Thus the eighty-four yogas, written down after consulting other śāstras. Now, next, the chapter of royal yogas is set down. When the ascendant and the lord of the ascendant are endowed with strength of body, and the kendras and trines are auspicious, [that chart] — whether of a query, of a birth, of a marriage, of a journey or of a tilaka (an anointing ceremony) — surely makes a king. Garga and the rest declare such a man to be of good conduct, endowed with wealth, [gajaruja], furnished with a pearl-sewn parasol, and a man of splendour even though sprung from a low family.
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "विवाहह्यानतिलेकुकुर्यात्"; alternatives "विवाहेह्यानतिलेकुकुर्यात्", "विवाहह्यानतिलेकुकुर्यात्" — WEAK. वि-वा-ह-ह्या-न-ति-ले-कु-कु-र्या-त् at 4.8x, unbroken and not dividing into words. [2026-09-19: the mūla now reads विवाहयानतिलके for विवाहह्यानतिलेकु, corrected in the mūla verification of 2026-09-19 (see the revisions row of that pass on this verse); this note describes the earlier text.]
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सुक्तातपत्रान्वितं"; alternatives "मुक्तातपत्रान्वितं" — The first letter is स, not म, at 4.8x. मुक्तातपत्र (a pearl-sewn parasol) is the expected regalia; recorded as printed. [2026-09-19: the mūla now reads मुक्तातपत्रान्वितं for सुक्तातपत्रान्वितं, corrected in the mūla verification of 2026-09-19 (see the revisions row of that pass on this verse); this note describes the earlier text.]
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गजरुजं"; alternatives "गजरुचं", "गजरुजं" — ग-ज-रु-जं at 4.8x; गजरुज ('elephant-sickness') does not fit a list of royal splendours.
- About this edition: Two words are recorded as printed and are not translated on their surface sense. The plate reads suktātapatra where muktātapatra (a pearl-sewn parasol, royal regalia) is expected — translated on the expected word. And gajarujaṃ, 'elephant-sickness', does not fit a list of royal splendours; it is left in brackets. The middle of the first line (vivāhahyānatilekukuryāt) is marked WEAK by the reader and does not divide into words; the rendering follows the sense of what stands around it.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads सुक्तातपत्रान्वितं. A reader dividing this verse judged मुक्तातपत्रान्वितं the likely intent — the English on this verse already reads 'furnished with a pearl-sewn parasol' — muktā-ātapatra; सुक्ता is not a word, while मुक्ता ('pearl') is the standard first member of this compound, and स/म are close in this fount.. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made. Recorded so the question is adjudicated rather than absorbed. [2026-09-19: the mūla now reads मुक्तातपत्रान्वितं for सुक्तातपत्रान्वितं, corrected in the mūla verification of 2026-09-19 (see the revisions row of that pass on this verse); this note describes the earlier text.]
एकः शुक्रो जननसमये लाभसंस्थे च केन्द्रे जातो वै जन्मराशौ यदि सहजगते प्राप्यते वै त्रिकोणे ॥ ॥ विद्याविज्ञानयुक्तो भवति नरपतिर् विश्वविख्यातकीर्तिर् दानी मानी च शूरो हयगुणसहितः सद्द्विजैः सेव्यमानः

If Venus alone at the time of birth stands in the eleventh, or in a kendra, or in the birth-sign itself, or has gone to the third, or is found in a trine — the man becomes endowed with learning and understanding, a ruler of men whose fame is known throughout the world, liberal, self-respecting, brave, possessed of fine horses, and waited on by good brahmins.

When the lord of the tenth house — the pothis print दशमुखभुवननाथः, which yields no construction, where the edition family reads दशमभवननाथे and gives this sense (see this verse's doubt) — is in a kendra, in a trine or in the house of wealth, strong and mighty in their conveyances and upon fine thrones — he becomes a lord of men of world-renowned fame, waited upon by worthy brāhmaṇas whose cheeks run with rut.
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "नीमानीचशूरो"; alternatives "नीमानीशूरो", "दानीमानीचशूरो" — The line opens mid-word from दा at the end of line 6 (दानी-मानी 'liberal, proud'); read at 3.6x.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "बलिपातिबलयानेप्रस्तासिंहासनेषु"; alternatives "बलिपातिबलयानेप्रशस्तासिंहासनेषु" — Read at 3.6x only; प्रस्ता does not divide cleanly. [2026-09-19: the mūla now reads बलिपति for बलिपाति, corrected in the mūla verification of 2026-09-19 (see the revisions row of that pass on this verse); this note describes the earlier text.] [UPDATED 2026-09-19 (mūla-accuracy T8b): the बलिपाति read here at 3.6× is corrected to बलिपति against this print, on the second reading (A2 p.102 line 7), both 1904 files and Anup's पूर्वपाठ.]
- About this edition: 'whose cheeks run with rut' (madagalitakapolaiḥ) describes elephants, not brāhmaṇas; the plate reads saddvijaiḥ ('worthy twice-born') where saddvipaiḥ ('fine elephants') would give the sense the epithet requires. Both are carried in the rendering. The run 'balipātibalayāneprastāsiṃhāsaneṣu' was read at 3.6x only and does not divide cleanly.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads प्रस्तासिंहासनेषु. A reader dividing this verse judged प्रशस्तसिंहासनेषु the likely intent — the English reads 'upon fine thrones' — praśasta-siṃhāsaneṣu; प्रस्ता is not a word and the syllable count is unchanged by the correction.. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made. Recorded so the question is adjudicated rather than absorbed.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads कपोलैसद्द्विजैः. A reader dividing this verse judged कपोलैःसद्द्विजैः the likely intent — the instrumental plural is कपोलैः ('by brāhmaṇas whose cheeks run with rut', as the English renders); a bare कपोलै is not a form, and this is a 1-bit scan that loses visargas.. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made. Recorded so the question is adjudicated rather than absorbed.

Even one [benefic] in a kendra house, or in the ninth or the fifth — radiant (bhāsvān), whose rays have made every quarter of the sky pure — takes away every blemish without remainder, and makes the native auspiciously born, long-lived, and free from disease and fear.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "मयुखा"; alternatives "मयूखा" — Short ु on the यु at 3.6x; मयूख ('ray') wants ū. [2026-09-23: this sentence names मयुखा, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-19 corrected it (see the verse's revisions for what it reads now), and it is kept as history.]

When the Moon aspects the Sun and Mercury aspects the lord of night (the Moon), one born in this yoga becomes a lord of the earth.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "पश्येन्निशापतित्"; alternatives "पश्येन्निशापतिम्" — A त् with virāma closes the word at 3.6x where the accusative निशापतिम् is wanted.

- About this edition: The plate closes niśāpati with त् and a virāma where the accusative niśāpatim is wanted.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads पश्येन्निशापतित्. A reader dividing this verse judged पश्येन्निशापतिम् the likely intent — the object of पश्येत् must stand in the accusative, निशापतिम् — the English reads 'Mercury aspects the lord of night'; निशापतित् is not a form, and त्/म् confuse in this fount.. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made. Recorded so the question is adjudicated rather than absorbed.

If the lord of night (the Moon) himself is in a kendra, he gives a beloved wife, beautiful and bearing sons; he brings about abundance of wealth and gold, with rubies, diamonds and gems, and makes the native one whose limbs are anointed with sandal and who is given to the hunt.

He who has Venus, he who has Mercury, he who has Jupiter in a kendra, and he who has Mars in the tenth — that native is the lamp of his family.
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "दशमोंगारकोयस्य"; alternatives "दशमेऽङ्गारकोयस्य", "दशमोऽङ्गारकोयस्य" — No avagraha inked; the nasal is a free anusvāra, not the subscript ङ्ग the word अङ्गारक would carry (compare ताङ्गम् at the head of this same line, which IS set with ङ्ग).
- About this edition: No avagraha is inked at daśamo'ṅgārako, and the nasal is a free anusvāra rather than the subscript ङ्ग that aṅgāraka takes elsewhere on this very line.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads दशमोंगारकोयस्य. A reader dividing this verse judged दशमेऽङ्गारकोयस्य the likely intent — the English reads 'he who has Mars in the tenth' — daśame'ṅgārakaḥ. गारक is not a word (Mars is अङ्गारक), and the sense requires the locative दशमे; the printing has an anusvāra where the ligature ङ्ग stood and ो for े. The syllable count is unchanged (8).. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made.

If there is one in a kendra (kendrī) in the Daitya's corner (daitya-koṇa) of Mercury — our mūla reads केन्द्री दैत्यकोणे बुधस्य, and which planet and which corner this names is not settled — the man born is rich in horses, chariots, men and elephants, and in jewels and fine produce; a dweller by the sea-shore, whose grain is worth as much as jewels; beloved indeed of many people, and a speaker of truth.

- About this edition: kila and iṣṭā are set as separate words with no sandhi. The compound 'kendrādityakoṇe budhasya' admits other divisions than the one translated.

- About this edition: The plate reads 'suraraja-ṇurodhāḥ' with a clear cerebral णु, where anurodha ('compliance, favour') would want a dental न and an ā; the phrase, which appears to qualify the single planet as favoured by Indra, does not construe and is not translated. No avagraha is inked at eko'pi.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads सुरराजणुरोधाः. A reader dividing this verse judged सुरराजपुरोधाः the likely intent — sura-rāja-purodhāḥ, 'the chaplain of the king of the gods', is a standard epithet of Jupiter and gives the 11 syllables the Upajāti pāda needs; णुरोधाः is not a word, and the translator could not construe it — the English falls back to the bracketed '[benefic]'.. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made. Recorded so the question is adjudicated rather than absorbed.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कामिनीनासकलजन"; alternatives "कामिनीनांसकलजन" — No anusvāra visible on the ना at 3.7x, where the genitive plural कामिनीनां is wanted.
- About this edition: No anusvāra is visible on kāminīnā where the genitive plural kāminīnāṃ is wanted. The word vihāya ('having abandoned') stands after dīrghajanmā and does not construe; it is not translated.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads कामिनीनासकल. A reader dividing this verse judged कामिनीनांसकल the likely intent — the genitive plural कामिनीनां is required — the English reads 'beloved of women'; कामिनीना is not a form, and the anusvāra is lost (this is a 1-bit scan and drops them). The Mālinī count of 15 is unaffected.. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made.

- About this edition: The plate prints śaro with a short a; śūro ('brave'), which fits the list beside dhanavān and prājñaḥ, is what is translated.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads प्राज्ञःशरोमंत्री.

When Jupiter is in a kendra, the man is full of the fortune that rests upon heavenly women, choice gold and fine garments; he [takes to] śāstra, to spectacle, song and dance and the relish of them, and is a master (guru) of trade and of initiation; he is surrounded by sons, brothers and people, of steady mind, an active doer, filled with great affection, happy in himself, and a doer of good deeds.

He whose Moon, the giver of birth, is in its own house or in its own navāṃśa, and whose benefics are born in the kendras, while those called malefics are wholly deprived of strength — he becomes a lord of men, the equal of Indra in power.

- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 6; it is published at position 16. Numbering here is reconstructed by position because this printing's numerals are the corruption that got its OCR refused.
- About this edition: This entry is a FRAGMENT, not a complete verse: the plate breaks off after the words 'standing in an upacaya house' and the single figure 3. The upacaya houses are then given as four Devanagari numerals separated by daṇḍas — ३ । ६ । १० । ११ (the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th) — which run on into the next entry. Nothing beyond this has been supplied. The printing numbers this verse 6; it is published at position 16.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "३ । ६ । १० । ११"; alternatives "३ ६ १० ११" — Four Devanagari figures separated by single daṇḍas open the line — the upacaya houses named in the previous line's उपचयगृहसंस्थो, given as numerals. Kept exactly, separators included.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "केंद्रजातश्च"; alternatives "केंद्रजातश्व" — The श-ligature can close its lower counter and read as श्व; it is श्च — the same glyph carries a forced च wherever context decides on these plates, and no certain श्व occurs.

- About this edition: MERGED 2026-09-19 (mūla-accuracy T8b): this record and the one that followed it were one printed verse. The 1903 plate 103 lines 6–7 set उपचयगृहसंस्थो at the foot of line 6 and ३।६।१०।११ जन्मदो यस्य चंद्रः at the head of line 7 — the four upacaya houses as an inline figure gloss. Our keying broke the list at ६ and read that ६ as this record's verse number, so the verse stood as a fragment (उपचयगृहसंस्थो ३, printed ६) and a remainder (१० । ११ जन्मदो …, printed १६). The two are joined here, the missing ६ restored, and the record takes the verse's own printed number, १६. The record that held the remainder is removed; no other verse number moves, so 18 to 103 keep their addresses.

When Venus (sita) stands in Pisces: resplendent with learning, the arts and good qualities, enjoying the pleasures of the wish-granting cow, he surpasses even the king of desire through his young women; he obtains lordship over countries, cities, towns and the wealth of elephants, with consecrations (dīkṣā) shining through the whole realm (maṇḍala).

When Rāhu is in Aries or Virgo — in the seventh (the house of desire), or in the sixth or eighth, or in a kendra or trine, or gone to the twelfth — the native is lustful, brave, strong and an enjoyer; he has elephants, horses and a parasol, and many sons.

When Rāhu is in Leo (mṛgapati, 'lord of beasts'), Taurus, Virgo or Cancer, the native has abundant wealth, or becomes lord of a kingdom of kings; he is learned in horses, elephants, men, boats and land (medinī), and becomes the lamp of his family — such is Rāhu exalted, for men.

Venus (the son of Bhṛgu), Jupiter (honoured by the gods) and the Moon standing in a kendra bring men much comfort and increase of wealth, to be won by their own action. When the Sun's son (Saturn) and the Moon's son (Mercury), and the Sun and Jupiter, are in a trine, and the earth's son (Mars) is in the tenth, these are declared to be royal yogas.

Three are certain at 3.7x and above — राजयोगोऽत्र (line 4), शुक्रोऽथ (line 8), योगोऽभिधीयते (line 10) — where most of these plates leave the elision unmarked. Their presence here is evidence about the compositor, and it makes each UNMARKED elision elsewhere a deliberate reading rather than a lost mark.

If the cool-rayed one (the Moon) is in the eleventh or in a trine, he assuredly makes the native the equal of a king — a ruler of men who gives joy to both families; for moonlight is a lamp that destroys darkness.

- About this edition: The word before nāyakaḥ is printed saṇumān, which is not a recognisable word; the reader records that the SAME unresolved form is set identically on another plate, which makes a compositor's slip less likely and a real but unrecognised reading more so. 'endowed with good qualities' is bracketed as a guess from the rivals guṇavān / sagunavān and should not be relied on. An anusvāra also stands on the ौ of budhasūryauṃ, where the dual needs none. The printing numbers this verse 26; it is published at position 27. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads बुधसूर्यौ; this sentence names budhasūryauṃ, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-19 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads बुधसूर्यौंच. A reader dividing this verse judged बुधसूर्यौच the likely intent — the dual nominative is सूर्यौ, which takes no anusvāra; the English reads 'Mercury and the Sun in the tenth', a plain dual paired with भौमराहू in the next pāda, which is printed without one.. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made. Recorded so the question is adjudicated rather than absorbed. [2026-09-19: the mūla now reads बुधसूर्यौ for बुधसूर्यौं, corrected in the mūla verification of 2026-09-19 (see the revisions row of that pass on this verse); this note describes the earlier text.]

- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads योगेससुत्पन्नो. A reader dividing this verse judged योगेसमुत्पन्नो the likely intent — सुत्पन्न is not a word; the English reads 'the man born in this yoga' — samutpanno. The correction leaves the eight syllables of the pāda untouched, and the same phrase is printed identically at 185.66..

- About this edition: This plate does ink its avagrahas — the reader verified three at 3.7× and above, शुक्रोऽथ here among them — which matters for the whole chapter: where an elision is left UNMARKED elsewhere on these plates it is a deliberate setting, not a lost mark, and the verses that turn on one (see position 35) must be read accordingly.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सराजाधनवर्जितः"; alternatives "सराजाऽधनवर्जितः", "सराजाधनवर्जितः" — No avagraha inked. The reading matters: धनवर्जितः is 'destitute of wealth', which contradicts सराजा; अधनवर्जितः would reverse it. Recorded exactly as printed.
- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 34; it is published at position 35. Numbering here is reconstructed by position because this printing's numerals are the corruption that got its OCR refused.
- About this edition: The reading decides the verse and the plate does not help. As printed, सराजा धनवर्जितः says he is a king yet without wealth — which sits oddly beside 'giver' and 'enjoyer' in the next line; the recorded alternative अधनवर्जितः would reverse it to 'not without wealth'. No avagraha is inked, and on this plate that is evidence (see position 34), so the printed reading is translated. A reviewer must settle it before this verse is quoted.

Venus in Pisces, Mercury at the end [the twelfth], Rāhu in the second (dhana), the Sun in the first (tanu), and Mars in the third (sahaja) — this is declared a rājayoga.

- About this edition: अन्ते is taken as the last house, the twelfth, on the strength of the house-names around it (dhana, tanu, sahaja); the word could also mean the end of a sign, which would make it a degree condition rather than a house. The bracket marks the choice.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads भवेतस्य. A reader dividing this verse judged भवेत्तस्य the likely intent — the sentence needs the optative भवेत् before तस्य — the English reads 'then kingship is certain for him'; भवेतस्य is not a form, and the virāma with the doubled त has dropped out across the break the printing sets here (it prints 'भवे तस्य').. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made. Recorded so the question is adjudicated rather than absorbed. [2026-09-19: the mūla now reads भवेत्तस्य for भवेतस्य, corrected in the mūla verification of 2026-09-19 (see the revisions row of that pass on this verse); this note describes the earlier text.]

- About this edition: The long ā of चाजितेंद्रियः requires च + अजितेन्द्रियः, so the printed text really does say his senses are UNCONQUERED; had the compositor meant जितेन्द्रियः the sandhi would have been चजितेंद्रियः. The tension with तपस्वी ('ascetic') is the text's, not the translation's.

- About this edition: A word जीवि stands immediately after सिंह and does not construe in a list of signs; if it is जीव (Jupiter) the first item would be 'Jupiter in Leo' rather than Leo among the signs, which would change what the rule requires. It is left out of the translated list and flagged here rather than guessed at. The reader separately confirms the श्च ligature in कीटश्चापेषु, where the three signs Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius force the reading. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads सिंहे जीवस्; this sentence names जीवि, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-19 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]

- About this edition: The endings do not agree in this verse — धरासुताः and युताः are plural where single planets are named — so which planets share which house is not fully determined by the ink. The two pairings translated (Venus with the Moon in the fourth; the Sun with Saturn) are the reading the word order supports; Mars's house is not separately stated.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads भवतिनिश्चतम्. A reader dividing this verse judged भवतिनिश्चितम् the likely intent — निश्चतम् is not a word; the English reads 'he assuredly becomes a king' — niścitam, which this very chapter prints correctly at 185.29 and 185.90. The i-mātrā is lost across the break the printing sets here ('निश्च तम्').. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made.

- About this edition: The second line is compressed and its syntax is not certain: यदि कोपि नृपैः समः could attach to the native ('though he himself equals kings', as translated) or to the brother ('if any [brother] lives, he is the equal of kings'), which would reverse the verse from a denial of brothers into a promise about them. No avagraha is inked in कोपि, which on this plate is a deliberate setting.

A reader dividing this verse judged विजानीयाज्जातस् the likely intent — the optative विजानीयात् is required ('one should know this a rājayoga', as the English renders), and before जातः it assimilates to विजानीयाज्जातः; विजानीया is not a form.

- About this edition: Venus is named twice and in two different houses — the second and the tenth — which no chart can satisfy. The verse is translated as printed; one of the two occurrences must be a corruption, and the yoga cannot be applied until a second witness says which. [UPDATED 2026-09-19 (mūla-accuracy T8b): the second witness this note waits for is the 1904 Veṅkaṭeśvara printing, which reads सौम्य, Mercury, in the second house in both its files (p.109, collation p.158.55) with six editions; the first of the two occurrences of Venus was the corruption, the mūla is corrected to सौम्यश् च, and the yoga can be applied.]

- About this edition: As at position 55, Venus is named twice in two houses — शुक्र in the tenth and भार्गव in the eleventh — which no chart can satisfy. Translated as printed; one occurrence must be corrupt, and the yoga should not be applied until that is settled.
कर्मस्थाने यदा जीवो बुधः शुक्रस् तथा शशी ॥ सर्वकर्माणि सिद्ध्यंति राजमान्यो भवेन् नरः

5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "पंचमेचपदाषष्ठे"; alternatives "पंचमेचपदाषष्ठे", "पंचमेचपदेषष्ठे" — प-दा at 3.6x with a full ā; the word does not construe in the list of houses.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सिताकाःस्युर्"; alternatives "सिताकीःस्युर्", "सिताकौस्युर्" — सि-ता-काः at 3.6x. सित (Venus) and अर्क (Sun) are the planets the verse is listing.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "चंद्रश्चाष्टमे"; alternatives "चंद्रश्वाष्टमे" — The श-ligature can close its lower counter and read as श्व; it is श्च — the same glyph carries a forced च wherever context decides (here दुश्चिक्य in line 11, the third house), and no certain श्व occurs on these plates.

- About this edition: The four planets (Mars, Rāhu, sita = Venus, arka = the Sun) match the four houses (5th, 6th, 8th, 9th) named, and krama ('in order') pairs them one to one; that is what is rendered. But पदा standing after 'in the 5th' does not construe in a list of houses, and सिताकाः is itself uncertain at magnification, so the pairing is a reconstruction and not a settled reading.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "जायतेऽत्र"; alternatives "जायतेत्र" — AN AVAGRAHA IS INKED, clear at 3.6x. THIS PLATE INKS AVAGRAHAS — जायतेऽत्र (line 3) and नरेंद्रोऽथ (line 12) are both certain at 3.6x. So each UNMARKED elision on the same plate is the compositor's choice, not a lost mark.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शाशिना"; alternatives "शशिना" — A full ā-stroke on the first श at 3.6x, as in शाशिनि on p.94 lines 2 and 3. The plate spells this word with ā more than once, so it is the compositor's habit and not a one-off.

- About this edition: This verse is only the condition; its result is verse 66, and the two must be read as one rule. The plate spells शाशिना with a long ā, which the reader confirms is this compositor's habit and not a slip.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads शाशिनायुक्तो. A reader dividing this verse judged शशिनायुक्तो the likely intent — the instrumental of शशिन् ('joined with the Moon', as the English reads) is शशिना; शाशिन् is not a word, and the ā-mātrā on the first syllable is stray.. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made. Recorded so the question is adjudicated rather than absorbed.

- About this edition: uccābhilāṣaka — 'desiring exaltation' — is the technical term for a planet still approaching its exaltation degree; it is rendered rather than modernised. The plate sets राजास्याच्छनपूरितः; धनपूरितः ('filled with wealth') is what the sense wants and would need a द्ध, so the last word is an emendation.

- About this edition: This is the continuation of verse 71. भुवनत्यागी is ambiguous between 'renouncer of the world' and 'munificent throughout the world'; 'a giver famed in the world' is rendered because the rest of the line is a list of worldly good fortune, but the ascetic reading is equally available on the letters.

THIS PLATE INKS AVAGRAHAS — जायतेऽत्र (line 3) and नरेंद्रोऽथ (line 12) are both certain at 3.6x. So each UNMARKED elision on the same plate is the compositor's choice, not a lost mark.

- About this edition: मेषको is read as मेषगो ('in Aries'), a ka for ga; and जीवशुक्रो is a singular-looking form where a dual (जीवशुक्रौ) is required for the two planets. Both are the printing's, not emendations of sense — but the sign in which Jupiter and Venus stand rests on that ka/ga reading. Neither elision in दासवंशेपि जातोसौ is marked, on a plate that inks avagrahas elsewhere.

- About this edition: सणुमान् is the reader's fourth encounter with this same unresolved word on these plates, set identically every time — four identical settings rule out a compositor's slip, so the printing genuinely reads something we cannot parse. 'Men of good qualities' renders the alternatives सगुणमान्/सगुणवान्; the epithet is not secure. [2026-10-02: the mūla now reads स पुमान् for स णुमान्, on the lexicon, as both pothis read it (1903 p.106, 1904 p.110, machine reads) and as at 185.27 and 185.56.

Four identical settings rule out a compositor's slip. [2026-10-02: this note belongs to verse 76, whose close shares this plate line; this verse holds no such word. At verse 76 the word is ruled in this pass: स पुमान्, 'that man', as both pothis read it, the stock pāda of these plates.]
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "दुश्चिक्य"; alternatives "दुश्विक्य" — The श-ligature can close its lower counter and read as श्व; it is श्च — the same glyph carries a forced च wherever context decides (here दुश्चिक्य in line 11, the third house), and no certain श्व occurs on these plates. दुश्चिक्य is the third house, the same term that opens p.104.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "चतुर्ग्रहैरकगृहे"; alternatives "चतुर्ग्रहैरर्कगृहे", "चतुर्ग्रहैरेकगृहे" — र-क at 3.6x with no repha; एकगृहे ('in one house') fits four planets together.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "पासश्चजातः"; alternatives "पाशश्चजातः", "पासश्वजातः" — पा-स at 3.6x; the pāśa yoga (five planets) is spelled पाश elsewhere in this chapter.
- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 76; it is published at position 77. Numbering here is reconstructed by position because this printing's numerals are the corruption that got its OCR refused.
- About this edition: The pāśa yoga is elsewhere a five-planet configuration, and this verse says four; the reader also could not settle पास/पाश, so both the name and the count should be checked on the plate. चतुर्ग्रहैरकगृहे is read as एकगृहे ('in one house'), which four planets together require; the plate shows र-क with no repha. दुश्चिक्य is the 3rd house, the same term that opens the preceding plate.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads चतुर्ग्रहैरकगृहे. A reader dividing this verse judged चतुर्ग्रहैरेकगृहे the likely intent — the English reads 'four planets standing together in one house' — ekagṛhe, with चतुर्ग्रहैः + एकगृहे giving चतुर्ग्रहैरेकगृहे; अकगृह is not a word, and the e-mātrā is lost. The Upajāti count of 11 is unchanged.. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made.

6 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "नरेंद्रोऽथ"; alternatives "नरेंद्रोथ" — AN AVAGRAHA IS INKED, clear at 3.6x. THIS PLATE INKS AVAGRAHAS — जायतेऽत्र (line 3) and नरेंद्रोऽथ (line 12) are both certain at 3.6x. So each UNMARKED elision on the same plate is the compositor's choice, not a lost mark.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "केंद्रजातोथशोषिः"; alternatives "केंद्रजातोऽथशोषिः", "केंद्रजातोऽथशौरिः" — NO avagraha here, on the same line as one that IS inked. शोषिः does not construe.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "ससमुद्रपारगः"; alternatives "ससमुद्रपारगः", "समुद्रपारगः" — A doubled स at 3.6x, as in ससुत्पन्नो / ससमुत्पन्नो elsewhere on these plates — the compositor doubles स before a स-initial word more than once.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "स्थैर्यंस्यजन्मत्रि"; alternatives "स्थैर्यंयस्यजन्मत्रि" — स्थै-र्यं-स्य at 3.6x; यस्य ('whose') is what the sense wants and the line runs on to the next plate. [2026-09-19: the mūla now reads स्थैर्यस्य जन्म for स्थैर्यं स्यजन्म, corrected in the mūla verification of 2026-09-19 (see the revisions row of that pass on this verse); this note describes the earlier text.]

- About this edition: This is the most broken of the legible verses. शोषिः does not construe (शौरिः, 'Saturn', is the reader's alternative); स्थैर्यंस्य should be यस्य ('whose'), which is what the sense needs; and the line runs on to the plate that follows, so the rule is not complete here. Do not treat the house-list as closed.

- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 78; it is published at position 79. Numbering here is reconstructed by position because this printing's numerals are the corruption that got its OCR refused.
- About this edition: TWO THINGS TO CHECK. (i) वन्हियुग्मे is a number-word: vanhi (fire) = 3 and yugma (pair) = 2, read from the right = 23 — and the printing itself glosses it with the figure २३ on the same line, which confirms the resolution. (ii) दैत्यपुत्र ('son of the demons') is not a standard planet-name; दैत्यगुरु (Venus) is the expected form, and the sign-list — Libra and Taurus, Venus's own houses, with Pisces its exaltation — supports Venus, but the plate says putra and the identification is ours.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads वत्सरेवन्हियुग्मे. A reader dividing this verse judged वत्सरेवह्नियुग्मे the likely intent — the bhūtasaṅkhyā word is वह्नि ('fire' = 3), which with युग्म ('pair' = 2) gives the twenty-third year that the printed numeral २३ beside it and the English both state; वन्हि is a metathesis of the conjunct ह्न.. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made. Recorded so the question is adjudicated rather than absorbed.

The lord of the ascendant, in a kendra and full of strength, produces the highest prosperity — for one born even in a cowherd's family; how much more for one born of a king.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "न्हि"; alternatives "ह्नि" — line-initial cluster continuing 'व' at the end of line 1 (व+न्हि / व+ह्नि, i.e. वन्हि or वह्नि 'fire' = 3, glossed by the following २३). At 10x the half-consonant on the left is न् and ह follows it, so I set न्हि as printed; the metathesised spelling वन्हि is common in printed Devanagari, but I cannot exclude that the type is a ह with subscript न.

The Sun in the 3rd, Venus in the 4th (sukha), Mercury in the 2nd, and [Jupiter] placed in the 5th; and not in a sign of debilitation, nor khānta-veśma-ga — the native becomes a king, protector of the three oceans.
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गौ"; alternatives "गो" — two wedges stand over the ग-ा at 15x, which is ौ; a single wedge (ो) would be expected for a nominative वेश्मगो, so the pair was checked twice and both times read as two.
- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 80; it is published at position 81. Numbering here is reconstructed by position because this printing's numerals are the corruption that got its OCR refused.
- About this edition: Two gaps. बुधाद्द्वितीये as inked is 'in the 2nd from Mercury'; 'Mercury in the 2nd' is what the parallel construction of the other three placements requires, and is what is rendered. खांतवेश्मगौ does not resolve into a placement at all — the reader confirmed the ौ twice at 15x where a nominative वेश्मगो would want a single stroke — so the second exclusion is left transliterated. Who occupies the 5th is not named in the surviving line.

If at the time of birth the lord of speech (Jupiter) is in a kendra, or in the 9th (dharma), or in its own exaltation, or has gone to the 5th (the house of sons), and is joined with or aspected by the Moon, Mercury and Venus, he becomes a lord of men, a universal sovereign, and a conqueror of his enemies.
2 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "श्च"; alternatives "श्व", "श्र" — resolved after the fact: the same ligature was compared at 11x against a certain श्च on this plate (खलजा…सं vs. the श्च of प्लेट 108 शुक्रश्च / भौमश्च) and matches it — a श with a small च tucked at the lower right. Recorded as श्च, but the plate is softer here than on 108 and the earlier reading at 13x had been श्व.

When the lord of the ascendant and the malefic-born stand in a friend's house, and the lord of the [current] daśā is placed [there] as well, it produces for [the native] the whole surface of the earth — a great and auspicious rise, hard to withstand and destructive of enemies.
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "दुर्वारिवैरिघ्न"; alternatives "दुर्वारवैरिघ्न", "दुर्वारैर्विघ्न" — between र्वा and वै there is an i-matra stem + र which I read as रि; the resulting दुर्वारि is not a form I can parse, so the akshara count here should be re-checked on the plate.

- About this edition: खलजाश्च ('the malefic-born') is legible but its reference is not fixed — whether it means the natural malefics or planets born of malefic signs is not stated. दुर्वारि does not parse; दुर्वार ('irresistible'), the reader's alternative, is what is rendered, and the akṣara count in that stretch should be re-checked on the plate.

With Saturn in the ascendant in its own exaltation or its own house, [the native] is the equal of a ruler of the earth and lord of a country and its city. [Otherwise] he is afflicted by poverty, by sorrow and by others, and in all the worlds his bodily bearing is censured by everyone.

The Sun gone to its exaltation degree in the ascendant; the Moon in the 2nd; Venus in the 3rd (duścikya) joined with Rāhu (tamas); Jupiter in the 4th (sukha); Mercury in the 12th; Saturn in the 11th (lābha); and [a planet] in the 6th, the house of enemies — a man born in a king's family with this always attains, among the company of kings, the rank of emperor (samrāṭ).
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सर्व"; alternatives "सर्वं" — the mark over र्व here is a bare repha hook at 26x, with no separate anusvara diamond inside its bowl — unlike सर्वं in line 5, where the diamond is clearly there. The two are only just distinguishable at this resolution.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "जन्मानि"; alternatives "जन्मनि" — between the न्म ligature and the following न I read an a-matra vertical AND the i-matra stem+arch; if there is only the i-matra stem the word is जन्मनि, which is what the syntax (…यस्य जन्तोः, line 9) wants. At 12x the two verticals could not be separated with certainty.

- About this edition: Seven bodies are placed by name and an eighth house — the 6th — is mentioned with no planet attached to it. MARS is the one planet the list omits, so Mars in the 6th is the natural completion, but the plate does not say so and it is not supplied in the translation.

4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "विशलता"; alternatives "विशदता", "विशालता" — the akshara after श has the ल form (loop with tail) rather than द, and there is no a-matra; recorded as printed, but the word so formed is not one I can parse in the list स्फटिक- …-काश-कार्पास-.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सर्वेप्या"; alternatives "सर्वेऽप्या" — no avagraha is set here; the mark over र्वे is a wedge plus a repha hook and nothing rises above the shirorekha (the test that identifies an avagraha in this fount — see लग्नेऽर्कजे, line 6, and योगेऽस्मिन्, line 12). Recorded as printed, without the avagraha.
- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 86; it is published at position 87. Numbering here is reconstructed by position because this printing's numerals are the corruption that got its OCR refused.
- About this edition: The closing quarter divides two ways with quite different senses: सस्य-अति-पृथ्वी बहु-रक्त-पूर्णा ('the earth rich in crops, filled with great devotion', rendered here) or स स्यात् अति-पृथ्वी बहु-रक्त-पूर्णा ('he becomes … the earth filled with much blood'). rakta carries both 'devoted' and 'blood'. The plate sets it solid and does not decide, so a triumphal reading and a bloody one are both open.

6 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "जलदनिभममथ"; alternatives "जलदनिभमथ" — I count two म between निभ and थ at both 3x and 13x; a single म (जलदनिभम् अथ) would be the expected text, so the doubled type should be confirmed on the plate. [2026-09-19: the mūla now reads जलदनिभमथ for जलदनिभममथ, corrected in the mūla verification of 2026-09-19 (see the revisions row of that pass on this verse); this note describes the earlier text.]
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शेसु"; alternatives "शेषु", "शेशु" — the akshara after शे carries a u-matra; its body reads as स at 12x, but ष and श are close in this fount at this size and the word शेसुशंकां is not one I can parse.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "नीयंतेस्य"; alternatives "नीयंतेऽस्य" — no avagraha is set; nothing rises above the shirorekha between ते and स्य.

- About this edition: THIS IS THE MOST DAMAGED VERSE IN THE UNIT and no astrological rule should be taken from it. Its skeleton is legible — all the planets in the sky, a simile of whiteness from crystal, kāśa-grass and cotton, the lord of the asterism aspecting the ascendant, and the resulting title 'crest-jewel of kings' — but the entire second half is not: विशलता is unparseable, शेसुशंकां is unparseable, म is doubled in जलदनिभमम, and no avagrahas are set where elisions occur. What is rendered is a skeleton, and the connective tissue is guesswork that has deliberately not been supplied. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads जलदनिभमथ; this sentence names जलदनिभमम, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-19 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
- Where the Sanskrit is open: The plate reads स्फटिकविशलताकाश. A reader dividing this verse judged स्फटिकविशदताकाश the likely intent — the English reads 'the whiteness of crystal, kāśa-grass and cotton' — viśadatā; विशलता is not a word in this sense, and ल/द are close in this fount. The Sragdharā count of 21 is unchanged.. NOT applied: the mūla above is what the source sets, and the emendation needs the page before it is made. Recorded so the question is adjudicated rather than absorbed.

- About this edition: aja, 'the ram', is Aries. The compound at the close is set gajamānavān; it is read as gajavān mānavān, 'possessed of elephants and of men', which is the usual pairing, but the letters as printed do not give that division cleanly. The verse names six signs and does not say how the seven planets are to be distributed among them.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सोमसुतेर्कपुत्रे"; alternatives "सोमसुतैकपुत्रे", "सोमसुतेऽर्कपुत्रे" — over the त there is ONE wedge (े) and over the following क a repha hook, which gives सुते + र्क; no avagraha is set (nothing rises above the shirorekha).

When Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are in the trines and the quadrants, Mercury and Saturn (the son of Soma and the son of the Sun) are in the third, sixth and tenth, and the full Moon is placed in the seventh (jāyā), then assuredly the one born is the equal of a king.

- About this edition: A defect a user must know about: Mercury is named TWICE and put in two different places — among budha-jīva-śukra in the trines and quadrants, and again as somasuta in the third, sixth and tenth. The rule as printed therefore cannot be satisfied by any chart. The reader examined the crux at the wedge over त and the repha over क and settled somasute + arkaputre against the alternative somasutaikaputre, so the duplication is in the text and not in the reading. Do not apply this verse without resolving which of the two placements Mercury is meant to take.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "चंद्रे"; alternatives "चन्द्रे" — anusvara (a diamond dot over the च), not a subscript न् — checked at 11x. The same page sets चन्द्रो with the subscript in line 5 and चन्द्रे in line 9, so the variation is the printer's and is preserved.
- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 96; it is published at position 97. Numbering here is reconstructed by position because this printing's numerals are the corruption that got its OCR refused.
- About this edition: The second quarter reads candraś cāṣṭame bhuvane sitaḥ, which puts both the Moon and Venus in the eighth; it could also be divided so that only Venus is in the eighth and the Moon's house is left unstated. The rendering takes the first, which is the natural reading of the words as they stand.
धने शुक्रश् च भौमश् च मीने जीवो घटे बुधः ॥ नीचचन्द्रः सूर्ययुक्तो राजयोगोऽभिधीयते
dhane śukraś ca bhaumaś ca mīne jīvo ghaṭe budhaḥ || nīcacandraḥ sūryayukto rājayogo'bhidhīyate
Venus and Mars in the second house of wealth, Jupiter in Pisces, Mercury in Aquarius, and the Moon debilitated and joined with the Sun: this is called a rāja-yoga.

- About this edition: The Moon's debilitation sign is Scorpio. This combination mixes signs with houses in one rule and includes a debilitated Moon conjunct the Sun, which is ordinarily adverse; verse 99, immediately following, states the limitation that goes with it and must be read together with this verse.
अस्मिन् योगे नरो जातो राजा विभववर्जितः ॥ दानभोगादिविख्यातः सामान्यः स भवेन् नरः
asmin yoge naro jāto rājā vibhavavarjitaḥ || dānabhogādivikhyātaḥ sāmānyaḥ sa bhaven naraḥ
A man born in this yoga is a king, yet devoid of splendour; renowned for his gifts and his enjoyments and the like, he remains for all that an ordinary man.

- About this edition: This verse is the qualification on verse 98 and must never be quoted apart from it: it withdraws most of what the rāja-yoga appears to promise. Anything that cites verse 98 as a royalty-conferring combination without this verse misreports the text.
मीनशुक्रे बुधश् चान्ते १२ लग्ने सूर्यः शशी धने ॥ सहजे च भवेद् राहू राजयोगः प्रचक्षते
mīnaśukre budhaś cānte 12 lagne sūryaḥ śaśī dhane || sahaje ca bhaved rāhū rājayogaḥ pracakṣate
Venus in Pisces, Mercury in the last house — the twelfth — the Sun in the ascendant, the Moon in the second, and Rāhu in the third: this they declare a rāja-yoga.

- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 99; it is published at position 100. Numbering here is reconstructed by position because this printing's numerals are the corruption that got its OCR refused.
- About this edition: The printing itself glosses ante ('at the end') with the inline numeral १२, which fixes it as the twelfth house and not the twelfth sign. Pisces is Venus's sign of exaltation.
मीने जीवस् तथा शुक्रश् चंद्रमाश् च यदा भवेत् ॥ तस्य जातस्य राज्यं स्यात् पत्नी च बहुपुत्रिका
mīne jīvas tathā śukraś caṃdramāś ca yadā bhavet || tasya jātasya rājyaṃ syāt patnī ca bahuputrikā
When Jupiter, Venus and the Moon are all in Pisces, the one born then has sovereignty, and his wife bears many sons.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "बहुपुत्रिका"; alternatives "बहुपात्रिका" — the akshara after बहु carries a u-hook below (पु), not an a-matra; read twice at 3x and once at higher magnification.
- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 100; it is published at position 101. Numbering here is reconstructed by position because this printing's numerals are the corruption that got its OCR refused.
- About this edition: bahuputrikā, 'having many sons', was read twice at 3x and once at higher magnification for the u-hook; the alternative bahupātrikā would give a different sense entirely and the reader rejected it on the ink.
आयस्थाने यदा सौम्यः क्रूरस्थानीय चंद्रमाः ॥ कर्मस्थाने पुनः सौम्यस् तदा राज्यं विधीयते
āyasthāne yadā saumyaḥ krūrasthānīya caṃdramāḥ || karmasthāne punaḥ saumyas tadā rājyaṃ vidhīyate
When a benefic is in the eleventh house of gains, the Moon is in the place of a malefic, and again a benefic is in the tenth house of action, then sovereignty is ordained.

- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 1; it is published at position 102. Numbering here is reconstructed by position because this printing's numerals are the corruption that got its OCR refused.
- About this edition: The middle quarter is printed krūrasthānīya candramāḥ, which does not construe as it stands; 'the Moon in a malefic's place' is what the words most nearly give, but whether that means a malefic's own sign, a malefic's house-position, or the sixth-eighth-twelfth group is not stated. The printing restarts its numbering at this verse (it is numbered 1), so this and the verse after it stand at the head of a new section on the plate even though they are published at positions 102 and 103.
आदौ जीवः पंचमे च दशमे चंद्रमा भवेत् ॥ राजमान्यो महाबुद्धिस् तेजस्वी चातितेजसः
ādau jīvaḥ paṃcame ca daśame caṃdramā bhavet || rājamānyo mahābuddhis tejasvī cātitejasaḥ
Jupiter in the first house, and the Moon in the fifth or in the tenth: such a one is honoured by the king, of great intellect, and lustrous with surpassing splendour.

- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 2; it is published at position 103. Numbering here is reconstructed by position because this printing's numerals are the corruption that got its OCR refused.
- About this edition: The verse names two houses for the Moon and one body cannot occupy both, so 'or' is supplied; the alternative division would put some unnamed planet in the fifth and the Moon in the tenth, and the plate does not decide between them. rājamānyā is printed with a feminine ending in a run of masculine epithets (tejasvī), which is a compositor's slip. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads राजमान्यो; this sentence names rājamānyā, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-19 corrected it, and it is kept as history.]
