Phaladīpikā

सन्दर्शनं वितनुते पितृदेवनॄणां मासाब्दवासरदलैरथ ऊर्ध्वगं यत् । सव्यं क्वचित् क्वचिदुपैत्यपसव्यमेकं ज्योतिः परं दिशतु वस्त्वमितां श्रियं नः

That which, by the halves of a month, of a year and of a day, spreads out the sight ⟨of its light⟩ for the pitṛs, the gods and men ⟨respectively⟩, once it has gone on high; which in one place moves savya ⟨rightward⟩ and in another apasavya ⟨leftward⟩ — may that one supreme luminous Reality bestow upon us prosperity beyond measure.

Having bowed with devotion to Vāgdevī ⟨Sarasvatī⟩, to my family deity, to my gurus, the givers of the knowledge of the three times, to the nine grahas beginning with the Sun, to Gaṇapati, and to Īśvara — I, Mantreśvara, knower of daiva ⟨the astral science⟩, condensing what was told by Atri, Parāśara and the rest, shall set forth the Phaladīpikā, most limpid, for the delight of those who know jyotiṣa.

Here, first of all, the time of birth, together with its vighaṭikās, is to be ascertained with special care by instruments beginning with the pada-shadow ⟨the gnomon-shadow measured in feet⟩. Then, having learnt by the computational manuals the motion of the khecaras ⟨the grahas⟩ brought into agreement with observation ⟨dṛk-tulya⟩, one should declare their bhāva and their strength as well, and ⟨from these⟩ the result.

The head, the face, the chest, the heart, the belly, the waist, the pelvis, the place of generation, the pair of thighs and the pair of knees, likewise the two shanks and the two feet — these, ⟨reckoned⟩ from the lagna, are the limbs of Kāla ⟨the Time-Person⟩. The last portion of Ali ⟨Vṛścika⟩, Jhaṣa ⟨Mīna⟩ and Kulīra ⟨Karka⟩ is renowned as the bhasandhi ⟨the junction of signs⟩; others ⟨take⟩ the ends of all the signs as well.

अरण्ये केदारे शयनभवने श्वभ्रसलिले गिरौ पाथः सस्यान्वितभुवि विशां धाम्नि सुषिरे । जनाधीशस्थाने सजलविपिने धाम्नि विचरत् कुलाले कीलाले वसतिरुदिता मेषभवनात्

In a forest; in a watered field; in a bedchamber; in a water-filled chasm; on a mountain; on ground furnished with water and crops; in the house of the vaiśyas ⟨merchants⟩; in a hole or cavity; in the residence of the ruler of men; in a forest abounding in water; in a dwelling where potters move about; and in water — thus is declared the abode ⟨of the signs⟩, beginning from the sign Meṣa.

Mars, Venus, Mercury, the Moon, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Saturn and Jupiter are declared, in order, the lords of the signs beginning with Meṣa. Reckoned from the Sun, the exaltation houses are Kriya ⟨Meṣa⟩, Vṛṣa, Mṛga ⟨Makara⟩, Strī ⟨Kanyā⟩, Karka, Mīna and Tulā, at ten, three, twenty-eight, fifteen, five, twenty-seven and twenty degrees; and in the seventh ⟨signs⟩ from these they are debilitated, in the same order.

Siṃha, Ukṣa ⟨Vṛṣa⟩, Aja ⟨Meṣa⟩, Vadhū ⟨Kanyā⟩, Haya ⟨Dhanus⟩, Vaṇij ⟨Tulā⟩ and Kumbha are the ⟨mūla⟩trikoṇas of ⟨the grahas⟩ beginning with the Sun; but for Mercury and the Moon ⟨these are reckoned⟩ from the degree of exaltation — the portions being of twenty, twenty-seven, twelve, five, ten, five and twenty degrees. The first half of Cāpa ⟨Dhanus⟩, Vadhū ⟨Kanyā⟩, Nṛyuk ⟨Mithuna⟩, Ghaṭa ⟨Kumbha⟩ and Tulā are the human ⟨biped⟩ signs; the kīṭa ⟨insect⟩ sign is Ali ⟨Vṛścika⟩; the watery ones are Karka, the latter half of Mṛga ⟨Makara⟩ and Śaphara ⟨Mīna⟩; the rest are four-footed.

Go ⟨Vṛṣa⟩, Karkī ⟨Karka⟩, Aśva ⟨Dhanus⟩, Aja ⟨Meṣa⟩ and Nakra ⟨Makara⟩; then Nṛyuk ⟨Mithuna⟩ and Mīna; and the remaining signs — these are, respectively, back-rising, rising both ways, and head-rising. Those ⟨back-rising ones⟩ together with Mithuna are lunar, the remaining houses solar; they are called, in that order, the night-signs and the day-signs. And again, ⟨counting⟩ from the house the sharp-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩ has left, the signs are in order ūrdhva ⟨upward⟩, adhas ⟨downward⟩, sama ⟨level⟩ and vakra ⟨bent⟩.

From Meṣa onward ⟨the signs are, by threes,⟩ movable, fixed and dual; ⟨and⟩ dvāra ⟨door⟩, bahis ⟨outer⟩ and garbha ⟨inner⟩; and here dhātu ⟨mineral⟩, mūla ⟨vegetable⟩ and jīva ⟨animal⟩ are declared; and ⟨by twos⟩ they are known as malefic and benefic. The signs beginning with Meṣa, together with their trikoṇas, are declared lords of the directions beginning with the east, in order. ⟨And by turns they are⟩ odd sign and even sign, male and female; ⟨the houses⟩ beginning with the asta ⟨the 7th⟩ are the left-side ⟨limbs⟩.

The 8th, the ripu ⟨6th⟩ and the vyaya ⟨12th⟩ bhāvas they call duḥsthāna ⟨ill-placed⟩; every other house is declared susthāna, bestowing what is auspicious. The vilagna ⟨ascendant⟩, the 10th, the 7th and the 4th signs they call kendra, which bears also the names kaṇṭaka and catuṣṭaya.

The Sun is of bilious humour, with bone for his essence, scanty of hair; his form is red-dark, his eyes honey-tawny; safflower-red is his dress, his body foursquare; he is brave, fierce, and broad-armed.

स्थूलो युवा च स्थविरः कृशः सितः कान्तेक्षणश्चासितसूक्ष्ममूर्धजः । रक्तैकसारो मृदुवाक् सितांशुको गौरः शशी वातकफात्मको मृदुः

Mars is slender at the waist, with curling, glossy hair; cruel-eyed, bilious, fierce of mind; red-robed and red-bodied, furious, exceedingly generous, young, and abounding in marrow ⟨his dhātu⟩.

dūrvālatāśyāmatanustridhātumiśraḥ sirāvānmadhuroktiyuktaḥ | raktāyatākṣo haritāṃśukastvaksāro budho hāsyaruciḥ samāṅgaḥ

Mercury's body is dark as a creeper of dūrvā grass; he is a mixture of the three humours, full of veins, endowed with sweet speech; his eyes red and long, his garment green; skin is his essence; he is fond of laughter, and even of limb.

पीतद्युतिः पिङ्गकचेक्षणः स्यात् पीनोन्नतोराश्च बृहच्छरीरः । कफात्मकः श्रेष्ठमतिः सुरेड्यः सिंहाब्जनादश्च वसुप्रधानः

pītadyutiḥ piṅgakacekṣaṇaḥ syāt pīnonnatorāśca bṛhaccharīraḥ | kaphātmakaḥ śreṣṭhamatiḥ sureḍyaḥ siṃhābjanādaśca vasupradhānaḥ

Jupiter is of yellow lustre, with tawny hair and eyes; his chest plump and raised, his body large; phlegmatic, of excellent understanding, his voice like a lion's ⟨roar⟩ and a conch, and fat is his chief ⟨dhātu⟩.

चित्राम्बराकुञ्चितकृष्णकेशः स्थूलाङ्गदेहश्च कफानिलात्मा । दूर्वाङ्कुराभः कमनो विशालनेत्रो भृगुः साधितशुक्लवृद्धिः

citrāmbarākuñcitakṛṣṇakeśaḥ sthūlāṅgadehaśca kaphānilātmā | dūrvāṅkurābhaḥ kamano viśālanetro bhṛguḥ sādhitaśuklavṛddhiḥ

Venus wears variegated cloth; his hair is curled and black, his limbs and body stout; he is of phlegm and wind; like a sprout of dūrvā grass ⟨in hue⟩, comely, large-eyed, and well furnished with semen ⟨his dhātu⟩.

पङ्गुर्निम्नविलोचनः कृशतनुर्दीर्घः सिरालोऽलसः कृष्णाङ्गः पवनात्मकोऽतिपिशुनः स्नाय्वात्मको निर्घृणः । मूर्खः स्थूलनखद्विजः परुषरोमाङ्गोऽशुचिस्तामसो रौद्रः क्रोधपरो जरापरिणतः कृष्णाम्बरो भास्करिः

Saturn is lame, hollow-eyed, thin-bodied, tall, veiny, indolent, black-limbed, of wind by humour, exceedingly slanderous, sinew his essence, pitiless; a fool, with thick nails and teeth, with coarse hair on his limbs, unclean, of tamas, terrible, given to anger, bent with old age, and black-robed.

शैवं धाम बहिःप्रकाशकमरुद्देशो रवेः पूर्वदिक् दुर्गास्थानवधूजलौषधिमधुस्थानं विधोर्वायुदिक् । चोरम्लेच्छकृशानुयुद्धभुवि दिग्याम्या कुजस्योदिता विद्वद्विष्णुसभाविहारगणकस्थानान्युदीचीं विदुः

A Śiva shrine, a place lit from without, and desert land ⟨are⟩ the Sun's; the east is his quarter. Durgā's shrine and the places of women, water, herbs and honey are the Moon's, and the north-west his quarter. The ground of thieves, mlecchas, fire and battle is declared to be Mars's, and the southern quarter his. The seats of the learned, of Viṣṇu, assembly halls, pleasure grounds and astrologers ⟨are Mercury's⟩, and they know the north ⟨for his⟩.

कोशाश्वत्थसुरद्विजातिनिलयस्त्वैशानदिग्गीष्पतेर्वेश्यावीथ्यवरोधनृत्तशयनस्थानं भृगोरग्निदिक् । नीचश्रेण्यशुचिस्थलं वरुणदिक्छास्तुः शनेरालयो वल्मीकाहितमोबिलान्यहिशिखिस्थानानि दिग्रक्षसः

The treasury, the aśvattha tree, and the dwellings of gods and of the twice-born ⟨are⟩ the lord of speech's ⟨Jupiter's⟩, and the north-east his quarter. The courtesans' street, the inner apartments, the dancing-place and the bed-chamber are Bhṛgu's ⟨Venus's⟩, and the south-east ⟨his⟩. The haunt of low ranks and unclean places, and the western quarter — let that be Saturn's abode. Anthills, snakes, darkness and holes are the stations of Ahi ⟨Rāhu⟩ and Śikhin ⟨Ketu⟩; the south-west is ⟨their⟩ quarter.

शैवो भिषङ्नृपतिरध्वरकृत्प्रधानी व्याघ्रो मृगो दिनपतेः किल चक्रवाकः शास्ताङ्गनारजककर्षकतोयगाः स्युरिन्दोः शशश्च हरिणश्च बकश्चकोरः

A devotee of Śiva, a physician, a king, a performer of sacrifice, a chief; the tiger, the deer, and indeed the cakravāka — ⟨these are⟩ the lord of day's ⟨the Sun's⟩. A ruler ⟨or teacher⟩, a woman, a washerman, a karṣaka ⟨ploughman⟩, and creatures that move in water are the Moon's, and the hare, the antelope, the crane and the cakora.

भौमो महानसगतायुधभृत्सुवर्णकाराजकुक्कुटशिवाकपिगृध्रचोराः । गोपज्ञशिल्पगणकोत्त मविष्णुदासास्तार्क्ष्यः किकी दिविशुकौ शशिजो बिडालः

Mars: one who works at the hearth, a bearer of arms, a goldsmith; the goat, the cock, the jackal, the monkey, the vulture, and thieves. The Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩: cowherds, the learned, craftsmen, the foremost of astrologers, servants of Viṣṇu; Tārkṣya ⟨the eagle⟩, the blue jay and the parrot, and the cat.

दैवज्ञमन्त्रिगुरुविप्रयतीशमुख्याः पारावतः सुरगुरोस्तुरगश्च हंसः । गानी धनी विटवणिङ्नटतन्तुवायवेश्यामयूरमहिषाश्च भृगोः शुको गौः

Astrologers, ministers, preceptors, brāhmaṇas, ascetics, lords and chiefs, and the dove — ⟨these are⟩ the gods' preceptor's ⟨Jupiter's⟩; and the horse and the swan. Singers, the wealthy, libertines, merchants, actors, weavers, courtesans, the peacock and the buffalo are Bhṛgu's ⟨Venus's⟩, and the parrot and the cow.

तैलक्रयी भृतकनीचकिरातकायस्काराश्च दन्तिकरटाश्च पिकाः शनेः स्युः । बौद्धाहितुण्डिकखराजवृकोष्ट्रसर्पध्वान्तादयो मशकमत्कुणकृम्युलूकाः

Dealers in oil, hired servants, the low-born, Kirātas and smiths; elephants, crows and cuckoos are Saturn's. Buddhists, snake-charmers, asses, goats, wolves, camels, serpents, darkness and the like; mosquitoes, bugs, worms and owls ⟨are Rāhu's and Ketu's⟩.

सौम्यः समोऽर्कजसितावहितौ खरांशोरिन्दोर्हितौ रविबुधावपरे समाः स्युः । भौमस्य मन्दभृगुजौ तु समौ रिपुर्ज्ञः सौम्यस्य शीतगुररिः सुहृदौ सितार्कौ

For the hot-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩, Mercury is neutral, and Saturn and Venus are the two enemies. For the Moon, the Sun and Mercury are friends; the rest are neutral. For Mars, Saturn and Venus are neutral, and Mercury is the enemy. For Mercury, the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩ is the enemy, and Venus and the Sun are his two friends.

सूरेर्द्विषौ कविबुधौ रविजः समः स्यान्मध्यौ कवेर्गुरुकुजौ सुहृदौ शनिज्ञौ । जीवः समः सितविदौ रविजस्य मित्रे ज्ञेया अनुक्तखचरास्तु तदन्यथा स्युः

For the wise one ⟨Jupiter⟩, Venus and Mercury are the two foes, and the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩ is neutral. For Kavi ⟨Venus⟩, Jupiter and Mars are middling, and Saturn and Mercury are friends. Jupiter is neutral to the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩, and Venus and Mercury are Saturn's friends. The grahas not spoken of are to be known as otherwise ⟨than these⟩.

अन्योन्यं त्रिसुखस्वखान्त्यभवगास्तत्कालमित्राण्यमी तन्नैसर्गिकमप्यवेक्ष्य कथयेत्तस्यातिमित्राहितान् । शौर्याज्ञे रविजो गुरुर्गुरुसुतौ भौमश्चतुर्थाष्टमौ पूर्णं पश्यति सप्तमं च सकलास्तेष्वङ्घ्रिवृद्ध्या क्रमात्

Those standing from one another in the 3rd, the 4th, the 2nd, the 10th, the 12th and the 11th are temporal friends. Weighing that together with the natural ⟨relation⟩, one should declare a graha's great friends and its enemies. Saturn looks fully upon valour and command ⟨the 3rd and the 10th⟩, Jupiter upon the preceptor's and the son's ⟨the 9th and the 5th⟩, and Mars upon the 4th and the 8th; and all look fully upon the 7th — upon the rest by the increase of a quarter, in order.

सूर्यादेरयनं क्षणो दिनमृतुर्मासश्च पक्षः शरद्विप्रौ शुक्रगुरू रविक्षितिसुतौ चन्द्रो बुधोऽन्त्यः शनिः । प्राहुः सत्त्वरजस्तमांसि शशिगुर्वर्काः कविज्ञौ परे ग्रीष्मादर्ककुजौ शशी शशिसुतो जीवः शनिर्भार्गवः

Beginning with the Sun: the ayana, the moment, the day, the season, the month, the fortnight, and the year. Venus and Jupiter are brāhmaṇas; the Sun and the earth's son ⟨Mars, kṣatriyas⟩; the Moon ⟨a vaiśya⟩, Mercury ⟨a śūdra⟩; last of all is Saturn. Sattva, rajas and tamas they declare ⟨to belong to⟩ the Moon, Jupiter and the Sun; to Venus and Mercury; and to the rest. Beginning with summer: the Sun and Mars, the Moon, the Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩, Jupiter, Saturn, and Bhārgava ⟨Venus⟩.

ताताम्बे रविभार्गवौ दिवि निशि प्राभाकरीन्दू स्मृतौ तद्व्यस्तेन पितृव्यमातृभगिनीसंज्ञौ तदा तत्क्रमात् । वामाक्षीन्दुरिनोऽन्यदक्षि कथितो भौमः कनिष्ठानुजो जीवो ज्येष्ठसहोदरः शशिसुतो दत्तात्मजः सम्ज्ञितः

By day the Sun and Venus ⟨are⟩ father and mother; by night the son of Prabhākara ⟨Saturn⟩ and the Moon are held ⟨to be so⟩. Reversed from that, they are then named the paternal uncle and the mother's sister, in that same order. The Moon is the left eye; the Sun is said ⟨to be⟩ the other, the right. Mars is the younger brother, Jupiter the elder born of the same womb, and the Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩ is styled the son given ⟨in adoption⟩.

देहो देही हिमरुचिरिनस्त्विन्द्रियाण्यारपूर्वा आदित्यद्विड्गुलिकशिखिनस्तस्य पीडाकराः स्युः । गन्धः सौम्यो भृगुजशशिनौ द्वौ रसौ सूर्यभौमौ रूपौ शब्दो गुरुरथ परे स्पर्शसंज्ञाः प्रदिष्टाः

The body is the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩, the embodied ⟨soul⟩ the Sun; and those beginning with Mars are the senses. The Sun's foe ⟨Rāhu⟩, Gulika and Śikhin ⟨Ketu⟩ are the afflicters of it. Mercury is smell; Venus and the Moon — these two — are taste; the Sun and Mars are form; Jupiter is sound; and the rest are declared to bear the name of touch.

क्षीणेन्द्वर्ककुजाहिकेतुरविजाः पापाः सपापश्च वित् क्लीवाः केतुबुधार्कजाः शशितमःशुक्राः स्त्रियोऽन्ये नराः । रुद्राम्बागुहविष्णुधातृकमलाकालाह्यजा देवताः सूर्यादग्निजलाग्निभूमिखपयोवाय्वात्मकाः स्युर्ग्रहाः

The waning Moon, the Sun, Mars, Ahi ⟨Rāhu⟩, Ketu and the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩ are malefics — and Mercury too when joined with a malefic. Ketu, Mercury and Saturn are neuter; the Moon, Tamas ⟨Rāhu⟩ and Venus are female; the others are male. Rudra, Ambā, Guha, Viṣṇu, Dhātṛ, Kamalā, Kāla, Ahi and Aja are ⟨their⟩ deities. Beginning with the Sun, the grahas are of the nature of fire, water, fire, earth, ether, water and wind.

Wheat, rice, sesame, chickpea, horse-gram, pigeon-pea, dark mung, lablab beans and black gram ⟨belong⟩ to the Sun, the Moon, the black one ⟨Saturn⟩, Jupiter, Śikhin ⟨Ketu⟩, the cruel one ⟨Mars⟩, Mercury, Bhṛgu ⟨Venus⟩ and Ahi ⟨Rāhu⟩. To the serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩, the Sun, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, the Moon, Ketu and Venus ⟨belong⟩ the ⟨land⟩ named Ambara, Kaliṅga, Saurāṣṭra, Avanti, Sindhu, Magadha, the Yavanas, the hill country, and Kīkaṭa.

माणिक्यं तरणेः सुधार्यममलं मुक्ताफलं शीतगोर्माहेयस्य च विद्रुमं मरकतं सौम्यस्य गारुत्मतम् । देवेड्यस्य च पुष्परागमसुरामात्यस्य वज्रं शनेर्नीलं निर्मलमन्ययोश्च गदिते गोमेधवैदूर्यके

The ruby is the Sun's; the spotless pearl, fit to be worn, the cool-rayed one's ⟨the Moon's⟩; and coral is Mars's; the emerald, the garutmata, is Mercury's; the topaz is the gods' venerated one's ⟨Jupiter's⟩; the diamond, the demons' minister's ⟨Venus's⟩; the flawless blue sapphire is Saturn's; and for the other two ⟨Rāhu and Ketu⟩ gomeda and vaidūrya are declared.

ताम्रं कांस्यं धातुताम्रं त्रपु स्यात् स्वर्णं रौप्यं चायसं भास्करादेः । वस्त्रं तत्तद्वर्णयुक्तं विशेषाज्जीर्णं मन्दस्याग्निदगधं कुजस्य

Copper, bell-metal, ore-copper, tin, gold, silver and iron ⟨belong⟩ to the grahas beginning with the Sun. The cloth is that which carries each one's own colour in particular; worn-out ⟨cloth⟩ is Saturn's, and fire-burnt ⟨cloth⟩ Mars's.

भानोः कटुर्भूमिसुतस्य तिक्तं लावण्यमिन्दोरथ चन्द्रजस्य । मिश्रीकृतं यन्मधुरं गुरोस्तु शुक्रस्य चाम्लं च शनेः कषायः

bhānoḥ kaṭurbhūmisutasya tiktaṃ lāvaṇyamindoratha candrajasya | miśrīkṛtaṃ yanmadhuraṃ gurostu śukrasya cāmlaṃ ca śaneḥ kaṣāyaḥ

Pungent ⟨taste⟩ belongs to the Sun, bitter to Mars, saltiness to the Moon; and to Mercury, that which is mixed. Sweet is Jupiter's, sour is Venus's, and astringent is Saturn's.

भास्वद्गीष्पतिचन्द्रजक्षितिभुवां स्याद्दक्षिणे लाञ्छनं शेषाणामितरत्र तिग्मकिरणात्कट्यां शिरःपृष्ठयोः । कक्षेंऽसे वदने च सक्थिचरणे चिह्नं वयांस्यर्कतो नेमे नाथ तटं नखं नग सनि ज्ञानाढ्य नग्नाटनम्

For the Sun, Jupiter ⟨gīṣpati⟩, Mercury and Mars the mark falls on the right side; for the remaining ⟨grahas⟩ it falls elsewhere ⟨on the left⟩. Reckoning from the Sun ⟨in order⟩, the mark is on the waist, on the head and the back, on the flank, on the shoulder, on the face, and on the foot. The ages ⟨of the grahas⟩ from the Sun onward are ⟨in kaṭapayādi⟩ 50, 70, 16, 20, 30, 7, 100 and 100 ⟨years⟩.

नीलद्युतिर्दीर्घतनुः कुवर्णः पामी सपाषण्डमतः सहिक्कः । असत्यवादी कपटी च राहुः कुष्ठी परान्निन्दति बुद्धिहीनः

nīladyutirdīrghatanuḥ kuvarṇaḥ pāmī sapāṣaṇḍamataḥ sahikkaḥ | asatyavādī kapaṭī ca rāhuḥ kuṣṭhī parānnindati buddhihīnaḥ

Rāhu is dark-blue in lustre, long of body, of ill complexion, afflicted with skin eruptions, holding heretical opinions, subject to hiccups, a speaker of untruth and a deceiver; a leper, he reviles others, and he is devoid of intellect.

रक्तोग्रदृष्टिर्विषवागुदग्रदेहः सशस्त्रः पतितश्च केतुः । धूम्रद्युतिर्धूमप एव नित्यं व्रणाङ्किताङ्गश्च कृशो नृशम्सः

raktogradṛṣṭirviṣavāgudagradehaḥ saśastraḥ patitaśca ketuḥ | dhūmradyutirdhūmapa eva nityaṃ vraṇāṅkitāṅgaśca kṛśo nṛśamsaḥ

Red and fierce of gaze, venomous of speech, lofty of body, bearing a weapon, and fallen ⟨from caste⟩ — such is Ketu: smoke-coloured in lustre, forever a drinker of smoke, his limbs marked with wounds, lean, and cruel.

सीसं च जीर्णवसनं तमसस्तु केतोर्मृद्भाजनं विविधचित्रपटं प्रदिष्टम् । मित्राणि विच्छनिसितास्तमसोर्द्वयोस्तु भौमः समो निगदितो रिपवश्च शेषाः

Lead and worn-out clothing ⟨belong⟩ to Rāhu ⟨tamas⟩; to Ketu an earthen vessel and cloth of many colours are assigned. Mercury, Saturn and Venus are the friends of both the shadowy ones; Mars is declared neutral, and the rest are enemies.

मूढोऽपि नीचरिपुगोऽष्टमषड्व्ययस्थो दुःस्थः स्मृतो भवति सुस्थ इतीतरः स्यात् । चन्द्रेव्ययायतनुषट्सुतकामसंस्थे तोयाभिवृद्धिमिह शंसति वृद्धिकार्ये

mūḍho'pi nīcaripugo'ṣṭamaṣaḍvyayastho duḥsthaḥ smṛto bhavati sustha itītaraḥ syāt | candrevyayāyatanuṣaṭsutakāmasaṃsthe toyābhivṛddhimiha śaṃsati vṛddhikārye

A graha that is combust, or gone to debilitation or to an enemy's ⟨sign⟩, or standing in the 8th, the 6th or the 12th, is held to be duḥstha (ill-placed); otherwise it is sustha (well-placed). When the Moon stands in the 12th, the 11th, the 1st, the 6th, the 5th or the 7th, one declares here an increase of water in a matter concerning increase.

अन्तः सारसमुन्नतद्रुररुणो वल्ली सितेन्दू स्मृतौ गुल्मः केतुरहिश्च कण्टकनगौ भौमार्कजौ कीर्तितौ । वागीशः सफलोऽफलः शशिसुतः क्षीरप्रसूनद्रुमौ शुक्रेन्दू विधुरोषधिः शनिरसारागश्च सालद्रुमः

The Sun ⟨aruṇa⟩ is a lofty tree with hard pith within; Venus and the Moon are held to be creepers; Ketu and Rāhu ⟨the serpent⟩ are bushes; Mars and Saturn are declared to be thorny trees. Jupiter is fruit-bearing, Mercury fruitless; Venus and the Moon are the milk-exuding tree and the flowering tree; the Moon ⟨vidhu⟩ is an herb; Saturn is a pithless tree, and the sāla tree.

क्षेत्रत्रिभागनवभागदशांशहोरात्रिंशांशसप्तलवषष्टिलवाः कलांशाः । ते द्वादशांशसहिता दशवर्गसंज्ञा वर्गोत्तमो निजनिजे भवने नवांशः

kṣetratribhāganavabhāgadaśāṃśahorātriṃśāṃśasaptalavaṣaṣṭilavāḥ kalāṃśāḥ | te dvādaśāṃśasahitā daśavargasaṃjñā vargottamo nijanije bhavane navāṃśaḥ

The kṣetra ⟨the sign itself⟩, the third-part ⟨drekkāṇa⟩, the ninth-part ⟨navāṃśa⟩, the daśāṃśa, the horā, the triṃśāṃśa, the seventh-part ⟨saptāṃśa⟩, the sixtieth-part ⟨ṣaṣṭyaṃśa⟩ and the kalāṃśa ⟨the sixteenth part⟩ — these, together with the dvādaśāṃśa, bear the name of the ten vargas ⟨daśavarga⟩. The navāṃśa ⟨that falls⟩ in its own respective sign is vargottama.

दशांशषष्ट्यंशकलांशहीनास्ते सप्तवर्गाश्च विसप्तमांशाः षड्वर्गसंज्ञास्त्वथ राशिभावतुल्यं नवांशस्य फलं हि केचित्

daśāṃśaṣaṣṭyaṃśakalāṃśahīnāste saptavargāśca visaptamāṃśāḥ ṣaḍvargasaṃjñāstvatha rāśibhāvatulyaṃ navāṃśasya phalaṃ hi kecit

Those same ⟨ten⟩, less the daśāṃśa, the ṣaṣṭyaṃśa and the kalāṃśa, are the seven vargas ⟨saptavarga⟩; and those without the saptāṃśa bear the name of the six vargas ⟨ṣaḍvarga⟩. Now, some hold that the fruit of the navāṃśa is equal to that of the rāśi and the bhāva.

क्षेत्रेषु पूर्णमुदितं फलमन्यवर्गेष्वर्द्धं कलादशमषष्टिलवेषु पादम् । बालः कुमारतरुणौ प्रवया मृतः षड् भागः क्रमाद्युजि विपर्ययमित्यवस्थाः

kṣetreṣu pūrṇamuditaṃ phalamanyavargeṣvarddhaṃ kalādaśamaṣaṣṭilaveṣu pādam | bālaḥ kumārataruṇau pravayā mṛtaḥ ṣaḍ bhāgaḥ kramādyuji viparyayamityavasthāḥ

In the kṣetras ⟨the signs⟩ the fruit declared is full; in the other vargas half; in the kalāṃśa, the daśāṃśa and the ṣaṣṭyaṃśa a quarter. Infant ⟨bāla⟩, boy ⟨kumāra⟩, youth ⟨taruṇa⟩, aged ⟨pravaya⟩, dead ⟨mṛta⟩ — a sixth part ⟨of the sign, six degrees, to each⟩, in that order; in an even sign the reverse. Such are the states ⟨avasthā⟩.

क्षेत्रस्यार्द्धं हि होरा त्वयुजि रविसुधांश्वोः समे व्यस्तमेतद् द्रेष्काणेशास्त्रिभागैस्तनुसुतशुभपा द्वादशांशस्तु लग्नात् । भौमार्कीड्यज्ञशुक्राः शिशुजसमलवा ह्योजभे युग्मभे तद्व्यस्तं त्रिंशांशनाथाः क्रियमकरतुलाः कर्कटाद्या नवांशाः

Half a sign is a horā: in an odd sign ⟨the two belong⟩ to the Sun and the Moon ⟨in that order⟩, and in an even sign this is reversed. The lords of the drekkāṇas, by the successive thirds, are the lords of the tanu ⟨1st⟩, the suta ⟨5th⟩ and the śubha ⟨9th⟩. The dvādaśāṃśa ⟨is reckoned⟩ from the lagna ⟨the sign itself⟩. Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus ⟨take spans of⟩ ⟨…⟩ degrees in an odd sign, and in an even sign the reverse of that — these are the lords of the triṃśāṃśa. Aries, Capricorn, Libra and Cancer are the starting points of the navāṃśas ⟨for the fiery, earthy, airy and watery triplicities respectively⟩.

यज्ञं रत्न जनं धनं नय पटं रूपं शुकं चेटिना नागं योग खगं बलं भग शिला धूलिर्नवं प्रस्वनम् । लाभं विश्व दिवं कुशं रम धमं षष्ट्यंशकाश्चौजभे क्रूराख्याः समभे विपर्ययमिदं शेषास्तु सौम्याह्वयाः

⟨The ṣaṣṭyaṃśas numbered⟩ 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 48, 51, 52, 59 — given by the words yajña, ratna, jana, dhana, naya, paṭa, rūpa, śuka, ceṭinā, nāga, yoga, khaga, bala, bhaga, śilā, dhūli, nava, prasvana, lābha, viśva, diva, kuśa, rama, dhama — are called malefic ⟨krūra⟩ in an odd sign; in an even sign this is reversed; and the rest are called benefic ⟨saumya⟩.

स्वात् सप्तांशदशांशकौ तु विषमे युग्मे तु कामाच्छुभात् स्वादीशाश्च कलांशपा विधिहरीशार्काः समर्क्षेऽन्यथा । ख्यातैः कोणयुतैस्त्रिकोणभवनस्वर्क्षोच्चकेन्द्रोत्तमैर्वर्गाः सप्त दश त्रयोदशमिता वर्गाः प्रदिष्टाः परैः

In an odd sign the saptāṃśa and the daśāṃśa ⟨are reckoned⟩ from the sign itself, but in an even sign from the kāma ⟨the 7th⟩ and from the śubha ⟨the 9th⟩ respectively, and their lords ⟨run in order⟩ from that ⟨starting sign⟩. The lords of the kalāṃśa are Vidhi ⟨Brahmā⟩, Hari ⟨Viṣṇu⟩, Īśa ⟨Śiva⟩ and Arka ⟨the Sun⟩; in an even sign, otherwise ⟨the order reversed⟩. ⟨Taking⟩ the well-known ⟨divisions⟩ together with the trine — the trikoṇa, the own house, the own sign, the exaltation, the kendra and the vargottama — the vargas have been declared by others to number seven, ten and thirteen.

वर्गान्योजयतु त्रयोदश सुहृत्स्वर्क्षोच्चभेषु क्रमाद्द्विस्त्रिः पञ्च चतुर्नवाद्रिवसुषट्संख्यासु वर्गैक्यतः । प्राहुश्चोत्तमपारिजातकथितौ सिंहासनं गोपुरं चेत्यैरावतदेवलोकसुरलोकांशांश्च पारावतम्

Let one count up the thirteen vargas ⟨in which a graha stands⟩ in a friend's sign, in its own sign, or in its exaltation; and by the sum of the vargas — two, three, five, four, nine, seven, eight, six — they declare ⟨the ranks⟩ called uttama and pārijāta, and siṃhāsana and gopura, and the portions ⟨named⟩ airāvata, devaloka and suraloka, and pārāvata.

आर्यानल्पगुणार्थसौख्यविभवान्यः पारिजातांशकः स्वाचारं विनयान्वितं च निपुणं यद्युत्तमांशे स्थितः । खेटो गोपुरभागगः शुभमतिं स्वक्षेत्रगो मन्दिरं यः सिंहासनगो नृपेन्द्रदयितं भूपालतुल्यं नरम्

That which ⟨gives⟩ nobility, abundant virtue, wealth, comfort and affluence is the pārijāta portion; if ⟨a graha is⟩ placed in an uttama portion, ⟨it gives⟩ good conduct, modesty and adroitness. A graha ⟨kheṭa⟩ gone to a gopura portion ⟨gives⟩ an auspicious mind; one gone to its own sign, a mansion; and one gone to a siṃhāsana ⟨portion makes⟩ a man dear to the lord of kings and the equal of a ruler of the earth.

श्रेष्ठाश्वद्विपवाहनादि विभवं पारावताधिष्ठितः सत्कीर्तिं यदि देवलोकसहितो भूमण्डलाधीश्वरम् । वन्द्यं भूपतिभिः सुरेन्द्रसदृशं त्वैरावतांशस्थितः सद्भाग्यं धनधान्यपुत्रसहितं भूपं विदध्याद् ग्रहः

A graha stationed in a pārāvata ⟨portion gives⟩ affluence of excellent horses, elephants, conveyances and the like; if joined with a devaloka ⟨portion⟩, good fame, and ⟨makes one⟩ overlord of the circle of the earth; and stationed in an airāvata portion it makes ⟨one⟩ honoured by kings, the equal of Indra, of good fortune, possessed of wealth, grain and sons — a king.

यद्वर्गेष्वखिलेषु मृत्युरबलेष्वत्राथ वक्ष्ये क्रमान्नाशं दुःखमनर्थतां च विसुखं बन्धुप्रियं तद्वरम् । भूपेष्टं धनिनं नृपं नृपवरं वर्गे बलिष्ठेऽखिले वर्धिष्णुं सुखिनं नृपं गदमृती बालाद्यवस्थाफलम्

When ⟨the grahas are⟩ without strength in all the vargas, ⟨the result is⟩ death. Now I shall state ⟨the rest⟩ here in order: ruin, sorrow, worthlessness, joylessness, ⟨being⟩ dear to kinsmen, better than that, dear to the king, wealthy, a king — and when strong in every varga, the foremost of kings. Flourishing, happy, a king, disease, death: ⟨such is⟩ the fruit of the states beginning with bāla.

षड्वर्गेषु शुभग्रहाधिकगुणैः श्रीमांश्चिरं जीवति क्रूरांशे बहुले विलग्नभवने दीनोऽल्पजीवः शठः । तन्नाथा बलिनो नृपोऽस्त्यथ नवांशेशो दृगाणेश्वरो लग्नेशः क्रमशः सुखी नृपसमः क्षोणीपतिर्भाग्यवान्

When in the six vargas the portions of benefic grahas preponderate, ⟨the native is⟩ prosperous and lives long; when malefic portions are abundant in the sign of the lagna, ⟨he is⟩ wretched, short-lived and a knave. If their lords are strong, ⟨he is⟩ a king. And ⟨if⟩ the lord of the navāṃśa, the lord of the drekkāṇa and the lord of the lagna ⟨are strong, he is⟩ respectively happy, the equal of a king, and a fortunate lord of the earth.

ओजे क्रूरेऽर्कहोरां गतवति बलवान् क्रूरवृत्तिर्धनाढ्यो युग्मे चान्द्रींशुभेषु द्युतिविनयवचोहृद्यसौभाग्ययुक्तः । व्यस्तं व्यस्तेऽत्र मिश्रे समफलमुदितं लग्नचन्द्रौ बलिष्ठौ तन्नाथौ द्वौ च तद्वद्यदि भवति चिरंजीव्यदुःखी यशस्वी

When a malefic, being strong, has gone to the Sun's horā in an odd ⟨sign⟩, ⟨the native is⟩ of cruel conduct and rich in wealth; when benefics ⟨go⟩ to the Moon's ⟨horā⟩ in an even ⟨sign⟩, ⟨he is⟩ endowed with lustre, modesty, speech that wins hearts, and good fortune. Reversed ⟨the placements⟩, the result here is reversed; mixed, a middling result is declared. If the lagna and the Moon are strongest, and their two lords likewise, ⟨he⟩ becomes long-lived, free of sorrow, and famous.

In the signs Leo, Aries, ⟨Aśvi⟩, Libra and Gemini the last ⟨drekkāṇas⟩; in Sagittarius and Aries the first; and the middle two, of Virgo and Gemini — these here are the weapon-bearing ⟨āyudha⟩ ⟨drekkāṇas⟩. The middle ⟨drekkāṇa⟩ of Scorpio is the noose ⟨pāśa⟩. The first of Capricorn is the fetter ⟨nigala⟩. The first of Leo and of Aquarius, and the middle of Libra, are vulture-faced ⟨gṛdhrāsya⟩; the last of Taurus is the bird ⟨vihaga⟩; and the first of Cancer is boar-faced ⟨kolānana⟩.

The first of Scorpio, the last of Cancer and the last of Jhaṣa ⟨Pisces⟩ are the serpent ⟨ahi⟩; and the middle of Aries and of Taurus, the first of Leo and the last of Scorpio are quadruped ⟨catuṣpāda⟩. Here the fruit ⟨of these⟩: moneyless, cruel, blameworthy, destitute. In a dual sign the results by the drekkāṇas are base, middling and auspicious; in a movable sign, in the reverse order; and those who know this say that in fixed signs the fruits in the lagna are inauspicious, auspicious and middling.

द्रेक्काणेशे स्ववर्गे शुभखगसहिते स्वोच्चमित्रर्क्षगे वा तद्व त्रिंशांशनाथे बलवति यदि चेद् द्वादशांशाधिपे वा होरानाथे तथा चेन्निखिलगुणगणो नित्यशुद्धप्रवीणो दीर्घायुः स्याद्दयावान् सुतधनसहितः कीर्तिमान्राजभोगः

If the lord of the drekkāṇa is in its own varga, joined with a benefic graha, or placed in its exaltation or a friend's sign; and likewise if the lord of the triṃśāṃśa is strong, or the lord of the dvādaśāṃśa, or so too the lord of the horā — then ⟨the native⟩ has the whole assembly of virtues, is ever pure and adept, long-lived, compassionate, possessed of sons and wealth, renowned, and has the enjoyments of a king.

मान्दिस्थराशिपतिसङ्गतसुत्रिकोणं तस्यांशराशिपतिसंयुतमंशकोणम् । लग्नं वदन्ति गुलिकांशकराशिकोणं तद्वद्विधौ बलयुते शशिनैव विद्यात्

They call the lagna: the good trikoṇa joined with the lord of the rāśi in which Māndi stands; the trikoṇa of the aṃśa joined with the lord of the rāśi of its ⟨Māndi's⟩ navāṃśa; and the trikoṇa of the rāśi of Gulika's navāṃśa. In the same way, when the Moon is possessed of strength, one should determine ⟨it⟩ by the Moon itself.

कुर्यादात्मसुहृद्दृगाणगशशी कल्याणरूपं गुणं श्रेयांस्युत्तमवर्गजस्त्वपरगस्तन्नाथजातान् गुणान् । स्वत्रिंशांशगता ग्रहा विदधते तत्कारकत्वोदितं तत्रैकोऽपि सुहृद्ग्रहेक्षितयुतः स्वोच्चेऽर्थयुक्तं नृपम्

The Moon, gone to the drekkāṇa of itself or of a friend, produces beauty of form and virtue; ⟨a graha⟩ born in an uttama varga ⟨produces⟩ blessings, but one gone elsewhere ⟨produces⟩ the qualities arising from that ⟨varga's⟩ lord. Grahas gone to their own triṃśāṃśa bring about what is declared of their kārakatva ⟨significatorship⟩. And there, even one ⟨such graha⟩, aspected by or joined with a friendly graha and in its own exaltation, ⟨makes the native⟩ a king endowed with wealth.

स्वोच्चे प्रदीप्तः सुखितस्त्रिकोणे स्वस्थः स्वगेहे मुदितः सुहृद्भे । शान्तस्तु सौम्यग्रहवर्गयुक्तः शक्तो मतोऽसौ स्फुटरश्मिजालः

svocce pradīptaḥ sukhitastrikoṇe svasthaḥ svagehe muditaḥ suhṛdbhe | śāntastu saumyagrahavargayuktaḥ śakto mato'sau sphuṭaraśmijālaḥ

In its exaltation ⟨a graha is⟩ blazing ⟨pradīpta⟩; in a trikoṇa, happy ⟨sukhita⟩; in its own house, at ease ⟨svastha⟩; in a friend's sign, glad ⟨mudita⟩; joined with the varga of a benefic graha, calm ⟨śānta⟩; and when its net of rays is distinct, it is held to be able ⟨śakta⟩.

ग्रहाभिभूतः स निपीडितः स्यात् खलस्तु पापग्रहवर्गयातः । सुदुःखितः शत्रुगृहे ग्रहेन्द्रो नीचेऽतिभीतो विकलोऽस्तयातः

grahābhibhūtaḥ sa nipīḍitaḥ syāt khalastu pāpagrahavargayātaḥ | suduḥkhitaḥ śatrugṛhe grahendro nīce'tibhīto vikalo'stayātaḥ

Overpowered by ⟨another⟩ graha, it is afflicted ⟨nipīḍita⟩; gone to the varga of a malefic graha, wicked ⟨khala⟩; in an enemy's house, sorely distressed ⟨suduḥkhita⟩; in debilitation, utterly terrified ⟨atibhīta⟩; and gone to setting ⟨combust⟩, crippled ⟨vikala⟩.

पूर्णं प्रदीप्ता विकलास्तु शून्यं मध्येऽनुपाताच्च शुभं क्रमेण । अनुक्रमेणाशुभमेव कुर्युर्नामानुरूपाणि फलानि तेषाम्

pūrṇaṃ pradīptā vikalāstu śūnyaṃ madhye'nupātācca śubhaṃ krameṇa | anukrameṇāśubhameva kuryurnāmānurūpāṇi phalāni teṣām

The blazing ⟨grahas give⟩ the full ⟨fruit⟩, but the crippled ones nothing; those in between, by proportion, ⟨give⟩ the auspicious ⟨fruit⟩ in that order, and in the ⟨reverse⟩ order the inauspicious alone. Their fruits are in accordance with their names.

वीर्यं षड्विधमाह कालजबलं चेष्टाबलं स्वोच्चजं दिग्वीर्यं त्वयनोद्भवं दिविषदां स्थानोद्भवं च क्रमात् । निश्यारेन्दुसिताः परे दिवि सदा ज्ञः शुक्लपक्षे शुभाः कृष्णेऽन्ये च निजाब्दमासदिनहोरास्वङ्घ्रिवृद्ध्या क्रमात्

⟨The teacher⟩ has declared the strength (bala) of the dwellers in heaven ⟨the grahas⟩ to be of six kinds, in this order: strength born of time (kālaja), strength of motion (ceṣṭā), that born of one's own exaltation, directional strength (dig-vīrya), that arising from the ayana, and that arising from position (sthāna). By night Mars, the Moon and Venus ⟨are strong⟩; the rest by day; Mercury always. The benefics ⟨are strong⟩ in the bright fortnight, the others in the dark. And ⟨the lords⟩ of one's own year, month, day and horā ⟨are strong⟩, by an increase of a quarter successively.

राकाचन्द्रस्य चेष्टाबलमुदगयने भास्वतो वक्रगानां युद्धे चोदक्स्थितानां स्फुटबहुलरुचां स्वोच्चवीर्यं स्वतुङ्गे । दिग्वीर्यं खेऽर्कभौमौ सुहृदि शशिसितौ विद्गुरू लग्नगौ चेन्मन्देऽस्ते याम्यमार्गे बुधशनिशशिनोऽन्येऽयनाख्ये परस्मिन्

The full Moon has strength of motion (ceṣṭā-bala); so has the Sun in the northern course; ⟨so have⟩ those in retrograde motion, and, in a graha-war, those standing to the north and of clear, abundant lustre. A graha has its exaltation-strength when in its own exaltation. Directional strength ⟨belongs to⟩ the Sun and Mars in the mid-heaven ⟨the 10th⟩, to the Moon and Venus in the 4th, to Mercury and Jupiter if they are placed in the lagna, and to Saturn in the 7th ⟨the setting place⟩. In the southern course ⟨are strong⟩ Mercury, Saturn and the Moon; the others in the other ayana.

स्वोच्चस्वर्क्षसुहृद्गृहेषु बलिनः षट्सु स्ववर्गेषु वा प्रोक्तं स्थानबलं चतुष्टयमुखात्पूर्णार्द्धपादाः क्रमात् । मध्याद्यन्तकषण्डमर्त्यवनिताः खेटा बलिष्ठाः क्रमात् मन्दारज्ञगुरूशनोब्जरवयो नैजे बले वर्द्धनाः

Grahas are strong in their own exaltation, in their own sign, in a friend's house, or in the six divisions of their own ⟨ṣaḍvarga⟩: this is called positional strength (sthāna-bala). Beginning from the kendras ⟨and so through the succedent and cadent houses⟩ ⟨they have⟩ full, half and a quarter ⟨strength⟩ respectively. The neuter, the male and the female grahas are strong in the middle, the first and the last ⟨drekkāṇa⟩ respectively. Saturn, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, the Moon and the Sun increase ⟨each over the last⟩ in their natural strength.

वक्रं गतो रुचिररश्मिमसमहपूर्णो नीचारिभांशसहितोऽपि भवेत्स खेटः । वीर्यानिवतस्तुहिनरश्मिरिवोच्चमित्रस्वक्षेत्रगोऽपि विबलो हतदीधितिश्चेत्

A graha that has gone retrograde, of lovely rays and full ⟨orb⟩, becomes strong even though it stands in a debilitation sign, an enemy's sign or ⟨their⟩ aṃśa — like the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩. And even one placed in exaltation, in a friend's sign or in its own field is without strength if its rays are struck down ⟨combust⟩.

तुङ्गस्था बलिनोऽखिलाश्च शशिनः श्लाघ्यं हि पक्षोद्भवं भानोर्दिग्बलमाह वक्रगमने ताराग्रहाणां बलम् । कर्क्युक्षाजघटालिगोहिरबलान्त्योक्षाश्विपाश्चात्यगः केतुस्तत्परिवेषधन्वसु बली चेन्द्वर्कयोगो निशि

All ⟨grahas⟩ placed in exaltation are strong; for the Moon it is the strength born of the fortnight that is commended; for the Sun he declares directional strength ⟨to be chief⟩; and for the star-grahas, strength ⟨lies⟩ in retrograde motion. ⟨The second hemistich — a list of rāśis, with a mention of Ketu, of a halo (pariveṣa) and of a bow/rainbow (dhanus), and of a Moon-Sun conjunction at night — is not rendered: see note.⟩

रूपं मानुषभेऽलिभेऽङ्घ्रिरपरेष्वर्द्धं बलं स्यात्तनोः तुल्यं स्वामिबलेन चोपचयगे नाथेऽतिवीर्योत्कटम् । स्वामीज्यज्ञयुतेक्षिते कवियुते चान्यैरयुक्तेक्षिते शर्वर्यां निशि राशयोऽहनि परे वीर्यान्विताः कीर्तिताः

A full ⟨rūpa of strength belongs to the ascendant⟩ in a human sign, a quarter in Scorpio, and in the rest the body ⟨lagna⟩ has half strength. ⟨A bhāva's strength is⟩ equal to the strength of its lord, and when that lord is in an upacaya it is exceedingly powerful. ⟨A bhāva is strong⟩ when joined or aspected by its own lord, by Jupiter or by Mercury, when joined by Venus, and when unjoined and unaspected by others. ⟨Certain⟩ rāśis are declared to be possessed of strength by night, the rest by day.

स्वोच्चे पूर्णं स्वत्रिकोणे त्रिपादं स्वक्षेत्रेऽर्द्धं मित्रभे पादमेव । द्विट्क्षेत्रेऽल्पं नीचगेऽस्तं गतेऽपि क्षेत्रं वीर्यं निष्फलं स्याद् ग्रहाणाम्

In its own exaltation, full ⟨strength⟩; in its own trikoṇa, three quarters; in its own sign, half; in a friend's sign, a quarter only. In an enemy's sign, little; and when debilitated, or when set ⟨combust⟩, the grahas' strength of place is fruitless.

केन्द्रे ग्रहाणामुदितं बलं यत्सुखे नभस्यस्तगृहे विलग्ने । उपर्युपर्युक्तपदक्रमेण बलाभिवृद्धिं हि विकल्पयन्ति

kendre grahāṇāmuditaṃ balaṃ yatsukhe nabhasyastagṛhe vilagne | uparyuparyuktapadakrameṇa balābhivṛddhiṃ hi vikalpayanti

The strength declared for grahas in a kendra — that is, in the 4th ⟨sukha⟩, in the mid-heaven ⟨10th⟩, in the setting house ⟨7th⟩ and in the lagna — they reckon to increase one above the other, by the order of the quarters ⟨already⟩ stated.

श्रेष्ठेति सा सप्तमदृष्टिरेव सर्वत्र वाच्या न तथाऽन्यदृष्टिः । योगादिषु न्यूनफलप्रदेति विशेषदृष्टिर्न तु कैश्चिदुक्ता

śreṣṭheti sā saptamadṛṣṭireva sarvatra vācyā na tathā'nyadṛṣṭiḥ | yogādiṣu nyūnaphalapradeti viśeṣadṛṣṭirna tu kaiściduktā

It is the seventh aspect alone that is to be called the best, everywhere; not so the other aspects. In yogas and the rest ⟨those others⟩ give a lesser result; and the special aspect ⟨of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn⟩ has not been stated by some ⟨authorities⟩.

नैसर्गिकं शत्रुसुहृत्त्वमेव भवेत्प्रमाणं फलकारि सम्यक् । तात्कालिकं कार्यवशेन वाच्यं तच्छत्रुमित्रत्वमनित्यमेव

naisargikaṃ śatrusuhṛttvameva bhavetpramāṇaṃ phalakāri samyak | tātkālikaṃ kāryavaśena vācyaṃ tacchatrumitratvamanityameva

It is natural enmity and friendship that is the standard, and it produces results correctly. The temporary ⟨relation⟩ is to be spoken of according to the matter in hand; that enmity and friendship is impermanent indeed.

निःशेषदोषहरणे शुभवर्द्धने च वीर्यं गुरोरधिकमस्त्यखिलग्रहेभ्यः । तद्वीर्यपाददलशक्तिभृतौ ज्ञशुक्रौ चान्द्रं बलं तु निखिलग्रहवीर्यबीजम्

niḥśeṣadoṣaharaṇe śubhavarddhane ca vīryaṃ guroradhikamastyakhilagrahebhyaḥ | tadvīryapādadalaśaktibhṛtau jñaśukrau cāndraṃ balaṃ tu nikhilagrahavīryabījam

In removing every blemish and in increasing what is auspicious, Jupiter's strength is greater than that of all the grahas. Mercury and Venus bear a quarter and a half of that strength ⟨respectively⟩. But the strength of the Moon is the seed of the strength of all the grahas.

जन्मर्क्षविघटी नीतैर्ज्ञानाङ्गैर्ननयैर्भजेत् । लब्धाश्चन्द्रक्रियावस्थावेलाख्यास्तत्फलं क्रमात्

janmarkṣavighaṭī nītairjñānāṅgairnanayairbhajet | labdhāścandrakriyāvasthāvelākhyāstatphalaṃ kramāt

One should divide the vighaṭīs elapsed in the birth nakṣatra by ⟨…the three divisors, lost here…⟩; the quotients obtained are called, in order, the Candra-kriyā, the Candra-avasthā and the Candra-velā, and ⟨so are⟩ their results.

स्थानाद्भ्रष्टस्तपस्वी परयुवतिरतो द्यूतकृद्धस्तिमुख्यारूढः सिंहासनस्थो नरपतिररिहा दण्डनेता गुणी च । निष्प्राणश्छिन्नमूर्द्धा क्षतकरचरणो बन्धनस्थो विनष्टो राजा वेदानधीते स्वपिति सुचरितः संस्मृतो धर्मकर्ता

Fallen from his station; an ascetic; given to another's wife; a gambler; mounted on an elephant or the like; seated on a lion-throne; a king; a slayer of foes; a wielder of the rod; and accomplished ⟨in virtues⟩; lifeless; with his head severed; with hands and feet maimed; held in bonds; utterly ruined; a king; he studies the Vedas; he sleeps; of good conduct; held in remembrance; a doer of dharma.

सद्वंश्यो निधिसंगतः श्रुतकुलो व्याख्यापरः शत्रुहा रोगी शत्रुजितः स्वदेशचलितो भृत्यो विनष्टार्थकः । अस्थानी च सुमन्त्रकः परमहीभर्ता सभार्यो गजत्रस्तः संयुगभीतिमानतिभयो लीनोन्नदाताग्निगः

sadvaṃśyo nidhisaṃgataḥ śrutakulo vyākhyāparaḥ śatruhā rogī śatrujitaḥ svadeśacalito bhṛtyo vinaṣṭārthakaḥ | asthānī ca sumantrakaḥ paramahībhartā sabhāryo gajatrastaḥ saṃyugabhītimānatibhayo līnonnadātāgnigaḥ

Of a good lineage; come upon a treasure; of a learned family; devoted to expounding ⟨the śāstra⟩; a slayer of enemies; diseased; conquered by enemies; driven from his own country; a servant; one whose wealth is destroyed; without station; a good counsellor; lord of a great realm; ⟨seated⟩ with his wife; terrified by an elephant; fearful in battle; in extreme fear; in hiding; a giver of food; gone into the fire.

क्षुद्बाधासहितोऽन्नमत्ति विचरन्मांसाशनोऽस्त्रक्षतः सोद्वाहो धृतकन्दुको विहरति द्यूतैर्नृपो दुःखितः । शय्यास्थो रिपुसेवितश्च ससुहृद्योगी च भार्यान्वितो मिष्टाशी च पयः पिबन् सुकृतकृत् स्वस्थस्तथास्ते सुखम्

kṣudbādhāsahito'nnamatti vicaranmāṃsāśano'strakṣataḥ sodvāho dhṛtakanduko viharati dyūtairnṛpo duḥkhitaḥ | śayyāstho ripusevitaśca sasuhṛdyogī ca bhāryānvito miṣṭāśī ca payaḥ piban sukṛtakṛt svasthastathāste sukham

Afflicted by hunger; he eats food; wandering; eating flesh; wounded by a weapon; being married; holding a ball ⟨at play⟩; he sports with dice; a king; sorrowful; lying on a bed; served by enemies; with friends; a yogin; possessed of a wife; eating sweets; and drinking milk; a doer of good deeds; sound in himself — and so he remains in comfort.

आत्मस्थानात्प्रवासो महितनृपहितो दासता प्राणहानिर्भूपालत्वं स्ववंशोचितगुणनिरतो रोग आस्थानवत्त्वम् । भीतिः क्षुद्बाधितत्वं युवतिपरिणयो रम्यशय्यानुषक्ति मृष्टाशित्वं च गीता इति नियमवशात्सद्भिरिन्दोरवस्था

ātmasthānātpravāso mahitanṛpahito dāsatā prāṇahānirbhūpālatvaṃ svavaṃśocitaguṇanirato roga āsthānavattvam | bhītiḥ kṣudbādhitatvaṃ yuvatipariṇayo ramyaśayyānuṣakti mṛṣṭāśitvaṃ ca gītā iti niyamavaśātsadbhirindoravasthā

Exile from one's own place; honoured and devoted to the king; servitude; loss of life; kingship; devoted to the qualities befitting his own line; disease; possession of a station ⟨assembly⟩; fear; being afflicted by hunger; marriage with a young woman; attachment to a lovely bed; and the eating of dainty food. Thus, by rule, have the avasthās of the Moon been sung by the good.

मूर्द्धामयो मुदितता यजनं सुखस्थो नेत्रामयः सुखितता वनिताविहारः । उग्रज्वरः कनकभूषणमश्रुमोक्षः क्ष्वेलाशनं निधुवनं जठरस्य रोगः

mūrddhāmayo muditatā yajanaṃ sukhastho netrāmayaḥ sukhitatā vanitāvihāraḥ | ugrajvaraḥ kanakabhūṣaṇamaśrumokṣaḥ kṣvelāśanaṃ nidhuvanaṃ jaṭharasya rogaḥ

Headache; gladness; the performing of worship; staying at ease; disease of the eye; happiness; dallying with a woman; a raging fever; a golden ornament; the shedding of tears; the eating of poison; sexual union; disease of the belly.

क्रीडा जले हसनचित्रविलेखने च क्रोधश्च नृत्तकरणं घृतभुक्तिनिद्रे । दानक्रिया दशनरुक् कलहः प्रयाणमुन्मत्तता च सलिलाप्लवनं विरोधः

krīḍā jale hasanacitravilekhane ca krodhaśca nṛttakaraṇaṃ ghṛtabhuktinidre | dānakriyā daśanaruk kalahaḥ prayāṇamunmattatā ca salilāplavanaṃ virodhaḥ

Play in water; laughter, and the drawing of pictures; anger; the performing of dance; the eating of ghee, and sleep; the act of giving; toothache; quarrel; a journey; madness; plunging into water; hostility.

स्वेच्छास्नानं क्षुद्भयं शास्त्रलाभं स्वैरं गोष्ठी योधनं पुण्यकर्म । पापाचारः क्रूरकर्मा प्रहर्षं प्राज्ञैरेवं चन्द्रवेला प्रदिष्टा

svecchāsnānaṃ kṣudbhayaṃ śāstralābhaṃ svairaṃ goṣṭhī yodhanaṃ puṇyakarma | pāpācāraḥ krūrakarmā praharṣaṃ prājñairevaṃ candravelā pradiṣṭā

Bathing at will; fear of hunger; the gaining of a śāstra; unconstrained company ⟨and talk⟩; fighting; a meritorious deed; evil conduct; a doer of cruel deeds; great delight. Thus has the Candra-velā been set forth by the wise.

जातके च मुहूर्ते च प्रश्ने चन्द्रक्रियादयः । सम्यक् फलप्रदास्तस्माद्विशेषेण विचिन्तयेत्

jātake ca muhūrte ca praśne candrakriyādayaḥ | samyak phalapradāstasmādviśeṣeṇa vicintayet

In a nativity, in a muhūrta ⟨election⟩ and in a praśna, the Candra-kriyā and the rest give their results correctly; therefore one should consider them with special care.

पक्षोद्भवं हिमकरस्य विशिष्टमाहुः स्थानोद्भवं तु बलमप्यधिकं परेषाम् । तत्सम्प्रयुक्तमितरैरधिकाधिकं स्यादन्यानि तेन सदृशानि बहूनि ते स्युः

pakṣodbhavaṃ himakarasya viśiṣṭamāhuḥ sthānodbhavaṃ tu balamapyadhikaṃ pareṣām | tatsamprayuktamitarairadhikādhikaṃ syādanyāni tena sadṛśāni bahūni te syuḥ

For the Moon they call the strength born of the fortnight ⟨pakṣa⟩ the special one; but for the others it is the strength arising from position that is the greater. That, when joined with the rest, becomes greater and greater still; and many others like it may ⟨likewise⟩ be theirs.

सार्द्धानि षट्तीक्ष्णकरो बलीयान् चन्द्रस्तु षट्पञ्च वसुन्धराजः सप्तेन्दुसूनो रविवद्गुरोस्तु सार्द्धानि पञ्चाथ सितो बली स्यात्

sārddhāni ṣaṭtīkṣṇakaro balīyān candrastu ṣaṭpañca vasundharājaḥ saptendusūno ravivadgurostu sārddhāni pañcātha sito balī syāt

The sharp-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩ is strong with six and a half; the Moon with six; the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩ with five; the son of the Moon ⟨Mercury⟩ with seven; Jupiter's ⟨is⟩ as the Sun's ⟨six and a half⟩; and then Venus is strong with five and a half.

मन्दस्तु पञ्चैव हि षड्बलानां संयोग एवापरथान्यथा स्युः । एवं ग्रहाणां स्वबलाबलानि विचिन्त्य सम्यक्कथयेत्फलानि

mandastu pañcaiva hi ṣaḍbalānāṃ saṃyoga evāparathānyathā syuḥ | evaṃ grahāṇāṃ svabalābalāni vicintya samyakkathayetphalāni

Saturn, however, with just five. ⟨These figures⟩ are the union of the six strengths; otherwise ⟨falling short of them⟩ they would be otherwise. Thus, having well considered the strength and weakness of the grahas, one should declare the results correctly.

लग्नादिकानामधिपस्य पिण्डे रूपान्विते तद्बलपिण्डमाहुः । गृहस्य यस्यां दिशिदिग्बलं स्यात्तद्भाववीर्यं सहितस्य दृष्ट्या

lagnādikānāmadhipasya piṇḍe rūpānvite tadbalapiṇḍamāhuḥ | gṛhasya yasyāṃ diśidigbalaṃ syāttadbhāvavīryaṃ sahitasya dṛṣṭyā

When the piṇḍa ⟨the aggregate strength⟩ of the lord of the lagna and of the rest is joined with a rūpa ⟨one unit⟩, they call that the bala-piṇḍa of ⟨that house⟩. In whichever direction a house has its directional strength ⟨there it gains⟩, together with the strength of that bhāva ⟨obtained⟩ by aspect.

अर्थाप्तिं कथयेद्विलग्नशशिनोः प्राबल्यतः खेचरैः कर्मस्थैः पितृमातृशात्रवसुहृद्भ्रात्रादिभिः स्त्रीधनात् । भृत्याद्वा दिननाथलग्नशशिनां मध्ये बलीयांस्ततः कर्मेशस्थनवांशराशिपवशाद्वृत्तिं जगुस्तद्विदः

Declare the gaining of wealth from the grahas standing in the tenth house (karma-bhāva), ⟨reckoned⟩ from the lagna or from the Moon according to which of the two is the stronger — ⟨wealth⟩ through father, mother, enemies, friends, brothers and the rest, from a woman's wealth, or from servants. Then, of the Sun, the lagna and the Moon, ⟨take⟩ whichever is the strongest; and from the lord of the sign of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the tenth ⟨from that⟩, those who know ⟨this science⟩ have declared the livelihood.

फलद्रुमैर्मन्त्रजपैश्च शाठ्याद्द्यूतानृतैः कंबलभेषजाद्यैः धातुक्रियाद्वा क्षितिपालपूज्याज्जीवत्यसौ पङ्कजवल्लभांशे

phaladrumairmantrajapaiśca śāṭhyāddyūtānṛtaiḥ kaṃbalabheṣajādyaiḥ dhātukriyādvā kṣitipālapūjyājjīvatyasau paṅkajavallabhāṃśe

In the navāṃśa of the lotus's beloved ⟨the Sun⟩ he lives by fruit-trees, by the muttering of mantras, by roguery, by gambling and falsehood, by blankets, medicines and the like, by work in metals, or from what is held in honour by the ruler of the earth.

जलोद्भवानां क्रयविक्रयेण कृषिक्रियागोमहिषीसमुत्थैः । तीर्थाटनाद्वा वनिताश्रयाद्वा निशाकरांशे वसनक्रयाद्वा

jalodbhavānāṃ krayavikrayeṇa kṛṣikriyāgomahiṣīsamutthaiḥ | tīrthāṭanādvā vanitāśrayādvā niśākarāṃśe vasanakrayādvā

In the navāṃśa of the night-maker ⟨the Moon⟩, ⟨he lives⟩ by the buying and selling of things born in water, by ⟨what⟩ arises from tillage, from cows and from buffaloes, or by pilgrimage to the sacred fords, or by dependence on women, or by the purchase ⟨and sale⟩ of garments.

भौमांशके धातुरणप्रहारैर्महानसाद्भूमिवशात्सुवर्णात् । परोपतापायुधसाहसैर्वा म्लेच्छाश्रयात्सूचकचोरवृत्त्या

bhaumāṃśake dhāturaṇaprahārairmahānasādbhūmivaśātsuvarṇāt | paropatāpāyudhasāhasairvā mlecchāśrayātsūcakacoravṛttyā

In the navāṃśa of Bhauma ⟨Mars⟩, ⟨he lives⟩ by metals, by war and by dealing blows, from the kitchen, by means of land, from gold, or by tormenting others, by weapons and by deeds of violence, by taking shelter with mlecchas, ⟨and⟩ by the trade of an informer or a thief.

काव्यागमैर्लेखकलिप्युपायैर्ज्योतिर्गणज्ञानवशाद्बुधांशे । परार्थवेदाध्ययनाज्जपाच्च पुरोहितव्याजवशात्प्रवृत्तिः

kāvyāgamairlekhakalipyupāyairjyotirgaṇajñānavaśādbudhāṃśe | parārthavedādhyayanājjapācca purohitavyājavaśātpravṛttiḥ

In the navāṃśa of Budha ⟨Mercury⟩, the occupation ⟨comes⟩ by poetry and the āgamas, by the devices of the scribe and of writing, by virtue of a knowledge of astrology and reckoning, from reciting the Veda for others, from japa, and by way of the guise of a purohita ⟨household priest⟩.

जीवांशके भूसुरदेवतानां समाश्रयाद्भूमिपतिप्रसादात् । पुराणशास्त्रागमनीतिमार्गाद्धर्मोपदेशेन कुसीदवृत्त्या

jīvāṃśake bhūsuradevatānāṃ samāśrayādbhūmipatiprasādāt | purāṇaśāstrāgamanītimārgāddharmopadeśena kusīdavṛttyā

In the navāṃśa of Jīva ⟨Jupiter⟩, ⟨he lives⟩ by resorting to the earth-gods ⟨brāhmaṇas⟩ and to the deities, by the favour of the lord of the land, by the way of the Purāṇas, the śāstras, the āgamas and polity, by the teaching of dharma, ⟨and⟩ by the business of usury.

स्त्रीसंश्रयाद्गोमहिषीगजाश्वैस्तौर्यत्रिकैर्वा रजतैश्च गन्धैः । क्षीराद्यलङ्कारपटीपटाद्यैः शुक्रांशकेऽमात्यगुणैः कवित्वात्

In the navāṃśa of Śukra ⟨Venus⟩, ⟨he lives⟩ by resorting to women, by cows, buffaloes, elephants and horses, or by the threefold art of music ⟨song, instrumental music and dance⟩, by silver and by perfumes, by milk and the rest, by ornaments, by cloths ⟨fine and coarse⟩ and so on, by the qualities of a minister, ⟨and⟩ from poetry.

शन्यंशके मूलफलैः श्रमेण प्रेष्यैः खलैर्नीचधनैः कुधान्यैः । भारोद्वहात्कुत्सितमार्गवृत्त्या शिल्पादिभिर्दारुमयैर्वधाद्यैः

śanyaṃśake mūlaphalaiḥ śrameṇa preṣyaiḥ khalairnīcadhanaiḥ kudhānyaiḥ | bhārodvahātkutsitamārgavṛttyā śilpādibhirdārumayairvadhādyaiḥ

In the navāṃśa of Śani ⟨Saturn⟩, ⟨he lives⟩ by roots and fruits, by toil, by menials, by wicked men, by base wealth, by inferior grains, by carrying loads, by the practice of a despicable way ⟨of life⟩, by crafts and the like, by things made of wood, ⟨and⟩ by slaughter and the like.

अंशेशे बलवत्ययत्नधनसम्प्राप्तिं बलोनेंशपे स्वल्पं प्रोक्तफलं भवेदुदयतः कर्मर्क्षदेशे फलम् । अंशस्योक्तदिशं वदेत्पतियुते दृष्टे स्वदेशे फलं सत्यन्यैः परदेशजं तदधिपस्यांशे स्वदेशे स्थिरे

aṃśeśe balavatyayatnadhanasamprāptiṃ baloneṃśape svalpaṃ proktaphalaṃ bhavedudayataḥ karmarkṣadeśe phalam | aṃśasyoktadiśaṃ vadetpatiyute dṛṣṭe svadeśe phalaṃ satyanyaiḥ paradeśajaṃ tadadhipasyāṃśe svadeśe sthire

When the lord of the navāṃśa is strong, ⟨declare⟩ the gaining of wealth without effort; when the lord of the navāṃśa is wanting in strength, the result declared will be slight. Reckoned from the lagna, the fruit ⟨is had⟩ in the country of the tenth sign; ⟨or⟩ one should declare the direction laid down for the navāṃśa. If ⟨that lord is⟩ joined with or aspected by its own lord, the fruit stands in his own country; ⟨if⟩ by others, it is one produced in a foreign land. ⟨And⟩ when the navāṃśa of that lord is a fixed ⟨sign⟩, ⟨the fruit is⟩ in his own country.

रुचकभद्रकहंसकमालवाः सशशका इति पञ्च च कीर्तिताः । स्वभवनोच्चगतेषु चतुष्टये क्षितिसुतादिषु तान् क्रमशो वदेत्

rucakabhadrakahaṃsakamālavāḥ saśaśakā iti pañca ca kīrtitāḥ | svabhavanoccagateṣu catuṣṭaye kṣitisutādiṣu tān kramaśo vadet

Rucaka, Bhadraka, Haṃsaka, Mālava, and with them Śaśaka — these five are declared. When Mars and the rest ⟨Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn⟩ stand in their own house or in exaltation, and in one of the four kendras, one should declare them ⟨these five yogas⟩ in order.

दीर्घास्यो बहुसाहसाप्तविभवः शूरोऽरिहन्ता बली गर्विष्ठो रुचके प्रतीतगुणवान् सेनापतिर्जित्वरः । आयुष्मान् सकुशाग्रबुद्धिरमलो विद्वज्जनश्लाघितो भूपो भद्रकयोगजोऽतिविभवश्चास्थानकोलाहलः

Long-faced, his wealth won by much daring, brave, a slayer of foes, strong, proud, of acknowledged virtues, a commander of armies, victorious — ⟨such is one born⟩ in Rucaka. Long-lived, his mind keen as the tip of kuśa grass, spotless, praised by the learned, a king, of very great wealth, and one whose presence sets the assembly in an uproar — ⟨such is⟩ one born of the Bhadraka yoga.

हंसे सद्भिरभिष्टुतः क्षितिपतिः शङ्खाब्जमत्स्याङ्कुशैश्चिह्नैः पादकराङ्कितः शुभवपुर्मृष्टान्नभुग्धार्मिकः । पुष्टाङ्गो धृतिमान्धनी सुतवधूभाग्यान्वितो वर्धनो मालव्ये सुखभुक्सुवाहनयशा विद्वान्प्रसन्नेन्द्रियः

In Haṃsa: praised by the good, a king, his feet and hands marked with the signs of conch, lotus, fish and goad, of auspicious body, eating well-dressed food, and righteous. In Mālavya: of well-filled limbs, steadfast, wealthy, endowed with sons, wife and good fortune, prospering, enjoying comfort, of fine vehicles and fame, learned, and clear in his senses.

शस्तः सर्वजनैः सुभृत्यबलवान् ग्रामाधिपो वा नृपो दुर्वृत्तः शशयोगजोऽन्यवनितावित्तान्वितः सौख्यवान् । लग्नेन्द्वोरपि योगपञ्चकमिदं साम्राज्यसिद्धिप्रदं तेष्वेकादिषु भाग्यवान् नृपसमो राजा नृपेन्द्रोऽधिकः

Praised by all people, strong in good servants, a village headman or a king, ⟨yet⟩ of evil conduct, endowed with other men's women and with wealth, and comfortable — such is one born of the Śaśa yoga. This set of five yogas ⟨is reckoned⟩ from the ascendant and from the Moon alike, and it bestows the winning of imperial rule: of these, ⟨with⟩ one he is fortunate, ⟨with two⟩ the equal of a king, ⟨with three⟩ a king, ⟨with four⟩ a lord of kings, ⟨with five⟩ greater still.

विधोस्तु सुनफानफाधुरुधराः स्वरिःफोभयस्थितैर्विरविभिर्ग्रहैरितरथा तु केमद्रुमः । हिमत्विषि चतुष्टये ग्रहयुतेऽथ केमद्रुमो न हीति कथितोऽथवा हिमकराद्ग्रहैः केन्द्रगैः

vidhostu sunaphānaphādhurudharāḥ svariḥphobhayasthitairviravibhirgrahairitarathā tu kemadrumaḥ | himatviṣi catuṣṭaye grahayute'tha kemadrumo na hīti kathito'thavā himakarādgrahaiḥ kendragaiḥ

Of the Moon, ⟨there are⟩ Sunaphā, Anaphā and Durudharā, from grahas other than the Sun standing in the second, in the twelfth, or in both; otherwise Kemadruma. And when the Moon is joined by a graha, or when a kendra is occupied by grahas, then there is no Kemadruma — so it is declared; or ⟨likewise⟩ when there are grahas standing in the kendras from the Moon.

स्वयमधिगतवित्तः पार्थिवस्तत्समो वा भवति हि सुनफायां धीधनख्यातिमांश्च । प्रभुरगदशरीरः शीलवान् ख्यातकीर्तिर्विषयसुखसुवेषो निर्वृतश्चानफायाम्

svayamadhigatavittaḥ pārthivastatsamo vā bhavati hi sunaphāyāṃ dhīdhanakhyātimāṃśca | prabhuragadaśarīraḥ śīlavān khyātakīrtirviṣayasukhasuveṣo nirvṛtaścānaphāyām

In Sunaphā he wins wealth by himself, and becomes a king or the equal of one, and is possessed of understanding, wealth and fame. In Anaphā he is a master, of a body free from disease, of good character, of established renown, given to the pleasures of the senses and finely dressed, and content.

उत्पन्नभोगसुखभाग्धनवाहनाढ्यस्त्यागान्वितो धुरुधुराप्रभवः सभृत्यः । केमद्रुमे मलिनदुःखितनीचनिःस्वाः प्रेष्याः खलाश्च नृपतेरपि वंशजाताः

One born of Durudhurā enjoys the pleasures and comforts that come to him, is rich in wealth and vehicles, is open-handed, and has servants ⟨under him⟩. In Kemadruma ⟨men are⟩ filthy, miserable, base and destitute, menials and scoundrels — even those born in the lineage of a king.

हित्वेन्दुं शुभवेसिवास्युभयचर्याख्याः स्वरिःफोभयस्थानस्थैः सवितुः शुभैः स्युरशुभैस्ते पापसंज्ञाः स्मृताः । सत्पार्श्वे शुभकर्तरीत्युदयभे पापैस्तु पापाह्वयो लग्नाद्वित्तगतैः शुभैस्तु सुशुभो योगो न पापेक्षितैः

hitvenduṃ śubhavesivāsyubhayacaryākhyāḥ svariḥphobhayasthānasthaiḥ savituḥ śubhaiḥ syuraśubhaiste pāpasaṃjñāḥ smṛtāḥ | satpārśve śubhakartarītyudayabhe pāpaistu pāpāhvayo lagnādvittagataiḥ śubhaistu suśubho yogo na pāpekṣitaiḥ

Excluding the Moon, benefics standing in the second from the Sun, in the twelfth, or in both places give the yogas named ⟨Śubha-⟩vesi, ⟨Śubha-⟩vāsi and ⟨Śubha-⟩ubhayacarī; formed by malefics, those same are remembered under the name pāpa. With benefics on either side of the rising sign it is Śubhakartarī, but with malefics it bears the name Pāpa⟨kartarī⟩. And with benefics occupying the second from the ascendant, not aspected by malefics, the yoga is Suśubha.

जातः स्यात् सुभगः सुखी गुणनिधिर्धीरो नृपो धार्मिको विख्यातः सकलप्रियोऽतिसुभगो दाता महीशप्रियः । चार्वङ्गः प्रियवाक्प्रपञ्चरसिको वाग्मी यशस्वी धनी विद्यादत्र सुवेसिवास्युभयचर्याख्येषु पादक्रमात्

⟨In the first⟩ one born is fortunate, happy, a treasury of virtues, steady, a king, righteous; ⟨in the second⟩ renowned, dear to all, exceedingly fortunate, a giver, dear to the lord of the land; ⟨in the third⟩ of comely limbs, of pleasant speech, relishing display, eloquent, illustrious, wealthy. Let these be known here in the ⟨yogas⟩ named Su-vesi, ⟨Su-⟩vāsi and ⟨Su-⟩ubhayacarī, quarter by quarter.

अन्यायाज्जननिन्दको हतरुचिर्हीनप्रियो दुर्जनोमायावी परनिन्दकः खलयुतो दुर्वृत्तशास्त्राधिकः । लोके स्यादपकीर्तिदुःखितमना विद्यार्थभाग्यैश्च्युतो जातश्चाशुभवेसिवास्युभयचर्याख्येषु पादक्रमात्

anyāyājjananindako hatarucirhīnapriyo durjanomāyāvī paranindakaḥ khalayuto durvṛttaśāstrādhikaḥ | loke syādapakīrtiduḥkhitamanā vidyārthabhāgyaiścyuto jātaścāśubhavesivāsyubhayacaryākhyeṣu pādakramāt

⟨In the first⟩ he reviles people unjustly, his lustre is destroyed, he is attached to the base, an evil man; ⟨in the second⟩ deceitful, a slanderer of others, in the company of scoundrels, well advanced in the lore of wicked conduct; ⟨in the third⟩ in the world he is of ill repute, his mind wrung with sorrow, fallen away from learning, wealth and fortune. So is one born under the ⟨yogas⟩ named Aśubha-vesi, ⟨Aśubha-⟩vāsi and ⟨Aśubha-⟩ubhayacarī, quarter by quarter.

जैवातृको विभयरोगरिपुः सुखी स्यादाढ्यः श्रिया च शुभकर्तरियोग जातः । निःस्वोऽशुचिर्विसुखदारसुतोऽङ्गहीनः स्यात्पापकर्तरिभवोऽचिरमायुरेति

jaivātṛko vibhayarogaripuḥ sukhī syādāḍhyaḥ śriyā ca śubhakartariyoga jātaḥ | niḥsvo'śucirvisukhadārasuto'ṅgahīnaḥ syātpāpakartaribhavo'ciramāyureti

One born of the Śubhakartarī yoga is long-lived, free from fear, disease and enemies, happy, and rich in prosperity. One born of the Pāpakartarī is destitute, unclean, deprived of the happiness of wife and sons, defective in a limb, and comes to a short life.

आचारवान् धर्ममतिः प्रसन्नः सौभाग्यवान् पार्थिवमाननीयः । मृदुस्वभावः स्मितभाषणश्च धनी भवेच्चामलयोगजातः

ācāravān dharmamatiḥ prasannaḥ saubhāgyavān pārthivamānanīyaḥ | mṛdusvabhāvaḥ smitabhāṣaṇaśca dhanī bhaveccāmalayogajātaḥ

Of good conduct, his mind on dharma, cheerful, fortunate, honoured by the ruler, gentle in disposition, smiling in his speech, and wealthy — such is one born of the Amala yoga.

सुशुभे शुभकर्तर्यां वेस्यादौ सुनभादिवत् । शुभैः क्रमात्फलं ज्ञेयं विपरीतमसद्ग्रहैः

suśubhe śubhakartaryāṃ vesyādau sunabhādivat | śubhaiḥ kramātphalaṃ jñeyaṃ viparītamasadgrahaiḥ

In Suśubha, in Śubhakartarī, and in Vesi and the rest, ⟨the fruits are⟩ as in Sunaphā and the rest: with benefics the fruit is to be known in that order, and the contrary with malefic grahas.

ओजेष्वर्केन्दुलग्नान्यजनि दिवि पुमांश्चेन्महाभाग्ययोगः स्त्रीणान्तद्व्यत्ययेस्याच्छशिनि सुरगुरोः केन्द्रगे केसरीति । जीवान्त्याष्टारिसंस्थे शशिनि तु शकटः केन्द्रगे नास्ति लग्नाच्चन्द्रे केन्द्रादिगेऽर्कादधमसमवरिष्ठाख्ययोगाः प्रसिद्धाः

ojeṣvarkendulagnānyajani divi pumāṃścenmahābhāgyayogaḥ strīṇāntadvyatyayesyācchaśini suraguroḥ kendrage kesarīti | jīvāntyāṣṭārisaṃsthe śaśini tu śakaṭaḥ kendrage nāsti lagnāccandre kendrādige'rkādadhamasamavariṣṭhākhyayogāḥ prasiddhāḥ

If the Sun, the Moon and the ascendant are in odd signs and ⟨the birth⟩ took place by day, and the native is male, it is the Mahābhāgya yoga; for women it is the reverse of that ⟨even signs, and birth by night⟩. When Jupiter is in a kendra from the Moon, that is Kesari. But when the Moon stands in the twelfth, the eighth or the sixth from Jupiter it is Śakaṭa — it does not exist when ⟨Jupiter⟩ is in a kendra from the ascendant. And when the Moon is in a kendra ⟨a paṇaphara, an āpoklima⟩ from the Sun, the yogas named Adhama, Sama and Variṣṭha are well known.

महाभाग्ये जातः सकलनयनानन्दजनको वदान्यो विख्यातः क्षितिपतिरशीत्यायुरमलः । वधूनां योगेऽस्मिन् सति धनसुमाङ्गल्यसहिता चिरं पुत्रैः पौत्रैः शुभमुपगता सा सुचरिता

mahābhāgye jātaḥ sakalanayanānandajanako vadānyo vikhyātaḥ kṣitipatiraśītyāyuramalaḥ | vadhūnāṃ yoge'smin sati dhanasumāṅgalyasahitā ciraṃ putraiḥ pautraiḥ śubhamupagatā sā sucaritā

One born under Mahābhāgya gives joy to every eye, is open-handed, renowned, a ruler of the earth, of eighty years' life, and spotless. When this yoga is present in the case of women, she is possessed of wealth and full auspiciousness, and for long, through sons and grandsons, comes to good fortune; and she is of virtuous conduct.

केसरीव रिपुवर्गनिहन्ता प्रौढवाक् सदसि राजसवृत्तिः । दीर्घजीव्यतियशाः पटुबुद्धिस्तेजसा जयति केसरियोगे

kesarīva ripuvarganihantā prauḍhavāk sadasi rājasavṛttiḥ | dīrghajīvyatiyaśāḥ paṭubuddhistejasā jayati kesariyoge

In the Kesari yoga he destroys the ranks of his enemies as a lion does, is bold of speech in the assembly, royal in his conduct, long-lived, of great fame, of keen intellect, and conquers by his splendour.

क्वचित्क्वचिद्भाग्यपरिच्युतः सन्पुनः पुनः सर्वमुपैति भाग्यम् । लोकेऽप्रसिद्धोऽपरिहार्यमन्तः शल्यं प्रपन्नः शकटेऽतिदुःखी

kvacitkvacidbhāgyaparicyutaḥ sanpunaḥ punaḥ sarvamupaiti bhāgyam | loke'prasiddho'parihāryamantaḥ śalyaṃ prapannaḥ śakaṭe'tiduḥkhī

Here and there fallen from his fortune, he yet regains all his fortune again and again. Unknown in the world, and bearing within him a dart that cannot be drawn out, in Śakaṭa he is exceedingly wretched.

कष्टमध्यमवराह्वययोगे द्रव्यवाहनयशः सुखसम्पत् । ज्ञानधीविनय नैपुणविद्यात्यागभोगजफलान्यपि तद्वत्

kaṣṭamadhyamavarāhvayayoge dravyavāhanayaśaḥ sukhasampat | jñānadhīvinaya naipuṇavidyātyāgabhogajaphalānyapi tadvat

In the yogas named poor, middling and best ⟨Adhama, Sama, Variṣṭha⟩, ⟨there is⟩ wealth, vehicles, fame, comfort and prosperity ⟨in that measure⟩; and the fruits arising from knowledge, understanding, modesty, skill, learning, liberality and enjoyment are likewise.

चन्द्राद्वा वसुमांस्तथोपचयगैर्लग्नात्समस्तैः शुभैश्चन्द्राद्व्योम्न्यमलाह्वयः शुभखगैर्योगो विलग्नादपि । जन्मेशे सहिते विलग्नपतिना केन्द्रेऽधिमित्रर्क्षगे लग्नं पश्यति कश्चिदत्र बलवान्योगो भवेत्पुष्कलः

candrādvā vasumāṃstathopacayagairlagnātsamastaiḥ śubhaiścandrādvyomnyamalāhvayaḥ śubhakhagairyogo vilagnādapi | janmeśe sahite vilagnapatinā kendre'dhimitrarkṣage lagnaṃ paśyati kaścidatra balavānyogo bhavetpuṣkalaḥ

With all the benefics in the upacaya houses ⟨the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th⟩ from the Moon, or from the ascendant, ⟨it is⟩ Vasumat. With benefic grahas in the tenth from the Moon — or from the ascendant as well — ⟨it is⟩ the yoga named Amala. When the lord of the birth-sign is joined with the lord of the ascendant and is in a kendra in the sign of a great friend, and some strong ⟨graha⟩ aspects the ascendant, the yoga Puṣkala arises.

तिष्ठेयुः स्वगृहे सदा वसुमति द्रव्याण्यनल्पान्यपि क्ष्मेशः स्यादमले धनी सुतयशः सम्पद्युतो नीतिमान् । श्रीमान् पुष्कलयोगजो नृपवरैः संमानितो विश्रुतः स्वाकल्पाम्बरभूषितः शुभवचाः सर्वोत्तमः स्यात्प्रभुः

tiṣṭheyuḥ svagṛhe sadā vasumati dravyāṇyanalpānyapi kṣmeśaḥ syādamale dhanī sutayaśaḥ sampadyuto nītimān | śrīmān puṣkalayogajo nṛpavaraiḥ saṃmānito viśrutaḥ svākalpāmbarabhūṣitaḥ śubhavacāḥ sarvottamaḥ syātprabhuḥ

In Vasumat, goods in no small measure always abide in his own house. In Amala he becomes lord of the earth, wealthy, endowed with sons, fame and prosperity, and versed in policy. One born of the Puṣkala yoga is prosperous, honoured by the foremost of kings, widely renowned, adorned with fine ornaments and garments, auspicious in speech, and becomes a master, the best of all.

सर्वे पञ्चसु षट्सु सप्तसु शुभा मालाश्च पङ्क्त्या स्थिता यद्येवं मृतिषड्व्ययादिषुगृहेष्वत्राशुभाख्याः स्मृताः । स्वर्क्षोच्चे यदि कोणकण्टकयुतौ भाग्येशशुक्रावुभौ लक्ष्म्याख्योऽथ तथाविधे हिमकरे गौरीति जीवेक्षिते

sarve pañcasu ṣaṭsu saptasu śubhā mālāśca paṅktyā sthitā yadyevaṃ mṛtiṣaḍvyayādiṣugṛheṣvatrāśubhākhyāḥ smṛtāḥ | svarkṣocce yadi koṇakaṇṭakayutau bhāgyeśaśukrāvubhau lakṣmyākhyo'tha tathāvidhe himakare gaurīti jīvekṣite

If all ⟨the grahas⟩ stand in a row in five, six or seven ⟨houses⟩, they are the auspicious Mālās; if in this same way ⟨they stand⟩ in the houses beginning with the eighth, the sixth and the twelfth, then here they are remembered as bearing the name inauspicious. If both the lord of the ninth and Venus are in their own sign or exaltation and stand in a trikoṇa or a kendra, ⟨the yoga⟩ is named Lakṣmī; and when the Moon is placed in that same way and is aspected by Jupiter, that is Gaurī.

जनाधिकारी क्षितिपालशस्तो भोगी प्रदाता परकार्यकर्ता । बन्धुप्रियः सत्सुतदारयुक्तो धीरः सुमालाह्वययोगजातः

janādhikārī kṣitipālaśasto bhogī pradātā parakāryakartā | bandhupriyaḥ satsutadārayukto dhīraḥ sumālāhvayayogajātaḥ

He holds authority over men, is commended by the ruler of the land, an enjoyer, a giver, a doer of other men's business, dear to his kinsmen, endowed with good sons and a good wife, and steadfast — such is one born of the yoga named Sumālā ⟨the auspicious garland⟩.

कुमार्गयुक्तोऽशुभमालिकाख्ये दुःखी परेषां वधकृत् कृतघ्नः । स्यात्कातरो भूसुरभक्तिहीनो लोकाभिशप्तः कलहप्रियः स्यात्

kumārgayukto'śubhamālikākhye duḥkhī pareṣāṃ vadhakṛt kṛtaghnaḥ | syātkātaro bhūsurabhaktihīno lokābhiśaptaḥ kalahapriyaḥ syāt

In the ⟨yoga⟩ called Aśubhamālikā he keeps to evil ways, is miserable, a slayer of others, ungrateful; he is a coward, without devotion to the brāhmaṇas, cursed by the world, and fond of strife.

नित्यं मङ्गलशील्या वनितया क्रीडत्यरोगी धनी तेजस्वी स्वजनान् सुरक्षति महालक्ष्मीप्रसादालयः । श्रेष्ठान्दोलिकया प्रयाति तुरगस्तम्बेरमाध्यासितो लोकानन्दकरो महीपतिवरो दाता च लक्ष्मीभवः

nityaṃ maṅgalaśīlyā vanitayā krīḍatyarogī dhanī tejasvī svajanān surakṣati mahālakṣmīprasādālayaḥ | śreṣṭhāndolikayā prayāti turagastamberamādhyāsito lokānandakaro mahīpativaro dātā ca lakṣmībhavaḥ

He sports continually with a woman of auspicious character; free from disease, wealthy and full of lustre, he guards his own people well, and is a dwelling of Mahālakṣmī's favour. He goes forth in an excellent palanquin, seated upon horses and elephants; he is a giver of delight to the world, the foremost of the lords of the earth, and open-handed — such is one arisen from Lakṣmī.

सुन्दरगात्रः श्लाघितगोत्रः पार्थिवमित्रः सद्गुणपुत्रः । पङ्कजवक्त्रः संस्तुतजैत्रो राजति गौरीयोगसमुत्थः

sundaragātraḥ ślāghitagotraḥ pārthivamitraḥ sadguṇaputraḥ | paṅkajavaktraḥ saṃstutajaitro rājati gaurīyogasamutthaḥ

Of comely body, of a praised lineage, a friend of kings, with sons of good qualities, lotus-faced, praised as a victor — one arisen from the Gaurī yoga shines forth.

शुक्रवाक्पतिसुधाकरात्मजैः केन्द्रकोणसहितैर्द्वितीयगैः । स्वोच्चमित्रभवनेषु वाक्पतौ वीर्यगे सति सरस्वतीरिता

śukravākpatisudhākarātmajaiḥ kendrakoṇasahitairdvitīyagaiḥ | svoccamitrabhavaneṣu vākpatau vīryage sati sarasvatīritā

When Venus, Jupiter and Mercury occupy kendras and trikoṇas, or the second house, and Jupiter is in his exaltation, his own sign or a friend's house and is possessed of strength, the Sarasvatī ⟨yoga⟩ is declared.

धीमान्नाटकगद्यपद्यगणनालङ्कारशास्त्रेष्वयं निष्णातः कविताप्रबन्धरचनाशास्त्रार्थपारंगतः । कीर्त्याक्रान्तजगत्त्रयोऽतिधनिको दारात्मजैरन्वितः स्यात् सारस्वतयोगजो नृपवरैः सम्पूजितो भाग्यवान्

dhīmānnāṭakagadyapadyagaṇanālaṅkāraśāstreṣvayaṃ niṣṇātaḥ kavitāprabandharacanāśāstrārthapāraṃgataḥ | kīrtyākrāntajagattrayo'tidhaniko dārātmajairanvitaḥ syāt sārasvatayogajo nṛpavaraiḥ sampūjito bhāgyavān

Wise, well versed in drama, prose, verse, computation and the science of poetic ornament; gone to the far shore of poetry, of the composing of works, and of the meaning of the śāstras; his fame overrunning the three worlds, exceedingly rich, endowed with wife and children — such is one born of the Sārasvata yoga, honoured by the foremost of kings, and fortunate.

लग्नाधीश्वरभास्करामृतकराः केन्द्रत्रिकोणाश्रिताः स्वोच्चस्वर्क्षसुहृद्गृहानुपगताः श्रीकण्ठयोगो भवेत् । तद्वद्भार्गवभाग्यनाथशशिजाः श्रीनाथयोगस्तथा वागीशात्मपसूर्यजा यदि तदा वैरिञ्चियोगस्ततः

lagnādhīśvarabhāskarāmṛtakarāḥ kendratrikoṇāśritāḥ svoccasvarkṣasuhṛdgṛhānupagatāḥ śrīkaṇṭhayogo bhavet | tadvadbhārgavabhāgyanāthaśaśijāḥ śrīnāthayogastathā vāgīśātmapasūryajā yadi tadā vairiñciyogastataḥ

When the lord of the ascendant, the Sun and the Moon occupy kendras or trikoṇas and have gone to their exaltation, their own sign or a friend's house, the Śrīkaṇṭha yoga arises. In the same way ⟨with⟩ Venus, the lord of the ninth and Mercury — the Śrīnātha yoga; and so, if it be Jupiter, the lord of the ascendant and Saturn, then follows the Vairiñci yoga.

रुद्राक्षाभरणो विभूतिधवलच्छायो महात्मा शिवं ध्यायत्यात्मनि सन्ततं सुनियमः शैवव्रते दीक्षितः साधूनामुपकारकः परमतेष्वेवानसूयो भवेत् तेजस्वी शिवपूजया प्रमुदितः श्रीकण्ठयोगोद्भवः

rudrākṣābharaṇo vibhūtidhavalacchāyo mahātmā śivaṃ dhyāyatyātmani santataṃ suniyamaḥ śaivavrate dīkṣitaḥ sādhūnāmupakārakaḥ paramateṣvevānasūyo bhavet tejasvī śivapūjayā pramuditaḥ śrīkaṇṭhayogodbhavaḥ

Adorned with rudrākṣa, pale-hued with sacred ash, great of soul, he meditates on Śiva within himself unceasingly; of strict observance, initiated in the Śaiva vow, a helper of the good, free from spite even towards other doctrines, full of lustre, and gladdened by the worship of Śiva — such is one arisen from the Śrīkaṇṭha yoga.

लक्ष्मीवान् सरसोक्तिचाटुनिपुणो नारायणाङ्काङ्कितः तन्नामाङ्कितहृद्यपद्यमनिशं संकीर्तयन् सज्जनैः । तद्भक्तापचितौ प्रसन्नवदनः सत्पुत्रदारान्वितः सर्वेषां नयनप्रियोऽतिसुभगः श्रीनाथयोगोद्भवः

lakṣmīvān sarasokticāṭunipuṇo nārāyaṇāṅkāṅkitaḥ tannāmāṅkitahṛdyapadyamaniśaṃ saṃkīrtayan sajjanaiḥ | tadbhaktāpacitau prasannavadanaḥ satputradārānvitaḥ sarveṣāṃ nayanapriyo'tisubhagaḥ śrīnāthayogodbhavaḥ

Possessed of prosperity, adept in speech both savoury and winning, marked with the emblems of Nārāyaṇa; unceasingly reciting with good men the pleasing verses stamped with His name; his face bright when honour is done to His devotees; endowed with good sons and a good wife; dear to the eyes of all and exceedingly fortunate — such is one arisen from the Śrīnātha yoga.

ब्रह्मज्ञानपरायणो बहुमतिर्वेदप्रधानो गुणी हृष्टो वैदिकमार्गतो न चलति प्रख्यातशिष्यव्रजः । सौम्योक्तिर्बहुवित्तदारतनयः सद्ब्रह्मतेजोज्वलन्दीर्घायुर्विजितेन्द्रियो नतनृपो वैरिञ्चियोगोद्भवः

brahmajñānaparāyaṇo bahumatirvedapradhāno guṇī hṛṣṭo vaidikamārgato na calati prakhyātaśiṣyavrajaḥ | saumyoktirbahuvittadāratanayaḥ sadbrahmatejojvalandīrghāyurvijitendriyo natanṛpo vairiñciyogodbhavaḥ

Devoted to the knowledge of brahman, of great understanding, foremost in the Veda, endowed with virtues, and cheerful; he does not stray from the Vedic path; ⟨his is⟩ a company of renowned pupils. Gentle of speech, possessed of abundant wealth, wives and sons, blazing with the true lustre of brahman, long-lived, master of his senses, one before whom kings bow — such is he who is born of the Vairiñci yoga.

अन्योन्यं भवनस्थयोर्विहगयोर्लग्नादिरिःफान्तकं भावाधीश्वर्योः क्रमेण कथिताः षट्षष्टियोगा जनैः । त्रिंशद्दैन्यमुदीरितं व्ययरिपुच्छिद्रादिनाथोत्थितास्त्वष्टौ शौर्यपतेः खला निगदिताः शेषा महाख्याः स्मृताः

anyonyaṃ bhavanasthayorvihagayorlagnādiriḥphāntakaṃ bhāvādhīśvaryoḥ krameṇa kathitāḥ ṣaṭṣaṣṭiyogā janaiḥ | triṃśaddainyamudīritaṃ vyayaripucchidrādināthotthitāstvaṣṭau śauryapateḥ khalā nigaditāḥ śeṣā mahākhyāḥ smṛtāḥ

Of two grahas each standing in the other's house — that is, of the lords of the houses (bhāvas) from the ascendant (lagna) to the twelfth, taken in order — sixty-six yogas are declared by men. Thirty of them, arising from the lords of the twelfth, the sixth, the eighth and the like, are called Dainya; but eight, ⟨arising⟩ from the lord of the third ⟨the house of valour⟩, are pronounced Khala; the rest are known by the name Mahā.

मूर्खः स्यादपवादको दुरितकृन्नित्यं सपत्नार्दितः क्रूरोक्तिः किलदैन्यजश्चलमतिर्विच्छिन्नकार्योद्यमः । उद्वृत्तश्च खले कदाचिदखिलं भाग्यं लभेताखिलं सौम्योक्तिश्च कदाचिदेवमशुभं दारिद्र्यदुःखादिकम्

mūrkhaḥ syādapavādako duritakṛnnityaṃ sapatnārditaḥ krūroktiḥ kiladainyajaścalamatirvicchinnakāryodyamaḥ | udvṛttaśca khale kadācidakhilaṃ bhāgyaṃ labhetākhilaṃ saumyoktiśca kadācidevamaśubhaṃ dāridryaduḥkhādikam

⟨In the Dainya⟩ he is a fool, a slanderer, a doer of wrongs, forever harried by rivals, harsh of speech, unsteady in mind, his undertakings broken off — such indeed is one born of Dainya. And in the Khala he is unruly: at one time he obtains fortune entire and is wholly gentle of speech, at another, just so, ill fortune — poverty, sorrow and the rest.

श्रीकटाक्षनिलयः प्रभुराढ्यश्चित्रवस्त्रकनकाभरणश्च । पार्थिवाप्तबहुमानसमाज्ञो यानवित्तसुतवांश्च महाख्ये

śrīkaṭākṣanilayaḥ prabhurāḍhyaścitravastrakanakābharaṇaśca | pārthivāptabahumānasamājño yānavittasutavāṃśca mahākhye

In that named Mahā he is a seat of Fortune's sidelong glance, a master, wealthy, ⟨adorned⟩ with many-coloured garments and ornaments of gold; ⟨he wins⟩ high honour and renown obtained from the king, and is possessed of conveyances, wealth and sons.

लग्नाधिपाप्तभपतिस्थितराशिनाथः स्वोच्चस्वभेषु यदि कोणचतुष्टयस्थः योगः स काहल इति प्रथितोऽथ तद्वत् लग्नाधिपाप्तभपतिर्यदि पर्वताख्यः

lagnādhipāptabhapatisthitarāśināthaḥ svoccasvabheṣu yadi koṇacatuṣṭayasthaḥ yogaḥ sa kāhala iti prathito'tha tadvat lagnādhipāptabhapatiryadi parvatākhyaḥ

If the lord of the sign occupied by the lord of the sign that the lord of the lagna has obtained stands in his own exaltation or his own sign, and in a trikoṇa or a kendra, that yoga is famed as Kāhala. And likewise, if it is the lord of the sign obtained by the lord of the lagna ⟨that stands so⟩, it is named Parvata.

वर्द्धिष्णुरार्यः सुमतिः प्रसन्नः क्षेमङ्करः काहलजो नृमान्यः । स्थिरार्थसौख्यः स्थिरकार्यकर्त्ता क्षितीश्वरः पर्वतयोगजातः

varddhiṣṇurāryaḥ sumatiḥ prasannaḥ kṣemaṅkaraḥ kāhalajo nṛmānyaḥ | sthirārthasaukhyaḥ sthirakāryakarttā kṣitīśvaraḥ parvatayogajātaḥ

Ever-thriving, noble, of good understanding, serene, a bringer of security, honoured among men — such is one born of the Kahala. Of lasting wealth and ease, a doer of enduring works, a lord of the earth — such is one born of the Parvata yoga.

धर्मकर्मभवनाधिपती द्वौ संयुतौ महितभावगतौ चेत् । राजयोग इति तद्वदिह स्यात् केन्द्रकोणयुतिर्यदि शङ्खः

dharmakarmabhavanādhipatī dvau saṃyutau mahitabhāvagatau cet | rājayoga iti tadvadiha syāt kendrakoṇayutiryadi śaṅkhaḥ

When the two lords of the houses of dharma ⟨the ninth⟩ and of karma ⟨the tenth⟩ are conjoined and placed in an honoured bhāva, that is called Rājayoga; and likewise here, should there be the conjunction of ⟨the lords of⟩ a kendra and a trikoṇa, it is Śaṅkha.

भेरीशङ्खप्रणादैर्धृतमृदुपटिकाजातवृत्तातपत्रो हस्त्यश्वान्दोलिकाद्यैः सह मगधकृतप्रस्तुतिर्भूमिपालः । नानारूपोपहारस्फुरितकरयुतैः प्रार्थितः सज्जनैः स्याद्राजा स्याच्छङ्खयोगे बहुवरवनिताभोगसम्पत्तिपूर्णः

bherīśaṅkhapraṇādairdhṛtamṛdupaṭikājātavṛttātapatro hastyaśvāndolikādyaiḥ saha magadhakṛtaprastutirbhūmipālaḥ | nānārūpopahārasphuritakarayutaiḥ prārthitaḥ sajjanaiḥ syādrājā syācchaṅkhayoge bahuvaravanitābhogasampattipūrṇaḥ

To the sounding of kettle-drums and conches, a round parasol of soft cloth held over him, attended by elephants, horses, palanquins and the rest, hymned by ⟨the court⟩ bards — a protector of the earth; entreated by good men whose hands glitter with gifts of every kind — such a king he would be in the Śaṅkha yoga, filled with many excellent women, with enjoyments and with wealth.

संख्यायोगाः सप्तसप्तर्क्षसंस्थैरेकापायाद्वल्लकीदामपाशम् । केदाराख्यः शूलयोगो युगं च गोलश्चान्यान् पूर्वमुक्तान्विहाय

saṃkhyāyogāḥ saptasaptarkṣasaṃsthairekāpāyādvallakīdāmapāśam | kedārākhyaḥ śūlayogo yugaṃ ca golaścānyān pūrvamuktānvihāya

The Saṃkhyā yogas are seven, ⟨reckoned⟩ from the seven ⟨grahas⟩ standing in seven signs and by the loss of one ⟨sign at each step⟩: Vallakī, Dāma, Pāśa, that named Kedāra, the Śūla yoga, Yuga, and Gola — leaving aside the others already spoken of.

वीणायोगे नृत्तगीतप्रियोऽर्थी दाम्नि त्यागीभूपतिश्चोपकारी । पाशे भोगी सार्थसच्छीलबन्धुः केदाराख्ये श्रीकृषिक्षेत्रयुक्तः

vīṇāyoge nṛttagītapriyo'rthī dāmni tyāgībhūpatiścopakārī | pāśe bhogī sārthasacchīlabandhuḥ kedārākhye śrīkṛṣikṣetrayuktaḥ

In the Vīṇā yoga he is fond of dance and song, and a seeker of wealth; in the Dāma, liberal, a lord of the earth, and a doer of good turns; in the Pāśa, given to enjoyment, well-provided, of good conduct and rich in kinsmen; in that named Kedāra, given to prosperity, husbandry and fields.

शूले हिंस्रः क्रोधशीलो दरिद्रः पाषण्डी स्याद् द्रव्यहीनो युगाख्ये । निःस्वः पापी म्लेच्छयुक्तः कुशिल्पी गोले जातश्चालसोऽल्पायुरेव

śūle hiṃsraḥ krodhaśīlo daridraḥ pāṣaṇḍī syād dravyahīno yugākhye | niḥsvaḥ pāpī mlecchayuktaḥ kuśilpī gole jātaścālaso'lpāyureva

In the Śūla he is violent, of angry temper, and poor. In that named Yuga he would be a heretic and stripped of goods. One born in the Gola is penniless, sinful, keeps company with mlecchas, is a bad craftsman, idle, and short-lived besides.

सौम्यैरिन्दोर्द्यूनषड्रन्ध्रसंस्थैस्तद्वल्लग्नात्संस्थितैर्वाधियोगः । नेता मन्त्री भूपतिः स्यात्क्रमेण ख्यातः श्रीमान्दीर्घजीवी मनस्वी

saumyairindordyūnaṣaḍrandhrasaṃsthaistadvallagnātsaṃsthitairvādhiyogaḥ | netā mantrī bhūpatiḥ syātkrameṇa khyātaḥ śrīmāndīrghajīvī manasvī

When benefics stand in the seventh, the sixth and the eighth from the Moon — or likewise ⟨reckoned⟩ from the lagna — it is the Adhi yoga. He becomes, in order, a leader, a minister, a king; renowned, prosperous, long-lived and high-minded.

अधियोगभवो नरेश्वरः स्थिरसम्पद्बहुबन्धुपोषकः । अमुना रिपवः पराजिताश्चिरमायुर्लभते प्रसिद्धताम्

adhiyogabhavo nareśvaraḥ sthirasampadbahubandhupoṣakaḥ | amunā ripavaḥ parājitāściramāyurlabhate prasiddhatām

One born of the Adhi yoga is a lord of men, of steady wealth, the supporter of many kinsmen. By it his enemies are defeated; his life is long, and he attains renown.

भावैः सौम्ययुतेक्षितैस्तदधिपैः सुस्थानगैर्भास्वरैः स्वोच्चस्वर्क्षगतैर्विलग्नभवनाद्योगाः क्रमाद्द्वादश । संज्ञाश्चामरधेनुशौर्यजलधिच्छत्रास्त्रकामासुराभाग्यख्यातिसुपारिजातमुसलास्तज्ज्ञैर्यथा कीर्तिताः

bhāvaiḥ saumyayutekṣitaistadadhipaiḥ susthānagairbhāsvaraiḥ svoccasvarkṣagatairvilagnabhavanādyogāḥ kramāddvādaśa | saṃjñāścāmaradhenuśauryajaladhicchatrāstrakāmāsurābhāgyakhyātisupārijātamusalāstajjñairyathā kīrtitāḥ

When the bhāvas are joined with or aspected by benefics, and their lords are set in good places, bright, and gone to their own exaltation or their own sign, twelve yogas arise in order from the house of the lagna. Their names, as they have been declared by those who know them: Cāmara, Dhenu, Śaurya, Jaladhi, Chatra, Astra, Kāma, Asura, Bhāgya, Khyāti, Supārijāta and Musala.

प्रत्यहं व्रजति वृद्धिमुदग्रां शुक्लचन्द्र इव शोभनशीलः । कीर्तिमान् जनपतिश्चिरजीवी श्रीनिधिर्भवति चामरजातः

pratyahaṃ vrajati vṛddhimudagrāṃ śuklacandra iva śobhanaśīlaḥ | kīrtimān janapatiścirajīvī śrīnidhirbhavati cāmarajātaḥ

Day by day he goes to lofty increase, like the moon of the bright fortnight; of goodly character, renowned, a ruler of the people, long-lived, a treasury of fortune — such is one born of the Cāmara.

सान्नपानविभवोऽखिलविद्या पुष्कलोधिककुटुम्बविभूतिः । हेमरत्नधनधान्यसमृद्धो राजराज इव राजति धेनौ

sānnapānavibhavo'khilavidyā puṣkalodhikakuṭumbavibhūtiḥ | hemaratnadhanadhānyasamṛddho rājarāja iva rājati dhenau

Abounding in food and drink, full in every branch of learning, of abundant household prosperity, enriched with gold, jewels, wealth and grain — in the Dhenu he shines like a king of kings.

कीर्तिमद्भिरनुजैरभिष्टुतो लालितो महितविक्रमयुक्तः शौर्यजो भवति राम इवासौ राजकार्यनिरतोऽतियशस्वी

kīrtimadbhiranujairabhiṣṭuto lālito mahitavikramayuktaḥ śauryajo bhavati rāma ivāsau rājakāryanirato'tiyaśasvī

Extolled and cherished by renowned younger brothers, endowed with honoured valour, he who is born of the Śaurya is like Rāma — given to the king's business, and exceedingly glorious.

गोसम्पद्धनधान्य्शोभिसदनं बन्धुप्रपूर्णं वरस्त्रीरत्नाम्बरभूषणानि महितस्थानं च सर्वोत्तमम् । प्राप्नोत्यम्बुधियोगजः स्थिरसुखो हस्त्यश्वयानादिगो राजेड्यो द्विजदेवकार्यनिरतः कूपप्रपाकृत्पथि

gosampaddhanadhānyśobhisadanaṃ bandhuprapūrṇaṃ varastrīratnāmbarabhūṣaṇāni mahitasthānaṃ ca sarvottamam | prāpnotyambudhiyogajaḥ sthirasukho hastyaśvayānādigo rājeḍyo dvijadevakāryanirataḥ kūpaprapākṛtpathi

One born of the Ambudhi yoga obtains a dwelling resplendent with wealth of cattle, riches and grain and filled with kinsmen; excellent women, jewels, garments and ornaments; and an honoured station, best of all. His happiness is lasting; he goes about with elephants, horses, conveyances and the rest; he is honoured by kings, given to the service of the twice-born and of the gods, and a maker of wells and roadside water-sheds.

सुसंसारसौभाग्यसन्तानलक्ष्मी निवासो यशस्वी सुभाषी मनीषी । अमात्यो महीशस्य पूज्यो धनाढ्यः स्फुरत्तीक्ष्णबुद्धिर्भवेच्छत्रयोगे

susaṃsārasaubhāgyasantānalakṣmī nivāso yaśasvī subhāṣī manīṣī | amātyo mahīśasya pūjyo dhanāḍhyaḥ sphurattīkṣṇabuddhirbhavecchatrayoge

In the Chatra yoga he is a dwelling-place of a good household, of good fortune, of progeny and of prosperity; glorious, of fair speech, wise; a minister of the king, worthy of honour, rich, and of flashing keen intelligence.

शत्रून् बलिष्ठान् बलवन्निगृह्य क्रूरप्रवृत्त्या सहितोऽभिमानी । व्रणाङ्किताङ्गश्च विवादकारी स्यादस्त्रयोगे दृढगात्रयुक्तः

śatrūn baliṣṭhān balavannigṛhya krūrapravṛttyā sahito'bhimānī | vraṇāṅkitāṅgaśca vivādakārī syādastrayoge dṛḍhagātrayuktaḥ

Powerfully subduing even the strongest enemies, attended by cruel conduct, proud, his limbs marked with wounds, a maker of quarrels, of firm body — such would he be in the Astra yoga.

परदारपराङ्मुखो भवेद्वरदारात्मजबन्धुसंश्रितः । जनकादधिकः शुभैर्गुणैर्महनीयां श्रियमेति कामजः

paradāraparāṅmukho bhavedvaradārātmajabandhusaṃśritaḥ | janakādadhikaḥ śubhairguṇairmahanīyāṃ śriyameti kāmajaḥ

One born of the Kāma ⟨yoga⟩ turns his face from another man's wife; he is attended by an excellent wife, by sons and by kinsmen; in his good qualities he surpasses his father, and he attains an honourable prosperity.

हन्त्यन्यकार्यं पिशुनः स्वकार्यपरो दरिद्रश्च दुराग्रही स्यात् । स्वयम्कृतानर्थपरंपरार्तः कुकर्मकृच्चासुरयोगजातः

hantyanyakāryaṃ piśunaḥ svakāryaparo daridraśca durāgrahī syāt | svayamkṛtānarthaparaṃparārtaḥ kukarmakṛccāsurayogajātaḥ

He destroys another's work; a slanderer, bent on his own affairs only, poor, and obstinate in the wrong; tormented by a succession of calamities of his own making, a doer of foul deeds — such is one born of the Asura yoga.

चञ्चच्चामरवाद्यघोषनिबिडामान्दोलिकां शाश्वतीं लक्ष्मीं प्राप्य महाजनैः कृतनतिः स्याद्धर्ममार्गे स्थितः । प्रीणात्येष पितॄन् सुरान्द्विजगणांस्तत्तत्प्रियैः पूजनैः स्वाचारः स्वकुलोद्वहः सुहृदयः स्याद्भाग्ययोगोद्भवः

cañcaccāmaravādyaghoṣanibiḍāmāndolikāṃ śāśvatīṃ lakṣmīṃ prāpya mahājanaiḥ kṛtanatiḥ syāddharmamārge sthitaḥ | prīṇātyeṣa pitṝn surāndvijagaṇāṃstattatpriyaiḥ pūjanaiḥ svācāraḥ svakulodvahaḥ suhṛdayaḥ syādbhāgyayogodbhavaḥ

Having obtained a palanquin thronged with waving chowries and the din of instruments, and lasting prosperity, he is bowed to by great men and stands in the path of dharma. He gratifies the ancestors, the gods and the companies of the twice-born with the worship dear to each; of good conduct, the upholder of his line, kind of heart — such is he who springs from the Bhāgya yoga.

सत्क्रियां सकललोकसंमतामाचरन्नवति सज्जनान्नृपः । पुत्रमित्रधनदारभाग्यवान् ख्यातिजो भवति लोकविश्रुतः

satkriyāṃ sakalalokasaṃmatāmācarannavati sajjanānnṛpaḥ | putramitradhanadārabhāgyavān khyātijo bhavati lokaviśrutaḥ

Performing good works approved by the whole world, he protects the good; a king, blessed with sons, friends, wealth, wife and fortune — one born of the Khyāti is renowned throughout the world.

नित्यमङ्गलयुतः पृथिवीशः संचितार्थनिचयः सुकुटुम्बी । सत्कथाश्रवणभक्तिरभिज्ञो पारिजातजननः शिवतातिः

nityamaṅgalayutaḥ pṛthivīśaḥ saṃcitārthanicayaḥ sukuṭumbī | satkathāśravaṇabhaktirabhijño pārijātajananaḥ śivatātiḥ

Attended by unfailing auspiciousness, a lord of the earth, with a heaped-up store of wealth, of a good household, devoted and practised in the hearing of holy discourse — one born of the Pārijāta is a giver of well-being.

कृच्छ्रलब्धधनवान् परिभूतो लोलसम्पदुचितव्ययशीलः । स्वर्गमेव लभतेऽन्त्यदशायां जाल्मको मुसलजश्चपलश्च

kṛcchralabdhadhanavān paribhūto lolasampaducitavyayaśīlaḥ | svargameva labhate'ntyadaśāyāṃ jālmako musalajaścapalaśca

His wealth is got with hardship, he is slighted, his fortune will not hold still and his spending runs to match it; ⟨yet⟩ in the last stage ⟨of life⟩ he obtains heaven itself. One born of the Musala is a wretch, and fickle.

दुःस्थैर्भावगृहेश्वरैरशुभसंयुक्तेक्षितैर्वा क्रमाद्भावैः स्युस्त्ववयोगनिःस्वमृतयः प्रोक्ताः कुहूः पामरः । हर्षो दुष्कृतिरित्यथापि सरलो निर्भाग्यदुर्योगकौ योगा द्वादश ते दरिद्र विमले प्रोक्ताविपश्चिज्जनैः

duḥsthairbhāvagṛheśvarairaśubhasaṃyuktekṣitairvā kramādbhāvaiḥ syustvavayoganiḥsvamṛtayaḥ proktāḥ kuhūḥ pāmaraḥ | harṣo duṣkṛtirityathāpi saralo nirbhāgyaduryogakau yogā dvādaśa te daridra vimale proktāvipaścijjanaiḥ

When the lords of the bhāva-houses are ill-placed, or joined with and aspected by malefics, there arise with the bhāvas in order the yogas declared to be Avayoga, Niḥsva, Mṛti, Kuhū, Pāmara, Harṣa, Duṣkṛti, and then also Sarala, Nirbhāgya and Duryoga, Daridra and Vimala — these twelve are declared by the learned.

अप्रसिद्धिरतिदुःसहदैन्यं स्वल्पमायुरवमानमसद्भिः । संयुतः कुचरितः कुतनुः स्याच्चञ्चलस्थितिरिहाप्यवयोगे

aprasiddhiratiduḥsahadainyaṃ svalpamāyuravamānamasadbhiḥ | saṃyutaḥ kucaritaḥ kutanuḥ syāccañcalasthitirihāpyavayoge

Obscurity; wretchedness past bearing; a very short life; disgrace. Joined with the base, of evil conduct, of ill body, and of unsteady standing — such is he here too, in the Avayoga.

सुवचनशून्यो विफलकुटुम्बः कुजनसमाजः कुदशनचक्षुः । मतिसुतविद्या विभवविहीनो रिपुहृतवित्तः प्रभवति निःस्वे

suvacanaśūnyo viphalakuṭumbaḥ kujanasamājaḥ kudaśanacakṣuḥ | matisutavidyā vibhavavihīno ripuhṛtavittaḥ prabhavati niḥsve

Void of good speech, his household of no avail, in the company of base men, ill in teeth and eyes, destitute of understanding, of sons, of learning and of substance, his wealth carried off by enemies — such a one comes forth in the Niḥsva.

अरिपरिभूतः सहजविहीनो मनसिविलज्जो हतबलवित्तः । अनुचितकर्मश्रमपरिखिन्नो विकृतिगुणः स्यादिति मृतियोगे

ariparibhūtaḥ sahajavihīno manasivilajjo hatabalavittaḥ | anucitakarmaśramaparikhinno vikṛtiguṇaḥ syāditi mṛtiyoge

Humbled by enemies, bereft of brothers, shameless in his mind, his strength and wealth struck down, worn out by the toil of unfitting work, perverse in his qualities — such would he be, they say, in the Mṛti yoga.

मातृवाहनसुहृत्सुखभूषाबन्धुभिर्विरहितः स्थितिशून्यः । स्थानमाश्रितमनेन हतं स्यात् कुस्त्रियामभिरतः कुहुयोगे

mātṛvāhanasuhṛtsukhabhūṣābandhubhirvirahitaḥ sthitiśūnyaḥ | sthānamāśritamanena hataṃ syāt kustriyāmabhirataḥ kuhuyoge

Bereft of mother, conveyance, friends, comfort, ornaments and kinsmen, and without settled standing; the place resorted to comes to ruin through this; and he is attached to a base woman — in the Kuhū yoga.

दुःखजीव्यनृतवागविवेकी वञ्चको मृतसुतोऽप्यनपत्यः । नास्तिकोऽल्पकुजनं भजतेऽसौ घस्मरो भवति पामरयोगे

duḥkhajīvyanṛtavāgavivekī vañcako mṛtasuto'pyanapatyaḥ | nāstiko'lpakujanaṃ bhajate'sau ghasmaro bhavati pāmarayoge

He earns his living in misery, speaks untruth, is without discrimination, a cheat; his sons die — indeed he is childless; an unbeliever, he consorts with petty, base people, and he is a glutton — ⟨such⟩ he becomes in the Pāmara yoga.

सुखभोगभाग्यदृढगात्रसंयुतो निहताहितो भवति पापभीरुकः प्रथितप्रधानजनवल्लभो धनद्युतिमित्रकीर्तिसुतवांश्च हर्षजः

sukhabhogabhāgyadṛḍhagātrasaṃyuto nihatāhito bhavati pāpabhīrukaḥ prathitapradhānajanavallabho dhanadyutimitrakīrtisutavāṃśca harṣajaḥ

Endowed with comfort, enjoyments, good fortune and a firm body; his enemies are struck down; he is afraid of sin, beloved of renowned and eminent people, and possessed of wealth, lustre, friends, fame and sons — ⟨such is⟩ one born of the Harṣa ⟨yoga⟩.

स्वपत्नीवियोगं परस्त्रीरतीच्छा दुरालोकमध्वानसंचारवृत्तिः । प्रमेहादिगुह्यार्तिमुर्वीशपीडां वदेद्दुष्कृतौ बन्धुधिक्कारशोकम्

svapatnīviyogaṃ parastrīratīcchā durālokamadhvānasaṃcāravṛttiḥ | pramehādiguhyārtimurvīśapīḍāṃ vadedduṣkṛtau bandhudhikkāraśokam

Separation from his own wife; craving for intercourse with other men's wives; an ill-favoured look; a livelihood of roaming the roads; affliction of the private parts, prameha ⟨urinary disease⟩ and the rest; harassment from the king; the contempt of his kinsmen, and grief — ⟨all this⟩ one should declare in the Duṣkṛta ⟨yoga⟩.

दीर्घायुष्मान् दृढमतिरभयः श्रीमान्विद्यासुतधनसहितः । सिद्धारम्भो जितरिपुरमलो विख्याताख्यः प्रभवति सरले

dīrghāyuṣmān dṛḍhamatirabhayaḥ śrīmānvidyāsutadhanasahitaḥ | siddhārambho jitaripuramalo vikhyātākhyaḥ prabhavati sarale

Long-lived, firm of mind, free from fear, prosperous, endowed with learning, sons and wealth; his undertakings succeed; he conquers his enemies, is spotless, and his name is renowned — ⟨so⟩ he flourishes in the Sarala ⟨yoga⟩.

पित्रार्जितक्षेत्रगृहादिनाशकृत् साधून् गुरून्निन्दति धर्मवर्जितः । प्रत्नातिजीर्णाम्बरधृच्च दुर्गतो निर्भाग्ययोगे बहुदुःखभाजनम्

pitrārjitakṣetragṛhādināśakṛt sādhūn gurūnnindati dharmavarjitaḥ | pratnātijīrṇāmbaradhṛcca durgato nirbhāgyayoge bahuduḥkhabhājanam

He destroys the fields, houses and the rest earned by his father; he reviles the virtuous and his elders; devoid of dharma, wearing old and exceedingly worn-out garments, fallen on wretchedness, he is a vessel of much sorrow — in the Nirbhāgya yoga.

शरीरप्रयासैः कृतं कर्म यत्तत् व्रजेन्निष्फलत्वं लघुत्वं जनेषु । जनद्रोहकारी स्वकुक्षिंभरिः स्यादजस्रं प्रवासी च दुर्योगजातः

śarīraprayāsaiḥ kṛtaṃ karma yattat vrajenniṣphalatvaṃ laghutvaṃ janeṣu | janadrohakārī svakukṣiṃbhariḥ syādajasraṃ pravāsī ca duryogajātaḥ

Whatever work he does by bodily effort goes to fruitlessness; he is held light among people; he does injury to people, fills only his own belly, and lives ceaselessly abroad — ⟨such is⟩ one born of the Duryoga.

ऋणग्रस्त उग्रो दरिद्राग्रगण्यो भवेत्कर्णरोगी च सौभ्रात्रहीनः । अकार्यप्रवृत्तो रसाभासवादी परप्रेष्यकः स्याद्दरिद्राख्ययोगे

ṛṇagrasta ugro daridrāgragaṇyo bhavetkarṇarogī ca saubhrātrahīnaḥ | akāryapravṛtto rasābhāsavādī parapreṣyakaḥ syāddaridrākhyayoge

Beset by debt, harsh, foremost among the destitute; he suffers disease of the ear and is without the good of brotherhood; given to improper deeds, his speech a mere semblance of feeling, he would be the servant of others — in the yoga named Daridra.

किञ्चिद्व्ययो भूरिधनाभिवृद्धिं प्रयात्ययं सर्वजनानुकूल्यम् । सुखी स्वतन्त्रो महनीयवृत्तिर्गुणैः प्रतीतो विमलोद्भवः स्यात्

kiñcidvyayo bhūridhanābhivṛddhiṃ prayātyayaṃ sarvajanānukūlyam | sukhī svatantro mahanīyavṛttirguṇaiḥ pratīto vimalodbhavaḥ syāt

His outgoings are small; he attains an abundant increase of wealth and the goodwill of all people; happy, independent, of honourable livelihood, well-known for his virtues — such would one born of Vimala be.

छिद्रारिव्ययनायकाः प्रबलगाः केन्द्रत्रिकोणाश्रिताः लग्नव्योमचतुर्थभाग्यपतयः षड्रन्ध्ररिःफस्थिताः निर्वीर्या विगतप्रभा यदि तदा दुर्योग एव स्मृतस्तद्व्यस्ते सति योगवान्धनपतिर्भूपः सुखी धार्मिकः

chidrārivyayanāyakāḥ prabalagāḥ kendratrikoṇāśritāḥ lagnavyomacaturthabhāgyapatayaḥ ṣaḍrandhrariḥphasthitāḥ nirvīryā vigataprabhā yadi tadā duryoga eva smṛtastadvyaste sati yogavāndhanapatirbhūpaḥ sukhī dhārmikaḥ

When the lords of the 8th ⟨chidra⟩, the 6th ⟨ari⟩ and the 12th ⟨vyaya⟩ are powerfully placed, resorting to kendras and trikoṇas, and the lords of the lagna, the 10th ⟨vyoman⟩, the 4th and the 9th ⟨bhāgya⟩ stand in the 6th, the 8th ⟨randhra⟩ and the 12th ⟨riḥpha⟩, without strength and stripped of lustre — then it is reckoned Duryoga, an evil combination indeed. When the reverse of that obtains, ⟨the native⟩ is possessed of the yoga: a lord of wealth, a king, happy, righteous.

त्र्याद्यैः खेटैः स्वोच्चगैः केन्द्रसंस्थैः स्वर्क्षस्थैर्वा भूपतिः स्यात्प्रसिद्धः । पञ्चाद्यैस्तैरन्यवंशप्रसूतोऽप्युर्वीनाथो वारणाश्वौघयुक्तः

tryādyaiḥ kheṭaiḥ svoccagaiḥ kendrasaṃsthaiḥ svarkṣasthairvā bhūpatiḥ syātprasiddhaḥ | pañcādyaistairanyavaṃśaprasūto'pyurvīnātho vāraṇāśvaughayuktaḥ

Should three or more grahas ⟨stand⟩ in their exaltations, set in kendras, or in their own signs, ⟨the native⟩ becomes a celebrated king. With five or more such, even one born of another lineage becomes a lord of the earth, furnished with a host of elephants and horses.

भूपाः स्युर्नृपवंशजास्तु यदि दुर्योगे न जातास्तथा ह्यन्तर्धिर्नहि चेत्कराद्दिनकराज्जाताः स्फुरन्त्येव ते । त्र्याद्यैः केन्द्रगतैः स्वभोच्चसहितैर्भूपोद्भवाः पार्थिवाः मर्त्यास्त्वन्यकुलोद्भवाः क्षितिपतेस्तुल्याः कदाचिन्नृपाः

bhūpāḥ syurnṛpavaṃśajāstu yadi duryoge na jātāstathā hyantardhirnahi cetkarāddinakarājjātāḥ sphurantyeva te | tryādyaiḥ kendragataiḥ svabhoccasahitairbhūpodbhavāḥ pārthivāḥ martyāstvanyakulodbhavāḥ kṣitipatestulyāḥ kadācinnṛpāḥ

Those born in a royal line become kings, provided they are not born under an evil yoga, and provided there is no concealment ⟨of the grahas⟩ by the rays of the Sun — then indeed they shine forth. With three or more ⟨grahas⟩ standing in kendras and joined to their own signs or exaltations, those of royal birth become rulers; but mortals born of another family become the equals of a king, and now and then kings ⟨themselves⟩.

यद्येकोऽपि विराजितांशुनिकरः सुस्थानगो वक्रगो नीचस्थोऽपि करोति भूपसदृशं द्वौ वा त्रयो वा ग्रहाः । एवं चेज्जनयन्ति भूपतिममी शस्तांशराशिस्थिता स्तद्वच्चेद्बहवो नृपं समकुटच्छत्रोल्लसच्चामरम्

yadyeko'pi virājitāṃśunikaraḥ susthānago vakrago nīcastho'pi karoti bhūpasadṛśaṃ dvau vā trayo vā grahāḥ | evaṃ cejjanayanti bhūpatimamī śastāṃśarāśisthitā stadvaccedbahavo nṛpaṃ samakuṭacchatrollasaccāmaram

If even a single ⟨graha⟩ whose mass of rays is shining stands in a good place and is retrograde, it makes ⟨the native⟩ the equal of a king even though it be debilitated; and if two or three grahas ⟨stand⟩ thus, they produce a king. Should these ⟨grahas⟩, placed in commendable navāṃśas and rāśis, be many in the same way, ⟨they produce⟩ a king ⟨resplendent⟩ with crown and parasol and gleaming chowries.

द्वौ वा त्र्याद्या दिग्बलयुक्ता यदिजातः क्ष्माभृद्वंशे भूमिपतिः स्याज्जयशीलः । हित्वा मन्दं पञ्चखगा दिग्बलयुक्ताश्चत्वारो वा भूपतिरन्यान्वयजोऽपि

dvau vā tryādyā digbalayuktā yadijātaḥ kṣmābhṛdvaṃśe bhūmipatiḥ syājjayaśīlaḥ | hitvā mandaṃ pañcakhagā digbalayuktāścatvāro vā bhūpatiranyānvayajo'pi

If two, or three or more ⟨grahas⟩, are endowed with directional strength (digbala), one born in a royal line becomes a victorious lord of the earth. If five grahas — Saturn (manda) excepted — or four, are endowed with directional strength, even one born of another lineage ⟨becomes⟩ a king.

गणोत्तमे लग्ननवांशकोद्गमे निशाकरश्चापि गणोत्तमेऽपि वा । चतुर्ग्रहैश्चन्द्रविवर्जितैस्तदा निरीक्षितः स्यादधमोद्भवो नृपः

gaṇottame lagnanavāṃśakodgame niśākaraścāpi gaṇottame'pi vā | caturgrahaiścandravivarjitaistadā nirīkṣitaḥ syādadhamodbhavo nṛpaḥ

When the navāṃśa rising at the lagna is vargottama, and the Moon too is in vargottama, and ⟨these⟩ are then aspected by four grahas other than the Moon, one of low birth becomes a king.

विलग्नेशः केन्द्रे यदि तपसि वर्गोत्तमगतः स्वतुङ्गे स्वर्क्षे वा गुरुपतिरपि स्याद्यदि तथा । गजस्कन्धे कार्तस्वरकृतविमानेऽतिसुषमे । सुखासीनं भूपं जनयति लसच्चामरयुगम्

vilagneśaḥ kendre yadi tapasi vargottamagataḥ svatuṅge svarkṣe vā gurupatirapi syādyadi tathā | gajaskandhe kārtasvarakṛtavimāne'tisuṣame | sukhāsīnaṃ bhūpaṃ janayati lasaccāmarayugam

If the lord of the lagna is in a kendra or in the ninth (tapas), gone to vargottama, in its own exaltation or its own sign, and if Jupiter (guru) likewise ⟨be so placed⟩, it produces a king seated at ease on an elephant's shoulder, in a gold-wrought howdah of exceeding beauty, ⟨fanned by⟩ a pair of gleaming chowries.

निषादमपि पार्थिवं जनयतीन्दुरुच्चस्वभस्थितग्रहनिरीक्षितो धवलकान्तिजालोज्ज्वलः । विहाय तनुभं कलास्फुरितपूर्णकान्तिः शशी चतुष्टयगतो नृपं जनयति द्विपाश्वान्वितम्

niṣādamapi pārthivaṃ janayatīnduruccasvabhasthitagrahanirīkṣito dhavalakāntijālojjvalaḥ | vihāya tanubhaṃ kalāsphuritapūrṇakāntiḥ śaśī catuṣṭayagato nṛpaṃ janayati dvipāśvānvitam

The Moon, aspected by grahas standing in their exaltation or in their own house, and brilliant with a mass of white radiance, makes even a niṣāda ⟨an outcaste-born man⟩ a king. The Moon, full-orbed with its digits ablaze, placed in a kendra (catuṣṭaya) other than the house of the body ⟨the lagna⟩, produces a king endowed with elephants and horses.

अश्विन्यामुदयगतो भृगुर्ग्रहेन्द्रैर्दृष्टश्चेज्जनयति भूपतिं जितारिम् । नीचार्योर्गृहमपहाय वित्तसंस्थो लग्नेशः सह कविना बली च भूपम्

aśvinyāmudayagato bhṛgurgrahendrairdṛṣṭaścejjanayati bhūpatiṃ jitārim | nīcāryorgṛhamapahāya vittasaṃstho lagneśaḥ saha kavinā balī ca bhūpam

If Venus, risen in Aśvinī at the ascendant, is aspected by the foremost of the grahas, it produces a king who has conquered his enemies. The lord of the lagna, avoiding the signs of its debilitation and of its enemy, standing strong in the second (vitta) together with Venus (kavi), ⟨likewise makes⟩ a king.

भौमश्चेदजहरिचापलग्नसंस्थः पृथ्वीशं कलयति मित्रखेटदृष्टः । कर्मेशो नवमगतश्च भाग्यनाथो मध्यस्थो भवति नृपो जनैः प्रशस्तः

bhaumaścedajaharicāpalagnasaṃsthaḥ pṛthvīśaṃ kalayati mitrakheṭadṛṣṭaḥ | karmeśo navamagataśca bhāgyanātho madhyastho bhavati nṛpo janaiḥ praśastaḥ

If Mars stands in the lagna, ⟨that lagna being⟩ Aries, Leo or Sagittarius, and is aspected by friendly grahas, it makes ⟨the native⟩ a lord of the earth. And when the lord of the tenth (karma) is in the ninth and the lord of the ninth (bhāgya) is in the tenth (madhya), ⟨the native⟩ becomes a king esteemed by the people.

चापार्द्धे भगवान् सहस्रकिरणस्तत्रैव ताराधिपो लग्ने भानुसुतेऽतिवीर्यसहितः स्वोच्चे च भूनन्दनः । यद्येवं भवति क्षितेरधिपतिः संश्रुत्य दूरं भयात् त्रस्ता एव नमन्ति तस्य रिपवो दग्धाः प्रतापाग्निना

cāpārddhe bhagavān sahasrakiraṇastatraiva tārādhipo lagne bhānusute'tivīryasahitaḥ svocce ca bhūnandanaḥ | yadyevaṃ bhavati kṣiteradhipatiḥ saṃśrutya dūraṃ bhayāt trastā eva namanti tasya ripavo dagdhāḥ pratāpāgninā

The blessed thousand-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩ in half of Sagittarius, the lord of the stars ⟨the Moon⟩ in that very place, Saturn (bhānusuta) in the lagna endowed with abundant strength, and Mars (bhūnandana) in its exaltation — if it be thus, ⟨the native⟩ becomes lord of the earth: hearing of him from afar, his enemies, trembling with fear and burnt by the fire of his majesty, do nothing but bow.

सुधामृणालोपमबिम्बशोभितः शशी नवांशे नलिनीप्रियस्य यदि क्षितीशो बहुहस्तिपूर्णः शुभाश्च केन्द्रेषु न पापयुक्ताः

sudhāmṛṇālopamabimbaśobhitaḥ śaśī navāṃśe nalinīpriyasya yadi kṣitīśo bahuhastipūrṇaḥ śubhāśca kendreṣu na pāpayuktāḥ

If the Moon, its orb lovely as nectar and the lotus-fibre ⟨in whiteness⟩, stands in the navāṃśa of the lotus-plant's beloved ⟨the Sun, i.e. Leo⟩, and benefics occupy the kendras unjoined by malefics, ⟨the native is⟩ a lord of the earth abounding in elephants.

नीचारिवर्गरहितैर्विहगैस्त्रिभिस्तु स्वांशोपगैर्बलयुतैः शुभदृष्टिजुष्टैः । गोक्षीरशङ्खधवलोमृगलाञ्छनश्च स्याद्यस्य जन्मनि स भूमिपतिर्जितारिः

nīcārivargarahitairvihagaistribhistu svāṃśopagairbalayutaiḥ śubhadṛṣṭijuṣṭaiḥ | gokṣīraśaṅkhadhavalomṛgalāñchanaśca syādyasya janmani sa bhūmipatirjitāriḥ

At whose birth there stand three grahas free of debilitation and of enemy vargas, gone to their own navāṃśas, endowed with strength and enjoying benefic aspects, and the deer-marked one ⟨the Moon⟩ white as cow's milk and the conch — he is a lord of the earth who has conquered his foes.

कुमुदगहनबन्धुं श्रेष्ठमंशं प्रपन्नं यदि बलसमुपेतः पश्यति व्योमचारी । उदयभवनसंस्थः पापसंज्ञो न चैवं भवति मनुजनाथः सार्वभौमः सुदेहः

kumudagahanabandhuṃ śreṣṭhamaṃśaṃ prapannaṃ yadi balasamupetaḥ paśyati vyomacārī | udayabhavanasaṃsthaḥ pāpasaṃjño na caivaṃ bhavati manujanāthaḥ sārvabhaumaḥ sudehaḥ

If a strong sky-farer ⟨graha⟩ aspects the friend of the white-lily thickets ⟨the Moon⟩ when it has attained an excellent navāṃśa, and no graha called malefic stands in the rising house ⟨the lagna⟩, ⟨the native⟩ becomes a lord of men, a universal sovereign (sārvabhauma), of goodly body.

जीवो बुधो भृगुसुतोऽथ निशाकरो वा धर्मे विशुद्धतनवः स्फुटरश्मिजालाः । मित्रैर्निरीक्षितयुता यदि सूतिकाले कुर्वन्ति देवसदृशं नृपतिं महान्तम्

jīvo budho bhṛgusuto'tha niśākaro vā dharme viśuddhatanavaḥ sphuṭaraśmijālāḥ | mitrairnirīkṣitayutā yadi sūtikāle kurvanti devasadṛśaṃ nṛpatiṃ mahāntam

Jupiter (jīva), Mercury, Venus, or the Moon in the ninth (dharma), their bodies unblemished and their masses of rays clear, if at the hour of birth they are aspected by or joined with friendly ⟨grahas⟩, make a great king, the equal of a god.

शुक्रेज्यौ सवितुः शिशुस्तिमियुगे स्वोच्चे च पूर्णः शशी दृष्टस्तीव्रविलोचनेन दिनकृन्मेषोदयेऽसौ नृपः । सेनायाश्चलनेन रेणुपटलैर्यस्य प्रविष्टे रवावस्तभ्रान्तिसमाकुला कमलिनी संकोचमागच्छति

śukrejyau savituḥ śiśustimiyuge svocce ca pūrṇaḥ śaśī dṛṣṭastīvravilocanena dinakṛnmeṣodaye'sau nṛpaḥ | senāyāścalanena reṇupaṭalairyasya praviṣṭe ravāvastabhrāntisamākulā kamalinī saṃkocamāgacchati

Venus and Jupiter ⟨and⟩ the child of Savitṛ ⟨Saturn⟩ in the pair of fishes ⟨Pisces⟩, the full Moon in its exaltation aspected by the fierce-eyed one, and the Sun with Aries rising — such a one is a king at whose army's march the Sun enters the sheets of dust, and the lotus-bed, bewildered by the illusion of sunset, closes up.

नीचारिस्थैर्भवभवनगैः षष्ठदुश्चिक्यगैर्वा सौम्यैः स्वोच्चं परमुपगतैर्निर्मलैः केन्द्रगैर्वा । आज्ञां याते शिशिरकिरणे कर्कटस्थे निशायामेकच्छत्रं त्रिभुवनमिदं यस्य स क्षत्रियेशः

nīcāristhairbhavabhavanagaiḥ ṣaṣṭhaduścikyagairvā saumyaiḥ svoccaṃ paramupagatairnirmalaiḥ kendragairvā | ājñāṃ yāte śiśirakiraṇe karkaṭasthe niśāyāmekacchatraṃ tribhuvanamidaṃ yasya sa kṣatriyeśaḥ

With ⟨malefics⟩, though standing in debilitation or in an enemy's sign, occupying the eleventh (bhava) house, or the sixth or the third (duścikya); with benefics (saumya), spotless, attaining their highest exaltation or standing in kendras; and with the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩ in Cancer by night — this triple world comes under his command beneath a single parasol: he is a lord of kṣatriyas.

वर्गोत्तमे हिमकरः सकलः स्थितोऽंशे कुर्यान्महीपतिमपूर्वयशोऽभिरामम् । यस्याश्ववृन्दखुरघातरजोऽभिभूतो भानुः प्रभातशशिनोऽनुकरोति रूपम्

The Moon, full in all its digits and standing in a vargottama navāṃśa, would make a lord of the earth lovely with unheard-of fame — one at ⟨whose march⟩ the Sun, overwhelmed by the dust struck up by the hooves of his troops of horses, takes on the look of the morning moon.

केन्द्रगौ यदि च जीवशशाङ्कौ यस्य जन्मनि च भार्गवदृष्टौ । भूपतिर्भवति सोऽतुलकीर्तिर्नीचगो यदि न कश्चिदिह स्यात्

kendragau yadi ca jīvaśaśāṅkau yasya janmani ca bhārgavadṛṣṭau | bhūpatirbhavati so'tulakīrtirnīcago yadi na kaścidiha syāt

He at whose birth Jupiter and the Moon stand in kendras and are aspected by Venus (bhārgava) becomes a king of unequalled fame — provided that no ⟨graha⟩ here is debilitated.

जलचरराशिनवांशक इन्दुस्तनुभवने शुभदस्वकवर्गे । अशुभकरः खलु कण्टकहीनो भवति नृपो बहुवारणनाथः

jalacararāśinavāṃśaka industanubhavane śubhadasvakavarge | aśubhakaraḥ khalu kaṇṭakahīno bhavati nṛpo bahuvāraṇanāthaḥ

The Moon in the house of the body ⟨the lagna⟩, in the navāṃśa of a watery sign and in its own auspicious varga, and the malefics indeed away from the kendras (kaṇṭaka) — ⟨the native⟩ becomes a king, lord of many elephants.

शुक्रो जीवनिरीक्षितो वितनुते भूपोद्भवं भूपतिं देवेड्यो मृगभं विहाय तनुगो मत्तेभयुक्तं नृपम् । केन्द्रे जन्मपतिर्बलाधिकयुतः कुर्याद्धरित्रीपतिं दृष्टे वाक्पतिना बुधे दधति पृथ्वीशाश्च तच्छासनम्

śukro jīvanirīkṣito vitanute bhūpodbhavaṃ bhūpatiṃ deveḍyo mṛgabhaṃ vihāya tanugo mattebhayuktaṃ nṛpam | kendre janmapatirbalādhikayutaḥ kuryāddharitrīpatiṃ dṛṣṭe vākpatinā budhe dadhati pṛthvīśāśca tacchāsanam

Venus aspected by Jupiter makes one born of a royal house a king; Jupiter (deveḍya) in the house of the body ⟨the lagna⟩ — Capricorn excepted — ⟨makes⟩ a king possessed of rutting elephants; the lord of the birth-lagna in a kendra and endowed with abundant strength would make a lord of the earth; and when Mercury is aspected by Jupiter (vākpati), ⟨other⟩ lords of the earth bear his command.

एकोप्युच्चक्षेत्रगो मित्रदृष्टः कुर्याद्भूपं मित्रयोगाद्धनाढ्यम् । स्वांशे सूर्ये स्वर्क्षगश्चन्द्रमाश्चेदेशाधीशं साश्वनागं विधत्ते

ekopyuccakṣetrago mitradṛṣṭaḥ kuryādbhūpaṃ mitrayogāddhanāḍhyam | svāṃśe sūrye svarkṣagaścandramāścedeśādhīśaṃ sāśvanāgaṃ vidhatte

Even one ⟨graha⟩ standing in its exaltation sign and aspected by a friend would make a king; by conjunction with a friend, one rich in wealth. If the Sun is in its own navāṃśa and the Moon in its own sign, ⟨that⟩ makes a ruler of a country, possessed of horses and elephants.

मीने पूर्णज्योतिषि मित्रग्रहदृष्टे चन्द्रे लोकानन्दकरः स्यान्नृपमुख्यः । पूर्णज्योतिः स्वोच्चगतश्चेत्तुहिनांशुस्त्यागाधिक्यं सज्जनशस्तं जगदीशम्

When the Moon, full of light, stands in Pisces aspected by friendly grahas, ⟨the native⟩ becomes a foremost among kings, a giver of delight to the world. If the cool-rayed one, full of light, has gone to its exaltation, ⟨it makes him⟩ a lord of the world, praised by the good and ⟨marked by⟩ abundant liberality.

चन्द्रेऽधिमित्रांशगते सुदृष्टे शुक्रेण लक्ष्मीसहितो नृपः स्यात् । तथा स्थिते वासवमन्त्रिदृष्टे पूर्णां धरित्रीं परिपालयेत्सः

candre'dhimitrāṃśagate sudṛṣṭe śukreṇa lakṣmīsahito nṛpaḥ syāt | tathā sthite vāsavamantridṛṣṭe pūrṇāṃ dharitrīṃ paripālayetsaḥ

When the Moon has gone to the navāṃśa of a great friend (adhimitra) and is well aspected by Venus, ⟨the native⟩ becomes a king attended by fortune. ⟨The Moon⟩ so placed and aspected by the counsellor of Vāsava ⟨Jupiter⟩, he would govern the earth entire.

पापास्त्रिशत्रुभवगा यदि जन्मनाथाल्लग्नाद्धने कुजबुधौ हिबुकेऽर्कशुक्रौ । कर्मायलग्नसहिताः कुजमन्दजीवास्तज्ज्ञा वदन्ति चतुरस्त्विह राजयोगान्

If malefics occupy the third, the sixth (śatru) and the eleventh (bhava) from the lord of birth; ⟨if⟩ Mars and Mercury are in the second (dhana) from the lagna; ⟨if⟩ the Sun and Venus are in the fourth (hibuka); ⟨and if⟩ Mars, Saturn and Jupiter attend the tenth (karma), the eleventh (āya) and the lagna — those who know it declare these to be four rājayogas.

लाभेशधर्मेशधनेश्वराणामेकोऽपि चन्द्रग्रहकेन्द्रवर्ती । स्वपुत्रलाभाधिपतिर्गुरुश्चेदखण्डसाम्राज्यपतित्वमेति

lābheśadharmeśadhaneśvarāṇāmeko'pi candragrahakendravartī | svaputralābhādhipatirguruścedakhaṇḍasāmrājyapatitvameti

If even one of the lords of the eleventh (lābha), the ninth (dharma) and the second (dhana) stands in a kendra from the Moon, and Jupiter is the lord of the second (sva), the fifth (putra) or the eleventh (lābha), ⟨the native⟩ attains the lordship of an undivided empire.

नीचस्थितो जन्मनि योग्रहः स्यात्त्द्राशिनाथोऽपि तदुच्चनाथः । स चन्द्रलग्नाद्यदि केन्द्रवर्ती राजा भवेद्धार्मिकचक्रवर्ती

nīcasthito janmani yograhaḥ syāttdrāśinātho'pi taduccanāthaḥ | sa candralagnādyadi kendravartī rājā bhaveddhārmikacakravartī

Whatever graha stands debilitated at birth — if the lord of that sign, or the lord of its exaltation, is in a kendra from the Moon or from the lagna — ⟨the native⟩ becomes a king, a righteous universal sovereign (cakravartin).

यद्येको नीचगतस्तद्राश्यधिपस्तदुच्चपः केन्द्रे । यस्य स तु चक्रवर्ती समस्तभूपालवन्द्याङ्घ्रिः

yadyeko nīcagatastadrāśyadhipastaduccapaḥ kendre | yasya sa tu cakravartī samastabhūpālavandyāṅghriḥ

If one ⟨graha⟩ has gone to debilitation, and the lord of that sign ⟨or⟩ the lord of its exaltation stands in a kendra — he ⟨at whose birth this is⟩ is a universal sovereign, whose feet all rulers of the earth salute.

यस्मिन्राशौ वर्तते खेचरस्तद्राशीशेन प्रेक्षितश्चेत्स खेटः । क्षोणीपालं कीर्तिमन्तं विदध्यात् सुस्थानश्चेत्किंपुनः पार्थिवेन्द्रः

yasminrāśau vartate khecarastadrāśīśena prekṣitaścetsa kheṭaḥ | kṣoṇīpālaṃ kīrtimantaṃ vidadhyāt susthānaścetkiṃpunaḥ pārthivendraḥ

In whatever sign a sky-farer ⟨graha⟩ stands, if that graha is aspected by the lord of that sign, it would make ⟨the native⟩ a renowned ruler of the earth; and if it stands in a good place, how much more ⟨will he be⟩ a lord among kings.

नीचे तिष्ठति यस्तदाश्रितगृहाधीशो विलग्नाद्यदा चन्द्राद्वा यदि नीचगस्य विहगस्योच्चर्क्षनाथोऽथवा । केन्द्रे तिष्ठति चेत्प्रपूर्णविभवः स्याच्चक्रवर्ती नृपो धर्मिष्ठोऽन्यमहीशवन्दितपदस्तेजोयशोभाग्यवान्

The lord of the sign occupied by the graha that stands debilitated, or else the lord of the exaltation sign of that debilitated graha — if it stands in a kendra from the lagna or from the Moon, ⟨the native⟩ becomes a universal sovereign of complete splendour, a most righteous king, his feet honoured by other rulers of the earth, endowed with brilliance, fame and fortune.

नीचे यस्तस्य नीचोच्चभेशौ द्वावेक एव वा केन्द्रस्थश्चेच्चक्रवर्ती भूपः स्याद्भूपवन्दितः

nīce yastasya nīcoccabheśau dvāveka eva vā kendrasthaśceccakravartī bhūpaḥ syādbhūpavanditaḥ

For the ⟨graha⟩ that is in debilitation, if the lords of its debilitation sign and of its exaltation sign — both, or even one alone — stand in a kendra, ⟨the native⟩ becomes a universal sovereign, a king saluted by kings.

लग्नेऽर्केऽल्पकचः क्रियालसतमः क्रोधी प्रचण्डोन्नतो मानी लोचनरूक्षकः कृशतनुः शूरोऽक्षमो निर्घृणः । स्फोटाक्षः शशिभे क्रिये सतिमिरः सिंहे निशान्धः पुमान् दारिद्र्योपहतो विनष्टतनयो जातस्तुलायां भवेत्

⟨With⟩ the Sun in the ascendant (lagna) ⟨the native has⟩ scanty hair, is most sluggish in action, wrathful, fierce and lofty, proud, dry and lustreless of eye, lean of body, brave, intolerant, pitiless. In the Moon's sign ⟨Cancer⟩, eruptions of the eye; in Aries (kriya), dimness of sight; in Leo, night-blindness; and the man born with ⟨the Sun⟩ in Libra will be stricken by poverty and his sons destroyed.

विगतविद्याविनयवित्तं स्खलितवाचं धनगतः सबलशौर्यश्रियमुदारं स्वजनशत्रुं सहजगः । जनयतीमं सुहृदि सूर्यो विसुखबन्धुक्षितिसुहृद् भवनमुक्तं नृपतिसेवा जनकसम्पद्व्ययकरम्

The Sun placed in the 2nd ⟨makes him⟩ devoid of learning, modesty and wealth, and faltering in speech; in the 3rd, possessed of strength and valour, prosperous, generous, ⟨yet⟩ an enemy to his own people. In the 4th the Sun makes him bereft of happiness, kinsmen, land, friends and house, ⟨living by⟩ the service of a king, and a squanderer of his father's wealth.

सुखधनायुस्तनयहीनं सुमतिमात्मन्यटविगं प्रथितमुर्वीपतिमरिस्थः सुगुणसम्पद्विजयगम् । नृपविरुद्धं कुतनुमस्तेऽध्वगमदारं ह्यवमतं हतधनायुः सुहृदमर्को विगतदृष्टिं निधनगः

sukhadhanāyustanayahīnaṃ sumatimātmanyaṭavigaṃ prathitamurvīpatimaristhaḥ suguṇasampadvijayagam | nṛpaviruddhaṃ kutanumaste'dhvagamadāraṃ hyavamataṃ hatadhanāyuḥ suhṛdamarko vigatadṛṣṭiṃ nidhanagaḥ

In the 5th (ātman) ⟨the Sun makes him⟩ lacking happiness, wealth, long life and sons, ⟨though⟩ of good understanding, and a rover of the forest; standing in the 6th (ari), renowned, a lord of the earth, endowed with good qualities, wealth and victory; in the 7th (asta), at odds with the king, of poor body, a wanderer, wifeless and despised; and the Sun gone to the 8th (nidhana) ⟨makes him⟩ one whose wealth, life-span and friends are destroyed, and deprived of sight.

विजनकोऽर्के ससुतबन्धुस्तपसि देवद्विजमनाः ससुतयानस्तुतिमतिश्रीबलयशाः खे क्षितिपतिः । भवगतेऽर्के बहुधनायुर्विगतशोको जनपतिः पितुरमित्रं विकलनेत्रो विधनपुत्रो व्ययगते

The Sun in the 9th ⟨makes him⟩ fatherless, ⟨yet⟩ with sons and kinsmen, his mind set on the gods and the twice-born; in the 10th, with sons, conveyances, praise, intellect, fortune, strength and fame — a lord of the earth. With the Sun gone to the 11th, ⟨he has⟩ much wealth and long life, is free from grief, a lord of men; in the 12th, an enemy to his father, defective in the eyes, without wealth and without sons.

सिते चन्द्रे लग्ने दृढतनुरदभ्रायुरभयो बलिष्ठो लक्ष्मीवान् भवति विपरीतं क्षयगते । धनाढ्योऽन्तर्वाणिर्विषयसुखवान् वाचि विकलः सहोत्थे सभ्रातृप्रमदबलशौर्योऽतिकृपणः

⟨With⟩ the Moon bright ⟨waxing⟩ and in the ascendant (lagna), ⟨the native is⟩ firm of body, of no scant life-span, fearless, very strong and possessed of fortune; the reverse when it has gone into decline (kṣaya) ⟨waning⟩. In the 2nd (vāc), wealthy, a scholar, enjoying the objects of sense, ⟨yet⟩ impaired; in the 3rd (sahottha), with brothers, gladness, strength and valour, ⟨and⟩ exceedingly miserly.

सुखी भोगी त्यागी सुहृदि ससुहृद्वाहनयशाः सुपुत्रो मेधावी मृदुगतिरमात्यः सुतगते । क्षतेऽल्पायुश्चन्द्रेऽमतिरुदररोगी परिभवी स्मरे दृष्टेः सौम्यो वरयुवतिकान्तोऽतिसुभगः

In the 4th, happy, an enjoyer, a giver, with friends, conveyances and fame; in the 5th, with good sons, of keen intellect, gentle of gait, a minister. With the Moon in the 6th, of short life, dull of mind, suffering from disease of the belly, humiliated; in the 7th, gentle to look upon, beloved of an excellent young woman, exceedingly fortunate.

मृतौ रोग्यल्पायुस्तपसि शुभधर्मात्मसुतवान् जयी सिद्धारम्भो नभसि शुभकृत्सत्प्रियकरः । मनस्वी बह्वायुर्धनतनयभृत्यैः सह भवे व्यये द्वेष्यो दुःखी शशिनि परिभूतोऽलसतमः

In the 8th (mṛti), diseased and short-lived; in the 9th (tapas), endowed with good fortune, dharma, self-possession and sons; in the 10th (nabhas), victorious, successful in what he begins, a doer of auspicious acts, one who does what pleases the good. In the 11th (bhava), high-minded, long-lived, together with wealth, sons and servants; with the Moon in the 12th (vyaya), hated, unhappy, humiliated, most indolent.

क्षततनुरतिक्रूरोऽल्पायुस्तनौ धनसाहसी वचसि विमुखो निर्विद्यार्थः कुजे कुजनाश्रितः । सुगुणधनवाञ्छूरोऽधृष्यः सुखी व्यनुजोऽनुजे सुहृदि विसुहृन्मातृक्षोणीसुखालयवाहनः

Mars in the 1st (tanu): a body marked with wounds, exceedingly cruel, short-lived, rash where wealth is concerned. In the 2nd (vacas), ill-favoured of face (vimukha), without learning or money, taking shelter with base people. In the 3rd (anuja), endowed with good qualities and wealth, brave, unassailable, happy, ⟨but⟩ without younger brothers; in the 4th (suhṛd), deprived of friends, mother, land, happiness, dwelling and conveyances.

विसुखतनयोऽनर्थप्रायः सुते पिशुनोऽल्पधीः प्रबलमदनः श्रीमान् ख्यातो रिपौ विजयी नृपः । अनुचितकरो रोगार्तोऽस्तेऽध्वगो मृतदारवान् कुतनुरधनोऽल्पायुश्छिद्रे कुजे जननिन्दितः

In the 5th, without happiness and sons, beset for the most part by misfortune, a slanderer, of little intelligence; in the 6th, of powerful passion, prosperous, renowned, victorious, a king. In the 7th, doing what is unfitting, tormented by disease, a wanderer, ⟨and⟩ his wife dead; with Mars in the 8th, of poor body, without wealth, short-lived, reviled by people.

नृपसुहृदपि द्वेष्योऽतातः शुभे जनघातको नभसि नृपतिः क्रूरो दाता प्रधानजनस्तुतः । धनसुखयुतोऽशोकः शूरो भवे सुशीलः कुजे नयनविकृतः क्रूरोऽदारो व्यये पिशुनोऽधमः

In the 9th, though a friend of the king yet hated, fatherless, a slayer of men; in the 10th, a king, cruel, a giver, praised by the leading men. Mars in the 11th ⟨makes him⟩ possessed of wealth and happiness, free from sorrow, brave, of good character; in the 12th, deformed in the eyes, cruel, wifeless, a slanderer, base.

Mercury in the 1st ⟨gives⟩ long life, sweet and clever speech, and the understanding of the meaning of all the śāstras. In the 2nd, wealth earned by his own intellect, a poet, of unblemished speech, an eater of sweet food. In the 3rd, brave, of middling life-span, with good brothers, toiling, ⟨yet⟩ attended by wretchedness. In the 4th, discerning, of flattering speech, an enjoyer of happiness, friends, fields, grain and wealth.

With ⟨Mercury⟩ standing in the 5th, ⟨he has⟩ learning, comfort and majesty, abundant sons, and is versed in mantras. In the 6th (dviṣ), given to anger through quarrels, a destroyer of the enemy's strength, indolent, harsh of speech. In the 7th (asta), wise, finely dressed, possessed of every dignity: he obtains a wealthy wife. With Mercury in the 8th, of famous name, long-lived, the supporter of his family, a ruler, a wielder of the rod ⟨a commander⟩.

विद्यार्थाचारधर्मैः सह तपसि बुधे स्यात्प्रवीणोऽतिवाग्मी सिद्धारम्भः सुविद्याबलमतिसुखसत्कर्मसत्यान्वितः खे । बह्वायुः सत्यसन्धो विपुलधनसुखी लाभगे भृत्ययुक्तो दीनो विद्याविहीनः परिभवसहितोऽन्त्ये नृशंसोऽलसश्च

Having known the sign's own nature, its haunt, its form and its colour, one should here declare by sound reasoning the results that answer to it. And whatever result is stated for the ascendant (vilagna), that same is to be declared for the Moon's sign (candra-lagna) as well.

ग्रहे सति निजोच्चगे भवति रत्नगर्भाधिपो महीपतिकृतस्तुतिर्महितसम्पदामालयः उदारगुणसंयुतो जयति विक्रमार्को यथा नये यशसि विक्रमे वितरणे धृतौ कौशले

When a graha stands in its own exaltation, ⟨the native⟩ becomes lord of the jewel-wombed earth, praised by kings, and an abode of honoured riches. Endowed with noble qualities, he triumphs as Vikramārka did — in policy, in fame, in valour, in liberality, in fortitude, in skill.

स्वमन्दिरगते ग्रहे प्रभुपरिग्रहादायतिं प्रभुत्वमपि वा गृहस्थितिमचञ्चलां प्राप्नुयात् । नवं भवनमुर्वराक्षितिमुपैति काले स्वके जने बहुमतिं पुनः सकलनष्टवस्तून्यपि

When a graha is in its own house, ⟨the native⟩ attains advancement through a master's patronage, or lordship itself, and an unshaken standing in his own household. In that graha's own ⟨daśā⟩ period he obtains a new dwelling and fertile land, high regard among his people, and moreover all the things he had lost.

ग्रहः सुहृत्क्षेत्रगतः सुहृद्भिः कार्यस्य सिद्धिं नवसौहृदं च । सत्पुत्रजायाधनधान्यभाग्यं ददात्ययं सर्वजनानुकूल्यम्

grahaḥ suhṛtkṣetragataḥ suhṛdbhiḥ kāryasya siddhiṃ navasauhṛdaṃ ca | satputrajāyādhanadhānyabhāgyaṃ dadātyayaṃ sarvajanānukūlyam

A graha gone to a friend's sign gives the accomplishment of one's aims through friends, and new friendships; good sons, a wife, wealth, grain and good fortune — and the goodwill of all people.

गते ग्रहे शत्रुगृहं निकृष्टतां परान्नवृत्तिं परमन्दिरस्थितिम् । अकिञ्चनत्वं रिपुपीडनं सदा स्निग्धोऽपि तस्यातिरिपुत्वमाप्नुयात्

gate grahe śatrugṛhaṃ nikṛṣṭatāṃ parānnavṛttiṃ paramandirasthitim | akiñcanatvaṃ ripupīḍanaṃ sadā snigdho'pi tasyātiriputvamāpnuyāt

When a graha has gone to an enemy's house, ⟨it gives⟩ a degraded condition, subsistence on another's food, residence in another's house, destitution, and constant harassment by enemies; and even one who was affectionate toward him becomes his bitter enemy.

नीचे ग्रहेऽधः पतनं स्ववृत्तेर्दैन्यं दुराचारमृणाप्तिमाहुः । नीचाश्रयं कीकटदेशवासं भृत्यत्वमध्वानमनर्थकार्यम्

nīce grahe'dhaḥ patanaṃ svavṛtterdainyaṃ durācāramṛṇāptimāhuḥ | nīcāśrayaṃ kīkaṭadeśavāsaṃ bhṛtyatvamadhvānamanarthakāryam

When a graha is debilitated, they declare: a fall from one's own livelihood, wretchedness, evil conduct, and the contracting of debt; dependence on the low, dwelling in the Kīkaṭa country, servitude, journeying, and undertakings that come to nothing.

ग्रहो मौढ्यं प्राप्तो मरणमचिरात् स्त्रीसुतधनैः प्रहीणत्वं व्यर्थे कलहमपवादं परिभवम् । समर्क्षस्थः खेटो न कलयति वैशेषिकफलं सुखम् वा दुःखं वा जनयति यथापूर्वमचलम्

graho mauḍhyaṃ prāpto maraṇamacirāt strīsutadhanaiḥ prahīṇatvaṃ vyarthe kalahamapavādaṃ paribhavam | samarkṣasthaḥ kheṭo na kalayati vaiśeṣikaphalaṃ sukham vā duḥkhaṃ vā janayati yathāpūrvamacalam

A graha that has come to combustion (mauḍhya) ⟨gives⟩ death before long, deprivation of wife, sons and wealth, quarrel over what is worthless, calumny and humiliation. A graha standing in a neutral's sign reckons up no distinctive result: it produces happiness or sorrow just as before, unaltered.

वक्रं गतः स्वोच्चफलं विदध्यात् सपत्ननीचर्क्षगतोऽपि खेटः । वर्गोत्तमांशस्थितखेचरोऽपि स्वक्षेत्रगस्योक्तफलानि तद्वत्

vakraṃ gataḥ svoccaphalaṃ vidadhyāt sapatnanīcarkṣagato'pi kheṭaḥ | vargottamāṃśasthitakhecaro'pi svakṣetragasyoktaphalāni tadvat

A graha that has turned retrograde gives the result of its own exaltation, even though it stands in an enemy's sign or in its sign of debilitation. Likewise a graha placed in a vargottama aṃśa ⟨gives⟩ the results stated for one placed in its own sign.

शुभाधिपयुतेक्षिते सुतकलत्रभे लग्नतो विधोरपि तयोः शुभं त्वितरथान सिद्धिस्तयोः । सिताद्व्ययसुखाष्टगैः खरखगैरसन्मध्यगे सितेऽप्यथ शुभेतरेक्षितयुते च जायावधः

When the 5th and the 7th houses — reckoned from the lagna and from the Moon as well — are joined with or aspected by benefics and by their own lords, there is auspiciousness in respect of those two ⟨children and wife⟩; otherwise there is no attainment of the two. When harsh sky-goers ⟨malefics⟩ stand in the 12th, the 4th and the 8th from Venus, and when Venus himself is set in the midst of malefics, and further when ⟨he is⟩ aspected or joined by other-than-benefics ⟨malefics⟩ — ⟨there is⟩ the slaying of the wife.

दारेशे सुतगे प्रणष्टवनितोऽपुत्रोऽथवा धीश्वरो द्यूने वा निधनेश्वरोऽपि कुरुते पत्नीविनाशं ध्रुवम् । क्षीणेन्दौ सुतगे व्ययास्ततनुगैः पापैरदारात्मजः स्त्रीसंगाद्धननाशनं मदगयोः स्वर्भानुभान्वोर्वदेत्

⟨When⟩ the lord of the 7th (dāreśa) is in the 5th, the man's wife is destroyed, or else he is sonless. The lord of the 5th (dhī) in the 7th (dyūna), or the lord of the 8th ⟨there⟩ as well, assuredly brings about the destruction of the wife. ⟨When⟩ the waning Moon is in the 5th and malefics occupy the 12th, the 7th (asta) and the lagna, ⟨the native is⟩ without a wife and without children. ⟨When⟩ Rāhu (svarbhānu) and the Sun are in the 7th (mada), one should declare destruction of wealth through the company of women.

शुक्रे वृश्चिकगे मदे मृतवधूः कामे वृषस्थे बुधे स्त्रीनाशस्त्वथ नीचगे सुरगुरौ द्यूनाधिरूढे तथा । जामित्रे झषगे शनौ सति तथा भौमेऽथवा स्त्रीमृतिश्चन्द्रक्षेत्रगयोर्मदेऽर्किकुजयोः पत्नी सती शोभना

⟨When⟩ Venus is in the 7th (mada) in Scorpio, the wife dies. ⟨When⟩ Mercury is in the 7th (kāma) in Taurus, ⟨there is⟩ destruction of the wife; and so too when Jupiter (suraguru), debilitated, is mounted upon the 7th (dyūna). Likewise, when Saturn — or else Mars — is present in the 7th (jāmitra) in Pisces (jhaṣa), ⟨there is⟩ the death of the wife. But when Saturn and Mars stand in the 7th (mada) in the Moon's sign ⟨Cancer⟩, the wife is chaste and excellent.

अस्ते वास्तपतावसद्ग्रहयुते दृष्टेऽप्यसन्मध्यगे नीचारातिगृहेऽर्ककान्त्यभिहते ब्रूयात्कलत्रच्युतिम् । कामे वा सुतभाग्ययोर्विकलदारोऽसौ सपापे भृगौ शुक्रे वा कुजमन्दवर्गसहिते दृष्टे परस्त्रीरतः

⟨When⟩ the 7th (asta) or the lord of the 7th is joined with malefic grahas, or aspected ⟨by them⟩, or set in the midst of malefics, or ⟨placed⟩ in the sign of debilitation or of an enemy, or smitten by the Sun's rays ⟨combust⟩, one should declare the falling away of the wife. ⟨When⟩ Venus (bhṛgu), accompanied by a malefic, is in the 7th (kāma), or in the 5th or the 9th, that man's wife is defective. And ⟨when⟩ Venus stands in the vargas of Mars and Saturn, joined with or aspected ⟨by them⟩, ⟨he is⟩ addicted to other men's wives.

भौमार्क्यस्ते भृगुजशशिनोर्दारहीनोऽसुतो वा क्लीबेऽस्ते वा भवति भवगौ द्वौ ग्रहौ स्त्रीद्वयं स्यात् । द्वन्द्वर्क्षांशे मदपतिसितौ तस्य जायाद्वयं स्यात् ताभ्यां युक्तैर्गगननिलयैर्दारसंख्यां वदन्तु

⟨When⟩ Mars and Saturn are in the 7th from Venus and the Moon, ⟨the native is⟩ bereft of a wife, or childless; and it happens so too when a eunuch graha is in the 7th (asta). ⟨If⟩ two grahas occupy that house, there will be two wives. ⟨If⟩ the lord of the 7th (mada) and Venus are in a dual sign or in its navāṃśa, that man will have two wives. From the sky-dwellers ⟨grahas⟩ joined with those two, let ⟨the astrologers⟩ declare the number of wives.

स्त्रीसंख्यां मदगैर्ग्रहैर्मृतिमसत्खेटैश्च सद्भिः स्थितिं द्यूनेशे सबले शुभे सति वधूः साध्वी सुपुत्रान्विता । पापोऽपि स्वगृहं गतः शुभकरः पत्न्याश्चकामस्थितो हित्वा षड्व्ययरन्ध्रपान्मदनगाः सौम्यास्तु सौख्यावहाः

The number of wives ⟨is to be told⟩ from the grahas standing in the 7th (mada); her death, from malefic grahas; and from benefics, her continuance. When the lord of the 7th (dyūna) is strong and benefic, the wife is virtuous and blessed with good sons. Even a malefic, gone to his own house ⟨and⟩ standing in the 7th (kāma), is a doer of good to the wife. But benefics in the 7th (madana) — excepting the lords of the 6th, the 12th and the 8th (randhra) — are bringers of happiness.

भार्यानाशस्त्वशुभसहितौ वीक्षितौ वार्थकामौ तत्र प्राहुस्त्वशुभफलदां क्रूरदृष्टिं विशेषात् । एवं पत्न्या अपि सति मदे चाष्टमे वास्ति दोषः सौम्यैर्दृष्टे सति शुभयुते दंपती भाग्यवन्तौ

⟨There is⟩ destruction of the wife when the 2nd (artha) and the 7th (kāma) are joined with, or aspected by, inauspicious ⟨grahas⟩. There ⟨the ancients⟩ have declared a malefic's aspect to be especially productive of inauspicious fruit. In the same way ⟨it holds⟩ for the wife also; and there is a blemish when ⟨such affliction falls⟩ on the 7th (mada) and on the 8th. But when ⟨those houses⟩ are aspected by benefics and joined with benefics, the wedded pair (dampatī) are fortunate.

चन्द्रे समन्दे मदगे पुनर्भूः पतिर्भवेद्वाप्यसुतो विदारः । नीचारिभस्थैरशुभैर्मदे स्त्रीपुंसोर्मृतिः स्यान्निधने धने वा

candre samande madage punarbhūḥ patirbhavedvāpyasuto vidāraḥ | nīcāribhasthairaśubhairmade strīpuṃsormṛtiḥ syānnidhane dhane vā

⟨When⟩ the Moon together with Saturn is in the 7th (mada), he becomes the husband of a punarbhū ⟨a woman married a second time⟩, or else he is childless and wifeless. ⟨When⟩ malefics standing in signs of debilitation or of an enemy are in the 7th (mada), or in the 8th (nidhana), or in the 2nd, there will be the death of the woman and of the man ⟨both⟩.

लग्नात्कलत्रभवने समराशिसंज्ञे भावाधिपेऽपि च तथैव गतेऽसुरेड्ये । सूर्याभितप्तरहिते सुतदारनाथे वीर्यान्विते तु जननं ससुतं कलत्रम्

lagnātkalatrabhavane samarāśisaṃjñe bhāvādhipe'pi ca tathaiva gate'sureḍye | sūryābhitaptarahite sutadāranāthe vīryānvite tu jananaṃ sasutaṃ kalatram

⟨When⟩ the 7th house from the lagna is an even sign (sama-rāśi), and the lord of that bhāva has likewise gone ⟨to an even sign⟩, and Venus (asureḍya) likewise; and ⟨when⟩ the lords of the 5th and the 7th are free of being scorched by the Sun ⟨not combust⟩ and are endowed with strength — then the wife is one who bears children.

कुटुम्बदारव्ययराशिनाथा जीवेक्षिताः कोणचतुष्टयस्थाः । दारेश्वराद्वित्तकलत्रलाभे सौम्याः कलत्रं ससुतं सुखाढ्यम्

kuṭumbadāravyayarāśināthā jīvekṣitāḥ koṇacatuṣṭayasthāḥ | dāreśvarādvittakalatralābhe saumyāḥ kalatraṃ sasutaṃ sukhāḍhyam

⟨When⟩ the lords of the signs of the 2nd (kuṭumba), the 7th (dāra) and the 12th (vyaya), aspected by Jupiter (jīva), stand in trikoṇas and kendras; and ⟨when⟩ benefics occupy the 2nd (vitta), the 7th (kalatra) and the 11th (lābha) from the lord of the 7th — ⟨then⟩ the wife is one with children and rich in happiness.

लग्नास्तनाथस्थितभांशकोणे नीचोच्चभे स्त्रीजननं च पत्युः । चन्द्राष्टवर्गेऽधिकबिन्दुराशौ कलत्रजन्मेति तथा धवस्य

lagnāstanāthasthitabhāṃśakoṇe nīcoccabhe strījananaṃ ca patyuḥ | candrāṣṭavarge'dhikabindurāśau kalatrajanmeti tathā dhavasya

The birth-sign of the wife ⟨reckoned⟩ for the husband ⟨is to be told⟩ from the trikoṇa of the sign and the navāṃśa occupied by the lords of the lagna and of the 7th (asta), ⟨or⟩ from ⟨their⟩ sign of debilitation or exaltation. And ⟨so too⟩ from the sign holding the most bindus in the Moon's aṣṭakavarga — thus is the birth of the wife ⟨declared⟩, and likewise that of the husband (dhava).

कामस्थकामाधिपभार्गवानामृक्षं दिशं शंसति तस्य पत्न्याः । शुक्रोऽस्तपो वा तनुनाथभांशत्रिकोणमायाति तदा विवाहः

kāmasthakāmādhipabhārgavānāmṛkṣaṃ diśaṃ śaṃsati tasya patnyāḥ | śukro'stapo vā tanunāthabhāṃśatrikoṇamāyāti tadā vivāhaḥ

The sign (ṛkṣa) of ⟨the graha⟩ standing in the 7th (kāma), of the lord of the 7th, and of Venus (bhārgava) declares the direction ⟨of the region⟩ of his wife. When Venus, or the lord of the 7th (astapa), comes to the trikoṇa of the sign or the navāṃśa ⟨occupied by⟩ the lord of the 1st (tanu), then ⟨takes place⟩ the marriage.

कलत्रसंस्थस्य कलत्रदृष्टेर्दशागमे वाथ कलत्रपस्य । यदा विलग्नाधिपतिः प्रयाति कलत्रभं तत्र कलत्रलाभः

kalatrasaṃsthasya kalatradṛṣṭerdaśāgame vātha kalatrapasya | yadā vilagnādhipatiḥ prayāti kalatrabhaṃ tatra kalatralābhaḥ

At the coming of the daśā of ⟨the graha⟩ situated in the 7th (kalatra), or of one that aspects the 7th, or else of the lord of the 7th; and when the lord of the lagna proceeds to the 7th house — then there is the gaining of a wife.

कलत्रनाथस्थितभांशकेशयोः सितक्षपानायकयोर्बलीयसः । दशागमे द्यूनपयुक्तभांशकत्रिकोणगे देवगुरौ करग्रहः

kalatranāthasthitabhāṃśakeśayoḥ sitakṣapānāyakayorbalīyasaḥ | daśāgame dyūnapayuktabhāṃśakatrikoṇage devagurau karagrahaḥ

At the coming of the daśā of the stronger among these — the lords of the sign and of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 7th, and Venus (sita) and the Moon (kṣapā-nāyaka, lord of the night) — ⟨and⟩ when Jupiter (devaguru) is passing through a trikoṇa from the sign or the navāṃśa joined with the lord of the 7th (dyūnapa), ⟨then occurs⟩ the taking of the hand ⟨in marriage⟩.

कलत्रनाथे रिपुनीचसंस्थे मूढेऽथवा पापनिरीक्षिते वा कलत्रभे पापयुतेऽथ दृष्टे कलत्रहानिं प्रवदन्ति सन्तः

kalatranāthe ripunīcasaṃsthe mūḍhe'thavā pāpanirīkṣite vā kalatrabhe pāpayute'tha dṛṣṭe kalatrahāniṃ pravadanti santaḥ

When the lord of the 7th stands in an enemy's sign or in debilitation, or is combust (mūḍha), or is aspected by malefics; and when the 7th house is joined with, or aspected by, malefics — the good ⟨astrologers⟩ declare loss of the wife.

यद्यत्पुंप्रसवे क्षमं तदखिलं स्त्रीणां प्रिये वा वदेन्माङ्गल्यं निधनात् सुतांश्च नवमाल्लग्नात्तनोश्चारुताम् । भर्तारं सुभगत्वमस्तभवनात्सङ्गं सतीत्वं सुखात् सन्तस्तेषु शुभप्रदास्त्वशुभदाः क्रूरास्तदीशं विना

Whatever holds good in a male nativity, all of that should be declared for women too — or with reference to the husband. Māṅgalya ⟨the auspicious state of wifehood⟩ ⟨is to be read⟩ from the eighth house (nidhana); children from the ninth; beauty of body from the lagna; the husband and the state of being well-beloved ⟨of him⟩ from the seventh house (asta-bhavana); sexual union and wifely chastity from the fourth (sukha). Benefics in those houses give auspicious results and malefics inauspicious ones — except the lord of that house.

उदयहिमकरौ द्वौ युग्मगौ सौम्यदृष्टौ सुतनयपतिभूषासम्पदुत्कृष्टशीला । अशुभसहितदृष्टौ चौजगौ पुंस्वभावा कुटिलमतिरवश्या भर्तुरुग्रा दरिद्रा

⟨If⟩ the lagna and the Moon, the two of them, stand in even signs and are aspected by benefics, ⟨she has⟩ good children, a husband, ornaments and wealth, and is of excellent character. ⟨If⟩ the two are joined with malefics and aspected ⟨by them⟩ and stand in odd signs, ⟨she is⟩ masculine in nature, crooked of mind, not to be brought under control, fierce towards her husband, and poor.

सद्राश्यंशयुते मदे द्युतियशोविद्यार्थवांस्तत्पतिर्व्यत्यस्ते कुतनुर्जडश्च कितवो निःस्वो वियोगस्तयोः । आग्नेयैर्मदनस्थितैश्च विधवा मिश्रैः पुनर्भूर्भवेत् क्रूरेष्वायुषि भर्तृहन्त्र्यपि धने सन्तः स्वयं स्त्रीमृतिः

When the seventh house (mada) is joined with a good sign and a good aṃśa, her husband is possessed of lustre, fame, learning and wealth. When it is the reverse, ⟨he is⟩ ill-bodied, dull, a gambler and destitute, and there is separation between the two. With fiery ⟨grahas⟩ stationed in the seventh (madana) she is a widow; with mixed ⟨benefic and malefic⟩ ones she becomes a punarbhū ⟨a woman married a second time⟩. With malefics in the eighth (āyus) she is the slayer of her husband; and when they are in the second (dhana), it is the woman's own death.

सुतस्थेऽलिस्त्रीगोहरिषु हिमगौ चाल्पतनया यमारार्कांशर्क्षे मदनसदने सामयभगा । सुखे पापैर्युक्ते भवति कुलटा मन्दकुजयोर्गृहेऽशे लग्नेन्दू भृगुरपि च पुंश्चल्यभिहिता

The Moon placed in the fifth house (suta) in Scorpio, Virgo, Taurus or Leo — ⟨she has⟩ few children. ⟨When the seventh house⟩ stands in a sign or aṃśa of Saturn, Mars or the Sun in the seventh (madana-sadana), she has a diseased vulva. When the fourth (sukha) is joined by malefics she becomes a kulaṭā ⟨an unchaste woman⟩. ⟨When⟩ the lagna, the Moon, and Venus as well ⟨stand⟩ in a sign or aṃśa of Saturn and Mars, she is declared a puṃścalī ⟨a wanton⟩.

शुभक्षेत्रांशेऽस्ते सुभगजघना मङ्गलवती विधोः सत्संबन्धेऽप्युदयसुखयोः साध्व्यतिगुणा । त्रिकोणे सौम्याश्चेत्सुखसुतसंपद्गुणवती बलोनाः क्रूराश्चेद्यदि भवति वन्ध्या मृतसुता

⟨When the seventh house (asta) stands⟩ in a benefic's sign and aṃśa, ⟨she is⟩ of comely hips and enjoys the auspicious state of wifehood. ⟨She is⟩ chaste and of surpassing virtue if there is a connection with benefics for the Moon (vidhu), and for the lagna and the 4th (sukha), as well. If benefics are in a trikoṇa, she is endowed with comfort, children, wealth and good qualities; and if malefics devoid of strength ⟨are there⟩, she becomes barren, or her children die.

चन्द्रे भौमगृहे कुजादिकथितत्रिंशांशकेषु क्रमात् दुष्टा दास्यसती सुशीलविभवा मायाविनी दूषणी । शुक्रर्क्षे बहुदूषणान्यपतिगा पूज्या सुधीर्विश्रुता ज्ञर्क्षे छद्मवती नपुंसकसमा साध्वी गुणाढ्योत्सुका

When the Moon is in a sign of Mars, in the triṃśāṃśas of Mars and the rest as already declared, ⟨the results⟩ in order ⟨are⟩: wicked; an unchaste maidservant; well-conducted and prosperous; deceitful; corrupting. In a sign of Venus: of many blemishes; going to another's husband; honoured; wise; renowned. In a sign of Mercury: given to deceit (chadmavatī); like a eunuch; chaste; rich in virtues; ardent.

In the Moon's ⟨sign⟩: self-willed; a slayer of her husband; of highly honoured qualities; skilled in a craft; of good conduct. In Jupiter's: rich in virtues; given to renunciation; exceedingly virtuous; knowing the crafts; exceedingly chaste. In Saturn's: a maidservant; attached to another; one whose husband depends on her (āśritapati); unchaste; childless. Then in the Sun's sign she will be a bad wife; of low conduct; the wife of a king; masculine in her doings; attached to another.

शशिलग्नसमायुक्तैः फलं त्रिंशांशकैरिदम् । बलाबलविकल्पेन तयोरेवं विचिन्तयेत्

This result ⟨is to be read⟩ from the triṃśāṃśas occupied by the Moon and the lagna together. One should reason it out in this way, by the alternative of the strength or weakness of the two.

ज्येष्ठभ्रातरमम्बिकां च पितरं भर्तुः कनिष्ठं क्रमात् ज्येष्ठा ह्यासुरशूर्पजाश्च वनिता घ्नन्तीति तज्ज्ञा विदुः । चित्रार्द्राभुजगस्वराट्छतभिषङ् मूलाग्नितिष्योद्भवा वन्ध्या वा विधवाथवा मृतसुता त्यक्ता प्रियेणाधना

A woman born in Jyeṣṭhā, in Ahi, in the āsura ⟨nakṣatra⟩ or in Śūrpa slays, in that order, her husband's elder brother, his mother, his father and his younger brother — so those who know this declare. And a woman born in Citrā, Ārdrā, Bhujaga, Svarāṭ, Śatabhiṣaj, Mūla, Agni or Tiṣya is barren, or a widow, or her children die, or she is cast off by her husband, or she is destitute.

⟨When⟩ the Moon and the lords of the seventh (asta), of the lagna (udaya) and of the ninth (bhāgya), together with benefics, occupy good houses and are brilliant, ⟨she is⟩ honoured among her kinsfolk, skilled in meritorious works, endowed with beauty and fortune, a giver of delight to her husband, blessed with good sons, of auspicious conduct, and chaste. And she shines as a sumaṅgalī ⟨a wife whose husband lives⟩ and fair of body (sutanu) for just so long as the eighth house is rich in benefics.

शीतज्योतिषि योषितोऽनुपचयस्थाने कुजेनेक्षिते जातं गर्भफलप्रदं खलु रजः स्यादन्यथा निष्फलम् । दृष्टेऽस्मिन् गुरुणा निजोपचयगे कुर्यान्निषेकं पुमान् अत्याज्ये समये शुभाधिकयुते पर्वादिकालोज्झिते

When a woman's cool-rayed ⟨Moon⟩ stands in an anupacaya house ⟨other than the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th⟩ and is aspected by Mars, the menstruation that then occurs is indeed productive of conception; otherwise it is fruitless. When this ⟨Moon⟩ is aspected by Jupiter and stands in an upacaya from itself, the man should perform niṣeka ⟨the impregnation⟩ — at a time not to be rejected, joined with an abundance of benefics, and free of the parvan days and the like.

When the lords of the 5th house reckoned from the ascendant (lagna) and from the Moon, and Jupiter, are well placed; when the 5th house is joined with or aspected by benefics and by the lords of good houses; and when the lords of the lagna and of the 5th are joined together, or mutually well aspected, or seated each in the other's sign — then there is the obtaining of sons.

लग्नामरेड्यशशिनां सुतभेषु पापैर्युक्तेक्षितेष्वथ शुभैरयुतेक्षितेषु । पापोभयेषु सुतभेषु सुतेश्वरेषु दुःस्थानगेषु न भवन्ति सुताः कथंचित्

If the 5th houses reckoned from the ascendant, from Jupiter and from the Moon are joined with or aspected by malefics and are neither joined with nor aspected by benefics; if those 5th houses are hemmed in by malefics on both sides; and if the lords of the 5th stand in evil houses — then sons are not born at all.

पापे स्वर्क्षगते सुते तनयभाक् तस्मिन् सपापे पुनः पुत्राः स्युर्बहुलाः शुभस्वभवने सोग्रे सुते पुत्रहा । संज्ञां चाल्पसुतर्क्षमित्यलिबृषस्त्रीसिंहभानां विदुः तद्राशौ सुतभावगेऽल्पसुतवान् कालान्तरेऽसाविति

A malefic in the 5th house in its own sign gives a son; and when that same malefic is joined by another malefic, sons will be many. But a benefic in the 5th in its own house, if joined by a cruel graha, destroys sons. Scorpio, Taurus, Virgo and Leo — these signs are known as the 'signs of few sons'; when the 5th house falls in one of them, he is a man of few sons, and ⟨they come⟩ only after a long interval.

The Sun in a sign of few sons; Saturn in the 8th; Mars in the ascendant; Saturn, Jupiter and Mars standing in the ascendant, the 8th and the 12th while the 5th house is a sign of few sons; the Moon in the 11th; the 5th house occupied by Jupiter together with a malefic; the ascendant joined by many grahas — ⟨in these cases⟩ he obtains a son only after a long interval and by effort.

सूर्ये नान्ययुते सुतर्क्षसहिते चन्द्रस्य गेहे स्थिते भौमे वा भृगुजेऽपि वा सति सुतप्राप्तिं द्वितीयस्त्रियाम् । मन्दे वा बहुपुत्रवाञ्छशिनि वा सौम्येऽपि वाल्पात्मजो देवेड्ये बहुदारिका शशिगृहे तद्वत्सुताधिष्ठिते

When the 5th house is the Moon's own sign ⟨Cancer⟩ and the Sun stands there unjoined by any other graha, or Mars stands there, or Venus — a son is obtained from a second wife. With Saturn ⟨there⟩ he has many sons; with the Moon, or with Mercury, few sons; with Jupiter, many daughters. All this holds in the same way ⟨for a graha⟩ in the Moon's sign when that sign is the 5th (sutādhiṣṭhita).

Malefics, Venus and the Moon standing in the 4th, the 7th and the 10th, and malefics standing in the 12th, the 8th, the 5th and the ascendant — ⟨these bring⟩ the extinction of the family line. Venus and Mercury in the 7th are held ⟨to do the same⟩; so too Jupiter together with malefics in the 4th; and the Moon in the 5th when malefics occupy the 8th, the 12th and the ascendant.

पापे लग्ने लग्नपे पुत्रसंस्थे धीशे वीर्ये वेश्मनीन्दावपुत्रः । ओजर्क्षेशे पुत्रगे सूर्यदृष्टे चन्द्रे पुत्रक्लेशभाक् स्यादसूनुः

pāpe lagne lagnape putrasaṃsthe dhīśe vīrye veśmanīndāvaputraḥ | ojarkṣeśe putrage sūryadṛṣṭe candre putrakleśabhāk syādasūnuḥ

A malefic in the ascendant, the lord of the ascendant placed in the 5th, the lord of the 5th bereft of strength, and the Moon in ⟨that⟩ house — ⟨the native is⟩ sonless. When the lord of an odd sign is in the 5th and the Moon is aspected by the Sun, he suffers distress on account of children and is without a son.

मान्दं सुतर्क्षं यदि वाऽथबौधं मान्द्यर्कपुत्रान्वितवीक्षितं चेत् । दत्तात्मजः स्यादुदयास्तनाथसंबन्धहीनो विबलः सुतेशः

māndaṃ sutarkṣaṃ yadi vā'thabaudhaṃ māndyarkaputrānvitavīkṣitaṃ cet | dattātmajaḥ syādudayāstanāthasaṃbandhahīno vibalaḥ suteśaḥ

If the 5th house is a sign of Saturn or of Mercury and is joined with or aspected by Māndi and by Saturn, ⟨the native⟩ will have an adopted son; ⟨so too⟩ when the lord of the 5th is weak and devoid of connection with the lords of the ascendant and of the 7th.

नीचारिमूढोपगते सुतेशे रिःफारिरन्ध्राधिपसंयुते वा । सुतस्य नाशः कथितोऽत्र तज्ज्ञैः शुभैरदृष्टे सुतभे सुतेशे

nīcārimūḍhopagate suteśe riḥphārirandhrādhipasaṃyute vā | sutasya nāśaḥ kathito'tra tajjñaiḥ śubhairadṛṣṭe sutabhe suteśe

When the lord of the 5th is debilitated, or in an enemy's sign, or combust, or joined with the lords of the 12th, the 6th and the 8th, and when neither the 5th house nor its lord is aspected by benefics — the destruction of the son is declared here by those who know.

सुतनाथजीवकुजभास्करेषु वै पुरुषांशकेषु च गतेषु कुत्रचित् । मुनयो वदन्ति बहुपुत्रतां तदा सुतनाथवीर्यवशतः सुपुत्रताम्

sutanāthajīvakujabhāskareṣu vai puruṣāṃśakeṣu ca gateṣu kutracit | munayo vadanti bahuputratāṃ tadā sutanāthavīryavaśataḥ suputratām

When the lord of the 5th, Jupiter, Mars and the Sun have gone to male aṃśas anywhere ⟨in the chart⟩, the sages then declare that there will be many sons; and, in proportion to the strength of the lord of the 5th, that they will be good sons.

पुंराश्यंशेऽधीश्वरे पुंग्रहेन्द्रैर्युक्ते दृष्टे पुंग्रहे पुंप्रसूतिः । स्त्रीराश्यंशे स्त्रीग्रहैर्युक्तदृष्टे स्त्रीणां जन्म स्यात्सुतर्क्षे सुतेशे

When the lord of the 5th ⟨and the 5th house⟩ are in a male sign and a male aṃśa, joined with and aspected by male grahas, the offspring will be male. When the 5th house and its lord are in a female sign and a female aṃśa, joined with and aspected by female grahas, there will be the birth of females.

बलयुक्तौ स्वगृहांशेष्वर्कसितावुपचयर्क्षगौ पुंसाम् । स्त्रीणां वा कुजचन्द्रौ यदा तदा संभवति गर्भः

balayuktau svagṛhāṃśeṣvarkasitāvupacayarkṣagau puṃsām | strīṇāṃ vā kujacandrau yadā tadā saṃbhavati garbhaḥ

When, for men, the Sun and Venus are endowed with strength, in their own signs and their own aṃśas, and placed in upacaya signs ⟨the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th⟩; or, for women, Mars and the Moon ⟨are so placed⟩ — then conception takes place.

अशत्रुनीचारिनवांशकैः सुते सुतेशयुक्तैरपि तैस्तथाविधैः । सुतर्क्षगैर्वा गुरुभादिनांशकात्सुते फलैः पुत्रमितिर्विचिन्त्यते

aśatrunīcārinavāṃśakaiḥ sute suteśayuktairapi taistathāvidhaiḥ | sutarkṣagairvā gurubhādināṃśakātsute phalaiḥ putramitirvicintyate

From the navāṃśas in the 5th that are neither of an enemy nor of debilitation; from those of the same kind that are joined with the lord of the 5th; or from ⟨those held by⟩ grahas standing in the 5th; and from the results ⟨reckoned⟩ in the 5th counted from the sign of Jupiter and onward, and from the aṃśa — the number of sons is to be considered.

जीवेन्दुक्षितिजस्फुटैक्यभवने युग्मे च युग्मांशके स्त्रीणां क्षेत्रबलं वदन्ति सुतदं मिश्रे प्रयासात्फलम् भास्वच्छुक्रगुरुस्फुटैक्यभवनेऽप्योजांशकेऽप्योजभे पुंसां बीजबलं सुतप्रदमिमं मिश्रे तु मिश्रं वदेत्

When the sign formed by the sum of the exact longitudes of Jupiter, the Moon and Mars is even, and the aṃśa also even, they call it the kṣetra-bala ⟨field-strength⟩ of women, and it gives children; if it is mixed, the result comes ⟨only⟩ from effort. When the sign formed by the sum of the exact longitudes of the Sun, Venus and Jupiter is odd, and the aṃśa also odd, this is the bīja-bala ⟨seed-strength⟩ of men, and it gives children; but if it is mixed, one should declare a mixed result.

पञ्चघ्नाच्छशिनः स्फुटादिषुहतं भानुस्फुटं शोधयेन्नीत्वा तत्र तिथिं सिते शुभतिथौ पुत्रोऽस्त्ययत्नादपि । कृष्णे नास्ति सुतस्तिथेर्बलवशाद्ब्रूयाद्द्वयोः पक्षयोः दर्शे च्छिद्रतिथौ च विष्टिकरणे न स्यात् स्थिराख्ये सुतः

From five times the Moon's exact longitude subtract the Sun's exact longitude multiplied by five ⟨iṣu⟩; carry the remainder over into a tithi. If it falls in the bright fortnight and on an auspicious tithi, there is a son even without effort. In the dark fortnight there is no son. For both fortnights one should speak according to the strength of the tithi. On the new moon, on a chidra tithi, in the Viṣṭi karaṇa and in a karaṇa called 'fixed', there will be no son.

विष्टिः स्थिरं वा करणं यदि स्यात् कृष्णं यजेत् पौरुषसूक्तमन्त्रैः । षष्ठ्यां गुहाराधनमत्र कार्यं यजेच्चतुर्थ्यां किल नागराजम्

If it be the Viṣṭi or a fixed karaṇa, one should worship Kṛṣṇa with the mantras of the Puruṣa-sūkta. On the 6th tithi the propitiation of Guha ⟨Skanda⟩ is to be performed here; on the 4th one should indeed worship the king of the nāgas.

रामायणस्य श्रवणं नवम्यां यद्यष्टमी चेच्छ्रवणव्रतं च । चतुर्दशी चेद्यदि रुद्रपूजा स्याद्द्वादशी चेत्स्मृतमन्नदानम्

rāmāyaṇasya śravaṇaṃ navamyāṃ yadyaṣṭamī cecchravaṇavrataṃ ca | caturdaśī cedyadi rudrapūjā syāddvādaśī cetsmṛtamannadānam

On the 9th, the hearing of the Rāmāyaṇa; if it be the 8th, the Śravaṇa-vrata; if the 14th, the worship of Rudra; and if the 12th, the giving of food is enjoined.

तृप्तिं पितॄणामिह पञ्चदश्यां कृष्णे दशम्याः परतोऽतियत्नात् । पक्षत्रिभागेष्वपि नागराजं स्कन्दं च सेवेत हरिं क्रमेण

tṛptiṃ pitṝṇāmiha pañcadaśyāṃ kṛṣṇe daśamyāḥ parato'tiyatnāt | pakṣatribhāgeṣvapi nāgarājaṃ skandaṃ ca seveta hariṃ krameṇa

On the 15th, the satisfaction of the pitṛs is to be made here; in the dark fortnight, beyond the 10th, with the greatest effort. In the three ⟨equal⟩ parts of the fortnight also, one should serve in order the king of the nāgas, Skanda, and Hari.

पुत्रेशो रिपुनीचगोऽस्तमयगो रिःफाष्टमारिस्थित स्तद्वत्पुत्रगृहस्थितोऽपि यदि वा दुःस्थानपस्तद्वशात् । पुत्राभावनिदानमेव कथयेत् तत्खेचराक्रान्तभप्रोक्तैर्दैवतभूरुहैरपि मृगैः सन्तानहेतुं वदेत्

The lord of the 5th in an enemy's sign or debilitated, or combust, or placed in the 12th, the 8th or the 6th; likewise ⟨such a graha⟩ standing in the house of sons; or, again, the lord of an evil house ⟨standing there⟩ — from that very ⟨placement⟩ one should declare the cause of the absence of sons. And by the deities, the trees and the animals declared for the sign occupied by that graha, one should state the cause bearing on progeny.

द्रोहाच्छंभुसुपर्णयोर्नहि सुतः शापात्पितॄणां रवेरिन्दोर्मातृसुवासिनीभगवतीकोपान्मनोदोषतः । स्वग्रामस्थितदेवतागुहरिपुज्ञात्युत्थदोषात्कुजे शापाद्वालकृताद्विलालवधतः श्रीविष्णुकोपाद्बुधे

⟨When the cause lies with⟩ the Sun: there is no son, through offence against Śaṃbhu and Suparṇa ⟨Garuḍa⟩ and through the curse of the pitṛs. With the Moon: through the wrath of the mother, of a suvāsinī and of Bhagavatī, and through a fault of the mind. With Mars: through a fault arisen from the deity established in one's own village, from Guha, from enemies and from kinsmen. With Mercury: through a curse uttered by a child, through the killing of a cat, and through the wrath of Śrī and Viṣṇu.

With Jupiter: through offence against what has come down by tradition, against the gods, against brāhmaṇas and against gurus, and through the felling of a fruit-laden tree. With Venus likewise: through the felling of a flowering tree, through a fault arisen from a virtuous woman or from a herd of cows, and through the desire of a yakṣī and the like. With Saturn: through the destruction of an aśvattha tree, through the anger of the lord of the pitṛs ⟨Yama⟩, and through pretas, piśācas and the like.

स्वर्भानौ सुतगे सुतेशसहिते सर्पस्य शापात्तथा केतौ ब्राह्मणशापतश्च गुलिके प्रेतोत्थशापं वदेत् । शुक्रेन्दू गुलिकान्वितौ यदि वधूगोहत्तिमाहुः सुते जीवो वाथ शिखी समान्दिरिह चेद्भूदेवहत्यासुतः

Rāhu in the 5th, or joined with the lord of the 5th — ⟨the cause is⟩ the curse of a serpent; likewise Ketu — the curse of a brāhmaṇa; with Gulika one should declare a curse arisen from a preta. If Venus and the Moon, joined with Gulika, are in the 5th, they call it the killing of a bride and of a cow; and if Jupiter, or else Ketu, is here together with Māndi, he is sonless through the killing of a brāhmaṇa.

एवं हि जन्मसमये बहुपूर्वजन्मकर्मार्जितं दुरितमस्य वदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः । तत्तद्ग्रहोक्तजपदानशुभक्रियाभिस्तद्दोषशान्तिमिह शंसतु पुत्रसिद्ध्यै

evaṃ hi janmasamaye bahupūrvajanmakarmārjitaṃ duritamasya vadanti tajjñāḥ | tattadgrahoktajapadānaśubhakriyābhistaddoṣaśāntimiha śaṃsatu putrasiddhyai

Thus, at the time of birth, those who know declare the sin he has amassed by the deeds of many former births. Let one here enjoin, by the japa, the gifts and the auspicious rites prescribed for each such graha, the appeasement of that fault, for the obtaining of a son.

सेतुस्नानं कीर्तनं सत्कथायाः पूजां शंभोः श्रीपतेः सद्व्रतानि । दानं श्राद्धं कर्जनागप्रतिष्ठां कुर्यादेतैः प्राप्नुयात्सन्ततिं सः

Bathing at Setu, the recitation of a holy narrative, the worship of Śaṃbhu and of Śrīpati ⟨Viṣṇu⟩, good vows, gift-giving, śrāddha, and the installation of a nāga ⟨image⟩ — let him perform these; by them he shall obtain progeny.

In the daśā and antardaśā of the lords of the ascendant, of the 7th and of the 5th, and of Jupiter, and of the graha that aspects the 5th and of the graha standing in the 5th — there is the obtaining of a son. Or when Jupiter goes to the sign of the lord of the 5th, or to the sign of Yamakaṇṭaka, or to the sign of its aṃśa, a son is obtained.

लग्नाधीशः पुत्रनाथेन योगं स्वोच्चे स्वर्क्षेचारगत्या समेति । पुत्रप्राप्तिः स्यात्तदा लग्ननाथः पुत्रर्क्षं वा याति धीशाप्तभं वा

lagnādhīśaḥ putranāthena yogaṃ svocce svarkṣecāragatyā sameti | putraprāptiḥ syāttadā lagnanāthaḥ putrarkṣaṃ vā yāti dhīśāptabhaṃ vā

When the lord of the ascendant, by its transit motion, comes into conjunction with the lord of the 5th in its own exaltation or in its own sign, then there is the obtaining of a son; or when the lord of the ascendant goes to the sign of the 5th, or to the sign occupied by the lord of the 5th.

विलग्नकामात्मजनायकानां योगात्समानीय दशां महाख्याम् । सुतस्थतद्वीक्षकतत्पतीनां दशापहारेषु सुतोद्भवः स्यात्

vilagnakāmātmajanāyakānāṃ yogātsamānīya daśāṃ mahākhyām | sutasthatadvīkṣakatatpatīnāṃ daśāpahāreṣu sutodbhavaḥ syāt

Having derived the mahādaśā from the combination of the lords of the ascendant, of the 7th and of the 5th, ⟨one should say that⟩ in the daśās and antardaśās of the graha standing in the 5th, of the graha aspecting it, and of their lords, the birth of a son will take place.

सुतपतिगुर्वोरथवा तद्युक्तराश्यंशकाधिपानां वा । बलसहितस्य दशायामपहारे वा सुतप्राप्तिः

sutapatigurvorathavā tadyuktarāśyaṃśakādhipānāṃ vā | balasahitasya daśāyāmapahāre vā sutaprāptiḥ

Or in the daśā or the antardaśā of the lord of the 5th and of Jupiter, or of the lords of the sign and the aṃśa joined with them — of whichever is possessed of strength — there is the obtaining of a son.

जीवे तु जीवात्मजनाथभांशकत्रिकोणगे पुत्रजनिर्भवेन्नृणाम् । अथान्यशास्त्रेण च जन्मकालतो निरूपयेत्सन्ततिलक्षणं बुधः

jīve tu jīvātmajanāthabhāṃśakatrikoṇage putrajanirbhavennṛṇām | athānyaśāstreṇa ca janmakālato nirūpayetsantatilakṣaṇaṃ budhaḥ

But when Jupiter goes to the sign or the aṃśa of Jupiter ⟨itself⟩ or of the lord of the 5th, or to a trikoṇa ⟨from them⟩, the birth of a son takes place for men. And the wise man should also determine the marks of progeny from the time of birth by ⟨the rules of⟩ other śāstras.

जन्मनक्षत्रनाथस्य प्रत्यर्यार्क्षाधिपस्य च स्फुटयोगं गते जीवे त्रिकोणे वा सुतोद्भवः

janmanakṣatranāthasya pratyaryārkṣādhipasya ca sphuṭayogaṃ gate jīve trikoṇe vā sutodbhavaḥ

When Jupiter goes to the ⟨point formed by⟩ the sum of the exact longitudes of the lord of the birth-nakṣatra and of the lord of the pratyari nakṣatra, or to a trikoṇa ⟨from it⟩, the birth of a son takes place.

निषेकलग्नाद्दिनपस्तृतीये राशौ यदा चारवशादुपैति । आधानलग्नादथवा त्रिकोणे रवौ यदा जन्म वदेन्नराणाम्

niṣekalagnāddinapastṛtīye rāśau yadā cāravaśādupaiti | ādhānalagnādathavā trikoṇe ravau yadā janma vadennarāṇām

When the lord of the day ⟨the Sun⟩, by force of ⟨his⟩ course, comes to the third rāśi from the niṣeka-lagna ⟨the ascendant of the seminal infusion⟩, or when the Sun ⟨stands⟩ in a trikoṇa ⟨a trine: the 1st, 5th or 9th⟩ from the ādhāna-lagna ⟨the ascendant of conception⟩ — then one should declare the birth of men.

आधानलग्नात्सुतभेशजन्म भाग्येऽपि वा पुण्यवशाच्च वाच्यम् । आधानलग्ने शुभदृष्टियोगे दीर्घायुरैश्वर्ययुतो नरः स्यात्

ādhānalagnātsutabheśajanma bhāgye'pi vā puṇyavaśācca vācyam | ādhānalagne śubhadṛṣṭiyoge dīrghāyuraiśvaryayuto naraḥ syāt

From the ādhāna-lagna, the birth ⟨is to be reckoned by⟩ the lord of the 5th house, or in the 9th (bhāgya) as well; and it is to be declared by force of ⟨accrued⟩ merit (puṇya). When the ādhāna-lagna is joined by benefics and aspected ⟨by them⟩, the man will be long-lived and endowed with lordship and wealth (aiśvarya).

तत्कालेन्दुद्वादशांशे मेषात्तावति भेऽपि वा । तस्मात्तावति भे वापि जन्मचन्द्रं वदेद्बुधः

tatkālendudvādaśāṃśe meṣāttāvati bhe'pi vā | tasmāttāvati bhe vāpi janmacandraṃ vadedbudhaḥ

In the dvādaśāṃśa ⟨twelfth-part⟩ held by the Moon at that ⟨conception⟩ moment, or in the sign that many ⟨places⟩ from Meṣa ⟨Aries⟩, or again in the sign that many from that one — ⟨there⟩ the wise one should declare the Moon of the birth.

प्रश्नात्मजस्वीकरणोपनीतिकन्याप्रदानाभिनवार्तवेषु । आधानकालेऽपि च जन्मतुल्यं फलं वदेज्जन्मविलग्नतश्च

praśnātmajasvīkaraṇopanītikanyāpradānābhinavārtaveṣu | ādhānakāle'pi ca janmatulyaṃ phalaṃ vadejjanmavilagnataśca

In ⟨the matters of⟩ a query (praśna), the taking of a son ⟨in adoption⟩, the upanayana ⟨investiture with the sacred thread⟩, the giving away of a daughter ⟨in marriage⟩, and a first menstruation — and at the time of ādhāna ⟨conception⟩ too — one should declare the fruit as equal to ⟨that of⟩ a nativity, and ⟨also⟩ from the birth ascendant.

जाते कुमारे सति पूर्वमार्यै रायुर्विचिन्त्यं हि ततः फलानि । विचारणीया गुणिनि स्थितेतद् गुणाः समस्ताः खलु लक्षणज्ञैः

jāte kumāre sati pūrvamāryai rāyurvicintyaṃ hi tataḥ phalāni | vicāraṇīyā guṇini sthitetad guṇāḥ samastāḥ khalu lakṣaṇajñaiḥ

When a child has been born, longevity is to be examined first by the noble ⟨teachers⟩, and only after that the ⟨other⟩ fruits. For all (samastāḥ) his qualities are indeed to be examined by those who know the marks ⟨only⟩ while the possessor of the qualities abides.

केचिद्यथाधानविलग्नमन्ये शीर्षोदयं भूपतनं हि केचित् । होराविदश्चेतनकाययोन्योर्वियोगकालं कथयन्ति लग्नम्

kecidyathādhānavilagnamanye śīrṣodayaṃ bhūpatanaṃ hi kecit | horāvidaścetanakāyayonyorviyogakālaṃ kathayanti lagnam

Some ⟨reckon the birth from⟩ the ascendant of conception (ādhāna), others from the head-rising ⟨moment⟩, and some indeed from the falling to the earth; ⟨but⟩ the knowers of horā declare the lagna ⟨to be taken⟩ at the moment of the separation of the living body and the womb.

आद्वादशाब्दान्नरयोनिजन्मनामायुष्कला निश्चयितुं न शक्यते मात्रा च पित्रा कृतपापकर्मणा बालग्रहैर्नाशमुपैति बालकः

ādvādaśābdānnarayonijanmanāmāyuṣkalā niścayituṃ na śakyate mātrā ca pitrā kṛtapāpakarmaṇā bālagrahairnāśamupaiti bālakaḥ

For those born of a human womb the measure of the life-span cannot be settled until twelve years ⟨are past⟩; through the sinful deeds committed by the mother and by the father, and through the bāla-grahas ⟨the seizers that afflict infants⟩, the child meets destruction.

आद्ये चतुष्के जननीकृताघैर्मध्ये च पित्रार्जितपापसङ्घैः । बालस्तदन्त्यासु चतुःशरत्सु स्वकीयदोषैः समुपैति नाशम्

ādye catuṣke jananīkṛtāghairmadhye ca pitrārjitapāpasaṅghaiḥ | bālastadantyāsu catuḥśaratsu svakīyadoṣaiḥ samupaiti nāśam

In the first four ⟨years⟩ through the sins wrought by the mother, in the middle ⟨four⟩ through the mass of sins earned by the father, and in the last four autumns through his own faults, the child meets destruction.

तद्दोषशान्त्यै प्रतिजन्मतारमाद्वादशाब्दं जपहोमपूर्वम् । आयुष्करं कर्म विधाय तातो बालं चिकित्सादिभिरेव रक्षेत्

taddoṣaśāntyai pratijanmatāramādvādaśābdaṃ japahomapūrvam | āyuṣkaraṃ karma vidhāya tāto bālaṃ cikitsādibhireva rakṣet

To appease those faults, at every ⟨return of the⟩ natal star up to the twelfth year, having had performed — with japa and homa first — the rite that confers life, the father should guard the child by medical treatment and the rest.

अष्टौ बालारिष्टमादौ नराणां योगारिष्टं प्राहुराविंशति स्यात् । अल्पं चाद्वात्रिंशतं मध्यमायुश्चासप्तत्याः पूर्णमायुः शतान्तम्

aṣṭau bālāriṣṭamādau narāṇāṃ yogāriṣṭaṃ prāhurāviṃśati syāt | alpaṃ cādvātriṃśataṃ madhyamāyuścāsaptatyāḥ pūrṇamāyuḥ śatāntam

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

नृणां वर्षशतं ह्यायुस्तस्मिंस्त्रेधा विभज्यते । अल्पं मध्यं दीर्घमायुरित्येतत्सर्वसम्मतम्

nṛṇāṃ varṣaśataṃ hyāyustasmiṃstredhā vibhajyate | alpaṃ madhyaṃ dīrghamāyurityetatsarvasammatam

The life of men is indeed a hundred years; within that it is divided in three ways — short, middling and long life: this is agreed by all.

मृत्युः स्याद्दिनमृत्युरुग्विषघटीकालेऽथ तिष्येऽम्बुभे ताताम्बासुतमातुलान्पदवशात्त्वाष्ट्रे च हन्यात्तथा । मूलर्क्षे पितृमातृवंशविलयं तस्यान्त्यपादे श्रियं सार्पे व्यस्तमिदं फलं न शुभसम्बन्धं विलग्नं यदि

mṛtyuḥ syāddinamṛtyurugviṣaghaṭīkāle'tha tiṣye'mbubhe tātāmbāsutamātulānpadavaśāttvāṣṭre ca hanyāttathā | mūlarkṣe pitṛmātṛvaṃśavilayaṃ tasyāntyapāde śriyaṃ sārpe vyastamidaṃ phalaṃ na śubhasambandhaṃ vilagnaṃ yadi

Death follows ⟨for one born⟩ in the time of the dina-mṛtyu, the disease and the poison ghaṭīs. Further, ⟨birth⟩ in Tiṣya ⟨Puṣya⟩, in the water-asterism, and in the Tvāṣṭra star ⟨Citrā⟩ slays — according to the pāda — the father, the mother, the son and the maternal uncle. In the Mūla asterism ⟨it brings⟩ the extinction of the father's and the mother's line, and in its last pāda ⟨the ruin⟩ of wealth. In the serpent-star ⟨Āśleṣā⟩ this fruit is reversed. ⟨All this holds⟩ if the ascendant has no connection with a benefic.

पापाप्तेक्षितराशिसन्धिजनने सद्यो विनाशं ध्रुवं गण्डान्ते पितृमातृहा शिशुमृतिर्जीवेद्यदि क्ष्मापतिः । जातः सन्धिचतुष्टयेऽप्यशुभसंयुक्तेक्षिते स्यान्मृतिर्मृत्योर्भागगते च सा सति विधौ केन्द्रेऽष्टमे वा मृतिः

pāpāptekṣitarāśisandhijanane sadyo vināśaṃ dhruvaṃ gaṇḍānte pitṛmātṛhā śiśumṛtirjīvedyadi kṣmāpatiḥ | jātaḥ sandhicatuṣṭaye'pyaśubhasaṃyuktekṣite syānmṛtirmṛtyorbhāgagate ca sā sati vidhau kendre'ṣṭame vā mṛtiḥ

If the birth falls at a junction of signs ⟨rāśi-sandhi⟩ occupied and aspected by malefics, immediate destruction is certain. ⟨Born⟩ in gaṇḍānta, ⟨the child⟩ is a slayer of father and mother, and the infant dies; if he does live, ⟨he becomes⟩ a lord of the earth. One born at any of the four junctions likewise, ⟨that place being⟩ joined with and aspected by inauspicious ⟨grahas⟩, meets death; and the same when ⟨the Moon⟩ has gone to the degree of death ⟨mṛtyu-bhāga⟩. With the Moon ⟨so afflicted⟩ in a kendra or in the eighth, death ⟨follows⟩.

चान्द्रं रूपं लोकशूरो वरज्ञः कुड्ये चित्रं भाग्यलोके मुखानाम् । मेने राज्यं मृत्युभागाः प्रदिष्टा मेषादीनां वर्णसंख्यैर्हिमांशोः

cāndraṃ rūpaṃ lokaśūro varajñaḥ kuḍye citraṃ bhāgyaloke mukhānām | mene rājyaṃ mṛtyubhāgāḥ pradiṣṭā meṣādīnāṃ varṇasaṃkhyairhimāṃśoḥ

By the letter-numbers ⟨of the words⟩ 'cāndraṃ rūpaṃ loka-śūro varajñaḥ kuḍye citraṃ bhāgyaloke mukhānām mene rājyam' are declared the mṛtyu-bhāgas ⟨fatal degrees⟩ of the Moon for the signs beginning with Meṣa.

दानं धेनो रुद्र रौद्री मुखेन भाग्या भानुर्गोत्र जाया नखेन । पुत्री नित्यं मृत्युभागाः क्रमेण मेषादीनां तेषु जातो गतायुः

dānaṃ dheno rudra raudrī mukhena bhāgyā bhānurgotra jāyā nakhena | putrī nityaṃ mṛtyubhāgāḥ krameṇa meṣādīnāṃ teṣu jāto gatāyuḥ

'dānaṃ dheno rudra raudrī mukhena bhāgyā bhānur gotra jāyā nakhena putrī nityam' — ⟨these are⟩ in order the mṛtyu-bhāgas ⟨fatal degrees⟩ for the signs beginning with Meṣa; those born in them are bereft of life.

रन्ध्रे केन्द्रेषु पापैरुदयनिधनगैर्वाथ लग्नास्तयोर्वा लग्नेऽब्जेवोग्रमध्ये व्ययमृतिरिपुगे दुर्बले शीतभानौ । क्षीणेन्दौ साशुभे वा तनुमदगुरुधीभाजि रन्ध्रास्तगोग्रैर्मृत्युः स्यादाशु केन्द्रे न यदि शुभखगाः सद्युतिर्वीक्षणं वा

⟨With⟩ malefics in the eighth and in the kendras; or with malefics occupying the ascendant and the eighth, or the ascendant and the seventh; or with the ascendant or the Moon standing between fierce ⟨malefics⟩; or with the cold-rayed Moon weak and gone to the twelfth, the eighth or the sixth; or with the waning Moon joined by an inauspicious ⟨graha⟩ and occupying the first, the seventh, the ninth or the fifth; and with fierce ⟨malefics⟩ in the eighth and the seventh — death comes swiftly, if benefic grahas are not in a kendra and there is neither their conjunction nor their aspect.

जन्मेशोऽथ विलग्नपो यदिभवेद्दुस्थोऽबलो वत्सरैस्तद्राशिप्रमितैश्च मारयति तन्मासैर्दृगाणाधिपः । अंशेशो दिवसैस्तथा यदि मृतिर्द्वित्र्यादियोगान्बहूनालोच्य प्रवदेत्सुताष्टमगतैः पापैररिष्टं शिशोः

If the lord of the birth-sign, or the lord of the ascendant, be ill-placed and without strength, he kills after years equal in number to that sign; the lord of the drekkāṇa after that many months, and the lord of the navāṃśa after that many days. If death ⟨is to be pronounced⟩, let one declare it only after weighing many combinations — two, three and more. Malefics gone to the fifth and the eighth ⟨bring⟩ ariṣṭa ⟨mortal affliction⟩ upon the infant.

लग्नेन्द्वोस्तदधीशयोरपि मिथो लग्नेशरन्ध्रेशयोर्द्रेक्काणात्स्वनवांशकादपि मिथस्तद्द्वादशांशात्क्रमात् । आयुर्दीर्घसमाल्पतां चरनगद्व्यङ्गैश्चरेऽथ स्थिरे ब्रूयाद्द्वन्द्वचरस्थिरैरुभयभैः स्थास्नुद्विदेहाटनैः

From the ⟨mutual disposition⟩ of the ascendant and the Moon, and of their two lords mutually, and of the lord of the ascendant and the lord of the eighth, and from the drekkāṇa and from the navāṃśa mutually, and from the dvādaśāṃśa, in order — one should declare length, evenness or shortness of life thus: when ⟨the first⟩ is in a movable sign, ⟨the second being⟩ in a movable, a fixed or a dual sign ⟨gives long, middling and short⟩; when in a fixed sign, ⟨the second being⟩ in a dual, a movable or a fixed sign; and when in a dual sign, ⟨the second being⟩ in a fixed, a dual or a movable sign.

लग्नाधीशशुभाः क्रमाद्बहुसमाल्पायूंषि केन्द्रादिगाः रन्ध्रेशोग्रखगास्तथा यदि गता व्यस्तं विदध्युः फलम् । जन्मेशाष्टमनाथयोरुदयपच्छिद्रेशयोर्मैत्रतो भास्वल्लग्नपयोश्चिरायुरहितेऽल्पायुः समे मध्यमः

The lord of the ascendant and the benefics, placed in the kendras, ⟨the paṇapharas and the āpoklimas⟩, give in order much, even and little life; and if the lord of the eighth and the fierce ⟨malefic⟩ grahas are so placed, they work the reverse fruit. From the friendship of the lord of the birth-sign and the lord of the eighth, of the lord of the ascendant and the lord of the eighth ⟨from it⟩, and of the Sun ⟨-sign's lord⟩ and the lord of the ascendant: ⟨if friendly⟩ long life; if hostile, short life; if neutral, middling.

लग्नाधिपो लग्ननवांशनायको जन्मेश्वरो जन्मनवांशनायकः । स्वस्वाष्टमेशाद्यदि चेद्बलान्विता दीर्घायुषः स्युर्विपरीतमन्यथ

lagnādhipo lagnanavāṃśanāyako janmeśvaro janmanavāṃśanāyakaḥ | svasvāṣṭameśādyadi cedbalānvitā dīrghāyuṣaḥ syurviparītamanyatha

If the lord of the ascendant, the lord of the ascendant's navāṃśa, the lord of the birth-sign and the lord of the birth-sign's navāṃśa are ⟨each⟩ endowed with strength ⟨greater⟩ than his own lord of the eighth, ⟨those born so⟩ are long-lived; otherwise the contrary.

लग्नेश्वरादतिबली निधनेश्वरोऽसौ केन्द्रस्थितो निधनरिःफगतैश्च पापैः । तस्यायुरल्पमथवा यदि मध्यमायुरुत्साहसंकटवशात्परमायुरेति

lagneśvarādatibalī nidhaneśvaro'sau kendrasthito nidhanariḥphagataiśca pāpaiḥ | tasyāyuralpamathavā yadi madhyamāyurutsāhasaṃkaṭavaśātparamāyureti

That one whose lord of the eighth is stronger than the lord of the ascendant and stands in a kendra, and ⟨whose⟩ eighth and twelfth are occupied by malefics — his life is short; or if ⟨the span be⟩ middling, he reaches the utmost span ⟨only⟩ by force of exertion amid peril.

नरोऽल्पायुर्योगे प्रथमभगणे नश्यति शनेर्द्वितीये मध्यायुर्यदि भवति दीर्घायुषि सति । तृतीये निर्याणं स्फुटजशनिगुर्वर्कहिमगून् दशां भुक्तिं कक्षामपि वदति निश्चित्य सुमतिः

A man ⟨born⟩ under a combination for short life perishes in Saturn's first revolution; in the second, if his span be middling; and if he be long-lived, his departure ⟨falls⟩ in the third. The right-minded ⟨astrologer⟩, having accurately determined Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, the Sun and the Moon, ascertains and declares the daśā, the bhukti, and the kakṣā ⟨the sub-period⟩ as well.

सपापो लग्नेशो रविहतरुचिर्नीचरिपुगो यदा दुःस्थानेषु स्थितिमुपगतो गोचरवशात् । तनौ वा तद्योगो यदि निधनमाहुस्तनुभृतां नवांशाद्द्रेक्काणाच्छिशिरकरलग्नादपि वदेत्

When the lord of the ascendant is with a malefic, his lustre struck down by the Sun, gone to debilitation or to an enemy's ⟨sign⟩, and by force of transit has come to occupy the evil houses; or if that combination be in the first house — they declare death for embodied beings. One should speak ⟨in the same way⟩ from the navāṃśa, from the drekkāṇa, and from the Moon-ascendant as well.

शशी तदारूढगृहाधिपश्च लग्नाधिनाथश्च यदा त्रयोऽमी । गुणाधिकाः सद्ग्रहदृष्टियुक्ता गुणाधिकं तं कथयन्ति कालम्

śaśī tadārūḍhagṛhādhipaśca lagnādhināthaśca yadā trayo'mī | guṇādhikāḥ sadgrahadṛṣṭiyuktā guṇādhikaṃ taṃ kathayanti kālam

The Moon, the lord of the house it has mounted, and the lord of the ascendant — when these three abound in excellence and are aspected by and joined with good grahas, ⟨the wise⟩ declare that ⟨life-⟩span to be abounding in excellence.

लग्नाधिपोऽतिबलवानशुभैरदृष्टः केन्द्रस्थितः शुभखगैरवलोक्यमानः । मृत्युं विहाय विदधाति स दीर्घमायुः सार्द्धं गुणैर्बहुभिरूर्जितराजलक्ष्म्या

lagnādhipo'tibalavānaśubhairadṛṣṭaḥ kendrasthitaḥ śubhakhagairavalokyamānaḥ | mṛtyuṃ vihāya vidadhāti sa dīrghamāyuḥ sārddhaṃ guṇairbahubhirūrjitarājalakṣmyā

The lord of the ascendant, exceedingly strong, unaspected by malefics, standing in a kendra and looked upon by benefic grahas — he, setting death aside, bestows long life together with many excellences and with mighty royal fortune.

सर्वातिशाय्यतिबलः स्फुरदंशुजालो लग्ने स्थितः प्रशमयेत् सुरराजमन्त्री एको बहूनि दुरितानि सुदुस्तराणि भक्त्या प्रयुक्त इव चक्रधरे प्रणामः

sarvātiśāyyatibalaḥ sphuradaṃśujālo lagne sthitaḥ praśamayet surarājamantrī eko bahūni duritāni sudustarāṇi bhaktyā prayukta iva cakradhare praṇāmaḥ

Surpassing all, exceedingly strong, his net of rays ablaze, the counsellor of the king of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ seated in the ascendant quells, alone, many evils that are most hard to cross — as a single obeisance offered with devotion to the Discus-bearer ⟨quells many sins⟩.

मूर्तेस्त्रिकोणागमकण्टकेषु रवीन्दुजीवर्क्षनवांशसंस्थः । सुकर्मकृन्नित्यमशेषदोषान्मुष्णाति वर्द्धिष्णुरनुष्णरश्मिः

mūrtestrikoṇāgamakaṇṭakeṣu ravīndujīvarkṣanavāṃśasaṃsthaḥ | sukarmakṛnnityamaśeṣadoṣānmuṣṇāti varddhiṣṇuranuṣṇaraśmiḥ

Standing in the trikoṇas, the eleventh and the kendras from the body ⟨the ascendant⟩, and placed in the sign or navāṃśa of the Sun, the Moon or Jupiter, the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩, waxing, ⟨makes the native⟩ a doer of good deeds and constantly steals away every fault.

केन्द्रत्रिकोणनिधनेषु न यस्य पापा लग्नाधिपः सुरगुरुश्च चतुष्टयस्थौ । भुक्त्वा सुखानि विविधानि सुपुण्यकर्मा जीवेच्च वत्सरशतं स विमुक्तरोगः

He in whose ⟨chart⟩ malefics are not in the kendras, the trikoṇas and the eighth, and whose lord of the ascendant and Jupiter, the preceptor of the gods, stand in the angles — he, a doer of great merit, having enjoyed comforts of many kinds, lives a hundred years, released from disease.

श्रीपत्युदीरितदशाभिरथाष्टवर्गात् यत्कालचक्रदशयोडुदशाप्रकारात् । सम्यक्स्फुटाभिहतया क्रिययाप्तवाक्यादायुर्बुधो वदतु भूरिपरीक्षया च

By the daśās declared by Śrīpati, by the aṣṭakavarga, by the kālacakra daśā and by the method of the nakṣatra ⟨uḍu⟩ daśā, by a computation worked upon rightly determined ⟨positions⟩, and from the word of the authorities — let the learned man declare the life-span, and ⟨that⟩ with much testing.

रोगस्य चिन्तामपि रोगभावस्थितैर्ग्रहैर्वा व्ययमृत्युसंस्थैः । रोगेश्वरेणापि तदन्वितैर्वा द्वित्र्यादिसंवादवशाद्वदन्तु

rogasya cintāmapi rogabhāvasthitairgrahairvā vyayamṛtyusaṃsthaiḥ | rogeśvareṇāpi tadanvitairvā dvitryādisaṃvādavaśādvadantu

The consideration of disease too ⟨is to be made⟩ from the grahas standing in the house of disease ⟨the 6th⟩, or from those posted in the 12th and the 8th, or from the lord of the 6th, or from the grahas joined with it; let ⟨the astrologers⟩ pronounce ⟨the verdict⟩ on the strength of the agreement of two, three or more ⟨of these indications⟩.

पित्तोष्णज्वरतापदेहतपनापस्मारहृत्क्रोडजव्याधीन्वक्ति रविर्दृगार्त्यरिभयं त्वग्दोषमस्थिस्रुतिम् । काष्ठाग्न्यस्त्रविषार्तिदारतनयव्यापच्चतुष्पाद्भयं चोरक्ष्मापतिधर्मदेवफणभृद्भूतेशभूतं भयम्

The Sun declares diseases of bile, burning fever, feverish heat of the body, epilepsy, and ailments arising in the heart and the belly; pain in the eyes, fear from enemies, skin disease, and discharge ⟨decay⟩ of the bones; distress from wood, fire, weapons and poison; calamity to wife and children; danger from four-footed creatures; and fear proceeding from thieves, the king, the god of dharma, serpents and Bhūteśa ⟨Śiva⟩.

The Moon declares drowsiness, sloth, phlegm, dysentery, boils, and cold fever ⟨ague⟩; hurt from horned and from water-born creatures, weakness of the digestive fire, loss of appetite, suffering from women, and jaundice; and one should declare quiescence of mind, disorder of the blood, fear from water and from the Bālagraha ⟨the seizer of children⟩, and fear from Durgā, kinnaras, the god of dharma, serpents and yakṣīs.

Mars, the son of the Earth, brings about thirst, disorder of the blood, bilious fever, distress from fire, poison and weapons, leprosy and diseases of the eyes; gulma ⟨abdominal tumour⟩, epilepsy, injury to the marrow, roughness ⟨of the skin⟩, burning heat, scabies and the breaking of the body; affliction from kings, enemies and thieves; fighting with brothers, sons, friends and foes; fear from rākṣasas, gandharvas and dreadful spirits; and disease of the upper limbs.

Mercury declares giddiness, foul speech, diseases arising in the eye, the throat and the nose; fever born of bile, phlegm and wind ⟨together⟩, poison as well, skin disease and pāṇḍu ⟨anaemic⟩ complaints; bad dreams, eczema, fire and a fall, harshness, bondage and exhaustion; and affliction also from gandharvas and from the spirits that haunt the earth and mansions.

गुल्मान्त्रज्वरशोकमोहकफजान् श्रोत्रार्तिमोहामयान् देवस्थाननिधिप्रपीडनमहीदेवेशशापोद्भवम् । रोगं किन्नरयक्षदेवफणभृद्विद्याधराद्युद्भवं जीवः सूचयति स्वयं बुधगुरूत्कृष्टापचारोद्भवम्

Jupiter indicates gulma, disorder of the bowels, fever, grief, delusion and complaints born of phlegm; ear-ache and swooning; disease arising from the plundering of a temple's treasure and from the curse of brāhmaṇas ⟨the earth-gods⟩ and of the Lord; disease arising from kinnaras, yakṣas, gods, serpents, vidyādharas and the like; and he himself ⟨indicates⟩ that which arises from offence against the learned, against teachers and against one's superiors.

पाण्डुश्लेष्ममरुत्प्रकोपनयनव्यापत्प्रमेहामयान् गुह्यास्यामयमूत्रकृच्छ्रमदनव्यापत्तिशुक्लस्रुतिम् । वारस्त्रीकृतदेहकान्तिविहतिं शोषामयं योगिनीयक्षीमातृगणाद्भयं प्रियसुहृद्भङ्गं सितः सूचयेत्

Venus indicates pāṇḍu ⟨anaemia⟩, aggravation of phlegm and wind, ruin of the eyes and urinary ⟨diabetic⟩ diseases; disease of the private parts and the mouth, painful urination, ruin of virility and the discharge of semen; loss of the body's lustre brought on by courtesans and other women; consumption; fear from yoginīs, yakṣīs and the band of Mothers; and the breaking of ⟨ties with⟩ a dear friend.

वातश्लेष्मविकारपादविहतिं चापत्तितन्द्राश्रमान् भ्रान्तिं कुक्षिरुगन्तरुष्णभृतकध्वंसं च पार्श्वहतिम् । भार्यापुत्रविपत्तिमङ्गविहतिं हृत्तापमर्कात्मजो वृक्षाश्मक्षतिमाह कश्मलगणैः पीडां पिशाचादिभिः

Saturn, the son of the Sun, declares disorders of wind and phlegm, injury to the feet, misfortune, torpor and weariness; giddiness, pain in the belly, internal heat, the ruin of servants, and pain in the sides; calamity to wife and sons, injury to the limbs, burning of the heart; hurt from trees and stones; and affliction from the foul hordes, the piśācas and the rest.

स्वर्भानुर्हृदि तापकुष्ठविमतिव्याधिं विषं कृत्रिमं पादार्तिं च पिशाचपन्नगभयं भार्यातनूजापदम् । ब्रह्मक्षत्रविरोधशत्रुजभयं केतुस्तु संसूचयेत् प्रेतोत्थं च भयं विषं च गुलिको देहार्तिमाशौचजम्

Rāhu ⟨declares⟩ burning in the heart, leprosy, derangement of the mind, disease, artificial poison, pain in the feet, fear from piśācas and serpents, and calamity to wife and children. Ketu, for his part, indicates fear born of conflict with brāhmaṇas and kṣatriyas, and fear from enemies; and Gulika ⟨indicates⟩ fear arising from the departed, poison, and bodily suffering born of ritual impurity.

मन्दारान्वितवीक्षिते व्ययधने चन्द्रारुणौ चाक्षिरुक् शौर्यायाङ्गिरसो यमार सहिता दृष्टा यदि श्रोत्ररुक् । सोग्रे पञ्चमभे भवेदुदररुग्रन्ध्रारिनाथान्विते तद्वत्सप्तमनैधने सगुदरुक्छुक्रे च गुह्यामयः

If the Moon and the Sun stand in the 12th and the 2nd ⟨respectively⟩, joined with or aspected by Saturn and Mars, there is disease of the eyes. If Āṅgirasa ⟨Jupiter⟩ stands in the 3rd or the 11th ⟨śaurya, āya⟩, joined with or aspected by Saturn and Mars, there is disease of the ear. The same ⟨combination⟩, next, falling in the 5th house together with the lords of the 8th and the 6th, gives pain in the belly; and likewise in the 7th and the 8th, disease of the anus — and when Venus ⟨is so placed⟩, disease of the genitals.

षष्ठेऽर्केऽप्यथवाष्टमे ज्वरभयं भौमे च केतौ व्रणं शुक्रे गुह्यरुजं क्षयं सुरगुरौ मन्दे च वातामयम् । राहौ भौमनिरीक्षिते च पिलकां सेन्दौ शनौ गुल्मजं क्षीणेन्दौ जलभेषु पापसहिते तत्स्थेऽम्बुरोगं क्षयम्

The Sun in the 6th, or else in the 8th, ⟨gives⟩ fear of fever; Mars and Ketu ⟨there⟩, a sore; Venus, disease of the genitals; Jupiter, the guru of the gods, consumption; and Saturn, disease of wind. Rāhu aspected by Mars ⟨gives⟩ pustules; Saturn with the Moon, gulma. When the waning Moon, joined with a malefic, stands in a watery sign placed there, ⟨declare⟩ disease of the waters and consumption.

जातो गच्छति येन केन मरणं वक्ष्येऽथ तत्कारणं रन्ध्रस्थैस्तदवेक्षर्कैर्बलवता तस्योक्तरोगैर्मृतिः । रन्ध्रर्क्षोक्तरुजाथवा मृतपतिप्राप्तर्क्षदोषेण वा रन्ध्रेशेन खरत्रिभागपतिना मृत्युं वदेन्निश्चितम्

Now I shall tell by what means the native goes to his death, and the cause of it. Death comes through the diseases stated ⟨above⟩ for the strongest among the grahas standing in the 8th house or aspecting it; or through the disease declared for the sign of the 8th; or through the defect of the sign occupied by the lord of death ⟨the 8th⟩. From the lord of the 8th, and from the lord of the khara drekkāṇa ⟨the 22nd decanate⟩, one should pronounce death with certainty.

ग्रहेण युक्ते निधने तदुक्तरोगैर्मृतिर्वाऽथ तदीक्षकस्य ग्रहैर्विमुक्ते निधनेऽथ तस्य राशेः स्वभावोदितदोषजाता

graheṇa yukte nidhane taduktarogairmṛtirvā'tha tadīkṣakasya grahairvimukte nidhane'tha tasya rāśeḥ svabhāvoditadoṣajātā

When the 8th house is occupied by a graha, death is through the diseases stated for that graha; or else through those of the graha that aspects it. But when the 8th is free of grahas, ⟨death⟩ arises from the defect declared as natural to that sign.

अग्न्युष्णज्वरपित्तशस्त्रजमिनश्चन्द्रो विषूच्यम्बुरुग्यक्ष्मादि क्षितिजोऽसृजा च दहनक्षुद्राभिचारायुधैः । पाण्ड्वादि भ्रमजं बुधो गुरुरनायासेन मृत्युं कफात् स्त्रीसङ्गोत्थरुजं कविस्तु मरुता वा संनिपातैः शनि

agnyuṣṇajvarapittaśastrajaminaścandro viṣūcyamburugyakṣmādi kṣitijo'sṛjā ca dahanakṣudrābhicārāyudhaiḥ | pāṇḍvādi bhramajaṃ budho gururanāyāsena mṛtyuṃ kaphāt strīsaṅgottharujaṃ kavistu marutā vā saṃnipātaiḥ śani

The Sun ⟨gives death⟩ from fire, heat, fever, bile and weapons; the Moon from cholera, watery disease, consumption and the like; Mars from the blood, and by fire, by mean sorcery and by weapons; Mercury from pāṇḍu ⟨anaemia⟩ and the rest and from vertigo; Jupiter gives death without pain, from phlegm; Venus, disease arising from intercourse with women; and Saturn, from wind, or from sannipāta ⟨the concurrence of the three humours⟩.

कुष्ठेन वा कृत्रिमभक्षणाद्वा राहुर्विषाद्वाथ मसूरिकाद्यैः । कुर्याच्छिखी दुर्मरणं नराणां रिपोर्विरोधादपि कीटकाद्यैः

kuṣṭhena vā kṛtrimabhakṣaṇādvā rāhurviṣādvātha masūrikādyaiḥ | kuryācchikhī durmaraṇaṃ narāṇāṃ riporvirodhādapi kīṭakādyaiḥ

Rāhu ⟨brings death⟩ by leprosy, or by eating something adulterated, or by poison, or by smallpox and such diseases. Ketu brings men an evil death, and also through the enmity of a foe, and by insects and the like.

लग्नादष्टमराशेः स्वभावदोषोद्भवं वदेन्मृत्युम् । निधनेशस्य नवांशस्थितराशिनिमित्तदोषजनितं वा

lagnādaṣṭamarāśeḥ svabhāvadoṣodbhavaṃ vadenmṛtyum | nidhaneśasya navāṃśasthitarāśinimittadoṣajanitaṃ vā

One should declare death as arising from the defect natural to the sign that is the 8th from the ascendant (lagna); or as produced by the defect belonging to the sign in which the navāṃśa of the lord of the 8th falls.

पैत्त्यज्वरोष्णैर्जठराग्निनाजे वृषे त्रिदोषैर्दहनाच्च शस्त्रात् । युग्मे तु कालश्वसनोष्णशूलैरुन्मादवातारुचिभिः कुलीरे

paittyajvaroṣṇairjaṭharāgnināje vṛṣe tridoṣairdahanācca śastrāt | yugme tu kālaśvasanoṣṇaśūlairunmādavātārucibhiḥ kulīre

In Aries ⟨death comes⟩ by bilious fever and heat, and by the fire of the stomach; in Taurus by the three humours, by burning and by a weapon; in Gemini by kāla ⟨taken as kāsa, cough⟩, laboured breathing, heat and colic; in Cancer by insanity, wind ⟨disorder⟩ and loss of appetite.

मृगज्वरस्फोटजशत्रुजं हरौ स्त्रियां स्त्रियागुह्यरुजा प्रपातनात् । तुलाधरे धीज्वरसंनिपातजं प्लीहालिपाण्डुग्रहणीरुजालिनि

mṛgajvarasphoṭajaśatrujaṃ harau striyāṃ striyāguhyarujā prapātanāt | tulādhare dhījvarasaṃnipātajaṃ plīhālipāṇḍugrahaṇīrujālini

In Leo ⟨death arises⟩ from wild beasts, fever, eruptions and enemies; in Virgo, from a woman, from disease of the genitals, and from a fall; in Libra, from fever affecting the mind ⟨delirium⟩ and from sannipāta; in Scorpio, from disease of the spleen, from pāṇḍu ⟨anaemia⟩ and from grahaṇī ⟨chronic dysentery⟩.

वृक्षाम्बुकाष्ठायुधजं हयाङ्गे मृगे तु शूलारुचिधीभ्रमाद्यैः । कुम्भे तु कासज्वरयक्ष्मरोगैर्जले विपद्वा जलरोगतोऽन्त्ये

vṛkṣāmbukāṣṭhāyudhajaṃ hayāṅge mṛge tu śūlārucidhībhramādyaiḥ | kumbhe tu kāsajvarayakṣmarogairjale vipadvā jalarogato'ntye

In Sagittarius ⟨death comes⟩ from a tree, from water, from wood and from a weapon; in Capricorn from colic, loss of appetite, derangement of the mind and the like; in Aquarius by cough, fever and consumption; and in the last sign ⟨Pisces⟩ by calamity in water, or from a watery disease.

पापर्क्षयुक्ते निधने सपापे शस्त्रानलव्याघ्रभुजङ्गपीडा । अन्योन्यदृष्टौ द्व्यशुभौ सकेन्द्रौ कोपात्प्रभोः शस्त्रविषाग्निजैर्वा

pāparkṣayukte nidhane sapāpe śastrānalavyāghrabhujaṅgapīḍā | anyonyadṛṣṭau dvyaśubhau sakendrau kopātprabhoḥ śastraviṣāgnijairvā

When the 8th house falls in a malefic's sign and is occupied by a malefic, ⟨there is⟩ affliction from weapons, fire, tigers and serpents. If two malefics aspect one another and stand in kendras, ⟨death comes⟩ from the wrath of the sovereign, or by weapons, poison and fire.

सौम्यांशके सौम्यगृहेऽथ सौम्यसम्बन्धगे वा क्षयभे क्षयेशे । अक्लेशजातं मरणं नराणां व्यस्ते तदा क्रूरमृतिं वदन्ति

saumyāṃśake saumyagṛhe'tha saumyasambandhage vā kṣayabhe kṣayeśe | akleśajātaṃ maraṇaṃ narāṇāṃ vyaste tadā krūramṛtiṃ vadanti

When the 8th house and the lord of the 8th are in a benefic's navāṃśa, in a benefic's house, or in association with a benefic, the death of men is free from pain; when it is the reverse, they declare a cruel death.

स्वोच्चे स्वमित्रे सति सौम्यवर्गे व्ययाधिपे चोर्ध्वगतिं ससौम्ये । विपर्ययेऽधोगतिमेव केचिदूर्ध्वास्यशीर्षोदयराशिभेदात्

svocce svamitre sati saumyavarge vyayādhipe cordhvagatiṃ sasaumye | viparyaye'dhogatimeva kecidūrdhvāsyaśīrṣodayarāśibhedāt

When the lord of the 12th is in its own exaltation, in a friend's ⟨sign⟩, or in a benefic's varga, and is joined with a benefic, the ⟨soul's⟩ course is upward; in the contrary case, the course is downward alone. Some ⟨determine it⟩ by the distinction of the signs that rise face-up ⟨ūrdhvāsya⟩ and head-first ⟨śīrṣodaya⟩ ⟨from the rest⟩.

कैलासं रविशीतगू भृगुसुतः स्वर्गं महीजो महीं वैकुण्ठं शशिजो यमो यमपुरं सद्ब्रह्मलोकं गुरुः । द्वीपान् भोगिवरः शिखी तु निरयं सम्प्रापयेत् प्राणिनः सम्बन्धाद्व्ययनायकस्य कथयेत्तत्रान्त्यराश्यंशतः

kailāsaṃ raviśītagū bhṛgusutaḥ svargaṃ mahījo mahīṃ vaikuṇṭhaṃ śaśijo yamo yamapuraṃ sadbrahmalokaṃ guruḥ | dvīpān bhogivaraḥ śikhī tu nirayaṃ samprāpayet prāṇinaḥ sambandhādvyayanāyakasya kathayettatrāntyarāśyaṃśataḥ

The Sun and the Moon lead the creature to Kailāsa; Venus to heaven; Mars to the earth; Mercury to Vaikuṇṭha; Saturn ⟨Yama⟩ to the city of Yama; Jupiter to the true Brahmaloka; Rāhu, the best of serpents, to the ⟨distant⟩ islands; and Ketu to hell. ⟨Which of them applies is told⟩ from the connection of the lord of the 12th; and there one should declare it from the sign and the navāṃśa of the 12th house.

धर्मेश्वरेणैव हि पूर्वजन्म वृत्तं भविष्यज्जननं सुतेशात् । तदीशजातिं तदधिष्ठितर्क्ष दिशं हि तत्रैव तदीशदेशम्

dharmeśvareṇaiva hi pūrvajanma vṛttaṃ bhaviṣyajjananaṃ suteśāt | tadīśajātiṃ tadadhiṣṭhitarkṣa diśaṃ hi tatraiva tadīśadeśam

By the lord of the 9th alone ⟨is known⟩ what passed in the previous birth, and the birth to come by the lord of the 5th. ⟨One should tell⟩ the caste from the lord of that ⟨sign⟩, the quarter from the sign which that ⟨lord⟩ occupies, and in that very ⟨quarter⟩ the country from the lord of that ⟨sign⟩.

स्वोच्चे तदीशे सति देवभूमिं द्वीपान्तरं नीचरिपुस्थलस्थे । स्वर्क्षे सुहृद्भे समभे स्थिते वा सम्प्राप्नुयाद्भारतवर्षमेव

svocce tadīśe sati devabhūmiṃ dvīpāntaraṃ nīcaripusthalasthe | svarkṣe suhṛdbhe samabhe sthite vā samprāpnuyādbhāratavarṣameva

If that lord is in its own exaltation, ⟨the birth is⟩ in the land of the gods; if it stands debilitated or in an enemy's place, in another continent; but if it is placed in its own sign, a friend's sign, or a neutral sign, he attains Bhāratavarṣa itself.

आर्यावर्तं गीष्पतेः पुण्यनद्यः काव्येन्द्वोश्च ज्ञस्य पुण्यस्थलानि । पङ्गोर्निन्द्या म्लेच्छभूस्तीक्ष्णभानोः शैलारण्यं कीकटं भूमिजस्य

āryāvartaṃ gīṣpateḥ puṇyanadyaḥ kāvyendvośca jñasya puṇyasthalāni | paṅgornindyā mlecchabhūstīkṣṇabhānoḥ śailāraṇyaṃ kīkaṭaṃ bhūmijasya

⟨From⟩ Jupiter, Āryāvarta; from Venus and the Moon, holy rivers; from Mercury, holy places; from Saturn ⟨the lame one⟩, a contemptible land; from the Sun ⟨the fierce-rayed⟩, the land of the mlecchas; and from Mars, mountains and forests and Kīkaṭa ⟨Magadha⟩.

स्थिरे स्थिरांशाधिगतः सपापः पृष्ठोदयेऽधोमुखभे च संस्थः । तदीश्वरो वृक्षलतादिजन्म स्यादन्यथाजीवयुतः शरीरी

sthire sthirāṃśādhigataḥ sapāpaḥ pṛṣṭhodaye'dhomukhabhe ca saṃsthaḥ | tadīśvaro vṛkṣalatādijanma syādanyathājīvayutaḥ śarīrī

If ⟨that lord⟩ is in a fixed sign, has reached the navāṃśa of a fixed sign, is with a malefic, and stands in a back-rising or a downward-facing sign, then that lord ⟨gives⟩ birth as a tree, a creeper or the like; otherwise, joined with jīva ⟨Jupiter⟩, ⟨the birth is⟩ as an embodied ⟨sentient⟩ being.

लग्नेशितुः स्वोच्चसुहृत्स्वगेहान् तदीश्वरो याति मनुष्यजन्म । समे मृगाः स्युर्विहगाः परस्मिन् द्रेक्काणरूपैरपि चिन्तनीयम्

lagneśituḥ svoccasuhṛtsvagehān tadīśvaro yāti manuṣyajanma | same mṛgāḥ syurvihagāḥ parasmin drekkāṇarūpairapi cintanīyam

If the lord of that ⟨sign⟩ goes to the exaltation, the friendly house, or the own house of the lord of the ascendant (lagna), the birth is human; in a neutral ⟨sign⟩ they will be beasts, and in another's ⟨sign⟩, birds. It is to be considered from the forms of the drekkāṇas as well.

ताधेकराशौ जननं स्वदेशे तौ तुल्यवीर्यौ यदि तुल्यजातौ । वर्णो गुणस्तस्य खगस्य तुल्यः संज्ञोदितैरेव वदेत्समस्तम्

tādhekarāśau jananaṃ svadeśe tau tulyavīryau yadi tulyajātau | varṇo guṇastasya khagasya tulyaḥ saṃjñoditaireva vadetsamastam

If the two ⟨lords⟩ are in one and the same sign, the birth is in one's own country. If those two are of equal strength, ⟨the births⟩ are of like kind; the varṇa and the quality are those of that graha; and one should declare the whole from what is stated by their ⟨technical⟩ names.

भावाह् सर्वे शुभपतियुता वीक्षिता वा शुभेशैस्तत्तद्भावाः सकलफलदाः पापदृग्योगहीनाः । पापाः सर्वे भवनपतयश्चेदिहाहुस्तथैव खेटैः सर्वैः शुभफलमिडं नीचमूढारिहीनैः

bhāvāh sarve śubhapatiyutā vīkṣitā vā śubheśaistattadbhāvāḥ sakalaphaladāḥ pāpadṛgyogahīnāḥ | pāpāḥ sarve bhavanapatayaścedihāhustathaiva kheṭaiḥ sarvaiḥ śubhaphalamiḍaṃ nīcamūḍhārihīnaiḥ

All the bhāvas that are joined with benefics — or with their own lords — or aspected by benefics ⟨and by those lords⟩, and are free from the aspect and the conjunction of malefics, become givers of the whole fruit of those several bhāvas. And should all the lords of the houses here be malefics, they declare it just the same: this auspicious result ⟨follows⟩ when all the grahas are free from debilitation, from combustion, and from an enemy's ⟨sign⟩.

तत्तद्भावात् त्रिकोणे स्वसुखमदनभे चास्पदे सौम्ययुक्ते पापानां दृष्टिहीने भवनपसहिते पापखेटैरयुक्ते भावानां पुष्टिमाहुः सकलशुभकरीमन्यथा चेत्प्रणाशम् । मिश्रं मिश्रैर्ग्रहेन्द्रैः सकलमपि तथा मूर्तिभावादिकानाम्

tattadbhāvāt trikoṇe svasukhamadanabhe cāspade saumyayukte pāpānāṃ dṛṣṭihīne bhavanapasahite pāpakheṭairayukte bhāvānāṃ puṣṭimāhuḥ sakalaśubhakarīmanyathā cetpraṇāśam | miśraṃ miśrairgrahendraiḥ sakalamapi tathā mūrtibhāvādikānām

When, ⟨reckoned⟩ from each bhāva, the trikoṇas ⟨the 5th and 9th⟩, and its own ⟨sign⟩, the sign of comfort ⟨the 4th⟩, the sign of love ⟨the 7th⟩ and the station ⟨the 10th⟩ are joined with benefics, destitute of the aspect of malefics, accompanied by the lord of that house and unjoined with malefic grahas, they declare the nourishing of those bhāvas, productive of every good; and if it be otherwise, their utter ruin. With mixed grahas ⟨the result is⟩ mixed. So is it for the whole ⟨series⟩, of the bhāva of the body ⟨the lagna⟩ and the rest.

नाशस्थानगतो दिवाकरकरैर्लुप्तस्तु यद्भावपो नीचारातिगृहं गतो यदि भवेत्सौम्यैरयुक्तेक्षितः । तद्भावस्य विनाशनं वितनुते तादृग्विधोऽन्योऽस्ति चेत् तद्भावोऽपि फलप्रदो न हि शुभश्चेन्नाशमुग्रग्रहः

nāśasthānagato divākarakarairluptastu yadbhāvapo nīcārātigṛhaṃ gato yadi bhavetsaumyairayuktekṣitaḥ | tadbhāvasya vināśanaṃ vitanute tādṛgvidho'nyo'sti cet tadbhāvo'pi phalaprado na hi śubhaścennāśamugragrahaḥ

The lord of whatever bhāva has gone to a place of destruction, or is blotted out by the rays of the day-maker ⟨the Sun⟩, or has gone to a sign of debilitation or of an enemy, and is neither joined with nor aspected by benefics — he works the destruction of that bhāva. If there be another ⟨afflicter⟩ of the like kind, that bhāva too is not a giver of fruit; ⟨but⟩ a fierce graha ⟨works⟩ no ruin if he is auspicious.

लग्नादिभावाद्रिपुरन्ध्ररिःफे पापग्रहास्तद्भवनादिनाशम् । सौम्यास्तु नात्यन्तफलप्रदाः स्युर्भावादिकानां फलमेवमाहुः

lagnādibhāvādripurandhrariḥphe pāpagrahāstadbhavanādināśam | saumyāstu nātyantaphalapradāḥ syurbhāvādikānāṃ phalamevamāhuḥ

Malefic grahas standing in the enemy ⟨6th⟩, the aperture ⟨8th⟩ and the riḥpha ⟨12th⟩ from the lagna and from the ⟨other⟩ bhāvas ⟨bring about⟩ the destruction of that house and the rest; benefics, however, would not be exceedingly fruit-giving ⟨there⟩. Thus have they declared the results of the bhāvas and the rest.

यद्भावनाथो रिपुरन्ध्ररिःफे दुःस्थानपो यद्भवनस्थितो वा । तद्भावनाशं कथयन्ति तज्ज्ञाः शुभेक्षितस्तद्भवनस्य सौख्यम्

yadbhāvanātho ripurandhrariḥphe duḥsthānapo yadbhavanasthito vā | tadbhāvanāśaṃ kathayanti tajjñāḥ śubhekṣitastadbhavanasya saukhyam

Whichever bhāva's lord stands in the enemy ⟨6th⟩, the aperture ⟨8th⟩ or the riḥpha ⟨12th⟩, or ⟨whichever bhāva⟩ the lord of an evil house occupies — the knowers of it declare the destruction of that bhāva. ⟨But⟩ aspected by a benefic, ⟨there is⟩ ease for that house.

भावाधीशे च भाबे सति बलरहिते च ग्रहे कारकाख्ये पापान्तःस्थे च पापैररिभिरपि समेतेक्षिते नान्यखेटैः । पापैस्तद्बन्धुमृत्युव्ययभवनगतैस्तत्त्रिकोणस्थितैर्वा वाच्या तद्भावहानिः स्फुटमिह भवति द्वित्रिसंवादभावात्

When the lord of the bhāva, the bhāva itself, and the graha named its kāraka are devoid of strength; when ⟨the bhāva⟩ stands hemmed in between malefics and is joined with and aspected by malefics and by enemies, and by no other grahas; or when malefics occupy the kinsman ⟨4th⟩, the death ⟨8th⟩ and the expenditure ⟨12th⟩ houses from it, or stand in a trikoṇa from it — the harm of that bhāva is to be pronounced. It comes about plainly here from the concurrence of two or three ⟨of these⟩.

तत्तद्भावपराभवेश्वरखरद्रेष्काणपा दुर्बला भावार्यष्टमकामगा निजदशायां भावनाशप्रदाः । पापा भावगृहात् त्रिशत्रुभवगाः केन्द्रत्रिकोणे शुभाः वीर्याढ्याः खलु भावनाथसुहृदो भावस्य सिद्धिप्रदाः

tattadbhāvaparābhaveśvarakharadreṣkāṇapā durbalā bhāvāryaṣṭamakāmagā nijadaśāyāṃ bhāvanāśapradāḥ | pāpā bhāvagṛhāt triśatrubhavagāḥ kendratrikoṇe śubhāḥ vīryāḍhyāḥ khalu bhāvanāthasuhṛdo bhāvasya siddhipradāḥ

The lords of each bhāva, of its overthrow, and of the twenty-second drekkāṇa, when weak and gone to the enemy ⟨6th⟩, the eighth or the love ⟨7th⟩ ⟨house⟩ from the bhāva, are givers of that bhāva's destruction in their own daśā. Malefics ⟨standing⟩ in the 3rd, the 6th and the 11th from the house of the bhāva, and benefics rich in vigour ⟨standing⟩ in a kendra or a trikoṇa, being friends of the lord of the bhāva, are indeed the givers of that bhāva's accomplishment.

राश्योर्जन्मविलग्नयोर्धृतिपतिर्मृत्युस्थतद्वीक्षकौ मन्दः क्रूरदृगाणपो गुलिकपस्तैर्युक्तराश्यंशपा राहुश्चैव सुदुर्बलः स जननेभावानभीष्टस्थितः पापालोकितसंयुतो निजदशायां भावनाशावहाः

⟨Reckoned⟩ from the ⟨Moon's⟩ sign and from the natal lagna: the lord of dhṛti ⟨courage, the 3rd house⟩, the graha standing in the eighth and the graha aspecting it, Saturn, the lord of the cruel drekkāṇa, the lord of Gulika, the lords of the sign and of the aṃśa joined with these, and Rāhu — these, being very weak, standing at birth in a place undesired ⟨from⟩ the bhāvas, and aspected by or joined with malefics, are bringers of that bhāva's destruction in their own daśā.

भावस्योदयपाश्रितस्य कुशलं यद्भावपेनोदयस्वामी तिष्ठति संयुतोऽपि कलयेत्तद्भावजातं फलम् । दुःस्थाने विपरीतमेतदुदितं भावेश्वरे दुर्बले दोषोऽतीव भवेद्बलेन सहिते दोषाल्पता जल्पिता

bhāvasyodayapāśritasya kuśalaṃ yadbhāvapenodayasvāmī tiṣṭhati saṃyuto'pi kalayettadbhāvajātaṃ phalam | duḥsthāne viparītametaduditaṃ bhāveśvare durbale doṣo'tīva bhavedbalena sahite doṣālpatā jalpitā

The bhāva resorted to by the lord of the rising ⟨sign⟩ ⟨enjoys⟩ well-being; and with whichever bhāva's lord the lord of the rising ⟨sign⟩ stands joined, one should reckon the fruit born of that bhāva also. In an evil house this is declared reversed. When the lord of a bhāva is weak the blemish becomes exceedingly great; when he is accompanied by strength, a smallness of blemish is spoken of.

यद्भावेष्वशुभोऽपि वोदयपतिस्तद्भाववृद्धिं दिशेद्दुःस्थानाधिपतिः स चेद्यदि तनोः प्राबल्यमन्यस्य न । अत्रोदाहरणं कुजे सुतगते सिंहे झषे वा स्थिते पुत्राप्तिं शुभवीक्षिते झटिति तत्प्राप्तिं वदन्त्युत्तमाः

yadbhāveṣvaśubho'pi vodayapatistadbhāvavṛddhiṃ diśedduḥsthānādhipatiḥ sa cedyadi tanoḥ prābalyamanyasya na | atrodāharaṇaṃ kuje sutagate siṃhe jhaṣe vā sthite putrāptiṃ śubhavīkṣite jhaṭiti tatprāptiṃ vadantyuttamāḥ

The lord of the rising ⟨sign⟩, though a malefic, points to the increase of whatever bhāvas ⟨he occupies⟩; and even if he be also lord of an evil house, the strength belongs to the body ⟨-house⟩ and not to the other. An example here: when Mars has gone to the house of sons and stands in Leo or in Pisces, the best ⟨of astrologers⟩ declare the obtaining of a son — and, if he is aspected by a benefic, the obtaining of it at once.

द्विस्थानाधिपतित्वमस्ति यदि चेन्मुख्यं त्रिकोणर्क्षजं तस्यार्द्धं स्वगृहेऽथ पूर्वमुभयोर्यत्तद्दशादौ वदेत् । पश्चाद्भावमिहापरार्द्धसमये युग्मे गृहे युग्मजं त्वोजस्थे सति चौजभावजफलं शंसन्ति केचिज्जनाः

If there is lordship of two houses, the chief ⟨effect⟩ is that born of the trikoṇa sign, and half of it ⟨that born⟩ of his own house. Of the two, whichever comes first, one should declare at the start of the daśā; and here, at the time of the second half, the later bhāva. But when he stands in an even sign ⟨he gives⟩ what is born of the even ⟨house⟩, and when in an odd sign the fruit born of the odd bhāva — so some people declare.

यद्भावेशस्याधिशत्रुग्रहो वा यो वा खेटो बिन्दुशून्यर्क्षयुक्तः तत्तत्पाके मूर्तिभावादिकानां नाशं ब्रूयाद्दैववित्प्राश्निकाय

yadbhāveśasyādhiśatrugraho vā yo vā kheṭo binduśūnyarkṣayuktaḥ tattatpāke mūrtibhāvādikānāṃ nāśaṃ brūyāddaivavitprāśnikāya

The graha that is the chief enemy of the lord of a given bhāva, or whatever graha is joined with a sign void of bindus ⟨in the aṣṭakavarga⟩ — in the ripening ⟨daśā⟩ of each of these, let the knower of fate ⟨the astrologer⟩ declare to the querent the destruction of the bhāvas beginning with that of the body ⟨the lagna⟩.

स्वोच्चे सुहृत्क्षेत्रगतो ग्रहेन्द्रः षड्भिर्बलैर्मुख्यबलान्वितोऽपि । सन्धौ स्थितः सन्नफलप्रदः स्यादेवं विचिन्त्यात्र वदेद्विपाके

svocce suhṛtkṣetragato grahendraḥ ṣaḍbhirbalairmukhyabalānvito'pi | sandhau sthitaḥ sannaphalapradaḥ syādevaṃ vicintyātra vadedvipāke

A chief among grahas, though gone to his own exaltation or to a friend's field, and though possessed of the principal strength by the six strengths, becomes a giver of withered fruit if he stands at a sandhi. Having weighed it thus, one should speak here in the ripening ⟨of the daśā⟩.

भावेषु भावस्फुटतुल्यभागस्तद्भावजं पूर्णफलं विधत्ते । सन्धौ फलं नास्ति तदन्तराले चिन्त्योऽनुपातः खलु खेचराणाम्

bhāveṣu bhāvasphuṭatulyabhāgastadbhāvajaṃ pūrṇaphalaṃ vidhatte | sandhau phalaṃ nāsti tadantarāle cintyo'nupātaḥ khalu khecarāṇām

Among the bhāvas, ⟨the graha⟩ whose degree is equal to the bhāva's sphuṭa bestows the full fruit born of that bhāva; at the sandhi there is no fruit; and in the interval between the two a proportion is indeed to be reckoned for the sky-goers ⟨the grahas⟩.

सूर्यादात्मपितृप्रभावनिरुजां शक्तिं श्रियं चिन्तयेत् चेतोबुद्धिनृपप्रसादजननीसम्पत्करश्चन्द्रमाः । सत्वं रोगगुणानुजावनिरिपुज्ञातीन्धरासूनुना विद्याबन्धुविवेकमातुलसुहृद्वाक्कर्मकृद्बोधनः

From the Sun let one consider the self, the father, majesty, health ⟨freedom from disease⟩, power and prosperity. The Moon is the maker of the mind, the intellect, the favour of the king, the mother and wealth. By the son of the earth ⟨Mars⟩ ⟨are to be considered⟩ courage, disease, quality, the younger brother, land, enemies and kinsmen. Mercury the awakener is the doer of learning, kinsmen, discernment, the maternal uncle, friends, speech and work.

प्रज्ञावित्तशरीरपुष्टितनयज्ञानानि वागीश्वरात् पत्नीवाहनभूषणानि मदनव्यापारसौख्यं भृगोः । आयुर्जीवन्मृत्युकारणविपद्भृत्यांश्च मन्दाद्वदेत् सर्पेणैव पितामहंतु शिखिना मातामहं चिन्तयेत्

Wisdom, wealth, the nourishment of the body, the son and knowledge ⟨are to be considered⟩ from the lord of speech ⟨Jupiter⟩; the wife, vehicles and ornaments, and the happiness of amorous dealings, from Bhṛgu ⟨Venus⟩. Life-span, livelihood, the cause of death, calamity and servants let one declare from Manda ⟨Saturn⟩. By the Serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩ indeed ⟨consider⟩ the paternal grandfather, and by the Crested one ⟨Ketu⟩ let one consider the maternal grandfather.

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

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

The lamp of the sky ⟨the Sun⟩; the minister of the immortals ⟨Jupiter⟩; the son of the earth ⟨Mars⟩; the Moon and Mercury; the preceptor; the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩ and Mars; the descendant of Bhṛgu ⟨Venus⟩; the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩; the day-maker ⟨the Sun⟩ and the preceptor of the heaven-born ⟨Jupiter⟩; Jupiter, the Sun, Mercury and Saturn; the preceptor of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩; the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩ — these are the kārakas ⟨of the twelve bhāvas in order⟩ from the lagna.

सुहृदरिपरकीयस्वर्क्षतुङ्गस्थितानां फलमनुपरिचिन्त्यं लग्नदेहादिभावैः । समुपचयविपत्ती सौम्यपापेषु सत्यः कथयति विपरीतं रिःफषष्ठाष्टमेषु

suhṛdariparakīyasvarkṣatuṅgasthitānāṃ phalamanuparicintyaṃ lagnadehādibhāvaiḥ | samupacayavipattī saumyapāpeṣu satyaḥ kathayati viparītaṃ riḥphaṣaṣṭhāṣṭameṣu

The fruit of ⟨grahas⟩ standing in a friend's, an enemy's, a stranger's, their own sign or their exaltation is to be considered in due order together with the bhāvas beginning with the lagna, ⟨the house⟩ of the body. Increase and calamity hold good in the case of benefics and malefics ⟨respectively⟩; ⟨but the rule⟩ declares the reverse in the riḥpha ⟨12th⟩, the 6th and the 8th.

पापग्रहाः षष्ठमृतिव्ययस्थास्तद्भाववृद्धिं कलयन्ति दोषैः । शुभास्तु तद्भावलयं हि तस्माच्छत्रवादि भावोत्थफलप्रणाशः

pāpagrahāḥ ṣaṣṭhamṛtivyayasthāstadbhāvavṛddhiṃ kalayanti doṣaiḥ | śubhāstu tadbhāvalayaṃ hi tasmācchatravādi bhāvotthaphalapraṇāśaḥ

Malefic grahas standing in the 6th, in ⟨the 8th, the house of⟩ death, and in the 12th bring about by their blemishes the increase of those bhāvas; benefics, however, ⟨bring about⟩ the dissolution of those bhāvas — hence the destruction of the fruit that arises from the bhāva of enemies and the rest.

भावस्य यस्यैव फलं विचिन्त्यं भावं च तं लग्नमिति प्रकल्प्य । तस्माद्वदेद्द्वादशभावजानि फलानि तद्रूपधनादिकानि

bhāvasya yasyaiva phalaṃ vicintyaṃ bhāvaṃ ca taṃ lagnamiti prakalpya | tasmādvadeddvādaśabhāvajāni phalāni tadrūpadhanādikāni

Whichever bhāva's fruit is to be considered, having conceived that bhāva as the lagna, from it one should declare the fruits born of the twelve bhāvas — its form, its wealth and the rest.

एवं हि तत्कारकतो विचिन्त्यं पितुश्च मातुश्च सहोदरस्य । तन्मातुलस्यापि सुतस्य पत्युर्भृत्यस्य सूर्यादिखगस्थितर्क्षात्

evaṃ hi tatkārakato vicintyaṃ pituśca mātuśca sahodarasya | tanmātulasyāpi sutasya patyurbhṛtyasya sūryādikhagasthitarkṣāt

In just this way it is to be considered from the kāraka of each — of the father, of the mother, of the uterine brother, of his maternal uncle too, of the son, of the spouse, of the servant — from the sign occupied by the Sun and the other sky-goers.

सूर्यस्थितर्क्षाज्जनकस्वरूपं वृद्धिं द्वितीयेन तु तत्प्रकाशम् । तद्भ्रातरं तस्य गुणं तृतीयात् तन्मातरं चापि सुखं चतुर्थात्

sūryasthitarkṣājjanakasvarūpaṃ vṛddhiṃ dvitīyena tu tatprakāśam | tadbhrātaraṃ tasya guṇaṃ tṛtīyāt tanmātaraṃ cāpi sukhaṃ caturthāt

From the sign occupied by the Sun ⟨judge⟩ the begetter's own form; by the second, his increase and his shining forth; from the third, his brother and his quality; and from the fourth, his mother and his happiness.

बुद्धिं प्रसादं सुतभाच्च षष्ठात्पीडां पितुर्दोषमरिं च रोगम् । कामं मदं तस्य तु सप्तमेन दुःखं मृतिं मृत्युगृहात्तदायुः

buddhiṃ prasādaṃ sutabhācca ṣaṣṭhātpīḍāṃ piturdoṣamariṃ ca rogam | kāmaṃ madaṃ tasya tu saptamena duḥkhaṃ mṛtiṃ mṛtyugṛhāttadāyuḥ

From the house of the son ⟨the 5th⟩, the intelligence and the graciousness; from the sixth, the father's affliction, blemish, enemy and disease; by the seventh, his desire and his passion; from the house of death ⟨the 8th⟩, his sorrow, his dying, and his span of life.

पुण्यं शुभं तत्पितरं शुभेन व्यापारमस्यैव हि कर्मभावात् । लाभं ह्युपान्त्यात् क्षयमन्त्यभावाच्चन्द्रादिकानां फलमेवमाहुः

puṇyaṃ śubhaṃ tatpitaraṃ śubhena vyāpāramasyaiva hi karmabhāvāt | lābhaṃ hyupāntyāt kṣayamantyabhāvāccandrādikānāṃ phalamevamāhuḥ

By the auspicious ⟨9th⟩, ⟨judge⟩ his merit, his good fortune and his father; his business from the karma-bhāva ⟨the 10th⟩; gain indeed from the penultimate ⟨the 11th⟩; and waste from the last bhāva ⟨the 12th⟩. In this same way have they declared the results of the Moon and the rest.

तत्तद्भावात्कारकादेवमूह्यं तत्तन्मातृभ्रातृपित्रात्मजाद्यम् । तस्मिन् भावे कारके भावनाथे वीर्योपेते तस्य भावस्य सौख्यम्

tattadbhāvātkārakādevamūhyaṃ tattanmātṛbhrātṛpitrātmajādyam | tasmin bhāve kārake bhāvanāthe vīryopete tasya bhāvasya saukhyam

From each bhāva and from its kāraka, in this way is the mother, the brother, the father, the son and the rest of each to be inferred. When that bhāva, the kāraka, and the lord of the bhāva are furnished with vigour, ⟨there is⟩ ease for that bhāva.

धर्मे सूर्यः शीतगुर्बन्धुभावे शौर्ये भौमः पञ्चमे देवमन्त्री कामे शुक्रश्चाष्टमे भानुपुत्रः कुर्यात्तस्य क्लेशमित्याहुरन्ये

dharme sūryaḥ śītagurbandhubhāve śaurye bhaumaḥ pañcame devamantrī kāme śukraścāṣṭame bhānuputraḥ kuryāttasya kleśamityāhuranye

The Sun in the dharma ⟨9th⟩, the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩ in the kinsman-bhāva ⟨4th⟩, Mars in ⟨the house of⟩ valour ⟨3rd⟩, the minister of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ in the fifth, Venus in the ⟨house of⟩ love ⟨7th⟩, and the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩ in the eighth — each would work the affliction of that ⟨which he signifies⟩: so others declare.

लग्नेश्वरो यद्भवनेशयुक्तो यद्भावगस्तस्य फलं ददाति । भावे तदीशे बलभाजि तेन भावेन सौख्यं व्यसनं बलोने

lagneśvaro yadbhavaneśayukto yadbhāvagastasya phalaṃ dadāti | bhāve tadīśe balabhāji tena bhāvena saukhyaṃ vyasanaṃ balone

The lord of the lagna, joined with the lord of whatever house and standing in whatever bhāva, gives the fruit of that. When the bhāva and its lord partake of strength, ⟨there is⟩ ease through that bhāva; when they are wanting in strength, distress.

यद्भावप्रभुणा युतो बलवता मुख्याङ्गगो लग्नपस्तद्भावानुभवं शुभं वितनुते यद्भावगस्तस्य च । संयुक्तो बलहीनभावपतिना निन्द्याङ्गभाजां फलं कुर्यात्तद्विपरीतमेवमुदितं सर्वेषु भावेष्वपि

yadbhāvaprabhuṇā yuto balavatā mukhyāṅgago lagnapastadbhāvānubhavaṃ śubhaṃ vitanute yadbhāvagastasya ca | saṃyukto balahīnabhāvapatinā nindyāṅgabhājāṃ phalaṃ kuryāttadviparītamevamuditaṃ sarveṣu bhāveṣvapi

The lord of the lagna, joined with the strong lord of a given bhāva and occupying a chief limb ⟨mukhyāṅga: a kendra or a trikoṇa⟩, spreads out the auspicious experience of that bhāva and of the bhāva he occupies. Joined with a bhāva-lord devoid of strength and partaking of the blameworthy limbs ⟨nindyāṅga: the duḥsthānas, the 6th, 8th and 12th⟩, he would work the fruit that is the reverse of it. Thus is it declared for all the bhāvas as well.

दुःस्थानपस्तदितरस्वगृहस्थितश्चेत् स्वक्षेत्रभावफलमेव करोति नान्यत् मन्दो मृगे सुतगृहे यदि पुत्रसिद्धिः षष्ठाधिपत्यकृतदोषफलं च नात्र

duḥsthānapastaditarasvagṛhasthitaścet svakṣetrabhāvaphalameva karoti nānyat mando mṛge sutagṛhe yadi putrasiddhiḥ ṣaṣṭhādhipatyakṛtadoṣaphalaṃ ca nātra

If the lord of an evil house stands in his other own house, he works only the fruit of the bhāva of that ⟨own⟩ field, and no other. ⟨Thus⟩ if Saturn is in Capricorn in the house of sons, ⟨there is⟩ the accomplishment of a son, and here no evil fruit wrought by his lordship of the sixth.

राशौ स्थितिर्मिथो योगो दृष्टिः केन्द्रेषु संस्थितिः । त्रिकोणे वा स्थितिः पञ्चप्रकारो बन्ध ईरितः

rāśau sthitirmitho yogo dṛṣṭiḥ kendreṣu saṃsthitiḥ | trikoṇe vā sthitiḥ pañcaprakāro bandha īritaḥ

Standing in ⟨one another's⟩ sign, mutual conjunction, aspect, standing in kendras ⟨from each other⟩, or standing in a trikoṇa — a bond of five kinds is declared.

लग्ननवांशपतुल्यतनुः स्याद्वीर्ययुतग्रहतुल्यतनुर्वा चन्द्रसमेतनवांशपवर्णः कादिविलग्नविभक्तभगात्रः

lagnanavāṃśapatulyatanuḥ syādvīryayutagrahatulyatanurvā candrasametanavāṃśapavarṇaḥ kādivilagnavibhaktabhagātraḥ

⟨The native's⟩ body is like that of the lord of the navāṃśa which the lagna occupies, or like that of the graha endowed with strength; ⟨his⟩ complexion is that of the lord of the navāṃśa which the Moon occupies. The limbs of the body are apportioned among the signs beginning with the head, reckoned from the lagna.

लग्नेशे केन्द्रकोणे स्फुटकरनिकरे स्वोच्चभे वा स्वभे वा केन्द्रादन्यत्रसंस्थे निधनभवनपे सौम्ययुक्ते विलग्ने । दीर्घायुष्मान्धनाढ्यो महितगुणयुतो भूमिपालप्रशस्तो लक्ष्मीवान् सुन्दराङ्गो दृढतनुरभयो धार्मिकः सत्कुटुम्बी

lagneśe kendrakoṇe sphuṭakaranikare svoccabhe vā svabhe vā kendrādanyatrasaṃsthe nidhanabhavanape saumyayukte vilagne | dīrghāyuṣmāndhanāḍhyo mahitaguṇayuto bhūmipālapraśasto lakṣmīvān sundarāṅgo dṛḍhatanurabhayo dhārmikaḥ satkuṭumbī

When the lord of the lagna is in a kendra or a trikoṇa with unclouded rays ⟨not combust⟩, or in its exaltation sign, or in its own sign; when the lord of the 8th house stands elsewhere than in a kendra; and when the lagna is joined by benefics — ⟨the native is⟩ long-lived, rich in wealth, endowed with honoured qualities, esteemed by the ruler of the land, prosperous, of handsome limbs, of firm body, fearless, righteous, and possessed of a good family.

सत्संबन्धयुते कलेवरपतौ सद्ग्रामवासोऽथवा सत्सङ्गः प्रबलग्रहेण सहिते विख्यातभूपाश्रयः । स्वोच्चस्थे नृपतिः स्वयं स्वगृहगे तज्जन्मभूमौ स्थितिः सञ्चारश्चरभे स्थितिः स्थिरगृहे द्वन्द्वं द्विरूपं फलम्

satsaṃbandhayute kalevarapatau sadgrāmavāso'thavā satsaṅgaḥ prabalagraheṇa sahite vikhyātabhūpāśrayaḥ | svoccasthe nṛpatiḥ svayaṃ svagṛhage tajjanmabhūmau sthitiḥ sañcāraścarabhe sthitiḥ sthiragṛhe dvandvaṃ dvirūpaṃ phalam

When the lord of the body ⟨the lagna⟩ is joined in relation with benefics, ⟨there is⟩ dwelling in a good village, or else the company of the good. When it is joined with a powerful graha, ⟨he has⟩ the patronage of a renowned king. Placed in its exaltation, he is himself a king; placed in its own house, his abode is in the land of his birth. In a movable sign, wandering; in a fixed sign, a settled abode; in a dual sign, both results.

विख्यातः किरणोज्वले तनुपतौ सुस्थे सुखी वर्धनो दुःस्थे दुःख्यसदृक्षनीचभवने वासो निकृष्टस्थले । स्वस्थो जीवति शक्तिमत्युदयभे वर्द्धिष्णुरूर्जस्वलो निःशक्तौ निहतो विपद्भिरसकृत्खिन्नो भवेदातुरः

vikhyātaḥ kiraṇojvale tanupatau susthe sukhī vardhano duḥsthe duḥkhyasadṛkṣanīcabhavane vāso nikṛṣṭasthale | svastho jīvati śaktimatyudayabhe varddhiṣṇurūrjasvalo niḥśaktau nihato vipadbhirasakṛtkhinno bhavedāturaḥ

When the lord of the lagna is brilliant of ray, ⟨the native is⟩ famous; when well placed, happy and prospering; when ill placed, wretched; when in an inimical sign or in debilitation, his dwelling is in a mean place. When the rising sign is strong, he lives sound in body, thriving and vigorous; when it is without strength, he is struck down by misfortunes again and again, worn out and sickly.

अर्थस्वामिनि मुख्यभावजुषि सत्स्वर्थे कुटुम्बश्रिया सर्वोत्कृष्टगुणो धनी च सुमुखी स्याद्दूरदर्शी नरः । सम्बन्धे सवितुर्द्वितीयपतिना लोकोपकारक्षमां विद्यामर्थमवाप्नुयादथ शनेः क्षुद्राल्पविद्यारतः

arthasvāmini mukhyabhāvajuṣi satsvarthe kuṭumbaśriyā sarvotkṛṣṭaguṇo dhanī ca sumukhī syāddūradarśī naraḥ | sambandhe saviturdvitīyapatinā lokopakārakṣamāṃ vidyāmarthamavāpnuyādatha śaneḥ kṣudrālpavidyārataḥ

When the lord of the 2nd occupies a principal bhāva ⟨a kendra or a trikoṇa⟩ and benefics are in the 2nd, the man ⟨enjoys⟩ the prosperity of his family, is of the most excellent qualities, wealthy, pleasant of face, and far-sighted. If the lord of the 2nd stands in relation with the Sun, he obtains learning fit to do good to the world, and wealth; but ⟨in relation⟩ with Saturn, he is given to petty and scanty learning.

जैवे वैदिकधर्मशास्त्रनिपुणो बौधेऽर्थशास्त्रे पटुः शृङ्गारोक्ति पटुर्भृगोर्हिमरुचेः किञ्चित्कलाविद्भवेत् । कौजे क्रूरकला पटुश्च पिशुनो राहौ स्थिते लोहलः केतौ भ्रश्यदलीकवाग्धनगतैः पापैश्च मूढोऽधनः

jaive vaidikadharmaśāstranipuṇo baudhe'rthaśāstre paṭuḥ śṛṅgārokti paṭurbhṛgorhimaruceḥ kiñcitkalāvidbhavet | kauje krūrakalā paṭuśca piśuno rāhau sthite lohalaḥ ketau bhraśyadalīkavāgdhanagataiḥ pāpaiśca mūḍho'dhanaḥ

⟨In relation⟩ with Jupiter he is skilled in the Vedic dharma-śāstras; with Mercury, adept in the science of wealth; with Venus, deft in the speech of love; with the Moon, he becomes somewhat versed in the arts. With Mars, ⟨he is versed in⟩ the cruel arts and is a slanderer; when Rāhu is placed ⟨there⟩, he is a dullard; with Ketu, his speech is false and falling away; and with malefics in the house of speech and wealth ⟨the 2nd⟩ he is deluded and without wealth.

बन्धो यदि स्यात्तनुशौर्यनाथयोरन्योन्यराशिस्थितयोर्बलाढ्ययोः । धैर्यं च शौर्यं सहजानुकूलतां प्राप्नोत्ययं साहसकार्यकर्तृताम्

If there is a bond between the lords of the lagna and of the 3rd ⟨the house of valour⟩ — the two standing in each other's signs and endowed with strength — this ⟨native⟩ obtains steadfastness, valour, the favour of brothers, and the doing of daring deeds.

शौर्यपे बलिनि सद्ग्रहयुक्ते कारकेऽपि शुभभावमुपेते । भ्रातृ वृद्धिरथ वीर्यविहीने दुःस्थिते भवति सोदरनाशः

śauryape balini sadgrahayukte kārake'pi śubhabhāvamupete | bhrātṛ vṛddhiratha vīryavihīne duḥsthite bhavati sodaranāśaḥ

When the lord of the 3rd is strong and joined with benefics, and the kāraka ⟨Mars⟩ too occupies an auspicious bhāva, there is increase of brothers; but when it is devoid of strength and ill placed, there is destruction of siblings.

अयुग्मराशौ यदि कारकेशौ गुर्वर्कभूसूनुनिरीक्षितौ चेत् । ओजो गृहः स्याद्यदि विक्रमाख्यः पुंभ्रातरस्त्वंशवशाद्भवेयुः

ayugmarāśau yadi kārakeśau gurvarkabhūsūnunirīkṣitau cet | ojo gṛhaḥ syādyadi vikramākhyaḥ puṃbhrātarastvaṃśavaśādbhaveyuḥ

If the kāraka ⟨Mars⟩ and the lord ⟨of the 3rd⟩ are in odd signs and are aspected by Jupiter, the Sun and Mars, and if the house named vikrama ⟨the 3rd⟩ is itself an odd sign, the brothers will be male; ⟨and this is to be judged⟩ by the navāṃśas as well.

दुःस्थाने सुखपे शशिन्यपि सतां योगेक्षणैर्वर्जिते पापान्तःस्थितिमत्यसद्ग्रहयुते दृष्टे जनन्या मृतिः एतौ द्वावपि वीर्यगौ शुभयुतौ दृष्टौ शुभैर्बन्धुगैर्मातुः सौख्यकरौ विधोश्च सुखगैः सौम्यैर्वदेत्तत्सुखम्

duḥsthāne sukhape śaśinyapi satāṃ yogekṣaṇairvarjite pāpāntaḥsthitimatyasadgrahayute dṛṣṭe jananyā mṛtiḥ etau dvāvapi vīryagau śubhayutau dṛṣṭau śubhairbandhugairmātuḥ saukhyakarau vidhośca sukhagaiḥ saumyairvadettatsukham

When the lord of the 4th and the Moon as well are ill placed, deprived of the conjunction and aspect of benefics, set between malefics, joined with or aspected by malefic grahas — the death of the mother. But when these two are both in strength, joined with benefics, aspected by benefics and placed in the 4th, they bring about happiness through the mother; and by benefics occupying the 4th from the Moon too one should declare that happiness.

लग्नेशे सुखगेऽथवा सुखपतौ लग्ने तयोरीक्षणे योगे वा शशिनस्तथा यदि करोत्यन्त्यां स्वमातुः क्रियाम् । अन्योन्यं यदि शत्रुनीचभवने षष्ठाष्टमे वा तयोर्मातुर्नोपकरोति नाशसमये बन्धस्तयोर्वा न चेत्

lagneśe sukhage'thavā sukhapatau lagne tayorīkṣaṇe yoge vā śaśinastathā yadi karotyantyāṃ svamātuḥ kriyām | anyonyaṃ yadi śatrunīcabhavane ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame vā tayormāturnopakaroti nāśasamaye bandhastayorvā na cet

If the lord of the lagna is in the 4th, or the lord of the 4th is in the lagna, or there is aspect or conjunction between the two, and likewise with the Moon — then he performs the last rites of his own mother. If the two are mutually in each other's inimical or debilitation signs, or in the 6th and 8th ⟨from each other⟩, he does no good to his mother at the time of ⟨her⟩ death, or if there is no bond between the two.

मात्रृभावोक्तवद्वाच्यं पितृभ्रातृसुतादिषु । भावकरकभावेशलग्नलग्नेश्वरैर्वदेत्

mātrṛbhāvoktavadvācyaṃ pitṛbhrātṛsutādiṣu | bhāvakarakabhāveśalagnalagneśvarairvadet

What has been said of the mother's bhāva is to be said likewise of the father, brothers, sons and the rest; one should declare ⟨them⟩ by the bhāva, its kāraka, the lord of the bhāva, the lagna and the lord of the lagna.

सुस्थौ सुखेशभृगुजौ तनुबन्धुयुक्ता वान्दोलिकां जनपतेश्वरतां विधत्तः । स्वर्णद्यनर्ध्यमणिभूषणपट्टशय्याकामोपभोगकरणानि च गोगजाश्वान्

When the lord of the 4th and Venus are well placed, or joined with the lagna or the 4th, the two confer a palanquin and the lordship of a district, and gold and the like, priceless gems, ornaments, silken beds, the appointments for the enjoyment of pleasures, and cows, elephants and horses.

दुःस्थे सुखेशे कुजसूर्ययुक्ते सुखेऽपि वा जन्मगृहं प्रदग्धम् । जीर्णं तमोमन्दयुतेऽरियुक्ते परैर्हृतं गोक्षितिवाहनाद्यम्

duḥsthe sukheśe kujasūryayukte sukhe'pi vā janmagṛhaṃ pradagdham | jīrṇaṃ tamomandayute'riyukte parairhṛtaṃ gokṣitivāhanādyam

When the lord of the 4th is ill placed and joined with Mars and the Sun, or when they stand in the 4th itself, the house of birth is burnt down; when joined with Rāhu and Saturn, it is decrepit; when joined with enemies, the cattle, land, vehicles and the rest are carried off by others.

सौम्यर्क्षांशे सौम्ययुक्ते पञ्चमे वा तदीश्वरे । वैशेषिकांशे सद्भावे धीमान्निष्कपटी भवेत्

saumyarkṣāṃśe saumyayukte pañcame vā tadīśvare | vaiśeṣikāṃśe sadbhāve dhīmānniṣkapaṭī bhavet

When the 5th house, or its lord, is in the sign or the navāṃśa of a benefic, joined with a benefic, in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa and in a good bhāva, ⟨the native⟩ becomes wise and free from guile.

स्थितिः पापानां वा द्विषति बलयुक्तारिपतिना युतो वा दृष्टो वा यदि रिपुगृहे वा तनुपतिः । अरीशः केन्द्रे वाऽप्यशुभखगसंवीक्षितयुतो रिपूणां पीडां द्राग्भृशमपरिहार्यं वितनुते

sthitiḥ pāpānāṃ vā dviṣati balayuktāripatinā yuto vā dṛṣṭo vā yadi ripugṛhe vā tanupatiḥ | arīśaḥ kendre vā'pyaśubhakhagasaṃvīkṣitayuto ripūṇāṃ pīḍāṃ drāgbhṛśamaparihāryaṃ vitanute

The standing of malefics in the 6th; or the lord of the lagna joined with, or aspected by, a strong lord of the 6th, or itself in the house of enemies; or the lord of the 6th in a kendra, aspected by or joined with inauspicious grahas — ⟨such a disposition⟩ brings on at once severe affliction from enemies, which cannot be turned aside.

षष्ठेश्वरादतिबलिन्युदयाधिनाथे सौम्यग्रहांशसहिते शुभदृष्टियुक्ते । सौख्येश्वरेऽपि सबले यदि केन्द्रकोणेष्वारोग्यभाग्यसहितो दृढगात्रयुक्तः

ṣaṣṭheśvarādatibalinyudayādhināthe saumyagrahāṃśasahite śubhadṛṣṭiyukte | saukhyeśvare'pi sabale yadi kendrakoṇeṣvārogyabhāgyasahito dṛḍhagātrayuktaḥ

When the lord of the lagna is far stronger than the lord of the 6th, holds the navāṃśa of a benefic, and is aspected by and joined with benefics; and the lord of the 4th too is strong — if they are in kendras and trikoṇas, ⟨the native⟩ has health, is attended by ⟨good⟩ fortune, and is of firm limbs.

शत्रुनाथे तु दुःस्थाने नीचमूढारिसंयुते तस्माद्बलाढ्येलग्नेशे शत्रुनाशं रवौ शुभे

śatrunāthe tu duḥsthāne nīcamūḍhārisaṃyute tasmādbalāḍhyelagneśe śatrunāśaṃ ravau śubhe

But when the lord of the 6th is in an evil house, debilitated, combust, or joined with enemies, and the lord of the lagna is stronger than he — ⟨declare⟩ the destruction of enemies; ⟨so too⟩ when the Sun is auspicious.

यद्भावेशयुतो वैरिनाथो यद्भावसंश्रितः । षष्ठस्थितो यद्भावेशस्ते भावाः शत्रुतां ययुः

yadbhāveśayuto vairinātho yadbhāvasaṃśritaḥ | ṣaṣṭhasthito yadbhāveśaste bhāvāḥ śatrutāṃ yayuḥ

The bhāva whose lord is joined with the lord of the 6th; the bhāva which the lord of the 6th occupies; and the bhāva whose lord is placed in the 6th — those bhāvas have passed over into enmity.

सत्संबन्धयुते सप्तर्क्षे तदीशे बलान्विते । पतिपुत्रवती साध्वी भार्या सर्वगुणैर्वृता

satsaṃbandhayute saptarkṣe tadīśe balānvite | patiputravatī sādhvī bhāryā sarvaguṇairvṛtā

When the 7th sign is joined in relation with benefics and its lord is endowed with strength, the wife has ⟨a living⟩ husband and sons, is chaste, and is encompassed by all good qualities.

केन्द्रादन्यत्र रन्ध्रेशे लग्नेशाद्दुर्बले सति । नाधिर्न विघ्नो न क्लेशो नृणामायुश्चिरं भवेत्

kendrādanyatra randhreśe lagneśāddurbale sati | nādhirna vighno na kleśo nṛṇāmāyuściraṃ bhavet

When the lord of the 8th stands elsewhere than in a kendra and is weaker than the lord of the lagna, there is no anguish, no obstruction, no affliction, and the life of men is long.

धर्मे कुजे वा सूर्ये वा दुःस्थे तन्नायके सति । पापमध्यगते वाऽपि पितुर्मरणमादिशेत्

dharme kuje vā sūrye vā duḥsthe tannāyake sati | pāpamadhyagate vā'pi piturmaraṇamādiśet

When Mars or the Sun is in the 9th and the lord of that ⟨house⟩ is ill placed, or is set between malefics, one should declare the death of the father.

दिवा सूर्ये निशा मन्दे सुस्थे शुभनिरीक्षिते । धर्मेशे बलसंयुक्ते चिरं जीवति तत्पिता

divā sūrye niśā mande susthe śubhanirīkṣite | dharmeśe balasaṃyukte ciraṃ jīvati tatpitā

When by day the Sun, and by night Saturn, is well placed and aspected by benefics, and the lord of the 9th is endowed with strength, his father lives long.

मन्दारयोः शीतरुचौ च सूर्ये त्रिकोणगे तज्जननीपितृभ्याम् । त्यक्तो भवेच्छक्रपुरोहितेन दृष्टे तनूजोऽस्ति सुखी चिरायुः

mandārayoḥ śītarucau ca sūrye trikoṇage tajjananīpitṛbhyām | tyakto bhavecchakrapurohitena dṛṣṭe tanūjo'sti sukhī cirāyuḥ

When the Moon and the Sun stand in a trikoṇa from Saturn and Mars, ⟨the child⟩ comes to be forsaken by its mother and father; ⟨but⟩ if aspected by the preceptor of Indra ⟨Jupiter⟩, the son is happy and long-lived.

शनिर्भाग्याधिपः स्याच्चेच्चरस्थो न शुभेक्षितः । सूर्ये दुःस्थानगेऽप्यन्यपितरं ह्युपजीवति

śanirbhāgyādhipaḥ syācceccarastho na śubhekṣitaḥ | sūrye duḥsthānage'pyanyapitaraṃ hyupajīvati

If Saturn be the lord of the 9th, standing in a movable sign and not aspected by benefics, and the Sun too is in an evil house, ⟨the native⟩ lives dependent upon another father.

धर्मे तदीशे वा मन्दयुक्ते दृष्टेऽपि वा चरे । जातो दत्तो भवेन्नूनं व्ययेशे बलशालिनि

dharme tadīśe vā mandayukte dṛṣṭe'pi vā care | jāto datto bhavennūnaṃ vyayeśe balaśālini

When the 9th house, or its lord, standing in a movable sign, is joined with Saturn or even aspected by him, and the lord of the 12th is strong, the one born is certainly given away ⟨in adoption⟩.

नभसि शुभखगे वा तत्पतौ केन्द्रकोणे बलिनि निजगृहोच्चे कर्मगे लग्नपे वा । महितपृथुयशाः स्याद्धर्मकर्मप्रवृत्तिः नृपतिसदृशभाग्यं दीर्घमायुश्च तस्य

nabhasi śubhakhage vā tatpatau kendrakoṇe balini nijagṛhocce karmage lagnape vā | mahitapṛthuyaśāḥ syāddharmakarmapravṛttiḥ nṛpatisadṛśabhāgyaṃ dīrghamāyuśca tasya

When a benefic graha is in the 10th, or its lord is strong in a kendra or a trikoṇa, in its own house or exaltation, or when the lord of the lagna is in the 10th — ⟨the native⟩ is of honoured and far-spread fame, set upon dharma and ⟨right⟩ works; his fortune is like a king's, and his life long.

ऊर्जस्वी जनवल्लभो दशमगे सूर्ये कुजे वा महत् कार्यं साधयति प्रतापबहुलं खेशश्च सुस्थो यदि । सद्व्यापारवतीं क्रियां वितनुते सौम्येषु सच्छ्लाघितां कर्मस्थेष्वहिमन्दकेतुषु भवेद्दुष्कर्मकारी नरः

ūrjasvī janavallabho daśamage sūrye kuje vā mahat kāryaṃ sādhayati pratāpabahulaṃ kheśaśca sustho yadi | sadvyāpāravatīṃ kriyāṃ vitanute saumyeṣu sacchlāghitāṃ karmastheṣvahimandaketuṣu bhavedduṣkarmakārī naraḥ

When the Sun or Mars is in the 10th, he is vigorous and beloved of the people, and accomplishes a great work full of majesty, if the lord of the 10th too is well placed. With benefics ⟨there⟩ he carries on an occupation of honest trade and ⟨wins⟩ the praise of the good; ⟨but⟩ when Rāhu, Saturn and Ketu stand in the 10th, the man becomes a doer of evil deeds.

लाभेशो यद्भावनाथयुक्ते यद्भावगेऽपि वा । भावं तदनुरूपस्य वस्तुनो लाभगैरपि

lābheśo yadbhāvanāthayukte yadbhāvage'pi vā | bhāvaṃ tadanurūpasya vastuno lābhagairapi

When the lord of the 11th is joined with the lord of any bhāva, or is itself placed in any bhāva, ⟨one should declare⟩ the gain of the things answering to that bhāva; ⟨and so too⟩ by the grahas placed in the 11th.

व्ययस्थितो यद्भावेशो व्ययेशो यत्र तिष्ठति । तस्य भावस्यानुरूपवस्तुनो नाशमादिशेत्

vyayasthito yadbhāveśo vyayeśo yatra tiṣṭhati | tasya bhāvasyānurūpavastuno nāśamādiśet

The bhāva whose lord stands in the 12th, and the bhāva in which the lord of the 12th stands — one should declare the destruction of the objects answering to that bhāva.

भावेशस्थितभांशकोणमपि वा भावं तु वा लग्नपो लग्नेशस्थितभांशकोणमुदयं वाऽयाति भावाधिपः । संयोगेऽपि विलोकनेऽपि च तयोस्तद्भावसिद्धिं तदा ब्रूयात्कारकयोगतस्तनुपतेर्लग्नाच्च चन्द्रादपि

bhāveśasthitabhāṃśakoṇamapi vā bhāvaṃ tu vā lagnapo lagneśasthitabhāṃśakoṇamudayaṃ vā'yāti bhāvādhipaḥ | saṃyoge'pi vilokane'pi ca tayostadbhāvasiddhiṃ tadā brūyātkārakayogatastanupaterlagnācca candrādapi

If the lord of the ascendant (lagna) comes to the sign or the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of a ⟨given⟩ house (bhāva), or to a trikoṇa ⟨from these⟩, or to that house itself; or if the lord of that house comes to the sign or the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the lagna, or to a trikoṇa ⟨from these⟩, or to the rising sign (udaya) itself; and likewise when the two of them are in conjunction, or aspect one another — then one should declare the fulfilment of that house. ⟨So too⟩ from the conjunction of the kāraka with the lord of the lagna (tanupati); and ⟨all this is⟩ to be reckoned from the lagna and from the Moon alike.

यद्भावेशस्थितर्क्षांशत्रिकोणस्थे गुरुर्यदा । गोचरे तस्य भावस्य फलप्राप्तिं विनिर्दिशेत्

yadbhāveśasthitarkṣāṃśatrikoṇasthe gururyadā | gocare tasya bhāvasya phalaprāptiṃ vinirdiśet

When Jupiter (guru) in transit (gocara) stands in the sign (ṛkṣa) or the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of a ⟨given⟩ house, or in a trikoṇa ⟨from these⟩, one should declare the attainment of the fruits of that house.

लग्नारिनाथयोगे तु लग्नेशाद्दुर्बले रिपौ । तदा तद्वशगः शत्रुविपरीतमतोऽन्यथा

lagnārināthayoge tu lagneśāddurbale ripau | tadā tadvaśagaḥ śatruviparītamato'nyathā

But when the lords of the lagna and of the 6th (ari) are in conjunction, and the lord of the 6th (ripu) is weaker than the lord of the lagna, then the enemy falls under ⟨the native's⟩ control; when it is otherwise than this, the contrary ⟨follows⟩.

यद्भावपस्य तनुपस्य भवत्यरित्वात्तत्कालशत्रु वशतोऽरिमृतिस्थितो वा । स्पर्धां तदा वदतु तेन च गोचरस्थस्तद्वत्सुहृत्त्वमपि संयुतिमैत्रतश्च

yadbhāvapasya tanupasya bhavatyaritvāttatkālaśatru vaśato'rimṛtisthito vā | spardhāṃ tadā vadatu tena ca gocarasthastadvatsuhṛttvamapi saṃyutimaitrataśca

When there is enmity between the lord of a ⟨given⟩ house and the lord of the lagna (tanupa) — whether from ⟨natural⟩ enmity, or by force of a temporal enemy (tatkāla-śatru), or by one standing in the 6th or the 8th (ari, mṛti) ⟨from the other⟩ — then let one declare rivalry with him (tena) ⟨the person that house signifies⟩; and ⟨so too⟩ when ⟨such a graha⟩ stands thus in transit (gocara). In the same way friendship also ⟨is to be declared⟩, from their conjunction and from ⟨their⟩ friendliness.

लग्नेशयद्भावपयोस्तु योगो यदा तदा तत्फलसिद्धिकालः । भावेशवीर्ये शुभमन्यथान्यल्लग्नाच्च चन्द्रादपि चिन्तनीयम्

lagneśayadbhāvapayostu yogo yadā tadā tatphalasiddhikālaḥ | bhāveśavīrye śubhamanyathānyallagnācca candrādapi cintanīyam

When there is a conjunction (yoga) of the lord of the lagna and the lord of a ⟨given⟩ house, that is the time of the fulfilment of the fruits of that house. If there is strength (vīrya) in the lord of that house, ⟨the result is⟩ auspicious; otherwise it is other ⟨than that⟩. This too is to be considered from the lagna and from the Moon.

तत्तद्भावादष्टमेशस्थितांशे तत्त्रिकोणगे । व्ययेशस्थितभांशे वा मन्दे तद्भावनाशनम्

tattadbhāvādaṣṭameśasthitāṃśe tattrikoṇage | vyayeśasthitabhāṃśe vā mande tadbhāvanāśanam

⟨Reckoning⟩ from each several bhāva: when Saturn is in the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 8th ⟨from that bhāva⟩, or in a trine (trikoṇa) of it, or in the sign and navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 12th ⟨from it⟩ — the destruction of that bhāva.

रन्ध्रेशो गुलिको मन्दः खरद्रेक्काणपोऽपि वा । यत्र तिष्ठति तद्भांशत्रिकोणे रविजे मृतिः

randhreśo guliko mandaḥ kharadrekkāṇapo'pi vā | yatra tiṣṭhati tadbhāṃśatrikoṇe ravije mṛtiḥ

The lord of the 8th, Gulika, Saturn, or else the lord of the 22nd drekkāṇa — in whichever sign one of them stands, when Saturn comes to that sign and its navāṃśa, or to a trine of them, ⟨the native⟩ dies.

उद्यद्दृगाणनाथस्य तथा रन्ध्राधिपस्य च । रन्ध्रद्रेक्काणपस्यापि भांशकोणे गुरौ मृतिः

udyaddṛgāṇanāthasya tathā randhrādhipasya ca | randhradrekkāṇapasyāpi bhāṃśakoṇe gurau mṛtiḥ

In the sign, the navāṃśa, or a trine of the lord of the rising drekkāṇa, and likewise of the lord of the 8th, and also of the lord of the 8th house's drekkāṇa — when Jupiter is there, death.

स्वस्फुटद्वादशांशे वा रन्ध्रेशस्थनवांशके । लग्नेशस्थनवांशे वा तत्त्रिकोणेऽपि वा मृतिः

svasphuṭadvādaśāṃśe vā randhreśasthanavāṃśake | lagneśasthanavāṃśe vā tattrikoṇe'pi vā mṛtiḥ

Or when ⟨Jupiter⟩ is in the dvādaśāṃśa of his own longitude, or in the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 8th, or in the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the lagna, or indeed in a trine of these — death.

रन्ध्रप्रभोर्वा भानोर्वाभांशकोणं गते विधौ । मृतिं वदेत्सर्वमेतल्लग्नाच्चन्द्राच्च चिन्तयेत्

randhraprabhorvā bhānorvābhāṃśakoṇaṃ gate vidhau | mṛtiṃ vadetsarvametallagnāccandrācca cintayet

Or when the Moon goes to the sign and navāṃśa, or a trine, of the lord of the 8th or of the Sun, one should declare death. All this is to be considered both from the lagna and from the Moon.

लग्नेशहीनयमकण्टकभांशकोणं प्राप्तेऽथवा शनिविहीनहिमांशुभांशम् । याते गुरौ स्वमरणन्त्वथ राहुहीनभूसूनुभांशकगुरौ सहजप्रणाशः

lagneśahīnayamakaṇṭakabhāṃśakoṇaṃ prāpte'thavā śanivihīnahimāṃśubhāṃśam | yāte gurau svamaraṇantvatha rāhuhīnabhūsūnubhāṃśakagurau sahajapraṇāśaḥ

When Jupiter reaches the sign, the navāṃśa, or a trine of ⟨the longitude of⟩ Yamakaṇṭaka less the lord of the lagna, or else goes to the sign and navāṃśa of the Moon less Saturn — one's own death. And when Jupiter is in the sign and navāṃśa of Mars less Rāhu — the destruction of a brother (sahaja, the 3rd).

भानोः कण्टकवर्जितस्य भवनांशे वा त्रिकोणे गुरौ तातो नश्यति कण्टकोनगुलिकर्क्षांशत्रिकोणे शनौ । अर्कोनेन्दुगृहांशकोणगगुरौ चन्द्रोनमन्दात्मजक्षेत्रेऽंशेऽप्यथवा त्रिकोणगृहगे मन्दे जनन्या मृति

bhānoḥ kaṇṭakavarjitasya bhavanāṃśe vā trikoṇe gurau tāto naśyati kaṇṭakonagulikarkṣāṃśatrikoṇe śanau | arkonendugṛhāṃśakoṇagagurau candronamandātmajakṣetre'ṃśe'pyathavā trikoṇagṛhage mande jananyā mṛti

When Jupiter is in the sign, the navāṃśa, or a trine of the Sun less Yamakaṇṭaka, the father perishes; ⟨so too⟩ when Saturn is in the sign, navāṃśa or trine of Gulika less Yamakaṇṭaka. When Jupiter goes to the sign, navāṃśa or trine of the Moon less the Sun, or when Saturn is in the sign, the navāṃśa, or the trine-sign of Gulika less the Moon — the death of the mother.

वदेत्प्रत्यरिनक्षत्रनाथाच्च यमकण्टकम् । त्यक्त्वा तद्भवने कोणे गुरौ पुत्रविनाशनम्

vadetpratyarinakṣatranāthācca yamakaṇṭakam | tyaktvā tadbhavane koṇe gurau putravināśanam

Subtracting Yamakaṇṭaka from ⟨the longitude of⟩ the lord of the pratyari nakṣatra, when Jupiter is in the resulting sign, or in a trine ⟨of it⟩, one should declare the destruction of a son.

लग्नार्कमान्दिस्फुटयोगराशेरधीश्वरो यद्भवनोपगस्तु । तद्राशिसंस्थे पुरुहूतवन्द्ये तत्कोणगे वा मृतिमेति जातः

lagnārkamāndisphuṭayogarāśeradhīśvaro yadbhavanopagastu | tadrāśisaṃsthe puruhūtavandye tatkoṇage vā mṛtimeti jātaḥ

The longitudes of the lagna, the Sun and Māndi being summed: in whatever sign the lord of that sum's sign stands — when Jupiter is in that sign, or goes to a trine of it, the native meets death.

मान्दिस्फुटे भानुसुतं विशोध्य राश्यंशकोणे रविजे मृतिः स्यात् । धूमादिपञ्चग्रहयोगराशिद्रेक्काणयातेऽर्कसुते च मृत्युः

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

Subtracting ⟨the longitude of⟩ Saturn from the longitude of Māndi, when Saturn is in the ⟨resulting⟩ sign, its navāṃśa, or a trine, ⟨the native⟩ would die. And when Saturn goes to the drekkāṇa of the sign of the sum of the five grahas beginning with Dhūma — death.

विलग्नमान्दिस्फुटयोगभांशं निर्याणमासं प्रवदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः । निर्याणचन्द्रो गुलिकेन्दुयोगो लग्नं विलग्नार्किसुतेन्दुयोगः

vilagnamāndisphuṭayogabhāṃśaṃ niryāṇamāsaṃ pravadanti tajjñāḥ | niryāṇacandro gulikenduyogo lagnaṃ vilagnārkisutenduyogaḥ

The sign and navāṃśa of the sum of the longitudes of the lagna and Māndi — this those versed in it declare to be the month of death. The death-Moon is the sum of Gulika and the Moon; the ⟨death-⟩lagna is the sum of the lagna, Gulika and the Moon.

मान्दिस्फुटोदितनवांशगतेऽमरेड्ये तद्द्वादशांशसहिते दिननाथसूनौ । द्रेक्काणकोणभवने दिनपे च मृत्युर्लग्नेन्दुमान्दियुतभेशगतोदये स्यात्

māndisphuṭoditanavāṃśagate'mareḍye taddvādaśāṃśasahite dinanāthasūnau | drekkāṇakoṇabhavane dinape ca mṛtyurlagnendumāndiyutabheśagatodaye syāt

When Jupiter goes to the navāṃśa arising from the longitude of Māndi, when Saturn is together with the dvādaśāṃśa of that, and when the Sun is in the sign of its drekkāṇa or of a trine ⟨thereof⟩ — death; and it falls at the rising of the sign occupied by the lord of the sign of the sum of the lagna, the Moon and Māndi.

गुलिकं रविसूनुं च गुणित्वा नवसंख्यया । उभयोरैक्यराश्यंशगृहगे रविजे मृतिः

gulikaṃ ravisūnuṃ ca guṇitvā navasaṃkhyayā | ubhayoraikyarāśyaṃśagṛhage ravije mṛtiḥ

Multiplying Gulika and Saturn by the number nine, when Saturn is in the sign of the sum of the two, or in the sign of its navāṃśa — death.

स्फुटे विलग्ननाथस्य विशोध्य यमकण्टकम् । तद्राशिनवभागस्थे जीवे मृत्युर्न संशयः

sphuṭe vilagnanāthasya viśodhya yamakaṇṭakam | tadrāśinavabhāgasthe jīve mṛtyurna saṃśayaḥ

Subtracting Yamakaṇṭaka from the longitude of the lord of the lagna, when Jupiter is in the navāṃśa of the resulting sign — death, there is no doubt.

षष्ठावसानरन्ध्रेशस्फुटैक्यभवनं गते । तत्त्रिकोणोपगे वाऽपि मन्दे मृत्युभयं नृणाम्

ṣaṣṭhāvasānarandhreśasphuṭaikyabhavanaṃ gate | tattrikoṇopage vā'pi mande mṛtyubhayaṃ nṛṇām

When Saturn goes to the sign of the sum of the longitudes of the lords of the 6th, the 12th and the 8th, or comes to a trine of it, there is danger of death for men.

उद्यद्दृगाणपतिराशिगते सुरेड्ये तस्य त्रिकोणमपि गच्छति वा विनाशम् । रन्ध्रत्रिभागपतिमन्दिरगेऽथ मन्दे प्राप्ते त्रिकोणमथवास्य वदन्ति मृत्युम्

udyaddṛgāṇapatirāśigate sureḍye tasya trikoṇamapi gacchati vā vināśam | randhratribhāgapatimandirage'tha mande prāpte trikoṇamathavāsya vadanti mṛtyum

When Jupiter goes to the sign of the lord of the rising drekkāṇa, or goes to a trine of it — destruction. And when Saturn is in the sign of the lord of the drekkāṇa of the 8th, or reaches a trine of it, they declare death.

विलग्नजन्माष्टमराशिनाथयोः खरत्रिभागेश्वरयोस्तयोरपि । शशाङ्कमान्द्योरपि दुर्बलांशकत्रिकोणगे सूर्यसुते मृतिर्भवेत्

vilagnajanmāṣṭamarāśināthayoḥ kharatribhāgeśvarayostayorapi | śaśāṅkamāndyorapi durbalāṃśakatrikoṇage sūryasute mṛtirbhavet

Of the lord of the lagna and the lord of the 8th sign from birth, of the lords of the 22nd drekkāṇa of those two as well, and of the Moon and Māndi also — when Saturn goes to the navāṃśa of whichever of them is weakest, or to a trine of it, death would occur.

लग्नाधिपस्थितनवांशकराशितुल्यं रन्ध्राधिपस्य गृहमापतिते घटेशे । तस्मिन्वदेन्मरणयोगमनेकशास्त्रसंक्षुण्णखिन्नमतिभिः परिकीर्तितं तत्

lagnādhipasthitanavāṃśakarāśitulyaṃ randhrādhipasya gṛhamāpatite ghaṭeśe | tasminvadenmaraṇayogamanekaśāstrasaṃkṣuṇṇakhinnamatibhiḥ parikīrtitaṃ tat

When the sign of the lord of the 8th is the same as the sign of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the lagna, and Saturn arrives there — in that one should declare a yoga of death; that has been proclaimed by those whose wits are worn out with threshing through many śāstras.

शशाङ्कसंयुक्तदृगाणपूर्वतः खरत्रिभागेशगृहं गतेऽपि वा । त्रिकोणगे वा मरणं शरीरिणां शशिन्यथ स्यात्तनुरन्ध्ररिःफगे

śaśāṅkasaṃyuktadṛgāṇapūrvataḥ kharatribhāgeśagṛhaṃ gate'pi vā | trikoṇage vā maraṇaṃ śarīriṇāṃ śaśinyatha syāttanurandhrariḥphage

Counting from the drekkāṇa the Moon occupies, ⟨take⟩ the lord of the 22nd drekkāṇa: when ⟨Saturn⟩ goes to his sign, or to a trine, ⟨comes⟩ the death of embodied beings — and it comes about with the Moon in the 1st, the 8th, or the 12th.

निधनेश्वरगतराशौ भानाविन्दौ तु भानुगतराशौ । निधनाधिपसंयुक्ते नक्षत्रे निर्दिशेन्मरणम्

nidhaneśvaragatarāśau bhānāvindau tu bhānugatarāśau | nidhanādhipasaṃyukte nakṣatre nirdiśenmaraṇam

With the Sun in the sign occupied by the lord of the 8th, and the Moon in the sign occupied by the Sun, in the nakṣatra joined by the lord of the 8th — one should point out death.

यो राशिर्गुलिकोपेतः तत्त्रिकोणगते शनौ । मरणं निशिजातानां दिविजानां तदस्तके

yo rāśirgulikopetaḥ tattrikoṇagate śanau | maraṇaṃ niśijātānāṃ divijānāṃ tadastake

The sign that Gulika occupies: when Saturn goes to a trine of it, death for those born by night; for those born by day, ⟨death⟩ in the 7th from it.

गुरुराहुस्फुटैक्यस्य राशिं यातो गुरुर्यदा । तदा तु निधनं विद्यात्तत्त्रिकोणगतोऽथवा

gururāhusphuṭaikyasya rāśiṃ yāto gururyadā | tadā tu nidhanaṃ vidyāttattrikoṇagato'thavā

When Jupiter goes to the sign of the sum of the longitudes of Jupiter and Rāhu, or has gone to a trine of it, then one should know death.

अष्टमस्य त्रिभागांशपतिस्थितगृहं शनौ । तदीशनवभागर्क्षं गते वा मरणं भवेत्

aṣṭamasya tribhāgāṃśapatisthitagṛhaṃ śanau | tadīśanavabhāgarkṣaṃ gate vā maraṇaṃ bhavet

When Saturn goes to the sign occupied by the lord of the drekkāṇa-portion of the 8th, or to the sign of its navāṃśa, death occurs.

जन्मकाले शनौ यस्य जन्माष्टमपतेरपि । राशेरंशकराशेर्वा त्रिकोणस्थे शनौ मृतिः

janmakāle śanau yasya janmāṣṭamapaterapi | rāśeraṃśakarāśervā trikoṇasthe śanau mṛtiḥ

The sign in which Saturn stood at the time of birth, and the sign of the lord of the 8th from birth, or the signs of their navāṃśas — when Saturn stands in a trine ⟨of these⟩, ⟨the native⟩ dies.

निशीन्दुराशौ चेज्जन्म मान्दिभेऽंशे मृतिः । दिवार्कभे चेत्तद्द्यूनत्रिकोणे वा शनौ मृतिः

niśīndurāśau cejjanma māndibhe'ṃśe mṛtiḥ | divārkabhe cettaddyūnatrikoṇe vā śanau mṛtiḥ

If the birth is by night, ⟨reckon⟩ in the Moon's sign: death in the sign and navāṃśa of Māndi. If by day, in the Sun's sign; or when Saturn is in the 7th from it, or in a trine — death.

रन्ध्रेश्वराद्यावति भे मान्दिस्तावति भे ततः । शनिश्चेन्मरणं ब्रूयादिति सद्गुरुभाषितम्

randhreśvarādyāvati bhe māndistāvati bhe tataḥ | śaniścenmaraṇaṃ brūyāditi sadgurubhāṣitam

At however many signs Māndi stands from the lord of the 8th, if Saturn is at that many signs from ⟨Māndi⟩, one should declare death — thus it has been spoken by the true preceptor.

जन्मकालीनभृगुजात्कामशत्रु व्यये रवौ । मरणं निश्चितं ब्रूयादिति सद्गुरुभाषितम्

janmakālīnabhṛgujātkāmaśatru vyaye ravau | maraṇaṃ niścitaṃ brūyāditi sadgurubhāṣitam

When the Sun is in the 7th, the 6th, or the 12th from Venus of the birth-time, one should declare death certain — thus it has been spoken by the true preceptor.

तिष्ठन्त्यष्टमरिःफषष्ठपतयो रन्ध्रत्रिभागेश्वरो मान्दिर्यद्भवनेषु तेष्वपि गृहेष्वार्कीज्यसूर्येन्दवः । सर्वे चारवशात्प्रयान्ति हि यदा मृत्युस्तदा स्यान्नृणां तेषामंशवशाद्वदन्तु निधनं तत्तत्त्रिकोणेऽपि वा

In whatever signs stand the lords of the 8th, the 12th and the 6th, the lord of the drekkāṇa of the 8th, and Māndi — when Saturn, Jupiter, the Sun and the Moon all come by force of transit into those very signs, then death befalls men. Declare death by their navāṃśas too, or in the trine of each of them.

तिग्मांशुर्जनयत्युषेशसहितो यन्त्राश्मकारं नरं भौमेनाघरतं बुधेन निपुणं धीकीर्तिसौख्यान्वितम् । क्रूरं वाक्पतिनान्यकार्यनिरतं शुक्रेण रङ्गायुधैर्लब्धस्वं रविजेन धातुकुशलं भाण्डप्रकारेषु वा

tigmāṃśurjanayatyuṣeśasahito yantrāśmakāraṃ naraṃ bhaumenāgharataṃ budhena nipuṇaṃ dhīkīrtisaukhyānvitam | krūraṃ vākpatinānyakāryanirataṃ śukreṇa raṅgāyudhairlabdhasvaṃ ravijena dhātukuśalaṃ bhāṇḍaprakāreṣu vā

The hot-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩, joined with the Moon, produces a man who works machines and stone; with Bhauma ⟨Mars⟩, one given to sin; with Mercury, one skilful, endowed with intelligence, fame and comfort; with Vākpati ⟨Jupiter⟩, one harsh and taken up with other men's business; with Venus, one who gains his wealth by the stage and by weapons; and with Ravija ⟨Saturn⟩, one skilled in metals, or in vessels of ⟨various⟩ kinds.

कूटस्त्र्यासवकुंभपण्यमशिवं मातुः सवक्रः शशी सज्ञः प्रश्रितवाक्यमर्थनिपुणं सौभाग्यकीर्त्यान्वितम् । विक्रान्तं कुलमुख्यमस्थिरमतिं चित्तेश्वरं साङ्गिरा वस्त्राणां ससितः क्रियादिकुशलं सार्किः पुनर्भूसुतम्

kūṭastryāsavakuṃbhapaṇyamaśivaṃ mātuḥ savakraḥ śaśī sajñaḥ praśritavākyamarthanipuṇaṃ saubhāgyakīrtyānvitam | vikrāntaṃ kulamukhyamasthiramatiṃ citteśvaraṃ sāṅgirā vastrāṇāṃ sasitaḥ kriyādikuśalaṃ sārkiḥ punarbhūsutam

The Moon with Vakra ⟨Mars⟩ ⟨gives⟩ one whose merchandise is false ⟨weights⟩, women, liquor and pots, and ⟨who is⟩ inauspicious for his mother; with Jña ⟨Mercury⟩, one of courteous speech, adept at wealth, endowed with good fortune and fame; with Āṅgirasa ⟨Jupiter⟩, one valiant, foremost in his family, unsteady of mind, a lord of ⟨men's⟩ hearts; with Sita ⟨Venus⟩, one skilled in the making and the rest of garments; and with Ārki ⟨Saturn⟩, the son of a remarried woman.

मूलादिस्नेहकूटैर्व्यवहरति वणिग्बाहुयोद्धा ससौम्ये पुर्यध्यक्षः सजीवे भवति नरपतिः प्राप्तवित्तो द्विजो वा । गोपो मल्लोऽथ दक्षः परयुवतिरतो द्यूतकृत्सासुरेज्ये दुःखार्तोऽसत्यसन्धः ससवितृतनये भूमिजे निन्दितश्च

mūlādisnehakūṭairvyavaharati vaṇigbāhuyoddhā sasaumye puryadhyakṣaḥ sajīve bhavati narapatiḥ prāptavitto dvijo vā | gopo mallo'tha dakṣaḥ parayuvatirato dyūtakṛtsāsurejye duḥkhārto'satyasandhaḥ sasavitṛtanaye bhūmije ninditaśca

⟨Mars⟩ with Saumya ⟨Mercury⟩ ⟨makes⟩ a merchant who takes his living by roots and the like, by oils and by false ⟨weights⟩, and a fighter with his arms; with Jīva ⟨Jupiter⟩ he becomes the governor of a city, a king, or a twice-born man who has come by wealth; with the preceptor of the asuras ⟨Venus⟩, a cowherd, a wrestler, a skilful man, one given to other men's wives, a gambler; and Bhūmija ⟨Mars⟩ with the son of Savitṛ ⟨Saturn⟩, one stricken with sorrow, false to his word, and despised.

सौम्ये रङ्गचरो बृहस्पतियुते गीतप्रियो नृत्यविद् वाग्मी भूगणपः सितेन मृदुना मायापटुर्लम्पटः । सद्विद्यो धनदारवान् बहुगुणः शुक्रेण युक्ते गुरौ ज्ञेयः श्मश्रुकरोऽसितेन घटकृज्जातोऽन्नकारोऽपि

saumye raṅgacaro bṛhaspatiyute gītapriyo nṛtyavid vāgmī bhūgaṇapaḥ sitena mṛdunā māyāpaṭurlampaṭaḥ | sadvidyo dhanadāravān bahuguṇaḥ śukreṇa yukte gurau jñeyaḥ śmaśrukaro'sitena ghaṭakṛjjāto'nnakāro'pi

Saumya ⟨Mercury⟩ joined with Bṛhaspati ⟨makes⟩ one who goes upon the stage, fond of song, knowing dance, eloquent, a chief over the people of a district; the gentle one ⟨Mercury⟩ with Sita ⟨Venus⟩, one adept in deceit and lecherous. Jupiter joined with Venus ⟨gives⟩ one of sound learning, possessed of wealth and of a wife, of many virtues; and with Asita ⟨Saturn⟩ he is to be known as a barber, a potter, or a cook as well.

असितसितसमागमेऽल्पचक्षुर्युवतिसमाश्रयसम्प्रवृद्धवित्तः । भवति च लिखिपुस्तकचित्रवेत्ता कथितफलैः परतो विकल्पनीयाः

asitasitasamāgame'lpacakṣuryuvatisamāśrayasampravṛddhavittaḥ | bhavati ca likhipustakacitravettā kathitaphalaiḥ parato vikalpanīyāḥ

When Asita ⟨Saturn⟩ and Sita ⟨Venus⟩ come together, ⟨the man is⟩ weak of eye, his wealth greatly swollen by the support of women; and he becomes versed in writing, in books and in painting. From the results ⟨here⟩ stated, ⟨the combinations⟩ beyond ⟨two grahas⟩ are to be worked out ⟨by inference⟩.

भूपो विद्वान् भूपतिर्भूपतुल्यश्चन्द्रे मेषे मोषको निर्धनश्च । निस्स्वः स्तेनो लोकमान्यो महीशः स्वाढ्यः प्रेष्यश्चापि दृष्टे कुजाद्यैः

bhūpo vidvān bhūpatirbhūpatulyaścandre meṣe moṣako nirdhanaśca | nissvaḥ steno lokamānyo mahīśaḥ svāḍhyaḥ preṣyaścāpi dṛṣṭe kujādyaiḥ

The Moon in Meṣa ⟨makes one⟩ a king, a learned man, a lord of the earth, the equal of a king, a thief, and a poor man; ⟨in Vṛṣabha,⟩ destitute, a thief, honoured by the world, a lord of the earth, rich in wealth, and a servant — when aspected by Kuja ⟨Mars⟩ and the rest.

युग्मस्थेऽयोजीविभूपज्ञधृष्टाश्चन्द्रे दृष्टे तन्तुवायोऽधनी च । स्वर्क्षे योधप्राज्ञसूरिक्षितीशा लोहाजीवो नेत्ररोगी क्रमेण

yugmasthe'yojīvibhūpajñadhṛṣṭāścandre dṛṣṭe tantuvāyo'dhanī ca | svarkṣe yodhaprājñasūrikṣitīśā lohājīvo netrarogī krameṇa

The Moon standing in the Twins ⟨Mithuna⟩ and aspected ⟨by Mars and the rest⟩: an iron-worker, a lord of the earth, a knowing man, a bold man, a weaver, and one without wealth. In its own sign ⟨Karka⟩: a warrior, a wise man, a scholar, a lord of the earth, one who lives by iron, and one diseased in the eyes — respectively.

राजा ज्योतिर्विद्धनाढ्यो नरेन्द्रः सिंहे चन्द्रे नापितः पार्थिवेन्द्रः । दक्षो भूपः सैन्यपः कन्यकायां निष्णातः स्याद्भूमिनाथश्च भूपः

rājā jyotirviddhanāḍhyo narendraḥ siṃhe candre nāpitaḥ pārthivendraḥ | dakṣo bhūpaḥ sainyapaḥ kanyakāyāṃ niṣṇātaḥ syādbhūmināthaśca bhūpaḥ

With the Moon in Siṃha: a king, an astrologer, one rich in wealth, a ruler of men, a barber, a chief among rulers. In Kanyā: skilful, a lord of the earth, a commander of an army, an expert, a master of the earth, and a king.

शठो नृपस्तौलिनि रुक्मकार श्चन्द्रे वणिक् स्यात्पिशुनः खलश्च । कीटे नृपो युग्मपिता महीशः स्याद्वस्त्रजीवी विकृताङ्गवित्तः

śaṭho nṛpastaulini rukmakāra ścandre vaṇik syātpiśunaḥ khalaśca | kīṭe nṛpo yugmapitā mahīśaḥ syādvastrajīvī vikṛtāṅgavittaḥ

With the Moon in Tulā: a cheat, a king, a goldsmith, a merchant, a slanderer, and a wicked man. In the Insect ⟨Vṛścika⟩: a king, the father of twins, a lord of the earth, one who lives by cloth, one deformed in limb, and one possessed of wealth.

धूर्तो हयाङ्गे स्वजनं जनेशं नरौघमाश्रित्य शठः सदम्भः । भूपो नरेशः क्षितिपो विपश्चिद्धनी दरिद्रो मकरे हिमांशौ

dhūrto hayāṅge svajanaṃ janeśaṃ naraughamāśritya śaṭhaḥ sadambhaḥ | bhūpo nareśaḥ kṣitipo vipaściddhanī daridro makare himāṃśau

With the Moon in the horse-limbed sign ⟨Dhanus⟩: a rogue; ⟨one who lives⟩ leaning on his own kin; on the ruler of men; on the throng of men; a cheat; and one full of hypocrisy. In Makara: a lord of the earth, a ruler of men, a master of the earth, a wise man, a wealthy man, and a poor man.

कुंभेऽन्यदारनिरतः क्षितिपो नरेन्द्रो वेश्यापतिर्नृपवरो हिमगौ नृमान्यः । अन्त्येऽघकृत्पटुमतिर्नृपतिश्च विद्वान् दोषैकदृग्दुरितकृच्च कुजादिदृष्टे

kuṃbhe'nyadāranirataḥ kṣitipo narendro veśyāpatirnṛpavaro himagau nṛmānyaḥ | antye'ghakṛtpaṭumatirnṛpatiśca vidvān doṣaikadṛgduritakṛcca kujādidṛṣṭe

In Kumbha: given to other men's wives, a lord of the earth, a ruler of men, the keeper of a courtesan, the best of kings, honoured by men — with the cold-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩ ⟨there⟩. In the last ⟨sign, Mīna⟩: a doer of sin, of sharp intellect, a king, learned, one who sees fault alone, and a doer of evil — when aspected by Kuja ⟨Mars⟩ and the rest.

आरक्षको वधरुचिः कुशलश्च युद्धे भूपोऽर्थवान्कलहकृत्क्षितिजांशसंस्थे । मूर्खोऽन्यदारनिरतः सुक्विः सितांशे सत्काव्यकृत्सुखपरोऽन्यकलत्रगश्च

ārakṣako vadharuciḥ kuśalaśca yuddhe bhūpo'rthavānkalahakṛtkṣitijāṃśasaṃsthe | mūrkho'nyadāranirataḥ sukviḥ sitāṃśe satkāvyakṛtsukhaparo'nyakalatragaśca

⟨The Moon⟩ placed in the aṃśa of Kṣitija ⟨Mars⟩: a guard, one who takes pleasure in slaughter, skilled in battle, a lord of the earth, a man of wealth, and a maker of quarrels. In the aṃśa of Sita ⟨Venus⟩: a fool, given to other men's wives, a good poet, a maker of fine poetry, given to pleasure, and one who goes to others' wives.

बौधे हि रङ्गचरचोरकवीन्द्रमन्त्रिगेयज्ञशिल्पनिपुणः शशिनि स्थितेऽंशे । स्वांशेऽल्पगात्रधनलुब्धतपस्विमुख्यः स्त्रीप्रेष्यकृत्यनिरतश्च निरीक्ष्यमाणे

baudhe hi raṅgacaracorakavīndramantrigeyajñaśilpanipuṇaḥ śaśini sthite'ṃśe | svāṃśe'lpagātradhanalubdhatapasvimukhyaḥ strīpreṣyakṛtyanirataśca nirīkṣyamāṇe

When ⟨the Moon⟩ stands in the aṃśa of Baudha ⟨Mercury⟩: a stage-player, a thief, a chief of poets, a minister, a knower of song, and one skilled in craft. In its own aṃśa, when aspected: small of body, greedy for wealth, an ascetic, a leading man, a servant of women, and one taken up with ⟨their⟩ errands.

सक्रोधो नरपतिसंमतो निधीशः सिंहांशे प्रभुरसुतोऽतिहिंस्रकर्मा । जीवांशे प्रथितबलो रणोपदेष्टा हास्यज्ञः सचिवविकामवृद्धशीलः

sakrodho narapatisaṃmato nidhīśaḥ siṃhāṃśe prabhurasuto'tihiṃsrakarmā | jīvāṃśe prathitabalo raṇopadeṣṭā hāsyajñaḥ sacivavikāmavṛddhaśīlaḥ

⟨The Moon⟩ in the aṃśa of Siṃha ⟨the Sun's⟩: wrathful, esteemed by the ruler of men, a lord of treasure, a master, sonless, and of exceedingly cruel deeds. In the aṃśa of Jīva ⟨Jupiter⟩: of renowned strength, an instructor in battle, a knower of jest, a minister, free of desire, and of the character of an elder.

अल्पापत्यो दुःखितः सत्यपि स्वे मानासक्तः कर्मणि स्वेऽनुरक्तः । दुष्टस्त्रीष्टः कोपनश्चार्किभागे चन्द्रे भानौ तद्वदिन्द्वादिदृष्टे

alpāpatyo duḥkhitaḥ satyapi sve mānāsaktaḥ karmaṇi sve'nuraktaḥ | duṣṭastrīṣṭaḥ kopanaścārkibhāge candre bhānau tadvadindvādidṛṣṭe

In the portion of Ārki ⟨Saturn⟩: of few children, afflicted with sorrow, attached to his own consequence though he has means of his own, attached to his own work, fond of wicked women, and quick to anger. For the Sun it is as it is for the Moon, when it is aspected by Indu ⟨the Moon⟩ and the rest.

सूर्यादितोऽत्रांशफलं प्रदिष्टं ज्ञेयं नवांशस्य फलं तदेव । राशीक्षणे यत्फलमुक्तमिन्दोस्तद्द्वादशांशस्य फलं हि वाच्यम्

sūryādito'trāṃśaphalaṃ pradiṣṭaṃ jñeyaṃ navāṃśasya phalaṃ tadeva | rāśīkṣaṇe yatphalamuktamindostaddvādaśāṃśasya phalaṃ hi vācyam

The aṃśa-result declared here, reckoned from the Sun ⟨onwards⟩, is to be known as the result of the navāṃśa itself. And the result stated for the Moon at the aspecting of the ⟨whole⟩ rāśi is to be declared as the result of the dvādaśāṃśa.

वर्गोत्तमस्वपरगेषु शुभं यदुक्तं तत्पुष्टमध्यलघुताऽशुभमुत्क्रमेण । वीर्यान्वितोऽंशकपतिर्निरुणद्धि पूर्वं राशीक्षणस्य फलमंशफलं ददाति

vargottamasvaparageṣu śubhaṃ yaduktaṃ tatpuṣṭamadhyalaghutā'śubhamutkrameṇa | vīryānvito'ṃśakapatirniruṇaddhi pūrvaṃ rāśīkṣaṇasya phalamaṃśaphalaṃ dadāti

For ⟨grahas⟩ standing in vargottama, in their own ⟨aṃśa⟩, or in another's, the auspicious result that has been stated is full, middling or slight ⟨respectively⟩; the inauspicious in the reverse order. The lord of the aṃśa, when endowed with strength, blocks the earlier result — that of the rāśi's aspecting — and gives the result of the aṃśa.

भक्त्या येन नवग्रहा बहुविधैराराधितास्ते चिरं सन्तुष्टाः फलबोधहेतुमदिशन्सानुग्रहं निर्णयम् । ख्यातां तेन पराशरेण कथितां संगृह्य होरागमात् सारं भूरिपरीक्षयातिफलितां वक्ष्ये महाख्यां दशाम्

bhaktyā yena navagrahā bahuvidhairārādhitāste ciraṃ santuṣṭāḥ phalabodhahetumadiśansānugrahaṃ nirṇayam | khyātāṃ tena parāśareṇa kathitāṃ saṃgṛhya horāgamāt sāraṃ bhūriparīkṣayātiphalitāṃ vakṣye mahākhyāṃ daśām

By whom the nine grahas were worshipped with devotion and by manifold ⟨rites⟩ — they, long pleased, graciously imparted the determination that is the means of the knowledge of results. Having gathered its essence from the horā-scripture, I shall declare the daśā that bears the name mahā⟨daśā⟩: renowned, taught by that Parāśara, and proved abundantly fruitful by much testing.

अग्न्यादितारपतयो रविचन्द्रभौमसर्पामरेड्यशनिचन्द्रजकेतुशुक्राः । तेने नटः सनिजया चटुधान्यसौम्यस्थाने नखा निगदिताः शरदस्तु तेषाम्

agnyāditārapatayo ravicandrabhaumasarpāmareḍyaśanicandrajaketuśukrāḥ | tene naṭaḥ sanijayā caṭudhānyasaumyasthāne nakhā nigaditāḥ śaradastu teṣām

The lords of the asterisms beginning with the one ⟨presided over⟩ by Agni ⟨Kṛttikā⟩ are the Sun, the Moon, Mars, the Serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩, the one honoured by the immortals ⟨Jupiter⟩, Saturn, the Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩, Ketu and Venus; and their years are declared ⟨to be⟩ 6, 10, 7, 18, 16, 19, 17, 7 and 20.

ऋक्षस्य गम्या घटिका दशाब्दनिघ्ना नताप्ता स्वदशाब्दसंख्या । रूपैर्नगैः संगुणयेन्नतेन हृतास्तु मासा दिवसाः क्रमेण

ṛkṣasya gamyā ghaṭikā daśābdanighnā natāptā svadaśābdasaṃkhyā | rūpairnagaiḥ saṃguṇayennatena hṛtāstu māsā divasāḥ krameṇa

The ghaṭikās of the ⟨birth⟩ asterism that are yet to be traversed, multiplied by the years of the ⟨lord's⟩ daśā and divided by 60, ⟨give⟩ the number of years of one's own daśā. ⟨The remainder⟩ one should multiply by 12 and by 30; divided by 60, these are the months and the days respectively.

रविस्फुटं तज्जनने यदासीत् तथा विधश्चेत्प्रतिवर्षमर्कः । आवृत्तयः सन्ति दशाब्दकानां भागक्रमात्तद्दिवसाः प्रकल्प्याः

ravisphuṭaṃ tajjanane yadāsīt tathā vidhaścetprativarṣamarkaḥ | āvṛttayaḥ santi daśābdakānāṃ bhāgakramāttaddivasāḥ prakalpyāḥ

Whatever the Sun's exact longitude was at the birth — if in each year the Sun ⟨reaches⟩ the like ⟨longitude⟩, those are the completed revolutions of the daśā years; and the days ⟨of a part year⟩ are to be reckoned from the proportion of the degrees.

भानुः करोति कलहं क्षितिपालकोपमाकस्मिकं स्वजनरोगपरिभ्रमं च । अन्योन्यवैरमतिदुःसहचित्तकोपं गुप्त्यर्थधान्यसुतदारकृशानुपीडाम्

bhānuḥ karoti kalahaṃ kṣitipālakopamākasmikaṃ svajanarogaparibhramaṃ ca | anyonyavairamatiduḥsahacittakopaṃ guptyarthadhānyasutadārakṛśānupīḍām

The Sun brings about quarrel, the anger of the ruler of the land, sudden ⟨calamity⟩, sickness among his own people, and wandering about; mutual enmity, an anger of mind exceedingly hard to bear; and affliction — confinement, ⟨the loss of⟩ wealth and grain, ⟨harm to⟩ sons and wife, and fire.

क्रौर्याध्वभूपैः कलहैर्धनाप्तिं वनाद्रिसंचारमतिप्रसिद्धिम् । करोति सुस्थो विजयं दिनेशस्तैक्ष्ण्यं सदोद्योगरतिं सुखं च

krauryādhvabhūpaiḥ kalahairdhanāptiṃ vanādrisaṃcāramatiprasiddhim | karoti sustho vijayaṃ dineśastaikṣṇyaṃ sadodyogaratiṃ sukhaṃ ca

Well placed, the Sun brings gain of wealth through cruelty, travel and kings, and through quarrels; roaming in forests and hills; great renown; victory; fierceness; constant delight in enterprise; and happiness.

मनःप्रसादं प्रकरोति चन्द्रः सर्वार्थसिद्धिं सुखभोजनं च । स्त्रीपुत्रभूषाम्बररत्नसिद्धिं गोक्षेत्रलाभं द्विजपूजनं च

manaḥprasādaṃ prakaroti candraḥ sarvārthasiddhiṃ sukhabhojanaṃ ca | strīputrabhūṣāmbararatnasiddhiṃ gokṣetralābhaṃ dvijapūjanaṃ ca

The Moon produces serenity of mind, the accomplishment of every object, and pleasant food; the winning of wife, sons, ornaments, garments and gems; gain of cattle and fields; and the honouring of the twice-born.

बलेन सर्वं शशिनस्तु वाच्यं पूर्वे दशाहे फलमत्र मध्यम् । मध्ये दशाहे परिपूर्णवीर्यं तृतीयेभागेऽल्पफलं क्रमेण

balena sarvaṃ śaśinastu vācyaṃ pūrve daśāhe phalamatra madhyam | madhye daśāhe paripūrṇavīryaṃ tṛtīyebhāge'lpaphalaṃ krameṇa

But everything of the Moon is to be declared according to her strength: in the first ⟨part⟩ of the daśā the result here is middling; in the middle ⟨part⟩ of the daśā it is of full force; in the third part the result is small — in that order.

भौमस्य स्वदशाफलानि हुतभुग्भूपाहवाद्यैर्धनं भैषज्यानृतवञ्चनैश्च विविधैः क्रौर्यैर्धनस्यागमः । पित्तासृग्ज्वरबाधितश्च सततं नीचाङ्गनासेवनं विद्वेषः सुतदारबन्धुगुरुभिः कष्टोऽन्यभाग्ये रतः

The results of Mars in his own daśā: wealth by fire, kings, battle and the like, and an inflow of wealth by medicine, falsehood, cheating and cruelties of many kinds. He is constantly afflicted by bile, blood and fever; he resorts to low women; there is hatred between him and his sons, wife, kinsmen and elders; he is wretched, and set upon what is another's lot.

सौम्यः करोति सुहृदागममात्मसौख्यं विद्वत्प्रशंसितयशश्च गुरुप्रसादम् । प्रागल्भ्यमुक्तिविषयेऽपि परोपकारं जायात्मजादिसुहृदां कुशलं महत्त्वम्

saumyaḥ karoti suhṛdāgamamātmasaukhyaṃ vidvatpraśaṃsitayaśaśca guruprasādam | prāgalbhyamuktiviṣaye'pi paropakāraṃ jāyātmajādisuhṛdāṃ kuśalaṃ mahattvam

Mercury brings the coming of friends, comfort of one's own person, fame praised by the learned, and the favour of elders; boldness even in the sphere of speech; benefaction to others; the well-being of wife, children and the rest, and of friends; and eminence.

धर्मक्रियाप्तिममरेन्द्रगुरुर्विधत्ते संतानसिद्धिमवनीपतिपूजनं च । श्लाघ्यत्वमुन्नतजनेषु गजाश्वयानप्राप्तिं वधूसुतसुहृद्युतिमिष्टसिद्धिम्

The preceptor of the lord of the immortals ⟨Jupiter⟩ brings about the attainment of religious observance, the securing of progeny, and honour from the ruler of the land; esteem among exalted men; the obtaining of elephants, horses and conveyances; the company of wife, sons and friends; and the accomplishment of what is wished.

क्रीडासुखोपकरणानि सुवाहनाप्तिं गोरत्नभूषणनिधिप्रमदाप्रमोदम् । ज्ञानक्रियां सलिलयानमुपैति शौक्रयां कल्याणकर्मबहुमानमिलाधिनाथात्

krīḍāsukhopakaraṇāni suvāhanāptiṃ goratnabhūṣaṇanidhipramadāpramodam | jñānakriyāṃ salilayānamupaiti śaukrayāṃ kalyāṇakarmabahumānamilādhināthāt

In Venus's ⟨daśā⟩ one obtains the appurtenances of sport and pleasure, the gaining of good conveyances, delight in cattle, gems, ornaments, treasure and women; the pursuit of knowledge; a water-going vessel; auspicious undertakings; and high honour from the lord of the earth.

पाकेऽर्कजस्यनिजदारसुतातिरोगान्वातोत्तरान्कृषिविनाशमसत्प्रलापम् । कुस्त्रीरतिं परिजनैर्वियुतिं प्रवास माकस्मिकं स्वजनभूमिसुखार्थनाशम्

In the ripening ⟨daśā⟩ of the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩: grievous illnesses, chiefly of wind, to his own wife and sons; the ruin of agriculture; false talk; attachment to bad women; separation from his attendants; sudden dwelling abroad; and the destruction of kinsmen, land, comfort and wealth.

कुर्यादहिः क्षितिपचोरविषाग्निशस्त्रभीतिं सुतार्तिंमतिविभ्रमबन्धुनाशम् । नीचावमाननमतिक्रमतोऽपवादं स्थानच्युतिं पदहतिं कृतकार्यहानिम्

kuryādahiḥ kṣitipacoraviṣāgniśastrabhītiṃ sutārtiṃmativibhramabandhunāśam | nīcāvamānanamatikramato'pavādaṃ sthānacyutiṃ padahatiṃ kṛtakāryahānim

The Serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩ causes fear from kings, thieves, poison, fire and weapons; distress to sons; derangement of mind; the destruction of kinsmen; humiliation from the base; censure arising from transgression; fall from one's place; loss of rank; and the undoing of work already accomplished.

विधुंतुदे शुभान्विते प्रशस्तभावसंयुते दशा शुभप्रदा तदा महीपतुल्यभूतिदा । अभीष्टकार्यसिद्धयो गृहे सुखस्थितिर्भवेदचञ्चलार्थसंचयाः क्षितौ प्रसिद्धकीर्तयः

When the moon-tormentor ⟨Rāhu⟩ is joined with benefics and set in an excellent bhāva, then his daśā gives auspicious results and prosperity equal to a king's: the accomplishments of desired undertakings, a happy dwelling at home, unshaken accumulations of wealth, and fame renowned upon the earth.

पाथोनमीनालिगतस्य राहोर्दशाविपाके महितं च सौख्यम् । देशाधिप्त्यं नरवाहनाप्तिर्दशावसाने सकलस्य नाशः

pāthonamīnāligatasya rāhordaśāvipāke mahitaṃ ca saukhyam | deśādhiptyaṃ naravāhanāptirdaśāvasāne sakalasya nāśaḥ

For Rāhu placed in Pāthona ⟨Virgo⟩, Pisces or Scorpio there is, in the ripening of his daśā, honour and comfort, lordship over a district, and the obtaining of a man-borne ⟨palanquin⟩; ⟨but⟩ at the close of the daśā, the destruction of it all.

केतोर्दशायामरिचोरभूपैः पीडा च शस्त्रक्षतमुष्णरोगः । मिथ्यापवादः कुलदूषितत्वं वह्नेर्भयं प्रोषणमात्मदेशात्

In Ketu's daśā: affliction from enemies, thieves and kings; wounds from weapons; fever; false accusation; the defiling of one's family; fear from fire; and departure from one's own country.

अथ तरणिदशायां क्रौर्यभूपालयुद्धैर्धनमनलचतुष्पात्पीडनं नेत्रतापः । उदरदशनरोगः पुत्रदारार्तिरुच्चैर्गुरुजनविरहः स्याद्भृत्यनाशोऽर्थहानिः

In the daśā of the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩: prosperity produced by mantras, gods, the twice-born and the ruler of the earth; the securing of women, wealth and fields; the obtaining of flowers, garments, ornaments, perfumes and various savours; ⟨and⟩ there is hostility from the wicked, the wasting of what is one's own, and disease of wind.

अमरगुरुदशायामम्बराद्यर्थसिद्धिः परिजनपरिवारप्रौढिरत्यर्थमानः । सुतधनसुहृदाप्तिः साधुवादाप्तपूजा भवति गुरुवियोगः कर्णरोगः कफार्तिः

bhāveśvareṇa prabalena yena yadyatphalaṃ hīnabalena yena | yadānubhoktavyamananyasamyaksaṃsūcayiṣyatyatha saṃgraheṇa

Whatever result is to be undergone through a bhāva-lord that is strong, and whatever through one that is weak in strength — that ⟨the author⟩ will now set forth in brief, exactly and in full.

लग्ने बलिष्ठे जगति प्रभुत्वं सुखस्थितिं देहबलं सुवर्चः । उपर्युपर्यभ्युदयाभिवृद्धिं प्राप्नोति बालेन्दुवदेष जातः

lagne baliṣṭhe jagati prabhutvaṃ sukhasthitiṃ dehabalaṃ suvarcaḥ | uparyuparyabhyudayābhivṛddhiṃ prāpnoti bālenduvadeṣa jātaḥ

When the lagna ⟨-lord⟩ is at his strongest, ⟨in his daśā the native gets⟩ lordship in the world, a settled state of comfort, bodily strength and fine lustre; he attains rise and increase higher and higher — this native ⟨waxes⟩ like the young Moon.

पाकेऽर्थनाथस्य कुटुम्बसिद्धिं सत्पुत्रिकाप्तिं सुखभोजनं च । प्राप्नोति वाग्जीविकया धनानि वक्ता सदुक्तिं सदसि प्रशस्ताम्

pāke'rthanāthasya kuṭumbasiddhiṃ satputrikāptiṃ sukhabhojanaṃ ca | prāpnoti vāgjīvikayā dhanāni vaktā saduktiṃ sadasi praśastām

In the daśā of the lord of wealth ⟨the 2nd⟩: success of the family, the getting of a good daughter, and pleasant food; he gains wealth by a livelihood of speech, and speaks good and praiseworthy words in the assembly.

शौर्ये सवीर्ये सहजानुकूल्यं सन्तोषवार्ताश्रवणं च शौर्यम् । सेनापतित्वं लभतेऽभिमानं जनाश्रयं सद्गुणभाजनत्वम्

When the lord of prowess ⟨the 3rd⟩ is possessed of strength: favour from co-borns ⟨brothers⟩, the hearing of pleasing news, and valour; he obtains the command of an army, self-regard, the resort of people, and the state of being a vessel of good qualities.

बन्धूपकारं कृषिकर्मसिद्धिं स्त्रीसङ्गमं वाहनलाभमेति । क्षेत्रं गृहं नूतनमर्थसिद्धिं स्थानंप्रशस्तं च सुखेश्दाये

In the daśā of the lord of intellect ⟨the 5th⟩: the getting of sons, delight among relatives, or the ministership of kings, and great honour. He eats sweet ⟨fare⟩ here with abundant dishes, gives ⟨in charity⟩, and performs a meritorious act praised by the good.

ripūnnihanti sāhasairarīśvarasya vatsare | arogatāmudāratāmadhṛṣyatāmatiśriyam

In the period of the lord of the enemy-house ⟨the 6th⟩ he slays his enemies by bold deeds; ⟨he obtains⟩ freedom from disease, magnanimity, unassailability, and abundant fortune.

In the period of a strong lord of the 8th ⟨randhra⟩ he meets with release from debt, his own elevation, and the ceasing of quarrelsome business; and the coming in of buffaloes, cattle, goats and servant folk.

स्त्रीपुत्रपौत्रैः सहबन्धुवर्गैर्भाग्यंश्रियं चानुभवत्यजस्रम् । श्रेयांसि कार्याण्यवनीशपूजां भाग्येशदाये द्विजदेवभक्तिम्

In the daśā of the lord of fortune ⟨the 9th⟩ he enjoys unceasingly fortune and prosperity together with wife, sons, grandsons and the circle of relatives; ⟨and there are⟩ meritorious undertakings, worship of the lord of the earth ⟨the king⟩, and devotion to the twice-born and to the gods.

यत्कार्यमारब्धमुपैत्यनेन तस्यैव सिद्धिं सुखजीवनं च । कीर्तिं प्रतिष्ठां कुशलप्रवृत्तिं मानोन्नतिं कर्मपतेर्दशायाम्

aiśvaryamavyāhatamiṣṭabandhusamāgamaṃ bhṛtyajanāṃśca dāsān | saṃsārasaubhāgyamahodayaṃ ca labheta lābhādhipaterdaśāyām

In the daśā of the lord of gain ⟨the 11th⟩ one obtains unobstructed lordship, meeting with dear relatives, servant folk and slaves, and a great rise of worldly good fortune.

व्ययेशितुर्वयस्यतिव्ययं करोति सज्जने । अघौघनाशिनीं शुभक्रियां महीशमान्यताम्

vyayeśiturvayasyativyayaṃ karoti sajjane | aghaughanāśinīṃ śubhakriyāṃ mahīśamānyatām

In the period of the lord of expense ⟨the 12th⟩ he spends greatly upon the good; ⟨he performs⟩ auspicious rites that destroy the flood of sins, and ⟨attains⟩ esteem from the lord of the earth ⟨the king⟩.

वक्रगस्य निजतुङ्गसुहृत्सुस्थानगस्य दशाफलमेवम् । शत्रुनीचगृहमौढ्यषडन्त्यच्छिद्रगस्य तु फलान्यपि वक्ष्ये

vakragasya nijatuṅgasuhṛtsusthānagasya daśāphalamevam | śatrunīcagṛhamauḍhyaṣaḍantyacchidragasya tu phalānyapi vakṣye

Such is the daśā-result of ⟨a bhāva-lord⟩ that is retrograde, or placed in its own sign, its exaltation, a friend's sign, or a good position. But I shall now declare also the results of one placed in an enemy's sign, in debilitation, in combustion, or in the 6th, the 12th ⟨antya⟩ and the 8th ⟨chidra⟩.

दुःस्थेलग्नपतौ निरोधनमुपैत्यज्ञातवासं भयं व्याध्याधीनपरक्रियाभिगमनं स्थानच्युतिं चापदम् । जाड्यं संसदि वाक्कुटुम्बचलनं दुष्पत्रिकां दृग्रुजं वाग्दोषं द्रविणव्ययं नृपभयं दुःस्थे द्वितीयाधिपे

दुश्चिक्याधिपतौ सहोदरमृतिं कार्ये दुरालोचनामन्तःशत्रु निपीडनं परिभवं तद्गर्वभङ्गं वदेत् । मातृक्लेशमरिष्टमिष्टसुहृदां क्षेत्रगृहोपप्लुतिं पश्वश्वादिविनाशनं जलभयं पातालनाथेऽबले

When the auspicious ⟨9th⟩ lord is weak: the anger of the deity formerly worshipped, inauspiciousness, calamity to wife and children, evil-doing, the death of one's own guru and of one's father, and wretchedness. ⟨When the lord of⟩ the sky-house ⟨the 10th is weak⟩, whatever work he does becomes fruitless; ⟨there is⟩ breaking of honour, bad character, exile, inauspiciousness, evil conduct, and the state of being in distress.

श्रवणमशुभवाचां भ्रातृकष्टं सुतार्तिं भवपवयसि दैन्यं वञ्चनं कर्णरोगम् । बहुरुजमपमानं बन्धनं सर्वसम्पत्क्षयमपरशशीवाऽयाति रिःफेशदाये

śravaṇamaśubhavācāṃ bhrātṛkaṣṭaṃ sutārtiṃ bhavapavayasi dainyaṃ vañcanaṃ karṇarogam | bahurujamapamānaṃ bandhanaṃ sarvasampatkṣayamaparaśaśīvā'yāti riḥpheśadāye

In the period of the lord of the 11th ⟨bhava⟩ ⟨when weak⟩: the hearing of inauspicious words, trouble to a brother, affliction of sons, wretchedness, deceit, and disease of the ear. In the daśā of the lord of the 12th ⟨riḥpha⟩ he comes to many diseases, dishonour, bondage and the wasting of all his wealth — ⟨waning⟩ like the Moon of the dark fortnight.

संज्ञायां यदगाच्च कारकविधिश्लोकेषु यज्जल्पितं कर्माजीवनिरूपितं फलमिदं यद्रोगचिन्ताविधौ । यद्यस्येक्षणयोगसंभवफलं भावेशयोगोद्भवं भावेशैरपि भावगैरपि फलं वाच्यं दशायामिह

saṃjñāyāṃ yadagācca kārakavidhiślokeṣu yajjalpitaṃ karmājīvanirūpitaṃ phalamidaṃ yadrogacintāvidhau | yadyasyekṣaṇayogasaṃbhavaphalaṃ bhāveśayogodbhavaṃ bhāveśairapi bhāvagairapi phalaṃ vācyaṃ daśāyāmiha

Whatever ⟨has been said⟩ in ⟨the chapter on⟩ technical names, whatever is spoken in the verses on the rules of the kārakas, this result determined ⟨in the treatment⟩ of action and livelihood, whatever ⟨is laid down⟩ in the rule on the inquiry into disease, whatever result arises for each ⟨graha⟩ from aspect and conjunction, and what arises from the conjunction of the bhāva-lords — all that result is to be declared here in the daśā, by the bhāva-lords and by the grahas occupying the bhāvas alike.

वर्गोत्तमांशस्थदशा शुभप्रदा मिश्रैव सा चास्तमिते च नीचगे । मृत्युव्ययारीशदशापहारयोस्तत्र स्थितस्याप्यशुभं फलं भवेत्

vargottamāṃśasthadaśā śubhapradā miśraiva sā cāstamite ca nīcage | mṛtyuvyayārīśadaśāpahārayostatra sthitasyāpyaśubhaṃ phalaṃ bhavet

The daśā of ⟨a graha⟩ standing in a vargottama aṃśa is a giver of good; but that same ⟨daśā⟩ is mixed when it is combust and when it is in debilitation. In the daśā and the apahāra ⟨sub-period⟩ of the lords of death ⟨the 8th⟩, of expense ⟨the 12th⟩ and of the enemy-house ⟨the 6th⟩, the result is inauspicious even for one standing there ⟨in vargottama⟩.

क्रूरग्रहस्यैव दशापहारे त्रिपञ्चसप्तर्क्षपतेर्विपाके । तथैव जन्माष्टमनाथभुक्तौ चोरारिपीडां लभतेऽतिदुःखम्

krūragrahasyaiva daśāpahāre tripañcasaptarkṣapatervipāke | tathaiva janmāṣṭamanāthabhuktau corāripīḍāṃ labhate'tiduḥkham

In the daśā and apahāra of a malefic graha alone, in the ripening ⟨period⟩ of the lord of the 3rd, the 5th or the 7th sign, and likewise in the bhukti of the lord of the 8th from the birth ⟨sign⟩, ⟨the native⟩ obtains affliction from thieves and enemies, and extreme sorrow.

शनेश्चतुर्थी च गुरोस्तु षष्ठी दशा कुजाह्योर्यदि पञ्चमी सा । कष्टा भवेद्राश्यवसानभागस्थितस्य दुःस्थानपतेस्तथैव

śaneścaturthī ca gurostu ṣaṣṭhī daśā kujāhyoryadi pañcamī sā | kaṣṭā bhavedrāśyavasānabhāgasthitasya duḥsthānapatestathaiva

Saturn's fourth, Jupiter's sixth, and — if it be the fifth — that of Mars and of the Serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩: such a daśā would be troublesome; and likewise ⟨that⟩ of a lord of an evil house standing in the last degree of a sign.

ऊर्ध्वास्यतुङ्गभवनस्थितभूमिजस्य कर्मायगस्य हि दशा विदधाति राज्यम् । जित्वा रिपून्विपुलवाहनसैन्ययुक्तां राज्यश्रियं वितनुतेऽधिकमन्नदानम्

ūrdhvāsyatuṅgabhavanasthitabhūmijasya karmāyagasya hi daśā vidadhāti rājyam | jitvā ripūnvipulavāhanasainyayuktāṃ rājyaśriyaṃ vitanute'dhikamannadānam

The daśā of Mars ⟨the earth-born⟩, standing in an upward-facing sign or in his exaltation-house and gone to the 10th or the 11th, confers kingship. Having conquered his enemies he spreads out a royal splendour furnished with abundant vehicles and armies, and ⟨makes⟩ abundant giving of food.

स्वोच्चस्थितो भृगुसुतो व्ययकर्मगो वा लाभेऽपि वाऽस्तरहितो न च पापयुक्तः । तस्याब्दपाकसमये बहुरत्नपूर्णो धीमान्विशालविभवो जयति प्रशस्तः

svoccasthito bhṛgusuto vyayakarmago vā lābhe'pi vā'starahito na ca pāpayuktaḥ | tasyābdapākasamaye bahuratnapūrṇo dhīmānviśālavibhavo jayati praśastaḥ

Venus ⟨the son of Bhṛgu⟩ standing in his own exaltation, or gone to the 12th or the 10th, or even in the 11th, free of combustion and not joined by a malefic — at the time of the ripening of his years ⟨his daśā⟩ ⟨the native⟩, filled with many jewels, wise, of vast wealth, prevails and is held in esteem.

नीचारिषष्ठव्ययसंश्रिता हि शुभाः प्रयच्छन्त्यशुभानि सर्वे । शुभेतरास्त्वेषु गताः प्रयच्छन्त्यमोघदुःखानि दशासु तेषाम्

nīcāriṣaṣṭhavyayasaṃśritā hi śubhāḥ prayacchantyaśubhāni sarve | śubhetarāstveṣu gatāḥ prayacchantyamoghaduḥkhāni daśāsu teṣām

Benefics that have resorted to debilitation, to an enemy's sign, to the 6th or to the 12th — all of them give inauspicious results. But those other than benefic ⟨the malefics⟩, gone into these ⟨same places⟩, give unfailing sorrows in their daśās.

दशेशशत्रोररिगेहभाजो लग्नेशशत्रोरपि वाऽथ भुक्तौ । शत्रोर्भयं स्थानलयः तदास्य स्निग्धोऽपि शत्रुत्वमुपैति नूनम्

daśeśaśatrorarigehabhājo lagneśaśatrorapi vā'tha bhuktau | śatrorbhayaṃ sthānalayaḥ tadāsya snigdho'pi śatrutvamupaiti nūnam

In the bhukti of the enemy of the daśā-lord when it occupies an enemy's house, or of the enemy of the lagna-lord as well, there is fear from an enemy and ruin of position; and then even one affectionate to him surely comes to enmity.

यद्भावगः पाकपतिर्दशेशात्तद्भावजातानि फलानि कुर्यात् । विपक्षरिःफाष्टमभावगश्चेद्दुःखं विदध्यादितरत्र सौख्यम्

yadbhāvagaḥ pākapatirdaśeśāttadbhāvajātāni phalāni kuryāt | vipakṣariḥphāṣṭamabhāvagaścedduḥkhaṃ vidadhyāditaratra saukhyam

In whichever bhāva the lord of the ⟨sub-⟩period stands reckoned from the daśā-lord, he will produce the results born of that bhāva. If he is placed in the 6th ⟨vipakṣa⟩, the 12th ⟨riḥpha⟩ or the 8th bhāva ⟨from him⟩, he brings about sorrow; anywhere else, happiness.

स्वोच्चत्रिकोणस्वहितारिनीचे पूर्णं त्रिपादार्द्धपदाल्पशून्यम् । क्रमाच्छुभं चेदशुभं विलोमान्मूढे ग्रहे नीचसमं फलं स्यात्

svoccatrikoṇasvahitārinīce pūrṇaṃ tripādārddhapadālpaśūnyam | kramācchubhaṃ cedaśubhaṃ vilomānmūḍhe grahe nīcasamaṃ phalaṃ syāt

⟨A graha⟩ in its own exaltation, in a trikoṇa ⟨its mūlatrikoṇa⟩, in its own sign, in a friend's, in an enemy's, in debilitation ⟨gives⟩ full, three-quarters, half, a quarter, little, and nothing — in that order if it be benefic; if malefic, in the reverse order. For a graha in combustion the result would be equal to that in debilitation.

मन्दमान्द्यगुखरेशरन्ध्रपाः तन्नवांशपतयोऽपि ये ग्रहाः । तेषु दुर्बलदशा मृतिप्रदा कष्टभे चरति सूर्यनन्दने

mandamāndyagukhareśarandhrapāḥ tannavāṃśapatayo'pi ye grahāḥ | teṣu durbaladaśā mṛtipradā kaṣṭabhe carati sūryanandane

Saturn (manda), Māndi, Gu⟨lika⟩, the lord of the twenty-second (khara) drekkāṇa and the lord of the 8th (randhra) — and likewise those grahas that are lords of the navāṃśas ⟨occupied by these⟩: among them, the daśā of the weak one gives death, ⟨while⟩ the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩ is coursing through an afflicted sign.

मृतीशनाथस्थितभांशकेशयोः खरत्रिभागेश्वरयोर्बलीयसः । दशागमे मृत्युपयुक्तभांशकत्रिकोणगे देवगुरौ तनुक्षयः

mṛtīśanāthasthitabhāṃśakeśayoḥ kharatribhāgeśvarayorbalīyasaḥ | daśāgame mṛtyupayuktabhāṃśakatrikoṇage devagurau tanukṣayaḥ

Of the lords of the sign and of the navāṃśa in which the dispositor of the lord of death ⟨the 8th⟩ stands, and of the lords of the twenty-second (khara) drekkāṇa (tribhāga) — when the daśā of the stronger arrives, and the guru of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ occupies a trikoṇa from the sign or navāṃśa joined with the lord of death ⟨the 8th lord⟩, the body is destroyed.

चतुष्टयस्था गुरुजन्मलग्नपा भवन्ति मध्ये वयसः सुखप्रदाः । क्रमेण पृष्ठोभयमस्तकोदयस्थितोऽन्त्यमध्यप्रथमेषु पाकदाः

catuṣṭayasthā gurujanmalagnapā bhavanti madhye vayasaḥ sukhapradāḥ | krameṇa pṛṣṭhobhayamastakodayasthito'ntyamadhyaprathameṣu pākadāḥ

Jupiter and the lords of the janma ⟨rāśi⟩ and of the lagna, standing in a catuṣṭaya (kendra), become givers of happiness in the middle of life. A graha standing in a back-rising (pṛṣṭhodaya), a both-rising (ubhayodaya) or a head-rising (mastakodaya) sign yields its ripening, respectively, in the last, the middle and the first ⟨part of its daśā⟩.

यद्भावगो गोचरतो विलग्नाद्दशेश्वरः स्वोच्चसुहृद्गृहस्थः । तद्भावपुष्टिं कुरुते तदानीं बलान्वितश्चेज्जननेऽपि तस्य

yadbhāvago gocarato vilagnāddaśeśvaraḥ svoccasuhṛdgṛhasthaḥ | tadbhāvapuṣṭiṃ kurute tadānīṃ balānvitaścejjanane'pi tasya

In whatever house from the lagna the lord of the daśā stands by transit — being in his own sign, in his exaltation, or in a friend's house — he then brings prosperity to that house, provided he is endowed with strength in the nativity as well.

बलोनितो जन्मनि पाकनाथो मौढ्यं स्वनीचं रिपुमन्दिरं वा । प्राप्तश्च यद्भावमुपैति चारात्तद्भावनाशं कुरुते तदानीम्

balonito janmani pākanātho mauḍhyaṃ svanīcaṃ ripumandiraṃ vā | prāptaśca yadbhāvamupaiti cārāttadbhāvanāśaṃ kurute tadānīm

The lord of the daśā, deficient in strength at birth, having reached combustion (mauḍhya), his own debilitation, or an enemy's house — whatever house he then enters by transit, of that house he causes the destruction.

दशेशस्य तुङ्गे सुहृद्भे दशेशात् त्रिषट्कर्मलाभत्रिकोणास्तभेषु । यदा चारगत्या समायाति चन्द्रः शुभं संविधत्तेऽन्यथा चेदरिष्टम्

daśeśasya tuṅge suhṛdbhe daśeśāt triṣaṭkarmalābhatrikoṇāstabheṣu | yadā cāragatyā samāyāti candraḥ śubhaṃ saṃvidhatte'nyathā cedariṣṭam

When by its transit course the Moon comes to the exaltation of the lord of the daśā, or to a sign friendly to him, or to the 3rd, the 6th, the 10th (karma), the 11th (lābha), a trikoṇa or the 7th (asta) from the lord of the daśā, it brings about good; if otherwise, misfortune (ariṣṭa).

पाकप्रभुर्गोचरतः स्वनीचं मौढ्यं यदायाति विपक्षभं वा । कष्टं विदध्यात्स्वगृहं स्वतुङ्गं वक्रं गतः सौख्यफलं तदानीम्

pākaprabhurgocarataḥ svanīcaṃ mauḍhyaṃ yadāyāti vipakṣabhaṃ vā | kaṣṭaṃ vidadhyātsvagṛhaṃ svatuṅgaṃ vakraṃ gataḥ saukhyaphalaṃ tadānīm

When the lord of the daśā goes by transit to his own debilitation, to combustion (mauḍhya), or to an enemy's sign, he brings hardship; ⟨when⟩ he goes to his own house, to his own exaltation, or to retrogression (vakra), ⟨he gives⟩ the fruit of happiness at that time.

पाकेशस्य शुभप्रदस्य भवनं तुङ्गं प्रपन्ने यदा सूर्ये तत्फलसिद्धिमेति गुरुणाप्येवं फलं चिन्तयेत् । नीचं कष्टफलप्रदस्य च दशानाथस्य वैरिस्थलं प्राप्ते भास्वति गोचरेण लभते तस्यैव कष्टं फलम्

pākeśasya śubhapradasya bhavanaṃ tuṅgaṃ prapanne yadā sūrye tatphalasiddhimeti guruṇāpyevaṃ phalaṃ cintayet | nīcaṃ kaṣṭaphalapradasya ca daśānāthasya vairisthalaṃ prāpte bhāsvati gocareṇa labhate tasyaiva kaṣṭaṃ phalam

When the Sun ⟨by transit⟩ reaches the house or the exaltation of a daśā-lord who gives auspicious results, the fulfilment of that fruit is attained; with Jupiter too the result is to be reckoned in this same way. And when the Sun by transit reaches the debilitation or the enemy's place of a daśā-lord who gives painful results, one obtains precisely that painful fruit of his.

येन ग्रहेण सहितो भुजगाधिनाथस्तत्खेटजातगुणदोषफलानि कुर्यात् । सर्पान्वितः स तु खगः शुभदोऽपि कष्टं दुःखं दशान्त्यसमये कुरुते विशेषात्

yena graheṇa sahito bhujagādhināthastatkheṭajātaguṇadoṣaphalāni kuryāt | sarpānvitaḥ sa tu khagaḥ śubhado'pi kaṣṭaṃ duḥkhaṃ daśāntyasamaye kurute viśeṣāt

With whatever graha the lord of serpents ⟨Rāhu⟩ is joined, he produces the results, of merit and of fault, born of that graha (kheṭa). But that graha which is joined with the serpent, even though it be a giver of good, produces hardship and sorrow — especially at the closing time of the daśā.

द्वावर्थकामाविह मारकाख्यौ तदीश्वरस्तत्र गतो बलाढ्यः । हन्ति स्वपाके निधनेश्वरो वा व्ययेश्वरो वाप्यतिदुर्बलश्चेत्

dvāvarthakāmāviha mārakākhyau tadīśvarastatra gato balāḍhyaḥ | hanti svapāke nidhaneśvaro vā vyayeśvaro vāpyatidurbalaścet

Here the two — artha (the 2nd) and kāma (the 7th) — are named maraka, the death-dealers. Their lord, posited there and rich in strength, kills in his own daśā; so too the lord of the 8th (nidhana), or the lord of the 12th (vyaya), if he be exceedingly weak.

केन्द्रेशस्य सतोऽसतो।शुभशुभौ कुर्याद्दशा कोणपाः सर्वे शोभनदास्त्रिवैरिभवपा यद्यप्यनर्थप्रदाः । रन्ध्रेशोऽपि विलग्नपो यदि शुभं कुर्याद्रविर्वा शशी यद्येवं शुभदः पराशरमतं तत्तद्दशायां फलम्

kendreśasya sato'sato|śubhaśubhau kuryāddaśā koṇapāḥ sarve śobhanadāstrivairibhavapā yadyapyanarthapradāḥ | randhreśo'pi vilagnapo yadi śubhaṃ kuryādravirvā śaśī yadyevaṃ śubhadaḥ parāśaramataṃ tattaddaśāyāṃ phalam

The daśā of the lord of a kendra gives the inauspicious if he is a benefic (sat) and the auspicious if he is a malefic (asat). All the lords of trikoṇas are givers of good, even though the lords of the 3rd, the 6th (vairi) and the 11th (bhava) are givers of misfortune. Even the lord of the 8th (randhra) does good if he is ⟨also⟩ the lord of the lagna; and the Sun or the Moon, ⟨standing⟩ thus, is a giver of good. This is the view of Parāśara as to the fruit in the daśā of each.

कोणाधीशः केन्द्रगः केन्द्रपो वा कोणस्थश्चेद् द्वौ च योगप्रदौ स्तः । द्वावप्येतौ भुक्तिकाले दशायामन्योन्यं तौ योगदौ सोपकारौ

koṇādhīśaḥ kendragaḥ kendrapo vā koṇasthaśced dvau ca yogapradau staḥ | dvāvapyetau bhuktikāle daśāyāmanyonyaṃ tau yogadau sopakārau

If the lord of a trikoṇa occupies a kendra, or the lord of a kendra occupies a trikoṇa, the two become givers of yoga. Both of them, in the daśā ⟨of one⟩ at the time of the bhukti ⟨of the other⟩, mutually confer yoga, being of help to each other.

न दिशेयुर्ग्रहाः सर्वे स्वदशासु स्वभुक्तिषु । शुभाशुभफलं नॄणामात्मभावानुरूपतः

na diśeyurgrahāḥ sarve svadaśāsu svabhuktiṣu | śubhāśubhaphalaṃ nṝṇāmātmabhāvānurūpataḥ

In their own daśās and their own bhuktis the grahas do not all give men the auspicious and inauspicious fruit that answers to their own bhāva.

आत्मसम्बन्धिनो ये च ये ये निजसधर्मिणः । तेषामन्तर्दशास्वेव दिशन्ति स्वदशाफलम्

ātmasambandhino ye ca ye ye nijasadharmiṇaḥ | teṣāmantardaśāsveva diśanti svadaśāphalam

Those grahas which are connected with them, and those of like nature (sadharmin) with them — in the antardaśās of those alone do they give the fruit of their own daśā.

केन्द्रत्रिकोणनेतारौ दोषयुक्तावपि स्वयम् । सम्बन्धमात्राद्बलिनौ भवेतां योगकारकौ

kendratrikoṇanetārau doṣayuktāvapi svayam | sambandhamātrādbalinau bhavetāṃ yogakārakau

The two leaders — the lord of a kendra and the lord of a trikoṇa — though themselves attended by blemish, become strong by the mere fact of ⟨their⟩ connection, and become yoga-kārakas.

त्रिकोणाधिपयोर्मध्ये सम्बन्धो येन केनचित् । केन्द्रनाथस्य बलिनो भवेद्यदि स योगकृत्

trikoṇādhipayormadhye sambandho yena kenacit | kendranāthasya balino bhavedyadi sa yogakṛt

If a connection with a strong lord of a kendra — by whatever means it be — arises between the two lords of the trikoṇas, then he becomes a maker of yoga.

केन्द्रत्रिकोणाधिपयोरैक्ये तौ योगकारकौ । अन्यत्रिकोणपतिना संबन्धो यदि किं पुनः

kendratrikoṇādhipayoraikye tau yogakārakau | anyatrikoṇapatinā saṃbandho yadi kiṃ punaḥ

When there is a union of the lord of a kendra and the lord of a trikoṇa, those two are yoga-kārakas; how much more so if there be a connection with the lord of the other trikoṇa!

योगकारकसम्बन्धात्पापिनोऽपि ग्रहाः स्वतः । तत्तद्भुक्त्यनुसारेण दिशेयुर्यौगिकं फलम्

yogakārakasambandhātpāpino'pi grahāḥ svataḥ | tattadbhuktyanusāreṇa diśeyuryaugikaṃ phalam

Through connection with a yoga-kāraka, even grahas that are malefic (pāpin) of themselves give the yoga-born (yaugika) fruit, each according to his own bhukti.

स्वदशायां त्रिकोणेशो भुक्तौ केन्द्रपतेः शुभम् । दिशेत्सोऽपि तथा नो चेदसंबन्धेऽपि पापकृत्

svadaśāyāṃ trikoṇeśo bhuktau kendrapateḥ śubham | diśetso'pi tathā no cedasaṃbandhe'pi pāpakṛt

In his own daśā the lord of a trikoṇa gives good in the bhukti of the lord of a kendra, and that one likewise ⟨in the converse case⟩. If it is not so, then, there being no connection, he is a doer of evil.

केन्द्राधिपत्यदोषस्तु बलवान् गुरुशुक्रयोः । मारकत्वेऽपि च तयोर्मारकस्थानसंस्थितिः

kendrādhipatyadoṣastu balavān guruśukrayoḥ | mārakatve'pi ca tayormārakasthānasaṃsthitiḥ

But the blemish of kendra-lordship is strong for Jupiter and Venus; and their maraka-power too ⟨comes⟩ of their standing in a maraka place.

बुधस्तदनु चंद्रोऽपि भवेत्तदनु तद्विधः । पापाश्चेत्केन्द्रपतयः शुभदाश्चोत्तरोत्तरम्

budhastadanu caṃdro'pi bhavettadanu tadvidhaḥ | pāpāścetkendrapatayaḥ śubhadāścottarottaram

Mercury next after them, and after him the Moon too becomes of that kind. And if malefics are lords of kendras, they are givers of good — each successively more so.

यदि केन्द्रे त्रिकोणे वा निवसेतां तमोग्रहौ । नाथेनान्यतरस्यैव संबन्धाद्योगकारकौ

yadi kendre trikoṇe vā nivasetāṃ tamograhau | nāthenānyatarasyaiva saṃbandhādyogakārakau

If the two shadowy grahas ⟨Rāhu and Ketu⟩ dwell in a kendra or in a trikoṇa, they become yoga-kārakas through connection with the lord of the one or the other alone.

तमोग्रहौ शुभारूढौऽसंबद्धौ येन केनचित् । अन्तर्दशानुरूपेण भवेतां योगकारकौ

tamograhau śubhārūḍhau'saṃbaddhau yena kenacit | antardaśānurūpeṇa bhavetāṃ yogakārakau

The two shadowy grahas, seated in an auspicious ⟨place⟩ ⟨and⟩ unconnected with any ⟨graha⟩ whatever, become yoga-kārakas in accordance with the antardaśā.

आरम्भो राजयोगस्य भवेन्मारकभुक्तिषु । प्रथयन्ति तमारभ्य क्रमशः पापभुक्तयः

ārambho rājayogasya bhavenmārakabhuktiṣu | prathayanti tamārabhya kramaśaḥ pāpabhuktayaḥ

The beginning of a rāja-yoga falls in the bhuktis of the marakas; starting from that, the bhuktis of the malefics spread it abroad in succession.

रन्ध्रस्थरन्ध्रेक्षकरन्ध्रनाथरन्ध्रत्रिभागाधिपमान्दिभेशाः । दुःखप्रदास्तेष्वपि दुर्बलो यः स नाशकारी स्वदशापहारे

randhrastharandhrekṣakarandhranātharandhratribhāgādhipamāndibheśāḥ | duḥkhapradāsteṣvapi durbalo yaḥ sa nāśakārī svadaśāpahāre

Those standing in the 8th (randhra), those aspecting the 8th, the lord of the 8th, the lord of the drekkāṇa (tribhāga) of the 8th, and the lord of the sign occupied by Māndi — ⟨these⟩ are givers of sorrow; and among them the one who is weak, he works destruction in his own daśā and apahāra.

भ्रष्टस्य तुङ्गादवरोहिसंज्ञा मध्या भवेत्सा सुहृदुच्चभागे । आरोहिणी निम्नपरिच्युतस्य नीचारिभांशेष्वधमा भवेत्सा

bhraṣṭasya tuṅgādavarohisaṃjñā madhyā bhavetsā suhṛduccabhāge | ārohiṇī nimnaparicyutasya nīcāribhāṃśeṣvadhamā bhavetsā

Of ⟨a graha⟩ fallen away from its exaltation the ⟨daśā⟩ bears the name avarohin, 'descending'; and it becomes middling when ⟨he stands⟩ in a friend's or an exaltation navāṃśa (bhāga). ⟨The daśā⟩ of one that has slipped away from its low point (nimna) is ārohiṇī, 'ascending'; but in the signs and navāṃśas of debilitation or of an enemy it becomes the lowest.

शस्तगृहे शस्तांशे नीचे रिपुभेऽस्तसंस्थिते वाऽपि । तस्य दशा मिश्रफला दशापरार्धे फलप्रदा ज्ञेया

śastagṛhe śastāṃśe nīce ripubhe'stasaṃsthite vā'pi | tasya daśā miśraphalā daśāparārdhe phalapradā jñeyā

⟨A graha⟩ in a praiseworthy house and a praiseworthy navāṃśa, ⟨yet⟩ debilitated, in an enemy's sign, or set (asta) — his daśā is of mixed fruit, and is to be known as fruit-giving in the second half of the daśā.

तत्तद्भावात्व्ययस्थस्य तद्भावव्ययपस्य च । वीर्यहीनस्य खेटस्य पाके मृत्युमवाप्नुयात्

tattadbhāvātvyayasthasya tadbhāvavyayapasya ca | vīryahīnasya kheṭasya pāke mṛtyumavāpnuyāt

In the daśā of a graha void of vigour that stands in the 12th (vyaya) from a given house, or is lord of the 12th from that house, one meets with death.

दशापतिर्लग्नगतो यदि स्यात् त्रिषट्दशैकादशगश्च लग्नात् । तत्सप्तवर्गेऽप्यथ तत्सुहृद्वा लग्ने शुभो वा शुभदा दशा स्यात्

daśāpatirlagnagato yadi syāt triṣaṭdaśaikādaśagaśca lagnāt | tatsaptavarge'pyatha tatsuhṛdvā lagne śubho vā śubhadā daśā syāt

If the lord of the daśā be placed in the lagna, or in the 3rd, the 6th, the 10th or the 11th from the lagna; or ⟨if he stand⟩ in his own seven vargas (saptavarga), or in his friend's; or if a benefic be in the lagna — the daśā will be a giver of good.

यावन्ति वर्षाणि दशा च सा स्याच्चारक्रमात्तत्र दशापतिः सः । यत्र स्थितस्तद्भवनाद्विधोस्तु स्थितेः प्रकल्प्यं सदसत्फलं हि

yāvanti varṣāṇi daśā ca sā syāccārakramāttatra daśāpatiḥ saḥ | yatra sthitastadbhavanādvidhostu sthiteḥ prakalpyaṃ sadasatphalaṃ hi

For however many years that daśā runs, ⟨mark⟩ where in the course of transit that lord of the daśā stands; and from that house, by the standing of the Moon (vidhu), the good and evil fruit is to be inferred.

दशाधिनाथस्य सुहृद्गृहस्थस्तदुच्चगो वाऽथ दशाधिनाथात् । स्मरत्रिकोणोपचयोपगश्च ददाति चन्द्रः खलु सत्फलानि

daśādhināthasya suhṛdgṛhasthastaduccago vā'tha daśādhināthāt | smaratrikoṇopacayopagaśca dadāti candraḥ khalu satphalāni

The Moon standing in the sign of a friend of the lord of the daśā, or gone to that ⟨lord's⟩ sign of exaltation, or reaching — reckoned from the lord of the daśā — the 7th (smara), the trikoṇas ⟨the 5th and the 9th⟩ and the upacayas ⟨the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th⟩: such a Moon assuredly gives good results.

उक्तेषु राशिषु गतस्य विधोः स राशिः स्याज्जन्मकालभवमूर्तिधनादिभावः । तत्तद्विवृद्धिकृदसौ कथितो नराणां तद्भावहानिकृदथेतरराशिसंस्थः

ukteṣu rāśiṣu gatasya vidhoḥ sa rāśiḥ syājjanmakālabhavamūrtidhanādibhāvaḥ | tattadvivṛddhikṛdasau kathito narāṇāṃ tadbhāvahānikṛdathetararāśisaṃsthaḥ

As for the Moon gone into the signs ⟨just⟩ named — whichever bhāva that sign is at the time of birth, the body (1st), wealth (2nd) and the rest — he is declared to work the increase of that very bhāva for men; but standing in the other signs he works the harm of that bhāva.

सारावलीमुडुदशां च वराहहोरामालोक्य जातकफलं प्रवदेन्नराणाम् । प्रश्नोदयग्रहवशादथ वा स्वजन्मराश्यादिना वदतु नास्त्यनयोर्विशेषः

sārāvalīmuḍudaśāṃ ca varāhahorāmālokya jātakaphalaṃ pravadennarāṇām | praśnodayagrahavaśādatha vā svajanmarāśyādinā vadatu nāstyanayorviśeṣaḥ

Having consulted the Sārāvalī, the Uḍudaśā and Varāha's Horā, one should declare the results of a nativity for men. Or let him speak by the rising ⟨sign⟩ of the query and the grahas ⟨standing there⟩, or by ⟨the native's⟩ own janma-rāśi and the rest — there is no difference between these two.

अपहारविभागलक्षणं तत्पंक्तिं क्रमशः स्फुटं प्रवच्मि । यदुदीरितमत्र तत्समस्तं कथयेत्स्वदशान्तरान्तरादौ

apahāravibhāgalakṣaṇaṃ tatpaṃktiṃ kramaśaḥ sphuṭaṃ pravacmi | yadudīritamatra tatsamastaṃ kathayetsvadaśāntarāntarādau

⟨I⟩ declare, clearly and in due order, the rule for dividing the sub-periods (apahāra) and their sequence. Whatever ⟨result⟩ has been stated here, all of it one should pronounce for ⟨a graha's⟩ own daśā, for the antardaśā, for the antara within that, and so on.

पाकेशाब्दहता दशेश्वरसमा नेत्राङ्कभक्ताः समाः शिष्टा रूपहता नराङ्कविहृता मासा नगैर्वासराः । छिद्रादिष्वपि चैवमेव कलयेत्पाकक्रमाच्चेद्दशानाथाद्या पुनरन्तरान्तरदशास्तत्पाकनाथक्रमाः

pākeśābdahatā daśeśvarasamā netrāṅkabhaktāḥ samāḥ śiṣṭā rūpahatā narāṅkavihṛtā māsā nagairvāsarāḥ | chidrādiṣvapi caivameva kalayetpākakramācceddaśānāthādyā punarantarāntaradaśāstatpākanāthakramāḥ

The years of the lord of the daśā, multiplied by the years of the lord of the sub-period (pāka) and divided by 120, ⟨give⟩ the years ⟨of the antardaśā⟩; the remainder multiplied by 12 and divided by 120 ⟨gives⟩ the months, and ⟨the remainder again⟩ by 30 ⟨gives⟩ the days. In the chidra ⟨sub-sub-periods⟩ and the rest also one should reckon in just this same way. Following the order of the ⟨main⟩ periods, the antardaśās begin with the lord of the daśā himself; and again the antara-within-the-antara daśās follow the order of their own pāka-lord.

महीश्वरादुपलभतेऽधिकं यशो वनाचलस्थलवसतिं धनागमम् । ज्वरोष्णरुग्जनकवियोगजं भयं निजां दशां प्रविशति तीक्ष्णदीधितौ

mahīśvarādupalabhate'dhikaṃ yaśo vanācalasthalavasatiṃ dhanāgamam | jvaroṣṇarugjanakaviyogajaṃ bhayaṃ nijāṃ daśāṃ praviśati tīkṣṇadīdhitau

He obtains abundant fame from the king, a dwelling in forest, hill and ⟨wild⟩ tract, and the coming in of wealth; ⟨also⟩ fear born of fever, of illness from heat, and of separation from the father — when the sharp-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩ enters his own daśā.

रिपुक्षयो व्यसनशमो धनागमः कृषिक्रिया गृहकरणं सुहृद्युतिः क्षयानलप्रतिहतिरर्कदायकं शशी यदा हरति जलोद्भवा रुजः

ripukṣayo vyasanaśamo dhanāgamaḥ kṛṣikriyā gṛhakaraṇaṃ suhṛdyutiḥ kṣayānalapratihatirarkadāyakaṃ śaśī yadā harati jalodbhavā rujaḥ

Destruction of enemies, the quieting of distress, the coming in of wealth, the practice of agriculture, the building of a house, union with friends, the warding off of consumption and of fire — and diseases born of water — when the Moon takes the Sun's allotted ⟨portion⟩.

रुजागमः पदविरहोऽरिपीडनं व्रणोद्भवः स्वकुलजनैर्विरोधिता महीभृतो भवति भयं धनच्युतिर्यदा कुजो हरति तदार्कवत्सरम्

rujāgamaḥ padaviraho'ripīḍanaṃ vraṇodbhavaḥ svakulajanairvirodhitā mahībhṛto bhavati bhayaṃ dhanacyutiryadā kujo harati tadārkavatsaram

The onset of disease, loss of position, affliction by enemies, the breaking out of sores, hostility with the people of one's own family, danger from the king, and the loss of wealth — when Mars then takes the year of the Sun.

रिपूदयो धनहृतिरापदुद्गमो विषाद्भयं विषयविमूढता पुनः शिरोदृशोरधिकरुगेव देहिनाम् अहौ भवेदहिमकरायुरन्तरे

ripūdayo dhanahṛtirāpadudgamo viṣādbhayaṃ viṣayavimūḍhatā punaḥ śirodṛśoradhikarugeva dehinām ahau bhavedahimakarāyurantare

The rising up of enemies, the seizing of wealth, the onset of calamity, danger from poison, and further, bewilderment about the objects of sense; and for embodied beings, severe pain indeed in the head and the eyes — ⟨when⟩ the Serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩ ⟨holds⟩ the sub-period within the Sun's ⟨period⟩.

रिपुक्षयो विविधधनाप्तिरन्वहं सुरार्चनं द्विजगुरुबन्धुपूजनम् । श्रवःश्रमो भवति च यक्ष्मरोगिता सुरार्चिते प्रविशति गोपतेर्दशाम्

ripukṣayo vividhadhanāptiranvahaṃ surārcanaṃ dvijagurubandhupūjanam | śravaḥśramo bhavati ca yakṣmarogitā surārcite praviśati gopaterdaśām

Destruction of enemies, the gaining of wealth of many kinds day after day, worship of the gods, honouring of brahmins, elders and kinsmen; ⟨but⟩ there is trouble in the ear, and consumption — when the preceptor of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ enters the daśā of the lord of rays ⟨the Sun⟩.

धनाहतिः सुतविरहः स्त्रिया रुजो गुरुव्ययः सपदि परिच्छदच्युतिः । मलिष्ठता भवति कफप्रपीडनं शनैश्चरे सवितृदशान्तरं गते

dhanāhatiḥ sutavirahaḥ striyā rujo guruvyayaḥ sapadi paricchadacyutiḥ | maliṣṭhatā bhavati kaphaprapīḍanaṃ śanaiścare savitṛdaśāntaraṃ gate

Loss of wealth, separation from a son, illnesses of the wife, heavy expenditure, the sudden loss of goods and retinue; there is extreme filthiness, and affliction by phlegm — when Saturn has entered the sub-period within the Sun's daśā.

विचर्चिका पिटकसकुष्ठकामिला विशर्धनं जठरकटिप्रपीडनम् । महीक्षयः त्रिगदभयं भवेत्तदा विधोः सुते चरति रवेरथाब्दकम्

vicarcikā piṭakasakuṣṭhakāmilā viśardhanaṃ jaṭharakaṭiprapīḍanam | mahīkṣayaḥ trigadabhayaṃ bhavettadā vidhoḥ sute carati raverathābdakam

Scab-itch, boils together with leprosy and jaundice, breaking of wind, severe pain in the belly and the hips, loss of land, and danger from disease of the three humours come about then — when the Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩ moves through the Sun's year.

सुहृद्व्ययः स्वजनकुटुम्बविग्रहो रिपोर्भयं धनहरणं पदच्युतिः । गुरोर्गदश्चरणशिरोरुगुच्चकैः शिखी यदा विशति दशां विवस्वतः

suhṛdvyayaḥ svajanakuṭumbavigraho riporbhayaṃ dhanaharaṇaṃ padacyutiḥ | gurorgadaścaraṇaśiroruguccakaiḥ śikhī yadā viśati daśāṃ vivasvataḥ

Loss of friends, quarrel with one's own people and household, danger from an enemy, the carrying off of wealth, fall from position, illness of an elder, and violent pain in the feet and the head — when Ketu enters the daśā of the Sun.

शिरोरुजा जठरगुदार्तिपीडनं कृषिक्रिया गृहधनधान्यविच्युतिः । सुतस्त्रियोरसुखमतीव देहिनां भृगोः सुते चरति रवेरथाब्दकम्

śirorujā jaṭharagudārtipīḍanaṃ kṛṣikriyā gṛhadhanadhānyavicyutiḥ | sutastriyorasukhamatīva dehināṃ bhṛgoḥ sute carati raverathābdakam

Headache, extreme pain in the belly and the anus, the doing of agricultural work, the loss of house, wealth and grain, and exceeding unhappiness for men's sons and wives — when Bhṛgu's son ⟨Venus⟩ moves through the Sun's year.

स्त्रीप्रजाप्तिरमलांशुकागमो भूसुरोत्तमसमागमो भवेत् । मातुरिष्टफलमङ्गनासुखं स्वां दशां विशति शीतदीधितौ

strīprajāptiramalāṃśukāgamo bhūsurottamasamāgamo bhavet | māturiṣṭaphalamaṅganāsukhaṃ svāṃ daśāṃ viśati śītadīdhitau

There is the gaining of female offspring, the coming of spotless garments, and meeting with the best of the earth-gods ⟨brahmins⟩; the mother's desired fruit ⟨is had⟩, and the pleasure of women — when the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩ enters his own daśā.

पित्तवह्निरुधिरोद्भवा रुजः क्लेशदुःखरिपुचोरपीडनम् । वित्तमानविहतिर्भवेत्कुजे शीतदीधितिदशान्तरं गते

pittavahnirudhirodbhavā rujaḥ kleśaduḥkharipucorapīḍanam | vittamānavihatirbhavetkuje śītadīdhitidaśāntaraṃ gate

Diseases arising from bile, fire and blood; the affliction of trouble, sorrow, enemies and thieves; there is loss of wealth and of honour — when Mars has entered the sub-period within the daśā of the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩.

तीव्रदोषरिपुवृद्धिबन्धुरुङ् मारुताशनिभयार्तिरुद्भवेत् । अन्नपानजनितज्वरोदयाश्चन्द्रवत्सरविहारके ह्यहौ

tīvradoṣaripuvṛddhibandhuruṅ mārutāśanibhayārtirudbhavet | annapānajanitajvarodayāścandravatsaravihārake hyahau

Severe blame, the increase of enemies, illness of kinsmen, and fear and distress from wind and lightning arise; and fevers produced by food and drink — when the Serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩ is disporting in the Moon's year.

दानधर्मनिरतिः सुखोदयो वस्त्रभूषणसुहृत्समागमः । राजसत्कृतिरतीव जायते कैरवप्रियवयोहरे गुरौ

dānadharmaniratiḥ sukhodayo vastrabhūṣaṇasuhṛtsamāgamaḥ | rājasatkṛtiratīva jāyate kairavapriyavayohare gurau

Devotion to giving and to dharma, the rising of happiness, the coming of clothes, ornaments and friends, and exceeding honour from the king are produced — when Jupiter takes the period of the beloved of the white lotus ⟨the Moon⟩.

नैकरोगविहतिः सुहृत्सुतस्त्रीरुजा व्यसनसंभवो महान् । प्राणहानिरथवा भवेच्छनौ मारबन्धुवयसो गतेऽन्तरम्

naikarogavihatiḥ suhṛtsutastrīrujā vyasanasaṃbhavo mahān | prāṇahānirathavā bhavecchanau mārabandhuvayaso gate'ntaram

Affliction by not one disease but many, illness of friends, sons and wife, the arising of a great calamity — or else the loss of life — when Saturn has come to the sub-period of the period of Kāma's friend ⟨the Moon⟩.

सर्वदा धनगजाश्वगोकुलप्राप्तिराभरणसौख्यसम्पदः । चित्तबोध इति जायते विधोरायुषि प्रविशति प्रबोधने

sarvadā dhanagajāśvagokulaprāptirābharaṇasaukhyasampadaḥ | cittabodha iti jāyate vidhorāyuṣi praviśati prabodhane

At all times the gaining of wealth, elephants, horses and herds of cattle, and the riches of ornaments and of comfort; awakening of the mind is thus produced — when the Awakener ⟨Mercury⟩ enters upon the Moon's allotted span.

चित्तहानिरपि सम्पदश्च्युतिर्बन्धुहानिरपि तोयजं भयम् । दासभृत्यहतिरस्ति देहिनां केतुके हरति चान्द्रमब्दकम्

cittahānirapi sampadaścyutirbandhuhānirapi toyajaṃ bhayam | dāsabhṛtyahatirasti dehināṃ ketuke harati cāndramabdakam

Loss of mental clarity, and also the fall of fortune, loss of kinsmen, and danger arising from water; there is destruction of slaves and servants for men — when Ketu takes the Moon's year.

तोययानवसुभूषणाङ्गनाविक्रयक्रयकृषिक्रियादयः । पुत्रमित्रपशुधान्यसंयुतिश्चन्द्रदायहरणोन्मुखे भृगौ

Selling and buying of water, vehicles, gold, ornaments and women, agricultural work and the like; union with sons, friends, cattle and grain — when Venus is on the point of carrying off the Moon's allotted ⟨period⟩.

rājamānanamatīva śūratā rogaśāntiraripakṣavicyutiḥ | pittavātarugine gate tadā syācchaśāṅkaparivatsarāntaram

Honour from the king, exceeding valour, the quieting of disease, the falling away of the enemy's party, and diseases of bile and wind — when the Sun has gone ⟨into it⟩; that then is the sub-period within the Moon's year.

पित्तोष्णरुग्व्रणभयं सहजैर्वियोगः क्षेत्रप्रवादजनितार्थविभूतिसिद्धिः । ज्ञात्यग्निशत्रुनृपचोरजनैर्विरोधो धात्रीसुतो हरति चेच्छरदं स्वकीयाम्

Danger of disease from bile and heat and of wounds, separation from brothers, the winning of wealth and abundance produced by land and by litigation, and hostility with kinsmen, fire, enemies, kings and thieves — if the Earth's son ⟨Mars⟩ takes his own year.

शस्त्राग्निचोररिपुभूपभयं विषार्तिः कुक्ष्यक्षिशीर्षजगदो गुरुबन्धुहानिः । प्राणव्ययोऽथ यदिवा विपुलापदो वा वक्रायुरन्तरगते भुजगाधिनाथे

Danger from weapons, fire, thieves, enemies and kings; injury by poison; diseases arising in the belly, the eyes and the head; loss of elders and kinsmen; the spending of the life-breath itself, or else vast calamities — when the lord of serpents ⟨Rāhu⟩ has gone into the sub-period within the span of the crooked one ⟨Mars⟩.

द्विजविबुधसमर्चा तीर्थपुण्यानुसेवा सततमतिथिपूजा पुत्रमित्रादिवृद्धिः । श्रवणरुगतिमात्रं श्लेष्मरोगोद्भवो वा भवतिकुजदशान्तः संगते वागधीशे

Full worship of brahmins and of gods, resort to holy places and to acts of merit, unceasing honouring of guests, increase of sons, friends and the rest; ⟨but⟩ excessive pain in the ear, or the outbreak of a phlegmatic disease — when the lord of speech ⟨Jupiter⟩ has come within Mars's daśā.

उपर्युपरिविनाशः स्वात्मजस्त्रीगुरूणामगणितविपदन्तर्दुःखमर्थोपहानिः । वसुहरणमरिभ्यो भीतिरुष्णानिलाग्निर्भवति कुजदशायामर्कजे सम्प्रयाते

Destruction, one upon another, of one's own children, wife and elders; calamities beyond counting; inward grief; the loss of wealth; the carrying off of riches by enemies; fear from heat, wind and fire — this comes about in Mars's daśā when the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩ has gone forward ⟨into it⟩.

अरिभयमुरुचोरोपद्रवोऽथार्थहानिः पशुगजतुरगाणां विप्लवोऽमित्रयोगः । नृपकृतपरिपीडा शूद्रवैरोद्भवो वा विशति शशितनूजे विश्वधात्रीसुतायुः

Fear of enemies, great harassment from thieves, then loss of wealth, ruin of cattle, elephants and horses, association with those who are no friends, harassment inflicted by the king, or the arising of enmity with śūdras — when the Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩ enters the span of the son of the All-Sustaining Earth ⟨Mars⟩.

अशनिभयमकस्मादग्निशस्त्रप्रपीडा विगमनमथ देशाद्वित्तनाशोऽथवा स्यात् । अपगमनमसुभ्यो योषितो वा विनाशः प्रविशति यदि केतुः क्रूरनेत्रायुरन्तम्

aśanibhayamakasmādagniśastraprapīḍā vigamanamatha deśādvittanāśo'thavā syāt | apagamanamasubhyo yoṣito vā vināśaḥ praviśati yadi ketuḥ krūranetrāyurantam

Danger from lightning, sudden affliction from fire and weapon, departure from one's country, or else destruction of wealth; the going away of the vital breaths, or the destruction of the wife — if Ketu enters within the span of the cruel-eyed one ⟨Mars⟩.

युधि जनितविमानं विप्रवासः स्वदेशाद्वसुहृतिरपि चोरैर्वामनेत्रोपरोधः । परिजनपरिहानिर्जायते मानवानामपहरति यदायुर्भौमजं भार्गवेन्द्रः

Disgrace incurred in battle, dwelling abroad away from one's own country, the seizing of wealth by thieves as well, obstruction of the left eye, and loss of attendants befall men — when the chief of the Bhārgavas ⟨Venus⟩ carries off Mars's span.

नृपकृतपरिपूजा युद्धलब्धप्रभावः परिजनधनधान्यश्रीमदन्तःपुरं च । अतिविलसितवृत्तिः साहसादाप्तलक्ष्मीस्तिमिरभिदि कुजायुर्दायसंहारिणीति

Full honour done by the king, power won in war, attendants, wealth, grain, prosperity and a harem; a mode of life of great brilliance, and fortune obtained by daring — so it is when the sunderer of darkness ⟨the Sun⟩ takes over Mars's allotted span.

विविधधनसुताप्तिर्विप्रयोगोऽरिवर्गैर्वसनशयनभूषारत्नसम्पत्प्रसूतिः । भवति गुरुजनार्तिर्गुल्मपित्तप्रपीडा धरणितनयवर्षं शीतगौ सम्प्रयाते

The gaining of wealth of many kinds and of sons, separation from the ranks of enemies, the yielding up of clothes, bedding, ornaments, jewels and riches; there is distress of elders, and affliction of gulma ⟨abdominal swelling⟩ and of bile — when the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩ has gone forward into the year of the Earth's son ⟨Mars⟩.

विषाम्बुरुग्दुष्टभुजङ्गदर्शनं पराबलासंयुतिरिष्टविच्युतिः । अरिष्टवाग्दुष्टजनव्यथा भवेद्विधुंतुदेनापहृते स्ववत्सरे

Disease from poison and from water, the sight of a vicious serpent, union with another man's woman, the falling away of what is dear; there is inauspicious speech and torment from wicked people — when the Moon-tormentor ⟨Rāhu⟩ carries off his own year.

The advent of comfort, worship of the gods and of brahmins, freedom from disease, union with fair-eyed women, and the occasion for enquiry into the meaning of the holy śāstras — when Bṛhaspati ⟨Jupiter⟩ has come within the dāya ⟨daśā⟩ of the foe of the gods ⟨Rāhu⟩.

समीरपित्तप्रगदक्षतिस्तनौ तनूजयोषित्सहजैश्च विग्रहः । स्वभृत्यनाशश्च पदच्युतिर्भवेदितिप्रजायुः प्रविशत्यथार्कजे

Grievous illness from wind and bile, a wound on the body, quarrel with sons, wife and brothers, the ruin of one's own servants, and fall from position — when Saturn ⟨the Sun's son⟩ then enters the span of Diti's offspring ⟨Rāhu⟩.

सुतस्वसिद्धिः सुहृदां समागमो मनोविनिन्द्यत्वमतीव जायते । पटुक्रियाभूषणकौशलादयो भुजङ्गसंवत्सरहारिणीन्दुजे

Attainment of children and of wealth, the meeting of friends, and an exceedingly contemptible turn of mind arise; also adroitness in action, skill with ornament and the like — when Induja ⟨Mercury⟩ carries off the year of the Serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩.

ज्वराग्निशस्त्रारिभयं शिरोरुजा शरीरकम्पः स्वसुहृद्गुरुव्यथा । विषव्रणार्तिः कलहः सुहृज्जनैरहीन्द्रदायान्तरगे शिखाधरे

Acquisition of a wife, the tending of the couch, the coming of horses, elephants and land; the onset of phlegmatic and windy ⟨disorders⟩, and hostility with one's own people — when Bhṛgu ⟨Venus⟩ carries off the span of the Serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩.

अरिव्यथा स्यादतिपीडनं दृशोर्विषाग्निशस्त्राहतिरापदुद्गमः । वधूसुतार्तिर्नृपतेर्महद्भयं भुजङ्गवर्षे तिमिरारिणा हृते

There will be affliction from enemies, intense pain in the eyes, injury by poison, fire and weapon, the springing up of calamity, affliction to wife and sons, and great danger from the king — when the year of the Serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩ is taken by the foe of darkness ⟨the Sun⟩.

वधूविनाशः कलहो मनोरुजा कृषिक्रियावित्तपशुप्रजाक्षयः । सुहृद्विपत्तिः सलिलाद्भयं भवेद्विधौ दशाभक्तरि देवविद्विषः

Destruction of the wife, quarrel, sickness of mind, ruin of farm-work, wealth, cattle and offspring, calamity to friends, and danger from water occur when the Moon becomes the sharer of the daśā of the gods' enemy ⟨Rāhu⟩.

नृपाग्निचोरास्त्रभयं शरीरिणां शरीरनाशो यदि वा महारुजः । पदभ्रमो हृन्नयनप्रपीडनं यदात्र सर्पायुषि संचरेत्कुजः

Danger from the king, fire, thieves and weapons for embodied beings; destruction of the body, or else a grievous disease; unsettling of one's position; affliction of the heart and of the eyes — when here Kuja ⟨Mars⟩ moves within the span of the Serpent ⟨Rāhu⟩.

सौभाग्यकान्तिबहुमानगुणोदयः स्यात्सत्पुत्रसिद्धिरवनीपतिपूजनं च । आचार्यसाधुजनसंयुतिरिष्टसिद्धिः संवत्सरं हरति देवगुरौ स्वकीयम्

Good fortune, beauty, high esteem and the rising of good qualities will be his; the obtaining of a worthy son, and honour from the lord of the earth; the company of teachers and of good men, and the fulfilment of what is desired — when the preceptor of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ takes his own year.

वेश्याङ्गनामदकृदासवदोषसङ्ग उत्कर्षसौख्यसकुटुम्बपशुप्रपीडा । अर्थव्ययोरुभयमक्षिजरुक्सुतार्ति जैवीं दशां विशति दैनकरे नराणाम्

Attachment to the vices of harlots and of maddening liquor; eminence and comfort, ⟨yet⟩ affliction to family and cattle; expenditure of wealth, great fear, disease of the eye and distress to sons — these come to men when ⟨Saturn,⟩ the maker of wretchedness, enters the Jovian daśā.

स्त्रीद्यूतमद्यजमहाव्यसनं त्रिदोषैः केचिद्वदन्त्यपि च केवलमङ्गलाप्तिः । देवद्विजार्चनसुतार्थसुखप्रयोगैर्गीर्वाणपूजितदशां हरतीन्दुसूनौ

Great ruin born of women, gambling and wine, and ⟨disorder⟩ of the three humours — so some declare; and also that there is nothing but auspiciousness, through the worship of gods and brahmins and the enjoyment of sons, wealth and happiness — when Indusūnu ⟨Mercury⟩ carries off the daśā of him whom the gods honour ⟨Jupiter⟩.

शस्त्रव्रणं भवति भृत्यजनैर्विरोधश्चित्तव्यथा तनययोषिदुपद्रवश्च । प्राणच्युतिर्गुरुसुहृज्जनविप्रयोगः सौरेड्यमायुरपहृत्य ददाति केतुः

Victory over the enemy, the gaining of honour from the king and of fame, fierceness ⟨of temper⟩, the acquisition of men, horses and vehicles, and in high degree every prosperity of guild, agrahāra, town and realm — when the Sun has carried off the span of Ucathya's brother ⟨Jupiter⟩.

Many women, destruction of enemies, gain of wealth, gain from agriculture and from saleable goods and of the most exalted fame; and exceeding devotion to the worship of gods and brahmins arises for men — when the lord of night ⟨the Moon⟩ takes away the guru's daśā.

The gratifying of relations, gain of wealth from the host of enemies, good fields and worthy deeds, and here a far-famed authority; a slight hurt to an elder, or a severe injury to the eye — when the son of the earth ⟨Mars⟩ carries off the year of the noble one ⟨Jupiter⟩.

बन्धूपतप्तिरुरुमानसरुग्गदार्तिश्चोराद्भयं गुरुगदो जठरोद्भवो वा । राजेन्द्रपीडनमरिव्यसनं स्वनाशः सम्पद्यते हरति सूरिदशां सुरारौ

⟨A man⟩ is joined to the happiness of friends, wife and children; a heap of wealth is produced by agriculture and by water-craft; auspicious fame arises for embodied beings — when the son of Bhṛgu ⟨Venus⟩ carries off Yama's ⟨Saturn's⟩ dāya.

sutasukhādibahiḥ sthitiragnijaṃ bhayamatīva vināśanamaṅgaruk | api ca vāravadhūjanasaṃyutiḥ śikhini yātyalamauśanasīm daśām

Being placed outside the happiness of sons and the rest; fear from fire; utter ruin; disease of the body; and consorting with courtesans besides — when the crested one ⟨Ketu⟩ enters in full the daśā of Uśanas ⟨Venus⟩.

दशापहारेषु फलं यदुक्तं वर्णाधिकारानुगुणं वदन्तु । छिद्रेषु सूक्ष्मेष्वपि तत्फलाप्तिः छायाङ्कवार्ताश्रवणानि वा स्युः

daśāpahāreṣu phalaṃ yaduktaṃ varṇādhikārānuguṇaṃ vadantu | chidreṣu sūkṣmeṣvapi tatphalāptiḥ chāyāṅkavārtāśravaṇāni vā syuḥ

The fruit that has been declared for the daśās and the apahāras ⟨sub-periods⟩ — let ⟨those who know⟩ pronounce it in keeping with ⟨the native's⟩ class and station. In the subtle chidras too that same fruit is obtained; or else there may be ⟨only⟩ a shadowy trace of it, or news of such things heard.

दस्रादितः पादवशेन मेषान्मीनांशकान्तं क्रमशोऽपसव्यम् । कीटाद्धयान्तं गणयेच्च सव्यमार्गेण पादक्रमशोऽजतारात्

dasrāditaḥ pādavaśena meṣānmīnāṃśakāntaṃ kramaśo'pasavyam | kīṭāddhayāntaṃ gaṇayecca savyamārgeṇa pādakramaśo'jatārāt

From Aśvinī onward, by ⟨nakṣatra⟩ pādas, ⟨count the signs⟩ in order from Meṣa to the end of the Mīna aṃśaka — that is the apasavya ⟨course⟩. And from Kīṭa ⟨Vṛścika⟩ to the end of Haya ⟨Dhanus⟩ one should count by the savya path, pāda after pāda, ⟨beginning⟩ from the star of Aja ⟨Rohiṇī⟩.

एवं भूयाच्चापसव्यं च सव्यं भानि त्रीणि त्रीणि विद्यात्क्रमेण । तद्राशीशप्रोक्तवर्षैर्दशा स्यादेवं प्राहुः कालचक्रे महान्तः

evaṃ bhūyāccāpasavyaṃ ca savyaṃ bhāni trīṇi trīṇi vidyātkrameṇa | tadrāśīśaproktavarṣairdaśā syādevaṃ prāhuḥ kālacakre mahāntaḥ

Thus shall it be apasavya and savya ⟨by turns⟩: one should know ⟨the nakṣatras⟩ three by three, in order. With the years declared for the lord of that rāśi ⟨runs⟩ its daśā — thus the great ones declare in the Kālacakra.

मनुः परः सनिर्धनिर्नृपस्तपो वने क्रमात् । दिवाकरादिवत्सराः शुभाशुभाप्तिहेतवः

manuḥ paraḥ sanirdhanirnṛpastapo vane kramāt | divākarādivatsarāḥ śubhāśubhāptihetavaḥ

manu ⟨5⟩, para ⟨21⟩, sani ⟨7⟩, dhani ⟨9⟩, nṛpa ⟨10⟩, tapas ⟨16⟩, vana ⟨4⟩ — in order ⟨these are⟩ the years of ⟨the grahas⟩ beginning with the Sun ⟨that is: Sun 5, Moon 21, Mars 7, Mercury 9, Jupiter 10, Venus 16, Saturn 4⟩; and these are the means of ⟨knowing⟩ the obtaining of the auspicious and the inauspicious.

दशापहारादिककालचक्रे वाक्यानि दस्रादिपदादिजानि । वक्ष्यामि वर्णैर्नवभिर्भमाने राशीशवर्षैः परमायुरत्र

daśāpahārādikakālacakre vākyāni dasrādipadādijāni | vakṣyāmi varṇairnavabhirbhamāne rāśīśavarṣaiḥ paramāyuratra

In the Kālacakra ⟨reckoning⟩, ⟨made⟩ of daśās, apahāras and the rest, I shall declare the vākyas that belong to the pādas ⟨of the nakṣatras⟩ beginning with Aśvinī — by nine syllables ⟨each, giving⟩ the measures of the signs; and here the maximum life ⟨follows⟩ from the years of the lords of those signs.

पौरं गावो मित सन्दिग्धं नक्षत्रेन्दुः स तु भूशूलम् । रूपेत्रक्षन्निधयोरङ्गे वाणी चस्थं दधि नक्षत्रम्

pauraṃ gāvo mita sandigdhaṃ nakṣatrenduḥ sa tu bhūśūlam | rūpetrakṣannidhayoraṅge vāṇī casthaṃ dadhi nakṣatram

⟨The vākyas of the four pādas of Aśvinī:⟩ pauraṃ gāvo mita sandigdhaṃ ⟨= 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9⟩; nakṣatrenduḥ sa tu bhūśūlam ⟨= 10, 11, 12, 8, 7, 6, 4, 5, 3⟩; rūpetrakṣannidhayoraṅge ⟨= 2, 1, 12, 11, 10, 9, 1, 2, 3⟩; vāṇī casthaṃ dadhi nakṣatram ⟨= 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12⟩.

dāsatveśo gaurīputraṃ kṣannidhikāro gobhūśeṣam | saudadhinakṣatrehāsanto bhaumaguruḥ putrākṣonādhiḥ

⟨The vākyas of the four pādas of Bharaṇī:⟩ dāsa⟨ta⟩veśo gaurīputraṃ ⟨= 8, 7, 6, 4, 5, 3, 2, 1, 12⟩; kṣannidhikāro gobhūśeṣam ⟨= 11, 10, 9, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6⟩; saudadhinakṣatrehāsanto ⟨= 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 8, 7, 6⟩; bhaumaguruḥ putrākṣonādhiḥ ⟨= 4, 5, 3, 2, 1, 12, 11, 10, 9⟩.

These vākyas are those of the two nakṣatras Aśvinī and Yāmya ⟨Bharaṇī⟩; and Aśvinī's ⟨vākyas⟩ pass also to the star of Agni ⟨Kṛttikā⟩ in the apasavya ⟨triad⟩. In the savya ⟨triad⟩, ⟨the vākyas⟩ of Aja ⟨Rohiṇī⟩ and Indu ⟨Mṛgaśiras⟩ are those about to be stated; and among those vākyas, those of Indu ⟨Mṛgaśiras⟩ ⟨serve⟩ once again for Raudra ⟨Ārdrā⟩.

धेनुः क्षेत्रे पुरगो शंभुस्तासां जत्रु क्षन्निधि दासी । चर्माभोगी रायधिनाक्षस्त्रीपौराङ्गी शिवतीर्थाब्जे

dhenuḥ kṣetre purago śaṃbhustāsāṃ jatru kṣannidhi dāsī | carmābhogī rāyadhinākṣastrīpaurāṅgī śivatīrthābje

⟨The vākyas of the four pādas of Rohiṇī:⟩ dhenuḥ kṣetre purago śaṃbhuḥ ⟨= 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 5, 4⟩; stāsāṃ jatru kṣannidhi dāsī ⟨= 6, 7, 8, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7⟩; carmābhogī rāyadhinākṣaḥ ⟨= 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 9, 10, 11⟩; strīpaurāṅgī śivatīrthābje ⟨= 12, 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 6, 7, 8⟩.

trakṣanidhirdā sūciśaṃbho saurayadhī nakṣatraṃ pāram | gośivatīrthe dātrikṣnno dhīhasitāṃśubhorgī ramyā

⟨The vākyas of the four pādas of Mṛgaśiras:⟩ trakṣanidhirdā sūciśaṃbho ⟨= 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4⟩; ⟨gau⟩rayadhī nakṣatraṃ pāram ⟨= 3, 2, 1, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2⟩; gośivatīrthe dātrikṣanno ⟨= 3, 5, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 11, 10⟩; dhīhasitāṃśubhorgī ramyā ⟨= 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1⟩.

नक्षत्रपादैष्यघटी समुत्था पूर्वा दशा तत्पतिवर्षजाता । पूर्वोक्तपादक्रमशोऽत्र विद्यात्केषांचिदेवं मतमाहुरार्या

nakṣatrapādaiṣyaghaṭī samutthā pūrvā daśā tatpativarṣajātā | pūrvoktapādakramaśo'tra vidyātkeṣāṃcidevaṃ matamāhurāryā

The first daśā arises from the ghaṭīs still to be traversed of the ⟨natal⟩ nakṣatra-pāda, and is born of the years of that ⟨pāda's⟩ lord; ⟨thereafter⟩ one should know ⟨them⟩ here in the order of the pādas stated before. The noble ones say that this is the view of some.

दस्रादिपादप्रभृतीनि भानां वाक्यानि यान्यक्षरपंक्तिजानि । तेषां क्रमेणैव दशा प्रकल्प्या वाक्यक्रमं साध्विति केचिदाहुः

dasrādipādaprabhṛtīni bhānāṃ vākyāni yānyakṣarapaṃktijāni | teṣāṃ krameṇaiva daśā prakalpyā vākyakramaṃ sādhviti kecidāhuḥ

The vākyas of the nakṣatras, beginning with the pādas from Aśvinī, which arise as rows of syllables — the daśā is to be laid out by their order alone. Some say that the vākya's order is the sound ⟨one⟩.

वाक्यक्रमे कर्क्यलिमीनसन्धौ मण्डूकगत्यश्वरप्लुतिश्च । सिंहावलोकस्त्रिविधा तदानीं दशान्तरं दुःखफलप्रदं स्यात्

vākyakrame karkyalimīnasandhau maṇḍūkagatyaśvaraplutiśca | siṃhāvalokastrividhā tadānīṃ daśāntaraṃ duḥkhaphalapradaṃ syāt

In the vākya order, at the junctions of Karkī ⟨Karka⟩, Ali ⟨Vṛścika⟩ and Mīna there are the frog's gait ⟨maṇḍūka-gati⟩, the horse's leap ⟨aśva-pluti⟩ and the lion's glance ⟨siṃhāvalokana⟩ — threefold; the passage from one daśā to another at that time gives painful results.

तद्वाक्यवर्णक्रमशोपहारवर्षाहते तत्परमायुराप्ते । तदा दशायामपहारवर्षसंख्याश्च मासान्दिवसान्वदेयुः

tadvākyavarṇakramaśopahāravarṣāhate tatparamāyurāpte | tadā daśāyāmapahāravarṣasaṃkhyāśca māsāndivasānvadeyuḥ

The apahāra years, ⟨taken⟩ in the order of the syllables of that vākya, being multiplied ⟨into the daśā years⟩ and divided by that maximum life — then in ⟨that⟩ daśā they should declare the number of years of the apahāra, and the months and days ⟨likewise⟩.

वाक्येषु यावच्छरदां प्रमाणं वदन्ति तावत्परमायुरत्र । मेषादनीकं मदनं गजेन तुन्दः पुनश्चैवमुदीरितं तत्

vākyeṣu yāvaccharadāṃ pramāṇaṃ vadanti tāvatparamāyuratra | meṣādanīkaṃ madanaṃ gajena tundaḥ punaścaivamudīritaṃ tat

In the vākyas, as many autumns as they state, so much is the maximum life here: from Meṣa ⟨onward⟩ — anīka ⟨100⟩, madana ⟨85⟩, gaja ⟨83⟩, tunda ⟨86⟩ — and again the same is declared ⟨over and over⟩.

महादशासु यत्फलं प्रकीर्तितं मया पुरा । तदेव योजयेद् बुधो दशासु चैवमादिषु

mahādaśāsu yatphalaṃ prakīrtitaṃ mayā purā | tadeva yojayed budho daśāsu caivamādiṣu

Whatever result I declared before for the mahādaśās, just that the wise ⟨astrologer⟩ should apply to these daśās and the like.

जन्मर्क्षात्परतस्तु पञ्चमभवाऽथोत्पन्नसंज्ञा दशा स्यादाधानदशाऽप्यतोऽष्टमभवात् क्षेमान्महाख्या दशा । आसामेव दशावसानसमये मृत्युप्रदा स्यान्नृणां स्वल्पानल्पसमायुषां त्रिविधपञ्चर्क्षेशदायान्तिमे

janmarkṣātparatastu pañcamabhavā'thotpannasaṃjñā daśā syādādhānadaśā'pyato'ṣṭamabhavāt kṣemānmahākhyā daśā | āsāmeva daśāvasānasamaye mṛtyupradā syānnṛṇāṃ svalpānalpasamāyuṣāṃ trividhapañcarkṣeśadāyāntime

From the janma-nakṣatra onward, the daśā arising from the 5th ⟨star⟩ is named Utpannā; the Ādhāna daśā likewise from the 8th from it; and from the Kṣema ⟨star, the 4th⟩ the daśā called Mahā. At the ending of these very daśās it becomes death-giving for men — for those of short, of long and of middling life, at the very end of the allotment of the lord of the fifth star in ⟨each of⟩ the three kinds ⟨of daśā⟩.

एकं द्वे नव विंशतिर्धृतिकृतिः पञ्चाशदेषां क्रमात् चन्द्रारेन्दुजशुक्रजीवदिनकृद्दैवाकरीणां समाः । स्वैः स्वैः पुष्टफला निसर्गजनितैः पक्तिर्दशायाः क्रमादन्ते लग्नदशा शुभेति यवना नेच्छन्ति केचित्तथा

ekaṃ dve nava viṃśatirdhṛtikṛtiḥ pañcāśadeṣāṃ kramāt candrārendujaśukrajīvadinakṛddaivākarīṇāṃ samāḥ | svaiḥ svaiḥ puṣṭaphalā nisargajanitaiḥ paktirdaśāyāḥ kramādante lagnadaśā śubheti yavanā necchanti kecittathā

One, two, nine, twenty, dhṛti ⟨18⟩, kṛti ⟨20⟩, fifty — these in order are the years of the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, the Sun and Saturn ⟨the Sun's son⟩. ⟨These daśās⟩ bear full fruit by their own naturally produced ⟨strengths⟩; the ripening of the daśā ⟨proceeds⟩ in ⟨this⟩ order; at the end ⟨comes⟩ the daśā of the lagna, which is auspicious — so the Yavanas ⟨hold⟩; some do not accept it so.

लिप्तीकृत्य भजेद्र्ग्रहं खखजिनैस्तच्छिष्टमायुष्कला आशाखाश्विहृताब्दमदिवसाः सत्योदितेऽम्शायुषी । वक्रिण्युच्चगते त्रिसङ्गुणमिदं स्वांशत्रिभागोत्तमे द्विघ्नं नीचगतेऽर्धमप्यथ दलं मौढ्ये सितार्की विना

liptīkṛtya bhajedrgrahaṃ khakhajinaistacchiṣṭamāyuṣkalā āśākhāśvihṛtābdamadivasāḥ satyodite'mśāyuṣī | vakriṇyuccagate trisaṅguṇamidaṃ svāṃśatribhāgottame dvighnaṃ nīcagate'rdhamapyatha dalaṃ mauḍhye sitārkī vinā

Having reduced ⟨a graha's longitude⟩ to minutes, one should divide the graha by kha-kha-jina ⟨2400⟩; the remainder is the kalās of life. Divided by āśā-kha-aśvi ⟨200⟩ ⟨they yield⟩ years, months ⟨and⟩ days — ⟨this is⟩ the aṃśa-āyus declared by Satya. For one retrograde or gone to exaltation this is trebled; in its own aṃśa, its own third ⟨drekkāṇa⟩ or vargottama, doubled; for one gone to debilitation, half; and half again in combustion ⟨mauḍhya⟩ — except for Venus and Saturn.

सर्वार्द्धत्रिकृतेषुषण्मितलवह्रासोऽसतामुत्क्रमाद्रिःफात्सत्सु दलं तदा हरति बल्येको बहुष्वेकभे । त्र्यंशोनं रिपुभे विना क्षितिसुतं सत्योपदेशे दशा लग्नस्यांशसमा बलिन्युदयभेऽस्यात्रापि तुल्यापि च

sarvārddhatrikṛteṣuṣaṇmitalavahrāso'satāmutkramādriḥphātsatsu dalaṃ tadā harati balyeko bahuṣvekabhe | tryaṃśonaṃ ripubhe vinā kṣitisutaṃ satyopadeśe daśā lagnasyāṃśasamā balinyudayabhe'syātrāpi tulyāpi ca

The loss ⟨of the āyurdāya⟩ of malefics is by portions measured as the whole, a half, a third, a fourth ⟨kṛti⟩, a fifth ⟨iṣu⟩ and a sixth ⟨ṣaṭ⟩, in reverse order from the riḥpha ⟨the 12th house — that is, the 12th, 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th and 7th⟩; for benefics ⟨so placed⟩ it is then half. When there are many ⟨grahas⟩ in one sign, the strong one alone takes ⟨the loss⟩. In an enemy's sign ⟨the āyus is⟩ less by a third, except for Mars ⟨kṣitisuta⟩. In Satya's teaching the daśā of the lagna equals its ⟨risen⟩ aṃśas when the rising sign is strong; and here too ⟨the deductions⟩ hold for it alike.

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

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

Satya's teaching is the better one here; but ⟨some⟩ make ⟨it⟩ unfit by many multiplications. The masters' ⟨rule⟩ here, in the matter of many multiplications: only one — that which is the greatest — is to be carried out.

धेयं शूर शके श्रियं स्मय परे निद्राः समा भास्करात् पिण्डाख्यायुषि पूर्ववच्च हरणं सर्वं विदध्यादिह । लग्ने पापिनि भं विनोदयलवैर्निघ्नं नताङ्गैर्हृतं त्याज्यं सौम्यनिरीक्षितेऽर्धमृणमत्रायुष्यभिज्ञा विदुः

dheyaṃ śūra śake śriyaṃ smaya pare nidrāḥ samā bhāskarāt piṇḍākhyāyuṣi pūrvavacca haraṇaṃ sarvaṃ vidadhyādiha | lagne pāpini bhaṃ vinodayalavairnighnaṃ natāṅgairhṛtaṃ tyājyaṃ saumyanirīkṣite'rdhamṛṇamatrāyuṣyabhijñā viduḥ

dheya ⟨19⟩, śūra ⟨25⟩, śaka ⟨15⟩, śriya ⟨12⟩, smaya ⟨15⟩, para ⟨21⟩, nidrā ⟨20⟩ — ⟨these are⟩ the years ⟨reckoned⟩ from the Sun ⟨onward⟩. In the piṇḍa-named āyus one should here make every reduction as before. When a malefic is in the lagna, ⟨the āyus⟩ multiplied by the risen degrees, the sign left out, and divided by natāṅga ⟨360⟩, is to be given up; when ⟨the lagna is⟩ aspected by a benefic the debt is half ⟨of that⟩ — so those who know āyus hold here.

लग्नदशामंशसमां बलवत्यंशे वदन्ति पैण्डाख्ये । बलयुक्तं यदि लग्नं राशिसमैवात्र नांशोत्था

lagnadaśāmaṃśasamāṃ balavatyaṃśe vadanti paiṇḍākhye | balayuktaṃ yadi lagnaṃ rāśisamaivātra nāṃśotthā

In the piṇḍa-named ⟨āyus⟩ they declare the daśā of the lagna to be equal to the aṃśas when the aṃśa is strong. If the lagna ⟨rāśi⟩ is possessed of strength, then here it is equal to the rāśi ⟨count⟩ and not ⟨taken⟩ from the aṃśa.

हरणं नीचेऽर्द्धमृणं स्यात्पूर्णं प्रोक्तवर्षमुच्चगृहे । पैण्डादौ द्व्यन्तरगे प्राज्ञैस्त्रैराशिकं चिन्त्यम्

haraṇaṃ nīce'rddhamṛṇaṃ syātpūrṇaṃ proktavarṣamuccagṛhe | paiṇḍādau dvyantarage prājñaistrairāśikaṃ cintyam

⟨As for⟩ the reduction: in debilitation the debt is half; in the exaltation sign the full stated years ⟨stand⟩. In the piṇḍa ⟨āyus⟩ and the rest, when ⟨a graha⟩ stands between the two, the wise should work it by the rule of three ⟨trairāśika⟩.

पैण्डाख्यमायुर्ब्रुवते प्रधानं मणित्थचाणक्यमयादयश्च । एतन्न साध्वित्यवदद्भदन्तो वराहसूर्यस्य तथैव वाक्यम्

paiṇḍākhyamāyurbruvate pradhānaṃ maṇitthacāṇakyamayādayaśca | etanna sādhvityavadadbhadanto varāhasūryasya tathaiva vākyam

Maṇittha, Cāṇakya, Maya and others declare the piṇḍa-named āyus to be the principal one. 'This is not sound', said the venerable ⟨teacher⟩; and the word of Varāha ⟨and⟩ Sūrya is just the same.

सूर्यादिकानां स्वमतेन जीवशर्मा स्वरांशं परमायुषोऽत्र । अस्यापि सर्वं हरणं विधेयं पूर्वोक्तवल्लग्नदशामपीह

sūryādikānāṃ svamatena jīvaśarmā svarāṃśaṃ paramāyuṣo'tra | asyāpi sarvaṃ haraṇaṃ vidheyaṃ pūrvoktavallagnadaśāmapīha

For ⟨the grahas⟩ beginning with the Sun, Jīvaśarman by his own doctrine ⟨assigns⟩ here a svara-portion ⟨a seventh⟩ of the maximum life. For this too the whole reduction is to be made, and here also the lagna-daśā, as stated before.

नॄणां द्वादशवत्सरा दशहता ह्यायुःप्रमाणं परैराख्यातं परमं शनेस्त्रिभगणं यावत्परैरीरितम् । कैश्चिच्चन्द्रसहस्रदर्शनमिह प्रोक्तं कलौ किन्तु यत् वेदोक्तं शरदः शतं हि परमायुर्दायमाचक्ष्महे

nṝṇāṃ dvādaśavatsarā daśahatā hyāyuḥpramāṇaṃ parairākhyātaṃ paramaṃ śanestribhagaṇaṃ yāvatparairīritam | kaiściccandrasahasradarśanamiha proktaṃ kalau kintu yat vedoktaṃ śaradaḥ śataṃ hi paramāyurdāyamācakṣmahe

Twelve years multiplied by ten ⟨120⟩ has been declared by others as the measure of life, the highest; by others it is said to be as much as three revolutions of Saturn; by some, the beholding of a thousand moons is stated here. But since the Veda says a hundred autumns, that is what we declare to be the maximum āyurdāya in the Kali ⟨age⟩.

लग्नादित्येन्दुकानामधिकबलवतः स्याद्दशादौ ततोऽन्या तत्केन्द्रादिस्थितानामिह बहुषु पुनर्वीर्यतो वीर्यसाम्ये । बह्वायुर्वर्षदातुः प्रथममिनवशाच्चोदितस्याब्दसाम्ये वीर्यं किन्त्वत्र सन्धिग्रहविवरहतं भावसन्ध्यन्तराप्तम्

lagnādityendukānāmadhikabalavataḥ syāddaśādau tato'nyā tatkendrādisthitānāmiha bahuṣu punarvīryato vīryasāmye | bahvāyurvarṣadātuḥ prathamaminavaśāccoditasyābdasāmye vīryaṃ kintvatra sandhigrahavivarahataṃ bhāvasandhyantarāptam

Of the lagna, the Sun and the Moon, whichever has the greater strength gets the first daśā; after that another — ⟨those⟩ standing in a kendra and so on from it. Where there are many here, again ⟨precedence⟩ by strength; when strength is equal, ⟨precedence to⟩ the giver of the greater years of life; when the years too are equal, to the one that has risen first by the Sun's ⟨power⟩. But strength here is ⟨the quantity⟩ multiplied by the interval between the sandhi and the graha, and divided by the interval between the bhāva ⟨-madhya⟩ and the sandhi.

अंशोद्भवं लग्नबलात्प्रसाध्यमायुश्च पिण्डोद्भवमर्कवीर्यात् । नैसर्गिकं चन्द्रबलात्प्रसाध्यं ब्रूमस्त्रयाणामपि वीर्यसाम्ये

aṃśodbhavaṃ lagnabalātprasādhyamāyuśca piṇḍodbhavamarkavīryāt | naisargikaṃ candrabalātprasādhyaṃ brūmastrayāṇāmapi vīryasāmye

The āyus arising from the aṃśa is to be established from the strength of the lagna, and that arising from the piṇḍa from the Sun's strength; the naisargika ⟨āyus⟩ is to be established from the Moon's strength. We shall now speak ⟨of the case⟩ where all three are equal in strength.

तेषां त्रयाणामिह संयुतिस्तु त्रिभिर्हृता सैव दशा प्रकल्प्या । वीर्ये द्वयोरैक्यदलं तयोः स्यात् चेज्जीवशर्मायुरमी बलोनाः

teṣāṃ trayāṇāmiha saṃyutistu tribhirhṛtā saiva daśā prakalpyā | vīrye dvayoraikyadalaṃ tayoḥ syāt cejjīvaśarmāyuramī balonāḥ

The sum of those three here, divided by three — that itself is to be taken as the daśā ⟨-span⟩. If two ⟨have strength⟩, it will be half of the sum of those two; and if these are deficient in strength, ⟨take⟩ Jīvaśarman's āyus.

कालचक्रदशा ज्ञेया चन्द्रांशेशे बलान्विते । सदा नक्षत्रमार्गेण दशा बलवती स्मृता

kālacakradaśā jñeyā candrāṃśeśe balānvite | sadā nakṣatramārgeṇa daśā balavatī smṛtā

The Kālacakra daśā is to be resorted to when the lord of the Moon's aṃśa is endowed with strength. Always, the daśā by the path of the nakṣatras is held to be the stronger.

समाः षष्टिर्द्विघ्ना मनुजकरिणां पञ्च च निशा हयानां द्वात्रिंशत्खरकरभयोः पञ्चककृतिः । विरूपा साप्यायुर्वृषमहिषयोर्द्वादश शुनां स्मृतं छागादीनां दशकसहिताः षट् च परमम्

Sixty years doubled ⟨= 120⟩, and five nights, ⟨are the full life⟩ of men and elephants; of horses, thirty-two; of the ass and the camel, the square of five ⟨= 25⟩. That same ⟨number⟩ less one ⟨= 24⟩ is the life-span of the bull and the buffalo as well; for dogs twelve is recorded; and for goats and the like, six together with ten ⟨= 16⟩ is the maximum.

ये धर्मकर्मनिरता विजितेन्द्रिया ये ये पथ्यभोजनजुषो द्विजदेवभक्ताः । लोके नरा दधति ये कुलशीललीलां तेषामिदं कथितमायुरुदारधीभिः

ye dharmakarmaniratā vijitendriyā ye ye pathyabhojanajuṣo dvijadevabhaktāḥ | loke narā dadhati ye kulaśīlalīlāṃ teṣāmidaṃ kathitamāyurudāradhībhiḥ

Those men who are intent on the works of dharma, who have conquered the senses, who partake of wholesome ⟨pathya⟩ food, who are devoted to the twice-born and to the gods, and who in the world bear the grace of ⟨good⟩ lineage and character — it is for these that this life-span has been declared by the noble-minded ⟨sages⟩.

गोचरग्रहवशान्मनुजानां यच्छुभाशुभफलाभ्युपलब्ध्यै । अष्टवर्ग इति यो महदुक्तस्तत्प्रसाधनमिहाभिदधेऽहम्

gocaragrahavaśānmanujānāṃ yacchubhāśubhaphalābhyupalabdhyai | aṣṭavarga iti yo mahaduktastatprasādhanamihābhidadhe'ham

For the obtaining of those auspicious and inauspicious results which come to men by force of the grahas in transit (gocara), I here set forth the working-out of that which the great ones have called the aṣṭavarga.

आलिख्य सम्यग्भुवि राशिचक्रं ग्रहस्थितिं तज्जननप्रवृत्ताम् । तत्तद्ग्रहर्क्षात्क्रमशोऽष्टवर्गं प्रोक्तं करोत्यक्षविधानमत्र

ālikhya samyagbhuvi rāśicakraṃ grahasthitiṃ tajjananapravṛttām | tattadgraharkṣātkramaśo'ṣṭavargaṃ proktaṃ karotyakṣavidhānamatra

Having properly drawn the rāśicakra on the ground ⟨and set in it⟩ the positions of the grahas as they obtained at that birth, one performs here, in order, from each graha's own sign, the assignment of dots (akṣa) — the aṣṭavarga as declared.

इति निगदितमिष्टं नेष्टमन्यद्विशेषादधिकफलविपाकं जन्मिनां तत्र दद्युः । उपचयगृहमित्रस्वोच्चगैः पुष्टमिष्टं त्वपचयगृहनीचारातिगैर्नेष्टसम्पत्

What has thus been declared is desirable; anything other ⟨than it⟩ is undesirable. In particular ⟨the grahas⟩ give the natives, in those ⟨places⟩, the ripening of a greater fruit. ⟨That result is⟩ full and desirable when they go to an upacaya house, to a friend's house, to their own house or to exaltation; but with those that go to an apacaya house, to debilitation or to an enemy's house, the yield is undesirable.

kṛtvāṣṭavargaṃ dyusadāṃ kriyādiṣvakṣairvihīne mṛtirekabindoḥ | nāśo vyayo bhītibhayārthanārīśrīrājyasiddhiḥ kramaśaḥ phalāni

Having made the aṣṭavarga of the sky-dwellers ⟨the grahas⟩ in the signs beginning with Aries (kriya): in a sign wholly devoid of dots, death; from one bindu, destruction; ⟨from two,⟩ loss; ⟨from three,⟩ dread; ⟨from four,⟩ danger; ⟨from five,⟩ wealth; ⟨from six,⟩ women; ⟨from seven,⟩ prosperity; ⟨from eight,⟩ the attainment of sovereignty — these are the results, in order.
