of अङ्गे: अङ्क is the number-word for nine and this book uses it that way at B.2 and Q.36–Q.40. The earlier note asserted the opposite and put the 2nd lord in the lagna. (2) The locatives distribute धनेशे अङ्के · अस्ते अर्कजे · लाभे इज्याच्छौ, so Saturn is in the SEVENTH, not the eleventh; the earlier reading detached अस्ते from अर्कजे. (3) इज्याच्छौ is ijya + accha, Jupiter and Venus, which the earlier note called 'not a Sanskrit word' and restored conjecturally to इज्याज्ञौ (Jupiter and Mercury), then said the pair's house was lost. Its house is लाभे and it is printed. 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'.

लग्नेऽर्कजारौ चन्द्रो रन्ध्रगः षष्ठे जीवेऽल्पायुः ।

lagne'rkajārau candro randhragaḥ ṣaṣṭhe jīve'lpāyuḥ |

⟨When⟩ Saturn and Mars are in the lagna, the Moon is placed in the 8th, ⟨and⟩ Jupiter is in the 6th — short life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: आर = Mars, जीव = Jupiter, अर्कज = Saturn (glossary).

लग्नेशेऽष्टमेऽल्पायुः।

lagneśe'ṣṭame'lpāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ the lord of the lagna is in the 8th — short life.

त्रिके पापेऽङ्गेशेऽबलेऽल्पायुः।

trike pāpe'ṅgeśe'bale'lpāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ a malefic is in a trika, ⟨and⟩ the lord of the 1st is weak — short life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: त्रिक = the 6th, 8th and 12th houses.

क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे मन्दरन्ध्रेशौ सपापौ पापदृष्टौ वाल्पायुः।

krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe mandarandhreśau sapāpau pāpadṛṣṭau vālpāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ Saturn and the lord of the 8th are in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, joined with malefics or aspected by malefics — short life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: षष्ट्यंश = the sixtieth part of a rāśi; this text's own sūtra A.22 names all sixty and marks which are क्रूर. क्रूर here is the class of the ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, not a graha. OCR: रन्धेशौ for रन्ध्रेशौ. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads मन्दरन्ध्रेशौ; this sentence names रन्धेशौ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

पापे केन्द्रे शुभदृग्घीनेऽङ्गेशेऽबलेऽल्पायुः ।

pāpe kendre śubhadṛgghīne'ṅgeśe'bale'lpāyuḥ |

⟨When⟩ a malefic is in a kendra devoid of benefic aspect, ⟨and⟩ the lord of the 1st is weak — short life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुभदृग्हीन, 'devoid of benefic aspect'. The privation attaches to the malefic in the kendra, not to the kendra itself. [2026-09-30: the mūla now reads शुभदृग्घीने. The 1941 leaf (PDF p.248, folio 240) was read by eye on 2026-09-23 at about 3.0x native and carries घ after the half-ग; it is the same compound, दृश् + हीन, with ह voiced to घ after the stop. शुभदृग्हीन above names the form our text held from 2026-09-20 until this date.]

व्ययार्थगौ पापौ शुभदृग्घीनावल्पायुः।

vyayārthagau pāpau śubhadṛgghīnāvalpāyuḥ|

⟨When⟩ two malefics are placed in the 12th and the 2nd, devoid of benefic aspect — short life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अर्थ = the 2nd house. The duals — पापौ, शुभदृग्हीनौ, व्ययार्थगौ — fix the number at two, and both renderings say so. [2026-09-30: the mūla now reads शुभदृग्घीनावल्पायुः. The 1941 leaf (PDF p.249, folio 241) was read by eye on 2026-09-23 at about 3.5x native and writes the compound दृग्घीन; the dual शुभदृग्हीनौ above is the same word in its unsandhied spelling, and the analysis stands.]

मन्दार्काराः षष्ठेऽष्टमे वर्षान्तरे मृतिः ।

mandārkārāḥ ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame varṣāntare mṛtiḥ |

⟨When⟩ Saturn, the Sun and Mars are in the 6th and the 8th — death within the year.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वर्षान्तरे = 'within the space of a year'. No वा stands between the two houses, so 'in the 6th or the 8th' is equally available; three grahas over two houses is what the sūtra names. मृति is rendered at its weight — death, not danger.

लग्ने राहुः षष्ठाष्टमे चन्द्रे सद्यो मृतिः ।

lagne rāhuḥ ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame candre sadyo mṛtiḥ |

⟨When⟩ Rāhu is in the lagna ⟨and⟩ the Moon is in the 6th or the 8th — immediate death.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सद्यो मृतिः — 'death at once'. Not softened.

सूर्यर्क्षे मन्दे मन्दर्क्षेऽर्केऽर्काब्दे मृतिः ।

sūryarkṣe mande mandarkṣe'rke'rkābde mṛtiḥ |

⟨When⟩ Saturn is in the Sun's sign and the Sun in Saturn's sign — death in the Sun's year.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: 'मन्दे म देर्क्षे' is मन्दे मन्देर्क्षे with the न lost and a space opened inside the word; the sūtra states a mutual exchange (parivartana) of Sun and Saturn — Saturn in Siṃha, the Sun in Makara or Kumbha. अर्काब्दे is taken as 'in the Sun's year'; अर्क is also the number-word for twelve, so 'in the twelfth year' cannot be ruled out from a single exemplar, and the Hindi keeps अर्काब्द itself standing. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads मन्दर्क्षेऽर्केऽर्काब्दे; this sentence names देर्क्षे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

चन्द्रार्कौ षष्ठे वाष्टमे सिंहान्मृतिः ।

candrārkau ṣaṣṭhe vāṣṭame siṃhānmṛtiḥ |

The Moon and the Sun in the 6th, or in the 8th: death from a lion.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints चन्द्राकौं for चन्द्रार्कौ (candrārkau, 'the Moon and the Sun'); the dual is not in doubt. वा joins the two placements as alternatives, not as a pair of houses to be occupied together. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads चन्द्रार्कौ; this sentence names चन्द्राकौं, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

तुर्ये भौमे खेऽर्कजे सिंहान्मृतिः ।

turye bhaume khe'rkaje siṃhānmṛtiḥ |

Mars in the 4th (turya) and Saturn (arkaja) in the 10th (kha): death from a lion.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: तुर्य is 'the fourth' and ख ('sky') the 10th. The 1941 edition's own facing English reads 'Mars be in the 11th house' — that number is wrong against its own Sanskrit; rendered here from the mūla.

राह्वच्छौ खे सर्पान्मृतिः ।

rāhvacchau khe sarpānmṛtiḥ |

Rāhu and Venus (accha) in the 10th: death from a snake.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अच्छ ('the clear, translucent one') as a name for Venus is unusual; the edition's own English identifies it as Venus here and at L.50, and it sits in the same synonym field as सित ('the white one').

राह्वर्कावंशे पापेक्षितौ सर्पान्मृतिः ।

rāhvarkāvaṃśe pāpekṣitau sarpānmṛtiḥ |

Rāhu and the Sun in the aṃśa ⟨the divisional sign⟩, aspected by malefics: death from a snake.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अंश is bare in the sūtra. The edition's English supplies the commentary's reference: the navāṃśa rāśi of the ātmakāraka. Nothing in the Sanskrit names either the division or the kāraka, so the supplement is kept out of the line.

खेऽर्के सुखे भौमे मन्देऽष्टमे सर्पान्मृतिः।

khe'rke sukhe bhaume mande'ṣṭame sarpānmṛtiḥ|

The Sun in the 10th, Mars in the 4th (sukha), Saturn in the 8th: death from a snake.

कुजार्कजावङ्गे चाष्टमे चन्द्रे शस्त्रान्मृतिः ।

kujārkajāvaṅge cāṣṭame candre śastrānmṛtiḥ |

Mars and Saturn in the 1st (aṅga, the lagna) and the Moon in the 8th: death by a weapon.

जीवारौ खेऽर्के द्यूने श्वदंशनान्मृतिः ।

jīvārau khe'rke dyūne śvadaṃśanānmṛtiḥ |

Jupiter and Mars in the 10th, the Sun in the 7th (dyūna): death from the bite of a dog.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: द्यून is the 7th house. The edition's own English gives 'the Sun in the 4th' — again a number that does not answer to its Sanskrit; the mūla is followed here.

द्वादशांशे खे सुखे सूर्ये राजगेहे मृतिः ।

dvādaśāṃśe khe sukhe sūrye rājagehe mṛtiḥ |

The dvādaśāṃśa ⟨of the significator⟩ falling in the 10th, and the Sun in the 4th: death in a king's house.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The compressed sūtra reads only 'in the dvādaśāṃśa, in the 10th, in the 4th, the Sun'. The edition takes kha as the place of the ātmakāraka's dvādaśāṃśa and puts the Sun alone in the 4th, which is the reading followed here; a bare reading of the Sanskrit ('the Sun in the 10th or the 4th of the dvādaśāṃśa') is also possible.

कुजेऽन्त्ये मन्देऽष्टमे कुमृत्युः ।

kuje'ntye mande'ṣṭame kumṛtyuḥ |

Mars in the 12th (antya) and Saturn in the 8th: an evil death.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कुमृत्यु is a bad, ugly death — the prefix कु- is pejorative, and the verse is not softened here.

राहुसूर्ययोगे तीर्थे वा पर्वते मृत्युः ।

rāhusūryayoge tīrthe vā parvate mṛtyuḥ |

When Rāhu and the Sun are conjoined: death at a tīrtha ⟨a sacred ford⟩, or on a mountain.

भौमेऽरिगे दुर्मृत्युः ।

bhaume'rige durmṛtyuḥ |

Mars in the 6th (ari): an evil death.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints दुर्मृन्युः for दुर्मृत्युः; the word is not in doubt. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads दुर्मृत्युः; this sentence names दुर्मृन्युः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

भौमेऽरिगेऽर्कदृष्टे कफादतिसाराद्वा मृत्युः ।

bhaume'rige'rkadṛṣṭe kaphādatisārādvā mṛtyuḥ |

Mars in the 6th, aspected by the Sun: death from kapha ⟨phlegm⟩, or from atisāra ⟨dysentery⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints अतिमार, which is not a disease name. The edition's own English ('muco-purulent diarrhœa') shows the printing reads अतिसार, dysentery — the word the same text uses at C.101 — and the pair kapha/atisāra is a standard one. The correction is disclosed, not silent.

मन्देऽष्टमे शकटान्मृत्युः ।

mande'ṣṭame śakaṭānmṛtyuḥ |

Saturn in the 8th: death from a cart.

ज्ञार्कजावष्टमे कारागारे शूले वा मृत्युः ।

jñārkajāvaṣṭame kārāgāre śūle vā mṛtyuḥ |

Mercury and Saturn in the 8th: death in a prison, or on the stake ⟨by impalement⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शूल here is the impaling stake, not colic; the edition's English reads 'in jail or at the stake', and the paired place-nouns settle it.

शुक्रज्ञावष्टमे शय्यायां वान्तराले मृत्युः।

śukrajñāvaṣṭame śayyāyāṃ vāntarāle mṛtyuḥ|

Venus and Mercury in the 8th: death upon a bed, or in an intermediate place ⟨midway⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अन्तराल is 'the space between'; the edition renders it 'in the midway'. The Hindi keeps अन्तराल, which holds both the spatial and the on-the-journey sense that English must choose between.

मन्दार्कयोगे विभूतिरोगान्मृत्युः ।

mandārkayoge vibhūtirogānmṛtyuḥ |

When Saturn and the Sun are conjoined: death from the vibhūti disease ⟨an ashen affliction⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: विभूति is 'ashes'; विभूतिरोग is not glossed in the sūtra and no standard nosology names it. The edition's English renders it 'synosis or syncopa' (cyanosis or syncope), i.e. it read an ashen discolouration. The term is left standing rather than resolved.

मन्दारौ मृतिगौ ऊर्ध्वबन्धनान्मृत्युः ।

mandārau mṛtigau ūrdhvabandhanānmṛtyuḥ |

Saturn and Mars gone to the house of death (the 8th): death from a binding aloft ⟨hanging⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मृतिग = 'gone to the death-house', the 8th. The OCR prints ऊर्धबन्धन for ऊर्ध्वबन्धन, 'binding upward' — hanging or suspension. The edition's English instead reads it medically ('aortal regurgitation and valvular insufficiency'), with a commentary about obstructed blood; the literal sense is given here and the divergence recorded. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads ऊर्ध्वबन्धनान्मृत्युः; this sentence names ऊर्धबन्धन, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मन्दर्क्षेऽर्केऽङ्गेशयुते विद्युत्पातान्मृत्युः ।

mandarkṣe'rke'ṅgeśayute vidyutpātānmṛtyuḥ |

The Sun, joined with the lord of the lagna, in a sign of Saturn (manda-ṛkṣa): death from a lightning-strike.

जीवेऽङ्के तीर्थे मृत्युः ।

jīve'ṅke tīrthe mṛtyuḥ |

Jupiter in the 9th (aṅka): death at a tīrtha.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्क, 'digit', is the number-word for nine and so names the 9th house; the edition's English reads 'the 9th house' likewise. It is not a misprint for अङ्ग (the lagna), which this chapter spells out at L.36 and L.54.

ज्ञाच्छौ धर्मे द्वारावत्यां मृत्युः ।

jñācchau dharme dvārāvatyāṃ mṛtyuḥ |

Mercury and Venus (accha) in the 9th (dharma): death at Dvārāvatī ⟨Dvārakā⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: द्वारावती is the city Dvārakā, and the sūtras around it (49, 51, 52) all name places of death — a tīrtha, a road, a Śiva temple. The edition's English instead reads dvāra as the valves of the heart ('valvular disease'), one of several medicalizing readings it gives in this run; the place-name is followed here.

ज्ञार्कौ धर्मे मार्गे वा शिवालये मृत्युः ।

jñārkau dharme mārge vā śivālaye mṛtyuḥ |

Mercury and the Sun in the 9th: death on the road, or in a Śiva temple.

लग्ने धर्मेशे तीर्थे मृत्युः ।

lagne dharmeśe tīrthe mṛtyuḥ |

The lord of the 9th (dharmeśa) in the lagna: death at a tīrtha.

चन्द्रधर्मेशावष्टमे सन्मृत्युः।

candradharmeśāvaṣṭame sanmṛtyuḥ|

The Moon and the lord of the 9th in the 8th: a good death.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints चन्द्रधर्मशा for चन्द्रधर्मेशौ and सन्मृयुः for सन्मृत्युः; neither word is in doubt. सन्मृत्यु is a good end — the one favourable sūtra in this run. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads चन्द्रधर्मेशावष्टमे and सन्मृत्युः; this sentence names चन्द्रधर्मशा and सन्मृयुः, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

चरर्क्षेऽङ्गे स्वदेशे द्विस्वभावेऽङ्गे विदेशेऽन्यथा मार्गे मृत्युः ।

cararkṣe'ṅge svadeśe dvisvabhāve'ṅge videśe'nyathā mārge mṛtyuḥ |

The lagna in a movable sign: death in one's own country; the lagna in a dual (dvisvabhāva) sign: in a foreign country; otherwise ⟨a fixed sign⟩: on the road.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अन्यथा leaves the third case unnamed; only the fixed signs remain after cara and dvisvabhāva, so 'fixed' is supplied. The assignment is the text's own — movable to the home country, fixed to the road — and is not reversed here to suit expectation.

सुखेशे षष्ठे मन्दयुते यानान्मृत्युः ।

sukheśe ṣaṣṭhe mandayute yānānmṛtyuḥ |

The lord of the 4th (sukheśa) in the 6th, joined with Saturn: death from a vehicle (yāna).

राहुतुर्येशौ षष्ठे चौरान्मृत्युः।

rāhuturyeśau ṣaṣṭhe caurānmṛtyuḥ|

Rāhu and the lord of the 4th (turyeśa) in the 6th: death from thieves.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints पष्ठे for षष्ठे, as it does again at L.57. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठे; this sentence names पष्ठे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

केतुसुखेशौ षष्ठे शस्त्रेण मृत्युः ।

ketusukheśau ṣaṣṭhe śastreṇa mṛtyuḥ |

Ketu and the lord of the 4th (sukheśa) in the 6th: death by a weapon.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints पष्ठे for षष्ठे. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठे; this sentence names पष्ठे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

अर्कारौ खे वा सुखे शिलाप्रपातान्मृत्युः ।

arkārau khe vā sukhe śilāprapātānmṛtyuḥ |

The Sun and Mars in the 10th, or in the 4th: death from a rock-fall ⟨a falling stone, or a fall from a rock⟩.

  • About this edition: शिलाप्रपात holds both directions — a stone falling on the person and the person falling from a rock. The Hindi keeps the compound and so keeps both; the English has to gloss. The OCR prints मृयुः for मृत्युः. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शिलाप्रपातान्मृत्युः; this sentence names मृयुः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सौरेन्द्वारैः क्रमाद्वन्ध्वस्तकर्मगैः कूपपातान्मृत्युः ।

saurendvāraiḥ kramādvandhvastakarmagaiḥ kūpapātānmṛtyuḥ |

Saturn, the Moon and Mars standing respectively in the 4th (bandhu), the 7th (asta) and the 10th (karma): death by falling into a well.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints वन्ध्य ('barren'), which names no house; the reading is बन्धु, the 4th, and the edition's own English confirms the triad as 4th, 7th, 10th — the three kendras below the lagna. क्रमात् fixes the pairing in order, so the graha-to-house assignment is not free. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads क्रमाद्वन्ध्वस्तकर्मगैः; this sentence names वन्ध्य, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-23: the 1941 plate our text transcribes (jt-sastri-english PDF p.253, printed folio 245, store line 4) was read by eye at about 3.2x and 3.3x native. It sets सौरेन्द्वारैः and क्रमाद्वन्ध्वस्तकर्मगैः, with a closed व loop in ध्व, so वन्ध्य was our e-text's misreading and not the press's; सौरे is the press's own vowel. The same line prints मृयुः, the press's own dropped त, which our text emends to मृत्युः on the lexicon.]

कन्यास्थचन्द्रार्कौ पापदृष्टौ स्वजनेन हन्यते ।

kanyāsthacandrārkau pāpadṛṣṭau svajanena hanyate |

The Moon and the Sun standing in Kanyā (Virgo), aspected by malefics: he is slain by one of his own people.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints चन्द्राकौं for चन्द्रार्कौ, as at L.31. हन्यते is passive and violent — 'is slain', not 'meets his end'; स्वजन is a kinsman or one of the native's own household. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads कन्यास्थचन्द्रार्कौ; this sentence names चन्द्राकौं, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

चन्द्रार्कावुभयोदये जलनिमज्जनान्मृत्युः ।

candrārkāvubhayodaye jalanimajjanānmṛtyuḥ |

The Moon and the Sun in the both-rising sign ⟨Pisces⟩: death by drowning in water.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ubhayodaya, 'rising both ways', is the standing name of Pisces — the one rāśi counted neither śīrṣodaya nor pṛṣṭhodaya. The water sign matches the drowning it foretells; the reading is the sense of the term, not a supplied gloss on a house.

मृगे चन्द्रे कर्के मन्दे जलोदरेण मृत्युः ।

mṛge candre karke mande jalodareṇa mṛtyuḥ |

The Moon in Capricorn (mṛga) and Saturn in Cancer: death by dropsy (jalodara).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mṛga here is the rāśi Capricorn (makara), not the nakṣatra Mṛgaśiras — it stands beside karka in the same list of signs.

पापयोर्मध्ये कुजर्क्षगे चन्द्रे शस्त्रेणाग्निना वा मृत्युः ।

pāpayormadhye kujarkṣage candre śastreṇāgninā vā mṛtyuḥ |

The Moon in a sign of Mars ⟨Aries or Scorpio⟩, between two malefics: death by a weapon or by fire.

कन्यगे चन्द्रे पापयोर्मध्ये रक्तोत्थशोपान्मृत्युः ।

kanyage candre pāpayormadhye raktotthaśopānmṛtyuḥ |

The Moon in Virgo, between two malefics: death from a swelling arisen from the blood.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints शोपान् for शोफान् (śopha, 'swelling, inflammation') — a फ/प misread of the kind this e-text is known to make. raktottha = 'risen out of the blood'.

सौरर्क्षे चन्द्रे पापयोर्मध्ये ज्वराग्निपातैर्मृत्युः।

saurarkṣe candre pāpayormadhye jvarāgnipātairmṛtyuḥ|

The Moon in a sign of Saturn ⟨Capricorn or Aquarius⟩, between two malefics: death by fever, by fire, or by a fall.

सपापे इन्दावस्ते मेषे शुक्रे सूर्येऽङ्गे स्त्रीहेतुकमृत्युः।

sapāpe indāvaste meṣe śukre sūrye'ṅge strīhetukamṛtyuḥ|

The Moon with a malefic in the 7th, Venus in Aries, the Sun in the 1st: death caused by a woman.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: asta is the 7th house (the setting place) and aṅga ('the body') the 1st, per the glossary's house-synonym rule.

सूर्यारौ तुर्ये खे यमे शूलेन मृत्युः ।

sūryārau turye khe yame śūlena mṛtyuḥ |

The Sun and Mars in the 4th, Saturn (yama) in the 10th: death by the spear (śūla).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śūla is both the spear or stake and acute piercing pain (colic). English must choose; the Hindi keeps शूल, which holds both. The same word governs sūtras 68 and 69.

त्रिकोणाद्यगैः सक्षीणेन्दुपापैः शूलेन मृत्युः ।

trikoṇādyagaiḥ sakṣīṇendupāpaiḥ śūlena mṛtyuḥ |

The waning Moon together with malefics occupying the trikoṇa and the first ⟨house⟩: death by the spear (śūla).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: trikoṇādya is read tri-koṇa + ādya, 'the trikoṇa and the first house'; the same string could be read trikoṇādi, 'the trikoṇa and the rest'. The Hindi keeps आद्य.

तुर्येऽर्के खे कुजे क्षीणेन्दुदृष्टे शूलेन मृत्युः ।

turye'rke khe kuje kṣīṇendudṛṣṭe śūlena mṛtyuḥ |

The Sun in the 4th, Mars in the 10th aspected by the waning Moon: death by the spear (śūla).

खे भौमे तुर्येऽर्के मन्ददृष्टे काष्ठाभिघाततो मृत्युः।

khe bhaume turye'rke mandadṛṣṭe kāṣṭhābhighātato mṛtyuḥ|

Mars in the 10th, the Sun in the 4th aspected by Saturn: death from a blow of wood.

रन्ध्रखाम्बुतनुगैः क्रमात् क्षीणेन्द्वारार्कजार्कैर्लगुडघाततो मृत्युः ।

randhrakhāmbutanugaiḥ kramāt kṣīṇendvārārkajārkairlaguḍaghātato mṛtyuḥ |

The waning Moon, Mars, Saturn and the Sun occupying, in order, the 8th, the 10th, the 4th and the 1st: death from a blow with a club (laguḍa).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kramāt, 'in order', is explicit here: randhra 8, kha 10, ambu 4, tanu 1, answering to waning Moon, Mars, Saturn (arkaja), Sun.

क्षीणेन्द्वारार्कजार्कैः खाङ्कोदयेषुगैर्धूमाग्निबन्धनकाष्ठादि प्रहारान्मृत्युः।

kṣīṇendvārārkajārkaiḥ khāṅkodayeṣugairdhūmāgnibandhanakāṣṭhādi prahārānmṛtyuḥ|

The waning Moon, Mars, Saturn and the Sun occupying the 10th, the 9th, the 1st and the 5th: death from smoke, from fire, from confinement, or from blows of wood and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅka is the number-word for nine (the nine digits); iṣu 'arrow' is five; udaya is the rising sign. The graha order repeats the previous sūtra's, so the pairing is taken as ordered even though kramāt is not repeated.

खास्ताम्बुगैर्मन्दार्कारैरायुधाग्निनृपकोपतो मृत्युः ।

khāstāmbugairmandārkārairāyudhāgninṛpakopato mṛtyuḥ |

Saturn, the Sun and Mars occupying the 10th, the 7th and the 4th: death from weapons, from fire, or from the king's wrath.

भौमेऽम्बुगे खेऽर्के वाहनपाततो मृत्युः ।

bhaume'mbuge khe'rke vāhanapātato mṛtyuḥ |

Mars occupying the 4th and the Sun the 10th: death from a fall from a vehicle.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra names two houses for one graha with no connective (bhaume 'mbuge khe), so they are read as alternatives; a second graha may equally have dropped out of this OCR. The supplied 'or' is marked in both languages.

मन्देन्द्वारैर्व्यब्धिदशमगैश्च्छिद्रे कृमिपाततो मृत्युः ।

mandendvārairvyabdhidaśamagaiścchidre kṛmipātato mṛtyuḥ |

Saturn, the Moon and Mars occupying the 12th, the 4th and the 10th: death from an infestation of worms in a sore (chidra).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vy- is taken as vyaya, the 12th; abdhi 'ocean' is four. chidra is here read as a sore or aperture, but chidra is also this text's name for the 8th house — on that reading the clause would name a fourth position rather than the seat of the worms. English must choose; the Hindi keeps छिद्र, which holds both.

द्यूने भौमे चन्द्रार्कजावङ्गे यन्त्रपीडनान्मृत्युः ।

dyūne bhaume candrārkajāvaṅge yantrapīḍanānmṛtyuḥ |

Mars in the 7th, the Moon and Saturn in the 1st: death by crushing in a machine (yantra).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dyūna is the 7th house; aṅga the 1st. yantra-pīḍana is being crushed or pressed by a machine or engine.

भौमार्किचन्द्रैस्तुलाजयमर्क्षगैर्विण्मध्ये पतितस्य मृत्युः ।

bhaumārkicandraistulājayamarkṣagairviṇmadhye patitasya mṛtyuḥ |

Mars, Saturn and the Moon occupying Libra, Aries and a sign of Saturn: the death of one fallen into filth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: yama-ṛkṣa, 'Saturn's sign', is Capricorn or Aquarius. The graha list and the sign list are matched in order, as the neighbouring sūtras do.

सप्ताम्बुव्योमगैः सूर्यारक्षीणेन्दुभिर्विण्मध्ये पतितस्य मृत्युः ।

saptāmbuvyomagaiḥ sūryārakṣīṇendubhirviṇmadhye patitasya mṛtyuḥ |

The Sun, Mars and the waning Moon occupying the 7th, the 4th and the 10th: the death of one fallen into filth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sapta 7, ambu 4, vyoma 10.

सूर्यारावस्ते मन्देऽष्टमे क्षीणेन्दौ तुर्ये पक्षिभिर्भक्ष्यन्ते प्रेतः।

sūryārāvaste mande'ṣṭame kṣīṇendau turye pakṣibhirbhakṣyante pretaḥ|

The Sun and Mars in the 7th, Saturn in the 8th, the waning Moon in the 4th: the corpse is devoured by birds.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints the plural भक्ष्यन्ते with the singular प्रेतः; read bhakṣyate. This sūtra states not the manner of death but what befalls the body afterwards — the only one in the run that does.

चन्द्रेणारयमेनवाद्यात्मजाष्टमगैः शैलशिखराशनिकुड्यपाततो मृत्युः।

candreṇārayamenavādyātmajāṣṭamagaiḥ śailaśikharāśanikuḍyapātato mṛtyuḥ|

The Moon, Mars and Saturn occupying the 1st, the 5th and the 8th: death from a fall from a mountain peak, from a thunderbolt, or from a falling wall.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The compound reads candreṇa āra-yamena vā ādya-ātmaja-aṣṭama-gaiḥ. Three houses answer to three grahas, so āra-yama is taken as a collective dvandva (Mars and Saturn) and the vā with the three causes named at the end. ātmaja 'son' is the 5th; aśani is the thunderbolt, kuḍya a wall.

रन्ध्रलग्नाधिपावबलौ भौमषष्ठेशयुतौ शैलपाततो मृतिः।

randhralagnādhipāvabalau bhaumaṣaṣṭheśayutau śailapātato mṛtiḥ|

The lords of the 8th and of the lagna, weak and joined with Mars and the lord of the 6th: death from a fall from a mountain.

रन्ध्राङ्गपौ तुर्यपयुतौ वाहनतो मृत्युः ।

randhrāṅgapau turyapayutau vāhanato mṛtyuḥ |

The lords of the 8th and the 1st joined with the lord of the 4th: death from a vehicle.

रन्ध्राङ्गपौ षष्ठे सराहुकेतू चौरशस्त्रघाततो मृत्युः ।

randhrāṅgapau ṣaṣṭhe sarāhuketū cauraśastraghātato mṛtyuḥ |

The lords of the 8th and the 1st in the 6th together with Rāhu and Ketu: death by the weapon-blow of thieves.

धनाङ्गपौ त्रिके सराहुकेतू उद्बन्धनान्मृत्युः ।

dhanāṅgapau trike sarāhuketū udbandhanānmṛtyuḥ |

The lords of the 2nd and the 1st in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ together with Rāhu and Ketu: death by hanging.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints उब्दन्धनान् for उद्बन्धनान् (udbandhana, hanging) — a transposed conjunct. trika is the set 6-8-12. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads उद्बन्धनान्मृत्युः; this sentence names उब्दन्धनान्, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

रन्ध्रस्थौ यमारौ राहुयुतौ शस्त्रतो मृत्युः।

randhrasthau yamārau rāhuyutau śastrato mṛtyuḥ|

Saturn and Mars placed in the 8th, joined by Rāhu: death by a weapon.

रन्ध्रे शुभोऽपापारिवीक्षितो रणे मृत्युः ।

randhre śubho'pāpārivīkṣito raṇe mṛtyuḥ |

A benefic in the 8th, unaspected by malefics or by inimical ⟨grahas⟩: death in battle.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ari is taken as an inimical graha; the glossary records that ari is also a name of the 6th house, on which reading this would be 'unaspected by malefics and by the 6th ⟨lord⟩'. The Hindi keeps अरि. Note the configuration is itself benign — the sūtra assigns it a soldier's death, not a bad one.

निद्रितः शयानो वा पापयुतोऽष्टमे शत्रुकोपतो मृत्युः।

nidritaḥ śayāno vā pāpayuto'ṣṭame śatrukopato mṛtyuḥ|

⟨A graha⟩ asleep or reclining, joined with a malefic, in the 8th: death from the wrath of enemies.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: nidrita and śayāna are two of the twelve graha avasthās (sleeping, reclining), and all three adjectives agree with one masculine subject. Read of a graha the sūtra names its avasthā; read of the native the same words give 'while asleep or lying down' — killed in his sleep by his enemies. English must supply a subject; the Hindi supplies none and keeps both open.

रन्ध्रे रवौ वह्नेश्चन्द्रे जलयोगाद्भौमे शस्त्रतो बुधे ज्वरतो गुरौ त्रिदोषतः शुक्रे क्षुधया शनौ तृषया मृत्युः।

randhre ravau vahneścandre jalayogādbhaume śastrato budhe jvarato gurau tridoṣataḥ śukre kṣudhayā śanau tṛṣayā mṛtyuḥ|

In the 8th: the Sun — death from fire; the Moon — from contact with water; Mars — by a weapon; Mercury — from fever; Jupiter — from the tridoṣa ⟨the three humours deranged⟩; Venus — from hunger; Saturn — from thirst.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Seven grahas, seven causes, in the order the sūtra gives them: ravi, candra, bhauma, budha, guru, śukra, śani. jala-yoga is 'conjunction with water' — drowning or immersion.

भौमार्कदृष्टं लग्नं शुक्रेज्यादृष्टं चेद्वृषभेण मृत्युः ।

bhaumārkadṛṣṭaṃ lagnaṃ śukrejyādṛṣṭaṃ cedvṛṣabheṇa mṛtyuḥ |

The lagna aspected by Mars and the Sun and unaspected by Venus and Jupiter: death by a bull.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śukrejyādṛṣṭaṃ can be split śukra-ijyā-dṛṣṭam ('aspected by') or śukra-ijya-adṛṣṭam ('unaspected by') — the sandhi is identical. The sense of the sūtra, which is announcing a violent death, requires the second. ijya is Jupiter.

मन्दार्कौ लग्ने राहुदृष्टौ वृक्षपाततो मृत्युः ।

mandārkau lagne rāhudṛṣṭau vṛkṣapātato mṛtyuḥ |

Saturn and the Sun in the lagna, aspected by Rāhu: death from the fall of a tree.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints मन्दाकौं, which is not a word; the dual rāhudṛṣṭau requires a dual subject, so read मन्दार्कौ (manda + arka), Saturn and the Sun. The reading is recoverable from the grammar, not guessed. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads मन्दार्कौ; this sentence names मन्दाकौं, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

द्यूने शन्यर्कराहुषु सर्पपीडातो मृत्युः ।

dyūne śanyarkarāhuṣu sarpapīḍāto mṛtyuḥ |

⟨When⟩ Saturn, the Sun and Rāhu ⟨stand⟩ in the 7th house (dyūna), death comes from the affliction of a snake ⟨snakebite⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dyūna is the standard name of the 7th bhāva; the sūtra sits inside the aṣṭama-viveka because the 7th is a maraka place. sarpapīḍā is literally 'affliction by a snake', i.e. snakebite; nothing softer is in the Sanskrit.

जीवर्क्षे ज्ञे मन्दर्क्षे कुजे व्याघ्रतो मृत्युः ।

jīvarkṣe jñe mandarkṣe kuje vyāghrato mṛtyuḥ |

⟨With⟩ Mercury in Jupiter's sign (ṛkṣa) and Mars in Saturn's sign, death from a tiger.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ṛkṣa is rendered 'sign' here, the sense it carries through this viveka; the word can equally mean nakṣatra and the sūtra does not decide between them. The Hindi keeps ऋक्ष so the ambiguity survives.

शुक्रर्क्षे चन्द्रमन्दौ शस्त्रतो मृत्युः।

śukrarkṣe candramandau śastrato mṛtyuḥ|

The Moon and Saturn in Venus's sign — death by a weapon.

धर्मे पापाः शुभादृष्टाः शरेण मृत्युः।

dharme pāpāḥ śubhādṛṣṭāḥ śareṇa mṛtyuḥ|

Malefics in the 9th house (dharma), unaspected by benefics — death by an arrow.

चन्द्रज्ञौ षष्ठेऽष्टमे वा विषेण मृत्युः।

candrajñau ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame vā viṣeṇa mṛtyuḥ|

The Moon and Mercury in the 6th or the 8th — death by poison.

12.96a reading here is contested

पुष्पवन्तौ षष्ठाष्टमे वा गजतो मृत्युः ।

puṣpavantau ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame vā gajato mṛtyuḥ |

The Sun and the Moon (puṣpavantau) in the 6th and the 8th — death from an elephant.

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 "गजतो मृत्युः !". 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. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads मृत्युः । for मृत्युः !: the 2026-09-20 codepoint row replaced the ASCII '!' with the daṇḍa, so the defect this note keeps is repaired and a daṇḍa stands.]
  • About this edition: puṣpavantau is the dual epithet for the Sun and the Moon together. The locative ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame is a dual dvandva ('in the 6th and 8th') yet the sūtra also carries vā ('or'), as the preceding sūtra 95 does with its explicit ṣaṣṭhe 'ṣṭame vā — so 'in the 6th or the 8th' is an equally available reading and the printing does not settle it. TERMINAL PUNCTUATION DEFECT flagged in the source: this sūtra ends '!' and not a daṇḍa; nothing has been supplied. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads मृत्युः । for मृत्युः !, repaired on the codepoint on 2026-09-20; the sūtra no longer ends in '!'.]

यो वलवान्निधनं पश्येत्तद्धातुकोपतो मृत्युः ।

yo valavānnidhanaṃ paśyettaddhātukopato mṛtyuḥ |

Whichever ⟨graha⟩, being strong, aspects the 8th house (nidhana) — death from the aggravation (kopa) of that ⟨graha's own⟩ dhātu.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints वलवान् for बलवान्; the v/b interchange is regular in this OCR and is kept as printed. dhātu: each graha rules one of the bodily constituents, and kopa is that constituent's derangement — the sūtra names the mechanism, not a disease.

उक्तयोगाभावेऽष्टमभावाधिष्ठितत्र्यंशेशस्योक्ताग्न्यम्ब्वादि स्वगुणहेतुतो मृत्युः।

uktayogābhāve'ṣṭamabhāvādhiṣṭhitatryaṃśeśasyoktāgnyambvādi svaguṇahetuto mṛtyuḥ|

In the absence of the yogas stated ⟨above⟩, death is from the cause that is the own quality of the lord of the tryaṃśa (the third-part, i.e. the drekkāṇa) occupying the 8th house — the fire, water and the rest already named.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The compound is printed उक्ताग्न्यम्ब्दादि / uktāgnyambdādi; the reading required by the sense is उक्ताग्न्यम्ब्वादि (ukta-agni-ambu-ādi), 'the aforesaid fire, water and so on' — the OCR sets ब्द for ब्व. Kept as printed, translated on the intended reading. tryaṃśa here is the third part of a sign, i.e. the drekkāṇa, which sūtras 99–111 then enumerate sign by sign. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads उक्तयोगाभावेऽष्टमभावाधिष्ठितत्र्यंशेशस्योक्ताग्न्यम्ब्वादि for उक्तयोगाभावेऽष्टमभावाधिष्ठितत्र्यंशेशस्योक्ताग्न्यम्ब्दादि, 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.]

निधनगद्रेष्काणतो वा मृत्युः।

nidhanagadreṣkāṇato vā mṛtyuḥ|

Or death ⟨is to be judged⟩ from the drekkāṇa that falls in the 8th house (nidhana).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The edition spells the term द्रेष्काण here; the corpus renders both द्रेकाण and द्रेष्काण as drekkāṇa (decanate).

मेषाद्यत्र्यंशे प्लीहजो वा विषजो वा पित्तजो मध्ये जलजोऽन्त्ये कूपादिपाततो मृत्युः।

meṣādyatryaṃśe plīhajo vā viṣajo vā pittajo madhye jalajo'ntye kūpādipātato mṛtyuḥ|

In the first tryaṃśa of Aries, ⟨death⟩ from the spleen, or from poison, or from bile; in the middle, from water; in the last, death from a fall into a well or the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The three tryaṃśas of each sign are named ādya (first), madhya (middle) and antya (last) through sūtras 100–111; the pattern is the same in every one and only the causes change.

वृषादित्र्यंशे खराश्वादितो मध्ये पित्ताग्निचोरतोऽन्त्ये उच्चस्थलाश्वादितो मृत्युः।

vṛṣāditryaṃśe kharāśvādito madhye pittāgnicorato'ntye uccasthalāśvādito mṛtyuḥ|

In the first tryaṃśa of Taurus, ⟨death⟩ from a donkey, a horse and the like; in the middle, from bile, fire ⟨and⟩ thieves; in the last, death from a high place, a horse and the like.

युग्माद्ये वातश्वासतो मध्ये त्रिदोषादन्त्ये यानपर्वतपाततो वारण्ये मृत्युः।

yugmādye vātaśvāsato madhye tridoṣādantye yānaparvatapātato vāraṇye mṛtyuḥ|

In the first ⟨tryaṃśa⟩ of Gemini, ⟨death⟩ from wind ⟨disorder⟩ and from asthma; in the middle, from the three doṣas; in the last, death from a fall from a vehicle or a mountain, or in a forest.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vāraṇye resolves as vā + araṇye, 'or in the forest'.

कर्काद्येऽपेयपानात्कण्टकाद्वा मध्ये विषातिसारतोऽन्त्ये मोहभ्रमप्लीहगुल्मादितो मृत्युः ।

karkādye'peyapānātkaṇṭakādvā madhye viṣātisārato'ntye mohabhramaplīhagulmādito mṛtyuḥ |

In the first ⟨tryaṃśa⟩ of Cancer, ⟨death⟩ from drinking what ought not to be drunk, or from a thorn; in the middle, from poison ⟨and⟩ dysentery; in the last, death from stupor, giddiness, spleen ⟨disease⟩, gulma ⟨an abdominal tumour⟩ and the like.

सिंहाद्ये विषाम्बुरोगेण मध्ये श्वसनाम्बुरोगेणान्त्ये यानपीडाविषशस्त्रेण मृत्युः।

kanyādye vātamastakarogeṇa madhye durgādripātānnṛpakopato'ntye kharoṣṭraśastrāmbupātato mṛtyuḥ|

In the first ⟨tryaṃśa⟩ of Virgo, by wind ⟨disorder⟩ and disease of the head; in the middle, from a fall from a fort or a mountain, ⟨or⟩ from a king's wrath; in the last, death from a donkey ⟨or⟩ a camel, from a weapon, ⟨or⟩ from a fall into water.

  • About this edition: The compound is printed स्वरोष्ट्र- / svaroṣṭra-. That is not a resolvable form: sva + uṣṭra would give स्वोष्ट्र, and svara ('sound') gives no sense beside camel, weapon and drowning. The expected word is खरोष्ट्र, 'donkey and camel', a stock pair, and the same viveka has खराश्व at 101; the OCR reads ख as स्व. Kept as printed; the supplied 'donkey' is marked in both renderings. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads खरोष्ट्रशस्त्राम्बुपाततो; this sentence names स्वरोष्ट्र and svaroṣṭra, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

तुलाद्ये पतनात् स्त्रीतः पशुतो मध्ये जठररोगेणान्त्ये व्यालजलान्मृत्युः।

tulādye patanāt strītaḥ paśuto madhye jaṭhararogeṇāntye vyālajalānmṛtyuḥ|

In the first ⟨tryaṃśa⟩ of Libra, ⟨death⟩ from a fall, from a woman, ⟨or⟩ from an animal; in the middle, by disease of the stomach; in the last, death from a savage beast (vyāla) ⟨or⟩ from water.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vyāla covers a vicious elephant, a beast of prey and a serpent alike; the Hindi keeps व्याल so the reader is not made to choose where the Sanskrit does not.

अल्याद्ये विषशस्त्रतो मध्ये भारश्रमाद्वा कटिवस्तिरोगतोऽन्त्ये लोष्टकाष्ठपाषाणतो मृत्युः।

alyādye viṣaśastrato madhye bhāraśramādvā kaṭivastirogato'ntye loṣṭakāṣṭhapāṣāṇato mṛtyuḥ|

In the first ⟨tryaṃśa⟩ of Scorpio, ⟨death⟩ from poison ⟨and⟩ a weapon; in the middle, from the strain of a burden, or from disease of the waist and the bladder; in the last, death from a clod of earth, from wood, ⟨or⟩ from stone.

चापाद्ये वातगुदामयान्मध्ये विषबाणाभ्यामन्त्ये जलजलचार्युदरामयान्मृत्युः।

cāpādye vātagudāmayānmadhye viṣabāṇābhyāmantye jalajalacāryudarāmayānmṛtyuḥ|

In the first ⟨tryaṃśa⟩ of Sagittarius, ⟨death⟩ from wind ⟨disorder⟩ and disease of the anus; in the middle, by poison and by an arrow; in the last, death from water, from an aquatic creature, ⟨or⟩ from disease of the belly.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text sets a word break inside the last compound — 'जल जलचार्युदरामयान्' — where the sense requires jala-jalacāri-udarāmayāt, one compound. Kept as printed; the break is a spacing artefact and does not change the sense. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads जलजलचार्युदरामयान्मृत्युः for जल; ∅ for जलचार्युदरामयान्मृत्युः, 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.]

मृगाद्ये सिंहवराहवृश्चिकतो मध्ये भुजङ्गतोऽन्त्ये चौराग्निशस्त्रज्वरतो मृत्युः ।

mṛgādye siṃhavarāhavṛścikato madhye bhujaṅgato'ntye caurāgniśastrajvarato mṛtyuḥ |

In the first ⟨tryaṃśa⟩ of Capricorn, ⟨death⟩ from a lion, a boar ⟨or⟩ a scorpion; in the middle, from a serpent; in the last, death from thieves, fire, a weapon ⟨and⟩ fever.

कुम्भाद्ये स्त्र्यङ्गजोदरव्याधितो मध्ये गुह्यरोगादन्त्ये विषान्मृत्युः ।

kumbhādye stryaṅgajodaravyādhito madhye guhyarogādantye viṣānmṛtyuḥ |

In the first ⟨tryaṃśa⟩ of Aquarius, ⟨death⟩ from a disease arising from a woman's organ ⟨and⟩ from disease of the belly; in the middle, from disease of the private parts; in the last, death from poison.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The last word is printed विपान्मृत्युः / vipānmṛtyuḥ, i.e. vipāt for viṣāt, 'from poison'. This is exactly the ष→प misreading the edition profile names as its control case (A.22 item 9 sets विपा- against Viṣa). Kept as printed and translated on the intended reading; the sandhi विषात् + मृत्युः → विषान्मृत्युः confirms it. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads विषान्मृत्युः for विपान्मृत्युः, 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.]

मीनाद्ये ग्रहिणी प्रमेहगुल्मतो मध्ये जलोदरगजग्राहतो नौप्रभेदादन्त्ये कुरोगान्मृत्युः ।

mīnādye grahiṇī pramehagulmato madhye jalodaragajagrāhato nauprabhedādantye kurogānmṛtyuḥ |

In the first ⟨tryaṃśa⟩ of Pisces, from grahiṇī ⟨a disorder of the bowels⟩, ⟨and⟩ from urinary disease ⟨and⟩ gulma; in the middle, from dropsy, from an elephant ⟨or⟩ a crocodile, ⟨or⟩ from the breaking up of a boat; in the last, death from a foul disease.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints अहिणी / ahiṇī, which is no form of अहि; the instrumental अहिना ('by a snake') is what the sentence needs and what the surrounding animal-causes support. Kept as printed and translated on that reading — the akṣara ना read as णी is within this OCR's ordinary error range, but no plate has been consulted here. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads ग्रहिणी; this sentence names अहिणी, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सौम्ये रन्ध्रे शुभदृष्टे वा धर्मपे सौम्ये तीर्थे मृत्युः ।

saumye randhre śubhadṛṣṭe vā dharmape saumye tīrthe mṛtyuḥ |

⟨When⟩ the 8th house (randhra) is a benefic's, or is aspected by a benefic, and the lord of the 9th (dharma) is a benefic — death at a tīrtha ⟨a sacred bathing-place⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: saumya is taken as the benefic class in both its occurrences, per the glossary; the same word can name Mercury, and the sūtra does not exclude that. The Hindi keeps सौम्य, which holds both.

धर्मपारार्का धर्मगाः लग्नास्तेशौ मित्रे पत्नीसहगामिनी।

dharmapārārkā dharmagāḥ lagnāsteśau mitre patnīsahagāminī|

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 9th (dharma), Mars and the Sun stand in the 9th, and the lords of the lagna and of the 7th (asta) are in a friend's ⟨sign⟩ — the wife goes ⟨to death⟩ along with ⟨her husband⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: patnīsahagāminī is feminine and predicative: the wife is 'one who goes together with' — she dies with her husband. Rendered at its weight, without euphemism.

अंशाद्वा लग्नाद्रन्ध्रे शुभे शुभलोकाप्तिः।

aṃśādvā lagnādrandhre śubhe śubhalokāptiḥ|

Or ⟨if⟩ a benefic ⟨stands⟩ in the 8th (randhra) reckoned from the navāṃśa or from the lagna, ⟨there is⟩ the attainment of an auspicious world.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Printed रन्धे for रन्ध्रे — a dropped र्, kept as printed. aṃśa here is the navāṃśa, the reckoning-point sūtras 116 and 117 also use. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads लग्नाद्रन्ध्रे; this sentence names रन्धे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सिंहासने चन्द्रे पारिजाते गुरौ ऐरावते शुक्रे ब्रह्मसायुज्यम् ।

siṃhāsane candre pārijāte gurau airāvate śukre brahmasāyujyam |

The Moon in siṃhāsana, Jupiter in pārijāta, Venus in airāvata — union with Brahmā (brahmasāyujya).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: siṃhāsana, pārijāta and airāvata are grades on the daśavarga dignity scale (airāvata = śakravāhana, Indra's elephant), not houses or signs; they are left untranslated because the app's vocabulary carries them as names.

अन्त्येऽंशात् केतौ ब्रह्मसायुज्यम् ।

antye'ṃśāt ketau brahmasāyujyam |

Ketu in the 12th (antya) reckoned from the navāṃśa — union with Brahmā.

अंशादन्त्ये मेषचापगशुभे ब्रह्मसायुज्यम् ।

aṃśādantye meṣacāpagaśubhe brahmasāyujyam |

⟨When⟩ a benefic in the 12th from the navāṃśa is placed in Aries or Sagittarius — union with Brahmā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Printed शुमे for शुभे (śume for śubhe), a dropped conjunct; kept as printed. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads मेषचापगशुभे; this sentence names शुमे and śume, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

एकस्थानगानां चतुर्णामधिष्ठितराशीशे केन्द्रे कोणे ब्रह्मसायुज्यम् ।

ekasthānagānāṃ caturṇāmadhiṣṭhitarāśīśe kendre koṇe brahmasāyujyam |

⟨When⟩ four ⟨grahas⟩ stand in one place, and the lord of the sign they occupy is in a kendra ⟨an angle⟩ or in a trine (koṇa) — union with Brahmā.

माने मीने सौम्ये वा भौमे ब्रह्मसायुज्यम् ।

māne mīne saumye vā bhaume brahmasāyujyam |

Mars in the 10th (māna), in Pisces, or in a benefic ⟨sign⟩ — union with Brahmā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Printed ब्रह्ममायुज्यम् for ब्रह्मसायुज्यम् (म for स), the only place in this run where the phrase is misset; the five neighbouring sūtras 115–120 all read ब्रह्मसायुज्यम्. māna is the 10th bhāva. saumya is taken as 'benefic' with the glossary; 'Mercury's sign' is available and the Hindi keeps सौम्य. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads ब्रह्मसायुज्यम्; this sentence names ब्रह्ममायुज्यम्, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

रन्ध्रेशे याने निद्रिते वा शुभयुतदृष्टे ब्रह्मसायुज्यम् ।

randhreśe yāne nidrite vā śubhayutadṛṣṭe brahmasāyujyam |

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 8th (randhra) is in the yāna ⟨going⟩ or the nidrā ⟨sleeping⟩ state, and is joined with or aspected by benefics — union with Brahmā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: yāna and nidrita are read as graha-avasthās (the states in which a graha is judged), because the sūtra's result is a post-mortem attainment and not a place or manner of death. The words also read plainly as 'in a vehicle' and 'asleep', which would make this a circumstance of death like the tīrtha of 112; the Sanskrit does not decide, and the Hindi keeps यान and निद्रित so the reader can see both.

लग्नेशोऽङ्गं धर्मेशो धर्मं रन्ध्रेशो रन्ध्रं पश्यति चेद्ब्रह्मसायुज्यम् ।

lagneśo'ṅgaṃ dharmeśo dharmaṃ randhreśo randhraṃ paśyati cedbrahmasāyujyam |

If the lord of the lagna aspects the 1st house (aṅga), the lord of the 9th (dharma) the 9th, and the lord of the 8th (randhra) the 8th — ⟨there is⟩ union with Brahman (brahma-sāyujya).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: House-epithets, glossary rule 3: aṅga = the 1st, dharma = the 9th, randhra = the 8th. The verb paśyati is singular with three subjects — each lord aspects its own house, taken distributively. brahma-sāyujya is absorption into Brahman, i.e. final liberation; kept in Sanskrit in both renderings. This viveka (letter L, the 8th house) opens with the two mokṣa sūtras before turning to the modes of death.

नवमे केवलशुभद्वये ब्रह्मसायुज्यम् ।

navame kevalaśubhadvaye brahmasāyujyam |

⟨When⟩ in the 9th there is a pair consisting of benefics only — union with Brahman.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kevala-śubha-dvaya: the force of kevala is exclusive — the two must be benefics and no malefic joins them; 'two benefics' alone would lose kevala.

षष्ठेऽष्टमे वा चन्द्रज्ञौ विषघातः ।

ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame vā candrajñau viṣaghātaḥ |

The Moon and Mercury (jña) in the 6th or the 8th — death by poison.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ghāta (√han) is literally 'a striking, a slaying'. Through this run of sūtras (123–128, 130–138, 146–147) it names the manner of death, since the viveka is the 8th house; a non-fatal blow is a possible weaker reading, and the Hindi keeps घात so that reading stays open where the English must choose.

खेऽर्के सुखे कुजे पाषाणघातः।

khe'rke sukhe kuje pāṣāṇaghātaḥ|

The Sun (arka) in the 10th (kha) and Mars (kuja) in the 4th (sukha) — death by a stone.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kha = the 10th house (the sky, mid-heaven); sukha = the 4th house. Both are house-epithets and are rendered by number per glossary rule 3.

कुजेऽष्टमेऽग्निघातः ।

kuje'ṣṭame'gnighātaḥ |

Mars (kuja) in the 8th — death by fire.

क्षीणेन्दावष्टमे जलघातः ।

kṣīṇendāvaṣṭame jalaghātaḥ |

The waning Moon (kṣīṇa-indu) in the 8th — death by water.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kṣīṇa-indu is the Moon in its waning half — weak by pakṣa-bala, not merely 'a weak Moon'.

ज्ञार्कावष्टमे विषाग्निघातः।

jñārkāvaṣṭame viṣāgnighātaḥ|

Mercury (jña) and the Sun (arka) in the 8th — death by poison and fire.

राह्वारावष्टमे शृङ्गिनखिदंष्ट्रिघातः ।

rāhvārāvaṣṭame śṛṅginakhidaṃṣṭrighātaḥ |

Rāhu and Mars (āra) in the 8th — death from horned, clawed and tusked ⟨creatures⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śṛṅgin / nakhin / daṃṣṭrin are three adjectives ('horned', 'clawed', 'tusked or fanged') with no noun; the animal is supplied in both languages.

चापांशे वाहनादुच्चप्रदेशतो वा पतनम् ।

cāpāṃśe vāhanāduccapradeśato vā patanam |

In the navāṃśa of Sagittarius (cāpa) — a fall from a vehicle or from a high place.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: cāpa ('bow') = Sagittarius; aṃśa here = navāṃśa. The sūtra does not name WHOSE navāṃśa — the locative is elliptical and the subject carries over from the preceding sūtras of this viveka (the significator of death, conventionally the lord of the 8th). Nothing has been supplied to close the gap.

तुर्येशे जलर्क्षे नीचारिमूढहीनबले तुर्यारिगे जलघातः।

turyeśe jalarkṣe nīcārimūḍhahīnabale turyārige jalaghātaḥ|

The lord of the 4th (turya) in a watery sign, debilitated, in an enemy's sign, combust (mūḍha) or devoid of strength, and posited in the 4th or the 6th (ari) — death by water.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: turya = 'fourth', the 4th house; ari = the 6th (glossary: ari/ripu/śatru = the 6th house, but also 'enemy' as a person — here in nīcārimūḍha it is 'an enemy's sign' and in turyāriga it is the 6th house, and the same sūtra uses it both ways). mūḍha = combust/eclipsed by the Sun.

लग्नेशेऽबले सुखे पापे जलघातः।

lagneśe'bale sukhe pāpe jalaghātaḥ|

The lord of the lagna without strength, and a malefic in the 4th (sukha) — death by water.

सुखेशेऽबले सुखे पापे जलघातः ।

sukheśe'bale sukhe pāpe jalaghātaḥ |

The lord of the 4th without strength, and a malefic in the 4th — death by water.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Identical in form to 131 with the lagna-lord replaced by the 4th lord; the pair is a deliberate doublet of the printing, not a duplication.

सुखपे सपापे केन्द्रे जलघातः ।

sukhape sapāpe kendre jalaghātaḥ |

The lord of the 4th in a kendra together with a malefic — death by water.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sukha-pa is a second formation of the same 'lord of the 4th' that 132 calls sukheśa; both are kept as 'lord of the 4th' / सुखेश–सुखपति.

लग्नसुखेशौ सुखकर्मेशदृष्टौ जलघातः ।

lagnasukheśau sukhakarmeśadṛṣṭau jalaghātaḥ |

The lords of the lagna and the 4th aspected by the lords of the 4th and the 10th (karma) — death by water.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: karma = the 10th house. The dual lagnasukheśau is aspected by the dual sukhakarmeśa; the text does not pair them one-to-one, so the rendering keeps them as two aspected and two aspecting.

सुखेशस्यांशेश्वरेण सुखपे युतदृष्टे जलघातः ।

sukheśasyāṃśeśvareṇa sukhape yutadṛṣṭe jalaghātaḥ |

The lord of the 4th joined with or aspected by the lord of the navāṃśa ⟨occupied by⟩ the lord of the 4th — death by water.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra names the same graha twice — sukheśa and sukhapa — so the rule is self-referential: the 4th lord with the dispositor of its own navāṃśa. Read exactly as printed; nothing emended.

भौमार्कौ सुखे पाषाणघातः ।

bhaumārkau sukhe pāṣāṇaghātaḥ |

Mars (bhauma) and the Sun (arka) in the 4th (sukha) — death by a stone.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints भौमाकौं (bhaumākauṃ) — an OCR misreading of the dual भौमार्कौ, 'Mars and the Sun'. The same misread string recurs at 143 and 146, and sūtra 150 prints the compound correctly as भौमार्क-दृष्टे, which settles the reading. Left unemended in the mūla per the edition profile; the translation follows भौमार्कौ. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भौमार्कौ; this sentence names bhaumākauṃ and भौमाकौं, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

सुखेशयुतदृष्टे खेशे पाषाणघातः ।

sukheśayutadṛṣṭe kheśe pāṣāṇaghātaḥ |

The lord of the 10th (kha) joined with or aspected by the lord of the 4th — death by a stone.

सुखपे तमोऽर्कियुते कुजेक्षिते पाषाणघातः ।

sukhape tamo'rkiyute kujekṣite pāṣāṇaghātaḥ |

The lord of the 4th joined with Rāhu (tamas) and Saturn (arki), and aspected by Mars (kuja) — death by a stone.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tamas ('darkness') = Rāhu; arki = Saturn (glossary).

सपापे भौमार्कर्क्षे मन्दे भुजच्छेदः ।

sapāpe bhaumārkarkṣe mande bhujacchedaḥ |

Saturn (manda) with a malefic in a sign of Mars (bhauma) or the Sun (arka) — the cutting off of an arm.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bhaumārkarkṣe = bhauma-arka-ṛkṣe, 'in a sign of Mars or of the Sun'. From here to 145 the result-word changes from ghāta to cheda, 'cutting off' — mutilation, not necessarily death; the Sanskrit distinction is kept in both languages.

शत्रुभे मन्दे शुक्रयुतदृष्टे करच्छेदः ।

śatrubhe mande śukrayutadṛṣṭe karacchedaḥ |

Saturn (manda) in an enemy's sign (śatru-bha), joined with or aspected by Venus (śukra) — the cutting off of a hand.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śatru-bha reads most naturally as 'the sign of an enemy' (a graha's inimical rāśi), as in nīcāri at 130; the glossary records that śatru can also stand for the 6th house, and 'the 6th sign' is a possible second reading here. The Hindi शत्रु राशि leaves the two open where the English has had to choose.

चन्द्रार्कतमोभौमा अष्टमे करपादच्छेदः ।

candrārkatamobhaumā aṣṭame karapādacchedaḥ |

The Moon, the Sun (arka), Rāhu (tamas) and Mars (bhauma) in the 8th — the cutting off of hands and feet.

मन्दर्क्षे राहौ सिंहे चन्द्रेऽष्टमे मस्तकच्छेदः ।

mandarkṣe rāhau siṃhe candre'ṣṭame mastakacchedaḥ |

Rāhu in a sign of Saturn (manda), and the Moon in Leo (siṃha) ⟨falling as⟩ the 8th — the cutting off of the head.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two locative phrases stand side by side without a connective: siṃhe candre'ṣṭame can be read either as the Moon in Leo where Leo is itself the 8th house (taken here), or as the Moon in Leo with the 8th as a separate condition. The Hindi keeps the appositional 'जो अष्टम भाव हो' rather than committing to a second graha in the 8th.

भौमार्कौ रन्ध्रे मस्तकच्छेदः ।

bhaumārkau randhre mastakacchedaḥ |

Mars (bhauma) and the Sun (arka) in the 8th (randhra) — the cutting off of the head.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Again the OCR भौमाकौं for the dual भौमार्कौ; see the note on 136. [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.]

मन्दारधनेशा लग्ने कर्णच्छेदः ।

mandāradhaneśā lagne karṇacchedaḥ |

Saturn (manda), Mars (āra) and the lord of the 2nd (dhana) in the lagna — the cutting off of the ears.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dhana = the 2nd house.

षष्ठार्थेशौ लग्ने मन्दारौ षष्ठे कर्णच्छेदः ।

ṣaṣṭhārtheśau lagne mandārau ṣaṣṭhe karṇacchedaḥ |

The lords of the 6th and of the 2nd (artha) in the lagna, and Saturn (manda) and Mars (āra) in the 6th — the cutting off of the ears.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: artha ('wealth') = the 2nd house, the same house 144 calls dhana.

लाभे भौमार्कौ विषाग्निशस्त्रघातः ।

lābhe bhaumārkau viṣāgniśastraghātaḥ |

Mars (bhauma) and the Sun (arka) in the 11th (lābha) — death by poison, fire and weapon.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The third instance of the OCR भौमाकौं for भौमार्कौ; see 136. lābha = the 11th house (glossary). [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.]

राहौ मन्दे वा लाभे काष्ठपाषाणघातः ।

rāhau mande vā lābhe kāṣṭhapāṣāṇaghātaḥ |

Rāhu or Saturn (manda) in the 11th (lābha) — death by wood and stone.

चन्द्रारौ केन्द्रे वाष्टमे वाहनभयम् ।

candrārau kendre vāṣṭame vāhanabhayam |

The Moon and Mars (āra) in a kendra or in the 8th — danger from vehicles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bhaya = fear, danger — weaker than ghāta and cheda, and kept so; the sūtra does not say the vehicle kills.

सुखे क्षीणेन्दौ वाहनभयम् ।

sukhe kṣīṇendau vāhanabhayam |

The waning Moon (kṣīṇa-indu) in the 4th (sukha) — danger from vehicles.

पापर्क्षे भौमार्कदृष्टे ब्रह्महत्या ।

pāparkṣe bhaumārkadṛṣṭe brahmahatyā |

⟨The significator⟩ in a malefic's sign and aspected by Mars (bhauma) and the Sun (arka) — the slaying of a brāhmaṇa (brahmahatyā).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: As at 129 the sūtra gives only a locative with no stated subject; 'the significator' is supplied and marked, and the identity (lagna, lagna-lord or 8th-lord) is not decided here. brahmahatyā is the killing of a brāhmaṇa, the first of the mahāpātakas — the native commits it, and the harshness is the text's own; the compound is kept in Sanskrit in the Hindi and glossed in the English.

यमार्कारयोगे ब्रह्महत्या।

yamārkārayoge brahmahatyā|

In the conjunction of Saturn (yama), the Sun and Mars — brahmahatyā, the slaying of a brāhmaṇa.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: यम = Saturn, as at L.85 (यमारौ = Saturn and Mars); the compound resolves यम + अर्क + आर. The sūtra carries no verb: it names the deed alone and does not state whether the native commits the killing or bears its guilt — that ellipsis runs through the whole series from L.150 to the close of this viveka, and both English and Hindi leave it standing.

जीवार्कारयोगे ब्रह्महत्या ।

jīvārkārayoge brahmahatyā |

In the conjunction of Jupiter (jīva), the Sun and Mars — brahmahatyā, the slaying of a brāhmaṇa.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: प्रयोगे stands where L.151 has योगे, with the same force (prayoga = the bringing together); the two sūtras differ only in जीव (Jupiter) for यम (Saturn). The Hindi keeps the printed प्रयोग with the equivalent in brackets rather than silently normalising it to योग. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads जीवार्कारयोगे; this sentence names प्रयोगे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-23: the 1941 plate our text transcribes (jt-sastri-english PDF p.267, printed folio 259, line 24) was read by eye at about 2.6x native. It sets जीवार्कारयोगे, the same form as 151's यमार्कारयोगे, with nothing between र and यो. So the press never printed प्रयोग: the प्र was our e-text's own, and the Hindi now reads योग, as 151's does.]

पापर्क्षे चन्द्रे मन्दार्कारदृष्टे गोहत्या ।

pāparkṣe candre mandārkāradṛṣṭe gohatyā |

⟨When⟩ the Moon is in a malefic's ṛkṣa ⟨sign⟩ and aspected by Saturn, the Sun and Mars — gohatyā, the slaying of a cow.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The same frame as L.150 (पापर्क्षे भौमार्कदृष्टे ब्रह्महत्या), here with the subject named: चन्द्रे and दृष्टे are both singular locatives agreeing with each other. ऋक्ष is taken as a sign owned by a malefic, the sense it carries throughout this viveka; the word also means nakṣatra and the sūtra does not decide between them, so the Hindi keeps ऋक्ष.

लग्नपारावेकांशगौ क्रूरहत्या ।

lagnapārāvekāṃśagau krūrahatyā |

⟨When⟩ the lord of the lagna and Mars are gone to one and the same aṃśa — krūrahatyā, a cruel slaying.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The compound resolves लग्नप + आरौ + एकांशगौ, both duals. एकांश = one and the same aṃśa — in this text ordinarily the navāṃśa. क्रूरहत्या admits two readings and the Sanskrit decides neither: as a karmadhāraya, 'a cruel killing'; as a tatpuruṣa, 'the killing of a fierce ⟨creature⟩' or 'of a cruel man', which is the pattern of every neighbouring sūtra, where the first member is the victim (ब्रह्म-, गो-, बाल-, गोमृग-, पक्षि-). The English had to choose and took the karmadhāraya; the Hindi keeps क्रूरहत्या untranslated and holds both.
12.155a reading here is contested

पापयुते गुरौ नीचे वा रवौ बालहत्या ।

pāpayute gurau nīce vā ravau bālahatyā |

⟨When⟩ Jupiter is joined with a malefic, or the Sun is debilitated — bālahatyā, the slaying of a child.

2 notes on this verse
  • What the page would not yield: SOURCE DEFECT, not a reading: this sūtra carries a consonant bearing two vowel signs (ीे), which Devanāgarī does not permit — an OCR duplication. It is left standing rather than mended, because repairing letters with no plate read is exactly the act this pipeline exists to prevent, and a wrong repair becomes invisible the moment it is made. It is the only such site in all 2,277 sūtras. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads नीचे for नीेचे: the 2026-09-20 codepoint row mended it, since a न bearing both ी and े cannot be written in the script; 'left standing rather than mended' is superseded.]
  • About this edition: SOURCE DEFECT, translated over: the OCR sets नीेचे, in which the akṣara न carries two vowel signs at once (ी and े) — something Devanāgarī does not permit. What is legible is न + च + े and the two mātrās; what is not legible is which of the two the printing actually bore. The word is नीचे (nīca, debilitated): it is a locative agreeing with रवौ, and the pair पापयुत / नीच is the standing alternation of this viveka. That is a grammatical recovery, not a plate read — the defect has not been settled against the 1941 plates. The sense of the sūtra survives the gap intact. On the syntax: वा separates two locative absolutes, so पापयुते belongs to गुरौ and नीचे to रवौ, not both to one graha. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads नीचे; this sentence names नीेचे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

पापे केन्द्रे रन्ध्रे भृगौ पापदृष्टे गोमृगहत्या।

pāpe kendre randhre bhṛgau pāpadṛṣṭe gomṛgahatyā|

⟨When⟩ a malefic is in a kendra and Venus (bhṛgu) is in the 8th (randhra) aspected by a malefic — gomṛgahatyā, the slaying of cattle and deer.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: रन्ध्र = the 8th house, as at L.2 and L.85; भृगु = Venus, this text's usual short form (C.288, G.64, K.26). गोमृग is read as the dvandva 'cattle and deer', which matches the victim-compounds around it; the word also names a single animal, a kind of wild ox, and the sūtra does not decide — the Hindi keeps गोमृगहत्या.

चन्द्रज्ञौ खे पापदृष्टौ वा नीचांशगौ शुभदृग्घीनौ नित्यं पक्षिहत्या।

candrajñau khe pāpadṛṣṭau vā nīcāṃśagau śubhadṛgghīnau nityaṃ pakṣihatyā|

The Moon and Mercury in the 10th (kha), aspected by malefics — or ⟨else⟩ gone to a debilitation-aṃśa — and devoid of benefic aspect: invariably pakṣihatyā, the killing of birds.

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: “॥ इत्यष्टमविवेकः ॥”
  • About this edition: पायदृष्टौ is an OCR misreading of पापदृष्टौ ('aspected by malefics'): पाय is no word in this construction, and the same phrase stands correctly at L.153 and L.156. ख = the 10th house, as at L.1 and L.124. नीचांश = the navāṃśa of debilitation. वा separates पापदृष्टौ from नीचांशगौ, while शुभदृग्धीनौ (dual) governs both alternatives. नित्यं is kept at its weight — 'invariably', not 'often'. edition: the printing closes the section immediately after this sūtra with the unnumbered colophon ॥ इत्यष्टमविवेकः ॥, which is not itself a sūtra. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पापदृष्टौ; this sentence names पायदृष्टौ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-30: the mūla now reads शुभदृग्घीनौ. The 1941 leaf (PDF p.268, folio 260) was read by eye on 2026-09-23 at about 3.5x native and carries घ; शुभदृग्धीनौ above names the form our text held until this date.]

Adhyāya 13 · M. अथ नवमविवेकः

सुखे ज्ञाच्छौ पुण्यवान् ।

sukhe jñācchau puṇyavān |

When Mercury and Venus (accha) are in the 4th house (sukha), ⟨the native is⟩ meritorious.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अच्छ (accha, 'the clear one') is Venus, fixed by this text's own usage elsewhere: A.38 चन्द्रार्केज्याः सात्विका ज्ञाच्छौ राजसौ (Moon, Sun and Jupiter sāttvika, ज्ञाच्छौ rājasa = Mercury and Venus) and A.56 मन्दस्य ज्ञाच्छौ सुहृदौ (Saturn's friends are Mercury and Venus). Not in the glossary yet — a candidate row. Throughout this viveka the 1941 printing's own English renders पुण्यवान् 'lucky (and fortunate)'; the word is 'possessed of religious merit', and the viveka's whole contrast is puṇyavān against pātakī, so it is rendered 'meritorious' here.

सौम्यान्तरे सुखे पुण्यवान् ।

saumyāntare sukhe puṇyavān |

When the 4th house is between benefics ⟨hemmed on either side⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ meritorious.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अन्तर here is 'between, hemmed by' (the kartari configuration), not a daśā sub-period: the printing reads 'betwixt two benefics', and sūtras 13 and 16 use पापान्तर of a bhāva and of a lord in the same way.

गोपुराद्यंशे सिते पुण्यवान् ।

gopurādyaṃśe site puṇyavān |

When Venus is in the gopura or a higher varga-dignity (aṃśa), ⟨the native is⟩ meritorious.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: गोपुरादि = gopura and upward on the vaiśeṣikāṃśa ladder of the daśavarga (pārijāta, uttama, gopura, siṃhāsana, pārāvata, devaloka …), gopura being the rung earned by dignity in four vargas; the printing glosses 'Gopura or other (higher) Vaiseshikamsa'.

मृद्वंशे जीवे पुण्यवान् ।

mṛdvaṃśe jīve puṇyavān |

When Jupiter is in the Mṛdu aṃśa, ⟨the native is⟩ meritorious.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Mṛdu is one of the sixty ṣaṣṭyaṃśas named in this edition at A.22; the printing glosses मृदु as the Śaṣṭyaṃśa, and sūtra 16 below names a क्रूर (cruel) ṣaṣṭyaṃśa from the same list.

भोजनेऽर्के पुण्ये पुण्यवान् ।

bhojane'rke puṇye puṇyavān |

When the Sun is in the 9th house (puṇya) in the bhojana ⟨avasthā, the 'dining' state⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ meritorious.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पुण्य names the 9th house here (so the printing) and भोजन is the ninth of the twelve śayanādi avasthās, not a place; the printing glosses भोजनावस्था. Sūtra 6 confirms the avasthā scheme is in play with निद्रित.

धर्मे नगे निद्रिते राहौ पुण्यक्षेत्रवासी पुण्यवांश्च ।

dharme nage nidrite rāhau puṇyakṣetravāsī puṇyavāṃśca |

When Rāhu is in the 9th house (dharma) in the naga ⟨avasthā⟩ ⟨or⟩ asleep (nidrā), ⟨the native⟩ dwells in holy places and is meritorious.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नग is the doubtful word. The printing takes it as an avasthā and equates it with āgamana — 'in नग-Naga (आगमन-Agamana) or निद्रावस्था' — reading the two locatives as alternatives. The Sanskrit itself only stacks नगे and निद्रिते on राहौ and states no equation, and नग could also be read as the immovable/fixed (na-ga) or as the number-word seven; ⟨or⟩ is supplied on the printing's authority, since a graha holds one avasthā at a time.

धर्मे शुभदृष्ट्यधिके पुण्यवान् ।

dharme śubhadṛṣṭyadhike puṇyavān |

When the 9th house has the greater share of benefic aspect, ⟨the native is⟩ meritorious.

चन्द्रारावङ्गे शनौ द्यूने पातकी ।

candrārāvaṅge śanau dyūne pātakī |

The Moon and Mars in the 1st house (aṅga) and Saturn in the 7th (dyūna) — ⟨the native is⟩ a sinner.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पातकी is one guilty of pātaka, a grave sin — kept at that weight through this viveka; the printing's 'sinfully-inclined' (and at 9 'sinfully minded') softens a noun that names the deed done, not a leaning.

लग्नेशे सभौमे सपापेन्दौ षष्ठे पातकी।

lagneśe sabhaume sapāpendau ṣaṣṭhe pātakī|

When the lord of the lagna is joined with Mars, and the Moon joined with a malefic is in the 6th house, ⟨the native is⟩ a sinner.

एकांशगौ पुष्पवन्तौ सपापौ महापातकी ।

ekāṃśagau puṣpavantau sapāpau mahāpātakī |

The two luminaries (puṣpavantau) in one and the same aṃśa, together with a malefic — ⟨the native is⟩ guilty of a great sin (mahāpātaka).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पुष्पवन्तौ, 'the two flowering ones', is the standard dual for the Sun and Moon. एकांश is 'one and the same aṃśa'; the printing specifies the navāṃśa.

अष्टमेशेऽङ्के पातकी ।

aṣṭameśe'ṅke pātakī |

The lord of the 8th house in the 9th (aṅka) — ⟨the native is⟩ a sinner.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्क is the number-word for nine, and the printing's English reads 'the lord of the 8th house occupy the 9th'. It is not अङ्ग, the 1st house, which this text writes out at sūtras 8 and 23 — the two words stand one dot apart in this OCR, so the distinction is worth stating.

भौमार्कावेकत्र पातकी ।

bhaumārkāvekatra pātakī |

Mars and the Sun in one place ⟨the same house⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ a sinner.

पापान्तरे पापदृष्टयुते तुर्ये वा तदीशे पातकी ।

pāpāntare pāpadṛṣṭayute turye vā tadīśe pātakī |

When the 4th house (turya), or its lord, is between malefics and is aspected by or joined with malefics, ⟨the native is⟩ a sinner.

सुखगैः पापैः सुखेशेऽबले गुलिकयुते पातकी ।

sukhagaiḥ pāpaiḥ sukheśe'bale gulikayute pātakī |

With malefics in the 4th house, and the lord of the 4th weak and joined with Gulika — ⟨the native is⟩ a sinner.

धर्मे पापे पातकी।

dharme pāpe pātakī|

A malefic in the 9th house — ⟨the native is⟩ a sinner.

धर्मपे पापयुते वा क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे वा पापान्तरे पातकी ।

dharmape pāpayute vā krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe vā pāpāntare pātakī |

When the lord of the 9th is joined with a malefic, or is in a cruel (krūra) ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, or is between malefics, ⟨the native is⟩ a sinner.

मन्दतमसी धर्मे गुलिकदृष्टेऽतिपापी ।

mandatamasī dharme gulikadṛṣṭe'tipāpī |

Saturn and Rāhu (tamas) in the 9th house, it being aspected by Gulika — ⟨the native is⟩ exceedingly sinful.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मन्दतमसी is the dual of manda + tamas, Saturn and Rāhu; गुलिकदृष्टे is singular and agrees with धर्मे, so it is the house that Gulika aspects, not the pair.

सराहुचन्द्रे सपापगुरुदृष्टेऽतिपातकी ।

sarāhucandre sapāpagurudṛṣṭe'tipātakī |

When the Moon is joined with Rāhu and is aspected by a Jupiter that is itself joined with a malefic, ⟨the native is⟩ an utter sinner (atipātakī).

व्यये मन्दे गुप्तदोषी व्यसनी च ।

vyaye mande guptadoṣī vyasanī ca |

Saturn in the 12th house (vyaya) — ⟨the native⟩ has hidden faults ⟨sins he keeps concealed⟩ and is addicted to vice.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printing's English gives व्यसनी as 'a pessimist', which the word does not mean: vyasanin is one given over to vice or dissipation, and is rendered so here. गुप्तदोषी is 'having a concealed fault' — the printing's 'will hide his sins' takes दोष as sin, which the surrounding sūtras support.

द्यूने चन्द्रार्कौ मन्ददृष्टौ पातकी ।

dyūne candrārkau mandadṛṣṭau pātakī |

The Moon and the Sun in the 7th house (dyūna), aspected by Saturn — ⟨the native is⟩ a sinner.

कृशेन्द्वारयोगे पातकी ।

kṛśendvārayoge pātakī |

In the conjunction of a waning (kṛśa, 'lean') Moon with Mars, ⟨the native is⟩ a sinner.

सपापौ गुलिकधनेशौ पातकी ।

sapāpau gulikadhaneśau pātakī |

Gulika and the lord of the 2nd house (dhana), both joined with malefics — ⟨the native is⟩ a sinner.

जीवेऽङ्गे मदे मन्दे पातकी ।

jīve'ṅge made mande pātakī |

Jupiter in the 1st house (aṅga) and Saturn in the 7th (mada) — ⟨the native is⟩ a sinner.

षष्ठे चन्द्रे सपापे भौमे पातकी ।

ṣaṣṭhe candre sapāpe bhaume pātakī |

The Moon in the 6th house and Mars joined with a malefic — ⟨the native is⟩ a sinner.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सपापे stands between चन्द्रे and भौमे and could attach either way; the printing reads it with Mars ('the Moon be in the 6th house and Mars be conjoined with a malefic') and it is rendered so. Read with the Moon it would put the malefic beside the Moon in the 6th.

केत्वर्कावंशे शिवभक्तः।

ketvarkāvaṃśe śivabhaktaḥ|

Ketu and the Sun in the aṃśa — ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of Śiva.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: For sūtras 25–30 (and on to 33) the Sanskrit says only 'in the aṃśa'. The printing supplies the kārakāṃśa — the navāṃśa occupied by the Ātmakāraka — in every one of them, and its note after sūtra 33 gives the reason: Ketu is the jñāna-kāraka and his association with a graha is what makes the devotion. The specification is the edition's, not the sūtra's, and is kept out of the translation line.

अंशे केत्विज्यौ शिवभक्तः।

aṃśe ketvijyau śivabhaktaḥ|

Ketu and Jupiter (ijya) in the aṃśa — ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of Śiva.

सुते सूर्ययुतदृष्टे सूर्यशङ्करभक्तः ।

sute sūryayutadṛṣṭe sūryaśaṅkarabhaktaḥ |

When the 5th house (suta) is joined with or aspected by the Sun, ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of Sūrya and Śaṅkara.

अंशे केतुचन्द्रौ गौरीभक्तः ।

aṃśe ketucandrau gaurībhaktaḥ |

Ketu and the Moon in the aṃśa — ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of Gaurī.

अंशे शिखिशुक्रौ लक्ष्मीभक्तः।

aṃśe śikhiśukrau lakṣmībhaktaḥ|

Ketu (śikhi) and Venus in the aṃśa — ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of Lakṣmī.

अंशे ज्ञार्कजौ विष्णुभक्तः ।

aṃśe jñārkajau viṣṇubhaktaḥ |

Mercury and Saturn (arkaja, the Sun's son) in the aṃśa — ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of Viṣṇu.

तुर्येशे सुते विष्णुभक्तः ।

turyeśe sute viṣṇubhaktaḥ |

When the lord of the 4th (turya) is in the 5th (suta), ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of Viṣṇu.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: turya ('fourth') and suta ('son') are this text's names for the 4th and 5th houses.

व्ययेशे धनाष्टमे सुतेशसम्बन्धे सात्विकदेवभक्तः ।

vyayeśe dhanāṣṭame suteśasambandhe sātvikadevabhaktaḥ |

When the lord of the 12th (vyaya) is in the 2nd (dhana) or the 8th and stands in relation (sambandha) with the lord of the 5th, ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of sāttvika deities.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dhanāṣṭame is a compound locative, 'in the 2nd or the 8th' — so the edition's own English takes it. sambandha through this run of sūtras means relation by exchange of houses, conjunction or mutual aspect (the edition glosses it so at 32 and repeats 'as aforesaid' at 38-43).

अंशे केत्वारौ स्कन्दभक्तः।

aṃśe ketvārau skandabhaktaḥ|

When Ketu and Mars (āra) are in the aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of Skanda.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra says only 'in the aṃśa', naming no chart-point; the edition supplies, for the whole run of sūtras 25-33, the navāṃśa rāśi occupied by the ātmakāraka (the kārakāṃśa). That supplied subject is the edition's, not the mūla's, and is left out of the translation line.

जीवेशस्यांशेशे गुरुशुक्रदृष्टे गुरुभक्तः ।

jīveśasyāṃśeśe guruśukradṛṣṭe gurubhaktaḥ |

When the lord of the aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ of the lord of ⟨the sign occupied by⟩ Jupiter (jīva) is aspected by Jupiter or Venus, ⟨the native is⟩ devoted to his guru.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: jīveśa is the dispositor of Jupiter; aṃśeśa the lord of the navāṃśa that dispositor occupies. The dvandva guruśukra- does not distinguish 'and' from 'or' (the same ambiguity recurs at 44); the edition reads 'or' here and 'and' there. gurubhakta is 'devoted to his preceptor' — the Hindi गुरुभक्त keeps the preceptor/Jupiter ambiguity that the English must resolve.

नन्दे शुभे गुरुयुतदृष्टे गुरुभक्तः।

nande śubhe guruyutadṛṣṭe gurubhaktaḥ|

When a benefic is in the 9th (nanda) and is joined or aspected by Jupiter, ⟨the native is⟩ devoted to his guru.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: nanda is the number-word for nine, hence the 9th house (contrast nandana = 'son' = the 5th, at 37). The edition construes the same locatives as 'if the 9th house be a benefic one'.

धर्मपे मृद्वंशादौ गुरुभक्तः ।

dharmape mṛdvaṃśādau gurubhaktaḥ |

When the lord of the 9th (dharma) is in the Mṛdu ⟨ṣaṣṭyāṃśa⟩ or the like, ⟨the native is⟩ devoted to his guru.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mṛdvaṃśa = mṛdu + aṃśa. The edition reads it as the ṣaṣṭyāṃśa named Mṛdu ('mild') — one of the sixty listed in this book's own sūtra A.22 — and takes ādau to cover the other auspicious ṣaṣṭyāṃśas. Same term at 51.

नन्दने चन्द्रसम्बन्धे यक्षिणीभक्तः।

nandane candrasambandhe yakṣiṇībhaktaḥ|

When the 5th (nandana) stands in relation with the Moon, ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of Yakṣiṇīs.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: A yakṣiṇī is a female yakṣa; the edition's commentary calls them attendant spirits of Durgā, its translation line loosening this to 'sylvan deities or fairies'. The Sanskrit names the class, not a softened equivalent, and is kept.

पुत्रे भौमसम्बन्धे स्कन्दभैरवभक्तः ।

putre bhaumasambandhe skandabhairavabhaktaḥ |

When the 5th (putra) stands in relation with Mars (bhauma), ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of Skanda and Bhairava.

सुते ज्ञसम्बन्धे सर्वदेवभक्तः।

sute jñasambandhe sarvadevabhaktaḥ|

When the 5th (suta) stands in relation with Mercury (jña), ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of all the gods.

सुते गुरुसम्बन्धे शारदाभक्तः ।

sute gurusambandhe śāradābhaktaḥ |

When the 5th stands in relation with Jupiter (guru), ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of Śāradā ⟨Sarasvatī⟩.

सुते शुक्रसम्बन्धे चामुण्डाभक्तः।

sute śukrasambandhe cāmuṇḍābhaktaḥ|

When the 5th stands in relation with Venus (śukra), ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of Cāmuṇḍā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla names Cāmuṇḍā, the fierce emaciated form; the edition's English generalises her to 'Goddess Durga'. The name is kept as the text has it.

सुते मन्दसम्बन्धे प्रेताशन्यादिभक्तः।

sute mandasambandhe pretāśanyādibhaktaḥ|

When the 5th stands in relation with Saturn (manda), ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of pretas, corpse-devouring ⟨spirits⟩ and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: प्रेताशन्यादि splits two ways: preta-aśanī-ādi, 'the corpse-eating ⟨female spirit⟩ and the like' (taken here), or preta + aśani + ādi, 'the departed, the thunderbolt, and the like' — which is how the edition reads it ('departed beings, ghosts, fire, etc.'). Either way the class is Saturn's: the dark and unpropitiated powers. The Hindi keeps अशनी unresolved.

तमःसम्बन्धे पुत्रे परपीडकदेवभक्तः ।

tamaḥsambandhe putre parapīḍakadevabhaktaḥ |

When the 5th (putra) stands in relation with Rāhu (tamas), ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of a deity that afflicts others.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tamas ('darkness') is Rāhu. The edition's commentary offers a second construction of parapīḍakadeva: not a deity who torments, but a votary who worships his deity precisely in order to injure others.

पञ्चमे भृगुचन्द्रसम्बन्धे स्त्रीदेवभक्तः ।

pañcame bhṛgucandrasambandhe strīdevabhaktaḥ |

When the 5th stands in relation with Venus (bhṛgu) and the Moon, ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of female deities.

पुत्रे पुङ्ग्रहसम्बन्धे पुन्देवभक्तः ।

putre puṅgrahasambandhe pundevabhaktaḥ |

When the 5th (putra) stands in relation with male grahas, ⟨the native is⟩ a devotee of male deities.

गुरौ वा भृगौ स्वोच्चशुभवर्गे धर्मेशे सबले धर्माध्यक्षः ।

gurau vā bhṛgau svoccaśubhavarge dharmeśe sabale dharmādhyakṣaḥ |

When Jupiter or Venus (bhṛgu) is in its exaltation (svocca) or in a benefic varga, and the lord of the 9th (dharma) is strong, ⟨the native becomes⟩ an overseer of dharma ⟨a judge⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dharmādhyakṣa is 'one set over dharma' — it covers both the magistrate who administers the law and the head placed over religious affairs; the edition renders it flatly 'a Judge'. svocca is read as the graha's own exaltation, with the edition, here and at 56 and 58.

इज्याच्छौ ज्ञांशे धर्माध्यक्षः ।

ijyācchau jñāṃśe dharmādhyakṣaḥ |

When Jupiter (ijya) and Venus (accha) are in an aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ of Mercury (jña), ⟨the native becomes⟩ an overseer of dharma ⟨a judge⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two points in the printed line. (1) accha, 'the clear/bright one', is this text's epithet for Venus: the same dual compound stands at M.1 (jñācchau, which the edition's facing English renders 'Mercury and Venus') and at M.60 (candrācchau); here the edition renders ijyācchau 'Jupiter and Venus'. (2) The printed धर्माध्यर्क्षः is an akṣara-level error for धर्माध्यक्षः, which sūtras 46 and 48 read on either side of it. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads धर्माध्यक्षः; this sentence names धर्माध्यर्क्षः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

धर्मपे शुभयुतदृष्टे धर्माध्यक्षः।

dharmape śubhayutadṛṣṭe dharmādhyakṣaḥ|

When the lord of the 9th (dharma) is joined or aspected by a benefic, ⟨the native becomes⟩ an overseer of dharma ⟨a judge⟩.

कुम्भांशे तडागादिकर्ता ।

kumbhāṃśe taḍāgādikartā |

When the aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ is Kumbha ⟨Aquarius⟩, ⟨the native becomes⟩ a maker of tanks and the like.

  • About this edition: As at 33, the sūtra names no graha for the aṃśa; the edition supplies the ātmakāraka's navāṃśa. The supplied subject is left in the note rather than the line.

खेशे गोपुरे कूपादिकर्ता ।

kheśe gopure kūpādikartā |

When the lord of the 10th (kha) is in gopura ⟨-aṃśa⟩, ⟨the native becomes⟩ a maker of wells and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: gopura here is not a gateway-tower but the gopurāṃśa, one of the vaiśeṣikāṃśa dignities named by the number of vargas in which a graha holds own or friendly ground; the edition reads 'has attained a Gopuramsa'. Same term at 53.

भाग्यपे मृद्वंशे शुभदृष्टे कूपादिकर्ता ।

bhāgyape mṛdvaṃśe śubhadṛṣṭe kūpādikartā |

When the lord of the 9th (bhāgya) is in the Mṛdu ⟨ṣaṣṭyāṃśa⟩ and is aspected by benefics, ⟨the native becomes⟩ a maker of wells and the like.

खे सुखेशे जीर्णोद्धारादिकर्ता।

khe sukheśe jīrṇoddhārādikartā|

When the lord of the 4th (sukha) is in the 10th (kha), ⟨the native becomes⟩ a restorer of what has fallen into ruin, and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: jīrṇoddhāra is the technical term for the restoration of decayed temples and public foundations; the edition renders 'renovating old charitable or religious institutions'.

सजीवे ज्ञे गोपुरे वा सभौमे सुस्थानकर्ता।

sajīve jñe gopure vā sabhaume susthānakartā|

When Mercury (jña), in gopura ⟨-aṃśa⟩, is joined with Jupiter (jīva) or with Mars (bhauma), ⟨the native becomes⟩ a maker of fine ⟨public⟩ edifices.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vā links the two accompaniments sajīve / sabhaume, as the edition also construes it. susthāna is literally 'a good place'; the edition specifies 'a public hall, temple or the like'.

ज्ञेज्यकर्मपाः सबला यज्ञकर्ता ।

jñejyakarmapāḥ sabalā yajñakartā |

When Mercury (jña), Jupiter (ijya) and the lord of the 10th (karma) are strong, ⟨the native becomes⟩ a performer of sacrifices.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed सबला stands for सबलाः (nominative plural agreeing with the three lords); kept as printed.

खे ज्ञे खपेऽङ्के शुभांशे शुभदृष्टे यज्ञकर्ता ।

khe jñe khape'ṅke śubhāṃśe śubhadṛṣṭe yajñakartā |

When Mercury is in the 10th (kha), and the lord of the 10th is in the 9th (aṅka) in a benefic aṃśa and aspected by a benefic, ⟨the native becomes⟩ a performer of sacrifices.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅka is a number-word for nine, hence the 9th house — as nanda is at 35.

धर्मे ज्ञे स्वोच्चे पापदृग्घीने यज्ञकर्ता।

dharme jñe svocce pāpadṛgghīne yajñakartā|

When Mercury is in the 9th (dharma), in its exaltation (svocca) and free of malefic aspect, ⟨the native becomes⟩ a performer of sacrifices.

ज्ञेज्यखेशाः सबलाः शुभदृष्टा विशेषेण यज्ञकर्ता ।

jñejyakheśāḥ sabalāḥ śubhadṛṣṭā viśeṣeṇa yajñakartā |

When Mercury, Jupiter and the lord of the 10th (kha) are strong and aspected by benefics, ⟨the native becomes⟩ a performer of sacrifices in particular measure.

खपे स्वोच्चे सपापे नीचांशगे दुःस्थे यज्ञारम्भोत्तरं विघ्नकर्ता।

khape svocce sapāpe nīcāṃśage duḥsthe yajñārambhottaraṃ vighnakartā|

When the lord of the 10th, ⟨though⟩ in its exaltation (svocca), is with a malefic, has gone to a debilitation aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩ and is ill-placed (duḥstha), ⟨the native becomes⟩ a maker of obstruction after the sacrifice has been begun.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: duḥstha = placed in a duḥsthāna, the 6th, 8th or 12th, so the edition. The apodosis is harsh and stays so: the native does not merely meet obstacles, he is the one who makes them, and only after the yajña is under way.

चन्द्राद्वा शुक्राद्धने मन्देऽयशः ।

candrādvā śukrāddhane mande'yaśaḥ |

When Saturn (manda) is in the 2nd (dhana) from the Moon, or from Venus, ⟨there is⟩ infamy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The two ablatives candrāt / śukrāt are reckoning-points: the 2nd counted from the Moon, or the 2nd counted from Venus.

चन्द्राच्छौ लग्ने मन्ददृष्टेऽयशः ।

candrācchau lagne mandadṛṣṭe'yaśaḥ |

When the Moon and Venus (accha) are in the ascendant (lagna) and aspected by Saturn (manda), ⟨there is⟩ infamy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed चन्द्राच्छो is for चन्द्राच्छौ, the dual dvandva candra-acchau, 'the Moon and Venus' — accha being this text's epithet for Venus, as at 47. The ो/ौ difference is one stroke and is the kind of slip this OCR makes; the edition's facing English confirms the dual ('the Moon and Venus occupy the Lagna'). Read instead as an ablative from the Moon, the cluster -cch- would be impossible: candrāt + a- gives candrād a-, not candrācch-. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads चन्द्राच्छौ; this sentence names चन्द्राच्छो, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

तुर्येशेऽष्टमे भाग्यहीनः ।

turyeśe'ṣṭame bhāgyahīnaḥ |

With the lord of the 4th ⟨turya⟩ in the 8th, ⟨the native is⟩ devoid of fortune.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: तुर्य (turya) is the ordinary number-word for 'fourth'; the sūtra names the 4th lord, not the 9th, even though the viveka's subject is the 9th bhāva.

लग्नार्थदारपा दुःस्था विवाहात्परतोऽभाग्यम् ।

lagnārthadārapā duḥsthā vivāhātparato'bhāgyam |

The lords of the lagna, of the 2nd ⟨artha⟩ and of the 7th ⟨dāra⟩ ill-placed (duḥstha) — misfortune after marriage.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: duḥstha = 'ill-placed'; the term is left unglossed because the sūtra does not enumerate which houses count as duḥstha.

धर्मपे षष्ठे शत्रुनीचदृष्टेऽभाग्यम् ।

dharmape ṣaṣṭhe śatrunīcadṛṣṭe'bhāgyam |

With the lord of the 9th ⟨dharma⟩ in the 6th, aspected by an enemy ⟨graha⟩ or by a debilitated ⟨graha⟩ — misfortune.

भाग्येशे क्रूरांशे नीचभांशेऽभाग्यम् ।

bhāgyeśe krūrāṃśe nīcabhāṃśe'bhāgyam |

With the lord of the 9th ⟨bhāgya⟩ in a malefic's aṃśa, or in the aṃśa of its sign of debilitation — misfortune.

भाग्यपेऽबले धर्मे पापा अभाग्यम् ।

bhāgyape'bale dharme pāpā abhāgyam |

With the lord of the 9th ⟨bhāgya⟩ weak and malefics in the 9th ⟨dharma⟩ — misfortune.

लग्नपेऽबलेऽभाग्यम् ।

lagnape'bale'bhāgyam |

With the lord of the lagna weak — misfortune.

केन्द्रे शनौ जीवचन्द्रान्यतरादृष्टेऽभाग्यम् ।

kendre śanau jīvacandrānyatarādṛṣṭe'bhāgyam |

With Saturn in a kendra and unaspected by either Jupiter ⟨jīva⟩ or the Moon — misfortune.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: anyatara-adṛṣṭa: unaspected by either of the two, i.e. neither Jupiter nor the Moon casts an aspect.

धनेशे लाभे कर्मपयुतदृष्टे भाग्यवान् ।

dhaneśe lābhe karmapayutadṛṣṭe bhāgyavān |

With the lord of the 2nd ⟨dhana⟩ in the 11th ⟨lābha⟩, joined with or aspected by the lord of the 10th ⟨karma⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ fortunate.

चरेऽङ्गे तदीशे च तथा चरखेटदृष्टे विदेशे भाग्योदयः ।

care'ṅge tadīśe ca tathā carakheṭadṛṣṭe videśe bhāgyodayaḥ |

With the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ in a movable ⟨sign⟩ and its lord likewise, and likewise aspected by grahas in movable ⟨signs⟩ — the rise of fortune ⟨comes⟩ in a foreign land.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kheṭa = graha. Sūtras 69–71 form one set: movable → abroad, fixed → at home, and 'otherwise' (dual) → everywhere.

स्थिरलग्नाङ्गेशौ स्थिरखेटदृष्टौ स्वदेशे भाग्योदयः ।

sthiralagnāṅgeśau sthirakheṭadṛṣṭau svadeśe bhāgyodayaḥ |

The fixed lagna and the lord of the lagna ⟨aṅgeśa⟩, both aspected by grahas in fixed ⟨signs⟩ — the rise of fortune in one's own country.

अन्यथा सर्वत्र भाग्योदयः।

anyathā sarvatra bhāgyodayaḥ|

Otherwise ⟨with dual signs⟩, the rise of fortune everywhere.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: 'Otherwise' is the third member of the movable/fixed pair of 69–70, i.e. the dual (dvisvabhāva) case; the sūtra leaves it unnamed and the bracketed gloss supplies it.

शुक्रे उपचये सप्तमे वा विवाहोत्तरं भाग्योदयः।

śukre upacaye saptame vā vivāhottaraṃ bhāgyodayaḥ|

With Venus in an upacaya ⟨the 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th⟩, or in the 7th — the rise of fortune after marriage.

जायेशे सप्तमोपचये विवाहोत्तरं भाग्योदयः।

jāyeśe saptamopacaye vivāhottaraṃ bhāgyodayaḥ|

With the lord of the 7th ⟨jāyā⟩ in the 7th or in an upacaya — the rise of fortune after marriage.

धर्मे शुभदृष्ट्याधिक्ये सर्वदेशे भाग्योदयः ।

dharme śubhadṛṣṭyādhikye sarvadeśe bhāgyodayaḥ |

With a preponderance of benefic aspects on the 9th ⟨dharma⟩ — the rise of fortune in every land.

लाभेशेऽङ्के कर्मपयुतदृष्टे भाग्योदयः ।

lābheśe'ṅke karmapayutadṛṣṭe bhāgyodayaḥ |

With the lord of the 11th ⟨lābha⟩ in the 9th ⟨aṅka⟩, joined with or aspected by the lord of the 10th ⟨karma⟩ — the rise of fortune.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्क (aṅka) is read as the number-word for nine, i.e. the 9th bhāva — the reading is settled by sūtra 84, where लग्नेशेऽङ्के अङ्केशेऽङ्गे can only be a lagna/9th exchange, and it is what makes 75, 77, 78, 79 and 84 cohere with this viveka's subject. Same rendering used throughout this unit.

धर्मपेऽर्थे कर्मपयुतदृष्टे भाग्योदयः ।

dharmape'rthe karmapayutadṛṣṭe bhāgyodayaḥ |

With the lord of the 9th ⟨dharma⟩ in the 2nd ⟨artha⟩, joined with or aspected by the lord of the 10th ⟨karma⟩ — the rise of fortune.

लाभपेऽङ्के धनपे लाभे धर्मेशेऽर्थे खपयुतदृष्टे महाभाग्योदयः।

lābhape'ṅke dhanape lābhe dharmeśe'rthe khapayutadṛṣṭe mahābhāgyodayaḥ|

With the lord of the 11th ⟨lābha⟩ in the 9th ⟨aṅka⟩, the lord of the 2nd ⟨dhana⟩ in the 11th ⟨lābha⟩, and the lord of the 9th ⟨dharma⟩ in the 2nd ⟨artha⟩, joined with or aspected by the lord of the 10th ⟨kha⟩ — a great rise of fortune.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The OCR prints ऽङके without the conjunct (aṅake in the IAST); read अङ्के, as at 75. ख (kha, 'the sky') is the 10th, so खप = the lord of the 10th, the same lord named as कर्मप in 75–76. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads लाभपेऽङ्के; this sentence names aṅake and ऽङके, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

सोत्थाङ्केशौ शुभयुतदृष्टौ वा शुभांशगौ भ्रातृधनतो भाग्योदयः।

sotthāṅkeśau śubhayutadṛṣṭau vā śubhāṃśagau bhrātṛdhanato bhāgyodayaḥ|

The lords of the 3rd ⟨sahottha⟩ and of the 9th ⟨aṅka⟩ joined with or aspected by benefics, or placed in benefic aṃśas — the rise of fortune through a brother's wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सोत्थ = sahottha, 'born together' = the 3rd bhāva (brothers), which is what makes भ्रातृधन the outcome. भ्रातृधनतः is left as the compound in the Hindi because it can be read either 'from a brother's wealth' or 'from brothers and from wealth'; the English resolves it to the first.

पुत्राङ्केशयोगे शुभयुतदृष्टे सुततो भाग्योदयः॥

putrāṅkeśayoge śubhayutadṛṣṭe sutato bhāgyodayaḥ||

In the conjunction of the lords of the 5th ⟨putra⟩ and of the 9th ⟨aṅka⟩, joined with or aspected by benefics — the rise of fortune through the son.

त्रिकोणे भाग्यपयुतदृष्टे सुततो भाग्योदयः ।

trikoṇe bhāgyapayutadṛṣṭe sutato bhāgyodayaḥ |

With the trikoṇa ⟨the 5th⟩ joined with or aspected by the lord of the 9th ⟨bhāgya⟩ — the rise of fortune through the son.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Both locatives are singular, so the compound could instead qualify the 9th lord ('the lord of the 9th in a trikoṇa, joined or aspected'); the rendering above takes त्रिकोण as the head because सुततः makes the 5th the trikoṇa meant. The alternative reading is recorded here rather than silently dropped.

भाग्ये इज्याच्छयुतदृष्टे भाग्यवान् ।

bhāgye ijyācchayutadṛṣṭe bhāgyavān |

The 9th ⟨bhāgya⟩ joined with or aspected by Jupiter (ijya) or Venus (accha) — ⟨the native is⟩ fortunate.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. इज्याच्छ is the dvandva ijya + accha, Jupiter and Venus. The earlier note guessed Venus from the parallel at 82 but then left the word UNTRANSLATED in both languages 'rather than resolved to Venus on a guess'. It is not a guess. 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'.

धर्मपे शुक्रेज्ययुतदृष्टे भाग्यवान् ।

dharmape śukrejyayutadṛṣṭe bhāgyavān |

With the lord of the 9th ⟨dharma⟩ joined with or aspected by Venus and Jupiter ⟨ijya⟩ — fortunate.

लग्नार्थेशौ पुत्रे भाग्यवान् ।

lagnārtheśau putre bhāgyavān |

With the lords of the lagna and of the 2nd ⟨artha⟩ in the 5th ⟨putra⟩ — fortunate.

लग्नेशेऽङ्केऽङ्केशेऽङ्गे भाग्यवान् ।

lagneśe'ṅke'ṅkeśe'ṅge bhāgyavān |

With the lord of the lagna in the 9th ⟨aṅka⟩ and the lord of the 9th in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ — fortunate.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: This is the sūtra that fixes अङ्क = the 9th: अङ्ग (the lagna) and अङ्क stand in the same line as two different houses in an exchange. The OCR prints the second one अङकेशे without the conjunct while the first is अङ्के; both are read अङ्क.

भाग्येशे लाभे भाग्यवान् ।

bhāgyeśe lābhe bhāgyavān |

With the lord of the 9th ⟨bhāgya⟩ in the 11th ⟨lābha⟩ — fortunate.

भाग्यायपयोगे भाग्यवान् ।

bhāgyāyapayoge bhāgyavān |

In the conjunction of the lords of the 9th ⟨bhāgya⟩ and of the 11th ⟨āya⟩ — fortunate.

भाग्येशेऽर्थे भाग्यवान् ।

bhāgyeśe'rthe bhāgyavān |

With the lord of the 9th ⟨bhāgya⟩ in the 2nd ⟨artha⟩ — fortunate.

सोत्थपुत्राङ्गे सकलग्रहे भाग्यवान् ।

sotthaputrāṅge sakalagrahe bhāgyavān |

With all the grahas in the 3rd ⟨sahottha⟩, the 5th ⟨putra⟩ and the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ — fortunate.

खे राहौ वा सूर्ये गङ्गास्नानम् ।

khe rāhau vā sūrye gaṅgāsnānam |

With Rāhu in the 10th ⟨kha⟩, or the Sun ⟨there⟩ — a bath in the Gaṅgā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ख (kha, 'the sky') is the 10th bhāva, as in 77. The apodosis is the bare noun गङ्गास्नानम् — the native obtains bathing in the Gaṅgā; no verb is supplied in the mūla.

खे पूर्णेन्द्विज्यौ गङ्गास्नानम् ।

khe pūrṇendvijyau gaṅgāsnānam |

With the full Moon and Jupiter ⟨ijya⟩ in the 10th ⟨kha⟩ — a bath in the Gaṅgā.

खे जीवे गङ्गास्नानम् ।

khe jīve gaṅgāsnānam |

Jupiter in the 10th (kha) — a bath in the Gaṅgā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kha ('sky') is the 10th house, the meridian; the sūtras of this viveka name houses by such words throughout. Sūtras 91–97 all end gaṅgāsnānam, 'bathing in the Gaṅgā' — a pilgrimage to the river, not a metaphor.

शुक्रेज्यौ केन्द्रे युक्तौ गङ्गास्नानम् ।

śukrejyau kendre yuktau gaṅgāsnānam |

Venus and Jupiter joined in a kendra — a bath in the Gaṅgā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ijya ('the one to be worshipped with offerings') is Jupiter; the dual śukrejyau makes both the subject of yuktau.

धनेशशुक्रेज्यास्तुङ्गे गङ्गास्नानम् ।

dhaneśaśukrejyāstuṅge gaṅgāsnānam |

The lord of the 2nd, Venus and Jupiter exalted — a bath in the Gaṅgā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dhaneśa is the lord of the 2nd (dhana, wealth). tuṅga is exaltation; the locative singular serves the whole dvandva.

ज्ञे वा तदीशेऽन्त्ये गङ्गास्नानम् ।

jñe vā tadīśe'ntye gaṅgāsnānam |

Mercury, or the lord of that ⟨house⟩, in the 12th (antya) — a bath in the Gaṅgā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: antya, 'the last', is the 12th house. tadīśa, 'the lord of that', has no expressed antecedent: most naturally the lord of the 12th itself (so, Mercury in the 12th, or the 12th lord in the 12th), though the lord of the sign Mercury occupies is grammatically possible. Left ambiguous in both renderings rather than resolved.

चन्द्रे सोत्थे शुभदृष्टे जलर्क्षे गङ्गास्नानम् ।

candre sotthe śubhadṛṣṭe jalarkṣe gaṅgāsnānam |

The Moon in the 3rd (sottha), aspected by benefics, in a watery sign — a bath in the Gaṅgā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. सोत्थे is the THIRD HOUSE, and the sūtra reads: the Moon in the 3rd, that 3rd being a watery sign, aspected by benefics. The earlier note printed the untranslated word at the reader with '⟨sense doubtful⟩'. 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.

धर्मेशे जलर्क्षे केन्द्रे शुभदृष्टे गङ्गास्नानम् ।

dharmeśe jalarkṣe kendre śubhadṛṣṭe gaṅgāsnānam |

The lord of the 9th in a watery sign, in a kendra, aspected by benefics — a bath in the Gaṅgā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dharma is the 9th house; dharmeśa its lord.

धर्मे जीवदृष्टे गङ्गास्नानम् ।

dharme jīvadṛṣṭe gaṅgāsnānam |

The 9th aspected by Jupiter — a bath in the Gaṅgā.

रन्ध्रगे ज्ञे शुभदृष्टेऽनेकतीर्थदर्शनम् ।

randhrage jñe śubhadṛṣṭe'nekatīrthadarśanam |

Mercury in the 8th (randhra), aspected by benefics — the sight of many tīrthas ⟨places of pilgrimage⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: randhra ('the aperture') is the 8th house. tīrtha-darśana is literally 'the seeing of fords' — the standard idiom for visiting sacred bathing places; the sūtra says darśana, seeing, not bathing, and the rendering keeps that.

धर्मकर्मपयोगे महायात्रा।

dharmakarmapayoge mahāyātrā|

The lords of the 9th and the 10th in conjunction — a great journey.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dharma-karma-pa-yoge: the single pa ('lord') serves both dharma (9th) and karma (10th) — the well-known dharmakarmādhipati combination. mahāyātrā is a great journey; in this pilgrimage context, a long pilgrimage.

धर्मे शुभदृष्ट्याधिक्ये धर्मपे केन्द्रायकोणे महायात्रा।

dharme śubhadṛṣṭyādhikye dharmape kendrāyakoṇe mahāyātrā|

The 9th with a preponderance of benefic aspects, and the lord of the 9th in a kendra, in the 11th (āya) or in a trikoṇa — a great journey.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kendrāya-koṇe resolves as kendra, āya (11th) or koṇa (trikoṇa). ādhikya is a preponderance — more benefic aspect than malefic, not merely the presence of one.

चन्द्राद्धर्मेशे केन्द्रे महायात्रा।

candrāddharmeśe kendre mahāyātrā|

The lord of the 9th from the Moon in a kendra — a great journey.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: candrāt: the houses are counted from the Moon, not from the lagna, in this sūtra and the next.

चन्द्राद्धर्मे शुभदृष्ट्याधिक्ये वा शुभयुते महायात्रा।

candrāddharme śubhadṛṣṭyādhikye vā śubhayute mahāyātrā|

The 9th from the Moon with a preponderance of benefic aspects, or joined by a benefic — a great journey.

ग्रहचतुष्टयादि एकर्क्षगं प्रव्रज्याकरम् ।

grahacatuṣṭayādi ekarkṣagaṃ pravrajyākaram |

Four grahas or more occupying one sign make for pravrajyā ⟨the going forth into asceticism⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: grahacatuṣṭayādi is 'a set of four grahas and upward' — four is the floor, not the number. The count four is in the mūla and must survive.

यावन्तो बलिनस्तावन्तः स्वस्वप्रव्रज्याकाराः ।

yāvanto balinastāvantaḥ svasvapravrajyākārāḥ |

However many of them are strong, that many are the modes of going forth, each after its own ⟨nature⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sva-sva, 'each its own', ties the mode of asceticism to the particular strong graha — which is what sūtra 105 then enumerates.

तापसः कापालिको रक्तपट आजीवी त्रिदण्डी चक्रधरो नग्नः सूर्यादितः।

tāpasaḥ kāpāliko raktapaṭa ājīvī tridaṇḍī cakradharo nagnaḥ sūryāditaḥ|

From the Sun onward: the tāpasa ⟨forest ascetic⟩, the kāpālika ⟨skull-bearer⟩, the red-robed one, the ājīvin, the tridaṇḍin ⟨bearer of the triple staff⟩, the cakradhara ⟨discus-bearer⟩, the naked one.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sūryāditaḥ, 'beginning from the Sun', pairs the seven orders with the seven grahas in their standard order: Sun tāpasa, Moon kāpālika, Mars raktapaṭa, Mercury ājīvī, Jupiter tridaṇḍī, Venus cakradhara, Saturn nagna. Seven names against seven grahas — the count is the whole of the sūtra's information and is preserved exactly. The names are sectarian labels (raktapaṭa the red-robed renunciant, ājīvī an Ājīvika, nagna a sky-clad Jaina) and are left as the text has them.

अस्तगास्तु तद्भक्तिमात्रम् ।

astagāstu tadbhaktimātram |

But those that are set ⟨combust⟩ — mere devotion to that ⟨order⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: astaga is literally 'gone to setting': combust in the Sun's beams. asta also names the 7th house in this corpus, and 'grahas in the 7th' is a possible reading; combustion is preferred here because the sūtra qualifies the renunciation-causing grahas of 104–105 by their weakness. tad-bhakti-mātram is emphatic — devotion to that order only, and not the taking of it.

प्रव्रज्याकरे पराजिते प्रव्रज्याभ्रष्टः ।

pravrajyākare parājite pravrajyābhraṣṭaḥ |

When the graha that causes the going forth is defeated ⟨in planetary war⟩, one falls away from the ascetic life.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: parājita, 'vanquished', is the technical term for the loser of a grahayuddha, a planetary war. This sūtra prints pravajyā twice, without the second r, where 103 and 108 print pravrajyā; treated as a press or scanner slip in a single-exemplar OCR text, not as a different word. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads प्रव्रज्याकरे; this sentence names pravajyā, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

जन्मेशे मन्दमात्रदृष्टे प्रव्रज्याभ्रष्टः ।

janmeśe mandamātradṛṣṭe pravrajyābhraṣṭaḥ |

The lord of the birth ⟨lagna⟩ aspected by Saturn alone — fallen from renunciation.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: manda-mātra-dṛṣṭa is 'aspected by Saturn only' — the exclusive force of mātra is the operative word, and it recurs at 109 and 112.

मन्दत्र्यंशे वा मन्दारांशे चन्द्रे मन्दमात्रदृष्टे सन्न्यासी।

mandatryaṃśe vā mandārāṃśe candre mandamātradṛṣṭe sannyāsī|

The Moon in Saturn's tryaṃśa ⟨decanate⟩, or in the aṃśa of Saturn or Mars, aspected by Saturn alone — a sannyāsin.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tryaṃśa is the third part of a sign, the drekkāṇa. mandārāṃśe resolves as manda-āra-aṃśe, the aṃśa of Saturn or of Mars (āra = Mars).

लग्नपमन्दौ बलहीनौ सन्न्यासी ।

lagnapamandau balahīnau sannyāsī |

The lord of the lagna and Saturn both devoid of strength — a sannyāsin.

चन्द्रराहुयोगे क्रूरांशे वा सगुलिके सन्न्यासभ्रष्टः ।

candrarāhuyoge krūrāṃśe vā sagulike sannyāsabhraṣṭaḥ |

In a conjunction of the Moon and Rāhu, in a malefic's aṃśa, or joined with Gulika — fallen from sannyāsa.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints मन्न्यासभ्रष्टः (mannyāsa-); read as sannyāsa-bhraṣṭaḥ with 107–112, an akṣara-level OCR error of the kind this edition's profile declares. Gulika is the Saturnine upagraha. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सन्न्यासभ्रष्टः; this sentence names मन्न्यासभ्रष्टः and mannyāsa, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

अंशे केतौ मन्दमात्रदृष्टे सन्न्यासाभासः।

aṃśe ketau mandamātradṛṣṭe sannyāsābhāsaḥ|

Ketu in the aṃśa ⟨navāṃśa⟩, aspected by Saturn alone — a mere semblance of renunciation.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ābhāsa is 'semblance, appearance' — the sūtra denies the substance of the renunciation, not its outward show, and is kept that sharp.

जीवेऽरिगेऽर्केऽम्बुगे तपोहीनसन्न्यासी ।

jīve'rige'rke'mbuge tapohīnasannyāsī |

Jupiter in the 6th (ari) and the Sun in ambu ⟨the 4th⟩ — a sannyāsin without austerity.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ari is the 6th house. ambuga is taken as the 4th house (ambu, water, being the fourth's number-word usage in these sūtras); 'in a watery sign' is the other possible reading, though this chapter says jalarkṣa for that at 95 and 96. tapohīna is flatly 'devoid of austerity' — a renunciant who does no tapas; not softened.

चन्द्रेज्याङ्गेष्वार्किदृष्टेषु धर्मे जीवे राजयोगजो ब्रह्मगुप्तकाणादादिसमः।

candrejyāṅgeṣvārkidṛṣṭeṣu dharme jīve rājayogajo brahmaguptakāṇādādisamaḥ|

The Moon, Jupiter and the lagna (aṅga) aspected by Saturn, and Jupiter in the 9th — one born of a rājayoga, the equal of Brahmagupta, Kaṇāda and the like.

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 नवमविवेकः॥”
  • About this edition: aṅga ('the body') is the lagna. arki is Saturn. Brahmagupta the astronomer and Kaṇāda the Vaiśeṣika are named as the standard of learning; the sūtra says 'equal to', sama, and not 'like'. The section closes here with the printing's colophon, ॥ इति नवमविवेकः॥, which carries no number and is therefore not a sūtra.

Adhyāya 14 · N. अथ दशमविवेकः

राज्ये शुभदृष्ट्याधिक्ये व्यापारी ।

rājye śubhadṛṣṭyādhikye vyāpārī |

⟨With⟩ a predominance of benefic aspects on the 10th house (rājya) — ⟨the native is⟩ a merchant.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: rājya ('kingdom, rule') is this section's name for the 10th house; the whole viveka is the daśama-viveka. Throughout the chapter kha ('the zenith') = the 10th, and kheśa / khapa / karmapa = its lord. vyāpārin is the trader/man of business, not merely 'one who acts'.

खे ज्ञे व्यापारी ।

khe jñe vyāpārī |

Mercury (jña) in the 10th — a merchant.

खाङ्गेशयोगे व्यापारी ।

khāṅgeśayoge vyāpārī |

In the conjunction of the lords of the 10th and of the lagna (aṅga) — a merchant.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: khāṅgeśa-yoga is read as (kha + aṅga)-īśa-yoga, the union of the two lords; the next sūtra states the other case — the lagna lord placed IN the 10th — so the two are not duplicates.

खेऽङ्गेशे व्यापारी।

khe'ṅgeśe vyāpārī|

The lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) in the 10th — a merchant.

खेशे केन्द्रायकोणे शुभदृष्टे व्यापारी॥

kheśe kendrāyakoṇe śubhadṛṣṭe vyāpārī||

The lord of the 10th (kheśa) in a kendra, in the 11th (āya) or in a trikoṇa, aspected by a benefic — a merchant.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kendra-āya-koṇa is a three-member dvandva: kendra (angle), āya (the 11th), koṇa (trine).

धर्मेशेऽङ्गे गुरुदृष्टे राजमान्यः।

dharmeśe'ṅge gurudṛṣṭe rājamānyaḥ|

The lord of the 9th (dharma) in the lagna (aṅga), aspected by Jupiter (guru) — ⟨he is⟩ honoured by the king.

खेशे स्वर्क्षे शुभयुते व्यापारी मानशीलः।

kheśe svarkṣe śubhayute vyāpārī mānaśīlaḥ|

The lord of the 10th in its own sign (svarkṣa), joined with a benefic — a merchant, and of honourable character.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mānaśīla = 'having honour for his disposition'; the sūtra gives two results, occupation and character, not one.

खे खपे शुभसम्बन्धे मानी ।

khe khape śubhasambandhe mānī |

The lord of the 10th (khapa) in the 10th, in connection with a benefic — a man of honour.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mānin is 'possessed of honour' — set against mānahīna, 'devoid of honour', in sūtras 13–14.

खेशे शुभवर्गे वा स्वोच्चे दृढमानी ।

kheśe śubhavarge vā svocce dṛḍhamānī |

The lord of the 10th in a benefic varga, or exalted (svocca) — firm in honour.

शुभान्तरे माने मानी।

śubhāntare māne mānī|

The 10th (māna) between benefics — a man of honour.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: māna ('honour') names the 10th house here, and the fruit puns on it. śubhāntara is taken as 'in the interval between benefics' (the śubha-kartari configuration); a daśā-antara reading is possible in the abstract but the daśā material of this work stands in its own tattva (T), not in this viveka.

खेशे वैशेषिकांशे मानी।

kheśe vaiśeṣikāṃśe mānī|

The lord of the 10th in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa — a man of honour.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vaiśeṣikāṃśa = the graded varga-dignities counted by how many divisions a graha holds in strength; sūtras 16, 17 and 27 name individual members of the scale (pārāvata, gopura, siṃhāsana, devaloka).

जीवज्ञयोगे राजमान्यः ।

jīvajñayoge rājamānyaḥ |

In the conjunction of Jupiter (jīva) and Mercury (jña) — honoured by the king.

खपे पापसम्बन्धे मानहीनः ।

khape pāpasambandhe mānahīnaḥ |

The lord of the 10th (khapa) in connection with a malefic — devoid of honour.

खेशे पापवर्गे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे वा मानहीनः ।

kheśe pāpavarge krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe vā mānahīnaḥ |

The lord of the 10th in a malefic varga, or in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa ⟨60th part⟩ — devoid of honour.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print reads पष्ट्यंशे (paṣṭyaṃśe); the word is षष्ट्यंश ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, the sixtieth part — a scanner-level ष/प misreading of exactly the kind this e-text's profile declares. The number sixty is not in doubt. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे; this sentence names पष्ट्यंशे and paṣṭyaṃśe, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

धर्मेशे लाभे राजवन्द्यः ।

dharmeśe lābhe rājavandyaḥ |

The lord of the 9th (dharma) in the 11th (lābha) — revered by the king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print reads राजवन्धः in this sūtra and in 16 and 17; वन्ध is not a word. Two candidates: rāja-vandya 'to be saluted by the king' and rāja-bandha 'royal imprisonment'. All three sūtras predicate it on a strong, auspicious placement (9th lord in the 11th; 9th lord in pārāvata and above; lagna lord in a benefic varga or gopura and above), and the chapter's neighbouring fruit is rājamānya (6, 12), so the honourable sense is the one the context carries. Rendered as rāja-vandya, with the printed form left standing in the source line. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads राजवन्द्यः; this sentence names राजवन्धः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

धर्मपे पारावतादौ राजवन्द्यः ।

dharmape pārāvatādau rājavandyaḥ |

The lord of the 9th (dharmapa) in pārāvata and the rest ⟨of the higher varga-dignities⟩ — revered by the king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: 'and the rest' (ādi) means the dignities above pārāvata on the vaiśeṣikāṃśa scale, not those below it. Same textual question on rājavandha as at 15. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads राजवन्द्यः; this sentence names rājavandha, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

लग्नेशे शुभवर्गे वा गोपुरादौ राजवन्द्यः ।

lagneśe śubhavarge vā gopurādau rājavandyaḥ |

The lord of the lagna in a benefic varga, or in gopura and the rest — revered by the king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Same textual question on rājavandha as at 15. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads राजवन्द्यः; this sentence names rājavandha, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

खेशेऽबले सपापे कर्मादिवैकल्यम् ।

kheśe'bale sapāpe karmādivaikalyam |

The lord of the 10th weak and with a malefic — impairment of occupation (karma) and the rest.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: karmādi-vaikalya: vaikalya is defect, deficiency, being crippled — of the 10th house's affairs (karman = action, occupation) 'and the rest', i.e. the matters that follow from it. The same wording recurs unchanged at 19, 20 and 21.

ज्ञेज्यशुक्रा दुःस्थाः पापदृष्टाः कर्मादिवैकल्यम् ।

jñejyaśukrā duḥsthāḥ pāpadṛṣṭāḥ karmādivaikalyam |

Mercury (jña), Jupiter (ijya) and Venus (śukra) ill-placed (duḥstha) and aspected by malefics — impairment of occupation and the rest.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: duḥstha = standing in an evil house. All three grahas are named in the plural and take both conditions together.

खे पापदृष्ट्याधिक्ये कर्मादिवैकल्यम् ।

khe pāpadṛṣṭyādhikye karmādivaikalyam |

⟨With⟩ a predominance of malefic aspects on the 10th — impairment of occupation and the rest.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The exact negative counterpart of sūtra 1, down to the word ādhikya.

कर्मपे दुःस्थे कर्मादिवैकल्यम् ।

karmape duḥsthe karmādivaikalyam |

The lord of the 10th (karmapa) ill-placed — impairment of occupation and the rest.

कर्के शुक्रेज्येक्षिते सत्कीर्तिः ।

karke śukrejyekṣite satkīrtiḥ |

Cancer (karka) aspected by Venus and Jupiter (ijya) — good fame.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Rendered as printed: karke, the locative of Cancer. It is the one sūtra in this run of six on satkīrti (22–27) that names no house, and कर्के sits one akṣara from कर्मे ('in the 10th'), which the section's subject would fit; but the e-text prints Cancer and the emendation is not forced, so it is translated as it stands and the doubt recorded rather than resolved.

खेशे पारावतादौ सत्कीर्तिः।

kheśe pārāvatādau satkīrtiḥ|

The lord of the 10th in pārāvata and the rest — good fame.

शुभयुते खेशे सत्कीर्तिः ।

śubhayute kheśe satkīrtiḥ |

The lord of the 10th joined with a benefic — good fame.

शुभान्तरे खेशे शुभदृष्टे सत्कीर्तिः ।

śubhāntare kheśe śubhadṛṣṭe satkīrtiḥ |

The lord of the 10th between benefics and aspected by a benefic — good fame.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śubhāntara read as at sūtra 10.

खपे शुभांशे सत्कीर्तिः।

khape śubhāṃśe satkīrtiḥ|

The lord of the 10th (khapa) in a benefic aṃśa — good fame.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print reads शुभाशे (śubhāśe); the anusvāra of शुभांशे has dropped — cf. the same word intact in वैशेषिकांशे (11) and क्रूर...षष्ट्यंशे (14). aṃśa here is the divisional part, in practice the navāṃśa. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुभांशे; this sentence names śubhāśe and शुभाशे, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

लग्नपे बलाढ्ये खपे देवलोके धर्मपे सिंहासने सत्कीर्तिः।

lagnape balāḍhye khape devaloke dharmape siṃhāsane satkīrtiḥ|

The lord of the lagna abounding in strength, the lord of the 10th in devaloka, the lord of the 9th in siṃhāsana — good fame.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Three conditions in one sūtra, all required. devaloka and siṃhāsana are named ranks of the vaiśeṣikāṃśa scale of sūtra 11.

खपे पापसम्बन्धेऽसत्कीर्तिः ।

khape pāpasambandhe'satkīrtiḥ |

The lord of the 10th (khapa) in connection with a malefic — ill fame.

खपे पापवर्गेऽसत्कीर्तिः ।

khape pāpavarge'satkīrtiḥ |

The lord of the 10th in a malefic varga — ill fame.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print reads असत्कार्तिः for असत्कीर्तिः — the same word the two flanking sūtras (28, 30) spell correctly. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads पापवर्गेऽसत्कीर्तिः for पापवर्गेऽसत्कार्तिः, corrected on the lexicon on 2026-09-20 on the flanking sūtras 28 and 30.]

खे मन्दार्कावसत्कीर्तिः ।

khe mandārkāvasatkīrtiḥ |

Saturn (manda) and the Sun (arka) in the 10th — ill fame.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mandārkau is a dual: both grahas together in the 10th, not either one.

पापान्तरे कर्मण्यसत्कीर्तिः ।

pāpāntare karmaṇyasatkīrtiḥ |

The 10th (karma) between malefics — ill fame.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The exact counterpart of sūtra 25 (śubhāntara → good fame), and it closes the run on asatkīrti begun at 28. karman ('action, occupation') names the 10th house here, as māna does at 10 and rājya at 1. pāpāntara = malefics standing in the two houses that flank it, the pāpa-kartari configuration; a daśā-antara reading is set aside for the reason given at sūtra 10 — this work's daśā material stands in its own tattva (T).

खेशे शुभे शुभदृष्टयुते आज्ञाकर्ता ।

kheśe śubhe śubhadṛṣṭayute ājñākartā |

The lord of the 10th in a benefic ⟨sign⟩, aspected by and joined with benefics — one who issues commands.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ājñākartā, 'a maker of commands', is the fruit of a run of eight sūtras (32–39). Taken as one who ISSUES orders — it is the fruit of a strong, well-supported 10th, and the qualifiers saumya- and krūra- at 35–39 grade the KIND of order given, which only makes sense of one who gives them. The Sanskrit form is nevertheless open: ājñākara / ājñākārin is the one who CARRIES OUT another's order, and that sense cannot be excluded. The Hindi keeps आज्ञाकर्ता, which holds both. śubhe is read as the placement (in a benefic's sign), the reading its neighbours 33 and 56 carry.

खेशे मृद्वंशे वा शुभांशे वा केन्द्रे बलाढ्ये आज्ञाकर्ता।

kheśe mṛdvaṃśe vā śubhāṃśe vā kendre balāḍhye ājñākartā|

The lord of the 10th in a mṛdu (soft) aṃśa, or in a benefic aṃśa, or in a kendra, abounding in strength — one who issues commands.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mṛdu ('soft, mild') is a named division on the same ṣaṣṭyaṃśa scale this viveka uses at 14 and 35. The three placements are alternatives (vā … vā); balāḍhya, 'abounding in strength', is a locative agreeing with the lord, so it may govern all three and not the kendra alone — the printed word order puts it last and the ambiguity is the text's.

खेऽर्के वा भौमे आज्ञाकर्ता ।

khe'rke vā bhaume ājñākartā |

The Sun (arka) or Mars (bhauma) in the 10th (kha) — one who issues commands.

खेशे केन्द्रे शुभयुतदृष्टे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे सौम्याज्ञाकर्ता ।

kheśe kendre śubhayutadṛṣṭe krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe saumyājñākartā |

The lord of the 10th in a kendra, joined with and aspected by benefics, ⟨though⟩ in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa — one who issues benefic ⟨mild⟩ commands.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa (the sixtieth part, as at 14) would harden the command; the benefic conjunction and aspect turn it, and the orders given come out saumya. saumya is the class-word 'benefic, mild' here and not Mercury — krūra is its opposite in the next four sūtras.

समन्दे कर्मपे रन्ध्रपयुते क्रूरांशे केन्द्रे क्रूराज्ञाकर्ता ।

samande karmape randhrapayute krūrāṃśe kendre krūrājñākartā |

The lord of the 10th (karmapa) with Saturn (manda), joined with the lord of the 8th (randhra), in a malefic aṃśa, in a kendra — one who issues harsh commands.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Four conditions in one sūtra, all required (samande is sa-mande, 'accompanied by Saturn').

राहुगुलिकौ माने क्रूराज्ञाकर्ता ।

rāhugulikau māne krūrājñākartā |

Rāhu and Gulika in the 10th (māna) — one who issues harsh commands.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: gulika (Māndi), the sub-planetary point reckoned from Saturn's portion of the day. māna names the 10th house as at sūtra 10. rāhugulikau is a dual: both in the 10th together, not either one.

धने राहुकेतू क्रूराज्ञाकर्ता ।

dhane rāhuketū krūrājñākartā |

Rāhu and Ketu in the 2nd (dhana) — one who issues harsh commands.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints राहुकेतू, a nominative dual, with the single locative धने. The two nodes stand always in opposition, so this is to be read of the axis: one node in the 2nd, the other necessarily in the 8th. Rendered as printed, with the fact of the configuration noted rather than written into the line.

धर्मपे नीचे क्रूराज्ञाकर्ता।

dharmape nīce krūrājñākartā|

The lord of the 9th (dharma) debilitated — one who issues harsh commands.

सार्केशे राजकार्यकर्ता ।

sārkeśe rājakāryakartā |

The ⟨10th⟩ lord together with the Sun (arka) — a doer of royal work.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sārkeśe = sa-arka-īśe, 'the lord being with the Sun'; the lord is left unnamed and the viveka supplies it — the 10th, as at 32, 33 and 35. A second parse, sa-arkeśe, 'with the lord of the Sun's sign (Siṃha)', is grammatically open and cannot be settled from the e-text. rājakārya-kartā, one who does the king's work — royal or state service — is the fruit of 40–44.

केन्द्रेऽर्के राजकार्यकर्ता।

kendre'rke rājakāryakartā|

The Sun (arka) in a kendra — a doer of royal work.

केन्द्रे कोणे चन्द्रे राजकार्यकर्ता ।

kendre koṇe candre rājakāryakartā |

The Moon in a kendra ⟨or⟩ a koṇa (trikoṇa) — a doer of royal work.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: koṇa = trikoṇa, as at sūtra 5. The two locatives stand without vā and are alternatives, not a double requirement — no place is both a kendra and a trikoṇa except the lagna.

राज्येशे लाभे केन्द्रे वा राजकार्यकर्ता ।

rājyeśe lābhe kendre vā rājakāryakartā |

The lord of the 10th (rājya) in the 11th (lābha), or in a kendra — a doer of royal work.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: rājya ('kingdom, rule') names the 10th house as at sūtra 1. The print reads राज्यशे for राज्येशे, and केन्द्र stands without its locative ending before वा; both are kept as printed — akṣara-level slips of the kind this e-text's profile declares. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads राज्येशे for राज्यशे; केन्द्रे for केन्द्र, 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.]

लग्नाम्बुगे जीवे राजकार्यकर्ता ।

lagnāmbuge jīve rājakāryakartā |

Jupiter (jīva) in the lagna or in the 4th (ambu) — a doer of royal work.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ambu ('water') is the 4th house; lagnāmbuga compounds both places and governs jīve.

अंशे ग्रहद्वये कुलमुख्यः ।

aṃśe grahadvaye kulamukhyaḥ |

Two grahas in ⟨one⟩ aṃśa — the head of his family.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṃśe grahadvaye: two grahas together in one and the same divisional part (in practice the navāṃśa, as at 26). It could instead be read 'two grahas each in its OWN aṃśa', which the two following sūtras — one, then two, in their own SIGNS — would parallel; but 45 lacks the sva- those two carry, so the shared-aṃśa reading is taken. kulamukhya = foremost of his kula, the family or clan.

एकः स्वर्क्षे कुलमुख्यः ।

ekaḥ svarkṣe kulamukhyaḥ |

One ⟨graha⟩ in its own sign (svarkṣa) — the head of his family.

द्वौ स्वर्क्षे स्वकुलाधिकः ।

dvau svarkṣe svakulādhikaḥ |

Two ⟨grahas⟩ in their own signs — greater than ⟨the rest of⟩ his family.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: svakulādhika, 'exceeding his own kula' — one step above the kulamukhya of 45–46, and the increase is exactly the second graha.

सोत्थे गुरौ लाभे चन्द्रे कुलदीपः ।

sotthe gurau lābhe candre kuladīpaḥ |

Jupiter (guru) in the 3rd (sottha) and the Moon in the 11th (lābha) — the lamp of his family.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. सोत्थे is the THIRD HOUSE. The earlier note said 'सोत्थे is not a house-name, a sign, or a varga-dignity used anywhere else in this viveka' and left it untranslated. Its own reasoning was sound as far as it went — it observed that N.51 has the same Moon in the 11th with Jupiter in the 6th and a different fruit, so the missing word is a house other than the 6th — and the answer is the 3rd. 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.

भौमेऽङ्गे सिंहे सुते चन्द्रे व्यये राहौ कुलदीपः।

bhaume'ṅge siṃhe sute candre vyaye rāhau kuladīpaḥ|

Mars (bhauma) in the lagna (aṅga), the Moon in Leo (siṃha) — the 5th (suta) — and Rāhu in the 12th (vyaya) — the lamp of his family.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Three groups of locatives: bhaume aṅge / siṃhe sute candre / vyaye rāhau. Leo and the 5th are read of one place — the Moon in Leo, that Leo being the 5th — which puts the lagna in Aries and Mars there in his own sign, a coherent chart. Reading siṃhe with aṅge instead ('Mars in a Leo lagna') is possible but leaves the Moon's sign unaccounted for and the 5th without an occupant.

रन्ध्रारीशावन्योन्यस्थानगौ वा केन्द्रगौ प्रतापी ।

randhrārīśāvanyonyasthānagau vā kendragau pratāpī |

The lords of the 8th (randhra) and the 6th (ari) in each other's places, or both in kendras — a man of majesty.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: anyonya-sthāna-ga is the mutual exchange (parivartana) of the two lords. Both words are dual, so the kendra alternative likewise requires both. pratāpin = possessed of pratāpa, blazing dignity and might; it is the fruit of 50–52. Here ari is the 6th HOUSE, not an enemy in person.

षष्ठे गुरौ लाभे चन्द्रे प्रतापी ।

ṣaṣṭhe gurau lābhe candre pratāpī |

Jupiter (guru) in the 6th, the Moon in the 11th (lābha) — a man of majesty.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print reads चन्द्र without its locative ending (चन्द्रे); kept as printed. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads चन्द्रे. This note described our own OCR, not the page: an eye reading of the 1941 exemplar (printed folio 284, PDF p.292, at about 2.9x native) found the ए-mātrā over the द्र of चन्द्रे, the same shape and size as the े of लाभे beside it, so the press sets the locative and the keep was of our transcription's slip.]

लाभपे शुभभांशे प्रतापी ।

lābhape śubhabhāṃśe pratāpī |

The lord of the 11th (lābha) in the aṃśa of a benefic sign (bha) — a man of majesty.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śubha-bha-aṃśe: bha is the sign or asterism, so the divisional part belonging to an auspicious sign. It may also be taken as a dvandva of two conditions — an auspicious sign AND an auspicious aṃśa — which is how the varga sūtras at 26 and 29 word each half separately.

लाभे बलाढ्ये शुभग्रहे शुभदृष्टे वा श्रीमान् ।

lābhe balāḍhye śubhagrahe śubhadṛṣṭe vā śrīmān |

A benefic graha abounding in strength in the 11th (lābha), or ⟨the 11th⟩ aspected by benefics — a man of fortune.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vā divides the two conditions, so the benefic aspect alone suffices — the sūtra does not require both. What the aspect falls on is left unsaid: the 11th house, or the benefic graha standing in it; ⟨the 11th⟩ is supplied. śrīmān is possessed of śrī: wealth and the lustre that goes with it; 53 and 54 are its pair.

धनगाश्चन्द्रेज्याच्छाः श्रीमान् ।

dhanagāścandrejyācchāḥ śrīmān |

The Moon, Jupiter (ijya) and Venus (accha) placed in the 2nd (dhana) — a man of fortune.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08. The earlier note said accha "is not among this text's usual graha-epithets" and offered a reading in which it is a plural adjective and only two grahas are named. Both halves are now superseded. 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, A.38 ज्ञाच्छौ राजसौ, A.50 सूर्यस्य मन्दाच्छौ रिपू, A.54 जीवस्य ज्ञाच्छावरी, A.56 मन्दस्य ज्ञाच्छौ सुहृदौ, A.65 चन्द्राच्छौ सजलौ — and each of the six is the standard table with Venus in the remaining slot. It was ruled and recorded across this corpus on 2026-09-08. It is also on the ink: the 1941 plate at page index 88 sets भान्वच्छयुतौ at C.244 and चन्द्राच्छौ at C.247, with the facing English "the Sun and Venus" and "the Moon and Venus". The plural ending -आः names three grahas, which is how this same file already reads मन्दाराच्छा at B.98 and ज्ञाराच्छा at N.186. The house (the 2nd) was never in doubt.

सुखेशे त्रिके पितृसुखमल्पम् ।

sukheśe trike pitṛsukhamalpam |

The lord of the 4th (sukha) in a trika house ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — happiness from the father is little.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: trika = the three evil houses, 6, 8 and 12. pitṛsukha, the happiness a father affords, is the subject of 55–60; this viveka treats the father under the 10th, and the sūtra states the deficient case first. alpa is 'little', not 'none' — the text does not deny the father, it stints the comfort.

खेशे शुभे शुभयुतदृष्टे पितृसुखम् ।

kheśe śubhe śubhayutadṛṣṭe pitṛsukham |

The lord of the 10th in a benefic ⟨sign⟩, joined with and aspected by benefics — happiness from the father.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The same protasis as 32, which gave ājñākartā; the fruit differs with the subject of the run, not with the configuration.

खेशे पारावतादौ पितृसुखम् ।

kheśe pārāvatādau pitṛsukham |

The lord of the 10th in pārāvata and the rest ⟨of the higher varga-dignities⟩ — happiness from the father.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: As at 16 and 23: ādi means the ranks ABOVE pārāvata on the vaiśeṣikāṃśa scale (devaloka, brahmaloka and so on), not those below it.

खेशे शुभान्तरे गुरुशुक्रयुते पितृसुखम् ।

kheśe śubhāntare guruśukrayute pitṛsukham |

The lord of the 10th between benefics, joined with Jupiter and Venus — happiness from the father.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śubhāntara as at 25 and 31 — benefics in the two houses flanking it.

गोपुरादौ पितृकारके पितृसुखम् ।

gopurādau pitṛkārake pitṛsukham |

The kāraka of the father ⟨the Sun⟩ in gopura and the rest — happiness from the father.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pitṛkāraka: the sūtra names the office, not the graha. The significator of the father is the Sun, and the identification is supplied in brackets rather than written into the text. gopura is the vaiśeṣikāṃśa rank named at 17; ādi again means the ranks above it.

खारिपौ खगौ पिता परस्त्रीगामी ।

khāripau khagau pitā parastrīgāmī |

The lords of the 10th (kha) and of the 6th (ari), both placed in the 10th — the father goes to other men's wives.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: khāripau is the dvandva of the two lords (khapa + aripa), dual. khagau is read as kha-gau, 'both gone to kha' — the 10th, the value kha carries throughout this viveka. khaga can also mean simply 'sky-goer, planet', but that would leave the two lords with no placement stated at all, so the placement reading is taken. The verdict is stated of the FATHER, not of the native — the only sūtra in this run that shifts its subject — and parastrīgāmin is left at full weight: one who goes to other men's wives.

लग्नेशे सपापे धने वा धनारिद्यूनेशाः सपापाः कोशगाः पिता सज्जनस्त्रीगामी ।

lagneśe sapāpe dhane vā dhanāridyūneśāḥ sapāpāḥ kośagāḥ pitā sajjanastrīgāmī |

If the lord of the lagna, together with a malefic, is in the 2nd; or if the lords of the 2nd, the 6th and the 7th, together with malefics, occupy the treasury ⟨kośa, the 2nd⟩ — the father consorts with the wives of respectable men.

2 notes on this verse
  • About this edition: SOURCE MARKUP DEFECT, recovered: in the e-text this sūtra's opening does not match the shape the other 2,269 use — the Sanskrit is set as running text with no emphasis, unlike every other sūtra. The aphorism itself is complete and its number legible, so nothing was emended; this is recorded only so that a reader comparing our text against the file is not left to work out why that line looked different. A parse that required the tidy shape would have dropped this sūtra and left a hole indistinguishable from a number the edition never printed.
  • About this edition: कोश 'treasury' is this text's name for the 2nd house, the same bhāva it has just named धन; the sūtra offers two alternative configurations for one result, both seated in the 2nd. सज्जनस्त्रीगामी is left at its full weight — 'one who goes to the wives of good men', i.e. an adulterer with the wives of respectable householders; the source markup defect flagged on this sūtra in the edition profile affects only how the line was typeset, not its readable text.

सुखारीशावङ्के जनको विटः ।

sukhārīśāvaṅke janako viṭaḥ |

The lords of the 4th and the 6th in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ — the father is a libertine ⟨viṭa⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints अङ्के (aṅke); this text's own word for the lagna is अङ्ग — cf. N.69 चन्द्रार्कावङ्गे, N.78 सुखार्थाङ्गेशाः, N.85 चन्द्रेऽङ्गे — and क/ग is a routine OCR confusion, so 'in the lagna' is read here. विट is the rake or voluptuary who keeps company with courtesans; the harsher sense is the one meant and is kept.

भाग्याम्बुपौ सुखे जनको विटः ।

bhāgyāmbupau sukhe janako viṭaḥ |

The lords of the 9th ⟨bhāgya⟩ and of the 4th ⟨ambu, the water-house⟩ in the 4th — the father is a libertine ⟨viṭa⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: भाग्याम्बुपौ is a compressed dual, 'the lords of bhāgya and of ambu'. अम्बुप = lord of the water-house, the 4th; the same word is used singly at N.80 (अम्बुपे … तुर्ये), where तुर्य 'fourth' confirms the identification. Here that lord stands in his own bhāva, named a second time as सुख.

खेशे पापसम्बन्धे पापान्तरे पितृदुःखम् ।

kheśe pāpasambandhe pāpāntare pitṛduḥkham |

The lord of the 10th in relation with a malefic and set between malefics — sorrow to the father.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ख 'sky' = the 10th house. पापान्तरे literally 'in the interval of malefics' — the enclosure of a bhāva or graha between two malefics.

अर्काद्दशमेशे पापयुतदृष्टे पिता दुःखी ।

arkāddaśameśe pāpayutadṛṣṭe pitā duḥkhī |

If the lord of the tenth from the Sun is joined by malefics or aspected by them, the father is unhappy.

सूर्यारौ खे धर्मे वा शीघ्रं पितृमृतिः।

sūryārau khe dharme vā śīghraṃ pitṛmṛtiḥ|

The Sun and Mars in the 10th, or in the 9th — the father dies soon.

सपापसूर्ये द्यूने शीघ्रं पितृमृतिः ।

sapāpasūrye dyūne śīghraṃ pitṛmṛtiḥ |

The Sun with a malefic in the 7th — the father dies soon.

चरेऽर्के केन्द्रे वा चन्द्रे पितरौ न दहेत् ।

care'rke kendre vā candre pitarau na dahet |

The Sun in a movable ⟨sign⟩, or the Moon in a kendra — he does not burn his two parents.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पितरौ is dual — father and mother together — and दहेत् is the plain verb 'burn': the native is not the one who lights his parents' pyre. The Hindi keeps the literal 'gives them fire' with the funerary sense supplied, because the Sanskrit states the act and not the reason for it.

चन्द्रार्कावङ्के पितुर्जले मृतिः।

candrārkāvaṅke piturjale mṛtiḥ|

The Moon and the Sun in the 9th ⟨aṅka⟩ — the father's death is in water.

द्यूनेऽर्के खे भौमेऽन्त्ये राहौ पिता न जीवति ।

dyūne'rke khe bhaume'ntye rāhau pitā na jīvati |

The Sun in the 7th, Mars in the 10th, Rāhu in the last ⟨the 12th⟩ — the father does not live.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अन्त्य 'the last' = the 12th house.

खे शत्रुभे भौमे पिता न जीवति ।

khe śatrubhe bhaume pitā na jīvati |

Mars in the 10th in an enemy's sign — the father does not live.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शत्रुभ here is a sign (भ) belonging to a graha's enemy, not the 6th house; the enemy is Mars's dispositor, not a bhāva.

लग्ने जीवे धने ज्ञारयमा विवाहे पितृमृतिः ।

lagne jīve dhane jñārayamā vivāhe pitṛmṛtiḥ |

Jupiter in the lagna, Mercury, Mars and Saturn in the 2nd — the father's death at ⟨the native's⟩ marriage.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ज्ञ = Mercury, आर = Mars, यम = Saturn; the three are named as one dual-less plural ज्ञारयमा in the 2nd. विवाहे 'at the marriage' fixes the time, not a bhāva.

चन्द्रार्कौ झषे पापदृष्टौ पितुर्जले मृतिः।

candrārkau jhaṣe pāpadṛṣṭau piturjale mṛtiḥ|

The Moon and the Sun in Pisces ⟨jhaṣa⟩, aspected by malefics — the father's death is in water.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints चन्द्राकौं (candrākauṃ) for चन्द्रार्कौ — a lost र् and a spurious anusvāra on the dual ending; the same slip recurs at N.74 शुक्राकौं. झष 'fish' = Pisces. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads चन्द्रार्कौ; this sentence names चन्द्राकौं and candrākauṃ, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

शुक्रार्कौ चरे भौमदृष्टयुतौ पितुरन्यदेशे मृतिः।

śukrārkau care bhaumadṛṣṭayutau pituranyadeśe mṛtiḥ|

Venus and the Sun in a movable sign, aspected by Mars or joined with him — the father's death is in another country.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुक्राकौं is the same OCR shape as N.73: read शुक्रार्कौ, 'Venus and the Sun'. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुक्रार्कौ; this sentence names शुक्राकौं, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

भौमार्कावजे खे जन्मतः प्राक् पितृमरणम् ।

bhaumārkāvaje khe janmataḥ prāk pitṛmaraṇam |

Mars and the Sun in Aries ⟨aja⟩ as the 10th — the father's death before the birth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अज 'the goat' = Aries. The two locatives अजे and खे stack: Aries standing as the 10th house.

मन्दारौ खे जन्मतः प्राक् पितृमरणम् ।

mandārau khe janmataḥ prāk pitṛmaraṇam |

Saturn and Mars in the 10th — the father's death before the birth.

सार्कारे खेशे शीघ्रं पितृमृतिः।

sārkāre kheśe śīghraṃ pitṛmṛtiḥ|

The lord of the 10th together with the Sun and Mars — the father dies soon.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सार्कारे is स + अर्क + आर, 'with the Sun and Mars', read as qualifying खेशे. It could also be split as 'Mars with the Sun, ⟨and⟩ the lord of the 10th', but that leaves both members without a place; the reading given keeps one configuration.

सुखार्थाङ्गेशाः स्वर्क्षे धर्मेशेऽङ्गे सिंहासनाप्तिः।

sukhārthāṅgeśāḥ svarkṣe dharmeśe'ṅge siṃhāsanāptiḥ|

The lords of the 4th, the 2nd and the 1st in their own signs, and the lord of the 9th in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ — attainment of a throne.

धर्माङ्गसुखेशाः कर्मगाः बलिखेशयुताः सिंहासनाप्तिः ।

dharmāṅgasukheśāḥ karmagāḥ balikheśayutāḥ siṃhāsanāptiḥ |

The lords of the 9th, the 1st and the 4th occupying the 10th ⟨karma⟩, joined with a strong lord of the 10th — attainment of a throne.

धर्मेऽम्बुपे शुक्रेज्यौ तुर्ये धर्मेशे केन्द्रकोणे सिंहासनाप्तिः।

dharme'mbupe śukrejyau turye dharmeśe kendrakoṇe siṃhāsanāptiḥ|

The lord of the 4th ⟨ambupa⟩ in the 9th, Venus and Jupiter in the 4th ⟨turya⟩, the lord of the 9th in a kendra or a trikoṇa — attainment of a throne.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: तुर्य 'the fourth' beside अम्बुप in the same sūtra is what fixes अम्बु as the 4th house here and at N.63.

वित्तपे केन्द्रे स्वोच्चे शुभदृष्टे सिंहासनाप्तिः ।

vittape kendre svocce śubhadṛṣṭe siṃhāsanāptiḥ |

The lord of wealth ⟨the 2nd⟩ in a kendra, in his own sign or in exaltation, aspected by a benefic — attainment of a throne.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two OCR-level slips kept as printed and read through: केन्द्र stands without its locative ending (केन्द्रे), and स्वोच्चै for स्वोच्चे. Neither changes the sense. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads केन्द्रे for केन्द्र; स्वोच्चे for स्वोच्चै, 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.]

शुभाः केन्द्रे त्र्यरीशगाः पापाः सिंहासनाप्तिः ।

śubhāḥ kendre tryarīśagāḥ pāpāḥ siṃhāsanāptiḥ |

Benefics in the kendras, malefics occupying the 3rd, the 6th and the 11th ⟨īśa, Rudra, whose number is eleven⟩ — attainment of a throne.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. The printed त्र्यरीशिगाः is OCR-damaged, but what it names is not in doubt: it is the upacaya triad 3 / 6 / 11, and the sūtra's own twin at N.87 spells it out as पापस्त्र्यायारिगा = त्रि + आय + अरि. त्रि and अरि survive in the printed akṣaras; the third member is आय, the 11th. The house is supplied in ⟨⟩ rather than emended into the mūla, because the akṣaras that carried it are damaged and no plate has been read here. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads त्र्यरीशगाः; this sentence names त्र्यरीशिगाः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

षट्स्वर्क्षगाः वा शुभषष्ट्यंशेऽर्के नृपतुल्यः ।

ṣaṭsvarkṣagāḥ vā śubhaṣaṣṭyaṃśe'rke nṛpatulyaḥ |

Six ⟨grahas⟩ occupying their own signs, or the Sun in an auspicious ṣaṣṭyaṃśa — one equal to a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: षष्ट्यंश = the sixtieth part of a sign, the ṣaṣṭyaṃśa varga whose sixty names this edition lists at A.22. The numeral षड् 'six' is the edition's own and is carried across exactly. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षट्स्वर्क्षगाः; this sentence names षड्, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

चन्द्रेज्यौ सुते वोत्तमांशे नृपतुल्यः ।

candrejyau sute vottamāṃśe nṛpatulyaḥ |

The Moon and Jupiter in the 5th, or in an uttamāṃśa ⟨an excellent division⟩ — one equal to a king.

चन्द्रेऽङ्गे गुरौ सुखे खे शुक्रे मन्दे स्वर्क्षोच्चे नृपतुल्यः ।

candre'ṅge gurau sukhe khe śukre mande svarkṣocce nṛpatulyaḥ |

The Moon in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩, Jupiter in the 4th, Venus in the 10th, Saturn in his own sign or in exaltation — one equal to a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: स्वर्क्षोच्चे is स्वर्क्ष-उच्चे, 'in own sign or in exaltation', and attaches to मन्दे (Saturn) alone, the nearest locative.

दशमादासोत्थगाः सौम्या नृपतुल्यः ।

daśamādāsotthagāḥ saumyā nṛpatulyaḥ |

Benefics occupying ⟨the houses⟩ from the 10th up to the 3rd (sottha) — one equal to a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. दशमादासोत्थगाः is दशमात् + आ-सोत्थ + गाः, 'going from the 10th up to the 3rd', on the ordinary आ-prefix of extent. The earlier note said the middle of the compound 'is not readable as a word' and that 'the one thing the sūtra measures is exactly what the OCR has destroyed'; nothing is destroyed. 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. The 1941's translator prints BOTH readings — his primary is 'benefics in the 10th, 11th and 3rd' (which needs दशमायसोत्थगाः, one akṣara from what is printed), and his alternative is exactly the आ-सोत्थ split our own akṣaras support. We render our own text. 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. मौम्या is plainly सौम्याः, 'benefics' (म for स), as the earlier note said. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सौम्या; this sentence names मौम्या, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सौम्याः केन्द्रकोणे पापास्त्र्यायारिगा लग्नेशे सबले नृपतुल्यः ।

saumyāḥ kendrakoṇe pāpāstryāyārigā lagneśe sabale nṛpatulyaḥ |

Benefics in the kendras and trikoṇas, malefics occupying the 3rd, the 11th ⟨āya⟩ and the 6th, and the lord of the lagna strong — one equal to a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पापस्त्र्यायारिगा = पापाः त्रि-आय-अरि-गाः; the order of the houses in the compound (3, 11, 6) is kept as the text has it rather than sorted. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads पापास्त्र्यायारिगा; this sentence names पापस्त्र्यायारिगा, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

नीचगभेशोच्चेशः केन्द्रे नृपतुल्यः ।

nīcagabheśocceśaḥ kendre nṛpatulyaḥ |

The lord of the sign ⟨bha⟩ occupied by a debilitated ⟨graha⟩, and the lord of its exaltation, being in a kendra — one equal to a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints नीचगमेशोच्चेशः; read नीचग-भ-ईश-उच्चेशः, with म for भ — a single-akṣara OCR confusion, and भ 'sign' is this text's own word (cf. शत्रुभे at N.71). That yields the two lords the classical nīca-bhaṅga rule names: the lord of the sign the debilitated graha stands in, and the lord of the sign of its exaltation. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads नीचगभेशोच्चेशः; this sentence names नीचगमेशोच्चेशः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

बलिनि चन्द्रे लग्नेतरकेन्द्रकोणे शुक्रजीवान्यतरदृष्टे नृपतुल्यः ।

balini candre lagnetarakendrakoṇe śukrajīvānyataradṛṣṭe nṛpatulyaḥ |

The Moon strong and in a kendra or trikoṇa other than the lagna, aspected by either Venus or Jupiter — one equal to a king.

  • About this edition: अन्यतर is 'either one of the two', not 'both': one of the two aspects suffices.

नीचगाः स्वोच्चांशगाः नृपतुल्यः ।

nīcagāḥ svoccāṃśagāḥ nṛpatulyaḥ |

⟨Grahas⟩ standing in debilitation, occupying the aṃśa of their own exaltation — one equal to a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: स्वोच्चांशशगाः carries a doubled श; read स्वोच्चांशगाः. The rule is the counterpart of N.88 — debilitation in the rāśi cancelled by exaltation in the divisional aṃśa. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads स्वोच्चांशगाः; this sentence names स्वोच्चांशशगाः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

देहे जीवे ज्ञे केन्द्रे भाग्यपदृष्टे नृपतुल्यः ।

dehe jīve jñe kendre bhāgyapadṛṣṭe nṛpatulyaḥ |

Jupiter in the lagna (deha, the body), Mercury in a kendra and aspected by the lord of the 9th (bhāgya) — ⟨the native is⟩ the equal of a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: deha ('body') = the 1st house; bhāgya ('fortune') = the 9th. bhāgyapadṛṣṭe agrees with jñe, so it is Mercury that the 9th lord aspects.

खेशे स्वोच्चमित्रांशे पारावतादौ नृपतुल्यः ।

kheśe svoccamitrāṃśe pārāvatādau nṛpatulyaḥ |

The lord of the 10th (kha) in the aṃśa of its own exaltation or of a friend, ⟨and⟩ in Pārāvata and the ⟨dignities⟩ that follow it — the equal of a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kha ('sky') = the 10th house throughout this viveka. Pārāvata is a varga-dignity name in the daśavarga strength scheme (pārijāta … gopura … pārāvata … devaloka …); 'ādau' means Pārāvata and the higher dignities above it, and the text names two more of them in sūtra 106.

नीचे जीवेऽङ्गे धर्मपे रन्ध्रे शुभांशे नृपतुल्यः ।

nīce jīve'ṅge dharmape randhre śubhāṃśe nṛpatulyaḥ |

Jupiter debilitated in the lagna (aṅga), ⟨and⟩ the lord of the 9th in the 8th in a benefic aṃśa — the equal of a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅga ('limb, body') = the 1st house. The locatives can also be paired 'Jupiter debilitated; the 9th lord in the lagna; ⟨Jupiter⟩ in the 8th in a benefic aṃśa', but adjacency (jīve–aṅge, dharmape–randhre) favours the reading given.

जीवेऽन्त्ये लाभे मन्दे सोत्थपेऽर्के नृपतुल्यः ।

jīve'ntye lābhe mande sotthape'rke nṛpatulyaḥ |

Jupiter in the 12th, Saturn in the 11th, the Sun joined with the lord of the 3rd — the equal of a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sottha (sa-uttha / sahottha, 'co-arisen') = the 3rd house, the sahaja bhāva; the identification is fixed by sūtra 104, where the chart it describes only resolves if sottha is the 3rd. Two grahas in the locative side by side (sotthape, arke) are read as a conjunction, as at 97 (lagnapayutau).

षट्ग्रहाः स्वोच्चगा राजाधिराजः।

ṣaṭgrahāḥ svoccagā rājādhirājaḥ|

Six grahas in their own exaltations — a rājādhirāja, a king of kings.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: khoccaga reads literally 'gone to kha (the 10th) and to exaltation'. Six grahas cannot all be exalted in one sign, so the sense must be distributive (some in the 10th, some exalted) — or kha-ucca is simply 'the height of the sky', i.e. exaltation, as the parallel sūtras 115 (svoccaga) and 118 (uccaga) use the plainer words. Same word, same problem, at 119. [2026-09-23: the 1941 plate our text transcribes (jt-sastri-english PDF p.299, printed p.291, sūtra ९५) was read by eye at about 1.1x to 2.6x native, beside the ख of sūtra ९६ on the same page. It sets स्वोच्चगा, one connected sort with the loop of स, where each ख of sūtra ९६ is two pieces. khoccaga was the e-text keying स्व as ख, and the mūla now reads स्वोच्चगा, 'in their own exaltations', so the question above does not arise here. At 119 the same plate reading saw स्वोच्चगाः on printed p.295 (PDF p.303), at about 1.65x native.]

खेशे सुते सुखेशे खे कोणपदृष्टे राजाधिराजः ।

kheśe sute sukheśe khe koṇapadṛṣṭe rājādhirājaḥ |

The lord of the 10th in the 5th, the lord of the 4th in the 10th and aspected by the lord of a trikoṇa — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: koṇa = trikoṇa; koṇapa is the lord of a trine (1, 5, 9).

धर्मापत्यपौ द्यूनोनकेन्द्रे लग्नपयुतौ राजाधिराजः।

dharmāpatyapau dyūnonakendre lagnapayutau rājādhirājaḥ|

The lords of the 9th and the 5th in a kendra other than the 7th, joined with the lord of the lagna — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: apatya ('offspring') = the 5th house; dyūna = the 7th. dyūna-ūna-kendre is 'a kendra less the 7th' — the same ūna idiom as mṛgona at 120.

चन्द्रात्सोत्थे मन्दार्के तुर्ये ज्ञाच्छौ लाभे जीवे राजाधिराजः।

candrātsotthe mandārke turye jñācchau lābhe jīve rājādhirājaḥ|

Reckoned from the Moon: Saturn and the Sun in the 3rd, Mercury and Venus in the 4th, Jupiter in the 11th — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed mandākeṃ is a scanner misreading of mandārkau (Saturn and the Sun, dual) — one of the akṣara-level OCR errors this e-text is declared to carry. accha ('clear, bright') = Venus, the equivalent of sita; the same abbreviation returns at 100 and 102. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads मन्दार्के; this sentence names mandākeṃ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-23: the plate shows the misreading was of the singular मन्दार्के, not of the dual this note names. Read by eye at about 3.5x native, the 1941 exemplar (jt-sastri-english, PDF p.299, printed p.291, line 26) sets मन्दार्के: the repha and the e-stroke stand over क, with no vowel bar after it, the same sorts as सोत्थपेऽर्के in sūtra 94 on that page. The 1915 Śrīnivāsa printing (PDF p.297, folio २१६), read by eye at about 4.4x native, sets the dual मंदार्कौ, and the ledger records it. The sense, Saturn and the Sun, is the same under either form.]

गुरावङ्गे द्यूनाम्बुगे सूर्ये वक्रगे शुक्रे सुते राजाधिराजः।

gurāvaṅge dyūnāmbuge sūrye vakrage śukre sute rājādhirājaḥ|

Jupiter in the lagna, the Sun in the 7th ⟨or⟩ the 4th, Venus retrograde in the 5th — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ambu ('water') = the 4th house. A single graha cannot occupy both the 7th and the 4th, so dyūna-ambu-ge must offer alternatives. vakraga is taken as 'moving retrograde'; but this text does use vakra for Mars (see 101), so 'Venus conjoined Mars in the 5th' is a live second reading — and it removes the difficulty that retrograde Venus is never far from the Sun.

जीवार्कावजे खे कुजे धर्मगा ज्ञेन्द्वच्छा राजाधिराजः ।

jīvārkāvaje khe kuje dharmagā jñendvacchā rājādhirājaḥ |

Jupiter and the Sun in Aries, Mars in the 10th, Mercury, the Moon and Venus in the 9th — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aja ('goat') = Aries; jña-indu-acchāḥ = Mercury, the Moon, Venus.

कन्याङ्गे ज्ञे झषे जीवे लाभे मन्दे हये शुक्रे वक्रार्कावबलौ राजाधिराजः।

kanyāṅge jñe jhaṣe jīve lābhe mande haye śukre vakrārkāvabalau rājādhirājaḥ|

Mercury in Virgo, ⟨which is⟩ the lagna; Jupiter in Pisces; Saturn in the 11th; Venus in Sagittarius; and Mars and the Sun without strength — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The locatives pair place-then-graha throughout (kanyā-aṅge jñe, jhaṣe jīve, lābhe mande, haye śukre), which resolves an otherwise dangling Venus. jhaṣa ('fish') = Pisces, haya ('horse') = Sagittarius. Here vakra is Mars, not retrogression — vakrārkau is a dual of two graha names.

धर्मे मन्दे उच्चे कुजे ज्ञेज्याच्छाः सुते राजाधिराजः ।

dharme mande ucce kuje jñejyācchāḥ sute rājādhirājaḥ |

Saturn in the 9th, Mars exalted, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus in the 5th — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ijyā = Jupiter, acchā = Venus.

सकलाश्चरेषु राजाधिराजः ।

sakalāścareṣu rājādhirājaḥ |

All ⟨the grahas⟩ in movable signs — a rājādhirāja.

सोत्थे शनौ षष्ठे भौमे खे शुक्रे धर्मे स्वोच्चेऽर्के राजाधिराजः ।

sotthe śanau ṣaṣṭhe bhaume khe śukre dharme svocce'rke rājādhirājaḥ |

Saturn in the 3rd, Mars in the 6th, Venus in the 10th, the Sun in the 9th in its own exaltation — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: This sūtra is what fixes sottha = the 3rd house. The Sun exalted in the 9th puts Aries there and so Leo in the lagna; from Leo the 6th is Capricorn (Mars exalted), the 10th is Taurus (Venus's own sign), and the 3rd is Libra — Saturn's exaltation. Every placement is then a dignity, which no other value of sottha yields.

सुतेशे सबले खाङ्गेशयोगे केन्द्रे राजाधिराजः ।

suteśe sabale khāṅgeśayoge kendre rājādhirājaḥ |

The lord of the 5th, strong, in a kendra, joined with the lords of the 10th and the lagna — a rājādhirāja.

खेशे देवलोके खाङ्केशौ पारावते लाभपे गोपुरे राजाधिराजः।

kheśe devaloke khāṅkeśau pārāvate lābhape gopure rājādhirājaḥ|

The lord of the 10th in Devaloka, the lords of the 10th and the lagna in Pārāvata, the lord of the 11th in Gopura — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Devaloka, Pārāvata and Gopura are three of the daśavarga dignities. The printed khāṅkeśau has no sense; read khāṅgeśau, 'the lords of the 10th and the lagna' — but the 10th lord has just been placed in Devaloka, so one of the two terms is misprinted and only the plates can settle which (a plausible original is sukhāṅgeśau, the lords of the 4th and the lagna). The rendering follows the letters as printed, with the contradiction left visible rather than smoothed away.

गोमीनालिकन्यासु सर्वे राजाधिराजः ।

gomīnālikanyāsu sarve rājādhirājaḥ |

All ⟨the grahas⟩ in Taurus, Pisces, Scorpio and Virgo — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: go ('cow') = Taurus, ali ('scorpion') = Scorpio.

घटसिंहयुग्मधनुःषु सर्वे राजाधिराजः ।

ghaṭasiṃhayugmadhanuḥṣu sarve rājādhirājaḥ |

All ⟨the grahas⟩ in Aquarius, Leo, Gemini and Sagittarius — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ghaṭa ('pot') = Aquarius, yugma ('the pair') = Gemini.

तुलाङ्गनाहयमृगहरिषु सर्वे राजाधिराजः ।

tulāṅganāhayamṛgahariṣu sarve rājādhirājaḥ |

All ⟨the grahas⟩ in Libra, Virgo, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Leo — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Five signs here, four in the two preceding sūtras — the count is the text's. aṅganā ('woman') = Virgo, haya = Sagittarius, mṛga ('deer') = Capricorn, hari ('lion') = Leo.

ज्ञारार्केज्यर्क्षेषु सघटेषु सर्वे राजाधिराजः ।

jñārārkejyarkṣeṣu saghaṭeṣu sarve rājādhirājaḥ |

All ⟨the grahas⟩ in the signs of Mercury, Mars, the Sun and Jupiter, together with Aquarius — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The signs meant are Gemini and Virgo, Aries and Scorpio, Leo, Sagittarius and Pisces — and Aquarius added by saghaṭeṣu.

ज्ञेन्दुजीवभेषु सर्वे राजाधिराजः ।

jñendujīvabheṣu sarve rājādhirājaḥ |

All ⟨the grahas⟩ in the signs of Mercury, the Moon and Jupiter — a rājādhirāja.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bha = sign (rāśi): Gemini, Virgo, Cancer, Sagittarius, Pisces.

लग्नाद्वा चन्द्राद्धर्मकर्मपावन्योन्यगौ भूपतिः।

lagnādvā candrāddharmakarmapāvanyonyagau bhūpatiḥ|

Reckoned from the lagna or from the Moon, the lords of the 9th and the 10th each standing in the other's place — a king (bhūpati).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: anyonyagau = a mutual exchange of houses (parivartana).

स्वर्क्षगाः सप्त भूपतिः।

svarkṣagāḥ sapta bhūpatiḥ|

Seven ⟨grahas⟩ in their own signs — a king.

सप्तसुहृद्भगा भूपतिः ।

saptasuhṛdbhagā bhūpatiḥ |

Seven ⟨grahas⟩ in the signs of friends — a king.

त्र्यादिग्रहाः स्वोच्चगाः भूपवंशजो भूपतिः ।

tryādigrahāḥ svoccagāḥ bhūpavaṃśajo bhūpatiḥ |

Three or more grahas in their own exaltations — a king born of a royal line.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tryādi = 'three and upward'. Read with 118, where five or more exalted grahas give a king born outside a royal line.

क्रूरेषु स्वोच्चेषु क्रूरो भूपतिः ।

krūreṣu svocceṣu krūro bhūpatiḥ |

The malefics in their own exaltations — a cruel king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra turns on one word used twice: krūra as the class of grahas (malefics) and krūra as the character of the man. The harshness is the text's and is kept.

स्वोच्चेषु शुभेषु शुभमतिर्मिश्रेषु मिश्रमतिर्भूपतिः।

svocceṣu śubheṣu śubhamatirmiśreṣu miśramatirbhūpatiḥ|

The benefics in their own exaltations — a king of auspicious mind; ⟨the exalted grahas⟩ mixed — of mixed mind.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The pair 116–117 grades the king's temper by the class of the exalted grahas: malefics alone, benefics alone, or both.

पञ्चादयो ग्रहा उच्चगा अन्यकुलजो भूपतिः ।

pañcādayo grahā uccagā anyakulajo bhūpatiḥ |

Five or more grahas in exaltation — a king born in another family.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: anyakulaja — born of a house other than the royal one, the counterpart of bhūpavaṃśaja at 115.

चन्द्रेऽङ्गे मन्दार्कारेज्याः स्वोच्चगाः भूपतिः ।

candre'ṅge mandārkārejyāḥ svoccagāḥ bhūpatiḥ |

The Moon in the lagna, and Saturn, the Sun, Mars and Jupiter in their own exaltations — a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed mandākārejyāḥ is corrupt. Restoring one conjunct gives mandārkārejyāḥ = Saturn, the Sun, Mars and Jupiter, which is the nearest reading; mandārkejyāḥ (Saturn, the Sun, Jupiter, as printed at 120) is two akṣaras away. The list is therefore uncertain in its third member. On khoccaga see the note at 95. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads मन्दार्कारेज्याः; this sentence names mandākārejyāḥ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-30: the mūla now reads स्वोच्चगाः. The 1941 leaf (PDF p.303, printed folio 295) was read by eye on 2026-09-23 at about 3.2x native and carries स्व and a visarga; 'khoccaga' above names the form our text held until this date, and the note at 95 answers it the same way.] [2026-09-30: 'The printed mandākārejyāḥ' names the ebhāratī e-text's keying, not the press. The 1941 leaf (PDF p.303, folio 295), read by eye on 2026-09-30 at about 3.0x native, sets मन्दार्कारेज्याः with the repha, and so does the 1915 Śrīnivāsa (p.300). The list Saturn, the Sun, Mars and Jupiter is what both printings set, and it is not uncertain in its third member.]

मृगोनचरेऽङ्गे मन्दार्केज्याः स्वोच्चगाः भूपतिः।

mṛgonacare'ṅge mandārkejyāḥ svoccagāḥ bhūpatiḥ|

The lagna in a movable sign other than Capricorn, and Saturn, the Sun and Jupiter in their own exaltations — a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mṛgona-care = 'a movable sign less Capricorn', the same ūna idiom as dyūnona at 97. The exclusion is exact: the exaltations of Saturn, the Sun and Jupiter are Libra, Aries and Cancer — the three movable signs that remain once Capricorn is set aside. The printed mannda- carries a doubled na, one of this e-text's declared defects, and is left as printed. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads मन्दार्केज्याः for मन्न्दार्केज्याः, corrected on the codepoint on 2026-09-20; the doubled न् this note says is left as printed is gone.]

तुलोनचरेऽङ्गे भौमेज्यार्काः स्वोच्चगाः भूपतिः।

tulonacare'ṅge bhaumejyārkāḥ svoccagāḥ bhūpatiḥ|

The lagna in a movable sign (cara) other than Libra, and Mars, Jupiter and the Sun in their own exaltations: ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: the file prints भौमेज्याकोः, which is not a possible nominative plural; read भौमेज्यार्काः (Mars, Jupiter, Sun) — the r-stroke is lost, the same defect as चन्द्राकौं at 138/148. The trio is fixed by the series: 120 excludes Capricorn and names Saturn/Sun/Jupiter, 122 excludes Cancer and names Saturn/Mars/Sun, 123 excludes Aries and names Saturn/Mars/Jupiter — in each the three grahas exalt in the three movable signs left standing. Excluding Libra leaves Aries, Cancer and Capricorn, i.e. the Sun, Jupiter and Mars. खोच्चगाः here (and at 119, 126) stands for स्वोच्चगाः, 'gone to its own exaltation'; note that this same chapter uses खे alone for the 10th house at 141 and 149. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भौमेज्यार्काः and स्वोच्चगाः; this sentence names भौमेज्याकोः and खोच्चगाः, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

कर्कोनचरेऽङ्गे मन्दारार्काः स्वोच्चगाः भूपतिः ।

The lagna in vargottama and aspected by four or more grahas other than the Moon: ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: चतुष्टयादि = 'a set of four and upward', hence 'four or more' — the number four is the sūtra's own.

vargottame candre grahacatuṣṭayādidṛṣṭe bhūpatiḥ|

The Moon in vargottama and aspected by four or more grahas: ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

  • About this edition: चन्द्राकौं as printed; read चन्द्रार्कौ (Moon + Sun, dual). [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads चन्द्रार्कौ; this sentence names चन्द्राकौं, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

चन्द्रारौ मृगेऽङ्गे चापेऽर्के भूपतिः ।

candrārau mṛge'ṅge cāpe'rke bhūpatiḥ |

The Moon and Mars in Capricorn, ⟨which is⟩ the lagna, and the Sun in Sagittarius: ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

चन्द्रार्की द्यूने सूर्येऽङ्गे चापे जीवे भूपतिः।

candrārkī dyūne sūrye'ṅge cāpe jīve bhūpatiḥ|

The Moon and Saturn (ārki) in the 7th (dyūna), the Sun in the lagna, Jupiter in Sagittarius: ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Contested reading. The file prints चन्द्रार्को (candrārko), which would be the Moon and the Sun; but the same sūtra then places the Sun separately in the lagna (सूर्येऽङ्गे), so the Sun cannot also stand in the 7th. Read चन्द्रारौ (Moon + Māra/Mars), the dual used in the immediately preceding sūtra 139. If instead the printed अर्क is right, the second graha of the pair is unrecoverable from this exemplar; the plates of the 1941 printing would settle it. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads चन्द्रार्की; this sentence names चन्द्रार्को and candrārko, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

तुङ्गेऽङ्गे चन्द्रे सिंहेऽर्के खे यमे द्यूने जीवे भूपतिः।

tuṅge'ṅge candre siṃhe'rke khe yame dyūne jīve bhūpatiḥ|

The Moon exalted in the lagna, the Sun in Leo, Saturn in the 10th (kha), Jupiter in the 7th (dyūna): ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ख alone = the 10th house here (as at 149 and at N.2–N.5), against the compound खोच्च = स्वोच्च at 119, 121 and 126. Since the Moon is exalted in the lagna the lagna is Taurus, and Saturn's 10th is then Aquarius, its own sign.

मृगेऽङ्गे मन्दे सोत्थे चन्द्रे युग्मे भौमे धर्मे ज्ञे व्यये जीवे पृथुयशोगुणी भूपतिः।

mṛge'ṅge mande sotthe candre yugme bhaume dharme jñe vyaye jīve pṛthuyaśoguṇī bhūpatiḥ|

Saturn in Capricorn, ⟨which is⟩ the lagna; the Moon in the 3rd ⟨sottha⟩; Mars in Gemini; Mercury in the 9th (dharma); Jupiter in the 12th (vyaya): ⟨the native is⟩ a king of broad fame and of merit.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सोत्थे is uncertain. Every other place named in this sūtra is a house-word (धर्म 9th, व्यय 12th), so सोत्थ is taken as sa-uttha, 'arisen together', the sense of सहज = the 3rd house. It could instead be an OCR corruption of स्वोच्चे ('exalted'), which would leave the Moon's house unstated. Settle it on the plates. पृथुयशोगुणी = pṛthu-yaśas + guṇin, 'of broad fame, endowed with merit'.

चापे चन्द्रेज्यौ मृगमुखे भौमे तुङ्गगज्ञाच्छान्यतरेऽङ्गे भूपतिः ।

cāpe candrejyau mṛgamukhe bhaume tuṅgagajñācchānyatare'ṅge bhūpatiḥ |

The Moon and Jupiter in Sagittarius, Mars at the mouth ⟨the first part⟩ of Capricorn, and either of the exalted Mercury and Venus in the lagna: ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अच्छ is read as Venus: अच्छ = 'clear, bright, white', the same sense that gives Venus its ordinary names सित and शुक्र, and the graha is otherwise unnamed in a sūtra that names all the rest. The same word recurs at 147 in a list चन्द्र-अच्छ-ज्ञ. On this reading the lagna is Virgo or Pisces, the exaltation signs of Mercury and Venus. मृगमुख = 'the mouth of Capricorn', its opening degrees.

ज्ञे तुङ्गेऽङ्गे यमारौ सुते चन्द्रेज्यसितास्तुर्ये गुणी भूपतिः ।

jñe tuṅge'ṅge yamārau sute candrejyasitāsturye guṇī bhūpatiḥ |

Mercury exalted in the lagna, Saturn and Mars in the 5th (suta), the Moon, Jupiter and Venus in the 4th (turya): ⟨the native is⟩ a king endowed with merit.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: the file prints चन्द्रेज्यसितास्तुयें; read चन्द्रेज्यसिताः तुर्ये (visarga sandhi before तुर्ये gives -स्तुर्ये), the r-stroke lost and a stray anusvāra added as elsewhere in this chapter. Mercury exalted in the lagna makes the lagna Virgo, so the 5th is Capricorn — Saturn's own sign and Mars's exaltation. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads चन्द्रेज्यसितास्तुर्ये; this sentence names चन्द्रेज्यसितास्तुयें, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

कुम्भे मन्दे तुङ्गे भौमे स्वर्क्षेऽर्के मीनेऽङ्गे चन्द्रे भूपतिः।

kumbhe mande tuṅge bhaume svarkṣe'rke mīne'ṅge candre bhūpatiḥ|

Saturn in Aquarius, Mars exalted, the Sun in its own sign, the Moon in Pisces, ⟨which is⟩ the lagna: ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

तुङ्गे जीवे मेषे भौमे तदन्यतरेऽङ्गे भूपतिः।

tuṅge jīve meṣe bhaume tadanyatare'ṅge bhūpatiḥ|

Jupiter exalted and Mars in Aries, either of those two ⟨signs⟩ being the lagna: ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: तदन्यतरेऽङ्गे — 'either of those being the lagna': Jupiter's exaltation is Cancer, so the lagna is Cancer or Aries.

मेषेऽर्के चन्द्राच्छज्ञेषु लाभगेषु तुङ्गेऽङ्गे जीवे भूपतिः।

meṣe'rke candrācchajñeṣu lābhageṣu tuṅge'ṅge jīve bhūpatiḥ|

The Sun in Aries; the Moon, Venus and Mercury standing in the 11th (lābha); Jupiter exalted in the lagna: ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अच्छ again read as Venus (see 143). Jupiter exalted in the lagna makes the lagna Cancer, whose 11th is Taurus — the Moon's own exaltation and Venus's own sign; the Sun is then in the 10th.

मृगेऽर्कजेऽङ्गे चन्द्रार्कौ स्वर्क्षे भौमेऽजे ज्ञे युग्मे तुले शुक्रे पृथुयशो भूपतिः।

mṛge'rkaje'ṅge candrārkau svarkṣe bhaume'je jñe yugme tule śukre pṛthuyaśo bhūpatiḥ|

Saturn in Capricorn, which is the lagna; the Moon and the Sun in their own signs; Mars in Aries; Mercury in Gemini; Venus in Libra: ⟨the native is⟩ a king of broad fame.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: the file prints मृगेऽर्केऽजेऽङ्गे; read मृगेऽर्कजेऽजेऽङ्गे (अर्कज = Saturn), a single dropped ज. The printed text would put the Sun in Capricorn, which contradicts चन्द्रार्कौ स्वर्क्षे ('the Moon and the Sun in their own signs') two words later. On the corrected reading every graha the sūtra names stands in its own sign — Saturn in Capricorn, Moon in Cancer, Sun in Leo, Mars in Aries, Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Libra — which is what fixes it. चन्द्राकौं = चन्द्रार्कौ as at 137 and 138. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads चन्द्रार्कौ; this sentence names चन्द्राकौं, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads मृगेऽर्कजेऽङ्गे for मृगेऽर्केऽजेऽङ्गे, on the arithmetic; the same akṣaras are regrouped so that our जे is the जे of अर्कजे, and no ज is added. That makes Capricorn the lagna, as the 1941's own English band renders it ('Saturn occupy the sign Makara identical with the Lagna'), and not Aries; the reading proposed above, मृगेऽर्कजेऽजेऽङ्गे, is carried by no witness.]

ज्ञे तुङ्गेऽङ्गे खे शुक्रे चन्द्रेज्यौ द्यूने मन्दारौ सुते भूपतिः ।

jñe tuṅge'ṅge khe śukre candrejyau dyūne mandārau sute bhūpatiḥ |

Mercury exalted in the lagna, Venus in the 10th (kha), the Moon and Jupiter in the 7th (dyūna), Saturn and Mars in the 5th (suta): ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

आत्मकारकाद्धने तुर्ये सुते शुभे भूपतिः ।

ātmakārakāddhane turye sute śubhe bhūpatiḥ |

A benefic in the 2nd, the 4th ⟨or⟩ the 5th from the ātmakāraka: ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: आत्मकारक is the Jaimini 'significator of the self', the graha holding the highest degree in the chart; the three houses are counted from the sign it occupies. धन = the 2nd, तुर्य = the 4th, सुत = the 5th. The three locatives stand in apposition without वा, so 'or' is supplied.

आत्मकारकाद्रिपुसोत्थगौ पापौ भूपतिः ।

ātmakārakādripusotthagau pāpau bhūpatiḥ |

Two malefics placed in the 6th (ripu) and the 3rd (sahottha) from the Ātmakāraka — a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सोत्थ (sottha) is read as सहोत्थ, 'co-born' — a synonym of सहज, the 3rd house; the printing is OCR and drops the ह. The identification rests on the synonym-set, not on the plate: the same word returns at 158, and the 3rd/6th pair is the standard upacaya placement for malefics, which supports the reading. The lagna is अङ्ग everywhere else in this chapter (152, 153, 156, 160, 167, 177), so सोत्थ is not the lagna.

कर्केऽङ्गे तुर्येऽर्कजारौ खे ज्ञेज्यार्कशुक्रा भूपतिः ।

karke'ṅge turye'rkajārau khe jñejyārkaśukrā bhūpatiḥ |

Cancer as the lagna, Saturn and Mars in the 4th (turya), Mercury, Jupiter, the Sun and Venus in the 10th (kha) — a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुक is this text's short form of शुक्र (Venus); cf. 158. [2026-09-23: the plate refutes this. Read by eye at about 2.4x and 5.0x native, the 1941 exemplar (jt-sastri-english, PDF p.309, folio 301, line 16) sets ज्ञेज्यार्कशुक्रा with the subscript र fully inked, and the mūla now reads so. So शुक was a ्र our e-text dropped, not a short form of शुक्र. At 14.158 the same dropped ्र in शुके was corrected to शुक्रे on the lexicon on 2026-09-20.]

कुम्भेऽङ्गे शुक्रे चतुर्षु स्वोच्चगेषु भूपतिः ।

kumbhe'ṅge śukre caturṣu svoccageṣu bhūpatiḥ |

Aquarius as the lagna with Venus ⟨in it⟩, and four ⟨grahas⟩ placed in their own signs or exaltations — a king.

बलाढ्याः स्वोच्चगाः पूर्वषट्के पूर्वदले नृपोऽन्यथाऽपरदले ।

balāḍhyāḥ svoccagāḥ pūrvaṣaṭke pūrvadale nṛpo'nyathā'paradale |

Strong ⟨grahas⟩, placed in their own signs or exaltations, in the first six ⟨signs⟩ ⟨and⟩ in the earlier half ⟨of the sign⟩ — a king; otherwise ⟨— in the remaining six —⟩ in the later half.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नपो in the printing is नृपो (nṛpo, 'a king'): the ृ is lost, नप is not a word, and the whole viveka concerns kingship. The sūtra is elliptical — 'a king' is carried over into the second clause, and it does not state whether पूर्वदल/अपरदल is the half of the sign or of the zodiac; rendered as the half of the sign, since पूर्वषट्क already names the first six. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads नृपोऽन्यथाऽपरदले; this sentence names नपो, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

पूर्णेन्दुयुक्तौ मन्दारौ भाग्ये भूपतिः ।

pūrṇenduyuktau mandārau bhāgye bhūpatiḥ |

Saturn and Mars joined with the full Moon in the 9th (bhāgya) — a king.

जीवर्क्षतुलेऽङ्गेऽर्कजे भूपजो भूपतिः ।

jīvarkṣatule'ṅge'rkaje bhūpajo bhūpatiḥ |

Jupiter's sign or Libra rising, with Saturn ⟨in it⟩ — a king's son becomes a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: भूपज is 'born of a king'; the clause भूपजो भूपतिः runs through 156–160 and is rendered alike throughout.

खे ज्ञार्कौ राह्वारौ षष्ठे भूपजो भूपतिः।

khe jñārkau rāhvārau ṣaṣṭhe bhūpajo bhūpatiḥ|

Mercury and the Sun in the 10th (kha), Rāhu and Mars in the 6th — a king's son becomes a king.

सोत्थे जीवे रन्ध्रे शुक्रे भूपजो भूपतिः ।

sotthe jīve randhre śukre bhūpajo bhūpatiḥ |

Jupiter in the 3rd (sahottha), Venus in the 8th (randhra) — a king's son becomes a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सोत्थ read as at 151.

सिंहे कुजे युग्मे राहौ भूपजो भूपतिः ।

siṃhe kuje yugme rāhau bhūpajo bhūpatiḥ |

Mars in Leo, Rāhu in Gemini — a king's son becomes a king.

चन्द्रारावङ्गे वा दशमे भूपजो भूपतिः ।

candrārāvaṅge vā daśame bhūpajo bhūpatiḥ |

The Moon and Mars in the lagna, or in the 10th — a king's son becomes a king.

लग्नपसौम्या उपचये राजा ।

lagnapasaumyā upacaye rājā |

The lord of the lagna and the benefics in an upacaya ⟨house — the 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th⟩ — a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सौम्य is taken as the class 'benefics' and not as Mercury: the compound is plural (सौम्याः), whereas a dvandva of the lagna-lord with Mercury alone would be dual. The four upacaya houses are supplied; the sūtra says only उपचये.

राह्वारचन्द्राः पञ्चमे राजा ।

rāhvāracandrāḥ pañcame rājā |

Rāhu, Mars and the Moon in the 5th — a king.

उदये चरे भाग्यपे सिंहासने केन्द्रे राजा ।

udaye care bhāgyape siṃhāsane kendre rājā |

A movable sign rising, ⟨and⟩ the lord of the 9th in siṃhāsana ⟨aṃśa⟩ and in a kendra — a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सिंहासन ('throne') is kept untranslated: it is a division-name, and the sūtra does not say of which varga. The three locatives are read as all qualifying भाग्यप; a reading that takes केन्द्रे of the grahas generally is grammatically open and cannot be excluded from this text alone.

खे स्थिराङ्गेशे केन्द्रे जीवे राजा ।

khe sthirāṅgeśe kendre jīve rājā |

A fixed sign as the lagna, its lord in the 10th (kha), and Jupiter in a kendra — a king.

भाग्येशांशेशे सुखे पुत्रे राजा ।

bhāgyeśāṃśeśe sukhe putre rājā |

The lord of the aṃśa ⟨occupied by⟩ the lord of the 9th, in the 4th (sukha) or the 5th (putra) — a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अंश unqualified is the navāṃśa by the text's own usage, but the sūtra does not say so and it is left as अंश here.

शुभषष्ट्यंशेऽर्के केन्द्रायकोणे भूपजो भूपोऽन्यजो मन्त्री ।

śubhaṣaṣṭyaṃśe'rke kendrāyakoṇe bhūpajo bhūpo'nyajo mantrī |

The Sun in an auspicious ṣaṣṭyaṃśa and in a kendra, the 11th (āya), or a trikoṇa — a king's son becomes a king, one born of another a minister.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sixty ṣaṣṭyaṃśas, auspicious and inauspicious, are named by this work at A.22.

सुतेशेऽङ्के धर्मपे सुते भूपजो भूपोऽन्यजो मन्त्री ।

suteśe'ṅke dharmape sute bhūpajo bhūpo'nyajo mantrī |

The lord of the 5th (suta) in the lagna, the lord of the 9th (dharma) in the 5th — a king's son becomes a king, one born of another a minister.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्के in the printing is अङ्गे (aṅge, the lagna): अङ्क is no house-name here, while अङ्गे for the lagna stands at 152, 153, 156 and 160.

कोणाम्बुराज्याङ्गेशाः युक्ताः भूपजो भूपोन्यजो मन्त्री ।

koṇāmburājyāṅgeśāḥ yuktāḥ bhūpajo bhūponyajo mantrī |

The lords of a trikoṇa, of the 4th (ambu), of the 10th (rājya) and of the lagna joined together — a king's son becomes a king, one born of another a minister.

चन्द्राद्दशमेशे सबले केन्द्रनवमार्थे भूपजो भूपोऽन्यजो मन्त्री।

candrāddaśameśe sabale kendranavamārthe bhūpajo bhūpo'nyajo mantrī|

The lord of the 10th from the Moon, strong, in a kendra, the 9th, or the 2nd (artha) — a king's son becomes a king, one born of another a minister.

एकोऽप्युच्चगो मित्रदृष्टो भूपतिः ।

eko'pyuccago mitradṛṣṭo bhūpatiḥ |

Even one ⟨graha⟩ alone, exalted and aspected by a friend — a king.

धर्मेशे जीवर्क्षे खे शुक्रे पुत्रेशदृष्टे भूपतिः ।

dharmeśe jīvarkṣe khe śukre putreśadṛṣṭe bhūpatiḥ |

The lord of the 9th (dharma) in Jupiter's sign, Venus in the 10th (kha) aspected by the lord of the 5th (putra) — a king.

शुक्रेज्यौ तुर्ये भूपतिः ।

śukrejyau turye bhūpatiḥ |

kanyāyāṃ candrajñau bhūpatiḥ |

The Moon and Mercury in Virgo — a king.

तुङ्गेऽर्के सबलमन्दयुते भूपतिः ।

The Sun exalted and joined with a strong Saturn — a king.

शुक्रेज्यौ तुङ्गगौ केन्द्रकोणे भूपतिः।

śukrejyau tuṅgagau kendrakoṇe bhūpatiḥ|

Venus and Jupiter exalted, in a kendra or a trikoṇa — a king.

नगार्थाङ्गान्त्येषु सर्वेषु भूपतिः।

nagārthāṅgāntyeṣu sarveṣu bhūpatiḥ|

⟨The grahas⟩ in all ⟨of these⟩ — the 7th (naga), the 2nd (artha), the 1st (aṅga) and the 12th (antya) — a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नगार्द्धाङ्गान्त्येषु: नग is the number-word for seven, hence the 7th house, and अङ्ग and अन्त्य are the 1st and the 12th, all three secure. अर्द्ध ('half') is a house-name nowhere else in this chapter or in this text's vocabulary; the printing is OCR that errs at the akṣara level, and अर्थ (artha, the 2nd house, used at 169 and 180) is the likeliest word behind the र्द्ध ligature — but the plate has not been consulted, so the term is left unresolved rather than emended. The shape of the rule (every graha confined to these few places) survives the doubt; the identity of the second house in the list does not. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads नगार्थाङ्गान्त्येषु; this sentence names नगार्द्धाङ्गान्त्येषु, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

द्यूनोनकेन्द्रकोणे सुखेशे भूपतिः ।

dyūnonakendrakoṇe sukheśe bhūpatiḥ |

The lord of the 4th (sukha) in a kendra other than the 7th (dyūna), or in a trikoṇa — a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: द्यूनोन- is dyūna-ūna, 'the kendras less the 7th'.

गुरावुच्चगे केन्द्रे खे शुक्रे भूपतिः ।

gurāvuccage kendre khe śukre bhūpatiḥ |

Jupiter exalted in a kendra, Venus in the 10th (kha) — a king.

केन्द्रकोणार्थे खेशे शुभदृष्टे भूपतिः ।

kendrakoṇārthe kheśe śubhadṛṣṭe bhūpatiḥ |

The lord of the 10th (kha) in a kendra, a trikoṇa, or the 2nd (artha), aspected by a benefic — a king.

सशुभे खेशे सुते पुत्रपे चापे भूपतिः ।

saśubhe kheśe sute putrape cāpe bhūpatiḥ |

When the lord of the 10th, accompanied by a benefic, is in the 5th, and the lord of the 5th is in Cāpa (Sagittarius), ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kha ('sky') is the 10th house and suta the 5th, both standard in this text; cāpa ('bow') is the rāśi Dhanus, not a house.

धनेशे पारावते शुभदृष्टे चन्द्रात् पुण्यपे देवलोके भूपतिः।

dhaneśe pārāvate śubhadṛṣṭe candrāt puṇyape devaloke bhūpatiḥ|

When the lord of the 2nd is in pārāvata ⟨aṃśa⟩ and aspected by a benefic, and the lord of the 9th reckoned from the Moon is in devaloka ⟨aṃśa⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pārāvata and devaloka are not places in the chart but names on the daśavarga strength-ladder (a graha holding six auspicious vargas is in pārāvatāṃśa, seven in devalokāṃśa); the same ladder is invoked by gopura in sūtra 188. puṇya = the 9th house, and candrāt makes it the 9th counted from the Moon, not from the lagna.

लग्नेशेऽङ्के खेशेऽङ्गे भूपतिः।

lagneśe'ṅke kheśe'ṅge bhūpatiḥ|

When the lord of the lagna is in the 9th (aṅka) and the lord of the 10th in the 1st (aṅga), ⟨the native is⟩ a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Both house-names are number/body words: aṅka is the number-word for nine, hence the 9th; aṅga is 'the body', hence the 1st (lagna). aṅga could also be read as the number six, but sūtra 184 settles it — there the Sun and Moon stand in aṅga while Jupiter is in the 9th in Sagittarius, which fixes an Aries lagna, and only aṅga = the 1st makes that configuration coherent (the Sun exalted in the lagna, Mars exalted in the 10th).

पुष्पवन्तावङ्गे खे भौमे यम आये धर्मे चापगे जीवे भूपतिः ।

puṣpavantāvaṅge khe bhaume yama āye dharme cāpage jīve bhūpatiḥ |

The Sun and Moon (puṣpavantau) in the 1st, Mars in the 10th, Saturn in the 11th, and Jupiter in the 9th, ⟨that 9th being⟩ Sagittarius — a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: puṣpavantau is the dual epithet of the Sun and Moon together. The 9th being Sagittarius makes the lagna Aries, so the configuration is: the Sun exalted in the lagna, Mars exalted in the 10th (Capricorn), Saturn in his own 11th (Aquarius) and Jupiter in his own 9th.

स्वर्क्षे शुक्रे तुर्ये धर्मे चन्द्रे भूपतिः ।

svarkṣe śukre turye dharme candre bhūpatiḥ |

Venus in its own sign in the 4th, and the Moon in the 9th — a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra as printed gives two house-locatives, turya (4th) and dharma (9th), for the single graha candra, with no vā ('or') and no second graha-name. Either the alternative particle or a graha-name has dropped out; ⟨or⟩ is supplied as the lesser conjecture, and the alternative — that a lost graha belongs to one of the two houses — cannot be excluded from this one exemplar.

यमेऽङ्गे तुर्ये जीवे च पुष्पवन्तौ दशमे लाभे ज्ञाराच्छा भूपतिः ।

yame'ṅge turye jīve ca puṣpavantau daśame lābhe jñārācchā bhūpatiḥ |

Saturn in the 1st, Jupiter in the 4th, the Sun and Moon in the 10th, and Mercury (jña), Mars (āra) and Venus (accha) in the 11th — a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: CORRECTED 2026-09-08. ज्ञाराच्छा is jña + āra + acchā — Mercury, Mars and Venus — a nominative PLURAL naming three grahas, which is why the ending is -āḥ and not the dual -au. The earlier note called the closing syllable 'a misread ca' and dropped Venus from a rājayoga. 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. The identical three-graha plural मन्दाराच्छा stands at B.98 of this same corpus and our own file renders it with Venus. 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'.

दशायोदयगाश्चन्द्रार्किजीवा ज्ञारौ धने शुक्रार्कौ तुर्ये भूपतिः ।

daśāyodayagāścandrārkijīvā jñārau dhane śukrārkau turye bhūpatiḥ |

The Moon, Saturn and Jupiter placed in the 10th, the 11th and the ascendant; Mercury and Mars in the 2nd; Venus and the Sun in the 4th — a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुक्राकौं is a scanner misreading of शुक्रार्कौ, the dual 'Venus and the Sun'; the stray anusvāra has no grammar behind it. The first clause pairs three grahas with three places in order but does not say which goes to which, and the Sanskrit does not distribute them — the English keeps that indeterminacy. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुक्रार्कौ; this sentence names शुक्राकौं, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

गुरौ गोपुरादौ बलिनि सुतेशयुते भूपजो भूपान्यजो मन्त्री।

gurau gopurādau balini suteśayute bhūpajo bhūpānyajo mantrī|

When Jupiter, strong in gopura and the ⟨vargas⟩ above it, is joined with the lord of the 5th: one born of a king ⟨becomes a king⟩; one born of other than a king becomes a minister.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: gopurādau — 'in gopura and what follows' — again the daśavarga strength-ladder of sūtra 182 (gopura is the fourth rung), so the sense is 'at gopura strength or better'. The apodosis is elliptical: bhūpajaḥ (born of a king) has no predicate, and the predicate 'is a king' is supplied from the run of sūtras above; bhūpānyajaḥ is bhūpa-anyajaḥ, 'born of one other than a king'.

नवायखेशा नीचगा व्यर्था राजयोगाः।

navāyakheśā nīcagā vyarthā rājayogāḥ|

When the lords of the 9th, the 11th and the 10th are debilitated, the rājayogas are void.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vyartha is 'to no purpose, fruitless' — the yogas stand in the chart and yield nothing. This sūtra opens a run of cancellations (189–204) that closes the section.

भद्रायां व्यतीपाते क्रान्तीपाते जन्मनि व्यर्था राजयोगाः।

bhadrāyāṃ vyatīpāte krāntīpāte janmani vyarthā rājayogāḥ|

⟨When⟩ the birth falls in Bhadrā, in Vyatīpāta, or at a krāntipāta, the rājayogas are void.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Bhadrā is the viṣṭi karaṇa; Vyatīpāta is the seventeenth of the twenty-seven nitya-yogas; krāntipāta is the crossing of the ecliptic and the celestial equator, i.e. an equinoctial moment. All three are defects of the birth TIME, not of the chart's placements.

परमनीचांशे चन्द्रे व्यर्था राजयोगाः ।

paramanīcāṃśe candre vyarthā rājayogāḥ |

When the Moon is in the aṃśa of deepest debilitation (paramanīca), the rājayogas are void.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṃśa throughout this run means the navāṃśa; paramanīca is the exact degree of deepest fall, not merely the sign of debilitation.

उच्चगाः खेटाः नीचांशगाः व्यर्था राजयोगाः ।

uccagāḥ kheṭāḥ nīcāṃśagāḥ vyarthā rājayogāḥ |

Grahas placed in exaltation ⟨but⟩ occupying debilitation aṃśas — the rājayogas are void.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kheṭa = graha. The printing gives व्यर्थी राजयोगा for व्यर्था राजयोगाः — a dropped visarga and a stray mātrā, kept as printed; the sense is unaffected. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads व्यर्था for व्यर्थी; राजयोगाः for राजयोगा, 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.]

उच्चेऽर्के नीचांशे राजपुत्रोऽपि नीचतां गच्छति ।

ucce'rke nīcāṃśe rājaputro'pi nīcatāṃ gacchati |

When the Sun is exalted ⟨but⟩ in a debilitation aṃśa, even a king's son comes to lowliness.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: nīcatāṃ gacchati is 'goes to lowness' — degradation of estate, and the verse names the king's son deliberately: the highest birth does not exempt him.

परमनीचगेऽर्के व्यर्था राजयोगाः ।

paramanīcage'rke vyarthā rājayogāḥ |

When the Sun is in deepest debilitation, the rājayogas are void.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Here paramanīca-ga is said of the Sun's own position (the exact fall-degree in Libra), not of his aṃśa as in 191 and 202.

नीचगे शुक्रे सिंहांशे वा स्वांशे व्यर्था राजयोगाः ।

nīcage śukre siṃhāṃśe vā svāṃśe vyarthā rājayogāḥ |

When Venus is debilitated, ⟨and⟩ in the aṃśa of Siṃha (Leo) or in his own aṃśa, the rājayogas are void.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Debilitated Venus stands in Virgo, whose navāṃśas run Capricorn to Virgo — so both the Leo navāṃśa and Venus's own (Taurus, Libra) are reachable from it, and the sūtra is arithmetically possible as printed. That his OWN aṃśa should cancel is unexpected but is what the text says.

राज्यदा नीचारात्यस्तगा व्यर्था राजयोगाः ।

rājyadā nīcārātyastagā vyarthā rājayogāḥ |

When the givers of sovereignty are debilitated, in an enemy's ⟨sign⟩, or set, the rājayogas are void.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: asta here is setting/combustion, not the 7th house (the glossary's usual reading): it stands third in a list of dignity-states beside nīca and ārāti (enemy), which fixes the sense. rājyadāḥ = the grahas that confer the kingdom in the yogas just given.

उत्पातदिने जन्मनि व्यर्था राजयोगाः।

utpātadine janmani vyarthā rājayogāḥ|

⟨When⟩ the birth is on a day of portents (utpāta), the rājayogas are void.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: utpāta is a prodigy or calamitous omen — earthquake, meteor, eclipse-like portent; the defect is again in the day of birth, not in the chart.

दशमे नीचखगे व्यर्था राजयोगाः ।

daśame nīcakhage vyarthā rājayogāḥ |

When the graha in the 10th is debilitated, the rājayogas are void.

चतुर्षु खगेषु शत्रुभगेषु वा नीचांशगेषु व्यर्था राजयोगाः।

caturṣu khageṣu śatrubhageṣu vā nīcāṃśageṣu vyarthā rājayogāḥ|

When four grahas are in enemy signs or in debilitation aṃśas, the rājayogas are void.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The number four is the sūtra's own (caturṣu); it is a threshold, not an enumeration of which four.

ग्रहमात्रादृष्टश्चन्द्रो वा लग्नं व्यर्था राजयोगाः ।

grahamātrādṛṣṭaścandro vā lagnaṃ vyarthā rājayogāḥ |

⟨When⟩ the Moon, or the lagna, is unaspected by any graha at all, the rājayogas are void.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: grahamātra-adṛṣṭa is 'not aspected by so much as one graha' — the point is total absence of aspect, hence 'at all'.

सिंहांशेऽर्के पापयुते क्षीणेन्दौ सौम्यादृष्टे व्यर्था राजयोगाः ।

siṃhāṃśe'rke pāpayute kṣīṇendau saumyādṛṣṭe vyarthā rājayogāḥ |

The Sun in the aṃśa of Siṃha (Leo) joined with a malefic, the waning Moon unaspected by benefics — the rājayogas are void.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: saumya here is the CLASS (benefics), not the graha Mercury: it is paired against pāpa in the same sūtra, and a waning Moon unaspected by benefics is the standard defect.

परमनीचांशे जीवे वा शुक्रे व्यर्था राजयोगाः।

paramanīcāṃśe jīve vā śukre vyarthā rājayogāḥ|

When Jupiter, or Venus, is in the aṃśa of deepest debilitation, the rājayogas are void.

पापा नीचगाः सर्वे कण्टकगाः सौम्यास्त्रिकगाः व्यर्था राजयोगाः ।

pāpā nīcagāḥ sarve kaṇṭakagāḥ saumyāstrikagāḥ vyarthā rājayogāḥ |

All the malefics debilitated and standing in the kendras (kaṇṭaka), the benefics in the trika houses ⟨the 6th, 8th and 12th⟩ — the rājayogas are void.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kaṇṭaka = kendra, per the standing glossary row. trika is the group 6-8-12, which the sūtra names only by the collective word; the three numbers are supplied.

सौम्या अस्तगा केन्द्रहीना लग्ने राहौ चन्द्रदृष्टे पापाः षट्त्र्यायगाः व्यर्था राजयोगाः ।

saumyā astagā kendrahīnā lagne rāhau candradṛṣṭe pāpāḥ ṣaṭtryāyagāḥ vyarthā rājayogāḥ |

The benefics set ⟨combust⟩ and devoid of a kendra; Rāhu in the lagna aspected by the Moon; the malefics in the 6th, the 3rd and the 11th — the rājayogas are void.

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 दशमविवेकः॥”
  • About this edition: अत्तमा is a misprint with two candidate readings: उत्तमा ('excellent', one mātrā away) or अस्तमा ('set, combust', one conjunct away). The clause turns on which — benefics excellent but out of the kendras, or benefics combust and out of the kendras — and this single exemplar cannot decide it; उत्तमा is followed here as the smaller emendation and the alternative is left on the record. The three conditions are listed in parallel and the Sanskrit does not say whether they cancel jointly or severally. ṣaṭ-tri-āya = the 6th, 3rd and 11th, in that order. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads अस्तगा; this sentence names अत्तमा, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-23: the plate decides it. Read by eye at about 2.9x to 4.0x native, the 1941 exemplar (jt-sastri-english, PDF p.317, folio 309) sets अस्तगा, 'set, combust'. In this scan the ग has lost its left arm and shows its foot only as a dot, which is why the e-text read म; the Sadhana Press impression of the same type (PDF p.323) prints the ग whole. So neither उत्तमा nor अस्तमा is the press's reading, and the benefics here are combust, not excellent. The mūla now reads अस्तगा.]

Adhyāya 16 · P. अथैकादशविवेकः

लाभे शुभा न्यायतो लाभोऽन्यथाऽन्यायतो मिश्रा उभयथा।

lābhe śubhā nyāyato lābho'nyathā'nyāyato miśrā ubhayathā|

⟨Benefics⟩ in the 11th house ⟨lābha⟩ — gain by lawful means; otherwise ⟨malefics⟩ — by unlawful means; mixed ⟨grahas⟩ — in both ways.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra names only śubhāḥ; anyathā ('otherwise') leaves the malefic case to be supplied, and the edition's facing English supplies it the same way ('otherwise, through bad ways').

लाभे शुभदृष्ट्याधिक्ये बहुलाभः ।

lābhe śubhadṛṣṭyādhikye bahulābhaḥ |

When benefic aspect on the 11th house predominates — abundant gain.

लाभपे केन्द्रकोणे बहुलाभः ।

lābhape kendrakoṇe bahulābhaḥ |

The lord of the 11th in a kendra or a trikoṇa — abundant gain.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: the mūla prints बहुलामः (bahulāmaḥ) where the neighbouring sūtras 2 and 4 both read बहुलाभः — भ misread as म. The reading is secure: the edition's own facing English has 'much gain'. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads बहुलाभः; this sentence names bahulāmaḥ and बहुलामः, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

लाभपे शुभसम्बन्धे बहुलाभः ।

lābhape śubhasambandhe bahulābhaḥ |

The lord of the 11th in relation with a benefic — abundant gain.

चन्द्राद्द्यूने शुक्रे यानवान् ।

candrāddyūne śukre yānavān |

Venus in the 7th ⟨dyūna⟩ from the Moon — ⟨the native⟩ possesses vehicles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: द्यून (dyūna) is this text's name for the 7th house — not in GLOSSARY.md, which lists जामित्र, अस्त and मद for the 7th; a candidate row.

चन्द्रात्सिते सोत्थाये यानवान् ।

candrātsite sotthāye yānavān |

Venus in the 3rd ⟨sahottha⟩ or the 11th ⟨āya⟩ from the Moon — ⟨the native⟩ possesses vehicles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: the mūla prints सोत्थाये; the form is सहोत्थाये (sahottha-āye), with ह dropped. सहोत्थ 'co-arisen, born together' is a 3rd-house synonym (the house of the co-born), so the compound is a dvandva of the 3rd and the 11th. This is not conjecture: the edition's own facing English reads 'Venus be in the 3rd or the 11th house reckoned from the Moon'. Without that control the position — the whole predicate of the sūtra — would have been unrecoverable.

सुखेशे लाभे गुरुदृष्टे बहुयानवान् ।

sukheśe lābhe gurudṛṣṭe bahuyānavān |

The lord of the 4th in the 11th, aspected by Jupiter — ⟨the native⟩ possesses many vehicles.

गुरुदृष्टसुखेशेन सुखे दृष्टे यानवान् ।

gurudṛṣṭasukheśena sukhe dṛṣṭe yānavān |

The 4th house aspected by the lord of the 4th, that lord being itself aspected by Jupiter — ⟨the native⟩ possesses vehicles.

जीवाच्छौ सुखेशयुतौ केन्द्रकोणायगौ यानव्यूहनाथः ।

jīvācchau sukheśayutau kendrakoṇāyagau yānavyūhanāthaḥ |

Jupiter ⟨jīva⟩ and Venus ⟨accha⟩, joined with the lord of the 4th and placed in a kendra, a trikoṇa, or the 11th ⟨āya⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ lord of a host of vehicles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अच्छ (accha, 'the clear/bright one') is Venus here — a graha-epithet not in GLOSSARY.md; a candidate row. The dual compounds जीवाच्छौ (this sūtra) and इज्याच्छौ (10) are grammatically clean exactly as printed (jīva/ijyā + acchau; both first members leave ā before the vowel-initial second), so this is not an OCR fault, and the edition's facing English reads 'Jupiter and Venus' at both places. यानव्यूहनाथ is rendered literally 'lord of a host of vehicles'; the printed English flattens it to 'will own a multitude of vehicles'.

इज्याच्छौ धर्मपयुतौ भाग्ये वा तुर्ये यानवान् ।

ijyācchau dharmapayutau bhāgye vā turye yānavān |

Jupiter ⟨ijyā⟩ and Venus ⟨accha⟩, joined with the lord of the 9th, in the 9th ⟨bhāgya⟩ or the 4th ⟨turya⟩ — ⟨the native⟩ possesses vehicles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अच्छ = Venus, as at sūtra 9. Both धर्म and भाग्य name the 9th within this one sūtra: the lord is named by धर्मप, the place by भाग्ये.

धनपयुतेऽन्त्येशे तुङ्गे भाग्यपदृष्टे यानवान् ।

dhanapayute'ntyeśe tuṅge bhāgyapadṛṣṭe yānavān |

The lord of the 12th ⟨antya⟩, joined with the lord of the 2nd, exalted, and aspected by the lord of the 9th — ⟨the native⟩ possesses vehicles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अन्त्य ('the last') is the 12th house. The edition's facing English for this sūtra is lost in the scanned text layer, so the rendering rests on the Sanskrit alone; the locative-absolute chain is unambiguous.

धर्मायखेशास्तुर्ये वाहनसुखम् ॥

dharmāyakheśāsturye vāhanasukham ||

The lords of the 9th ⟨dharma⟩, the 11th ⟨āya⟩ and the 10th ⟨kha⟩ in the 4th ⟨turya⟩ — happiness of vehicles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: the mūla prints तुयें for तुर्ये (turye, 'in the 4th') — the repha riding य read as a following anusvāra. This is also the one sūtra in the unit that the file closes with ॥ rather than ।, kept as printed. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads धर्मायखेशास्तुर्ये; this sentence names तुयें, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

खे उच्चगखेटे धर्माङ्गेशदृष्टे वाहनसुखम् ।

khe uccagakheṭe dharmāṅgeśadṛṣṭe vāhanasukham |

A graha ⟨kheṭa⟩ gone to exaltation standing in the 10th ⟨kha⟩, aspected by the lords of the 9th ⟨dharma⟩ and of the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ — happiness of vehicles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ख names the 10th (the zenith) and अङ्ग the 1st (the body) throughout this section; खेट is the ordinary word for a graha.

सिंहासनेऽम्बुकर्मेशौ लग्नेशदृष्टौ वाहनसुखम् ।

siṃhāsane'mbukarmeśau lagneśadṛṣṭau vāhanasukham |

The lords of the 4th ⟨ambu⟩ and the 10th ⟨karma⟩ in siṃhāsana ⟨the Siṃhāsanāṃśa⟩, aspected by the lord of the lagna — happiness of vehicles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सिंहासन is the Siṃhāsanāṃśa, a named varga dignity in this book's vaiśeṣikāṃśa scheme (with gopura, pārāvata and the rest), not the ordinary 'throne': the edition's facing English reads 'have attained Simhasanamsas'. अम्बु ('water') is the 4th house.

सुखेशे सबले शुभदृष्टयुते वाहनसुखम् ।

sukheśe sabale śubhadṛṣṭayute vāhanasukham |

The lord of the 4th strong, and aspected by or joined with benefics — happiness of vehicles.

सुखेशेऽङ्गे सशुक्रे वाहनसुखम् ।

sukheśe'ṅge saśukre vāhanasukham |

The lord of the 4th in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ together with Venus — happiness of vehicles.

सुखेशेऽङ्गे जीवयुते वाहनसुखम् ।

sukheśe'ṅge jīvayute vāhanasukham |

The lord of the 4th in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ joined with Jupiter ⟨jīva⟩ — happiness of vehicles.

चन्द्रेज्यशुक्रास्तुर्यपयुता अङ्गे वाहनसुखम् ।

candrejyaśukrāsturyapayutā aṅge vāhanasukham |

The Moon, Jupiter ⟨ijyā⟩ and Venus, joined with the lord of the 4th ⟨turya⟩, in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ — happiness of vehicles.

धर्मपयुतेऽम्बुपे सबले जीवदृष्टयुते वाहनसुखम् ।

dharmapayute'mbupe sabale jīvadṛṣṭayute vāhanasukham |

The lord of the 4th ⟨ambu⟩, joined with the lord of the 9th, strong, and aspected by or joined with Jupiter ⟨jīva⟩ — happiness of vehicles.

भाग्येशाल्लाभेशेंशे सुखेशे धर्मे वाहनसुखम् ।

bhāgyeśāllābheśeṃśe sukheśe dharme vāhanasukham |

⟨Counted⟩ from the lord of the 9th ⟨bhāgya⟩, the lord of the 11th ⟨lābha⟩ standing in the aṃśa ⟨the kārakāṃśa, as at 18.1⟩, and the lord of the 4th in the 9th ⟨dharma⟩ — happiness of vehicles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: PARTIAL — one clause is not constituted. The OCR prints भाग्येशाल्लाभेर्शेशे; -र्शेशे is not a recoverable Sanskrit form and no emendation is offered here. What IS secure: the reckoning runs from the lord of the 9th, the 11th is the place counted to, the lord of the 4th is in the 9th, and the apodosis is वाहनसुखम्. The 1941 edition's facing English reads the doubtful clause as the lord of the 11th counted from the lord of the 9th standing in the Ātmakāraka's navāṃśa — the kārakāṃśa. That is REPORTED as the edition's claim, not adopted: no legible akṣara in this OCR supports a word of that length or shape. This one belongs on the plates. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भाग्येशाल्लाभेशेंशे; this sentence names भाग्येशाल्लाभेर्शेशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-23: the plate settles the clause. Read by eye at about 2.3x to 7.0x native, the 1941 exemplar (jt-sastri-english, PDF p.320, folio 312, line 27) sets भाग्येशाल्लाभेशेंशे. The mark over the first श is a separate anusvāra dot beside the e-mātrā, not a repha: measured against the repha of धर्मे on the same line. So the clause is लाभेशे + अंशे, the lord of the 11th in the aṃśa, and the mūla now reads so. The letters bear out the edition's reading of the clause, which this note reported and did not adopt.]

सुखपे केन्द्रे तदीशेऽङ्गे वाहनसुखम् ।

sukhape kendre tadīśe'ṅge vāhanasukham |

The lord of the 4th in a kendra and the lord of that ⟨sign⟩ in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ — happiness of vehicles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: तदीश = 'the lord of that', i.e. of the kendra rāśi the 4th lord occupies; the referent word is supplied.

खे लग्नेशे खेशेऽङ्गे वाहनसुखम् ।

khe lagneśe kheśe'ṅge vāhanasukham |

The lord of the lagna in the 10th ⟨kha⟩ and the lord of the 10th in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩ — happiness of vehicles.

धनेशेङ्गे कर्मेशेऽर्थे तुङ्गगे कस्मिंश्चिद्ग्रहे वाहनसुखम् ।

dhaneśeṅge karmeśe'rthe tuṅgage kasmiṃścidgrahe vāhanasukham |

The lord of the 2nd in the lagna ⟨aṅga⟩, the lord of the 10th in the 2nd ⟨artha⟩, and some graha or other gone to exaltation — happiness of vehicles.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: the mūla prints गहे for ग्रहे (grahe) — a dropped र — and धनेशेङ्गे without the avagraha of धनेशेऽङ्गे. Neither touches the sense. कस्मिंश्चिद् ग्रहे is deliberately indefinite: ANY graha in exaltation satisfies the third condition, and the rendering keeps that looseness rather than naming one. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads कस्मिंश्चिद्ग्रहे; this sentence names गहे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सुखेशे ऐरावते गजवाहनम् ।

sukheśe airāvate gajavāhanam |

The lord of the 4th in Airāvata ⟨the Airāvatāṃśa⟩ — an elephant for a vehicle.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ऐरावत is a named varga dignity in this book's scheme, not a place-name: elsewhere in the same printing the facing English reads 'the lord of the 2nd house, an Iravatamsa'. Airāvata being Indra's elephant, the sūtra's apodosis (gaja-vāhana) turns on the name itself.

सुखेशे केन्द्रे वैशेषिके वा लाभपे गोपुरे गजवाहनम् ।

sukheśe kendre vaiśeṣike vā lābhape gopure gajavāhanam |

The lord of the 4th in a kendra, or in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, and the lord of the 11th in Gopura ⟨the Gopurāṃśa⟩ — an elephant for a vehicle.

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: “॥ इत्येकादशविवेकः ॥”
  • About this edition: The 1941 edition's facing English confirms the reading on the claim: it makes the lord of the 4th attain a vaiśeṣikāṃśa and the lord of the 11th a gopurāṃśa, and gives the native elephants to travel on. Compared on that claim, not on its wording. The unnumbered colophon that follows (॥ इत्येकादशविवेकः ॥, 'thus ends the eleventh viveka') is not a sūtra and is not rendered; the edition ends the section and heads the next as the twelfth viveka — which confirms that this letter P is the ELEVENTH viveka of the Prakīrṇa tattva while carrying chapter number 16 as the letter's place in the alphabet.

Adhyāya 17 · Q. अथद्वादशविवेकः

षष्ठेऽष्टमे चन्द्रे द्यूने मन्दे सर्वहानिः ।

ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame candre dyūne mande sarvahāniḥ |

The Moon in the 6th or the 8th, ⟨and⟩ Saturn (manda) in the 7th (dyūna) — loss of everything.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dyūna is this text's name for the 7th house; sarvahāni is 'loss of everything', not merely 'great loss'.

व्यये पापदृष्ट्याधिक्ये धनहानिः पदे पदे ।

vyaye pāpadṛṣṭyādhikye dhanahāniḥ pade pade |

⟨When⟩ malefic aspect on the 12th is in excess — loss of wealth at every step.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pāpa-dṛṣṭy-ādhikye: the excess is of malefic aspect, not of malefics posited there. pade pade is literally 'at step after step'.

मीनांशे त्यागी ।

mīnāṃśe tyāgī |

In the Pisces aṃśa — ⟨he is⟩ one who gives away ⟨what he has⟩.

  • About this edition: SOURCE MARKUP DEFECT, recovered: in the e-text this sūtra's opening does not match the shape the other 2,269 use — the number is typed with the Latin digit '3' instead of a Devanāgarī numeral. The aphorism itself is complete and its number legible, so nothing was emended; this is recorded only so that a reader comparing our text against the file is not left to work out why that line looked different. A parse that required the tidy shape would have dropped this sūtra and left a hole indistinguishable from a number the edition never printed.
  • About this edition: Two things are undecidable here and both are left open. (a) tyāgin holds both 'a liberal giver, one who parts with his wealth' and 'a renouncer, one who gives up the world'; the Hindi त्यागी keeps both, the English resolves only as far as 'gives away'. (b) The sūtra names no subject — whose Pisces aṃśa is meant carries over from the preceding aphorism (the 12th and its lord), and is not stated. The edition's markup defect on this sūtra's number (Latin '3' for the Devanāgarī numeral) is a typesetting matter and does not touch the text.

शुभेऽङ्गे धर्मपे पापांशे वा पापषष्ट्यंशे दम्भाद्धर्मपरिग्रहः।

śubhe'ṅge dharmape pāpāṃśe vā pāpaṣaṣṭyaṃśe dambhāddharmaparigrahaḥ|

A benefic in the 1st house (aṅga) ⟨and⟩ the lord of the 9th in a malefic aṃśa or in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa — the taking up of religion out of hypocrisy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dambhāt is 'out of hypocrisy / for show', and stands as written; dharma-parigraha is the taking up or embracing of religious observance, not the practice of it.

धर्मपे स्वोच्चे शुभदृष्टे दानशीलः ।

dharmape svocce śubhadṛṣṭe dānaśīlaḥ |

The lord of the 9th in its own exaltation and aspected by a benefic — ⟨he is⟩ given to charity.

धर्मे शुभदृष्टयुते दानशीलः ।

dharme śubhadṛṣṭayute dānaśīlaḥ |

The 9th aspected by and joined with a benefic — ⟨he is⟩ given to charity.

धर्मपे पारावतादौ गुरुदृष्टे लग्नपे भृगुदृष्टे दानशीलः ।

dharmape pārāvatādau gurudṛṣṭe lagnape bhṛgudṛṣṭe dānaśīlaḥ |

The lord of the 9th in Pārāvata ⟨aṃśa⟩ and the rest and aspected by Jupiter, the lord of the lagna aspected by Venus (bhṛgu) — ⟨he is⟩ given to charity.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: pārāvatādau: Pārāvata is one of the named varga-strength grades of the daśavarga scheme; 'and the rest' (ādi) means the grades above it, so the condition is Pārāvata or better.

लग्ने धर्मपदृष्टे लग्नपे केन्द्रे महादानशीलः ।

lagne dharmapadṛṣṭe lagnape kendre mahādānaśīlaḥ |

The lagna aspected by the lord of the 9th, the lord of the lagna in a kendra — ⟨he is⟩ given to great charity.

दानेशे सिंहासने खाङ्गपदृष्टे महादानशीलः ।

dāneśe siṃhāsane khāṅgapadṛṣṭe mahādānaśīlaḥ |

The lord of ⟨the house of⟩ giving in Siṃhāsana ⟨aṃśa⟩, aspected by the lords of the 10th (kha) and the 1st (aṅga) — ⟨he is⟩ given to great charity.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dāneśa, 'lord of dāna', is taken as the lord of the 9th — the house this whole run of sūtras is about — and not the 12th, because sūtra 10 names dānapa and vyayeśa side by side in one condition and so keeps them distinct. khāṅgapa is resolved as kha-aṅga-pa, the lords of the 10th and the 1st.

दानपेऽम्बुगे खपे केन्द्रे व्ययेशे गुरुदृष्टे महादानशीलः ।

dānape'mbuge khape kendre vyayeśe gurudṛṣṭe mahādānaśīlaḥ |

The lord of ⟨the house of⟩ giving in the 4th (ambu), the lord of the 10th (kha) in a kendra, the lord of the 12th aspected by Jupiter — ⟨he is⟩ given to great charity.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ambuga, 'water-gone', is the 4th house.

स्वोच्चगे ज्ञे धर्मपदृष्टे लाभे केन्द्रे महादानशीलः ।

svoccage jñe dharmapadṛṣṭe lābhe kendre mahādānaśīlaḥ |

Mercury (jña) in its own exaltation and aspected by the lord of the 9th, ⟨placed⟩ in the 11th (lābha) or in a kendra — ⟨he is⟩ given to great charity.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: lābhe kendre are two bare locatives with nothing joining them; they are read as alternative placements of the exalted Mercury. A reading that makes them two separate conditions (the 11th occupied, and something in a kendra) is not excluded by the Sanskrit.

सबलेऽङ्गपे लाभे धर्मकर्मपदृष्टे दानप्राप्तिः ।

sabale'ṅgape lābhe dharmakarmapadṛṣṭe dānaprāptiḥ |

The lord of the 1st house (aṅga), strong, in the 11th (lābha), aspected by the lords of the 9th and the 10th — the obtaining of gifts.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dāna-prāpti is 'the getting of gifts'. The run before this said dānaśīla, 'given to giving'; this and the next two say prāpti, receiving. The Hindi दान की प्राप्ति keeps the same two-way sense the Sanskrit has (gifts received, or the coming-about of giving).

सुतपेऽङ्के धर्मपे कर्मगे लग्नपदृष्टे दानप्राप्तिः ।

sutape'ṅke dharmape karmage lagnapadṛṣṭe dānaprāptiḥ |

The lord of the 5th in the aṅka, the lord of the 9th in the 10th, aspected by the lord of the lagna — the obtaining of gifts.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅke has no established sense as a place in a chart, and the edition's Devanāgarī errs at the akṣara level. It stands one akṣara from aṅge, 'in the 1st house', which is the term this very chapter uses at sūtras 4, 26 and 30 and which would give a normal condition. It is left exactly as printed and untranslated; the reader should treat the placement of the 5th lord in this sūtra as unsettled until the 1941 plates are read.

धर्मपे खपदृष्टे केन्द्रकोणे दानप्राप्तिः ।

dharmape khapadṛṣṭe kendrakoṇe dānaprāptiḥ |

The lord of the 9th aspected by the lord of the 10th (kha) and ⟨placed⟩ in a kendra or a trikoṇa — the obtaining of gifts.

धर्मेशे सशुभे शुभांशे धर्मे दृढबुद्धिः।

dharmeśe saśubhe śubhāṃśe dharme dṛḍhabuddhiḥ|

The lord of the 9th together with a benefic and in a benefic aṃśa — firm of mind in dharma.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: In dharme dṛḍhabuddhiḥ, dharma is the moral sense — religious duty — not the 9th house, although the same word names the house earlier in the same sūtra.

धर्मपे वैशेषिके धर्मे दृढबुद्धिः।

dharmape vaiśeṣike dharme dṛḍhabuddhiḥ|

The lord of the 9th in Vaiśeṣika ⟨aṃśa⟩ — firm of mind in dharma.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vaiśeṣika: the vaiśeṣikāṃśa, the topmost of the named varga-strength grades.

धर्मपे शुभषष्ट्यंशे धर्मे दृढबुद्धिः ।

dharmape śubhaṣaṣṭyaṃśe dharme dṛḍhabuddhiḥ |

The lord of the 9th in a benefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa — firm of mind in dharma.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The edition prints धर्म without its locative ending, where sūtras 15 and 16 both print धर्मे. Read as dharme; the sense is not in doubt and nothing was emended in the text. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads धर्मे दृढबुद्धिः for धर्म दृढबुद्धिः, corrected on the lexicon on 2026-09-20 on sūtras 15 and 16; the locative is now in the text, so 'nothing was emended' is superseded.]

शुक्रेज्यौ धने धनेशे वैशेषिकेऽन्नदाता।

śukrejyau dhane dhaneśe vaiśeṣike'nnadātā|

Venus and Jupiter (ijya) in the 2nd, the lord of the 2nd in Vaiśeṣika ⟨aṃśa⟩ — a giver of food.

सबले धनपे केन्द्रोपचये बलिशुभैर्दृष्टेऽन्नदाता ।

sabale dhanape kendropacaye baliśubhairdṛṣṭe'nnadātā |

The lord of the 2nd, strong, in a kendra or an upacaya, aspected by strong benefics — a giver of food.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed baliśubhaidṛṣṭe is one akṣara off baliśubhair dṛṣṭe, 'aspected by strong benefics', which is how it is read; the instrumental plural is what the sandhi requires. upacaya is the growth-houses 3, 6, 10 and 11. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads बलिशुभैर्दृष्टेऽन्नदाता; this sentence names baliśubhaidṛṣṭe, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

व्यये शुभे सद्व्ययोऽशुभेऽसद्व्ययो मिश्रे मिश्रः।

vyaye śubhe sadvyayo'śubhe'sadvyayo miśre miśraḥ|

A benefic in the 12th — expenditure on worthy ⟨objects⟩; an inauspicious ⟨graha⟩ — expenditure on unworthy ⟨ones⟩; mixed ⟨grahas⟩ — ⟨expenditure⟩ mixed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two readings carry this sūtra and both are the editor's OCR, not the text. सब्द्ययो / असब्द्ययो is read as सद्व्ययो / असद्व्ययो (sad-vyaya / asad-vyaya, spending on worthy and on unworthy objects) — the conjunct is transposed, and no word sabdyaya exists. मित्रः, 'a friend', is read as मिश्रः, 'mixed', one akṣara away and what the three-limbed parallel (śubha / aśubha / miśra) demands; taking mitraḥ as printed would leave the third limb with no predicate at all. If the plates read otherwise, this rendering must go. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सद्व्ययोऽशुभेऽसद्व्ययो and मिश्रः; this sentence names सब्द्ययो and मित्रः, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

व्यये रविराहुशुक्रयोगे राजमूलो व्ययः ।

vyaye ravirāhuśukrayoge rājamūlo vyayaḥ |

The Sun, Rāhu and Venus conjoined in the 12th — expenditure whose root is the king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: rājamūla is 'having the king as its root' — the outlay is caused by the ruler, which in practice means the state; the text says king and is left saying it.

जीवेऽन्त्ये करव्याजेन व्ययः ।

jīve'ntye karavyājena vyayaḥ |

Jupiter (jīva) in the 12th (antya) — expenditure on the pretext of taxes.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kara-vyājena: vyāja is 'pretext, pretence', so the outlay goes out under the name of a levy.

क्षीणेन्दुसूर्यौ व्यये राजा द्रव्यं हरेत् ।

kṣīṇendusūryau vyaye rājā dravyaṃ haret |

The waning Moon and the Sun in the 12th — the king will carry off ⟨his⟩ wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: haret is an optative with the king as agent: the seizure is his act, not a passive loss.

व्यये शुभे धनसञ्चयसंस्था।

vyaye śubhe dhanasañcayasaṃsthā|

A benefic in the 12th — ⟨his⟩ standing is the accumulation of wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dhana-sañcaya-saṃsthā: saṃsthā is a settled state or standing, so the sense is that hoarding, not spending, is where he stands. Sūtra 20 gives the benefic in the 12th a different consequence (worthy expenditure); the two are left as the edition has them.

अन्त्ये मन्दारौ भ्रातृद्वारा व्ययः ।

antye mandārau bhrātṛdvārā vyayaḥ |

Saturn (manda) and Mars (āra) in the 12th (antya) — expenditure through a brother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bhrātṛ-dvārā is 'by the door of a brother' — the brother is the channel of the outlay.

धने पापे व्ययेऽङ्गेशे खेशे लाभपयुतदृष्टे ऋणग्रस्तः ।

dhane pāpe vyaye'ṅgeśe kheśe lābhapayutadṛṣṭe ṛṇagrastaḥ |

A malefic in the 2nd, the lord of the 1st house (aṅga) in the 12th, the lord of the 10th (kha) joined with and aspected by the lord of the 11th — he is seized by debt.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ṛṇagrasta is 'gripped by debt' — grasta is the word used of an eclipsed body; nothing softer is meant.

सपापे धनेशे मूढे धनरन्ध्रे ऋणग्रस्तः ।

sapāpe dhaneśe mūḍhe dhanarandhre ṛṇagrastaḥ |

The lord of the 2nd, with a malefic and combust (mūḍha), in the 2nd or the 8th (randhra) — he is seized by debt.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mūḍha here is the technical 'combust', a graha lost in the Sun's rays, and not 'stupefied'. dhana-randhre is a dvandva locative: either the 2nd or the 8th.

नीचेऽर्थेशे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे तथा लाभेशे ऋणग्रस्तः ।

nīce'rtheśe krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe tathā lābheśe ṛṇagrastaḥ |

The lord of the 2nd (artha) debilitated and in a malefic (krūra) ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, and likewise the lord of the 11th — he is seized by debt.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: tathā carries the whole condition — debilitated and in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa — over to the 11th lord as well.

सपापलग्नपस्त्रिकेशयुतदृष्टः ऋणग्रस्तः ।

sapāpalagnapastrikeśayutadṛṣṭaḥ ṛṇagrastaḥ |

Joined with and aspected by the lord of the lagna in company with a malefic and by the lord of ⟨a⟩ trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — he is seized by debt.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed स्रिकेश is not a Sanskrit word. It is read as त्रिकेश, the lord of a trika house (6th, 8th, 12th) — one akṣara away, and the only candidate that suits a debt sūtra — but the reading is ours and not the edition's, and the 1941 plates must settle it. The rest of the aphorism is clear; what is uncertain is which lord joins the lagna-lord. The sūtra also names no subject for the conjunction and aspect: the compound is nominative and agrees with ṛṇagrastaḥ, so the native's own chart is meant, with the aspected place unstated. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सपापलग्नपस्त्रिकेशयुतदृष्टः; this sentence names स्रिकेश, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

पुत्रपेऽङ्गे शुभादृष्टे ऋणग्रस्तः ।

putrape'ṅge śubhādṛṣṭe ṛṇagrastaḥ |

The lord of the 5th in the 1st house (aṅga), unaspected by benefics — he is seized by debt.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: śubhādṛṣṭe is śubha + adṛṣṭe, 'not aspected by benefics' — a negative condition, not an aspect by benefics.

लाभेशांशेशे शुभयुते त्रिके क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे ऋणग्रस्तः ।

lābheśāṃśeśe śubhayute trike krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe ṛṇagrastaḥ |

⟨When⟩ the navāṃśa lord of the lord of the 11th (lābha) is joined with a benefic, stands in a trika — the 6th, 8th or 12th — and falls in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, ⟨the native is⟩ seized by debt.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sūtra names its subject in the locative and then piles further locatives on it (śubhayute — trike — krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśe); sūtra 32 has the same shape. Ṣaṣṭyaṃśa is the sixtieth part, whose sixty named divisions the printing lists at A.22, each classed benefic or malefic; krūra here names that class, not a graha.

लग्नपे मूढारिनीचत्रिके मारकेशयुते भाग्यपे शुभैरदृष्टे नरेशोऽपि ऋणग्रस्तः ।

lagnape mūḍhārinīcatrike mārakeśayute bhāgyape śubhairadṛṣṭe nareśo'pi ṛṇagrastaḥ |

⟨When the lord of⟩ the lagna is combust (mūḍha), in an enemy's sign (ari), debilitated or in a trika, and is joined with the lord of a māraka ⟨house⟩, and the lord of the 9th (bhāgya) is unaspected by benefics — even a king ⟨a lord of men⟩ is seized by debt.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printing reads लग्नये, which is no grammatical form. The sūtra pattern (a graha named in the locative, then locative predicates — compare 31 and 34) and mārakeśayute both require a graha as subject, and लग्नपे / लग्नेशे 'the lord of the lagna' is one akṣara from what is printed; that is the reading followed, and it is not settled off the plate. अरि is taken as an inimical sign, standing with mūḍha and nīca as a condition of dignity; read as the house it would be the 6th, which त्रिक in the same list already covers. [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.]

धनायेशयोस्त्र्यंशेशेशस्यांशेशौ वैशेषिकांशे केन्द्रकोणे ऋणदाता ।

dhanāyeśayostryaṃśeśeśasyāṃśeśau vaiśeṣikāṃśe kendrakoṇe ṛṇadātā |

⟨When⟩ the two navāṃśa lords of the lord of the drekkāṇa lord (tryaṃśeśa) of the lords of the 2nd (dhana) and the 11th (āya) are in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa and in a kendra or a trikoṇa — ⟨the native is⟩ a giver of loans.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The reference chains four deep — the 2nd and 11th lords, their tryaṃśa (drekkāṇa) lord, that lord's lord, and its navāṃśa lord — and the dual aṃśeśau is what carries the two chains, one from each of the two house-lords; the genitive singular tryaṃśeśeśasya is distributive across them, which is loose but is what the printing gives. Vaiśeṣikāṃśa is the dignity a graha holds by occupying its own, exalted or friendly division in several vargas at once, counted up in the ṣoḍaśavarga scheme.

लग्नेशांशेशो मृद्वंशादौ जीवदृष्टः ऋणदाता ।

lagneśāṃśeśo mṛdvaṃśādau jīvadṛṣṭaḥ ṛṇadātā |

⟨When⟩ the navāṃśa lord of the lord of the lagna is in the mṛdu aṃśa or the like and is aspected by Jupiter (jīva) — ⟨the native is⟩ a giver of loans.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Mṛdu is one of the sixty ṣaṣṭyaṃśas named at A.22 and a benefic one, and आदि ('and the like') extends it to the benefic sixtieth-parts as a class — the exact counterpart of the malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa of sūtra 31, which is why it is read as the division-name rather than as the plain adjective 'gentle'.

व्ययत्रिकोणार्थगेषु पापेषु बन्धनम् ।

vyayatrikoṇārthageṣu pāpeṣu bandhanam |

⟨When⟩ malefics are in the 12th (vyaya), in a trikoṇa and in the 2nd (artha) — ⟨there is⟩ bondage.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: This is the general rule the next four sūtras specialise: 12th + trikoṇa + 2nd is the same set of houses that 37–40 spell out as the 2nd, 12th, aṅka and suta.

स्वान्त्ययोः सुताङ्कयोः षष्ठान्त्ययोः सोत्थाययोश्चतुर्थदशमयोर्वा ग्रहसाम्ये बन्धनम् ।

svāntyayoḥ sutāṅkayoḥ ṣaṣṭhāntyayoḥ sotthāyayoścaturthadaśamayorvā grahasāmye bandhanam |

⟨When⟩ the grahas are equal ⟨in number⟩ in the 2nd (sva) and the 12th (antya), or in the 5th (suta) and the 9th (aṅka), or in the 6th and the 12th, or in the 3rd (sottha) and the 11th (āya), or in the 4th and the 10th — ⟨there is⟩ bondage.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08. सोत्थाययोः is sottha + āya — the 3rd and the 11th. The earlier note said 'सोत्थाययोः cannot be resolved in this OCR' and proposed सप्ताययोः; the word needed no resolving. 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. The rest of that note stands and is good work: अङ्क is the number-word for nine, and पष्ठ is the OCR's misprint for षष्ठ. 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. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads षष्ठान्त्ययोः; this sentence names पष्ठ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

वृषाजहयोदये पापा द्व्यन्त्याङ्कसुतगाः रज्जुबन्धनम् ।

vṛṣājahayodaye pāpā dvyantyāṅkasutagāḥ rajjubandhanam |

⟨When⟩ Taurus, Aries (aja) or Sagittarius (haya) rises and malefics occupy the 2nd, the 12th, the 9th (aṅka) and the 5th (suta) — ⟨there is⟩ bondage by rope.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: व्द्यन्त्याङ्कसुत is the OCR's व्द्य for द्व्य (dvi-antya-aṅka-suta), the same misprint in 38, 39 and 40. Sign-classes drive 37–40: the quadruped signs give rope, the burrowing sign an underground cell, the biped signs iron, the watery signs a fort. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads द्व्यन्त्याङ्कसुतगाः; this sentence names व्द्यन्त्याङ्कसुत, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

वृश्चिकोदये द्व्यन्त्याङ्कसुतगाः पापाः भूगृहे बन्धनम् ।

vṛścikodaye dvyantyāṅkasutagāḥ pāpāḥ bhūgṛhe bandhanam |

⟨When⟩ Scorpio rises and malefics occupy the 2nd, the 12th, the 9th and the 5th — ⟨there is⟩ confinement in an underground chamber (bhūgṛha).

युग्मतुलाजकन्योदये द्व्यन्त्याङ्कपुत्रगाः पापा निगडबन्धनम् ।

yugmatulājakanyodaye dvyantyāṅkaputragāḥ pāpā nigaḍabandhanam |

⟨When⟩ Gemini, Libra, Aries (aja) or Virgo rises and malefics occupy the 2nd, the 12th, the 9th and the 5th (putra) — ⟨there is⟩ bondage in fetters.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The ज of युग्मतुलाजकन्योदये is doubtful and the rendering above only reports what is printed. Split as aja it gives Aries — but Aries is already assigned rope-bondage in 37, and the other three here (Gemini, Libra, Virgo) are the biped signs, whose missing fourth is घट Aquarius; घट reduced to ज would complete the class and remove the contradiction. Leo and Aquarius are the only two signs 37–40 never name, which is itself evidence of loss. Not settled off the plate; do not seat a claim on 'Aries' here.

झषकर्कमृगोदये द्व्यन्त्याङ्कसुतगाः पापा दुर्गप्रवेशो निगडरहितः।

jhaṣakarkamṛgodaye dvyantyāṅkasutagāḥ pāpā durgapraveśo nigaḍarahitaḥ|

⟨When⟩ Pisces (jhaṣa), Cancer or Capricorn (mṛga) rises and malefics occupy the 2nd, the 12th, the 9th and the 5th — ⟨there is⟩ entry into a fortress, without fetters.

लग्नारीशौ समन्दौ केन्द्रे कोणे बन्धनम् ।

lagnārīśau samandau kendre koṇe bandhanam |

⟨When⟩ the lords of the lagna and of the 6th (ari), together with Saturn (manda), are in a kendra ⟨or⟩ in a trikoṇa — ⟨there is⟩ bondage.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अरि is the 6th house here, not the enemy as a person: the sūtra pairs it with the lagna as a house-lord.

योगकर्तृषु योऽधिकबलस्तदीयदशान्तर्दशायां परिपाकः ।

yogakartṛṣu yo'dhikabalastadīyadaśāntardaśāyāṃ paripākaḥ |

Among the grahas that make the yoga, whichever has the greater strength — in its daśā and antardaśā ⟨the yoga⟩ comes to full ripening.

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 द्वादशविवेकः ॥”
  • About this edition: The closing sūtra of the viveka, governing every yoga stated in it — debt, lending and bondage alike. The printing follows it with the colophon इति द्वादशविवेकः, which carries no number and is not a sūtra.

Adhyāya 18 · R. अथमिश्रविवेकः

aṃśe bhaume dhātuvādī kauntiko vahnijīvī ca |

Mars (bhauma) in the aṃśa ⟨the kārakāṃśa⟩ — an alchemist ⟨a dealer in metals and minerals⟩, a lancer, and one who lives by fire.

  • About this edition: The mūla says only अंशे, 'in the aṃśa'. The edition's own facing English glosses it as the navāṃśa occupied by the Ātmakāraka, i.e. the kārakāṃśa; sūtra 27 below (अंशाद्धर्मे, 'the 9th from the aṃśa') is the Jaimini kārakāṃśa idiom and supports that reading, so the gloss is supplied in ⟨⟩ and not asserted as the text's word. धातुवादिन् is one who practises dhātuvāda — metallurgy/alchemy; कौन्तिक is from कुन्त, a spear.

सुतपस्त्रिके वाग्धीनो विद्याहीनश्च ।

sutapastrike vāgdhīno vidyāhīnaśca |

The lord of the 5th in a trika house ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — devoid of speech and devoid of learning.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: त्रिक here is the duḥsthāna triad 6/8/12, as the edition's own English confirms; it is not the 3rd house.

सुतेशो ज्ञेज्ययुतस्त्रिके वाग्विद्याप्रबन्धहीनः ।

suteśo jñejyayutastrike vāgvidyāprabandhahīnaḥ |

The lord of the 5th, joined with Mercury (jña) and Jupiter (ijya), in a trika house ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩ — devoid of speech, of learning, and of literary composition.

द्यूनेऽङ्गेशे भार्या न जीवति वा विरक्तः।

dyūne'ṅgeśe bhāryā na jīvati vā viraktaḥ|

The lord of the lagna (aṅgeśa) in the 7th (dyūna) — the wife does not live, or ⟨he becomes⟩ detached.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: विरक्त is left two-way, as the Sanskrit leaves it: detachment from the world, or estrangement from the wife. The Hindi विरक्त holds both; English had to pick a word, and 'detached' was chosen as the least resolving.

लग्नेशेऽङ्के भाग्यवान् वैष्णवः पटुश्च ।

lagneśe'ṅke bhāgyavān vaiṣṇavaḥ paṭuśca |

The lord of the lagna in the aṅka ⟨the 9th⟩ — fortunate, a Vaiṣṇava, and able.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्क is the number-word for nine (the nine digits) and is this text's regular name for the 9th house — settled by its own sūtra G.84, लग्नेशेऽङ्केऽङ्केशेऽङ्गे भाग्यवान्, an exchange between the 1st and the 9th.

लग्नेशः षष्ठे षष्ठेशेऽङ्गे व्याधिहीनः शूरो बलवांश्च ।

lagneśaḥ ṣaṣṭhe ṣaṣṭheśe'ṅge vyādhihīnaḥ śūro balavāṃśca |

The lord of the lagna in the 6th and the lord of the 6th in the lagna (aṅga) — free from disease, brave, and strong.

सप्तमेऽङ्गेशे सप्तमेशे लग्ने तातसेवी श्यालकसेवी च ।

saptame'ṅgeśe saptameśe lagne tātasevī śyālakasevī ca |

The lord of the lagna in the 7th and the lord of the 7th in the lagna — he serves his father and serves his wife's brother.

सुतपेऽङ्गेऽङ्गेशे सुते मनस्वी विद्वान् मानी च ।

sutape'ṅge'ṅgeśe sute manasvī vidvān mānī ca |

The lord of the 5th in the lagna (aṅga) and the lord of the lagna in the 5th — high-minded, learned, and self-respecting.

रन्ध्रे लग्नेशे लग्ने रन्ध्रेशे द्यूतकारी शूरश्चौर्यादिरतश्च ।

randhre lagneśe lagne randhreśe dyūtakārī śūraścauryādirataśca |

The lord of the lagna in the 8th (randhra) and the lord of the 8th in the lagna — a gambler, bold, and given to theft and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: चौर्यादिरत is 'given to theft and the like'. The edition's facing English softens this to 'engaged in trickery'; the Sanskrit says चौर्य, theft, and is rendered at its weight here.

धर्मेशेऽङ्गेऽङ्गेशे धर्मे विदेशी धर्मशीलो राजमान्यश्च ।

dharmeśe'ṅge'ṅgeśe dharme videśī dharmaśīlo rājamānyaśca |

The lord of the 9th (dharma) in the lagna (aṅga) and the lord of the lagna in the 9th — living abroad, righteous in conduct, and honoured by the king.

लग्नेशे लाभे लाभपेऽङ्गे सुकर्मा दीर्घायुर्भूपतिः कोविदश्च ।

lagneśe lābhe lābhape'ṅge sukarmā dīrghāyurbhūpatiḥ kovidaśca |

The lord of the lagna in the 11th (lābha) and the lord of the 11th in the lagna (aṅga) — of good deeds, long-lived, a ruler of the earth, and learned.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints लगेशे; this is the OCR's dropped conjunct for लग्नेशे, 'the lord of the lagna' — the sūtra's own second half (लाभपेऽङ्गे) requires the lagna lord as the first term. Not repaired in the source, flagged here. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads लग्नेशे; this sentence names लगेशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

लग्नेशेऽन्त्येऽन्त्येशे लग्ने सर्वशत्रुर्बुद्धिहीनः कृपणश्च ।

lagneśe'ntye'ntyeśe lagne sarvaśatrurbuddhihīnaḥ kṛpaṇaśca |

The lord of the lagna in the 12th (antya) and the lord of the 12th in the lagna — everyone his enemy, devoid of intelligence, and miserly.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सर्वशत्रु is a bahuvrīhi and stays two-way in the Hindi (सर्वशत्रु): 'one whose enemies are all' — hated by everyone — or 'hostile to all'. The English 'everyone his enemy' keeps the first, which the compound favours.

धनेशेऽङ्गेऽङ्गेशे धने धनी मानी गुणी दानी च ।

dhaneśe'ṅge'ṅgeśe dhane dhanī mānī guṇī dānī ca |

The lord of the 2nd (dhana) in the lagna (aṅga) and the lord of the lagna in the 2nd — wealthy, self-respecting, endowed with good qualities, and generous.

लग्नेशे सोत्थे षष्ठे विक्रमी मानी दयावांश्च ।

lagneśe sotthe ṣaṣṭhe vikramī mānī dayāvāṃśca |

The lord of the lagna in the sottha ⟨the 3rd⟩ or in the 6th — valorous, self-respecting, and compassionate.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सोत्थ is this text's own name for the 3rd house, fixed by its bhāva enumeration at sūtra A.8: देहधनसोत्थमात्रात्मजारित्रीमृतिधर्मकर्मलाभव्यया लग्नाद्भावाः — deha (1), dhana (2), sottha (3), mātṛ (4), ātmaja (5), ari (6), strī (7), mṛti (8), dharma (9), karma (10), lābha (11), vyaya (12). It is not OCR damage. The two locatives सोत्थे षष्ठे are alternatives, not a single position.

खाम्बुगेऽङ्गेशे कामी सुखी च ।

khāmbuge'ṅgeśe kāmī sukhī ca |

The lord of the lagna placed in kha ⟨the 10th⟩ or ambu ⟨the 4th⟩ — lustful and happy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: खाम्बुग is a dvandva, kha (sky, the 10th) + ambu (water, the 4th), with -ga 'situated in'; the two are alternatives, since one graha cannot occupy both.

अन्त्येऽर्थेशे मानी धनहीनश्च ।

antye'rtheśe mānī dhanahīnaśca |

The lord of the 2nd (artha) in the 12th (antya) — self-respecting and devoid of wealth.

18.17a reading here is contested

सजीवे सोत्थपे धीरः शास्त्रविशारदश्च ।

sajīve sotthape dhīraḥ śāstraviśāradaśca |

The lord of the 3rd (sotthapa) joined with Jupiter (jīva) — ⟨the native is⟩ steadfast, and accomplished in the śāstras.

3 notes on this verse
  • What the page would not yield: NUMBER REPEATED IN THIS SECTION, and not corrected. The printing sets the numeral 17 on two sūtras of section R; this is the one at position 17 of 99. The section correspondingly has no sūtra numbered 47. In every such site here the stray numeral differs from the position's own ordinal by a single digit of a shape a scanner confuses, so this is most likely an OCR slip rather than the compositor's error — but nothing here has read the plate, and the printed number is kept either way, because it is the citation form this edition's own English index uses. Settle it against the 1941 plates before relying on either number.
  • About this edition: TWO uncertainties on this sūtra. (1) NUMBER: the printing sets the numeral 17 on two sūtras of section R and has no sūtra numbered 47; this is the one at position 17 of 99. The printed number is kept, because it is the citation form the edition's own English index uses, but it has not been settled against the 1941 plates and either number may be the compositor's or the scanner's. (2) सोत्थप = the lord of the 3rd, from सोत्थ, this text's name for the 3rd house (see the note on sūtra 14). शारद, literally 'autumnal', is used here in its sense 'accomplished, expert'.
  • About this edition: REPAIRED 2026-09-08. Until today this record carried, as its English AND its Hindi, the rendering of a DIFFERENT sūtra — index 46 of this same file, which the printing also numbers 17 (mūla लग्नेऽन्त्येऽर्के चन्द्रे षष्ठे भौमेऽस्ते मातापितृघाती ।) — so the app told a reader that a sūtra about learning means 'a slayer of mother and father'. Seven notes construing index 46's mūla stood here with it and have been removed; index 46 keeps its own. This is the casualty of the cutter/merge defect recorded in research/translations/CORRECTIONS.md as C38: the cause was fixed and the damaged record was never repaired. Construal: sa-jīve sottha-pe — the lord of the 3rd (sottha, see A.8) in company with Jupiter; धीर 'steadfast, resolute'; शारद literally 'autumnal', here in its sense 'accomplished, expert', so śāstra-śārada = versed in the śāstras.

सारे सोत्थपे जडः प्रचण्डः कोपी च ।

sāre sotthape jaḍaḥ pracaṇḍaḥ kopī ca |

The lord of the 3rd (sotthapa) joined with Mars (āra) — dull, vehement, and irascible.

सगुलिके सोत्थपे दृढो जडो धीरश्च ।

sagulike sotthape dṛḍho jaḍo dhīraśca |

The lord of the 3rd (sotthapa) joined with Gulika — firm, dull, and steadfast.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: गुलिक (Gulika) is an upagraha and is kept in its own name. The sūtra pairs जड (dull) with धीर (steady) without embarrassment; both are kept.

अंशे पूर्णेन्दुशुक्रौ भोगी विद्याजीवी च ।

aṃśe pūrṇenduśukrau bhogī vidyājīvī ca |

The full Moon and Venus in the aṃśa ⟨the kārakāṃśa⟩ — an enjoyer of pleasures and one who lives by learning.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints विद्याजीची; this is the OCR's च for व in विद्याजीवी, 'one who lives by learning' — compare वह्निजीवी in sūtra 1 of this same section. Not repaired in the source, flagged here. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads विद्याजीवी; this sentence names विद्याजीची, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

अंशे जीवे धर्मज्ञानी वेदविद्दाता च ।

aṃśe jīve dharmajñānī vedaviddātā ca |

Jupiter (jīva) in the aṃśa ⟨the kārakāṃśa⟩ — a knower of dharma, versed in the Veda, and a giver.

भाग्यपे केन्द्रकोणे शुभयुतदृष्टे धनविद्याभाग्ययुतः ।

bhāgyape kendrakoṇe śubhayutadṛṣṭe dhanavidyābhāgyayutaḥ |

The lord of the 9th (bhāgya) in a kendra or a koṇa (trikoṇa), joined with or aspected by benefics — endowed with wealth, learning, and fortune.

नीचेऽर्के षष्ठेऽष्टमे क्रूरदृष्टे नृपकोपात्पितृमरणं वित्तनाशश्च ।

nīce'rke ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame krūradṛṣṭe nṛpakopātpitṛmaraṇaṃ vittanāśaśca |

The Sun (arka) debilitated, in the 6th or the 8th, aspected by malefics (krūra) — the death of the father through the king's wrath, and destruction of wealth.

सबले भाग्यपे पारावतादौ मानी गुणी धर्मशीलो धनी च।

sabale bhāgyape pārāvatādau mānī guṇī dharmaśīlo dhanī ca|

The lord of the 9th (bhāgya) strong and in Pārāvata or the ⟨grades⟩ that follow it — self-respecting, endowed with good qualities, righteous in conduct, and wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पारावतादौ names a place in this text's own eight-fold ladder of varga-dignity, set out at sūtra A.29: Pārijāta, Uttama, Gopura, Siṃhāsana, Pārāvata, Devaloka, Airāvata, Vaiśeṣika. 'Pārāvata and what follows' therefore means Pārāvata or any grade above it. Also: the mūla prints धर्मशीलौ with a dual ending among four singular adjectives (मानी गुणी … धनी); the reading is धर्मशीलो, as at sūtra 10 of this section. Not repaired in the source, flagged here. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads धर्मशीलो; this sentence names धर्मशीलौ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

खेशेऽङ्केऽङ्केशे सबले शुक्रेज्ययुतदृष्टे जपध्यानसमाधिमान् ।

kheśe'ṅke'ṅkeśe sabale śukrejyayutadṛṣṭe japadhyānasamādhimān |

The lord of the 10th (kha) in the aṅka ⟨the 9th⟩, and the lord of the 9th strong and joined with or aspected by Venus and Jupiter — he is given to japa, dhyāna and samādhi.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुक्रेज्य is a dvandva, Venus and Jupiter. The edition's facing English reads it 'Jupiter or Venus'; the compound itself is 'and', and is left so.

खेशस्यांशेशे सबले खेशेऽङ्के जपध्यानसमाधिमान् ।

kheśasyāṃśeśe sabale kheśe'ṅke japadhyānasamādhimān |

The lord of the aṃśa of the lord of the 10th (kha) being strong, and the lord of the 10th in the aṅka ⟨the 9th⟩ — he is given to japa, dhyāna and samādhi.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints अङके for अङ्के, a dropped virāma in the OCR. Not repaired in the source, flagged here. Note that अंश in this sūtra is the navāṃśa division proper, not the kārakāṃśa of sūtras 1, 20, 21 and 27 — the genitive खेशस्य fixes it: the navāṃśa of the 10th lord. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads खेशेऽङ्के for खेशेऽङके, corrected on the lexicon on 2026-09-20 (D8: without the virāma the form is no word); the defect 'not repaired' here is repaired.]

अंशाद्धर्मे शुभदृष्टयुते धर्मनिरतः सत्यवादी गुरुभक्तश्चान्यथा तु पापदृष्टयुते ।

aṃśāddharme śubhadṛṣṭayute dharmanirataḥ satyavādī gurubhaktaścānyathā tu pāpadṛṣṭayute |

The 9th (dharma) from the aṃśa ⟨the kārakāṃśa⟩ aspected by or joined with benefics — devoted to dharma, truthful, and devoted to his guru; but otherwise when it is aspected by or joined with malefics.

लग्ने पापे शुभादृष्टयुते सन्न्यासी स्त्रीनाशो वा ।

lagne pāpe śubhādṛṣṭayute sannyāsī strīnāśo vā |

A malefic in the lagna, neither aspected by nor joined with benefics — a saṃnyāsin, or the destruction of the wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुभादृष्टयुते is śubha-adṛṣṭa-yuta, the negation carrying over both members: not aspected by and not joined with benefics. स्त्रीनाश is left at its weight — the death of the wife.

व्ययेशेऽङ्गे यात्रावान् धार्मिको धनी ।

vyayeśe'ṅge yātrāvān dhārmiko dhanī |

The lord of the 12th (vyaya) in the lagna (aṅga) — one who makes journeys ⟨pilgrimages⟩, righteous, and wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: यात्रावान् is simply 'having journeys'. The edition's facing English narrows it to visiting holy places; that narrowing is marked as supplied rather than translated.

स्वर्क्षेऽन्त्येशे धनी कृपणो बहुपशुमांश्च ।

svarkṣe'ntyeśe dhanī kṛpaṇo bahupaśumāṃśca |

The lord of the 12th (antya) in its own sign (svarkṣa) — wealthy, miserly, and possessing many cattle.

कर्माङ्गेशावन्योन्यभगौ ख्यातः प्रतापी च ।

karmāṅgeśāvanyonyabhagau khyātaḥ pratāpī ca |

The lords of the 10th (karma) and of the lagna (aṅga) each standing in the other's sign — ⟨the native is⟩ renowned and mighty.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अन्योन्यभगौ = each in the other's sign, i.e. a parivartana of the lagna-lord and the 10th lord; अङ्ग is this text's regular word for the lagna.

दारे कुजे बहुस्त्रीरतः कुलघ्नश्च ।

dāre kuje bahustrīrataḥ kulaghnaśca |

Mars in the 7th (dāra, the wife-house) — ⟨the native is⟩ addicted to many women, and a destroyer of his family.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: दार ('wife') = the 7th house. कुलघ्न is kept at its weight — 'destroyer of his family', not 'harmful to relatives'.

अंशादस्तेऽर्के पतिव्रता विकलाङ्गी स्त्री।

aṃśādaste'rke pativratā vikalāṅgī strī|

The Sun in the 7th (asta, the setting place) counted from the aṃśa ⟨the navāṃśa lagna⟩ — the wife is devoted to her husband ⟨but⟩ deformed in limb.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अंशात् + a house = counted from the navāṃśa lagna, the construction fixed at K.22 (अंशादङ्के, 'in the 9th from the aṃśa'). विकलाङ्गी = a limb DEFORMED, kept distinct from हीनाङ्ग = a limb MISSING (the distinction drawn at C.44). The Sanskrit sets the two predicates side by side without an adversative; the ⟨but⟩ is supplied.

समन्दे ज्ञे परवञ्चनदक्षो गुरुवचनातिक्रामी च ।

samande jñe paravañcanadakṣo guruvacanātikrāmī ca |

Mercury joined with Saturn (manda) — ⟨the native is⟩ adept at deceiving others, and a transgressor of his guru's word.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: समन्दे ज्ञे = Mercury together with Saturn; this opens a run of pair-conjunctions (34–41). गुरु here is the teacher/elder, not Jupiter — Jupiter in this run is इज्य.

शुक्रेज्ययोगे सद्विद्याधनदारगुणयुक्तः।

śukrejyayoge sadvidyādhanadāraguṇayuktaḥ|

In the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter (ijya) — ⟨the native is⟩ endowed with good learning, wealth, a wife and virtues.

ज्ञाच्छयोगे वाग्मी विद्वान् भूपगणपः ।

jñācchayoge vāgmī vidvān bhūpagaṇapaḥ |

In the conjunction of Mercury (jña) and Accha ⟨Venus⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ eloquent, learned, and the head of a king's company.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अच्छ ('the clear/bright one') = Venus in this work — the identification settled on the edition's own facing English at C.244 and C.271. It is corroborated here by the shape of the run: sūtras 34–41 enumerate pair-conjunctions among the five tārāgrahas and give 8 of the 10 possible pairs (only Saturn+Jupiter and Mercury+Mars are absent), which works out only if अच्छ is Venus and not a second name for a graha already named in the run. विद्वान prints for विद्वान्. भूपगणप is read as 'chief of the king's troop/retinue'; 'a king and a chief of a guild' is a possible looser reading of the same compound.

ज्ञेज्ययोगे गीतप्रियो नृत्यविन्मल्लः।

jñejyayoge gītapriyo nṛtyavinmallaḥ|

In the conjunction of Mercury (jña) and Jupiter (ijya) — ⟨the native is⟩ fond of song, skilled in dance, ⟨and⟩ a wrestler.

मन्दारयोगे दुःख्यनृतभाषी निन्दितश्च ।

mandārayoge duḥkhyanṛtabhāṣī ninditaśca |

In the conjunction of Saturn (manda) and Mars (āra) — ⟨the native is⟩ miserable, a speaker of untruth, and despised.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: निन्दित is passive — 'censured, spoken ill of by others' — and is rendered at that weight, not as 'of bad character'.

यमाच्छयोगेऽल्पदृष्टिर्लिपिपुस्तकचित्रवेत्ता।

yamācchayoge'lpadṛṣṭirlipipustakacitravettā|

In the conjunction of Saturn (yama) and Accha ⟨Venus⟩ — ⟨the native is⟩ of weak sight, ⟨and⟩ versed in writing, books and painting.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: दृष्टि here is literal eyesight, not the technical aspect — अल्पदृष्टि = weak-sighted. यम = Saturn (the same graha named मन्द at 34 and 38); on अच्छ = Venus see the note at 36.

शुक्रारयोगे गोपालकमल्लदक्षपराङ्गनागामी ।

śukrārayoge gopālakamalladakṣaparāṅganāgāmī |

In the conjunction of Venus and Mars (āra) — ⟨the native is⟩ skilled as a cowherd and a wrestler, ⟨and⟩ goes to other men's wives.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: गोपालक-मल्ल-दक्ष is read as one compound, दक्ष governing both trades. पराङ्गनागामी is left explicit — 'goes to other men's wives' — and not softened to 'attracted to women'.

आरेज्ययोगे पुराध्यक्षो नृपः प्राप्तविद्यो द्विजः।

ārejyayoge purādhyakṣo nṛpaḥ prāptavidyo dvijaḥ|

In the conjunction of Mars (āra) and Jupiter (ijya) — ⟨the native is⟩ the governor of a city, a king, one who has attained learning, a twice-born.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The four terms stand as an unjoined list in the Sanskrit; whether नृप is a fifth station or an intensifier of पुराध्यक्ष is not marked, and the list form is kept in both languages.

पापा लग्नान्त्यास्तगा सुतस्त्रीनाशकः ॥

pāpā lagnāntyāstagā sutastrīnāśakaḥ ||

Malefics standing in the lagna, the 12th (antya) and the 7th (asta) — ⟨the native is⟩ a destroyer of children and wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अन्त्य ('the last') = the 12th house, अस्त ('the setting place') = the 7th. नाशक is agentive and is kept so — the native destroys them; a passive reading ('loses children and wife') is the softer one and is not what the word says.

मदेऽर्के कुटुम्बी बहुस्त्रीरतः ।

made'rke kuṭumbī bahustrīrataḥ |

The Sun in the 7th (mada) — ⟨the native is⟩ a man of large family, addicted to many women.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मद = the 7th house. कुटुम्बी is 'possessed of a household' — a large family to maintain — and carries no verdict of its own in the Sanskrit.

धर्मेशेऽन्त्येऽन्त्येशेऽर्थे सोत्थे पापे कुभोजी दुष्कर्मान्यगामी।

dharmeśe'ntye'ntyeśe'rthe sotthe pāpe kubhojī duṣkarmānyagāmī|

The lord of the 9th (dharma) in the 12th (antya), the lord of the 12th in the 2nd (artha), and a malefic in the 3rd (sottha) — ⟨the native is⟩ an eater of vile food, a doer of evil deeds, ⟨and⟩ one who goes after others ⟨wives⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सोत्थ = सहोत्थ, 'co-arisen', this text's contraction for the 3rd house (settled at D.48 and E.2, and by the bhāva-list at A.8 where the printing likewise sets सोत्थ for सहोत्थ). अन्यगामी is two-way — 'one who goes to others' wives' (cf. पराङ्गनागामी at 40) or 'one who resorts to / depends on others' (cf. परगृहवासी at 46); English must choose and takes the first, the Hindi keeps अन्यगामी and holds both. A second parse of the locatives is possible — अर्थे सोत्थे as a pair of stations for the 12th lord, leaving पापे as a bare accompanying malefic; the three-condition reading is taken because the sūtras around it chain one placement per clause.

नीचभांशेजीवे जीवांशेऽर्केऽतिदुःखी सुतदारहीनः ।

nīcabhāṃśejīve jīvāṃśe'rke'tiduḥkhī sutadārahīnaḥ |

Jupiter in the navāṃśa of ⟨his⟩ sign of debilitation and the Sun in Jupiter's navāṃśa — ⟨the native is⟩ exceedingly miserable, bereft of children and wife.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नीचभांशे is read as 'in the navāṃśa of the sign of ⟨his own⟩ debilitation'; 'in a debilitated navāṃśa' generally is the looser alternative and would not change the verdict.

राह्वर्कान्यतरयुते षष्ठेशेऽन्त्ये परगृहवासी नीचवृत्तिश्च ।

rāhvarkānyatarayute ṣaṣṭheśe'ntye paragṛhavāsī nīcavṛttiśca |

The lord of the 6th, joined with either Rāhu or the Sun, in the 12th (antya) — ⟨the native⟩ dwells in others' houses and follows a low occupation.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अन्यतर = 'either one of the two', so one of the pair suffices; it is not a conjunction of both.
18.47a reading here is contested

लग्नेऽन्त्येऽर्के चन्द्रे षष्ठे भौमेऽस्ते मातापितृघाती ।

lagne'ntye'rke candre ṣaṣṭhe bhaume'ste mātāpitṛghātī |

⟨When⟩ the Sun is in the lagna ⟨or⟩ in the last house ⟨the twelfth⟩, the Moon in the sixth, and Mars in the setting place ⟨the seventh⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ a slayer of mother and father.

  • What the page would not yield: NUMBER REPEATED IN THIS SECTION, and not corrected. The printing sets the numeral 17 on two sūtras of section R; this is the one at position 47 of 99.

(1) NUMBERING: the printing sets the numeral 17 on two sūtras of section R; this is the one standing at position 47 of 99, and the section has no sūtra numbered 47. The printed number is kept because it is this edition's own citation form (its English index cites by letter + figure), but it is unsettled until the 1941 plates are read. (2) SYNTAX: the mūla gives three locatives for the Sun's clause — लग्ने, अन्त्ये — with no वा or च between them. One Sun cannot stand in both the lagna and the twelfth, so the two are taken as alternative placements and ⟨or⟩ is supplied; a reading that made लग्ने a separate independent condition (some graha, unnamed, in the lagna) is grammatically possible but leaves अर्के without a house, so it is not adopted. अन्त्य = the last house = the twelfth; अस्त = the setting place = the seventh (GLOSSARY). घाती is left at full weight: the compound मातापितृघाती says slayer/destroyer of mother and father, not merely 'harmful to the parents'.

मेषे चन्द्रे मन्ददृष्टे निर्धनो लोभी ।

meṣe candre mandadṛṣṭe nirdhano lobhī |

The Moon in Aries, aspected by Saturn (manda) — ⟨the native is⟩ without wealth and greedy.

कर्माम्बुपौ त्रिकेऽवलौ सबलेऽङ्गपे जन्मावसरे पितुर्मातुर्वा मरणम् ।

karmāmbupau trike'valau sabale'ṅgape janmāvasare piturmāturvā maraṇam |

The lords of the 10th (karma) and of the 4th (ambu) weak in a trika ⟨the 6th, 8th or 12th⟩, while the lord of the lagna (aṅga) is strong — the death of the father or of the mother at the time of birth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अम्बु ('water') = the 4th house; त्रिक = the 6th, 8th and 12th throughout this work (the house numbers are supplied, the term is the text's). The 10th and the 4th here stand for father and mother in that order, which the verdict पितुर्मातुर्वा keeps; the strong lagna-lord is what leaves the child alive.

सुखेशांशपे केन्द्रे मित्रदृष्टे वा भौमदृष्टयुते भ्रातुर्धनं क्षेत्रं च प्राप्नोति ।

sukheśāṃśape kendre mitradṛṣṭe vā bhaumadṛṣṭayute bhrāturdhanaṃ kṣetraṃ ca prāpnoti |

The lord of the navāṃśa of the lord of the 4th (sukha) in a kendra, or aspected by a friend, and aspected by or joined with Mars — ⟨the native⟩ obtains his brother's wealth and land.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सुख = the 4th house. वा divides the first two conditions (kendra / aspect of a friend); the Mars clause is a further requirement, not a third alternative. क्षेत्र is land or field, and is left at that.

धर्माम्बुपौ कर्मगौ सर्वार्थवाहनयुतो भाग्यवान् ।

dharmāmbupau karmagau sarvārthavāhanayuto bhāgyavān |

The lords of the 9th (dharma) and of the 4th (ambu) placed in the 10th (karma) — ⟨the native is⟩ possessed of all wealth and conveyances, and fortunate.

खे जीवे इङ्गितज्ञो मानी च ।

khe jīve iṅgitajño mānī ca |

Jupiter in the 10th (kha) — ⟨the native⟩ reads others' intentions from their gestures, and is proud.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ख ('the sky') = the 10th house. मानी is 'proud, holding his own honour high' — it can be read as either a merit or a fault and the Sanskrit does not decide; the Hindi keeps मानी.

धनेशे पापदृष्टे कपटादिना विषभोजनम् ।

dhaneśe pāpadṛṣṭe kapaṭādinā viṣabhojanam |

The lord of the 2nd (dhana) aspected by a malefic — the eating of poison through treachery and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The verdict has no expressed subject and is an abstract noun — 'there is an eating of poison' — so it is not turned into a predicate of the native. The 2nd is the house of the mouth and of food, which is why it carries this ruling.

शुभर्क्षे भ्रातृकारके शौर्यधैर्यान्वितः ।

śubharkṣe bhrātṛkārake śauryadhairyānvitaḥ |

The significator of brothers ⟨Mars⟩ in a benefic's sign — ⟨the native is⟩ endowed with valour and fortitude.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुमर्क्षे prints for शुभर्क्षे (शुभ + ऋक्ष): शुम is not a word, and भ→म is a slip this OCR makes elsewhere in the same text (भ्रातृलामभः / भातृलाभः at E.4 and E.19). The reading is not in doubt. भ्रातृकारक is Mars. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुभर्क्षे; this sentence names शुमर्क्षे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सोत्थेशांशेश्वरांशेशे स्वर्क्षादिवर्गे मानी युद्धपटुः कलहप्रियः ।

sottheśāṃśeśvarāṃśeśe svarkṣādivarge mānī yuddhapaṭuḥ kalahapriyaḥ |

When the navāṃśa lord of the navāṃśa lord of the lord of the 3rd (sottha) stands in its own sign or another such varga — ⟨the native is⟩ proud, skilled in battle, fond of quarrel.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सोत्थ = the 3rd house (see 44). सोत्थेशांशेश्वरांशेशे is a chain of three: the 3rd lord → its navāṃśa lord → that one's navāṃśa lord. A two-step reading (taking अंशेश्वर and अंशेश as one and the same office named twice) is possible and would shorten the chain by one link; the verdict is unaffected either way. स्वर्क्षादिवर्ग = own sign and the other favourable vargas of the same series. The phala is the 3rd house's own subject-matter — parākrama.

लग्नेऽर्थे जीवे मधुरप्रियमधुरवाक् सत्यवादी ।

lagne'rthe jīve madhurapriyamadhuravāk satyavādī |

Jupiter in the lagna ⟨or⟩ the 2nd (artha) — ⟨the native is⟩ fond of sweet things, sweet of speech, ⟨and⟩ a speaker of truth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मधुरप्रियमधुरवाक् sets the same word twice, once of taste and once of speech; both are kept. Two houses for one graha with no वा expressed, as at 17.

लग्नेशेऽङ्के कुजार्कदृष्टे क्रोधी व्यसनी कटुप्रियः ।

lagneśe'ṅke kujārkadṛṣṭe krodhī vyasanī kaṭupriyaḥ |

The lord of the lagna in the 9th (aṅka), aspected by Mars (kuja) and the Sun — ⟨the native is⟩ wrathful, given to vice, ⟨and⟩ fond of what is pungent.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्क is the number-word for nine (the nine digits) and is this text's regular name for the 9th house — C.44, C.59, C.343, D.125 and K.40 all use it so, and at D.125 the edition's own facing English confirms it. The competing possibility is a scanner's क for the very common ग of अङ्ग (= the lagna), which this OCR is capable of and which was taken at L.21; it cannot be excluded from the file alone and should be settled on the 1941 plates. Nothing but the house changes. कटुप्रिय is 'fond of the pungent' — of pungent food, or of harsh speech; the Hindi keeps कटुप्रिय and holds both.

कोशगौ ज्ञार्कौ सेवारतोऽस्थिरधनी ।

kośagau jñārkau sevārato'sthiradhanī |

Mercury and the Sun standing in the 2nd (kośa, the treasury) — ⟨the native is⟩ given to service, ⟨and⟩ of unsteady wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कोश ('treasury') = the 2nd house, as at D.15. सेवारत is service as a livelihood — dependent employment — and not devotional service.

सोत्थे राहुमन्दौ कुनखी दक्षकरे घाती वायुरोगी ।

sotthe rāhumandau kunakhī dakṣakare ghātī vāyurogī |

Rāhu and Saturn (manda) in the 3rd (sottha) — ⟨the native has⟩ diseased nails, a wound on the right hand, ⟨and⟩ suffers from wind-disease.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: घाती is literally 'striking, slaying'; with the locative दक्षकरे it is taken as a blow or wound borne on the right hand, which is what the company it keeps (bad nails, wind-disease — bodily marks, and the 3rd house is the arms) requires. 'One who strikes with the right hand' is the other reading the word permits; the Hindi keeps घात, which holds both. वायुरोग = disorder of the wind humour.

सोत्थेऽर्के वा भौमेऽस्थिभङ्गो विषभयं वह्निजं चिह्नम् ।

sotthe'rke vā bhaume'sthibhaṅgo viṣabhayaṃ vahnijaṃ cihnam |

The Sun or Mars in the 3rd (sottha) — fracture of a bone, danger from poison, ⟨and⟩ a mark born of fire.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वा separates the two grahas — either one. The three results are stated as bare nouns without a subject and are kept so.

खला मृतिगा सव्रणचिह्नं गुह्यं भगन्दरादि रोगी च ।

khalā mṛtigā savraṇacihnaṃ guhyaṃ bhagandarādi rogī ca |

Malefics gone to the 8th (mṛti): a scar-mark on the private parts, and ⟨the native is⟩ afflicted with fistula-in-ano and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mṛti (death) is this text's word for the 8th house. guhya = the private parts; savraṇacihna = a mark left by a sore or wound. bhagandara is fistula-in-ano; the -ādi ('and the like') is the sūtra's own.

खे चन्द्रे सुताङ्गे जीवे दानी तपस्वी जितेन्द्रियश्च ।

khe candre sutāṅge jīve dānī tapasvī jitendriyaśca |

The Moon in the 10th (kha) and Jupiter in the 5th (suta) or in the lagna: ⟨the native is⟩ liberal in giving, austere, and one who has conquered his senses.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kha ('sky') = the 10th; suta = the 5th; aṅga = the lagna. sutāṅge is a dvandva locative, so Jupiter in either place answers.

ज्ञेन्द्वर्कजाः केन्द्रव्ययधर्मगाः ऐश्वर्यज्ञानहीनः ।

jñendvarkajāḥ kendravyayadharmagāḥ aiśvaryajñānahīnaḥ |

Mercury, the Moon and Saturn occupying a kendra, the 12th (vyaya) and the 9th (dharma): ⟨the native is⟩ devoid of lordship and of knowledge.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: arkaja ('son of the Sun') = Saturn. varma ('armour') is NOT a standard bhāva-name and no house-list in this text uses it; it is most probably the OCR's व for ध in dharma (the 9th), but that is an inference and the word is left as printed, transliterated, in both renderings. The sense of the apodosis is unaffected. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads केन्द्रव्ययधर्मगाः for केन्द्रव्ययवर्मगाः, corrected on the lexicon on 2026-09-20; both renderings now name the 9th (dharma), so varma is no longer left in the text or transliterated.]

सर्वे ग्रहा नीचारिभागगा उच्चस्था अपि सत्कर्महीनो भिक्षांशी ।

sarve grahā nīcāribhāgagā uccasthā api satkarmahīno bhikṣāṃśī |

All the grahas occupying the divisions (bhāga) of debilitation or of an enemy — even though they stand exalted ⟨by rāśi⟩: ⟨the native is⟩ devoid of good works, an eater of alms.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bhikṣāṃśī = bhikṣā-aśin, one who eats alms. The printed line ends 'भिक्षांशी शी' — the trailing शी is a scanner dittography of the last akṣara and carries no sense; nothing is translated from it. api ('even') carries the whole force: rāśi-exaltation does not save a graha sunk in a hostile or debilitated aṃśa.

लग्नेशे रन्ध्रे क्रूरयुतदृष्टेऽग्निमान्द्यं दद्रुकण्डुपीडा श्वित्री ।

lagneśe randhre krūrayutadṛṣṭe'gnimāndyaṃ dadrukaṇḍupīḍā śvitrī |

The lord of the lagna in the 8th (randhra), joined with or aspected by malefics: weakness of the digestive fire, the affliction of ringworm and itching; ⟨the native is⟩ a sufferer from leucoderma.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The print reads 'रक्रूरयुतदृष्टे'. The र before क्रूर is orphaned: either a stray akṣara or the stump of रवि- (Sun-and-malefics). Only krūra is translated. dadru = ringworm/herpetic patch; kaṇḍū = itch; śvitra = leucoderma, white leprosy — rendered at its weight, not softened. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads रन्ध्रे क्रूरयुतदृष्टेऽग्निमान्द्यं; this sentence names रक्रूरयुतदृष्टे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

भौमेऽङ्गे नेत्रपाणौ भुजङ्गदन्तक्षतपावकाम्बुभयम् ।

bhaume'ṅge netrapāṇau bhujaṅgadantakṣatapāvakāmbubhayam |

Mars in the lagna (aṅga): ⟨injury⟩ to the eye and to the hand; fear from serpents, from tooth-wounds, from fire and from water.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: netrapāṇau is a locative dvandva with no governing noun of its own; the Sanskrit names the places (eye, hand) and leaves the harm to be understood from kṣata in the following compound, so 'injury' is supplied in brackets in both languages.

चन्द्राच्छौ षष्ठेऽष्टमे वा मन्दाग्न्युदररोगी ।

candrācchau ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame vā mandāgnyudararogī |

The Moon and Venus (accha) in the 6th or the 8th — ⟨the native has⟩ a weak digestive fire and diseases of the belly.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: चन्द्राच्छौ is a dvandva in the nominative dual, candra + accha — the Moon and 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. The earlier note here emended the word to शनौ ('Saturn') and turned the two grahas into a reckoning FROM the Moon; both were wrong. 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'.

केविन्दू सोत्थे भ्रातृहीनो धनी च ।

kevindū sotthe bhrātṛhīno dhanī ca |

⟨Venus⟩ and the Moon in the 3rd (sottha): ⟨the native is⟩ without brothers, and wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sottha (sa-uttha, 'arisen together') is this text's name for the 3rd house — cf. sūtras 73 and 74, where bhrātṛpa and sottheśa are plainly the same lord. The printed 'केविन्दू' is not a graha-name; the dual -indū requires 'X and the Moon', and the likeliest X is kavi (Venus): कवीन्दू mis-set as केविन्दू, a mātrā transposition. Venus is therefore bracketed as an emendation. Mars (कुजेन्दू) is the only other candidate; the benefic reading agrees better with the doctrine that benefics in the 3rd destroy co-borns.

क्रमात् षष्ठादित्रयगा भौमागुमन्दा भार्या न जीवति भ्रातृहीनश्च ।

kramāt ṣaṣṭhāditrayagā bhaumāgumandā bhāryā na jīvati bhrātṛhīnaśca |

Mars, Rāhu (agu, 'the rayless one') and Saturn (manda) occupying, in order, the three houses beginning with the 6th ⟨the 6th, the 7th and the 8th⟩: the wife does not live, and ⟨the native is⟩ without brothers.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: SETTLED 2026-09-08, and NOT by correcting the mūla. The earlier note read: "The middle graha is lost. 'भौमागुमन्दा' gives bhauma and manda cleanly, but the āgu between them is no graha-name in any register — arka (the Sun) and guru (Jupiter) are both one or two akṣaras away and neither can be preferred." Two things close it. First, the word is not a scanner error: the 1914 Śrīnivāsa Mahādeva Śarmā exemplar prints the same akṣaras at its own ॥८२॥ (sharma-1914-hindi__dli-406051_djvu.txt L14040), so both printings set आगु. Second, the 1941 edition's facing English at dli2015-32366_djvu.txt L16796-16799 states the claim and names the middle graha as RĀHU, with the three houses as the 6th, 7th and 8th and the results as loss of wife and of brothers. अ-गु is 'having no गु', no ray, which is the shadow-graha Rāhu; the same book coins अच्छ ('the clear one') for Venus and सोत्थ ('arisen together') for the 3rd house, so a two-syllable privative code is its normal habit. Section R runs +13 in the 1914 against ours at this point, which is the drift already recorded on R.47.

राह्विन्दू सपापौ रिःफे उन्मादी कलहशीलः ।

rāhvindū sapāpau riḥphe unmādī kalahaśīlaḥ |

Rāhu and the Moon together with a malefic in the 12th (riḥpha): ⟨the native is⟩ mad and given to quarrelling.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: riḥpha (Greek riphé) = the 12th house, the same place the text elsewhere calls vyaya and antya. unmādī is madness, not mere agitation.

अंशे राहौ धानुष्कश्चौरो वा ।

aṃśe rāhau dhānuṣkaścauro vā |

Rāhu in the aṃśa: ⟨the native is⟩ an archer, or else a thief.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṃśa with no qualifier is the navāṃśa of the lagna, on the pattern of sūtra 77, where the aṅka is named by its house. dhānuṣka = a bowman, by trade or by service.

अंशे शुक्रे राजसेवी कामी च ।

aṃśe śukre rājasevī kāmī ca |

Venus in the aṃśa: ⟨the native is⟩ a servant of the king, and lustful.

भ्रातृपे सशुक्रे कामी कलही ।

bhrātṛpe saśukre kāmī kalahī |

The lord of the 3rd (bhrātṛ-pa) together with Venus: ⟨the native is⟩ lustful and quarrelsome.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bhrātṛ-pa = 'lord of brothers' = the lord of the 3rd, the sottheśa of the next sūtra.

सोत्थेशेऽङ्गेऽङ्गेशे सोत्थेऽल्पवीर्यः कुलसुखदः।

sottheśe'ṅge'ṅgeśe sotthe'lpavīryaḥ kulasukhadaḥ|

The lord of the 3rd (sottha) in the lagna and the lord of the lagna in the 3rd: ⟨the native is⟩ of little virility, ⟨yet⟩ a giver of happiness to his family.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: An exchange (parivartana) of the lords of the 1st and 3rd. alpavīrya is bodily vigour and virility together; the Hindi अल्पवीर्य keeps both, where English must lean one way.

खलयुतदृष्टे कुजेऽस्ते मूत्रकृच्छ्री क्लीबः।

khalayutadṛṣṭe kuje'ste mūtrakṛcchrī klībaḥ|

Mars, joined with or aspected by malefics, in the 7th (asta): ⟨the native suffers⟩ strangury, and is impotent.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: asta ('the setting place') = the 7th. mūtrakṛcchra is painful, obstructed urination. klība is rendered 'impotent'; the word covers impotence and, in the older usage, a eunuch — the Hindi क्लीब holds both without choosing.

शुभांशहीनौ ज्ञचन्द्रौ केन्द्रे विस्मयालुर्भ्रमयुक्तः।

śubhāṃśahīnau jñacandrau kendre vismayālurbhramayuktaḥ|

Mercury and the Moon in a kendra, devoid of benefic aṃśas: ⟨the native is⟩ given to astonishment and beset by confusion.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vismayālu is 'prone to vismaya', which is astonishment and, in a second register, self-conceit; bhrama is mental wandering, giddiness or delusion. The Hindi विस्मयालु keeps the ambiguity the English has to resolve.

लाभाङ्केऽर्थेशे उद्यमी धनी गुणी ।

lābhāṅke'rtheśe udyamī dhanī guṇī |

The lord of the 2nd (artha) in the aṃśa of the 11th (lābha): ⟨the native is⟩ industrious, wealthy, and endowed with good qualities.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅka here = aṃśa, the navāṃśa; lābha = the 11th, artha = the 2nd.

लग्नेशेऽन्त्ये खे पापे भौमयुतचन्द्रे परदेशी भिक्षाशी दुःखी ।

lagneśe'ntye khe pāpe bhaumayutacandre paradeśī bhikṣāśī duḥkhī |

The lord of the lagna in the 12th (antya), a malefic in the 10th (kha), and the Moon joined with Mars: ⟨the native lives⟩ in a foreign land, eats alms, and is wretched.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: antya ('the last') = the 12th; kha = the 10th. Three conditions stand together, not as alternatives.

जीवार्थेशौ षष्ठान्त्यगौ क्लेशभाग् द्रव्यहीनः ।

jīvārtheśau ṣaṣṭhāntyagau kleśabhāg dravyahīnaḥ |

Jupiter and the lord of the 2nd (artha) occupying the 6th and the 12th (antya): ⟨the native⟩ has affliction for his portion and is devoid of substance.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kleśabhāj is literally 'one who has affliction for his share'. The dual does not fix which graha takes which house.

चन्द्रात्सौम्याः षष्ठादित्रयगाश्चमूपसचिवभूपो बलतारतम्यात् ।

candrātsaumyāḥ ṣaṣṭhāditrayagāścamūpasacivabhūpo balatāratamyāt |

Benefics occupying the three houses beginning with the 6th from the Moon: ⟨the native becomes⟩ a commander of armies, a minister, or a king, according to the gradation of their strength.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: saumya here is the class (benefics), not Mercury — the plural and the strength-gradation both require it. The three ranks answer to the three degrees of strength, ascending.

चन्द्राद्रव्यन्यो व्ययेऽनुफा धने सनुफा उभयत्रदुरुधराऽन्यथा केमद्रुमः।

candrādravyanyo vyaye'nuphā dhane sanuphā ubhayatradurudharā'nyathā kemadrumaḥ|

From the Moon: a graha other than the Sun in the 12th (vyaya) ⟨makes⟩ anaphā; in the 2nd (dhana), sunaphā; in both, durudharā; otherwise, kemadruma.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The definitional sūtra for the four Moon-yogas; sūtras 82–85 give their results in the same order. Two scanner slips in the line, neither affecting the sense, both recoverable from the next three sūtras: मनुफा for सुनफा (cf. 82, where the same word is printed सनुफा), and दुरुधराज्यथा for दुरुधरान्यथा (durudharā + anyathā). [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads उभयत्रदुरुधराऽन्यथा and सनुफा; this sentence names दुरुधराज्यथा and मनुफा, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

सनुफायां राजा तत्समो वा धीधनख्यातिमांश्च ।

sanuphāyāṃ rājā tatsamo vā dhīdhanakhyātimāṃśca |

In sunaphā: a king, or his equal, and possessed of intellect, wealth and renown.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Printed सनुफायां; the yoga is sunaphā, as sūtra 81 defines it. tatsama, 'his equal', is the text's own hedge and is kept.

अनुफायां प्रभुः शीलवान् ख्यातो निरोगी ।

anuphāyāṃ prabhuḥ śīlavān khyāto nirogī |

In anaphā: a lord, of good conduct, famous, free from disease.

दुरुधरायां धनवाहनाढ्योत्पन्नभोगसुखभुक् ।

durudharāyāṃ dhanavāhanāḍhyotpannabhogasukhabhuk |

In durudharā: rich in wealth and vehicles, and enjoying the pleasures and comforts that accrue ⟨to him⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: utpanna ('arisen, accrued') qualifies the enjoyments: what he consumes is what has come to him, not what he sought.

केमद्रुमे मलिनदुःखितनीचनिःस्वो नृपजोऽपि ।

kemadrume malinaduḥkhitanīcaniḥsvo nṛpajo'pi |

In kemadruma: filthy, wretched, base and destitute — even though born the son of a king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The four adjectives are left at full strength: malina (dirty), duḥkhita (afflicted), nīca (low, base), niḥsva (having nothing at all). nṛpajo'pi — 'a king's son even so' — is the sting of the sūtra and is not softened.

चन्द्रार्कयोगे यन्त्राश्मकर्ता ।

candrārkayoge yantrāśmakartā |

In the conjunction of the Moon and the Sun: a maker of machines and of stonework.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Sūtras 86–90 run the Sun through conjunction with each of the other grahas; Mars is absent from the printed series here.

ज्ञार्कयोगे गोक्रियापटुर्धीकीर्तिसौख्यान्वितः ।

jñārkayoge gokriyāpaṭurdhīkīrtisaukhyānvitaḥ |

In the conjunction of Mercury and the Sun: skilled in work with cattle, endowed with intellect, fame and happiness.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: gokriyā is the handling and husbandry of cattle.

जीवार्कयोगे क्रूरोऽन्यकार्यनिरतः ।

jīvārkayoge krūro'nyakāryanirataḥ |

In the conjunction of Jupiter and the Sun: cruel, and engrossed in other people's affairs.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: krūra of a person is 'cruel', not the technical 'malefic'; the sūtra says it of a Jupiter combination and it is left standing.

शुक्रार्कयोगेऽङ्गायुधैर्लब्धस्वः।

śukrārkayoge'ṅgāyudhairlabdhasvaḥ|

In the conjunction of Venus and the Sun: one who has gained his wealth by his own limbs and by weapons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅga-āyudhaiḥ is instrumental: the limbs (bodily labour, or bodily skill) and weapons are the means of the gain.

मन्दार्कयोगे धातुनैपुण्यम् ।

mandārkayoge dhātunaipuṇyam |

In the conjunction of Saturn (manda) and the Sun: skill in metals.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: dhātu is metal or mineral; the sūtra states the skill impersonally, as a neuter noun, and the rendering keeps that.

मन्दारयोगे लुब्धकश्चलचित्तः ।

mandārayoge lubdhakaścalacittaḥ |

In the yoga ⟨conjunction⟩ of Saturn (manda) and Mars (āra), ⟨the native is⟩ greedy and fickle of mind.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: manda = Saturn, āra = Mars (GLOSSARY). The printing's mandāra stands one akṣara from mandārka in the immediately preceding sūtra (R.90, Saturn with the Sun); since Saturn–Sun is already given there, Saturn–Mars is the reading taken here. yoga in this run of sūtras is the conjunction of the two named grahas.

चन्द्रज्ञयोगे प्रियवागर्थपटुः सौभाग्यकीर्त्यान्वितः ।

candrajñayoge priyavāgarthapaṭuḥ saubhāgyakīrtyānvitaḥ |

In the yoga of the Moon and Mercury (jña), ⟨the native is⟩ of pleasing speech, adept in artha ⟨wealth⟩, and endowed with good fortune and fame.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: priyavāgarthapaṭuḥ divides two ways: priyavāk + arthapaṭuḥ ('of pleasing speech, adept in wealth', taken here), or priyavāc-artha-paṭuḥ ('adept in pleasing words and their meaning'). English must choose; the Hindi अर्थ holds both values, as the Sanskrit does.

चन्द्रेज्ययोगे शत्रुजेता कुलमुख्यश्चपलो धनी ।

candrejyayoge śatrujetā kulamukhyaścapalo dhanī |

In the yoga of the Moon and Jupiter (ijya), ⟨the native is⟩ a conqueror of enemies, foremost in his family, restless, and wealthy.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ijya ('the one to be worshipped') = Jupiter — an epithet beside the glossary's jīva / guru / vākpati. śatru here is the enemy as a person, not the 6th house (GLOSSARY: ari / ripu / śatru — note which).

चन्द्राच्छयोगे वस्त्रादिक्रियापटुः ।

candrācchayoge vastrādikriyāpaṭuḥ |

In the yoga of the Moon and accha ⟨Venus⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ skilled in work with cloth and the like.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: accha ('clear, white') = Venus, a synonym of the glossary's sita. Three things fix it: the parallel Sun-series at R.86–90 runs Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus (śukra), Saturn and this Moon-series runs Mercury, Jupiter, accha, Saturn — accha stands in the Venus slot; cloth (vastra) is Venus's own signification; and S.37 pairs jñācchau ('Mercury and accha') with beauty, a beloved husband and skill in the kalās.

एकस्मिन्नप्युच्चेऽङ्गे समित्रे प्रचुरधनः सिद्धः।

ekasminnapyucce'ṅge samitre pracuradhanaḥ siddhaḥ|

Even when a single ⟨graha⟩ ⟨stands⟩ exalted in the aṅga (the 1st house) together with a friend, ⟨the native is⟩ abundantly wealthy and accomplished.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: aṅga = the 1st house, on this text's own usage (S.37 jñācchau aṅge; T.42 aṅge pākapamitravarge). ucce and aṅge are two locatives (sandhi ucce + aṅge), not a compound. siddhaḥ is taken as a further predicate of the native ('accomplished'); it could instead close the sūtra impersonally, '⟨this is⟩ established'. The sūtra names no graha — ekasmin is read with an understood grahe.

चन्द्रमन्दयोगे परुषवाक् कपटी च ।

candramandayoge paruṣavāk kapaṭī ca |

In the yoga of the Moon and Saturn (manda), ⟨the native is⟩ harsh of speech and a deceiver.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: kapaṭī is 'deceitful, a fraud' — rendered at its weight, not as 'shrewd'.

सबले स्वेशे केन्द्रकोणे यज्ञकूपायतनकर्ता देवताऽतिथिपूजकः ।

sabale sveśe kendrakoṇe yajñakūpāyatanakartā devatā'tithipūjakaḥ |

When one's own lord (sveśa) is strong and ⟨placed⟩ in a kendra or a trikoṇa, ⟨the native is⟩ a maker of sacrifices, wells and shrines, and a worshipper of the deities and honourer of guests.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sveśa = 'one's own lord'; the sūtra does not name the bhāva, and the usual reference is the lord of the lagna. kendrakoṇe is one locative covering both — a kendra (1, 4, 7, 10) or a trikoṇa (1, 5, 9). āyatana = a shrine or temple.

शुभा वक्रगा राज्यार्थदाः पापा व्यसनहानिदाः ।

śubhā vakragā rājyārthadāḥ pāpā vyasanahānidāḥ |

Benefics that go retrograde give sovereignty and wealth; malefics ⟨retrograde⟩ give vice and loss.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vakraga = retrograde, not Mars — the glossary flags वक्र as ambiguous, and this text settles it at T.15, vakragasya pāke, 'in the daśā of a retrograde ⟨graha⟩'. vyasana is 'vice/addiction' or 'calamity'; English must choose, and the Hindi व्यसन keeps both. The second clause supplies vakragāḥ from the first.

सर्वे सौम्यास्त्र्यायारिगा बाल्ये सुखी तत्रैव पापा वयसोऽन्त्ये।

sarve saumyāstryāyārigā bālye sukhī tatraiva pāpā vayaso'ntye|

⟨When⟩ all the benefics go to the 3rd, the 11th (āya) and the 6th (ari), ⟨the native is⟩ happy in childhood; malefics in those very ⟨houses⟩, at the end of ⟨his⟩ years.

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 मिश्रविवेकः ॥” · “॥ इति जातकतत्वे तृतीयं तत्वम् ॥”
  • About this edition: tri-āya-ari = the 3rd, the 11th and the 6th (GLOSSARY: āya = 11th, ari = 6th); saumya here is the class, benefics. sukhī is stated once and supplied into the second clause. This is the last numbered sūtra of the section: the colophon that follows (॥ इति मिश्रविवेकः ॥ · ॥ इति जातकतत्वे तृतीयं तत्वम् ॥) carries no number and is not a sūtra.

Adhyāya 19 · S. IV. स्त्रीजातकतत्वम्

यत्पुञ्जातकोक्तं तत्सर्वं स्त्रीणामपि ।

yatpuñjātakoktaṃ tatsarvaṃ strīṇāmapi |

Whatever has been declared in the ⟨section on⟩ male nativity, all of that ⟨holds⟩ for women too.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: पुञ्जातक stands for पुंजातक (puṃ-jātaka, the male-nativity portion); the anusvāra has been read as a conjunct. Sense unaffected.

स्त्रीणामसम्भवं पतिषु ।

strīṇāmasambhavaṃ patiṣu |

What is not possible in the case of women ⟨is to be applied⟩ to their husbands.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Elliptical sūtra: no verb. The received sense — the male-nativity results that cannot apply to a woman herself (kingship, and the like) are read of her husband — is supplied by sūtra 1, which this one qualifies.

लग्नचन्द्रतः शरीरं तत्सप्तमाष्टमतः सौभाग्यवैधव्ये ।

lagnacandrataḥ śarīraṃ tatsaptamāṣṭamataḥ saubhāgyavaidhavye |

From the ascendant (lagna) and the Moon, the body; from the seventh and the eighth from those two, marital fortune (saubhāgya) and widowhood.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: मौभाग्य for सौभाग्य (स misread as म). Read as saubhāgya — the married woman's good fortune, i.e. a living husband — which is what वैधव्य is set against. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सौभाग्यवैधव्ये; this sentence names मौभाग्य, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

लग्नेन्द्वोः समभे स्त्री स्त्रीस्वभावा शुभदृष्टे सच्छीलभूषणगुणा ।

lagnendvoḥ samabhe strī strīsvabhāvā śubhadṛṣṭe sacchīlabhūṣaṇaguṇā |

When the ascendant (lagna) and the Moon are in an even sign, the woman is of feminine nature; if aspected by a benefic, she is endowed with good conduct, ornaments and ⟨fine⟩ qualities.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सच्छीलभूषणगुणा can also be read as a single dependent compound — 'she whose ornament is good conduct and virtue'. The Hindi keeps the three members side by side, as the Sanskrit does.

विषमर्क्षगतयोः पुरुषाकृतिशीलयुक्ता पापयुतदृष्टे पापिनी गुणरूपहीना ।

viṣamarkṣagatayoḥ puruṣākṛtiśīlayuktā pāpayutadṛṣṭe pāpinī guṇarūpahīnā |

When the two are in an odd sign, she is possessed of a man's form and conduct; when joined with or aspected by malefics, she is wicked, devoid of virtue and of beauty.

तयोर्यो बली तत्त्रिंशांशे फलम् ।

tayoryo balī tattriṃśāṃśe phalam |

Of those two, whichever is the stronger — the result ⟨is read⟩ from its triṃśāṃśa (thirtieth-part).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: 'Those two' are the लग्न and the Moon of sūtras 3–5. This sūtra sets the subject of the triṃśāṃśa table that follows in 7–13: the sign named there is the sign of the stronger of the two.

भौमभे भौमस्य त्रिंशांशे कन्यैव दुष्टा ज्ञस्य मायाविनी गुरोः साध्वी कवेः कुवृत्ता मन्दस्य दासी ।

bhaumabhe bhaumasya triṃśāṃśe kanyaiva duṣṭā jñasya māyāvinī guroḥ sādhvī kaveḥ kuvṛttā mandasya dāsī |

In a sign of Mars: in the triṃśāṃśa of Mars, corrupted while yet a maiden; of Mercury (jña), a deceiver; of Jupiter, chaste; of Venus (kavi), of evil conduct; of Saturn (manda), a servant-woman.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कवि here is Venus (Śukra), not 'poet'. कन्यैव दुष्टा is the harsh reading the words carry — spoiled already as a virgin, i.e. before marriage.

शुक्रभे शुक्रस्य त्रिंशांशे गुणख्याता ज्ञस्य कलाज्ञा गुरोर्गुणमयी मन्दस्य पुनर्भूः कुजस्य दुष्टा ।

śukrabhe śukrasya triṃśāṃśe guṇakhyātā jñasya kalājñā gurorguṇamayī mandasya punarbhūḥ kujasya duṣṭā |

In a sign of Venus: in the triṃśāṃśa of Venus, renowned for her qualities; of Mercury, versed in the arts; of Jupiter, full of virtue; of Saturn, a punarbhū (a woman married a second time); of Mars (kuja), wicked.

ज्ञभे कुजस्य त्रिंशांशे कपटिनी ज्ञस्य गुणिनी जीवस्य सती शुक्रस्य कामुकी मन्दस्य क्लैब्यवती ।

jñabhe kujasya triṃśāṃśe kapaṭinī jñasya guṇinī jīvasya satī śukrasya kāmukī mandasya klaibyavatī |

In a sign of Mercury: in the triṃśāṃśa of Mars, given to trickery; of Mercury, virtuous; of Jupiter (jīva), a chaste wife (satī); of Venus, lustful; of Saturn, afflicted with sexual incapacity (klaibya).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: क्लैब्यवती of a woman is sexual incapacity or frigidity — the word is the feminine possessive of klaibya, the term used of an impotent man (cf. sūtra 16, where the husband is klība).

कर्के वक्रस्य त्रिंशांशे वेश्या ज्ञस्य शिल्पज्ञा जीवस्य गुणाढ्या शुक्रस्य कुलटा मन्दस्य पतिघ्नी ।

karke vakrasya triṃśāṃśe veśyā jñasya śilpajñā jīvasya guṇāḍhyā śukrasya kulaṭā mandasya patighnī |

In Cancer: in the triṃśāṃśa of Mars (vakra), a courtesan; of Mercury, skilled in the crafts; of Jupiter (jīva), rich in virtues; of Venus, a wanton (kulaṭā); of Saturn, a slayer of her husband.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वक्र here is Mars (the graha), not 'retrograde' — the series in 7–13 names one graha per triṃśāṃśa and Mars is the missing member otherwise.

सिंहे कुजस्य त्रिंशांशे नराचारा ज्ञस्य पुंश्चेष्टिता गुरो राज्ञी शुक्रस्य पुत्रगामिनी मन्दस्य कुलच्युता।

siṃhe kujasya triṃśāṃśe narācārā jñasya puṃśceṣṭitā guro rājñī śukrasya putragāminī mandasya kulacyutā|

In Leo: in the triṃśāṃśa of Mars, of manly conduct; of Mercury, behaving as a man does; of Jupiter, a queen; of Venus, one who consorts with her own son; of Saturn, fallen from her family.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Two OCR corruptions here, both settled from the pattern of the series: ज्ञम्य is ज्ञस्य, and नराचाग is read नराचारा ('of manly conduct'); नराकारा ('of a man's form') is the other candidate and differs by one akṣara, so the choice between conduct and form is not secure — the item next to it, पुंश्चेष्टिता, overlaps with either. शुक्रस्य पुत्रगामिनी is left at its literal weight: intercourse with her son. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads ज्ञस्य and नराचारा; this sentence names ज्ञम्य and नराचाग, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

जीवर्क्षे कुजस्य त्रिंशांशे बहुगुणा ज्ञस्य विज्ञा जीवस्य गुणतत्वविज्ञा शुक्रस्य सती मन्दस्य जारिणी ।

jīvarkṣe kujasya triṃśāṃśe bahuguṇā jñasya vijñā jīvasya guṇatatvavijñā śukrasya satī mandasya jāriṇī |

In a sign of Jupiter: in the triṃśāṃśa of Mars, of many virtues; of Mercury, discerning; of Jupiter, knowing the very principles of the qualities; of Venus, a chaste wife; of Saturn, an adulteress.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: शुक्रस for शुक्रस्य (the genitive ending has dropped a syllable); the parallel members of the same sūtra fix it.

मन्दभे वक्रस्य त्रिंशांशे दासी ज्ञस्य दुष्टा गुरोः साध्वी शुक्रस्य वन्ध्या शनेर्जारिणी ।

mandabhe vakrasya triṃśāṃśe dāsī jñasya duṣṭā guroḥ sādhvī śukrasya vandhyā śanerjāriṇī |

In a sign of Saturn: in the triṃśāṃśa of Mars (vakra), a servant-woman; of Mercury, wicked; of Jupiter, chaste; of Venus, barren; of Saturn (śani), an adulteress.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: गुगेः for गुरोः (Jupiter); the five-member pattern of sūtras 7–13 requires Jupiter here and gives the reading. वक्र again = Mars, as in 10. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads गुरोः; this sentence names गुगेः, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मन्दाच्छावन्योन्यांशगावन्योन्यदृष्टौ वा शुक्रभेऽङ्गे घटांशे पुरुषायिताभिस्त्रीभिः स्वकामं शमयति ।

mandācchāvanyonyāṃśagāvanyonyadṛṣṭau vā śukrabhe'ṅge ghaṭāṃśe puruṣāyitābhistrībhiḥ svakāmaṃ śamayati |

⟨If⟩ Saturn and Venus (accha) are in each other's aṃśas, or aspect one another, and the ascendant (aṅga) is in a sign of Venus in the aṃśa of Aquarius, she quenches her own desire with women who take the man's part.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अच्छ ('the clear, bright one') is read as Venus/Śukra, the same sense the name Śukra itself carries. The reading is forced by the parallels: sūtra 23 pairs वक्र with अच्छ in mutual aṃśas for adultery, and 24 lists चन्द्र + आर + अच्छ as three grahas — in both places Venus is the graha the classical rule requires and the only one otherwise unnamed. अङ्ग = the लग्न; घटांश = the Aquarius navāṃśa.

सप्तमे ग्रहाभावेऽबले सौम्यादृष्टे कुभर्तृका ।

saptame grahābhāve'bale saumyādṛṣṭe kubhartṛkā |

⟨When⟩ the seventh is void of grahas, weak, and unaspected by benefics — she gets a bad husband.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सौम्य here is the benefic class, not Mercury the graha. अबले is left where the Sanskrit leaves it: it can qualify the seventh house itself or its lord, and the sūtra does not say which.

ज्ञार्कजावस्ते भर्ता क्लीवः ।

jñārkajāvaste bhartā klīvaḥ |

Mercury and Saturn (arkaja) in the seventh (asta) — the husband is impotent (klība).

चरेऽङ्गे भर्ता प्रवासी।

care'ṅge bhartā pravāsī|

When the ascendant (aṅga) is a movable ⟨sign⟩, the husband lives abroad.

मदे सूर्ये भर्त्रा त्यज्यते ।

made sūrye bhartrā tyajyate |

The Sun in the seventh (mada) — she is abandoned by her husband.

सप्तमे भौमे पापदृष्टे बालविधवा ।

saptame bhaume pāpadṛṣṭe bālavidhavā |

Mars in the seventh, aspected by malefics — a widow while still a child.

मदे मन्दे पापैर्दृष्टे अविवाहः ।

made mande pāpairdṛṣṭe avivāhaḥ |

Saturn in the seventh (mada), aspected by malefics — no marriage ⟨at all⟩.

मिश्राः सप्तमे पुनर्भूः ।

miśrāḥ saptame punarbhūḥ |

Mixed ⟨benefics and malefics⟩ in the seventh — she is a punarbhū (married a second time).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मिश्राः, 'the mixed ones', is the plural standing for benefics and malefics together in one house; the sūtra says no more than that.

पापेऽबलेऽस्ते शुभदृष्टे भर्त्रा त्यज्यते ।

pāpe'bale'ste śubhadṛṣṭe bhartrā tyajyate |

A malefic, weak, in the seventh (asta), aspected by benefics — she is abandoned by her husband.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: त्यज्यने for त्यज्यते (न for त), the same verb as in sūtra 18. The result is left as printed even though the benefic aspect sits oddly with abandonment — the sūtra states both. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads त्यज्यते for त्यज्यने, 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.]

वक्राच्छावन्योन्यांशगावन्यसक्ता ।

vakrācchāvanyonyāṃśagāvanyasaktā |

Mars (vakra) and Venus (accha) in each other's aṃśas — she is attached to another ⟨man⟩.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अच्छ = Venus, as at sūtra 14. Mars and Venus in mutual aṃśas is the standard classical rule for unchastity, which corroborates the identification.

चन्द्राराच्छाः सप्तमे वा पुष्पवन्तौ पत्याज्ञयाऽन्यसक्ता ।

candrārācchāḥ saptame vā puṣpavantau patyājñayā'nyasaktā |

The Moon, Mars (āra) and Venus (accha) in the seventh — or else the Sun and Moon (puṣpavantau) ⟨there⟩ — she is attached to another ⟨man⟩ with her husband's permission.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पुष्पवन्तौ is the dual term for the Sun and the Moon together. पत्याज्ञया is 'by the husband's order or leave' — the sūtra makes the husband a consenting party, and that is not softened here.

लग्ने सितेन्दू मन्दारभगौ पापदृष्टौ जनन्या सहान्यरता।

lagne sitendū mandārabhagau pāpadṛṣṭau jananyā sahānyaratā|

Venus and the Moon in the ascendant, ⟨that being⟩ a sign of Saturn or of Mars, and aspected by malefics — she takes her pleasure with another ⟨man⟩ together with her mother.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मन्दारभगौ is read मन्द-आर-भ-गौ, 'the two gone into a sign (भ) of Saturn or Mars', which then describes the ascendant Venus and the Moon occupy. The reading is not certain: भग in this same chapter (26, 27) means the female organ, and a division मन्द-आर-भग-औ is grammatically possible though it leaves the dual without a construction. The astrological sense is unaffected either way.

कुजर्क्षांशेऽस्ते मन्ददृष्टे सरोगभगा ।

kujarkṣāṃśe'ste mandadṛṣṭe sarogabhagā |

The seventh (asta) in a sign and aṃśa of Mars, aspected by Saturn — her genitals are diseased.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अंश in the series 26–30 is the navāṃśa, the division ordinarily meant by the bare word; the triṃśāṃśa of 6–13 is always named in full there. भग is the female organ, and the sūtra is clinical, not figurative.

सद्ग्रहांशेऽस्ते सद्भगा पतिप्रिया ।

sadgrahāṃśe'ste sadbhagā patipriyā |

The seventh in the aṃśa of a benefic — her genitals are sound, and she is dear to her husband.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: OCR: सदग्रहांशे for सद्ग्रहांशे (the conjunct द्ग printed as द ग). सद्भगा is the positive counterpart of सरोगभगा in 26. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सद्ग्रहांशेऽस्ते; this sentence names सदग्रहांशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

सूर्यर्क्षांशे द्यूने पतिर्मन्दरतिः ॥

sūryarkṣāṃśe dyūne patirmandaratiḥ ||

The seventh (dyūna) in the sign and aṃśa of the Sun — the husband is feeble in sexual appetite.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: द्यून is another name for the 7th house; this chapter uses सप्तम, अस्त, मद and द्यून interchangeably (15/19/21, 16/22/26/27, 18/20/30, 28).

चन्द्रर्क्षांशेऽस्ते मृदुः कामी पतिः ।

candrarkṣāṃśe'ste mṛduḥ kāmī patiḥ |

The seventh (asta) in the sign and aṃśa of the Moon — the husband is gentle and amorous.

मदे वक्रर्क्षांशे प्रियः क्रोधी पतिः ।

made vakrarkṣāṃśe priyaḥ krodhī patiḥ |

In the seventh (mada), the sign and aṃśa of Mars (vakra) — the husband is affectionate ⟨but⟩ prone to anger.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वक्र = Mars, as in 10 and 13. प्रियः is 'dear/affectionate' and क्रोधी 'wrathful'; the sūtra sets them side by side without a conjunction, so the contrast is supplied.

ज्ञर्क्षांशेऽस्ते पतिर्विद्वान् ।

jñarkṣāṃśe'ste patirvidvān |

When the 7th house ⟨falls⟩ in Mercury's sign and navāṃśa, the husband is learned.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अस्त (asta) is the 7th house, the setting place, per the corpus glossary. ज्ञर्क्षांशे = ज्ञ + ऋक्ष + अंश, Mercury's sign and its navāṃśa; sūtras 31–34 run the same frame through Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn.

जीवभांशेऽस्ते गुणी जितेन्द्रियः पतिः ।

jīvabhāṃśe'ste guṇī jitendriyaḥ patiḥ |

When the 7th ⟨falls⟩ in Jupiter's sign and navāṃśa, the husband is virtuous and has mastered his senses.

शुक्रभांशेऽस्ते कान्तो भाग्यवान् ।

śukrabhāṃśe'ste kānto bhāgyavān |

When the 7th ⟨falls⟩ in Venus's sign and navāṃśa, ⟨the husband is⟩ handsome and fortunate.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints शुक्रमांशे; the parallel sūtras 32 (जीवभांशे) and 34 (मन्दभांशे) require शुक्रभांशे — an OCR म for भ. The word पति is carried over from 32/34 and is supplied here. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुक्रभांशेऽस्ते; this sentence names शुक्रमांशे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मन्दभांशेऽस्ते मूर्खो वृद्धश्च पतिः।

mandabhāṃśe'ste mūrkho vṛddhaśca patiḥ|

When the 7th ⟨falls⟩ in Saturn's sign and navāṃśa, the husband is a fool, and old.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मूर्ख is rendered at its weight — 'a fool', not 'dull' or 'simple'.

लग्ने शुक्रेन्दू मात्सर्यवती सुखिनी ।

lagne śukrendū mātsaryavatī sukhinī |

Venus and the Moon in the lagna: she is jealous, ⟨yet⟩ happy.

ज्ञेन्दू लग्ने कलाज्ञा गुणसुखाढ्या ।

jñendū lagne kalājñā guṇasukhāḍhyā |

Mercury and the Moon in the lagna: she knows the arts, and is rich in virtues and in comforts.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: गुणसुखाढया is printed for गुणसुखाढ्या (OCR, missing halanta). [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads गुणसुखाढ्या; this sentence names गुणसुखाढया, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

ज्ञाच्छावङ्गे दर्शनीया भर्तृप्रिया कलाज्ञा ।

jñācchāvaṅge darśanīyā bhartṛpriyā kalājñā |

Mercury and Venus in the lagna: she is good to look upon, dear to her husband, and skilled in the arts.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ज्ञाच्छावङ्गे resolves as ज्ञाच्छौ + अङ्गे, a dual dvandva of two grahas in the 1st house (अङ्ग). 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, A.38 ज्ञाच्छौ राजसौ, A.50 सूर्यस्य मन्दाच्छौ रिपू, A.54 जीवस्य ज्ञाच्छावरी, A.56 मन्दस्य ज्ञाच्छौ सुहृदौ, A.65 चन्द्राच्छौ सजलौ — and each of the six is the standard table with Venus in the remaining slot. It was ruled and recorded across this corpus on 2026-09-08. It is also on the ink: the 1941 plate at page index 88 sets भान्वच्छयुतौ at C.244 and चन्द्राच्छौ at C.247, with the facing English "the Sun and Venus" and "the Moon and Venus". The earlier note called the identification "a reading, not a certainty" and said "अच्छ is not a standard graha code"; that was written before the ruling and is superseded. The same sandhi ज्ञाच्छौ + अ- stands at C.55 and D.68 in this book. The prediction (beauty, marital favour, the arts) is Venusian and agrees.

शुभा लग्नगा अनेकसुखगुणाढ्या ।

śubhā lagnagā anekasukhaguṇāḍhyā |

Benefics in the lagna: she is rich in manifold comforts and virtues.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla prints a doubled akṣara, अअनेक for अनेक (OCR). [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads अनेकसुखगुणाढ्या; this sentence names अअनेक, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

पापेऽष्टमेऽष्टमेशांशेशदशायां विधवा ।

pāpe'ṣṭame'ṣṭameśāṃśeśadaśāyāṃ vidhavā |

A malefic in the 8th: she is widowed in the daśā of the lord of the navāṃśa ⟨occupied by⟩ the lord of the 8th.

गोकन्यालिसिंहेष्विन्दावल्पपुत्रा ।

gokanyālisiṃheṣvindāvalpaputrā |

The Moon in Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio or Leo: she has few sons.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: गो (the cow/bull) is Taurus and अलि (the bee/scorpion) is Scorpio; the four signs are given in the order Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, Leo and are kept in that order. अल्पपुत्रा is 'having few sons' specifically, not 'few children'.

मन्दे मध्यबले नृग्रहेषु सबलेषु शेषेषु निर्बलेषु पुंलग्नजा पुंवद्धृष्टा ।

mande madhyabale nṛgraheṣu sabaleṣu śeṣeṣu nirbaleṣu puṃlagnajā puṃvaddhṛṣṭā |

Saturn of middling strength, the male grahas strong, the rest without strength, and ⟨she⟩ born in a male lagna: she is bold like a man.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: नीर्बलेषु is printed for निर्बलेषु (OCR long ī). नृग्रह here is the male grahas, not the नृराशि (human sign) of the glossary; पुंलग्न is a male (odd) sign rising. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads निर्बलेषु; this sentence names नीर्बलेषु, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

ज्ञारेज्याच्छा बलिनः स्त्रीलग्नजा ख्याता ब्रह्मवित् ।

jñārejyācchā balinaḥ strīlagnajā khyātā brahmavit |

Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus being strong, ⟨a girl⟩ born in a female lagna is renowned and a knower of Brahman.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: स्त्रीलग्रजा is printed for स्त्रीलग्नजा (OCR ग्र for ग्न). अच्छा 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, A.38 ज्ञाच्छौ राजसौ, A.50 सूर्यस्य मन्दाच्छौ रिपू, A.54 जीवस्य ज्ञाच्छावरी, A.56 मन्दस्य ज्ञाच्छौ सुहृदौ, A.65 चन्द्राच्छौ सजलौ — and each of the six is the standard table with Venus in the remaining slot. It was ruled and recorded across this corpus on 2026-09-08. It is also on the ink: the 1941 plate at page index 88 sets भान्वच्छयुतौ at C.244 and चन्द्राच्छौ at C.247, with the facing English "the Sun and Venus" and "the Moon and Venus". The earlier note left the fourth graha conditional on that code being right; it is right, and the condition is discharged. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads स्त्रीलग्नजा; this sentence names स्त्रीलग्रजा, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

क्रूरेऽस्ते धर्मगप्रव्रज्या।

krūre'ste dharmagapravrajyā|

A malefic in the 7th and ⟨one⟩ in the 9th: ⟨she takes to⟩ the wandering ascetic's life (pravrajyā).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The mūla runs धर्मगप्रव्रज्या as one compound; read as धर्मगे (a second malefic gone to the 9th) governing प्रव्रज्या. It can also be construed as 'renunciation caused by ⟨a malefic⟩ in the 9th' — the astrological condition is the same either way.

पापभे पापदृष्टेऽस्तेऽनपत्या ।

pāpabhe pāpadṛṣṭe'ste'napatyā |

The 7th in a malefic's sign and aspected by a malefic: she is childless.

एकस्मिन् द्वयोस्त्रिषु सौम्येषु सप्तमे पतिप्रिया प्रवरा राज्ञी।

ekasmin dvayostriṣu saumyeṣu saptame patipriyā pravarā rājñī|

With one, two, or three benefics in the 7th, she is dear to her husband, pre-eminent, a queen.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The count 'one, two, three' is the sūtra's own (एकस्मिन् द्वयोः त्रिषु) and is kept exactly.

द्यूने राहौ कुलदोषदा दुःखार्ता ।

dyūne rāhau kuladoṣadā duḥkhārtā |

Rāhu in the 7th (dyūna): she brings blemish upon her family and is stricken with sorrow.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: द्यून is another of this corpus's names for the 7th house.

लग्नचन्द्रान्यतरतः पापाः सप्तमेऽष्टमे वा विधवा ।

lagnacandrānyatarataḥ pāpāḥ saptame'ṣṭame vā vidhavā |

Malefics in the 7th or the 8th from either the lagna or the Moon: she is a widow.

भौमर्क्षे राहौ सप्तमेऽष्टमे व्यये विधवा ।

bhaumarkṣe rāhau saptame'ṣṭame vyaye vidhavā |

Rāhu in a sign of Mars, in the 7th, the 8th, or the 12th: she is a widow.

लग्नेन्दू पापान्तरगौ सौम्यादृष्टौ कुलद्वयघ्नी ।

lagnendū pāpāntaragau saumyādṛṣṭau kuladvayaghnī |

The lagna and the Moon hemmed in between malefics and unaspected by benefics: she is the destroyer of two families.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पापान्तरगौ is the pāpa-kartari condition, malefics on both sides. कुलद्वयघ्नी is 'slayer of two families' — her natal and her marital line; the harshness is the sūtra's own.

कर्केऽस्ते भौमार्कौ परासक्ता जारिणी ।

karke'ste bhaumārkau parāsaktā jāriṇī |

The 7th being Cancer, with Mars and the Sun ⟨in it⟩: she is attached to another ⟨man⟩, an adulteress.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: भौमाकौं is printed for भौमार्कौ (OCR anusvāra for the repha). जारिणी is 'adulteress' and is not softened. [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.]

लग्नतुर्याष्टमान्त्यमदान्यतमे सपापारे पतित्यागात्परासक्ता ।

lagnaturyāṣṭamāntyamadānyatame sapāpāre patityāgātparāsaktā |

Mars together with a malefic in any one of the lagna, the 4th, the 8th, the 12th, or the 7th: forsaking her husband, she attaches herself to another.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: तुर्य is the 4th, अन्त्य the 12th and मद the 7th; five houses are named and all five are kept.

द्यूनेऽङ्गे पापे विवाहोत्तरं सप्तमाब्दे रण्डा ।

dyūne'ṅge pāpe vivāhottaraṃ saptamābde raṇḍā |

A malefic in the 7th and in the lagna: in the seventh year after marriage she is widowed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: रण्डा is a blunt word for a widowed woman — it also carries the sense of a woman cast off; the context here (and at 53–55) is widowhood, and it is rendered so.

षष्ठेऽष्टमे चन्द्रेऽष्टमाब्दे रण्डा ।

ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame candre'ṣṭamābde raṇḍā |

The Moon in the 6th or the 8th: in the eighth year she is widowed.

सप्तमे रन्ध्रेशे रन्ध्रे सप्तमेशे पापदृष्टे नवोढा रण्डा ।

saptame randhreśe randhre saptameśe pāpadṛṣṭe navoḍhā raṇḍā |

The lord of the 8th (randhra) in the 7th and the lord of the 7th in the 8th, aspected by a malefic: newly wed, she is widowed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: रन्ध्र is the 8th house. नवोढा is a bride newly married — the point of the sūtra is that the widowhood falls at once.

षष्ठाष्टमेशौ षष्ठे वा व्यये पापयुते नवोढा रण्डा ।

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭameśau ṣaṣṭhe vā vyaye pāpayute navoḍhā raṇḍā |

The lords of the 6th and the 8th in the 6th, or in the 12th when that ⟨house⟩ is joined by a malefic: newly wed, she is widowed.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पापयुते is locative and agrees with the house, so the malefic-conjunction qualifies the 12th (and, on a looser construction, either alternative).

अष्टमे जीवे वा शुक्रे नष्टगर्भा वा मृतापत्या ।

aṣṭame jīve vā śukre naṣṭagarbhā vā mṛtāpatyā |

Jupiter or Venus in the 8th: her pregnancies are lost, or her children die.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The two outcomes are alternatives (वा … वा), not a sequence.

कुजेऽष्टमे कुलटा।

kuje'ṣṭame kulaṭā|

Mars in the 8th: she is unchaste.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कुलटा is an unchaste woman; the sūtra is blunt and is left blunt.

मन्देऽष्टमे पती रोगी।

mande'ṣṭame patī rogī|

Saturn in the 8th: her husband is diseased.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पती is printed for पतिः (OCR long ī).

सूर्येऽष्टमे सन्तापयुक्ता।

sūrye'ṣṭame santāpayuktā|

The Sun in the 8th: she is beset with torment.

रन्ध्रे राहौ कुलधर्मघ्नी ।

randhre rāhau kuladharmaghnī |

Rāhu in the 8th (randhra): she destroys the dharma of her family.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: कुलधर्मग्नी is printed for कुलधर्मघ्नी (OCR ग for घ); the same stem is printed correctly as घ्नी at sūtra 49. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads कुलधर्मघ्नी; this sentence names कुलधर्मग्नी, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मन्दाश्लेषाद्वितीयायां जाता विषाख्या ।

mandāśleṣādvitīyāyāṃ jātā viṣākhyā |

A girl born on Saturn's day (manda), in Āśleṣā, on the second tithi (dvitīyā), is called viṣā — a poison-girl.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: विषाख्या, literally 'she who bears the name viṣa' — the technical विषकन्या (poison-girl) of the strī-jātaka. Sūtras 61–63 each set one weekday + one nakṣatra + one tithi; the numbers of the tithis (2, 12, 7) carry the yoga and are given exactly as printed.

सूर्यवारुणद्वादश्यां जाता विषाख्या ।

sūryavāruṇadvādaśyāṃ jātā viṣākhyā |

A girl born on the Sun's day, in the Vāruṇa nakṣatra ⟨Śatabhiṣaj⟩, on the twelfth tithi (dvādaśī), is called viṣā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वारुण names the nakṣatra by its presiding deity Varuṇa, i.e. Śatabhiṣaj; the text's own word is kept and the identification supplied.

कुजविशाखासप्तम्यां जाता विषाख्या ।

kujaviśākhāsaptamyāṃ jātā viṣākhyā |

A girl born on Mars' day (kuja), in Viśākhā, on the seventh tithi (saptamī), is called viṣā.

पापेऽङ्गे सशुभे पापावरिगौ जाता विषाख्या ।

pāpe'ṅge saśubhe pāpāvarigau jātā viṣākhyā |

⟨When⟩ a malefic is in the lagna (aṅga) together with a benefic, and two malefics are in the 6th (ari), the girl born is called viṣā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The e-text prints विपाख्या / vipākhyā; the word is विषाख्या, as in 61–63 and 65 — a ष/प misreading of exactly the kind this edition's profile flags (cf. the control sūtra A.22, where विपा- stands for viṣa). Translated as viṣākhyā; the printed form is left in the mūla. पापौ is dual, hence 'two malefics'. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads विषाख्या; this sentence names विपाख्या and vipākhyā, the forms our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected them, and they are kept as history.]

पुत्रेऽर्के मन्देऽङ्गे भौमेङ्के विषाख्या ।

putre'rke mande'ṅge bhaumeṅke viṣākhyā |

⟨When⟩ the Sun (arka) is in the 5th (putra), Saturn (manda) in the lagna (aṅga), and Mars (bhauma) in the 9th (aṅka), ⟨she is⟩ called viṣā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्क is read as the number-word for nine (the nine digits), so भौमेऽङ्के = Mars in the 9th; the printing carries no avagraha (भौमेङ्के), and the sandhi is resolved भौमे + अङ्के. The construction throughout 64–69 is graha in the locative + house in the locative (as in 68 ज्ञेऽष्टमे), which fixes अङ्क as a house and not as an epithet.

सा दुर्भगा मृतापत्या धनोना शोकार्ता ।

sā durbhagā mṛtāpatyā dhanonā śokārtā |

She is ill-fated (durbhagā), her children die, she is destitute of wealth and stricken with grief.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: दुर्भगा spans 'ill-fated' generally and, in strī-jātaka specifically, 'unloved by her husband'; the Hindi keeps the word and holds both, the English has to choose one and takes the wider sense. The sūtra is the result-clause for the viṣā combinations of 61–65.

द्यूनपे वा शुभेऽस्ते विषाख्या न ।

dyūnape vā śubhe'ste viṣākhyā na |

⟨But⟩ if the lord of the 7th (dyūna), or a benefic, is in the 7th (asta), she is not called viṣā.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: वा stands second in the sūtra and joins द्यूनप with शुभ, both governed by the single locative अस्ते (the 7th); it is a cancellation clause for 61–65. द्यून and अस्त are both the 7th house (glossary: asta = the 7th, the setting place).

ज्ञेऽष्टमे काकवन्ध्या ।

jñe'ṣṭame kākavandhyā |

Mercury (jña) in the 8th: ⟨she is⟩ a kāka-vandhyā — she bears one child and no more.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: काकवन्ध्या, 'crow-barren': a woman who bears a single child and then no more, the crow being held to raise only one.

मन्दार्कावष्टमे वन्ध्या ।

mandārkāvaṣṭame vandhyā |

Saturn (manda) and the Sun (arka) in the 8th: ⟨she is⟩ barren (vandhyā).

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मन्दार्कौ is dual — Saturn and the Sun both in the 8th, not either of them.

इत्थं विवाहकाले पृच्छायां च चिन्त्यम् ।

itthaṃ vivāhakāle pṛcchāyāṃ ca cintyam |

Thus is ⟨all this⟩ to be considered at the time of marriage, and in a query (pṛcchā).

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 जातकतत्वे स्त्रीजातकतत्वं चतुर्थम् ॥”
  • About this edition: Closing sūtra of the section. The printing then adds an unnumbered colophon — ॥ इति जातकतत्वे स्त्रीजातकतत्वं चतुर्थम् ॥ — which is not a sūtra and is not translated here.

Adhyāya 20 · T. V. दशातत्वम्

ग्रहो भावराशिदृग्योगजीविकादिफलं स्वदशान्तर्दशायां ददाति ।

graho bhāvarāśidṛgyogajīvikādiphalaṃ svadaśāntardaśāyāṃ dadāti |

A graha gives, in its own daśā and antardaśā, the fruit of ⟨its⟩ bhāva, rāśi, aspect, yoga, livelihood and the rest.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The printed mūla reads khadaśāntardaśāyāṃ. kha- is taken here as the graha's own daśā (= sva-daśā), which is what the chapter's opening general rule and the flanking sūtras require; kha in its other jyotiṣa sense would be the tenth bhāva, which will not stand beside antardaśāyāṃ. jīvikā (livelihood) is already listed separately in the compound, so the tenth-house reading would also duplicate it. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads स्वदशान्तर्दशायां; this sentence names khadaśāntardaśāyāṃ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

अतिबलस्य परमोच्चगस्य वा दशा सम्पूर्णाभिधा धनारोग्यविवर्धिनी।

atibalasya paramoccagasya vā daśā sampūrṇābhidhā dhanārogyavivardhinī|

The daśā of a graha of great strength, or of one gone to exact exaltation (paramocca), is named sampūrṇā ('full'), and it increases wealth and health.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sampūrṇābhidhā — 'bearing the name sampūrṇā'; this sūtra and 3–7 name the classes of daśā that the rest of the chapter then uses as terms.

विबलस्य वा नीचगस्य रिक्ता धनहानिदा ।

vibalasya vā nīcagasya riktā dhanahānidā |

Of a graha without strength, or of one gone to debilitation, ⟨the daśā is⟩ riktā ('empty'), giving loss of wealth.

किञ्चिद्बलोपेतस्योच्चगस्य पूर्णा धनदा ।

kiñcidbalopetasyoccagasya pūrṇā dhanadā |

Of one endowed with some strength and gone to exaltation, ⟨the daśā is⟩ pūrṇā ('full'), giving wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: उध्वगस्य is the OCR's spelling of ūrdhvagasya (ऊर्ध्वगस्य), 'moving upward'; the direction meant is the one sūtras 6–7 name explicitly as nīcābhimukha / uccābhimukha, i.e. travelling toward exaltation.

परमनीचगस्य वा नीचांशगस्य वाऽरिष्वंशगस्यानिष्टा धनारोग्यनाशिनी ।

paramanīcagasya vā nīcāṃśagasya vā'riṣvaṃśagasyāniṣṭā dhanārogyanāśinī |

Of one gone to exact debilitation (paramanīca), or standing in a debilitation aṃśa, or standing in the aṃśas of enemies, ⟨the daśā is⟩ aniṣṭā ('undesirable'), destroying wealth and health.

नीचाभिमुखस्यावरोहिणी कष्टदा सैव मित्रोच्चराश्यात्मांशगस्य मध्यमा ।

nīcābhimukhasyāvarohiṇī kaṣṭadā saiva mitroccarāśyātmāṃśagasya madhyamā |

Of a graha facing toward its debilitation, ⟨the daśā is⟩ avarohiṇī ('descending'), giving hardship; that same ⟨daśā⟩, when ⟨the graha⟩ stands in a friend's or in an exaltation rāśi and in its own aṃśa, is madhyamā ('middling').

उच्चाभिमुखस्यारोहिणी शुभदा सैव नीचारिभांशगस्याधमाऽल्पशुभदा ।

uccābhimukhasyārohiṇī śubhadā saiva nīcāribhāṃśagasyādhamā'lpaśubhadā |

Of one facing toward its exaltation, ⟨the daśā is⟩ ārohiṇī ('ascending'), giving auspicious results; that same ⟨daśā⟩, when ⟨the graha⟩ stands in the sign or aṃśa of debilitation or of an enemy, is adhamā ('lowest'), giving little that is auspicious.

तुङ्गात्ममित्रभगस्य शत्रुनीचांशगत्वे पूर्वार्द्धे शुभा परार्द्धे मिश्रा।

tuṅgātmamitrabhagasya śatrunīcāṃśagatve pūrvārddhe śubhā parārddhe miśrā|

Of a graha standing in the sign of exaltation, in its own, or in a friend's, when it stands in the aṃśa of an enemy or of debilitation, ⟨the daśā⟩ is auspicious in its first half and mixed in its latter half.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: शुमा in the printed mūla is the OCR's misreading of शुभा (śubhā), 'auspicious'; the paired parārddhe miśrā fixes the sense. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads शुभा; this sentence names शुमा, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

मित्रोच्चात्मस्वत्रिकोणवर्गोत्तमस्ववर्गगस्य शुभा ।

mitroccātmasvatrikoṇavargottamasvavargagasya śubhā |

Of a graha standing in a friend's ⟨sign⟩, in exaltation, in its own ⟨sign⟩, in its own trikoṇa, in vargottama, or in its own varga, ⟨the daśā is⟩ auspicious.

अस्तारिनीचभांशगस्य कष्टा ।

astārinīcabhāṃśagasya kaṣṭā |

Of one combust (asta), or standing in the sign or aṃśa of an enemy or of debilitation, ⟨the daśā is⟩ painful.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: asta here is combustion — setting in the Sun's rays — and not the 7th-bhāva sense the glossary records for the Ṣaṭpañcāśikā; the series it stands in (enemy's sign, debilitation aṃśa) is a series of afflictions of a graha, not of house positions.

अवरोहिण्यधमा चेत् कष्टा ।

avarohiṇyadhamā cet kaṣṭā |

If ⟨a daśā is⟩ avarohiṇī and adhamā, it is painful.

आरोहिणी मध्या चेत् सम्पूर्णा ।

ārohiṇī madhyā cet sampūrṇā |

If ⟨a daśā is⟩ ārohiṇī and madhyā, it is sampūrṇā.

सदृष्टयुतस्याधिकरश्मेः केन्द्रकोणगस्य शुभान्यथा कष्टा ।

sadṛṣṭayutasyādhikaraśmeḥ kendrakoṇagasya śubhānyathā kaṣṭā |

Of a graha aspected and joined by benefics, of abundant rays, standing in a kendra or a trikoṇa, ⟨the daśā is⟩ auspicious; otherwise it is painful.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: sat- in sadṛṣṭiyuta is the benefic class (the aspect and the conjunction are both of benefics); adhikaraśmi is 'having the greater rays', the raśmi reckoning of a graha's strength, kept as 'rays' rather than converted to any modern strength unit.

लग्नदशा चरभेऽङ्गे द्रेष्काणक्रमाच्छ्रेष्ठा मध्याऽधमा द्विस्वभावे व्यत्ययेन स्थिरे नेष्टेष्टसमा।

lagnadaśā carabhe'ṅge dreṣkāṇakramācchreṣṭhā madhyā'dhamā dvisvabhāve vyatyayena sthire neṣṭeṣṭasamā|

The daśā of the lagna: when the aṅga ⟨the lagna⟩ is in a movable sign, ⟨the three daśās are⟩, in the order of the drekkāṇas, best, middling and lowest; in a dual sign, in the reverse order; in a fixed sign, undesirable, desirable and equal.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: क्रमाच्छेष्ठा in the printed mūla is kramāc chreṣṭhā (क्रमाच्छ्रेष्ठा) with the r of श्रे dropped by the scanner. aṅga = the lagna, the same use as aṅgeśa in sūtra 19. The fixed-sign order is given exactly as the mūla has it — neṣṭa, iṣṭa, samā — which is neither the movable order nor its simple reverse. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads द्रेष्काणक्रमाच्छ्रेष्ठा; this sentence names क्रमाच्छेष्ठा, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

वक्रगस्य पाके स्थानमानसौख्याद्यपचयः ।

vakragasya pāke sthānamānasaukhyādyapacayaḥ |

In the pāka ⟨daśā⟩ of a retrograde graha there is decline of position, of honour, of comfort and the rest.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: vakraga is 'retrograde' here, not the graha Mars — the glossary flags वक्र as carrying both senses; -ga ('gone to, being in') settles it as the state, and this chapter names no individual graha.

त्रिकेतरस्य पाकेऽभीष्टसिद्धिः ।

triketarasya pāke'bhīṣṭasiddhiḥ |

In the pāka of a graha other than a lord of the trika ⟨the 6th, 8th and 12th⟩, there is accomplishment of what is desired.

भाङ्गेशरिपुपाके बुद्धिभ्रंशो राजभयं च ।

bhāṅgeśaripupāke buddhibhraṃśo rājabhayaṃ ca |

In the pāka of the enemy of the lord of the aṅga ⟨lagna⟩ sign there is loss of judgement and fear from the king.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: bhāṅgeśa parses as bha-aṅga-īśa, the lord of the aṅga (lagna) rāśi — the same aṅgeśa that sūtra 19 uses; ripu is here the graha that is that lord's enemy. A reading bhāgyeśa (the 9th lord) for भाङ्गेश is graphically available in this OCR, but is not adopted: sūtra 30 treats the 9th lord on its own, and sūtras 19 and 22 show aṅgeśa/lagneśa is this chapter's working term.

राहुयुतस्य दशाऽरिष्टदा ।

rāhuyutasya daśā'riṣṭadā |

The daśā of a graha joined with Rāhu gives ariṣṭa ⟨calamity⟩.

रन्ध्रगाङ्गेशस्य पाकेऽतिपीडा ।

randhragāṅgeśasya pāke'tipīḍā |

In the pāka of the lord of the lagna placed in the randhra ⟨the 8th house⟩, there is extreme affliction.

पापदशायां पापान्तरे शत्रुतोऽर्थहानिर्महाभयम् ।

pāpadaśāyāṃ pāpāntare śatruto'rthahānirmahābhayam |

In the daśā of a malefic, within the antara of a malefic, there is loss of wealth from enemies and great fear.

इष्टाधिकस्य श्रेष्ठा कष्टाधिकस्य नेष्टा समस्य समा ।

iṣṭādhikasya śreṣṭhā kaṣṭādhikasya neṣṭā samasya samā |

Of a graha in which the desirable ⟨indications⟩ preponderate, ⟨the daśā is⟩ best; of one in which the painful preponderate, undesirable; of one in which they are equal, middling.

लग्नेशदशा बलधनदा।

lagneśadaśā baladhanadā|

The daśā of the lord of the lagna gives strength and wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: Sūtras 22–30 run through the lords of the 1st to the 9th bhāvas in order, one sūtra each; that sequence is what identifies the house named in sūtra 24.

धनेशदशा कष्टार्थदा ।

dhaneśadaśā kaṣṭārthadā |

The daśā of the lord of wealth ⟨the 2nd⟩ gives wealth ⟨won⟩ with hardship.

सोत्थपपाके प्रायेण नेष्टफलम् ।

sotthapapāke prāyeṇa neṣṭaphalam |

In the pāka of the lord of the co-born ⟨the 3rd house⟩ the result is generally undesirable.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: सोत्थप is sahottha-pa (सहोत्थप), the lord of the sahottha — the co-born, hence the 3rd bhāva — with ह dropped by the scanner. The -pa form for 'lord' is this chapter's own (cf. mṛtyupa in sūtra 29), and the place in the run of sūtras 22–30 (1st, 2nd, …, 9th) fixes it as the third.

सुखेशपाके गृहादिसुखम् ।

sukheśapāke gṛhādisukham |

In the pāka of the lord of happiness ⟨the 4th⟩ there is the happiness of a house and the rest.

सुतेशदशा विद्यार्थदा ।

suteśadaśā vidyārthadā |

The daśā of the lord of offspring ⟨the 5th⟩ gives learning and wealth.

षष्ठेशदशा रिपुभयदा ।

ṣaṣṭheśadaśā ripubhayadā |

The daśā of the lord of the 6th gives fear from enemies.

The daśā of the lord of the wife ⟨the 7th⟩ gives sorrow.

मृत्युपदशायां मृत्युः ।

mṛtyupadaśāyāṃ mṛtyuḥ |

In the daśā of the lord of death ⟨the 8th⟩, death.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: mṛtyupa is the lord of the mṛtyu bhāva, the 8th. The sūtra has no verb and no qualification: it says death, and is rendered so.

धर्मेशदशायां धर्मक्रिया ।

dharmeśadaśāyāṃ dharmakriyā |

In the daśā of the lord of dharma ⟨the 9th⟩, the performance of dharmic acts.

खेशदशा नृपाश्रयार्थदा ।

kheśadaśā nṛpāśrayārthadā |

The daśā of the lord of the 10th (kheśa) gives royal patronage and wealth.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: ख (kha, 'the sky') is the 10th house; खेश = its lord — a house-synonym, rendered by the house number per GLOSSARY rule 3. नृपाश्रय is literally 'refuge/support of a king', i.e. royal patronage, not kingship itself.

लाभेशदशा लाभदा ।

lābheśadaśā lābhadā |

The daśā of the lord of the 11th (lābha) gives gain.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: लाभ = the 11th house (GLOSSARY: आय / लाभ), and लाभदा puns on it — the house of gain gives gain; the pun is kept by naming the house in both languages.

व्ययेशदशाऽर्थहानिकष्टदा ।

vyayeśadaśā'rthahānikaṣṭadā |

The daśā of the lord of the 12th (vyaya) gives loss of wealth and distress.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: व्यय = the 12th house (GLOSSARY). अर्थहानि is loss of wealth (हानि, not नाश); कष्ट is hardship/distress.

दिग्बलोपेतस्य पाके महाप्रतिष्ठा स्वदिग्भागे ।

digbalopetasya pāke mahāpratiṣṭhā svadigbhāge |

In the daśā (pāka) of a graha possessed of directional strength (dig-bala), ⟨there is⟩ great eminence, in the region of its own direction.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पाक is this work's word for daśā throughout this section (cf. T.36 पाकेश = daśā-lord, T.37–39 पापपाके / शुभपाके). स्वदिग्भागे is ambiguous and is left ambiguous in the Hindi: it reads most naturally as 'in the quarter/region belonging to that graha's own direction' (i.e. the eminence is had in that country or quarter), but 'in the share of its own direction' — the portion of the period — cannot be excluded from the Sanskrit alone.

अन्योन्यषष्ठाष्टमगयोरन्तरे महाभयम् ।

anyonyaṣaṣṭhāṣṭamagayorantare mahābhayam |

Of two ⟨grahas⟩ standing mutually in the 6th and the 8th ⟨from each other⟩, in the antardaśā ⟨of the one within the other's daśā⟩ there is great danger.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अन्तरे here is the technical अन्तर्दशा (sub-period), as T.37–39 and T.47 confirm, not 'in the interval' in the ordinary sense. The dual गयोः is what supplies 'two'; the grahas themselves are unnamed.

पाकेशाधिकगस्य भुक्तौ स्थानच्युतिर्हानिश्च ।

pākeśādhikagasya bhuktau sthānacyutirhāniśca |

In the bhukti of a graha exceeding the daśā lord ⟨in strength⟩, ⟨there is⟩ fall from position, and loss.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पाकेशाधिकगस्य is read as 'of one that goes beyond (अधिक) the lord of the daśā', i.e. exceeds it in strength — the sense अधिक carries at T.48 (सर्वाधिकबलः). A positional reading ('placed beyond the daśā lord') is grammatically open; the Hindi keeps अधिक untranslated so that both survive. भुक्ति = the sub-period. स्थानच्युति is displacement from one's place or office.

पापपाके शुभान्तरे आदौ कष्टं ततः सुखम् ।

pāpapāke śubhāntare ādau kaṣṭaṃ tataḥ sukham |

In a malefic's daśā with a benefic's antardaśā, hardship at first, then happiness.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: पाप / शुभ rendered malefic / auspicious-benefic per GLOSSARY; here शुभ names the class of graha, so 'benefic'.

शुभपाके शुभान्तरे सुखम् ।

śubhapāke śubhāntare sukham |

In a benefic's daśā with a benefic's antardaśā, happiness.

शुभपाके पापान्तरे आदौ सुखं ततो भयम् ।

śubhapāke pāpāntare ādau sukhaṃ tato bhayam |

In a benefic's daśā with a malefic's antardaśā, happiness at first, then danger.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: भय is fear/danger; the sūtra ends harder than its mirror T.37 ends soft — T.37 closes with सुख, this one with भय, and the asymmetry is the text's own.

दशान्तर्दशाप्रवेशे सलग्नाः खेटाः स्फुटाः कार्याः ।

daśāntardaśāpraveśe salagnāḥ kheṭāḥ sphuṭāḥ kāryāḥ |

At the entry into a daśā and an antardaśā, the grahas together with the lagna are to be computed exactly.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: खेट is a synonym for ग्रह. स्फुटाः कार्याः = 'are to be made exact' — the technical instruction to compute the true (sphuṭa) longitudes for the moment of entry. This sūtra sets up the praveśa figure that T.41–46 then judge.

तत्रपाकेशे वा शुभे लग्नोपचयगे दशा श्रेष्ठा ।

tatrapākeśe vā śubhe lagnopacayage daśā śreṣṭhā |

There, if the daśā lord, or a benefic, occupies an upacaya from the lagna, the daśā is excellent.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: तत्र refers back to the entry figure of T.40. उपचय = the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th, reckoned from the lagna. लग्नोपचयगे can also be split 'in the lagna or an upacaya'; the compound as printed reads more naturally as the upacayas OF the lagna, and the Hindi (लग्न से उपचय) keeps that.

अङ्गे पाकपमित्रवर्गे वा शुभवर्गे दशा शुभा ।

aṅge pākapamitravarge vā śubhavarge daśā śubhā |

If the lagna (aṅga) falls in the varga of a friend of the daśā lord, or in a benefic's varga, the daśā is auspicious.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: अङ्ग ('body') is the 1st house / lagna — a house-synonym, glossed rather than rendered literally. वर्ग is left as varga (a divisional sign).

प्रवेशे स्वर्क्षगे चन्द्रे मानार्थसुखं सिंहेऽन्नसुखं भौमभे कलहर्णं ज्ञभे विद्यार्थाप्तिर्जीवभे कृषिमानार्थसुखं शुक्रभे कुदारमानयशोर्थाप्तिर्मन्दभे सेवा।

praveśe svarkṣage candre mānārthasukhaṃ siṃhe'nnasukhaṃ bhaumabhe kalaharṇaṃ jñabhe vidyārthāptirjīvabhe kṛṣimānārthasukhaṃ śukrabhe kudāramānayaśorthāptirmandabhe sevā|

At the entry: the Moon in its own sign — honour, wealth and happiness; in Leo — the happiness of food; in Mars's sign — quarrel and debt; in Mercury's (jña) sign — the gaining of learning and wealth; in Jupiter's (jīva) sign — agriculture, honour, wealth and happiness; in Venus's sign — a bad wife, honour, fame and the gaining of wealth; in Saturn's (manda) sign — service.

2 notes on this verse
  • About this edition: SOURCE MARKUP DEFECT, recovered: in the e-text this sūtra's opening does not match the shape the other 2,269 use — the Sanskrit is set as running text with no emphasis, unlike every other sūtra. The aphorism itself is complete and its number legible, so nothing was emended; this is recorded only so that a reader comparing our text against the file is not left to work out why that line looked different. A parse that required the tidy shape would have dropped this sūtra and left a hole indistinguishable from a number the edition never printed.
  • About this edition: The list runs through all seven graha-lords in order (Moon's own = Cancer, then Leo named by the sign itself, then Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) — that regular series is what identifies the two textual points here. (1) भौममे is printed for भौमभे: every other member of the series ends -भे (ज्ञभे, जीवभे, शुक्रभे, मन्दभे), so म is a scanner misreading of भ; translated as 'in Mars's sign' and NOT emended in the mūla. (2) कुदार- ('a bad wife') is translated as printed and kept harsh; a Venus item reading सुदार ('a good wife') would fit the surrounding boons better, and क/स is a plausible OCR confusion — but the printing is what we have and the reading is not invented away. कलहर्णं = कलह + ऋण (quarrel and debt). Also carries the edition's declared markup defect: this sūtra alone is set as running text with no emphasis; the aphorism and its number are complete and nothing was emended. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भौमभे; this sentence names भौममे, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

त्रिकेतरस्थे सबले चन्द्रे दशा श्रेष्ठा ।

triketarasthe sabale candre daśā śreṣṭhā |

The Moon standing elsewhere than in a trika, and strong — the daśā is excellent.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: त्रिक = the 6th, 8th and 12th houses; इतर = other than. सबल = possessed of strength.

मुख्यदशेशोच्चमित्रस्वभस्थः सन् दशेशाधिष्ठितराशित उपचयत्रिकोणास्तगश्चेच्चन्द्रः शुभफलदोऽन्यथा नेष्टः ।

mukhyadaśeśoccamitrasvabhasthaḥ san daśeśādhiṣṭhitarāśita upacayatrikoṇāstagaśceccandraḥ śubhaphalado'nyathā neṣṭaḥ |

If the Moon, standing in the exaltation, friend's or own sign of the lord of the principal daśā, is placed in an upacaya, a trikoṇa or the 7th (asta) from the sign occupied by the daśā lord, it gives auspicious results; otherwise it is not desirable.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: मुख्यदशा = the principal (major) daśā, as against the अन्तर्दशा of T.35–39. अस्त = the 7th, the setting place (GLOSSARY). उच्च = exalted (GLOSSARY: never 'high'). नेष्टः = 'not desired', i.e. inauspicious — rendered at its plain weight, not softened.

चन्द्राधिष्ठितो राशिर्जन्मनि यद्भावगस्तद्भावोत्थं शुभमशुभं वा ज्ञेयम् ।

candrādhiṣṭhito rāśirjanmani yadbhāvagastadbhāvotthaṃ śubhamaśubhaṃ vā jñeyam |

Whichever bhāva the sign occupied by the Moon falls in at birth, the auspicious or inauspicious ⟨result⟩ arising from that bhāva is to be known.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: The sign meant is the one the Moon occupies in the entry figure of T.40; जन्मनि locates the judgement in the birth chart — the entry Moon's sign is read as a bhāva of the natal figure. भाव = house (GLOSSARY).

रिपुयुक् पापस्य पापदशान्तरे विपत् ।

ripuyuk pāpasya pāpadaśāntare vipat |

In the daśā-antardaśā of a malefic joined with an enemy, calamity.

1 note on this verse
  • About this edition: रिपूयुक् is printed with a long ū where रिपुयुक् would be expected — an akṣara-level slip of the kind this e-text is declared to carry; the sense is unaffected. The parse is open: रिपूयुक् (nom. sg.) with पापस्य read as the genitive of the daśā-owner gives 'a malefic joined with an enemy' (taken here, and the standard doctrine); taking पापस्य with रिपु gives instead '⟨a graha⟩ joined with the enemy OF the malefic'. The Hindi (शत्रु से युक्त पाप ग्रह) holds the first without excluding the second, since युक् stays unattached to a subject. युक् = joined/conjunct (GLOSSARY). [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads रिपुयुक्; this sentence names रिपूयुक्, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-20 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

विपत्कर्तृदशारम्भे सर्वाधिकबलः कोऽपि सद्वर्गगः शुभमित्रदृष्टश्चेन्न विपत् ।

vipatkartṛdaśārambhe sarvādhikabalaḥ ko'pi sadvargagaḥ śubhamitradṛṣṭaścenna vipat |

At the commencement of the daśā of the ⟨graha⟩ that causes the calamity, if any ⟨graha⟩ whatever of the greatest strength of all is placed in a good varga and is aspected by a benefic ⟨or by⟩ a friend, there is no calamity.

  • About this edition: UNNUMBERED TEXT OF THE WORK, printed after this sūtra and carried in this note rather than as a sūtra of its own because it bears no number and a number may not be invented (an aphorism in sūtra form, with its own translation, printed after T.48 and carrying NO number): “जन्माङ्गचन्द्रान्यतरतश्चारवशेनोपचयगो ग्रहश्चेन्मित्रोच्चमूलत्रिकोणाश्रितोऽष्टवर्गजं शुभं पूर्णमशुभं स्वल्पं दिशति, अन्यथा नेष्टं पूर्णं शुभं स्वल्पं, तत्रापि तारतम्यात् कथनीयम् ।”
  • About this edition: UNNUMBERED TEXT OF THE WORK, printed after this sūtra and carried in this note rather than as a sūtra of its own because it bears no number and a number may not be invented (first of the two unnumbered benedictory verses closing the work): “अनुभूतिप्रदं नाम ज्यौतिषं शास्त्रमुत्तमम् । निगमान्निर्गतं लोकवन्धं विजयतेतराम् ॥”
  • About this edition: UNNUMBERED TEXT OF THE WORK, printed after this sūtra and carried in this note rather than as a sūtra of its own because it bears no number and a number may not be invented (second of the two unnumbered benedictory verses closing the work): “जैमिन्याद्युक्तितः सारं नवनीतमिवोद्धतम् । महादेवेन विदुषा स्वादयन्तु सुबुद्धयः ॥”
  • About this edition: The printing closes this section with its colophon, which carries no number and so is not a sūtra: “॥ इति महादेवकृतजातकतत्वे दशातत्वं पञ्चमम् ॥” · “॥ समाप्तश्चायं ग्रन्थः ॥”
  • About this edition: This is the cancelling rule for T.47 (and for the calamity sūtras generally): विपत्कर्तृ- 'the maker of the calamity' names the graha of the preceding sūtra. कोऽपि = 'any whatever', deliberately unrestricted. शुभमित्रदृष्ट is a dvandva left open — aspected by a benefic and/or by a friend — and neither language resolves it. दृष्ट = aspected (GLOSSARY). This sūtra ends the Daśā-tattva and the work; what the printing sets after it (one unnumbered aphorism with its own translation, two benedictory verses and the colophon) carries no number and is therefore no sūtra, so it is not rendered here.
