Sarvārtha Cintāmaṇi

श्रीमच्छेषगिरेस्तटाधिनिलयं श्रीवेङ्कटेशं गुरुं नत्वा वेङ्कटनायकं त्वनुदिनं जातोऽहमार्यात्सुधीः । ज्योतिः शास्त्रमहाब्धिपारगमने वक्ष्यामि पोतात्मकं ज्योतिः शास्त्रविवेकपाकविदुषां सर्वार्थचिन्तामणिम् ।

śrīmaccheṣagirestaṭādhinilayaṃ śrīveṅkaṭeśaṃ guruṃ natvā veṅkaṭanāyakaṃ tvanudinaṃ jāto'hamāryātsudhīḥ | jyotiḥ śāstramahābdhipāragamane vakṣyāmi potātmakaṃ jyotiḥ śāstravivekapākaviduṣāṃ sarvārthacintāmaṇim |

Having bowed to Śrī Veṅkaṭeśa, my teacher, whose abode is on the slope of the holy Śeṣagiri, and daily to Veṅkaṭanāyaka — I, a man of understanding born of Ārya, shall set forth the Sarvārthacintāmaṇi, a very boat for crossing to the far shore of the great ocean of the science of light, for those ripe in the discernment of that science.

नीलाम्बुजरुचिं देवं सकृद्यान्ति मनोरथम् । देवाः प्रणम्य यं सर्वे तं नमामि गजाननम्

nīlāmbujaruciṃ devaṃ sakṛdyānti manoratham | devāḥ praṇamya yaṃ sarve taṃ namāmi gajānanam

I bow to Gajānana, the god of the hue of a blue lotus, whom all the gods worship and thereby attain their desire at once.

वाग्विभूतिप्रदा देवी या श्वेताम्बुरुहस्थिता । गोक्षीरधवलाकारा स्वयं तिष्ठतु वाचि मे

vāgvibhūtipradā devī yā śvetāmburuhasthitā | gokṣīradhavalākārā svayaṃ tiṣṭhatu vāci me

May the goddess who bestows the wealth of speech, who is seated upon a white lotus, and whose form is white as cow's milk, herself abide upon my tongue.

मेषादिराशयः सर्वे दिनेशप्रमुखा ग्रहाः । ये च लोकोपकर्तारः पान्तु मामिह ते सदा

meṣādirāśayaḥ sarve dineśapramukhā grahāḥ | ye ca lokopakartāraḥ pāntu māmiha te sadā

May all the signs beginning with Aries, the planets headed by the Sun, and all those who do good to the world, ever protect me here.

यज्जातके निगदितं भुवि मानवानां तत्प्राश्निकेऽपि सकलं कथयन्ति तज्ज्ञाः । प्रश्नोऽपि जन्मसदृशो भवति प्रभेदः प्रश्नस्य चात्र जननस्य न कश्चिदस्ति

yajjātake nigaditaṃ bhuvi mānavānāṃ tatprāśnike'pi sakalaṃ kathayanti tajjñāḥ | praśno'pi janmasadṛśo bhavati prabhedaḥ praśnasya cātra jananasya na kaścidasti

Whatever is declared for men on earth in natal astrology, all of that those who know the subject declare in praśna also. A question too is like a birth; there is here no difference whatever between a question and a nativity.

भौमाच्छविच्चन्द्ररविज्ञशुक्र वक्रेज्यमन्दाऽर्किसुतामरेज्याः । मेषादिभानामधिपाः क्रमेण तदंशकानामपि ते भवेयुः

bhaumācchaviccandraravijñaśukra vakrejyamandā'rkisutāmarejyāḥ | meṣādibhānāmadhipāḥ krameṇa tadaṃśakānāmapi te bhaveyuḥ

The lords of the signs beginning with Aries are, in order, Mars, Venus, Mercury, the Moon, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Saturn and Jupiter; and they are the lords of the corresponding divisions (aṃśa) as well.

मेषादिमूर्धा वदनं गलाधो हृत्कुक्षिवासो भृतबस्तिगुह्यम् । ततोरुजानुद्वयजङ्घमङ्घ्री पापान्वितं यत्तदुपैति नाशम्

meṣādimūrdhā vadanaṃ galādho hṛtkukṣivāso bhṛtabastiguhyam | tatorujānudvayajaṅghamaṅghrī pāpānvitaṃ yattadupaiti nāśam

Aries is the head of the Kālapuruṣa, Taurus the face, Gemini the region below the neck, Cancer the heart, Leo the belly, Virgo the waist, Libra the pelvis, Scorpio the genitals, then Sagittarius the thighs, Capricorn the two knees, Aquarius the shanks and Pisces the feet. Whichever of these is joined with a malefic comes to ruin.

व्यत्यस्तमत्स्यद्वयमश्वजङ्घश्चापी मनुष्यः सगदं सवीणम् । नृयुग्ममादाय करेऽग्निसस्ये नौस्थाबला मानधरो वणिक् च

vyatyastamatsyadvayamaśvajaṅghaścāpī manuṣyaḥ sagadaṃ savīṇam | nṛyugmamādāya kare'gnisasye nausthābalā mānadharo vaṇik ca

Pisces is two fishes lying head to tail; Sagittarius a man with a horse's hindquarters, bearing a bow; Gemini a human pair, the man with a mace and the woman with a lute; Virgo a woman standing in a boat with fire and an ear of corn in her hands; and Libra a merchant holding a balance.

घटी जलादानग्रहीतुकामः शेषाः स्वनामानुगुणा भवन्ति । मेषस्तु मेषो वृषभः स एव कर्की कुलीरस्त्वथ वृश्चिकोलिः

ghaṭī jalādānagrahītukāmaḥ śeṣāḥ svanāmānuguṇā bhavanti | meṣastu meṣo vṛṣabhaḥ sa eva karkī kulīrastvatha vṛścikoliḥ

Aquarius is a man wishing to draw up water in a pot; the rest correspond to their own names — Aries is a ram, Taurus simply a bull, Cancer a crab, and Scorpio a scorpion.

युजीन्दुसूर्यौ भवने रवीन्दू नाथौ त्वयुग्मे भवनस्य चार्द्धे । राशिं त्रिधाकृत्य दृकाणमाहुस्तदीशपुत्रेश शुभाधिनाथाः

yujīndusūryau bhavane ravīndū nāthau tvayugme bhavanasya cārddhe | rāśiṃ tridhākṛtya dṛkāṇamāhustadīśaputreśa śubhādhināthāḥ

In an even sign the Moon and the Sun own the two horās, and in an odd sign the Sun and the Moon are the lords of the two halves of the sign. Dividing the sign into three they call it the drekkāṇa; its lords are the lord of the sign itself, the lord of the fifth from it, and the lord of the ninth from it.

चरेऽंशकानामधिपास्तदंशाद् राशौ स्थिरे तन्नवमेश्वराद्याः । द्विदेहमेतत् सुतराशिनाथाद् वदन्ति शास्त्रार्थविदो महान्ताः

care'ṃśakānāmadhipāstadaṃśād rāśau sthire tannavameśvarādyāḥ | dvidehametat sutarāśināthād vadanti śāstrārthavido mahāntāḥ

In a movable sign the lords of the navāṃśas are reckoned from the lord of that sign itself; in a fixed sign from the lord of the ninth from it; and in a dual sign from the lord of the fifth (suta) sign — so the great ones who know the meaning of the śāstra declare.

तत्क्षेत्रपा द्वादशभागनाथा लग्नस्य वर्गाधिपतिस्तदीशात् । त्रिंशांशपा भौमशनीज्यसौम्यशुक्रा भवन्त्योजगृहे समे तु

tatkṣetrapā dvādaśabhāganāthā lagnasya vargādhipatistadīśāt | triṃśāṃśapā bhaumaśanījyasaumyaśukrā bhavantyojagṛhe same tu

The lords of the twelfth-parts are the lords of the successive signs counted from that sign, and the lord of a varga of the lagna is reckoned from that sign's lord. The lords of the thirtieth-parts (triṃśāṃśa) in an odd sign are Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus; in an even sign —

विलोमतः पञ्चशराष्टसप्तबाणाः क्रमादूचुरनेकशास्त्रैः । सप्तांशपास्त्वोजगृहे तदीशाद्युग्मे गृहे सप्तमराशिपात्तु

vilomataḥ pañcaśarāṣṭasaptabāṇāḥ kramādūcuranekaśāstraiḥ | saptāṃśapāstvojagṛhe tadīśādyugme gṛhe saptamarāśipāttu

— in the reverse order; and their spans are, in order, five, five, eight, seven and five degrees, as many treatises declare. The lords of the seventh-parts (saptāṃśa) in an odd sign are counted from the lord of that sign, and in an even sign from the lord of the seventh sign.

दशांशपानामधिपास्तदीशादोजे समे तन्नवमेश्वराद्याः। ओजे कलानामधिपास्तदीशाश्चतुर्मुखो विष्णुहरौ दिनेशः

daśāṃśapānāmadhipāstadīśādoje same tannavameśvarādyāḥ| oje kalānāmadhipāstadīśāścaturmukho viṣṇuharau dineśaḥ

The lords of the tenth-parts (daśāṃśa) in an odd sign are counted from the lord of that sign, and in an even sign from the lord of the ninth from it. In an odd sign the lords of the kalāṃśa (the SIXTEENTH parts, ṣoḍaśāṃśa) are Brahmā the four-faced, Viṣṇu, Hara and the Sun.

युग्मे क्रमाद्व्यत्ययमेव राशौ षष्ट्यंशपानामधिपास्त्वयुग्मे । घोरांशको राक्षसदेवभागौ कुबेररक्षोगणकिन्नरांशाः

yugme kramādvyatyayameva rāśau ṣaṣṭyaṃśapānāmadhipāstvayugme | ghorāṃśako rākṣasadevabhāgau kuberarakṣogaṇakinnarāṃśāḥ

In an even sign the order is simply reversed. Now the lords of the sixtieth-parts (ṣaṣṭyaṃśa) in an odd sign: Ghora, Rākṣasa, Deva, Kubera, Rakṣogaṇa, Kinnara,

भ्रष्टः कुलघ्नो गरलाग्निसंज्ञौ मायांशकः प्रेतपुरीषभागः अपाम्पतिर्देवगणेशभागः कालाहिभागावमृतांशुचन्द्रौ

bhraṣṭaḥ kulaghno garalāgnisaṃjñau māyāṃśakaḥ pretapurīṣabhāgaḥ apāmpatirdevagaṇeśabhāgaḥ kālāhibhāgāvamṛtāṃśucandrau

Bhraṣṭa, Kulaghna, the two called Garala and Agni, Māyā, Preta, Purīṣa, Apāmpati, Devagaṇeśa, Kāla and Ahi, Amṛta and Candra,

मृद्वंशकः कोमलपद्मभागौ लक्ष्मीशवागीशदिगम्बरांशाः। देवार्द्रभागौ कलिनाशभागः क्षितीश्वरांशः कमलाकरांशः

mṛdvaṃśakaḥ komalapadmabhāgau lakṣmīśavāgīśadigambarāṃśāḥ| devārdrabhāgau kalināśabhāgaḥ kṣitīśvarāṃśaḥ kamalākarāṃśaḥ

Mṛdu, Komala and Padma, Lakṣmīśa, Vāgīśa and Digambara, Deva and Ārdra, Kalināśa, Kṣitīśvara and Kamalākara,

क्रमेण मन्दात्मजमृत्युकालः दावाग्निघोरामयकण्टकाश्च । सुधाऽमृतांशौ परिपूर्णचन्द्रः विषप्रदग्धौ कुलनाशमुख्यौ

krameṇa mandātmajamṛtyukālaḥ dāvāgnighorāmayakaṇṭakāśca | sudhā'mṛtāṃśau paripūrṇacandraḥ viṣapradagdhau kulanāśamukhyau

in order Mandātmaja, Mṛtyu, Kāla, Dāvāgni, Ghora, Āmaya and Kaṇṭaka, Sudhā and Amṛta, Paripūrṇacandra, Viṣa and Pradagdha, Kulanāśa and the rest,

वंशक्षयोत्पातककालरूपाः सौम्यश्च मृद्वंशसुशीतलांशौ । दंष्ट्राकरालेन्दुमुखप्रवीणाः कालाग्निदण्डायुधनिर्मलांशाः

vaṃśakṣayotpātakakālarūpāḥ saumyaśca mṛdvaṃśasuśītalāṃśau | daṃṣṭrākarālendumukhapravīṇāḥ kālāgnidaṇḍāyudhanirmalāṃśāḥ

Vaṃśakṣaya, Utpātaka, Kāla, Saumya, Mṛdu and Suśītala, Daṃṣṭrākarāla, Indumukha, Pravīṇa, Kālāgni, Daṇḍāyudha and Nirmala,

शुभाशुभांशावतिशीतलांशः सुधापयोधिभ्रमणेन्दुरेखाः । ज्ञेयाः क्रमाद्व्यत्ययमेव युग्मे शुभान्वितांशो यदि शोभनासिः

śubhāśubhāṃśāvatiśītalāṃśaḥ sudhāpayodhibhramaṇendurekhāḥ | jñeyāḥ kramādvyatyayameva yugme śubhānvitāṃśo yadi śobhanāsiḥ

Śubha and Aśubha, Atiśītala, Sudhā, Payodhi, Bhramaṇa and Indurekhā — these are to be known in order; and in an even sign the order is exactly reversed. If an aṃśa is joined with a benefic, it is auspicious.

क्रूरषष्ट्यंशगाः सर्वे नाशयन्ति खचारिणः । यदि पूर्णबलैर्युक्ताः स्वोच्चमूलत्रिकोणगाः

krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśagāḥ sarve nāśayanti khacāriṇaḥ | yadi pūrṇabalairyuktāḥ svoccamūlatrikoṇagāḥ

All the planets that move in the sky bring ruin when they occupy cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśas — unless they are endowed with full strength and stand in their exaltation or mūlatrikoṇa.

स्वर्क्षकेन्द्रोत्तमांशस्था मित्रक्षेत्रत्रिकोणगाः । सप्तवर्गोद्भवाः स्वांशाः स्वाधिमित्रांशकान्विताः

svarkṣakendrottamāṃśasthā mitrakṣetratrikoṇagāḥ | saptavargodbhavāḥ svāṃśāḥ svādhimitrāṃśakānvitāḥ

Planets standing in their own sign, in a kendra, in an exalted navāṃśa, in a friend's sign or in a trine; the svāṃśas that arise from the seven vargas, joined with the divisions of their own sign or of a friend's —

वर्गास्तु ये दश प्रोक्ताः पूर्वाचार्यैः महर्षिभिः । भवन्ति वर्गसंयोगे पारिजातादिसंज्ञकाः

vargāstu ye daśa proktāḥ pūrvācāryaiḥ maharṣibhiḥ | bhavanti vargasaṃyoge pārijātādisaṃjñakāḥ

— the vargas that were declared to be ten in number by the teachers of old, the great sages, produce, when several of them combine, the combinations named pārijāta and the rest.

दुःस्थारिनीचमूढस्था ग्रहा बलविवर्जिताः । मरणावस्थगाश्चेत्तु पारिजातादिनाशकाः

duḥsthārinīcamūḍhasthā grahā balavivarjitāḥ | maraṇāvasthagāścettu pārijātādināśakāḥ

But planets that are ill-placed, in an enemy's sign, in debilitation or eclipsed by the Sun, devoid of strength, and standing in the maraṇa condition, destroy the pārijāta and the other combinations.

उत्तमं तु त्रिवर्गैक्यं चतुर्वर्गं तु गोपुरम् । वर्गपञ्चकसंयोगे सिंहासनमिहोच्यते

uttamaṃ tu trivargaikyaṃ caturvargaṃ tu gopuram | vargapañcakasaṃyoge siṃhāsanamihocyate

The union of three vargas is called uttama, of four gopura, and the conjunction of five vargas is here called siṃhāsana.

वर्गद्वयं पारिजातं षण्णां पारावतांशकम् । सप्तमं देवलोकं स्यादष्टमं चामरम्भवेत्

vargadvayaṃ pārijātaṃ ṣaṇṇāṃ pārāvatāṃśakam | saptamaṃ devalokaṃ syādaṣṭamaṃ cāmarambhavet

Two vargas make pārijāta; six make the pārāvata portion; the seventh would be devaloka and the eighth cāmara;

ऐरावतं तु नवमं फलं तेषां पृथक् पृथक् । दशवर्गस्य संयोगे विदुर्वैशेषिकांशकान्

airāvataṃ tu navamaṃ phalaṃ teṣāṃ pṛthak pṛthak | daśavargasya saṃyoge vidurvaiśeṣikāṃśakān

and the ninth is airāvata; the results of each of these are stated separately. On the conjunction of all ten vargas they know the vaiśeṣika portions.

ऐरावते सार्वभौमः सर्वैश्वर्यसमन्वितः । देवलोके महादानकर्ता राजा क्षितीश्वरः

airāvate sārvabhaumaḥ sarvaiśvaryasamanvitaḥ | devaloke mahādānakartā rājā kṣitīśvaraḥ

In airāvata a man becomes a universal sovereign possessed of every lordship; in devaloka, a king and lord of the earth who makes great gifts;

पारावते माण्डलिकः सर्वशास्त्रविशारदः । सिंहासने भवेद् भूमिपतिः सर्वैः स्तुतो महान्

pārāvate māṇḍalikaḥ sarvaśāstraviśāradaḥ | siṃhāsane bhaved bhūmipatiḥ sarvaiḥ stuto mahān

in pārāvata, a provincial ruler skilled in every śāstra; in siṃhāsana, a lord of the earth, great and praised by all;

गोपुरे धनवान्नित्यं सर्वविद्याविशारदः । उत्तमे सकला सम्पत् पारिजाते धनान्वितः

gopure dhanavānnityaṃ sarvavidyāviśāradaḥ | uttame sakalā sampat pārijāte dhanānvitaḥ

in gopura, one is always wealthy and skilled in every branch of learning; in uttama, there is complete prosperity; and in pārijāta, a man is possessed of wealth.

स्वांशे यशस्वी मतिमान् सर्वसौख्यसमन्वितः । पारिजातादिसंज्ञानां फलं प्रोक्तं महर्षिभिः

svāṃśe yaśasvī matimān sarvasaukhyasamanvitaḥ | pārijātādisaṃjñānāṃ phalaṃ proktaṃ maharṣibhiḥ

A planet standing in its own navāṃśa (svāṃśa) makes the native renowned, intelligent and endowed with every comfort. Such are the results of the divisions named pārijāta and the rest, as declared by the great sages.

लग्नं क्रमात्सार्धघटीद्वयं स्यान्मेषाद्दिनेशस्थितकोणभानाम् । राशीश्वरात्प्राणपदं क्रमेण घटीचतुर्थांशमुशन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

lagnaṃ kramātsārdhaghaṭīdvayaṃ syānmeṣāddineśasthitakoṇabhānām | rāśīśvarātprāṇapadaṃ krameṇa ghaṭīcaturthāṃśamuśanti tajjñāḥ

The lagna takes two and a half ghaṭīs in order, counted from Aries, for the trinal signs reckoned from the sign the Sun occupies; and the prāṇapada is reckoned in order from the lord of the sign, those who know it holding each step to be a quarter of a ghaṭī.

चापाद्विपर्येति रविस्तु सार्ध घटीद्वयं रात्रिकरोऽपि तस्मात् । क्रमेण सार्धद्वयनाडिकालः कुजो वृषाद्व्यत्ययनाडिमात्रम्

cāpādviparyeti ravistu sārdha ghaṭīdvayaṃ rātrikaro'pi tasmāt | krameṇa sārdhadvayanāḍikālaḥ kujo vṛṣādvyatyayanāḍimātram

The Sun proceeds in the reverse direction from Sagittarius for two and a half ghaṭīs; the Moon (rātrikara) likewise from that sign, in order, for a period of two and a half nāḍīs; and Mars from Taurus, by the reverse count, for the measure of one nāḍī.

चापाद्बुधो व्यत्ययनाडिमात्रं मीनादधः पञ्चघटीन्द्रपूज्यः। क्रमेण युग्माद्भृगुनन्दनस्तु घटीप्रमाणो दिननाथपुत्रः

cāpādbudho vyatyayanāḍimātraṃ mīnādadhaḥ pañcaghaṭīndrapūjyaḥ| krameṇa yugmādbhṛgunandanastu ghaṭīpramāṇo dinanāthaputraḥ

Mercury from Sagittarius, by the reverse count, for the measure of a nāḍī; Jupiter (indra-pūjya) downward from Pisces for five ghaṭīs; Venus (bhṛgu-nandana) in order from Gemini; and Saturn (the son of the lord of day) of the measure of one ghaṭī.

व्यत्यासमार्गेण घटीप्रमाणो मेषादगुः सार्धघटीयुगं स्यात् । मीनाच्छिखी तन्मदगो विलोमाच्छास्त्रान्तरे तत्फलमाहुरार्याः

vyatyāsamārgeṇa ghaṭīpramāṇo meṣādaguḥ sārdhaghaṭīyugaṃ syāt | mīnācchikhī tanmadago vilomācchāstrāntare tatphalamāhurāryāḥ

[Rāhu] by the reverse course, of the measure of one ghaṭī, is two and a half ghaṭīs from Aries; and Ketu (śikhī) from Pisces, in the seventh from it, by the reverse count. The venerable declare that result in another śāstra.

बालाद्यवस्थाः क्रमशो ग्रहाणामोजे समे तद्विपरीतमाहुः । बालः कुमारोऽथ युवाऽथ वृद्धो मृतो लवानामृतुभिः क्रमेण

bālādyavasthāḥ kramaśo grahāṇāmoje same tadviparītamāhuḥ | bālaḥ kumāro'tha yuvā'tha vṛddho mṛto lavānāmṛtubhiḥ krameṇa

The states beginning with infancy belong to the planets in this order in odd signs, and in the reverse order in even signs: infant, boy, youth, old man, dead — each occupying six degrees of the sign in turn.

बालाद्यवस्थानुगुणं व्रजन्ति तत्पाककाले दिननाथमुख्याः । ग्रहा समस्ता हि फलप्रदानं बलानुसारं कुरुते नराणाम्

bālādyavasthānuguṇaṃ vrajanti tatpākakāle dinanāthamukhyāḥ | grahā samastā hi phalapradānaṃ balānusāraṃ kurute narāṇām

In their daśā periods the Sun and the other planets yield results in keeping with these states beginning with infancy; indeed all the planets bestow their results upon men in proportion to their strength.

मेषाजवस्तं प्रथमं क्रियश्च वृषोक्षगो तावुरिशुक्रभञ्च । बौधं नृयुग्मं जितुमं तृतीयं चान्द्रं कुलीरं तु चतुर्थराशिम्

meṣājavastaṃ prathamaṃ kriyaśca vṛṣokṣago tāvuriśukrabhañca | baudhaṃ nṛyugmaṃ jitumaṃ tṛtīyaṃ cāndraṃ kulīraṃ tu caturtharāśim

The first sign is called meṣa, aja, vasta and kriya; the second, the sign of Venus, is vṛṣa, ukṣa, go and tāvuri; the third, Mercury's, is nṛyugma, the human pair, and jituma; and the fourth sign is the Moon's, kulīra.

सिंहस्य कण्ठीरवलेपसंज्ञा पाथोनषष्ठी त्वबला च तन्वी । जूको वणिक् सप्तमतौलिसंज्ञः कौर्प्योऽष्टमं कौजमलेस्तु संज्ञाः

siṃhasya kaṇṭhīravalepasaṃjñā pāthonaṣaṣṭhī tvabalā ca tanvī | jūko vaṇik saptamataulisaṃjñaḥ kaurpyo'ṣṭamaṃ kaujamalestu saṃjñāḥ

For Leo the names are siṃha, kaṇṭhīrava and leya; the sixth is pāthona, abalā and tanvī; the seventh bears the names jūka, vaṇij and tulā; and the eighth, a sign of Mars, has the names kaurpi and ali.

जैवं धनुस्तौक्षिकचापसंज्ञं त्वाकेकरं स्याद्दशमञ्च चक्रम् । हृद्रोगकुम्भौ घटराशिसंज्ञे मीनो झषश्चातिमरिष्फसंज्ञः

jaivaṃ dhanustaukṣikacāpasaṃjñaṃ tvākekaraṃ syāddaśamañca cakram | hṛdrogakumbhau ghaṭarāśisaṃjñe mīno jhaṣaścātimariṣphasaṃjñaḥ

Jupiter's sign dhanus is named taukṣika and cāpa; the tenth is ākokera and cakra; hṛdroga and kumbha are names of the pitcher-sign; and mīna, jhaṣa and antya-riṣpha name the last.

होरा तनुर्मूर्त्युदयं शिरश्च वाग्वित्तकौटुम्बमथाक्षिसंज्ञम् । सहोत्थदुश्चिक्यगलं तृतीयं शौर्यं च कर्णं सुखमम्बु बन्धुः

horā tanurmūrtyudayaṃ śiraśca vāgvittakauṭumbamathākṣisaṃjñam | sahotthaduścikyagalaṃ tṛtīyaṃ śauryaṃ ca karṇaṃ sukhamambu bandhuḥ

The first house is called horā, tanu, mūrti, udaya and śiras; the second, vāc, vitta, kauṭumba and akṣi; the third, sahaja, duścikya, gala, śaurya and karṇa; the fourth, sukha, ambu and bandhu.

रसातलं वै हिबुकं च वेश्म पातालहृद्वाहनमातृसंज्ञाः । बुद्धिप्रभावात्मजमन्त्रसंज्ञं विवेकशक्ती उदरप्रदेशः

rasātalaṃ vai hibukaṃ ca veśma pātālahṛdvāhanamātṛsaṃjñāḥ | buddhiprabhāvātmajamantrasaṃjñaṃ vivekaśaktī udarapradeśaḥ

The fourth is also rasātala, hibuka, veśma, pātāla, hṛd, vāhana and mātṛ; the fifth is named buddhi, prabhā, ātmaja and mantra, and stands for discernment, power and the region of the belly.

रोगक्षतारिव्यसनं तु चोरस्थानं भवेद्विघ्नमिहाहुरार्य्याः । चित्तोत्थकामो मदनश्च भर्तृस्थानं कलत्रं दधिसूपसंज्ञम्

rogakṣatārivyasanaṃ tu corasthānaṃ bhavedvighnamihāhurāryyāḥ | cittotthakāmo madanaśca bhartṛsthānaṃ kalatraṃ dadhisūpasaṃjñam

The sixth is roga, kṣata, ari, vyasana and the place of thieves; here the venerable also call it vighna. The seventh is the desire born of the heart, madana, the place of the husband, kalatra, and it is named dadhi-sūpa.

क्षीरं गुडं मूत्रककृच्छ्रनाम गुह्यं च रन्ध्रं मरणान्तकायुः । धर्मो दया पैत्रिकभाग्यभं तु गुरुस्तपो लाभशुभार्जितानि

kṣīraṃ guḍaṃ mūtrakakṛcchranāma guhyaṃ ca randhraṃ maraṇāntakāyuḥ | dharmo dayā paitrikabhāgyabhaṃ tu gurustapo lābhaśubhārjitāni

The eighth is kṣīra, guḍa, mūtra, kṛcchra, guhya, randhra, maraṇa, antaka and āyus; the ninth is dharma, dayā, the paternal house, bhāgya, guru, tapas, and what is gained by merit.

आज्ञा च मानं दशमञ्च कर्म तदास्पदं खं धनलाभमायम् । व्ययोऽन्त्यभं रिष्फविनाशसंज्ञं लग्नान्त्यखण्डः कथितो मुनीन्द्रैः

ājñā ca mānaṃ daśamañca karma tadāspadaṃ khaṃ dhanalābhamāyam | vyayo'ntyabhaṃ riṣphavināśasaṃjñaṃ lagnāntyakhaṇḍaḥ kathito munīndraiḥ

The tenth is ājñā, māna, karma, āspada and kha; the eleventh is dhana-lābha and āya; the twelfth is vyaya, antya-bha, riṣpha and vināśa. Such are the divisions counted from the lagna to the last, as declared by the chief sages.

दुःस्थाश्च नाशप्रभवा भवन्ति षष्ठाष्टरिष्फानुगतास्तथैव । उद्यन्ति पृष्ठेन वृषाजचापकुलीरनक्रा बलिनः सयुग्माः

duḥsthāśca nāśaprabhavā bhavanti ṣaṣṭhāṣṭariṣphānugatāstathaiva | udyanti pṛṣṭhena vṛṣājacāpakulīranakrā balinaḥ sayugmāḥ

Planets ill-placed — that is, those occupying the 6th, 8th and 12th — become causes of ruin. Taurus, Aries, Sagittarius, Cancer and Capricorn rise with their backs foremost (pṛṣṭhodaya); the rest, with Gemini among them, are strong.

ते रात्रिकालेऽह्नि बलास्तु शेषाः शीर्षोदया मीनमुदेत्युभाभ्याम् । फलानुमानो कथिता मुनीन्द्रैः बलोदयाभ्यां च नभश्चराणाम्

te rātrikāle'hni balāstu śeṣāḥ śīrṣodayā mīnamudetyubhābhyām | phalānumāno kathitā munīndraiḥ balodayābhyāṃ ca nabhaścarāṇām

Those signs are strong at night, while the remaining, the head-rising (śīrṣodaya) signs, are strong by day; Pisces rises by both. From strength and mode of rising the chief sages have taught the inference of the planets' results.

धूमोऽर्को विश्वभागश्रुतिभवनयुतो मण्डलाच्छोधितोऽसौ पातः षड्राशियुक्तः परिधिरथ भसंशोधितश्चापनामा । शैलाशाभागयुक्तं धनुरथ च शिखी पञ्च ते त्वप्रकाशाः प्रादुर्भावे च तेषां फलमिह कथितं जातकप्रश्नयोः स्यात्

dhūmo'rko viśvabhāgaśrutibhavanayuto maṇḍalācchodhito'sau pātaḥ ṣaḍrāśiyuktaḥ paridhiratha bhasaṃśodhitaścāpanāmā | śailāśābhāgayuktaṃ dhanuratha ca śikhī pañca te tvaprakāśāḥ prādurbhāve ca teṣāṃ phalamiha kathitaṃ jātakapraśnayoḥ syāt

Dhūma is the Sun increased by four signs thirteen degrees twenty minutes; subtracted from the whole circle it yields Vyatīpāta (pāta); that with six signs added is Parivesha; that again subtracted from the circle is the one named Indracāpa; and Indracāpa with sixteen degrees forty minutes added is Śikhī. These five are the lightless bodies, and the results of their appearing are here declared for both natal and praśna astrology.

व्योमास्तपातालविलग्नभानां वदन्ति नामानि मुनीन्द्रजालाः । तत्कण्टकं केन्द्रचतुष्टयं च वर्गोत्तमास्तत्स्वनवांशकास्तु

vyomāstapātālavilagnabhānāṃ vadanti nāmāni munīndrajālāḥ | tatkaṇṭakaṃ kendracatuṣṭayaṃ ca vargottamāstatsvanavāṃśakāstu

The hosts of great sages give these as the names of the mid-heaven, the setting point, the pātāla and the lagna; that same set of four is called kaṇṭaka, kendra and catuṣṭaya; and the navāṃśas identical in sign with those are vargottama.

जलचरपशुनरकीटा बन्धौ माने तनौ मदे चापि । क्रमशो भवन्ति वीर्या विगतबलास्तत्सप्तमे वाऽपि

jalacarapaśunarakīṭā bandhau māne tanau made cāpi | kramaśo bhavanti vīryā vigatabalāstatsaptame vā'pi

Watery, quadruped, human and insect signs are strong respectively in the 4th (bandhu), the 10th (māna), the 1st (tanu) and the 7th (mada); and they are stripped of strength in the seventh house from those.

मेषोक्षनक्राङ्गनकर्किमीनतुलाधराः स्युर्दिनपात्स्वतुङ्गाः । अत्युच्च भागैर्नयनागदारमत्यामनासारनरैः क्रमेण

meṣokṣanakrāṅganakarkimīnatulādharāḥ syurdinapātsvatuṅgāḥ | atyucca bhāgairnayanāgadāramatyāmanāsāranaraiḥ krameṇa

Aries, Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo, Cancer, Pisces and Libra are the exaltation signs of the planets beginning with the Sun; and their degrees of deepest exaltation are, in order, 10, 3, 28, 15, 5, 27 and 20.

सिंहोक्षवस्ताङ्गनचापतौलिकुम्भा भवन्त्युच्चसमानभावाः । मूलत्रिकोणानि भवन्ति तानि किञ्चिद्विहीनानि बलानि सूर्यात्

siṃhokṣavastāṅganacāpataulikumbhā bhavantyuccasamānabhāvāḥ | mūlatrikoṇāni bhavanti tāni kiñcidvihīnāni balāni sūryāt

Leo, Taurus, Aries, Virgo, Sagittarius, Libra and Aquarius are of a status equal to exaltation: these, reckoned from the Sun onward, are the mūlatrikoṇa signs, and their strength is somewhat less than that of exaltation.

दिवाबला मानुषराशयः स्यू रात्रौ बलाढ्याः पशवश्च कीटाः । सन्ध्याद्वये भ्रातृभवास्पदानां सषष्ठभानां तु चयेति संज्ञा

divābalā mānuṣarāśayaḥ syū rātrau balāḍhyāḥ paśavaśca kīṭāḥ | sandhyādvaye bhrātṛbhavāspadānāṃ saṣaṣṭhabhānāṃ tu cayeti saṃjñā

The human signs are strong by day, the quadruped and insect signs by night, and the rest at the two twilights. The 3rd, the 11th and the 10th together with the 6th bear the name upacaya (caya).

रक्तः श्वेतः श्यामकान्तिश्च रक्तो धूम्रश्चित्रः कृष्णकान्तिः सुवर्णः । स्वर्णाभः स्यात्कर्बुरो बभ्रुवर्णः स्वच्छो वर्णो वर्णितो बुद्धिमद्भिः

raktaḥ śvetaḥ śyāmakāntiśca rakto dhūmraścitraḥ kṛṣṇakāntiḥ suvarṇaḥ | svarṇābhaḥ syātkarburo babhruvarṇaḥ svaccho varṇo varṇito buddhimadbhiḥ

Red, white, dark-hued, red, smoky, variegated, black-hued, golden, gold-coloured, mottled, tawny, and clear — such are the colours the wise have described.

वेशिस्थानं सूर्ययुक्ताद्द्वितीयं चक्रार्द्धेऽस्मिन्मानमाहुर्मुनीन्द्राः । वेदघ्नं स्याद्वाणसंख्याधिकं तु वैलोम्याद्वा जूकराशेः क्रमेण

veśisthānaṃ sūryayuktāddvitīyaṃ cakrārddhe'sminmānamāhurmunīndrāḥ | vedaghnaṃ syādvāṇasaṃkhyādhikaṃ tu vailomyādvā jūkarāśeḥ krameṇa

The 2nd from the sign occupied by the Sun is the veśi place; in this half of the circle the chief sages declare the measure. It is to be multiplied by four and increased by five, or else reckoned in reverse order from the sign Libra.

दिनेशचन्द्रौ नरपालमुख्यौ सेना कुजः सोमसुतः कुमारः । शुक्रेज्यपूज्यौ सचिवौ शनिश्च प्रेष्यस्तु तद्वृत्तिमुपैति जातः

dineśacandrau narapālamukhyau senā kujaḥ somasutaḥ kumāraḥ | śukrejyapūjyau sacivau śaniśca preṣyastu tadvṛttimupaiti jātaḥ

The Sun and the Moon are the king and the chief; Mars is the commander of the army; Mercury the prince; Venus and Jupiter the ministers; and Saturn the servant. The native takes up the livelihood corresponding to whichever of these prevails.

आत्मा रविः शीतकरो मनस्तु सत्त्वं कुजो भाषणमब्जसूनुः। वाचाम्पतिर्ज्ञानसुखे मदश्च शुक्रो भवेदर्कसुतस्तु दुःखम्

ātmā raviḥ śītakaro manastu sattvaṃ kujo bhāṣaṇamabjasūnuḥ| vācāmpatirjñānasukhe madaśca śukro bhavedarkasutastu duḥkham

The Sun is the soul, the Moon the mind, Mars vigour, Mercury speech; Jupiter stands for knowledge and happiness; Venus is desire; and Saturn is sorrow.

सूर्यो हेलिर्भानुमान्दीप्तरश्मिश्चण्डांशुः स्याद्भास्करोऽहस्करश्च । अब्जः सोमश्चन्द्रमाः शीतरश्मिः शीतांशुः स्याद् ग्लौर्मृगाङ्कः कलेशः

sūryo helirbhānumāndīptaraśmiścaṇḍāṃśuḥ syādbhāskaro'haskaraśca | abjaḥ somaścandramāḥ śītaraśmiḥ śītāṃśuḥ syād glaurmṛgāṅkaḥ kaleśaḥ

The Sun is called sūrya, heli, bhānumān, dīptaraśmi, caṇḍāṃśu, bhāskara and ahaskara; the Moon is abja, soma, candramas, śītaraśmi, śītāṃśu, glau, mṛgāṅka and kaleśa.

आरो वक्रश्चावनेयः कुजः स्याद्भौमः क्रूरो लोहिताङ्गोऽथ पापी । विज्ज्ञः सौम्यो बोधनश्चन्द्रपुत्रश्चान्द्रिः शान्तः श्यामगात्रोऽतिदीर्घः

āro vakraścāvaneyaḥ kujaḥ syādbhaumaḥ krūro lohitāṅgo'tha pāpī | vijjñaḥ saumyo bodhanaścandraputraścāndriḥ śāntaḥ śyāmagātro'tidīrghaḥ

Mars is āra, vakra, āvaneya, kuja, bhauma, krūra, lohitāṅga and pāpī; Mercury is vid, jña, saumya, bodhana, candraputra, cāndri, śānta, the dark-limbed one and the very tall one.

जीवोऽङ्गिरा देवगुरुः प्रशान्तो वाचाम्पतीज्यत्रिदिवेशवन्द्याः । भृगूशनो भार्गवसूनवोच्छकाणौः कविर्दैत्यगुरुः सितश्च

jīvo'ṅgirā devaguruḥ praśānto vācāmpatījyatridiveśavandyāḥ | bhṛgūśano bhārgavasūnavocchakāṇauḥ kavirdaityaguruḥ sitaśca

Jupiter is jīva, aṅgiras, the preceptor of the gods, the wholly calm one, the lord of speech, ijya, and one saluted by the lord of heaven; Venus is bhṛgu, uśanas, the son of Bhṛgu, kavi, the preceptor of the daityas, and sita.

छायात्मजः पङ्गुयमार्कपुत्राः कोणो सितः सौरिशनी च नीलः । क्रूरः कृशाङ्गः कपिलाक्षदीर्घौ तमोसुरश्चेत्यगुसैंहिकेयौ

chāyātmajaḥ paṅguyamārkaputrāḥ koṇo sitaḥ sauriśanī ca nīlaḥ | krūraḥ kṛśāṅgaḥ kapilākṣadīrghau tamosuraścetyagusaiṃhikeyau

Saturn is called Chāyātmaja (son of Chāyā), Paṅgu (the lame), Yama, Arkaputra (the Sun's son), Koṇa, Sita, Sauri, Śani and Nīla (the dark one); he is cruel and lean of limb. Rāhu is called Tamas, Asura, Agu and Saiṃhikeya (son of Siṃhikā); tawny-eyed and long of body are these two.

राहुस्तु स्वर्भानुविधुन्तुदौ स्यात्केतुः शिखी स्याद्ध्वजनामधेयः । शनेः सुतः स्याद्गुलिकोऽथ मान्दिर्यमात्मजः प्राणहरोऽतिपापी

rāhustu svarbhānuvidhuntudau syātketuḥ śikhī syāddhvajanāmadheyaḥ | śaneḥ sutaḥ syādguliko'tha māndiryamātmajaḥ prāṇaharo'tipāpī

Rāhu is also Svarbhānu and Vidhuntuda; Ketu is Śikhin and bears the name Dhvaja. The son of Saturn is Gulika, also called Māndi, Yamātmaja and Prāṇahara — the most sinful of all.

प्राणस्त्वसुः प्राणपदस्य नाम पर्यायमन्यत्प्रवदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः । धूमो धूम्रो पातः पातकश्च परिधिस्तथा परिवेषोऽप्युक्तम्

prāṇastvasuḥ prāṇapadasya nāma paryāyamanyatpravadanti tajjñāḥ | dhūmo dhūmro pātaḥ pātakaśca paridhistathā pariveṣo'pyuktam

Prāṇa and Asu are names of the Prāṇapada; those who know them declare them to be synonyms of one another. Dhūma is also Dhūmra; Pāta is also Pātaka; and Paridhi is likewise called Parivesha.

चापेन्द्रचापो धनुस्तथा च केतूपकेतौऽप्रकाशका

cāpendracāpo dhanustathā ca ketūpaketau'prakāśakā

Cāpa, Indracāpa and Dhanus are one and the same; and Ketu and Upaketu — these are the aprakāśaka, the lightless ones.

भानुर्युगात्राङ्कितदेहरक्तश्यामान्वितः पिङ्गलनेत्रकान्तिः । पित्तात्मकोऽयं समगात्रयष्टिः प्रतापयुक् सत्त्वगुणोल्परोमा

bhānuryugātrāṅkitadeharaktaśyāmānvitaḥ piṅgalanetrakāntiḥ | pittātmako'yaṃ samagātrayaṣṭiḥ pratāpayuk sattvaguṇolparomā

The Sun: his body is marked and of a dark-red hue, his eyes have a tawny lustre; he is of bilious constitution, with an evenly proportioned frame, full of majesty, of the sattva quality, and with little body-hair.

सञ्चारयुक् सङ्कुचितार्थवाक्यः स्वल्पप्रदो दैविकबुद्धियुक्तः । चन्द्रः सिताङ्गः समगात्रयष्टिर्वाग्मी परिध्यङ्गविवेक युक्तः

sañcārayuk saṅkucitārthavākyaḥ svalpaprado daivikabuddhiyuktaḥ | candraḥ sitāṅgaḥ samagātrayaṣṭirvāgmī paridhyaṅgaviveka yuktaḥ

He moves about much, is terse in his words, gives but little, and is endowed with a mind turned toward the divine. The Moon is white-bodied, of even frame, eloquent, round of limb and endowed with discernment.

क्वचित्कृशः शीतलवाक्ययुक्तः सत्त्वाश्रयो वातकफानिलात्मा । कोपाग्निनेत्रः सितरक्तगात्रः पित्तात्मकश्चञ्चलबुद्धियुक्तः

kvacitkṛśaḥ śītalavākyayuktaḥ sattvāśrayo vātakaphānilātmā | kopāgninetraḥ sitaraktagātraḥ pittātmakaścañcalabuddhiyuktaḥ

He is at times lean, cool in speech, a seat of sattva, and of a vāta-kapha constitution. Mars has eyes like the fire of anger, a body white and red, a bilious constitution, and a restless intellect.

कृशाङ्गयुक्तामसबुद्धियुक्तो भौमः प्रतापी रतिकेलिलोलः । दूर्वादलाभः शशिजोऽतिविद्वान् रजोगुणः सूनृतवाक्यजालः

kṛśāṅgayuktāmasabuddhiyukto bhaumaḥ pratāpī ratikelilolaḥ | dūrvādalābhaḥ śaśijo'tividvān rajoguṇaḥ sūnṛtavākyajālaḥ

Mars is lean of limb, of tāmasa intellect, majestic and eager for amorous play. Mercury has the hue of a dūrvā leaf, is very learned, of the rajas quality, and a weaver of pleasant and truthful speech.

हास्यप्रियः पित्तकफानिलात्मा सद्यः प्रतापी ननु पुंश्चलश्च । बृहस्पतिस्तुन्दिलगात्रयष्टिः कफात्मकः श्रेष्ठमतिः सुविद्वान्

hāsyapriyaḥ pittakaphānilātmā sadyaḥ pratāpī nanu puṃścalaśca | bṛhaspatistundilagātrayaṣṭiḥ kaphātmakaḥ śreṣṭhamatiḥ suvidvān

He is fond of laughter, of a constitution combining pitta, kapha and vāta, quick to show his power, and indeed fickle. Jupiter has a portly frame, a kapha constitution, excellent judgment and deep learning.

सत्त्वाश्रयः सर्वगुणाभिरामः पिङ्गाक्षमूर्धन्यकचाभिरामः । सुलोचनश्चास्फुजिदात्तकामः सुखी बली सुन्दरकान्तिपूर्णः

sattvāśrayaḥ sarvaguṇābhirāmaḥ piṅgākṣamūrdhanyakacābhirāmaḥ | sulocanaścāsphujidāttakāmaḥ sukhī balī sundarakāntipūrṇaḥ

He is a seat of sattva, delightful with every good quality, tawny-eyed and beautiful with the hair of his head. Venus (Āsphujit) has fine eyes, is full of desire, happy, strong, and full of lovely radiance.

आनीलवर्णाङ्कितरोमयुक्तो रजोगुणः सर्वगुणाभिरामः । जाल्मस्तु मन्दः कृशदीर्घगात्रः पिङ्गेक्षणः क्रूरकचाभिरामः

ānīlavarṇāṅkitaromayukto rajoguṇaḥ sarvaguṇābhirāmaḥ | jālmastu mandaḥ kṛśadīrghagātraḥ piṅgekṣaṇaḥ krūrakacābhirāmaḥ

He is marked with hair of a bluish tint, of the rajas quality, and delightful with every good quality. Saturn is base and slow, with a lean and tall body, tawny-eyed, and with coarse hair.

स्थूलद्विजस्तामसबुद्धियुक्तो वातात्मको वाक्कठिनस्तु निन्द्यः । बलेन निश्चित्य वदेद् ग्रहाणां तत्प्राश्निके जन्मनि तद्गुणांस्तु

sthūladvijastāmasabuddhiyukto vātātmako vākkaṭhinastu nindyaḥ | balena niścitya vaded grahāṇāṃ tatprāśnike janmani tadguṇāṃstu

He has large teeth, a tāmasa intellect, a vāta constitution, harsh speech, and is to be censured. Having first determined by strength which planet prevails, one should declare its qualities — in a praśna and in a nativity alike.

विप्रौ भवेतां गुरुदानवेज्यौ दिनेशभौमौ नरपालमुख्यौ । सोमश्च विद्वैश्यकुलप्रसूतो दिनेशपुत्रस्तु चतुर्थवर्णः

viprau bhavetāṃ gurudānavejyau dineśabhaumau narapālamukhyau | somaśca vidvaiśyakulaprasūto dineśaputrastu caturthavarṇaḥ

Jupiter and Venus, the preceptor of the demons, are the two brāhmaṇas; the Sun and Mars are foremost among the ruling class; the Moon and Mercury are born of the vaiśya class; and Saturn, the Sun's son, is of the fourth varṇa.

चाण्डालजातिस्त्वथ सैंहिकेयः केतुश्च जात्यन्तरमन्त्रमान्दिः

cāṇḍālajātistvatha saiṃhikeyaḥ ketuśca jātyantaramantramāndiḥ

Rāhu, son of Siṃhikā, is of the cāṇḍāla class; Ketu belongs to a mixed caste, and Māndi to the lowest.

रक्तः श्वेतोऽतिरक्तो हरितकनकरुक् चित्रनीलास्तु नाथा वह्न्यम्भस्त्वग्निजातो हरिसुरगणराडिन्द्रभार्याब्जजाताः । भानुः काव्यो धराभूरगुशनिशशिनः सोमपुत्रामरेज्या ज्ञेयास्त्विन्द्रादिनाथाः क्रियवृषमिथुना राशयस्ते सचान्द्राः

raktaḥ śveto'tirakto haritakanakaruk citranīlāstu nāthā vahnyambhastvagnijāto harisuragaṇarāḍindrabhāryābjajātāḥ | bhānuḥ kāvyo dharābhūraguśaniśaśinaḥ somaputrāmarejyā jñeyāstvindrādināthāḥ kriyavṛṣamithunā rāśayaste sacāndrāḥ

Red, white, deep red, green, gold-coloured, variegated and dark blue are the colours of the lords. Fire, Water, the fire-born Kārttikeya, Viṣṇu, Indra lord of the host of gods, Indra's consort and the lotus-born Brahmā are the presiding deities. The Sun, Venus, Mars, Rāhu, Saturn, the Moon, Mercury and Jupiter are to be known as the lords of the [quarters] beginning with Indra's [the east]; and the signs, Aries, Taurus, Gemini and the rest, follow in order.

क्षीणेन्दुभूसूनुदिनेशमन्दाः पापा बुधस्तत्सहितस्तु पापः । नपुंसकौ सौम्यदिनेशपुत्रौ शशाङ्कशुक्रौ युवती च शेषाः

kṣīṇendubhūsūnudineśamandāḥ pāpā budhastatsahitastu pāpaḥ | napuṃsakau saumyadineśaputrau śaśāṅkaśukrau yuvatī ca śeṣāḥ

The waning Moon, Mars, the Sun and Saturn are malefics; and Mercury, when joined with them, is a malefic too. Mercury and Saturn, the Sun's son, are the two neuter planets; the Moon and Venus are female; and the rest are male.

नरग्रहा भानुकुजामरेज्याः सूतौ बलात्तत्प्रवदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः । भौमस्य मज्जाऽपि वसा गुरोस्तु शुक्रं भृगोस्त्वक् शशिनन्दनस्य

naragrahā bhānukujāmarejyāḥ sūtau balāttatpravadanti tajjñāḥ | bhaumasya majjā'pi vasā gurostu śukraṃ bhṛgostvak śaśinandanasya

The Sun, Mars and Jupiter are the male planets; those who know declare this by strength. For Mars the dhātu is marrow; for Jupiter, fat; for Venus, semen; and for Mercury, skin.

चन्द्रस्य रक्तं दिनपस्य चास्थि स्नायुः शनेर्धातुवशादुपाधिः । तद्धातुकोपान्मरणं प्रयाति रन्ध्रस्थितानामिह खेचराणाम्

candrasya raktaṃ dinapasya cāsthi snāyuḥ śanerdhātuvaśādupādhiḥ | taddhātukopānmaraṇaṃ prayāti randhrasthitānāmiha khecarāṇām

For the Moon the dhātu is blood, for the Sun bone, and for Saturn sinew. The nature of the affliction follows the dhātu: death comes through the derangement of that dhātu, in the case of the planets standing in the 8th house.

क्रीडास्थानं सोमपुत्रस्य कोशस्थानं जीवस्येवमाहुर्भृगोस्तु । सुप्तिस्थानं भानुजस्योत्करन्तु सर्पस्थानं सैंहिकेयस्य चैवम्

krīḍāsthānaṃ somaputrasya kośasthānaṃ jīvasyevamāhurbhṛgostu | suptisthānaṃ bhānujasyotkarantu sarpasthānaṃ saiṃhikeyasya caivam

A place of play belongs to Mercury, a treasury to Jupiter, and a sleeping place to Venus; a heap of rubbish to Saturn, and a serpent's hole to Rāhu.

जीर्णं शनेर्वासरनायकस्य स्थूलं गुरोर्मध्यमकं कवेश्च

jīrṇaṃ śanervāsaranāyakasya sthūlaṃ gurormadhyamakaṃ kaveśca

An old garment belongs to Saturn, a coarse one to the Sun, and a middling one to Jupiter and to Venus.

काठिन्यमब्जस्य तु नूतनं वित् क्लिन्नं कुजस्याग्निहतं च वस्त्रम् । कन्था फणीन्द्रस्य तु चित्ररूपा केतोर्महाछिद्रयुता विशेषात्

kāṭhinyamabjasya tu nūtanaṃ vit klinnaṃ kujasyāgnihataṃ ca vastram | kanthā phaṇīndrasya tu citrarūpā ketormahāchidrayutā viśeṣāt

Coarseness of cloth belongs to the Moon and a new cloth to Mercury; a damp cloth and one scorched by fire to Mars; a variegated patched rag (kanthā) to Rāhu; and to Ketu especially one full of large holes.

ताम्रं दिनेशस्य निशाकरस्य मणिर्हिरण्यं तु धरासुतस्य । शुक्तिर्विदो देवगुरोस्तु रौप्यं मुक्ता भृगोरायसमर्कसूनोः

tāmraṃ dineśasya niśākarasya maṇirhiraṇyaṃ tu dharāsutasya | śuktirvido devagurostu raupyaṃ muktā bhṛgorāyasamarkasūnoḥ

Copper belongs to the Sun, a gem to the Moon, gold to Mars, a shell to Mercury, silver to Jupiter, a pearl to Venus, and iron to Saturn.

राहोस्तु शीशं शिखिनस्तु नैल्यं धरामणिस्तत्कथयन्ति तज्ज्ञाः । पीताम्बरं देवगुरोर्भृगोस्तु क्षौमाम्बरं भास्करमिन्द्रगोपम्

rāhostu śīśaṃ śikhinastu nailyaṃ dharāmaṇistatkathayanti tajjñāḥ | pītāmbaraṃ devagurorbhṛgostu kṣaumāmbaraṃ bhāskaramindragopam

To Rāhu belongs lead, and to Ketu what is dark blue and the earth-gem — so those who know declare. A yellow garment belongs to Jupiter, fine linen to Venus, and to the Sun cloth of the scarlet of the indragopa insect.

शुक्लं क्षामं रात्रिनाथस्य चान्द्रेः श्यामं क्षौमं रक्तचित्रं कुजस्य । वस्त्रं चित्रं पट्टवस्त्रं शनेस्तु नीलं राहोर्जीर्णचित्रान्वितञ्च

śuklaṃ kṣāmaṃ rātrināthasya cāndreḥ śyāmaṃ kṣaumaṃ raktacitraṃ kujasya | vastraṃ citraṃ paṭṭavastraṃ śanestu nīlaṃ rāhorjīrṇacitrānvitañca

White and thin cloth belongs to the Moon; dark linen to Mercury, the Moon's son; red and variegated cloth to Mars; variegated silk cloth as well; dark blue to Saturn; and to Rāhu cloth that is old and variegated.

रूपान्वितं तद्वसनञ्च केतोर्बलान्वितानां तु वदेद् ग्रहाणाम्

rūpānvitaṃ tadvasanañca ketorbalānvitānāṃ tu vaded grahāṇām

And a garment of striking appearance belongs to Ketu. These are to be declared of the planets that are strong.

भृगोर्वसन्तः क्षितिसूनुभान्वोर्ग्रीष्मः शशाङ्कस्य ऋतुः प्रवर्षः। विदः शरद्देवगुरोस्तु हैम्नो ऋतुः शनेः स्याच्छिशिरस्तु कालः

bhṛgorvasantaḥ kṣitisūnubhānvorgrīṣmaḥ śaśāṅkasya ṛtuḥ pravarṣaḥ| vidaḥ śaraddevagurostu haimno ṛtuḥ śaneḥ syācchiśirastu kālaḥ

Spring belongs to Venus; summer to Mars and the Sun; the rainy season to the Moon; autumn to Mercury; hemanta to Jupiter; and śiśira is Saturn's season.

द्रेष्काणपैस्तद्गतवस्तु वाच्यं प्रश्ने प्रसूतावपि नष्टसंज्ञे । भानोः कटुर्भूमिसुतस्य तिक्तं सोमस्य तावल्लवणं विदस्तु

dreṣkāṇapaistadgatavastu vācyaṃ praśne prasūtāvapi naṣṭasaṃjñe | bhānoḥ kaṭurbhūmisutasya tiktaṃ somasya tāvallavaṇaṃ vidastu

From the lords of the drekkāṇas the thing in question is to be declared — in a praśna, in a nativity, and in a question about a lost object alike. Pungent taste belongs to the Sun, bitter to Mars, salt to the Moon, and to Mercury

मिश्रीकृतं वस्तु सुरेज्यभृग्वोर्माधुर्यमम्लं च शनेः कषायः । ऋतुत्रयं वासरनायकस्य क्षणं शशाङ्कस्य दिनं कुजस्य

miśrīkṛtaṃ vastu surejyabhṛgvormādhuryamamlaṃ ca śaneḥ kaṣāyaḥ | ṛtutrayaṃ vāsaranāyakasya kṣaṇaṃ śaśāṅkasya dinaṃ kujasya

a mixed taste. Sweet belongs to Jupiter and sour to Venus, and astringent to Saturn. Three seasons is the Sun's measure of time, a moment the Moon's, and a day Mars's.

विदो ऋतुर्देवगुरोस्तु मासः पक्षो भृगोर्वत्सरमर्कसूनोः । अष्टौ तु मासास्तुहिनांशुशत्रोः केतोस्तु मासत्रयमेव कालः

vido ṛturdevagurostu māsaḥ pakṣo bhṛgorvatsaramarkasūnoḥ | aṣṭau tu māsāstuhināṃśuśatroḥ ketostu māsatrayameva kālaḥ

A season is Mercury's measure, a month Jupiter's, a fortnight Venus's, a year Saturn's; eight months belong to Rāhu, the enemy of the cool-rayed Moon; and Ketu's period is just three months.

धातुग्रहा राहुशनीन्दुभौमा मूलग्रहौ शुक्रदिनाधिनाथौ । जीवग्रहौ जीवशशाङ्कसूनू मेषादि दस्रादि यथाक्रमेण

dhātugrahā rāhuśanīndubhaumā mūlagrahau śukradinādhināthau | jīvagrahau jīvaśaśāṅkasūnū meṣādi dasrādi yathākrameṇa

Rāhu, Saturn, the Moon and Mars are the dhātu planets; Venus and the Sun are the two mūla planets; Jupiter and Mercury are the two jīva planets. The signs beginning with Aries and the nakṣatras beginning with Aśvinī are taken in that order.

अथोर्ध्वदृष्टी दिननाथभौमौ दृष्टिः कटाक्षेण कवीन्दुसून्वोः । शशाङ्कगुर्वोः समभागदृष्टिस्त्वधोक्षिपातस्त्वहिनाथशन्योः

athordhvadṛṣṭī dinanāthabhaumau dṛṣṭiḥ kaṭākṣeṇa kavīndusūnvoḥ | śaśāṅkagurvoḥ samabhāgadṛṣṭistvadhokṣipātastvahināthaśanyoḥ

Now, the Sun and Mars gaze upward; Venus and Mercury (son of the Moon) look with a sidelong glance; the Moon and Jupiter have a level, straight gaze; while Rāhu, lord of serpents, and Saturn cast their eyes downward.

पश्यत्यसौ भानुसुतस्तृतीयं मानं च पूर्णं चतुरस्रमारः । जीवस्त्रिकोणं मदनं च सर्वे पश्यन्ति दृष्ट्या चरणप्रवृद्ध्या

paśyatyasau bhānusutastṛtīyaṃ mānaṃ ca pūrṇaṃ caturasramāraḥ | jīvastrikoṇaṃ madanaṃ ca sarve paśyanti dṛṣṭyā caraṇapravṛddhyā

Saturn aspects the third and the tenth (māna); Mars aspects the caturasra houses (the 4th and 8th) fully; Jupiter the trines (the 5th and 9th); and all the planets aspect the seventh — the aspect growing in strength by quarters.

भानोस्तु मित्राणि कुजेन्दुजीवाः समो बुधः शुक्रशनी विपक्षौ । इष्टौ शशाङ्कस्य दिनेशसौम्यौ शेषाः समाः भूमिसुतस्य मित्रम्

bhānostu mitrāṇi kujendujīvāḥ samo budhaḥ śukraśanī vipakṣau | iṣṭau śaśāṅkasya dineśasaumyau śeṣāḥ samāḥ bhūmisutasya mitram

The Sun's friends are Mars, the Moon and Jupiter; Mercury is neutral to him; Venus and Saturn are his adversaries. The Moon's well-wishers are the Sun and Mercury, the rest being neutral. Mars's friends are [as follows] —

रवीन्दुजीवाश्च बुधश्च शत्रुः समौ दिनेशात्मजदानवेज्यौ । सौम्यस्य मित्रे दिननाथशुक्रौ शेषाः समा रात्रिकरः सपत्नः

ravīndujīvāśca budhaśca śatruḥ samau dineśātmajadānavejyau | saumyasya mitre dinanāthaśukrau śeṣāḥ samā rātrikaraḥ sapatnaḥ

— the Sun, the Moon and Jupiter; Mercury is his enemy, while Saturn and Venus are neutral. Mercury's friends are the Sun and Venus; the rest are neutral to him, and the Moon, the maker of night, is his adversary.

शुक्रेन्दुजौ देवगुरोः सपत्नौ मित्राणि सर्वे रविजस्तु मध्यः । शनीन्दुजाविष्टकरौ भृगोस्तु शेषाः सपत्नाश्च समौ कुजेज्यौ

śukrendujau devaguroḥ sapatnau mitrāṇi sarve ravijastu madhyaḥ | śanīndujāviṣṭakarau bhṛgostu śeṣāḥ sapatnāśca samau kujejyau

Venus and Mercury are the adversaries of Jupiter, the preceptor of the gods; all the others are his friends, while Saturn is neutral. Saturn and Mercury are the well-wishers of Venus; the rest are his adversaries, and Mars and Jupiter are neutral to him.

सौरस्य मित्रे भृगुपुत्रसौम्यौ समो गुरुस्ते निखिलाः सपत्नाः । राहोस्तु मित्राणि कवीज्यमन्दाः केतोस्तथैवात्र वदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

saurasya mitre bhṛguputrasaumyau samo guruste nikhilāḥ sapatnāḥ | rāhostu mitrāṇi kavījyamandāḥ ketostathaivātra vadanti tajjñāḥ

Saturn's friends are Venus and Mercury; Jupiter is neutral to him; all the rest are his adversaries. Rāhu's friends are Venus, Jupiter and Saturn; and those who know declare the same for Ketu here.

भवन्ति तात्कालिकमित्रभूताः सर्वे च वाक्सोदरबन्धुयुक्ताः । स्वात्स्वात्क्रमाद्व्युत्क्रमतस्तथैवमन्यस्थितास्तत्समयारिभूताः

bhavanti tātkālikamitrabhūtāḥ sarve ca vāksodarabandhuyuktāḥ | svātsvātkramādvyutkramatastathaivamanyasthitāstatsamayāribhūtāḥ

All planets become temporal friends when, reckoned from each planet's own place, they stand in the houses of speech, of brothers and of kinsmen — that is, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the forward order and their counterparts in the reverse order; those placed otherwise become, for that occasion, temporal enemies.

तत्कालमित्रं तु निसर्गमित्रं द्वयं भवेत्तत्त्वधिमित्रसंज्ञम् । तथैव शत्रोरधिशत्रुसंज्ञमेकत्र शत्रुः समतामुपैति

tatkālamitraṃ tu nisargamitraṃ dvayaṃ bhavettattvadhimitrasaṃjñam | tathaiva śatroradhiśatrusaṃjñamekatra śatruḥ samatāmupaiti

When a planet is at once a temporal friend and a natural friend, the two together give it the designation 'great friend' (adhimitra); in the same way, for an enemy, the designation 'great enemy' (adhiśatru); and where the two contrary relations meet in one planet, the enmity is reduced to neutrality.

स्वोच्चे सुहृद्भे स्वनवांशकेऽपि स्वर्क्षे दृकाणे द्विरसांशकेऽपि । कलांशकाद्यंशयुतेऽपि चैवमुपैति तत्स्थानबलं ग्रहेन्द्रः

svocce suhṛdbhe svanavāṃśake'pi svarkṣe dṛkāṇe dvirasāṃśake'pi | kalāṃśakādyaṃśayute'pi caivamupaiti tatsthānabalaṃ grahendraḥ

In its exaltation, in a friend's sign, in its own navāṃśa, in its own sign, in its own dreṣkāṇa, in its own twelfth-part, and likewise when joined with the sixtieth and the other divisions — thus does a planet acquire its positional strength (sthāna-bala).

लग्ने बुधेज्यौ बलिनौ तु पूर्वे वीर्ये यमे तद्दशमेऽर्क भौमौ । कामेऽर्कसूनुर्बलवाञ्जलेशे बन्धौ निशानाथकवी कुबेरे

lagne budhejyau balinau tu pūrve vīrye yame taddaśame'rka bhaumau | kāme'rkasūnurbalavāñjaleśe bandhau niśānāthakavī kubere

Mercury and Jupiter are strong in the lagna, the eastern quarter; the Sun and Mars in the tenth, the quarter of Yama; Saturn is strong in the seventh, the quarter of the lord of waters; and the Moon and Venus in the fourth, the quarter of Kubera.

तत्सप्तमे दिग्बलशून्यमाहुस्तदन्तरे चेत्त्वनुपात एव । स्वमासहोरादिनवत्सरेषु वीर्यान्विता भानुमुखा ग्रहेन्द्राः

tatsaptame digbalaśūnyamāhustadantare cettvanupāta eva | svamāsahorādinavatsareṣu vīryānvitā bhānumukhā grahendrāḥ

In the seventh from that point they declare a planet to be void of directional strength; and if it stands between the two, the value is simply by proportion. The planets beginning with the Sun are endowed with strength in their own month, their own horā, their own day and their own year.

रात्रौ बलाढ्या शनिचन्द्रभौमास्त्रयो ग्रहाश्चाह्नि रवीज्यशुक्राः । सदा बली वित्सितकृष्णपक्षे सौम्यास्तदन्ये बलिनः क्रमेण

rātrau balāḍhyā śanicandrabhaumāstrayo grahāścāhni ravījyaśukrāḥ | sadā balī vitsitakṛṣṇapakṣe saumyāstadanye balinaḥ krameṇa

Saturn, the Moon and Mars — these three — are strong by night, and the Sun, Jupiter and Venus by day. Mercury is strong at all times; and benefics are strong in the bright fortnight, the others in the dark, each in its turn.

शुभेक्षिताः पूर्णबलान्वितास्तु दृष्टेर्बलं पापखगैरदृष्टः । सौम्यायने त्वतिबली दिवसाधिनाथश्चन्द्रस्तदन्यसमये बलपूर्णयुक्तः

śubhekṣitāḥ pūrṇabalānvitāstu dṛṣṭerbalaṃ pāpakhagairadṛṣṭaḥ | saumyāyane tvatibalī divasādhināthaścandrastadanyasamaye balapūrṇayuktaḥ

Planets aspected by benefics are endowed with full strength, and the strength of aspect (dṛṣṭi-bala) belongs to one unaspected by malefic planets. In the northern course the Sun is exceedingly strong, while the Moon is full of strength at the other season.

मन्दारसौम्यगुरुशुक्रशशाङ्कसूर्या । नैसर्गिकाख्यबलिनः खचराः क्रमेण

mandārasaumyaguruśukraśaśāṅkasūryā | naisargikākhyabalinaḥ khacarāḥ krameṇa

Saturn, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, the Moon and the Sun — the planets stand, in that order, in the strength called natural (naisargika).

वक्रान्विताः क्षितिसुतप्रमुखाः समस्ता । युद्धे जयी जलपदिग्गतकान्तियुक्तः

vakrānvitāḥ kṣitisutapramukhāḥ samastā | yuddhe jayī jalapadiggatakāntiyuktaḥ

All the planets beginning with Mars are strong when retrograde. In a planetary war the victor is the one that stands in the quarter of the lord of waters and is endowed with brightness.

लग्नस्य वीर्यमधिपस्य बलं तु सर्वम् । मुख्यं वदन्ति खलु षड्विधवीर्यमेवम्

lagnasya vīryamadhipasya balaṃ tu sarvam | mukhyaṃ vadanti khalu ṣaḍvidhavīryamevam

The strength of the lagna is reckoned as the whole strength of its lord. This they call the principal strength; and such is the sixfold strength (ṣaḍbala).

लग्नं नृभं चेद्दलमत्र रूपमाब्जं चतुष्पाद्भमथार्धसंज्ञम् । चेत् कीटलग्नं किमपीह नास्ति स्फुटं विलग्नस्य बलं तदाहुः

lagnaṃ nṛbhaṃ ceddalamatra rūpamābjaṃ catuṣpādbhamathārdhasaṃjñam | cet kīṭalagnaṃ kimapīha nāsti sphuṭaṃ vilagnasya balaṃ tadāhuḥ

If the lagna is a human sign, half a rūpa is assigned here; if a watery sign, a quarter; if a quadruped sign, that which is called a half; and if the lagna is the insect sign, there is nothing at all. Thus they state the exact strength of the ascendant.

सार्द्धानि षट् तीक्ष्णकरो बलीयाँश्चन्द्रस्य षट्पञ्च वसुन्धराजः । सप्तेन्दुसूनोरपि षड्गुरोश्च सार्द्धानि पञ्चाथ सितो बलीयान्

sārddhāni ṣaṭ tīkṣṇakaro balīyām̐ścandrasya ṣaṭpañca vasundharājaḥ | saptendusūnorapi ṣaḍgurośca sārddhāni pañcātha sito balīyān

The Sun is strong with six and a half; the Moon with six and Mars with five; Mercury with seven and Jupiter with six; and Venus is strong with five and a half.

मन्दस्तु पञ्चैव च षड्बलानां संयोग एवापरथान्यथास्युः । रूपत्रयं बलमुशन्त्यथ पादहीनं स्थानं तु दिग्बलमथांघ्रिविहीनरूपम्

mandastu pañcaiva ca ṣaḍbalānāṃ saṃyoga evāparathānyathāsyuḥ | rūpatrayaṃ balamuśantyatha pādahīnaṃ sthānaṃ tu digbalamathāṃghrivihīnarūpam

Saturn with just five. This is the sum of the six strengths; otherwise the values would be different. They reckon the positional strength at three rūpas less a quarter, and the directional strength at one rūpa less a quarter.

ऋत्वंशहीनबलमत्र तु चेष्टिताख्यमष्टांशहीनयुगमेव तु कालवीर्यम् । पूर्णाबला रविशशाङ्कसुतामरेज्याश्चार्धं बलं त्वयनजं हि पृथग्विभागे

ṛtvaṃśahīnabalamatra tu ceṣṭitākhyamaṣṭāṃśahīnayugameva tu kālavīryam | pūrṇābalā raviśaśāṅkasutāmarejyāścārdhaṃ balaṃ tvayanajaṃ hi pṛthagvibhāge

Here the strength called ceṣṭā is one less a sixth part, and the temporal strength two less an eighth. The Sun, Mercury and Jupiter are of full strength; and the ayana-bala is half, taken in its separate reckoning.

रसांशहीनं दिशि वीर्यमाहुः स्थाने तु पादाधिकयुग्मरूपम् । कालं बलं त्र्यंशविहीनयुग्ममर्द्धं भवेच्चेष्टितवीर्यमेव

rasāṃśahīnaṃ diśi vīryamāhuḥ sthāne tu pādādhikayugmarūpam | kālaṃ balaṃ tryaṃśavihīnayugmamarddhaṃ bhavecceṣṭitavīryameva

They declare the directional strength to be one less a sixth part; the positional strength two rūpas and a quarter; the temporal strength two less a third; and the ceṣṭā strength just a half.

त्र्यंशोनमेकं त्वयनं बलं स्याच्छीतांशुदेवेन्द्रसपत्नगुर्वोः । चेष्टाबलं त्र्यंशविहीनमेकं साष्टांशरूपं समये बलं स्यात्

tryaṃśonamekaṃ tvayanaṃ balaṃ syācchītāṃśudevendrasapatnagurvoḥ | ceṣṭābalaṃ tryaṃśavihīnamekaṃ sāṣṭāṃśarūpaṃ samaye balaṃ syāt

The ayana strength is one less a third for the Moon and for Venus, the preceptor of the foes of Indra; the ceṣṭā strength is one less a third, and the temporal strength one rūpa with an eighth part.

दिश्यर्द्धरूपं बलमायनं च त्र्यंशं भवेत्स्थानिकमर्द्धयुग्मम् । दिनेशपुत्रस्य वसुन्धरायाः सूनोः क्रमाद्वीर्यमुदाहरन्ति

diśyarddharūpaṃ balamāyanaṃ ca tryaṃśaṃ bhavetsthānikamarddhayugmam | dineśaputrasya vasundharāyāḥ sūnoḥ kramādvīryamudāharanti

The directional strength half a rūpa, the ayana strength a third, and the positional strength two and a half — such, in order, are the strengths declared for Saturn, son of the Sun, and for Mars, son of the Earth.

आरोहवीर्याः प्रभवन्ति भावसमानपर्यन्तमतश्च्युताः स्युः । स्वोच्चे सुहृत्क्षेत्रगते ग्रहेन्द्रे षड्भिर्बलैर्मुख्यबलान्वितोऽपि

ārohavīryāḥ prabhavanti bhāvasamānaparyantamataścyutāḥ syuḥ | svocce suhṛtkṣetragate grahendre ṣaḍbhirbalairmukhyabalānvito'pi

The rising strengths prevail up to the mid-point of the house and decline beyond it. Even when a planet stands in its exaltation or in a friend's sign, and is endowed with the principal strength among the six —

सन्धौ स्थितः सन्नफलः प्रदिष्टश्चिन्त्यं विशेषेण दशाविपाके । प्राणत्रिकोणं प्रवदन्ति लग्नं तदेव मान्द्यान्वितराशिकोणे

sandhau sthitaḥ sannaphalaḥ pradiṣṭaścintyaṃ viśeṣeṇa daśāvipāke | prāṇatrikoṇaṃ pravadanti lagnaṃ tadeva māndyānvitarāśikoṇe

— a planet standing at the junction of the houses (sandhi) is declared to be barren of fruit; and this is especially to be weighed in the ripening of a daśā. They call the lagna the 'trine of the vital breath'; and it is determined likewise in the trine from the sign occupied by Māndi.

मान्द्यंशकात्कोणगतं विलग्नं तदंशकामस्थितराशिकोणे । शशाङ्कसंयुक्तभकोणराशौ तदंशकात्तन्मदकोणभे वा

māndyaṃśakātkoṇagataṃ vilagnaṃ tadaṃśakāmasthitarāśikoṇe | śaśāṅkasaṃyuktabhakoṇarāśau tadaṃśakāttanmadakoṇabhe vā

The lagna is that which lies in a trine from the navāṃśa of Māndi; or in the trine of the sign occupied by the seventh from that navāṃśa; or in the trine of the sign joined with the Moon; or, from that navāṃśa, in the trine of the seventh therefrom.

प्रश्नेऽपि तज्जन्मसमानकाले लग्नस्य निश्चायकमत्र तज्ज्ञाः । तयोर्बलेनापि विकल्पमाहुर्लग्नाब्जयोरित्थमुदाहरन्ति

praśne'pi tajjanmasamānakāle lagnasya niścāyakamatra tajjñāḥ | tayorbalenāpi vikalpamāhurlagnābjayoritthamudāharanti

In a praśna also, at the time answering to that birth, those versed in this take it as the determinant of the lagna; and they state the alternative according to the strength of the two — the lagna and the Moon — and so they declare it.

लग्ने बले मान्दिवशाद्विलग्नं चन्द्रे बले चन्द्रबलाद्विलग्नम् । ओजे तदंशे पुरुषस्य जन्म लग्ने स्त्रियस्तद्विपरीतभांशे

lagne bale māndivaśādvilagnaṃ candre bale candrabalādvilagnam | oje tadaṃśe puruṣasya janma lagne striyastadviparītabhāṃśe

If the lagna is the stronger, the ascendant is settled by Māndi; if the Moon is the stronger, it is settled by the Moon's strength. When the sign and its navāṃśa are odd, the birth is of a male; and when the sign and navāṃśa are the reverse of that (even), it is of a female.

क्रमाद्ग्रहः पाचकबोधकश्च सकारको वेधकसंज्ञकश्च । मन्दारजीवामरशत्रुपूज्याः शुक्रारसूर्यात्मजवासरेशाः

kramādgrahaḥ pācakabodhakaśca sakārako vedhakasaṃjñakaśca | mandārajīvāmaraśatrupūjyāḥ śukrārasūryātmajavāsareśāḥ

The planets are, in order, the ripener (pācaka), the awakener (bodhaka), the significator (kāraka) and the piercer (vedhaka). The lists run: Saturn, Mars, Jupiter and Venus, the preceptor honoured by the foes of the gods; then Venus, Mars, Saturn and the Sun, lord of the day.

रवीन्दुसूर्यात्मजचन्द्रपुत्राः शशाङ्कजीवाच्छधरासुताश्च । सूर्यात्मजारेन्दुदिनाधिनाथा सौम्येन्दुपुत्राऽर्कदिनेशपुत्राः

ravīndusūryātmajacandraputrāḥ śaśāṅkajīvācchadharāsutāśca | sūryātmajārendudinādhināthā saumyenduputrā'rkadineśaputrāḥ

Then the Sun, the Moon, Saturn and Mercury; the Moon, Jupiter, [one name unresolved] and Mars; Saturn, Mars, the Moon and the Sun; Mercury, Mercury, the Sun and Saturn.

शुक्रेन्दुदेवेज्यधरासुताश्च भवन्ति तत्पाकमुखाः ग्रहेन्द्राः

śukrendudevejyadharāsutāśca bhavanti tatpākamukhāḥ grahendrāḥ

Venus, the Moon, Jupiter and Mars are the chief planets that stand at the head of those daśās.

स्थानानि वक्ष्ये क्रमशो ग्रहाणां षट्सप्तधर्मायगताः क्रमेण । भानोः शशाङ्कान्मदभाग्यलाभयुक्तास्तृतीयेन धरासुताच्च

sthānāni vakṣye kramaśo grahāṇāṃ ṣaṭsaptadharmāyagatāḥ krameṇa | bhānoḥ śaśāṅkānmadabhāgyalābhayuktāstṛtīyena dharāsutācca

I shall now state in order the [special] places of the planets. From the Sun they are the sixth, seventh, ninth and eleventh, in that order; from the Moon, the seventh, ninth and eleventh; and from Mars, the same together with the third.

धनारिला भान्त्यगताब्जसूनोः द्वितीयबन्ध्वात्मजसोदराश्च । गुरोस्तु षष्ठात्मजकामरिष्फाः शुक्राद्धनारिव्ययबन्धुयुक्ताः

dhanārilā bhāntyagatābjasūnoḥ dvitīyabandhvātmajasodarāśca | gurostu ṣaṣṭhātmajakāmariṣphāḥ śukrāddhanārivyayabandhuyuktāḥ

The second, sixth, eleventh and twelfth; for Mercury, the second, fourth, fifth and third; for Jupiter, the sixth, fifth, seventh and twelfth; and for Venus, the second, sixth, twelfth and fourth.

तृतीयलाभारिकलत्रगास्तु दिनेशसूनोः प्रवदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

tṛtīyalābhārikalatragāstu dineśasūnoḥ pravadanti tajjñāḥ

For Saturn, those versed in the subject declare them to be the third, eleventh, sixth and seventh.

शत्रुर्दिनेशस्य तु पाचकः स्यान्मित्राणि शेषाः शशिनस्तु वैरी । व्यये तु भौमस्य च वेधकश्च शत्रुर्बुधस्यान्तकरो गुरोस्तु

śatrurdineśasya tu pācakaḥ syānmitrāṇi śeṣāḥ śaśinastu vairī | vyaye tu bhaumasya ca vedhakaśca śatrurbudhasyāntakaro gurostu

For the Sun the hostile planet is its pācaka (ripener), and the rest are friends; for the Moon likewise the hostile one. For Mars the vedhaka stands in the twelfth. For Mercury the enemy is its antaka (the maker of an end); and for Jupiter —

पाकग्रहो वेधकसंज्ञकश्च शत्रुर्भवेदास्फुजितश्च वैरी । सकारको वेधकसंज्ञकश्च शनेस्तु तत्कारकखेचरोऽरिः

pākagraho vedhakasaṃjñakaśca śatrurbhavedāsphujitaśca vairī | sakārako vedhakasaṃjñakaśca śanestu tatkārakakhecaro'riḥ

— the daśā-planet is also called the vedhaka, and the hostile one is its enemy; and for Venus likewise the hostile one. The planet that carries the kāraka is also called the vedhaka; and for Saturn, the planet that acts as its kāraka is its enemy.

मिष्टान्नपानाम्बर भूषणाप्तिं राज्यार्थभूलाभमतीव सौख्यम् । धैर्यं महोत्साहमतीव शक्तिं कुर्याद्ग्रहः पाचकसंज्ञकोऽयम्

miṣṭānnapānāmbara bhūṣaṇāptiṃ rājyārthabhūlābhamatīva saukhyam | dhairyaṃ mahotsāhamatīva śaktiṃ kuryādgrahaḥ pācakasaṃjñako'yam

The planet called the pācaka gives the obtaining of sweet food and drink, of garments and ornaments; the gain of a kingdom, of wealth and of land; very great happiness; steadiness; great enthusiasm; and exceeding power.

मित्रे यथान्यायफलं तदन्ये ग्रहे तदन्यत्फलमातनोति । समग्रभाग्यं बहुराजपूज्यं विद्यां विनोदाङ्कितराजगोष्ठीम्

mitre yathānyāyaphalaṃ tadanye grahe tadanyatphalamātanoti | samagrabhāgyaṃ bahurājapūjyaṃ vidyāṃ vinodāṅkitarājagoṣṭhīm

In a friendly planet it gives the result as is proper; in a planet other than that it produces a different result. [The bodhaka gives] good fortune complete in every part, honour from many kings, learning, and a place in royal assemblies marked by pleasant diversion,

दयातपः प्राप्तमचिन्त्यभाग्यं कुर्यात्फलं बोधकसंज्ञकश्च । ग्रहे तु तस्मिन् फलमातनोति समग्रपर्याप्तफलं तदन्ये

dayātapaḥ prāptamacintyabhāgyaṃ kuryātphalaṃ bodhakasaṃjñakaśca | grahe tu tasmin phalamātanoti samagraparyāptaphalaṃ tadanye

compassion, austerity, and good fortune beyond imagining — such is the result the planet called the bodhaka produces. When the daśā falls in that planet itself it yields its own result, and in another planet it yields a full and sufficient result.

विदेशयानं धननाशनं च वेधग्रहस्तत्फलमन्यथान्यः

videśayānaṃ dhananāśanaṃ ca vedhagrahastatphalamanyathānyaḥ

The vedha planet causes travel to foreign countries and the destruction of wealth; a different planet gives that result in a different measure.

भाग्यं क्वचित्क्षीणफलं क्वचिच्च दारार्थबन्ध्वात्मजरोगपीडा । चौराग्निपीडा कलही जनैस्तु सकारको मित्रसमो यदि स्यात्

bhāgyaṃ kvacitkṣīṇaphalaṃ kvacicca dārārthabandhvātmajarogapīḍā | caurāgnipīḍā kalahī janaistu sakārako mitrasamo yadi syāt

If the planet bearing the kāraka is like a friend, there is good fortune in some matters and diminished result in others; affliction by disease to wife, wealth, kinsmen and children; trouble from thieves and fire; and quarrels with people.

सकारको वैरिसमो न तत्तु वदन्ति व्यत्यासफलं विशेषात् । चौराग्निबन्धुक्षितिपालसंघैरतीव दुःखं स्वपदच्युतञ्च

sakārako vairisamo na tattu vadanti vyatyāsaphalaṃ viśeṣāt | caurāgnibandhukṣitipālasaṃghairatīva duḥkhaṃ svapadacyutañca

But if the planet bearing the kāraka is like an enemy, they declare not that but especially the reverse result: very great misery from thieves, fire, kinsmen and rulers together, and a fall from one's own position.

तरुखरजयनृपतनुखनिनाड्यो भास्करादिवारेषु । दिनमानघटीगुणिता नागहृता गुलिकनाडिकाः स्पष्टाः

tarukharajayanṛpatanukhanināḍyo bhāskarādivāreṣu | dinamānaghaṭīguṇitā nāgahṛtā gulikanāḍikāḥ spaṣṭāḥ

On the weekdays beginning with Sunday the figures are taru (26), khara (22), jaya (18), [the word for 14 is lost], nṛpa (10), tanu (6) and khani (2) ghaṭīs. Multiplied by the length of the day in ghaṭīs and divided by nāga (thirty), they give the exact ghaṭīs of Gulika.

स्फुटगुलिकनाडिकाभिस्तत्कालार्केण सायनेनापि । लग्नवदानेतव्यो राश्यंशकलादिरूपको गुलिकः

sphuṭagulikanāḍikābhistatkālārkeṇa sāyanenāpi | lagnavadānetavyo rāśyaṃśakalādirūpako gulikaḥ

From the exact ghaṭīs of Gulika, together with the Sun of that moment taken with the ayanāṃśa added, Gulika is to be worked out exactly as the lagna is, in the form of sign, degree, minute and so on.

चन्द्ररुद्रजयवैद्यनृपातोनाखुनाडिनिहितादिनमानात् । नागलब्धमितमान्दिघटी स्याल्लग्नवत्स्फुटमिहानयनं हि

candrarudrajayavaidyanṛpātonākhunāḍinihitādinamānāt | nāgalabdhamitamāndighaṭī syāllagnavatsphuṭamihānayanaṃ hi

candra (26), rudra (22), jaya (18), vaidya (14), nṛpa (10) and the rest are the ghaṭīs; taken with the measure of the day and divided by nāga (thirty), the quotient gives the ghaṭīs of Māndi. Here too the exact reduction is made just as for the lagna.

पाकेशाद्वसुभान्त्यशत्रुभवने युक्तोपहारेश्वरः तच्छत्रुर्भवतीह लाभधनभे सोत्थात्मजे बन्धुभे । भाग्ये वा दशमे समन्वितग्रहस्तच्छोभनाख्य स्वतः तत्कामान्वितखेचरस्त्वशुभदः प्रोक्तो ग्रहाणां क्रमः

pākeśādvasubhāntyaśatrubhavane yuktopahāreśvaraḥ tacchatrurbhavatīha lābhadhanabhe sotthātmaje bandhubhe | bhāgye vā daśame samanvitagrahastacchobhanākhya svataḥ tatkāmānvitakhecarastvaśubhadaḥ prokto grahāṇāṃ kramaḥ

A planet standing with the lord of the daśā in the eighth, twelfth or sixth house from it is the lord of upahāra, and is here its enemy. A planet standing with it in the eleventh, second, third, fifth, fourth, ninth or tenth is of itself called śobhana, the auspicious one; but a planet standing with it in the seventh gives inauspicious results. Such is the order of the planets.

पापग्रहादिसहितो द्युचरस्तु शत्रुः स्यात्स्थानतोऽपि शुभदस्त्वतिशोभनाख्यः । स्थानानुरूपफलमेव विचिन्त्य मार्गं ज्ञात्वा वदन्ति मुनयो जगतां सुसिद्ध्यै

pāpagrahādisahito dyucarastu śatruḥ syātsthānato'pi śubhadastvatiśobhanākhyaḥ | sthānānurūpaphalameva vicintya mārgaṃ jñātvā vadanti munayo jagatāṃ susiddhyai

A planet joined with malefics and the like becomes an enemy; but one that gives good results by its position as well is called atiśobhana, the exceedingly auspicious. Weighing the result that answers to the position and knowing the method, the sages declare it for the good success of all the worlds.

संज्ञाध्यायो वर्णितः सर्वशास्त्रात्सारं बुद्ध्वा सर्वलोकोपकारम् । यद्यत्सर्वं वेङ्कटेशेन बुद्ध्वा तत्तत्पाके योजयेत्तत्फलानि

saṃjñādhyāyo varṇitaḥ sarvaśāstrātsāraṃ buddhvā sarvalokopakāram | yadyatsarvaṃ veṅkaṭeśena buddhvā tattatpāke yojayettatphalāni

The chapter on technical terms has been set forth, its substance drawn from all the śāstras, for the benefit of all people. Whatever Veṅkaṭeśa has here understood, let a man understand it too and apply those results to each daśā.

भावोद्भवानि विविधान्युचितानि यस्मात् शास्त्रान्तराद् ऋषिगणा दृढबुद्धयस्तु । यान्येव तानि खगयोगवशाद् वदन्ति बुद्ध्या समीक्ष्य विदुषां तु मुदे करोमि

bhāvodbhavāni vividhānyucitāni yasmāt śāstrāntarād ṛṣigaṇā dṛḍhabuddhayastu | yānyeva tāni khagayogavaśād vadanti buddhyā samīkṣya viduṣāṃ tu mude karomi

The manifold and fitting results that arise from the bhāvas, which the sages of firm understanding declare out of the other śāstras according to the combinations of the planets — those very things I now set down, having examined them with my own judgement, for the delight of the learned.

भावाः सर्वे शुभपतियुता वीक्षिता वा शुभेशै स्तत्तद्भावाः सकलफलदाः पापदृग्योगहीनाः । पापाः सर्वे भवनपतयश्चेदिहाहुस्तथैव खेटैः सर्वैः शुभमपि फलं निम्नमूढातिहीनैः

bhāvāḥ sarve śubhapatiyutā vīkṣitā vā śubheśai stattadbhāvāḥ sakalaphaladāḥ pāpadṛgyogahīnāḥ | pāpāḥ sarve bhavanapatayaścedihāhustathaiva kheṭaiḥ sarvaiḥ śubhamapi phalaṃ nimnamūḍhātihīnaiḥ

All the bhāvas whose lords are benefics, or which are aspected by benefic lords, and which are free from the aspect and conjunction of malefics, give their results in full. But if the house-lords are all malefics, the result is declared to be the reverse; and when all the planets are debilitated, combust or utterly weak, even an auspicious result is diminished.

लग्नादिभावाद्रिपुरन्ध्ररिष्फे पापग्रहास्तद् भवनादिनाथाः । सौम्यास्तु नात्यन्तफलप्रदास्तद् भावादिकानां फलमेवमाहुः

lagnādibhāvādripurandhrariṣphe pāpagrahāstad bhavanādināthāḥ | saumyāstu nātyantaphalapradāstad bhāvādikānāṃ phalamevamāhuḥ

When malefic planets, or the lords of those houses, stand in the sixth, eighth or twelfth reckoned from the lagna or from any bhāva, and when even benefics stand there, they do not give their result in full — thus they declare the result of that bhāva and of the rest.

यद्भावनाथो रिपुरन्ध्ररिष्फे दुःस्थानपो यद्भवनस्थितो वा । तद्भावनाशं कथयन्ति तज्ज्ञाः शुभेक्षिते तद्भवनस्य सौख्यम्

yadbhāvanātho ripurandhrariṣphe duḥsthānapo yadbhavanasthito vā | tadbhāvanāśaṃ kathayanti tajjñāḥ śubhekṣite tadbhavanasya saukhyam

When the lord of a bhāva stands in the sixth, eighth or twelfth, or when the lord of an evil house stands in that bhāva, those who know declare the destruction of that bhāva; but if it is aspected by a benefic, there is well-being for that house.

तत्तद्भावात्त्रिकोणे स्वसुखमदनभे चास्पदे सौम्ययुक्ते पापानां दृष्टिहीने भवनपसहिते पापखेटैरयुक्ते । भावानाम्पुष्टिमाहुः सकलशुभकरीमन्यथात्वे प्रणाशं मिश्रं मिश्रग्रहेन्द्रैः सकलमपि तथा मूर्तिभावादिकानाम्

tattadbhāvāttrikoṇe svasukhamadanabhe cāspade saumyayukte pāpānāṃ dṛṣṭihīne bhavanapasahite pāpakheṭairayukte | bhāvānāmpuṣṭimāhuḥ sakalaśubhakarīmanyathātve praṇāśaṃ miśraṃ miśragrahendraiḥ sakalamapi tathā mūrtibhāvādikānām

When, reckoned from each bhāva, the trines, the second, the fourth (sukha), the seventh (madana) and the tenth (āspada) are occupied by benefics, are free from the aspect of malefics, are joined with the lord of that house and unaccompanied by malefic planets, they declare a strengthening of the bhāvas which produces every good; in the contrary case, destruction; and with mixed planets a mixed result — and so it is for all the bhāvas beginning with the lagna (mūrti).

नाशस्थानगतो दिवाकरकरैर्लुप्तस्तु यद्राशिपो नीचारातिगतोऽथ वा यदि भवेत्सौम्यैरयुक्तेक्षितः । तद्भावस्य विनाशनं मुनिगणाः शंसन्ति खेटैर्युत श्चेदत्रापि फलप्रदो न हि तदा मूर्त्यादिभानां क्रमः

nāśasthānagato divākarakarairluptastu yadrāśipo nīcārātigato'tha vā yadi bhavetsaumyairayuktekṣitaḥ | tadbhāvasya vināśanaṃ munigaṇāḥ śaṃsanti kheṭairyuta ścedatrāpi phalaprado na hi tadā mūrtyādibhānāṃ kramaḥ

When the lord of a sign stands in a house of destruction, or is swallowed by the Sun's rays, or is in debilitation or in an enemy's sign, and is neither joined with nor aspected by benefics, the company of sages proclaims the destruction of that bhāva. And if he is joined with malefic planets here as well, then he gives no result at all; such is the order for the bhāvas beginning with the lagna.

अर्थाप्तिं कथयेद्विलग्नशशिनोः प्राबल्यतः खेचरैर् मानस्थैः पितृमातृशत्रुससुहृद् भ्रात्रादिभिः स्याद्धनम् । भृत्याद्वा दिननाथलग्नशशिनां मध्ये बलीयांस्ततः कर्मेशस्थनवांशराशिवशतो वृत्तिं जगुस्तद्विदाः

arthāptiṃ kathayedvilagnaśaśinoḥ prābalyataḥ khecarair mānasthaiḥ pitṛmātṛśatrusasuhṛd bhrātrādibhiḥ syāddhanam | bhṛtyādvā dinanāthalagnaśaśināṃ madhye balīyāṃstataḥ karmeśasthanavāṃśarāśivaśato vṛttiṃ jagustadvidāḥ

The gaining of wealth should be declared from the strength of the lagna and the Moon. Wealth comes through the planets standing in the tenth (māna) — through the father, the mother, enemies, friends, brothers and the like, or through servants. Whichever of the Sun, the lagna and the Moon is the strongest, from it the tenth lord is reckoned; and from the navāṃśa sign which that lord occupies, those who know this declare the means of livelihood.

भैषज्यचामीकरतोययानपण्येन मुक्तामणिविप्रलम्भात् । अन्योन्यदूतागमवृत्तिमार्गाज्जीवत्यसौ वासरनायकांशे

bhaiṣajyacāmīkaratoyayānapaṇyena muktāmaṇivipralambhāt | anyonyadūtāgamavṛttimārgājjīvatyasau vāsaranāyakāṃśe

In the navāṃśa of the lord of the day (the Sun) he lives by trade in medicines, gold, water and conveyances, by dealing in pearls and gems and by deception in them, and by acting as a go-between for others.

मन्त्रोपदेशरसवादविनोदमार्गैः वृत्तिं जगुः सकलशास्त्रपुराणमार्गैः । ज्ञानोपदेशपथिभिः क्षितिपालपूज्यो जीवत्यसौ क्षितितले दिननायकांशे

mantropadeśarasavādavinodamārgaiḥ vṛttiṃ jaguḥ sakalaśāstrapurāṇamārgaiḥ | jñānopadeśapathibhiḥ kṣitipālapūjyo jīvatyasau kṣititale dinanāyakāṃśe

By the imparting of mantras, by alchemy (rasavāda) and by entertainments, by the whole range of the śāstras and purāṇas, and by the way of imparting knowledge — so they declare his livelihood; honoured by kings, such a man lives upon the earth, in the navāṃśa of the lord of the day.

जलोद्भवानां क्रयविक्रयेण कृषेश्च मृद्वादविनोदमार्गात् । राजाङ्गनासंश्रयवृत्तिरूपान्निशाकरांशे वसनक्रयाद्वा

jalodbhavānāṃ krayavikrayeṇa kṛṣeśca mṛdvādavinodamārgāt | rājāṅganāsaṃśrayavṛttirūpānniśākarāṃśe vasanakrayādvā

In the navāṃśa of the Moon he lives by the buying and selling of things produced in water, by agriculture, by soft speech and diversions, by dependence upon women of the court, or by dealing in cloth.

धातोर्विवादेन रणप्रहारात् स्तब्धाग्निवादात् कलहप्रवृत्त्या । जीवत्यसौ साहसमार्गरूपैर्धरासुतांशो यदि चोरवृत्त्या

dhātorvivādena raṇaprahārāt stabdhāgnivādāt kalahapravṛttyā | jīvatyasau sāhasamārgarūpairdharāsutāṃśo yadi coravṛttyā

In the navāṃśa of Mars (the son of the Earth) he lives by disputes over metals, by blows struck in battle, by harsh and fiery speech, by engaging in quarrels, by ways of violence — and, if it is so, by thieving.

शिल्पादिकाव्यागमशास्त्रमार्गात् ज्योतिर्गणज्ञानवशाद्वुधांशे । परार्थवेदाध्ययनाज्जपाच्च पुरोहितव्याजवशात्प्रवृत्तिः

śilpādikāvyāgamaśāstramārgāt jyotirgaṇajñānavaśādvudhāṃśe | parārthavedādhyayanājjapācca purohitavyājavaśātpravṛttiḥ

In the navāṃśa of Mercury his occupation arises from the crafts, from poetry, the āgamas and the śāstras, from knowledge of astronomy and reckoning, from studying the Veda on another's behalf, from japa, and from acting in the office of a priest.

जीवांशके भूसुरदेवतानामुपासकाध्यापकमार्गरूपात् । पुराणशास्त्रागमनीतिमार्गाद् धर्मोपदेशेन कुशीदवृत्त्या

jīvāṃśake bhūsuradevatānāmupāsakādhyāpakamārgarūpāt | purāṇaśāstrāgamanītimārgād dharmopadeśena kuśīdavṛttyā

In the navāṃśa of Jupiter he lives as a worshipper and a teacher of brāhmaṇas and deities, by the purāṇas, śāstras, āgamas and polity, by the preaching of dharma, and by lending at interest (kusīda).

सुवर्णमाणिक्यगजाश्वमूलाद् गवां क्रयाज्जीवनमाहुरार्याः । गुडौदनक्षीरदधिक्रयेण स्त्रीणां प्रलोभेन भृगोः सुतांशे

suvarṇamāṇikyagajāśvamūlād gavāṃ krayājjīvanamāhurāryāḥ | guḍaudanakṣīradadhikrayeṇa strīṇāṃ pralobhena bhṛgoḥ sutāṃśe

In the navāṃśa of Venus, the son of Bhṛgu, the noble ones declare his livelihood to come from gold, rubies, elephants, horses and roots, from the purchase of cows, from trade in molasses, boiled rice, milk and curds, and from the enticement of women.

शन्यंशके कुत्सितमार्गवृत्त्या शिल्पादिभिर्दारुमयैर्वधाद्यैः । विन्यस्तभाराज्जलविप्रलम्भादन्योऽन्यवैरोद्भवमूलमार्गात्

śanyaṃśake kutsitamārgavṛttyā śilpādibhirdārumayairvadhādyaiḥ | vinyastabhārājjalavipralambhādanyo'nyavairodbhavamūlamārgāt

In the navāṃśa of Saturn he lives by base occupations, by crafts and by work in wood, by killing and the like, by loads laid upon him to carry, by deception concerning water, and by ways that spring from mutual enmity.

स्वक्षेत्रे स्वनवांशके सुहृदि वा स्वीयोच्चभागे यदा स्वद्रेष्काणचतुष्टयेषु सहिता मूलत्रिकोणेषु वा । तत्तत् कालबलान्वितस्तु खचरा वर्गोत्तमांशेऽपि वा ते सर्वे शुभदा भवन्ति हि तदा स्वान्तर्दशादावपि

svakṣetre svanavāṃśake suhṛdi vā svīyoccabhāge yadā svadreṣkāṇacatuṣṭayeṣu sahitā mūlatrikoṇeṣu vā | tattat kālabalānvitastu khacarā vargottamāṃśe'pi vā te sarve śubhadā bhavanti hi tadā svāntardaśādāvapi

When the planets stand in their own sign, in their own navāṃśa, in a friend's sign, in their own exaltation portion, in the four divisions of their own drekkāṇa, or in their mūlatrikoṇa, and are endowed with the strength of the time, or even when they stand in vargottama navāṃśa — then they all become givers of good, in their own antardaśās and the rest as well.

तत्तद्भावाद्रन्ध्रपो वा खरेशो द्रेष्काणानां चापि नाथोऽर्कपुत्रः । मान्दीशो वा तन्नवांशाधिपो वा तेषां मध्ये यो ग्रहः क्रूरभावः

tattadbhāvādrandhrapo vā khareśo dreṣkāṇānāṃ cāpi nātho'rkaputraḥ | māndīśo vā tannavāṃśādhipo vā teṣāṃ madhye yo grahaḥ krūrabhāvaḥ

The lord of the eighth from any bhāva, or the lord of the tenth, or the lord of the drekkāṇas, or Saturn (the son of the Sun), or the lord of Māndi, or the lord of Māndi's navāṃśa — whichever among these is a planet of cruel nature —

तद्भावेशस्याधिशत्रुग्रहो वा यो वा खेटो बिन्दुशून्यर्क्षयुक्तः । तत्तत्पाके मूर्तिवित्तादिकानां नाशं ब्रूयाद् दैववित् प्राश्निकस्य

tadbhāveśasyādhiśatrugraho vā yo vā kheṭo binduśūnyarkṣayuktaḥ | tattatpāke mūrtivittādikānāṃ nāśaṃ brūyād daivavit prāśnikasya

— or a planet that is a great enemy of the lord of that bhāva, or a planet standing in a sign devoid of bindus — in the daśā of such a planet the astrologer should declare to the querent the destruction of the body, of wealth and of the rest.

मन्दमान्द्यगुखरेशरन्ध्रपास्तन्नवांशपतयोऽपि ये ग्रहाः । तेषु दुर्बलदशा मृतिप्रदा कष्टभे चरति सूर्यनन्दने

mandamāndyagukhareśarandhrapāstannavāṃśapatayo'pi ye grahāḥ | teṣu durbaladaśā mṛtipradā kaṣṭabhe carati sūryanandane

Saturn, the planet standing with Māndi, the lord of the tenth, the lord of the eighth, and the lords of their navāṃśas — among these, the daśā of the weakest gives death, when Saturn (the son of the Sun) is passing through an evil house.

धनाधिपः पापखगो यदि स्याच्छन्यार भोगीन्द्रदिनेश्वराणाम् । अन्तर्दशायां धननाशमाहुः पापान्विते तद्भवने तथैव

dhanādhipaḥ pāpakhago yadi syācchanyāra bhogīndradineśvarāṇām | antardaśāyāṃ dhananāśamāhuḥ pāpānvite tadbhavane tathaiva

If the lord of the second is a malefic, then in the antardaśās of Saturn, Mars, Rāhu and the Sun they declare loss of wealth; and the same holds when that house is occupied by malefics.

धनाधिपः पापखगस्तदीशः स्याच्चेद्दशायां क्षितिपालकोपात् । नानार्थनाशं निगदेन्नराणां स्थानच्युतिं स्वेष्टजनैर्विरोधम्

dhanādhipaḥ pāpakhagastadīśaḥ syācceddaśāyāṃ kṣitipālakopāt | nānārthanāśaṃ nigadennarāṇāṃ sthānacyutiṃ sveṣṭajanairvirodham

If the lord of the second is a malefic, then in the daśā of that lord one should declare for men the loss of many kinds of wealth through the king's anger, fall from position, and conflict with those dear to them.

पापग्रहाणामपहारकाले पापग्रहस्यैव दशासु काले । भुक्त्यर्थमानात्मजसोदराणां नाशं समायाति शुभैर्न दोषः

pāpagrahāṇāmapahārakāle pāpagrahasyaiva daśāsu kāle | bhuktyarthamānātmajasodarāṇāṃ nāśaṃ samāyāti śubhairna doṣaḥ

In the antardaśā of malefic planets, and in the daśā of a malefic planet itself, there comes the destruction of enjoyment, wealth, honour, sons and brothers; but with benefics there is no such fault.

वित्ते शुभे शोभनखेचरेशे तत्पाककाले धनलाभमेति । शुभग्रहाणामपहारकाले तथा भवेदात्मजवाग्विलासः

vitte śubhe śobhanakhecareśe tatpākakāle dhanalābhameti | śubhagrahāṇāmapahārakāle tathā bhavedātmajavāgvilāsaḥ

When a benefic stands in the second and its lord is an auspicious planet, in its daśā one obtains gain of wealth; and in the antardaśās of benefic planets there is likewise the delight of children and of eloquence.

पापग्रहे विक्रमभावनाथे पापान्विते पापवियच्चराणाम् । अन्तर्दशायामनलास्त्रचौरैर्दुःखं समायाति शुभप्रदेऽपि

pāpagrahe vikramabhāvanāthe pāpānvite pāpaviyaccarāṇām | antardaśāyāmanalāstracaurairduḥkhaṃ samāyāti śubhaprade'pi

When the lord of the third (vikrama) is a malefic and joined with malefics, then in the antardaśā of malefic planets there comes sorrow from fire, from weapons and from thieves, even where the daśā-lord is otherwise a giver of good.

कलिप्रकोपानलचौर भूपैः दुःखं मनोजाड्यमतीव कष्टम् । सोत्थेशपापग्रहदायकाले शुभेक्षिते तादृशमत्र नास्ति

kaliprakopānalacaura bhūpaiḥ duḥkhaṃ manojāḍyamatīva kaṣṭam | sottheśapāpagrahadāyakāle śubhekṣite tādṛśamatra nāsti

In the daśā of the malefic lord of the third there is sorrow from strife, fire, thieves and kings, dullness of mind and very great distress; but if it is aspected by a benefic, no such thing occurs here.

दुश्चिक्यभावाधिपदायकाले सौम्येतराणामपहारकाले । नाशं वदेत्तत्र सहोदराणां भवेद्विरोधः सहजैर्विशेषात्

duścikyabhāvādhipadāyakāle saumyetarāṇāmapahārakāle | nāśaṃ vadettatra sahodarāṇāṃ bhavedvirodhaḥ sahajairviśeṣāt

In the daśā of the lord of the third (duścikya) and in the antardaśā of malefics, one should there declare the destruction of brothers; and there will be conflict with one's own siblings in particular.

क्षेत्राधिपस्यैव शुभेतरस्य पापग्रहाणामपहारकाले । स्थानच्युतिं बन्धुविनाशमेति नीचाऽस्तगानामपहारकेऽपि

kṣetrādhipasyaiva śubhetarasya pāpagrahāṇāmapahārakāle | sthānacyutiṃ bandhuvināśameti nīcā'stagānāmapahārake'pi

In the daśā of the malefic lord of the fourth and in the antardaśā of malefic planets, there comes fall from position and destruction of relatives; and so too in the antardaśā of planets that are debilitated or combust.

बुद्धिभ्रमं कुत्सितभोजनञ्च पापग्रहाणां हि सुतेशकाले । अन्तर्दशायां प्रवदेन्नराणां शुभग्रहश्चेन्न तथा भवेत्तु

buddhibhramaṃ kutsitabhojanañca pāpagrahāṇāṃ hi suteśakāle | antardaśāyāṃ pravadennarāṇāṃ śubhagrahaścenna tathā bhavettu

In the daśā of the lord of the fifth with the antardaśās of malefic planets, one should declare for men confusion of intellect and vile food; but if the lord is a benefic it will not be so.

राजाग्निचौरैर्व्यसनं व्रणेशदशाविपाके तु शुभेतराणाम् । अन्तर्दशायामपि कष्टमेति प्रमेहगुल्मक्षयपित्तरोगैः

rājāgnicaurairvyasanaṃ vraṇeśadaśāvipāke tu śubhetarāṇām | antardaśāyāmapi kaṣṭameti pramehagulmakṣayapittarogaiḥ

In the daśā of the lord of the sixth and in the antardaśā of malefics, calamity comes from the king, from fire and from thieves; and there is distress too from prameha (urinary disease), gulma, consumption, and bilious disorders (pitta).

दारेशपापग्रहदायकाले स्त्रिया विरोधो मरणं च तस्याः । विदेशयानं च पुरीषमूत्रकृच्छ्रं भवेत् भूपतिकोप एव

dāreśapāpagrahadāyakāle striyā virodho maraṇaṃ ca tasyāḥ | videśayānaṃ ca purīṣamūtrakṛcchraṃ bhavet bhūpatikopa eva

In the daśā of the malefic lord of the seventh there is conflict with one's wife and her death, travel to a foreign land, difficulty in passing stool and urine, and the anger of the king.

रन्ध्रेशकाले फणिनाथभौमशनैश्चराणामपहारकाले । आयुर्यशोवित्तविनाशनञ्च दारात्मबन्ध्विष्ट सहोदराणाम्

randhreśakāle phaṇināthabhaumaśanaiścarāṇāmapahārakāle | āyuryaśovittavināśanañca dārātmabandhviṣṭa sahodarāṇām

In the daśā of the lord of the eighth (randhreśa), during the antardaśās of Rāhu (the lord of serpents), Mars and Saturn, there is destruction of life, of reputation and of wealth, and harm to the wife, to the native himself, to his kinsmen, to those dear to him, and to his brothers.

स्थानच्युतिर्बन्धुविरोधिता च विदेशयानं सहजैर्विरोधः । भवेच्छुभेशस्य दशाविपाके शनैश्चराराहिदिनाधिपानाम्

sthānacyutirbandhuvirodhitā ca videśayānaṃ sahajairvirodhaḥ | bhavecchubheśasya daśāvipāke śanaiścarārāhidinādhipānām

Loss of position, hostility with kinsmen, journey to a foreign country, and quarrel with brothers occur in the ripening of the daśā of a benefic lord during the antardaśās of Saturn, Rāhu and the Sun.

कारागृहप्राप्तिरनेकदुः खं दुः स्वप्नशोकानलदग्धदेहम् । कर्मेश्वरस्योत्तरभुक्तिकाले पापग्रहाणामपकीर्तिमेति

kārāgṛhaprāptiranekaduḥ khaṃ duḥ svapnaśokānaladagdhadeham | karmeśvarasyottarabhuktikāle pāpagrahāṇāmapakīrtimeti

Imprisonment, manifold sorrow, bad dreams, grief, and a body scorched by fire; and in the latter part of the daśā of the lord of the tenth (karmeśvara), during the antardaśās of malefics, the native incurs ill repute.

दशाविशेषे त्वथ लाभपस्य भुक्त्यन्तरे द्रव्यविनाशनञ्च । रव्यार भोगीन्द्रशनैश्चराणां कार्यार्थकृच्छ्रं क्षितिपालकोपात्

daśāviśeṣe tvatha lābhapasya bhuktyantare dravyavināśanañca | ravyāra bhogīndraśanaiścarāṇāṃ kāryārthakṛcchraṃ kṣitipālakopāt

But in the particular daśā of the lord of the eleventh (lābhapa), during the antardaśās of the Sun, Mars, Rāhu and Saturn, there is loss of property, and hardship in one's undertakings through the anger of the king.

व्ययेशदाये रविसूनुभुक्तौ दिनेशभूम्यात्मजयोर्विरोधः । कलिक्षयौ मानधनक्षयौ च राहोस्तु भुक्तावरिसर्पपीडा

vyayeśadāye ravisūnubhuktau dineśabhūmyātmajayorvirodhaḥ | kalikṣayau mānadhanakṣayau ca rāhostu bhuktāvarisarpapīḍā

In the daśā of the lord of the twelfth, during Saturn's antardaśā, there is conflict with the Sun and with Mars; strife and loss, and loss of honour and of wealth. In Rāhu's antardaśā there is affliction from enemies and from serpents.

तत्कालशत्रुप्रभवात्फलं तन्मित्रे यदि स्यात् फलमर्धमाहुः । अन्योऽन्यषष्ठाष्टमदायकाले स्थानच्युतिर्वा मरणं विशेषात्

tatkālaśatruprabhavātphalaṃ tanmitre yadi syāt phalamardhamāhuḥ | anyo'nyaṣaṣṭhāṣṭamadāyakāle sthānacyutirvā maraṇaṃ viśeṣāt

That result comes about through the influence of the temporal enemy; if the planet concerned is a friend, the result is said to be half. When the daśā lord and the antardaśā lord stand in the sixth and eighth from each other, there is loss of position, or, in a marked case, death.

स्पष्टीकरिष्यन्ति दशाविभागे विस्तारमार्गेण मुनीन्द्रजालाः । आपाततः सङ्कुचितार्थवाक्यैरुक्ता ग्रहाणां फलपाकपङ्क्तिः

spaṣṭīkariṣyanti daśāvibhāge vistāramārgeṇa munīndrajālāḥ | āpātataḥ saṅkucitārthavākyairuktā grahāṇāṃ phalapākapaṅktiḥ

The hosts of great sages will make all this clear at length in the section on the divisions of the daśās. Here, in passing, the sequence in which the planets' results ripen has been stated in brief and compressed sentences.

निषेकलग्नाद्दिनपस्तृतीये राशौ यदा चारवशादुपैति । आधानलग्नादथ वा त्रिकोणे रवौ यदा जन्म वदेन्नराणाम्

niṣekalagnāddinapastṛtīye rāśau yadā cāravaśādupaiti | ādhānalagnādatha vā trikoṇe ravau yadā janma vadennarāṇām

When the Sun by his transit comes to the third sign from the niṣeka-lagna (the ascendant of the moment of conception), or when he is in a trine from the ādhāna-lagna, then one should declare the birth of a human being.

आधानलग्नात्सुतभे तु जन्मलग्नं भवेच्छास्त्रविदो वदन्ति । आधानलग्ने शुभदृष्टियोगे दीर्घायुरैश्वर्यधनान्वितः स्यात्

ādhānalagnātsutabhe tu janmalagnaṃ bhavecchāstravido vadanti | ādhānalagne śubhadṛṣṭiyoge dīrghāyuraiśvaryadhanānvitaḥ syāt

The knowers of the śāstra say that the birth ascendant will be the fifth sign (suta-bha) from the ādhāna-lagna. If the ādhāna-lagna has the aspect or conjunction of benefics, the child will be long-lived and endowed with lordship and wealth.

धर्मार्थपुत्रेषु निषेकलग्नाद् दृष्टेषु सौम्यैः पुरुषग्रहैर्वा । पुत्रांशकैर्वापि निषेककाले पुञ्जन्म बालाजननं विलोमात्

dharmārthaputreṣu niṣekalagnād dṛṣṭeṣu saumyaiḥ puruṣagrahairvā | putrāṃśakairvāpi niṣekakāle puñjanma bālājananaṃ vilomāt

If the ninth (dharma), the second (artha) and the fifth (putra) from the niṣeka-lagna are aspected by benefics or by male planets, or are in the corresponding aṃśas at the time of conception, a male child is born; in the contrary case, a girl.

निषेकलग्ने शशिनन्दनो वा रव्यात्मजो वा यदि पापदृष्टः । पिण्डाकृतिं जन्म वदेत्तदानीं शुभेक्षितश्चेन्न तथाविधं तत्

niṣekalagne śaśinandano vā ravyātmajo vā yadi pāpadṛṣṭaḥ | piṇḍākṛtiṃ janma vadettadānīṃ śubhekṣitaścenna tathāvidhaṃ tat

If Mercury (the Moon's son) or Saturn (the Sun's son) is in the niṣeka-lagna and is aspected by malefics, one should then declare a birth of a mere lump of flesh (piṇḍākṛti); but if it is aspected by benefics, it will not be so.

निषेकलग्नेशतृतीयनाथौ लग्नस्थितौ चेद्यमलोद्भवः स्यात् । तृतीयनाथेन युतो निषेकलग्नेश्वरस्तत्सहजे तथैव

niṣekalagneśatṛtīyanāthau lagnasthitau cedyamalodbhavaḥ syāt | tṛtīyanāthena yuto niṣekalagneśvarastatsahaje tathaiva

If the lord of the niṣeka-lagna and the lord of the third are both posited in the ascendant, twins are born. The same result follows if the lord of the niṣeka-lagna is joined with the lord of the third in that third house itself.

लग्नेश्वरे कर्मगते विलग्ने भोगीन्द्रयुक्ते सति पादजातः । रन्ध्रेश्वरे राहुयुते विलग्ने जातोरगैर्वेष्टितसम्भवः स्यात्

lagneśvare karmagate vilagne bhogīndrayukte sati pādajātaḥ | randhreśvare rāhuyute vilagne jātoragairveṣṭitasambhavaḥ syāt

If the lord of the ascendant is in the tenth and the ascendant is joined by Rāhu, the child is born feet first. If the lord of the eighth, joined with Rāhu, is in the ascendant, the child is born with the umbilical cord coiled about it.

केन्द्रे सराहौ गुलिकेन युक्ते लग्नेश्वरे वा निधनेशयुक्ते । क्रूरग्रहाणां तु दृकाणलग्ने जातोरगैर्वेष्टितसम्भवः स्यात्

kendre sarāhau gulikena yukte lagneśvare vā nidhaneśayukte | krūragrahāṇāṃ tu dṛkāṇalagne jātoragairveṣṭitasambhavaḥ syāt

If Rāhu is in a kendra joined with Gulika, or if the lord of the ascendant is joined with the lord of the eighth, or if the ascendant falls in a drekkāṇa belonging to the malefic planets, the child is born with the cord coiled about it.

लग्नत्रिभागेन्द्रजसर्पकाले तन्नाथयुक्ते तु तथा त्रिभागे । शुभग्रहाणान्तु दृशा विहीने जातोरगैर्वेष्टितसम्भवः स्यात्

lagnatribhāgendrajasarpakāle tannāthayukte tu tathā tribhāge | śubhagrahāṇāntu dṛśā vihīne jātoragairveṣṭitasambhavaḥ syāt

If the drekkāṇa of the ascendant belongs to Mercury and Rāhu, or if that drekkāṇa is joined by its own lord, and it is devoid of any benefic aspect, the child is born with the cord coiled about it.

छागोक्षकण्ठीरवलग्नभूते भौमान्विते वा रविजेन युक्ते । राश्यंशसादृश्यसमानदेहो नालेन संवेष्टितसम्भवः स्यात्

chāgokṣakaṇṭhīravalagnabhūte bhaumānvite vā ravijena yukte | rāśyaṃśasādṛśyasamānadeho nālena saṃveṣṭitasambhavaḥ syāt

If the ascendant falls in Meṣa (the goat), Vṛṣabha (the bull) or Siṃha (the lion) and is joined by Mars or by Saturn, the child has a body resembling the form of that sign and its aṃśa, and is born wrapped about by the cord.

लग्ने सपापे बहुपापदृष्टे राहुध्वजाभ्यां सहितेऽथ वाऽत्र । पापग्रहाणान्तु विलग्नभे वा जातो नरो नालनिवेष्टिताङ्गः

lagne sapāpe bahupāpadṛṣṭe rāhudhvajābhyāṃ sahite'tha vā'tra | pāpagrahāṇāntu vilagnabhe vā jāto naro nālaniveṣṭitāṅgaḥ

If the ascendant holds a malefic and is aspected by many malefics, or is joined here by Rāhu and Ketu (dhvaja), or if the ascendant sign belongs to the malefic planets, the man is born with his body wrapped in the cord.

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

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

If the ascendant is hemmed between malefics and Rāhu occupies it; or if Mars is in the ascendant aspected by the Sun; or if Saturn is in the ascendant aspected by Mars — the man is born with his body wrapped in the cord.

परस्परक्षेत्रसमाश्रितौ वा देहाम्बुपौ जन्म वदेत्तदानीम् । लग्नेश्वरे वा हिबुकेश्वरे वा ध्वजाहियुक्ते जननं पशोस्तु

parasparakṣetrasamāśritau vā dehāmbupau janma vadettadānīm | lagneśvare vā hibukeśvare vā dhvajāhiyukte jananaṃ paśostu

Or if the lords of the first (deha) and of the fourth (ambu) occupy each other's signs, one should then declare the birth accordingly. And if the lord of the ascendant or the lord of the fourth (hibuka) is joined with Ketu and Rāhu, the birth is that of an animal.

पापा बलाढ्या विबलास्तु सौम्या नपुंसकौ केन्द्रगतौ तदानीम् । दृष्टिस्तयोर्वाऽथ वियोनिलग्ने चतुष्पदाञ्जन्म वदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

pāpā balāḍhyā vibalāstu saumyā napuṃsakau kendragatau tadānīm | dṛṣṭistayorvā'tha viyonilagne catuṣpadāñjanma vadanti tajjñāḥ

When the malefics are strong and the benefics weak, and the two neuter planets stand in kendras, or when they cast their aspect, and the ascendant is a non-human (viyoni) sign, those who know this declare the birth of a quadruped.

पापा बलाढ्याः स्वगृहं प्रपन्नाः सौम्याः स्वगेहेतरराशियुक्ताः । चतुष्पदाञ्जन्मतनौ वियोनौ वदन्ति शास्त्रान्तरपारगम्याः

pāpā balāḍhyāḥ svagṛhaṃ prapannāḥ saumyāḥ svagehetararāśiyuktāḥ | catuṣpadāñjanmatanau viyonau vadanti śāstrāntarapāragamyāḥ

When malefics are strong and occupy their own houses, and benefics occupy signs other than their own, and the birth ascendant is a non-human sign, those versed in the other śāstras declare the birth of a quadruped.

पक्षीदृकाणे तु विलग्नभूते बलान्वितेनैव ग्रहेण दृष्टे । राशौ चरे वा यदि तन्नवांशे वियोनिजन्मेति बुधांशके वा

pakṣīdṛkāṇe tu vilagnabhūte balānvitenaiva graheṇa dṛṣṭe | rāśau care vā yadi tannavāṃśe viyonijanmeti budhāṃśake vā

If the ascendant falls in a bird-drekkāṇa and is aspected by a planet possessed of strength, or if it is in a movable sign or in the navāṃśa of one, or in a navāṃśa of Mercury, the birth is of a non-human kind.

शुक्रेक्षिते गोजननं महिष्याः सूर्यात्मजेनापि युतः स दृष्टः । राहुध्वजाभ्यां सहितोऽथ दृष्टो मेषस्तु जातोऽन्यपशुस्तथान्यैः

śukrekṣite gojananaṃ mahiṣyāḥ sūryātmajenāpi yutaḥ sa dṛṣṭaḥ | rāhudhvajābhyāṃ sahito'tha dṛṣṭo meṣastu jāto'nyapaśustathānyaiḥ

With the aspect of Venus there is the birth of a cow; if it is joined with or aspected by Saturn as well, of a buffalo; if joined with or aspected by Rāhu and Ketu, a sheep is born; and by other planets, other animals.

लग्ने बुधक्षेत्रगतेऽरिनाथे लग्नेश्वरे सोमसुतर्क्षसंस्थे । जातस्तु सस्त्रीकनपुंसकः स्याच्छन्यारयोगात्पुरुषस्तु षण्ढः

lagne budhakṣetragate'rināthe lagneśvare somasutarkṣasaṃsthe | jātastu sastrīkanapuṃsakaḥ syācchanyārayogātpuruṣastu ṣaṇḍhaḥ

If the lord of the sixth is in an ascendant that falls in a sign of Mercury, and the lord of the ascendant too occupies a sign of Mercury, the child born is an impotent man who nevertheless has a wife; and by the conjunction of Saturn and Mars the male born is a eunuch (ṣaṇḍha).

अन्योऽन्यदृष्टी शशिवासरेशौ युग्मौ च गाविन्दुजभानुपुत्रौ । ओजर्क्षगो भानुसुतो दिनेशं पश्यत्यसौ युग्मगतस्तथैव

anyo'nyadṛṣṭī śaśivāsareśau yugmau ca gāvindujabhānuputrau | ojarkṣago bhānusuto dineśaṃ paśyatyasau yugmagatastathaiva

When the Moon and the Sun aspect each other and both are in even signs; when Mercury and Saturn are likewise so placed; when Saturn in an odd sign aspects the Sun, and again when he does so from an even sign —

ओजे तु लग्ने कुमुदात्मबन्धुः तत्र स्थितो युग्मगभौमदृष्टः । युग्मौजगाविन्दुसुतौ कुजेन दृष्टौ विलग्नश्च निशाकरश्च

oje tu lagne kumudātmabandhuḥ tatra sthito yugmagabhaumadṛṣṭaḥ | yugmaujagāvindusutau kujena dṛṣṭau vilagnaśca niśākaraśca

— when the ascendant is odd and the Moon stands in it aspected by Mars from an even sign; when Mercury and Saturn are in even and odd signs and are aspected by Mars, and so too the ascendant and the Moon —

षट् क्लीबयोगाः पुरुषांशयुक्ताः प्रोक्ता महद्भिर्बहुशास्त्रविद्भिः । लग्नेश्वरश्चन्द्रसुतेन युक्तः षण्डो भवेत् सौम्यखगेन युक्तः

ṣaṭ klībayogāḥ puruṣāṃśayuktāḥ proktā mahadbhirbahuśāstravidbhiḥ | lagneśvaraścandrasutena yuktaḥ ṣaṇḍo bhavet saumyakhagena yuktaḥ

— these six yogas producing impotence, taken together with male navāṃśas, have been declared by the great ones learned in many śāstras. If the lord of the ascendant is joined with Mercury, or joined with a benefic planet, the child will be a eunuch (ṣaṇḍa).

दुःस्थानगो कर्मशुभाऽधिनाथो बली विलग्नाधिपतिस्तदानीम् । सीमन्तकर्मादिविनैव जातो भवेन्नरः प्राथमिकोऽपि तत्र

duḥsthānago karmaśubhā'dhinātho balī vilagnādhipatistadānīm | sīmantakarmādivinaiva jāto bhavennaraḥ prāthamiko'pi tatra

If the lords of the tenth and of the benefic house occupy evil houses while the lord of the ascendant is strong, the man is born without the sīmantonnayana and the other sacraments having been performed for him — and even so he is the first-born there.

सूतिकागृहद्वारादिकथनम् सिंहोदये द्वारयुगं गृहं तत् कन्योदये नीचगृहेऽपि जन्म

sūtikāgṛhadvārādikathanam siṃhodaye dvārayugaṃ gṛhaṃ tat kanyodaye nīcagṛhe'pi janma

The declaration of the door and other features of the lying-in chamber. When Siṃha (Leo) rises, that house has a pair of doors; when Kanyā (Virgo) rises, the birth takes place even in a low house.

नवांशपुत्राधिपतिः सराशेर्द्वारं जगुर्लग्नदृकाणराशेः । द्वारं विलग्नाधिपतिः सराशेः केन्द्रस्थितैर्वीर्यसमन्वितैर्वा

navāṃśaputrādhipatiḥ sarāśerdvāraṃ jagurlagnadṛkāṇarāśeḥ | dvāraṃ vilagnādhipatiḥ sarāśeḥ kendrasthitairvīryasamanvitairvā

Some say the door is indicated by the lord of the fifth in the navāṃśa together with its sign; others, by the sign of the drekkāṇa of the ascendant; and others, that the lord of the ascendant with its sign indicates the door — or else it is determined by the planets that stand in kendras and are endowed with strength.

ग्रहैर्धनान्त्यास्पदवेश्मगैर्वा वाच्यास्तदानीमुपसूतिकास्तु । तत्र स्थिते भानुसुते तु शूद्रा रवौ स्थिते क्षत्रियभामिनी सा

grahairdhanāntyāspadaveśmagairvā vācyāstadānīmupasūtikāstu | tatra sthite bhānusute tu śūdrā ravau sthite kṣatriyabhāminī sā

By the planets standing in the 2nd (dhana), the 12th (antya) and the house of station (the 10th), the women attending the birth are to be described. If Saturn is there, she is a śūdra woman; if the Sun is there, she is a kṣatriya woman.

राहुध्वजाभ्यामथजातिहीना त्वन्यैर्ग्रहैर्जातिसमा प्रदिष्टा । धनान्त्यबन्धुस्थितखेचरेन्द्रैर्वाच्यास्तदानीमुपसूतिकाश्च

rāhudhvajābhyāmathajātihīnā tvanyairgrahairjātisamā pradiṣṭā | dhanāntyabandhusthitakhecarendrairvācyāstadānīmupasūtikāśca

By Rāhu and Ketu (dhvaja) she is of low caste; by the other planets she is declared to be of the same caste as the native. By the planets standing in the 2nd, the 12th and the 4th (bandhu), the women attending the birth are to be described.

तत्स्थानपैः संयुतखेचरेन्द्रैः किञ्चिद्ददन्त्यत्र सहस्थितैश्च । जीवेन्दुपुत्रासुरदेवपूज्यैस्तत्र स्थितैर्ब्रह्मकुलाभिरामाः

tatsthānapaiḥ saṃyutakhecarendraiḥ kiñciddadantyatra sahasthitaiśca | jīvenduputrāsuradevapūjyaistatra sthitairbrahmakulābhirāmāḥ

By the lords of those houses, and by the planets joined with them or standing together with them, they give something here. When Jupiter, Mercury and Venus are there, the women are of brāhmaṇa family and comely.

एतेषु पापांशकसंयुतेषु तासान्तु वैधव्यमुदाहरन्ति । राहुध्वजाभ्यां सहितेषु तेषु शुभास्त्रयस्तत्र शनेस्तु योगात्

eteṣu pāpāṃśakasaṃyuteṣu tāsāntu vaidhavyamudāharanti | rāhudhvajābhyāṃ sahiteṣu teṣu śubhāstrayastatra śanestu yogāt

When these planets are joined with malefic navāṃśas, they declare widowhood for those women. When they are joined with Rāhu and Ketu — the three benefics being there — but by conjunction with Saturn,

कृष्णा च कुब्जा विधवा भवेत्सा योगाद् ग्रहाणां प्रवदेच्च संख्याम् । बहिःप्रदेशे ग्रहमध्यभागे दृश्यार्धभागस्थितखेचरेन्द्रैः

kṛṣṇā ca kubjā vidhavā bhavetsā yogād grahāṇāṃ pravadecca saṃkhyām | bahiḥpradeśe grahamadhyabhāge dṛśyārdhabhāgasthitakhecarendraiḥ

— she will be dark-complexioned, hunchbacked and a widow. From the conjunction of the planets their number too should be declared. By the planets standing in the outer region, in the middle part, and in the visible half,

संख्या वदेत्तत्र तदन्ययुक्तैस्त्वेकर्क्षगैस्तत्र बहुत्वमाहुः

saṃkhyā vadettatra tadanyayuktaistvekarkṣagaistatra bahutvamāhuḥ

— the number is to be stated there; and when they are joined with others, and when several stand in a single sign, they declare a multitude of them.

दीपस्य चाञ्चल्यमुदाहरन्ति चरे स्थिरे तद् दृढमत्र काले । विदेहराशौ सधृतः करेण तत्संयुतैर्व्योमचरैस्तु संख्याम्

dīpasya cāñcalyamudāharanti care sthire tad dṛḍhamatra kāle | videharāśau sadhṛtaḥ kareṇa tatsaṃyutairvyomacaraistu saṃkhyām

They declare the state of the lamp as well: in a movable sign it flickers or is carried about, in a fixed sign it stands firm at that time, and in a bodiless (videha) sign it is held in the hand. By the planets joined with it, its number (is stated).

तैलं वदेत्तत्र निशाकरेण वर्तिर्विलग्नादिति केचिदाहुः

tailaṃ vadettatra niśākareṇa vartirvilagnāditi kecidāhuḥ

The oil should be declared from the Moon, and the wick from the ascendant — so some say.

लग्नेशे स्वोच्चमित्रांशे स्वनवांशगतेऽपि वा । शुभग्रहयुते दृष्टे देहसौख्यं विनिर्दिशेत्

lagneśe svoccamitrāṃśe svanavāṃśagate'pi vā | śubhagrahayute dṛṣṭe dehasaukhyaṃ vinirdiśet

When the lord of the lagna is in the navāṃśa of its exaltation or of a friend, or in its own navāṃśa, and is joined with or aspected by benefic planets, one should declare bodily well-being.

लग्नेशे बलसंयुक्ते केन्द्रकोणगते शुभे । पापग्रहैरसन्दृष्टे देहसौख्यं वदेद् बुधः

lagneśe balasaṃyukte kendrakoṇagate śubhe | pāpagrahairasandṛṣṭe dehasaukhyaṃ vaded budhaḥ

When the lord of the lagna is endowed with strength, is a benefic standing in a kendra or a trine, and is unaspected by malefic planets, the wise man should declare bodily well-being.

देवलोकांशगे सूर्ये लग्नेशे बलसंयुते । भाग्येशे स्वोच्चराशिस्थे बहुसद्भाग्यकीर्तिमान्

devalokāṃśage sūrye lagneśe balasaṃyute | bhāgyeśe svoccarāśisthe bahusadbhāgyakīrtimān

When the Sun is in a navāṃśa of the devaloka group, the lord of the lagna is strong, and the lord of the 9th (bhāgyeśa) is in its exaltation sign, the native has abundant good fortune and fame.

लग्नाधिपोऽतिबलवाञ्छुभवर्गयुक्तः स्वोच्चे सुहृद्ग्रहयुतः स्वनवांशके वा । लग्नाधिनाथसहिते यदि केन्द्रनाथे सद्भाग्यकीर्तिधनधान्यचिरायुरेति

lagnādhipo'tibalavāñchubhavargayuktaḥ svocce suhṛdgrahayutaḥ svanavāṃśake vā | lagnādhināthasahite yadi kendranāthe sadbhāgyakīrtidhanadhānyacirāyureti

If the lord of the lagna is very strong, occupies benefic vargas, stands in its exaltation, is joined with a friendly planet or is in its own navāṃśa; and if the lord of a kendra is joined with the lord of the lagna — the native obtains good fortune, fame, wealth, grain and long life.

लग्नेश्वरः क्रूरसमन्वितश्चेद्देहस्य सौख्यादिविनाशमाहुः । तादृक्फलं नाशगतोऽपि तस्य शुभेक्षितश्चेत्फलमन्यथा स्यात्

lagneśvaraḥ krūrasamanvitaśceddehasya saukhyādivināśamāhuḥ | tādṛkphalaṃ nāśagato'pi tasya śubhekṣitaścetphalamanyathā syāt

If the lord of the lagna is joined with a malefic, they declare the destruction of bodily comfort and the rest. The same result follows if he goes to the 12th (nāśa); but if he is aspected by a benefic, the result is otherwise.

दुःस्थानपेनापि युते विलग्ननाथे विलग्ने सति रोगभाक् स्यात् । बलैर्विहीने सति लग्ननाथे केन्द्रत्रिकोणे न तु रोगभाक्स्यात्

duḥsthānapenāpi yute vilagnanāthe vilagne sati rogabhāk syāt | balairvihīne sati lagnanāthe kendratrikoṇe na tu rogabhāksyāt

If the lord of the lagna is joined with the lord of an evil house and stands in the lagna, the native is subject to disease. But if the lord of the lagna, even though devoid of strength, stands in a kendra or a trine, he is not subject to disease.

लग्नेश्वराधिष्ठितराशिनाथो दुः स्थानगो दुर्बलदेहभाक्स्यात् । लग्नादिभावेश्वरराशिनाथैः दुः स्थैर्विलग्नादिविनाशमाहुः

lagneśvarādhiṣṭhitarāśinātho duḥ sthānago durbaladehabhāksyāt | lagnādibhāveśvararāśināthaiḥ duḥ sthairvilagnādivināśamāhuḥ

If the lord of the sign occupied by the lord of the lagna stands in an evil house, the native will have a weak body. When the lords of the signs occupied by the lords of the lagna and of the other bhāvas stand in evil houses, they declare the ruin of the lagna and of those other bhāvas.

पापैर्विलग्ने गुलिके त्रिकोणे लग्नेऽहिनाथे गुलिकेन युक्ते । लग्नेश्वरे पापयुतेऽथ लग्ने राहौ यदा वञ्चनचोरभीतिः

pāpairvilagne gulike trikoṇe lagne'hināthe gulikena yukte | lagneśvare pāpayute'tha lagne rāhau yadā vañcanacorabhītiḥ

When malefics are in the lagna and Gulika is in a trine; when Rāhu is in the lagna joined with Gulika; when the lord of the lagna is joined with malefics; or when Rāhu is in the lagna — then there is fear of deceit and of thieves.

शनेस्तु योगात्प्रविलोकनाद्वा भीतिर्ध्रुवा वञ्चनचोरभूपैः । राहौ विलग्ने सकुजेऽर्कपुत्रे राहौ बृहद्वीजमिहाहुरार्याः

śanestu yogātpravilokanādvā bhītirdhruvā vañcanacorabhūpaiḥ | rāhau vilagne sakuje'rkaputre rāhau bṛhadvījamihāhurāryāḥ

By the conjunction or aspect of Saturn, fear from cheats, thieves and rulers is certain. When Rāhu is in the lagna together with Mars, and Saturn is with Rāhu, the venerable teachers declare bṛhad-bīja (a great enlargement of the scrotum) here.

लग्नेश्वरे मृत्युगते सराहौ रन्ध्रे समान्दौ तु तथैव वाच्यः । लग्ने सराहौ गुलिके त्रिकोणे रन्ध्रे कुजे मान्दियुते तथैव

lagneśvare mṛtyugate sarāhau randhre samāndau tu tathaiva vācyaḥ | lagne sarāhau gulike trikoṇe randhre kuje māndiyute tathaiva

When the lord of the lagna is in the 8th together with Rāhu, or in the 8th with Māndi, the same is to be declared. Likewise when Rāhu is in the lagna and Gulika in a trine, and Mars is in the 8th joined with Māndi.

लग्नेश्वराक्रान्ततदंशनाथो राह्वारमान्द्यादिभिरन्वितश्चेत् । तस्मिन् बृहद्वीजमिहाष्टमेशसंयुक्तराश्यंशपतिः सराहुः

lagneśvarākrāntatadaṃśanātho rāhvāramāndyādibhiranvitaścet | tasmin bṛhadvījamihāṣṭameśasaṃyuktarāśyaṃśapatiḥ sarāhuḥ

If the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the lagna is joined with Rāhu, Mars, Māndi and the like, then in his period there is bṛhad-bīja here; so too when the lord of the sign and navāṃśa joined with the lord of the 8th is with Rāhu.

लग्नेश्वरे भूमिसुते तनुस्थे पापान्विते पापविलोकिते वा । शिलाप्रहारैर्व्रणमुत्तमाङ्गे खड्गादिभिर्वा कथयन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

lagneśvare bhūmisute tanusthe pāpānvite pāpavilokite vā | śilāprahārairvraṇamuttamāṅge khaḍgādibhirvā kathayanti tajjñāḥ

When the lord of the lagna and Mars stand in the first house, joined with malefics or aspected by malefics, those who know the subject declare a wound on the head from the blow of a stone, or from a sword and the like.

शनिस्तथा चेद् व्रणमुत्तमाङ्गे वाताग्निशस्त्रैः पतनेन वापि । यदा भवेत्पञ्चघटीविलग्ने तदा बृहत्को न तदर्धलग्ने

śanistathā ced vraṇamuttamāṅge vātāgniśastraiḥ patanena vāpi | yadā bhavetpañcaghaṭīvilagne tadā bṛhatko na tadardhalagne

If Saturn is so placed, there is a wound on the head from wind, fire or weapons, or else from a fall. When the birth falls in a lagna of five ghaṭikās, the head is large; but not so when the lagna is half of that.

आहुर्बृहत्कं मुनयस्तदूनं लग्ने शिरः सङ्कुचितं तु तज्ज्ञाः । शुष्के खगे लग्नगते विलग्ने शुष्के यदा देहकृशत्वमाहुः

āhurbṛhatkaṃ munayastadūnaṃ lagne śiraḥ saṅkucitaṃ tu tajjñāḥ | śuṣke khage lagnagate vilagne śuṣke yadā dehakṛśatvamāhuḥ

The sages call the head large; but when the lagna is less than that, those who know declare the head to be contracted. When a dry (śuṣka) planet is in the lagna, or when the ascendant itself is a dry sign, they declare leanness of body.

लग्नेश्वरे शुष्कयुते तथैव शुष्कग्रहाणां भवनस्थिते वा । लग्नाधिपे नाशगते तु शुष्कराशौ तनौ शुष्कमतीव कष्टम्

lagneśvare śuṣkayute tathaiva śuṣkagrahāṇāṃ bhavanasthite vā | lagnādhipe nāśagate tu śuṣkarāśau tanau śuṣkamatīva kaṣṭam

The same when the lord of the lagna is joined with a dry planet, or stands in the house of dry planets. But when the lord of the lagna is in the 12th and there is a dry sign in the first house, the emaciation is extreme and very distressing.

लग्नाधिपस्थांशपराशिनाथः शुष्कग्रहस्थस्तनुशुष्कमाहुः । शुष्के विलग्ने बहुपापयुक्ते तत्रापि देहस्य कृशत्वमाहुः

lagnādhipasthāṃśaparāśināthaḥ śuṣkagrahasthastanuśuṣkamāhuḥ | śuṣke vilagne bahupāpayukte tatrāpi dehasya kṛśatvamāhuḥ

When the lord of the sign of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the lagna stands with a dry planet, they declare a dry (emaciated) body. When the ascendant is a dry sign joined with many malefics, there too they declare leanness of body.

लग्ने जलर्क्षे शुभखेचरेन्द्रैर्युक्ते तनुस्थौल्यमुदाहरन्ति । लग्नाधिपस्तोयखगो बलाढ्यः सौम्यान्वितश्चेत्तनुपुष्टिमाहुः

lagne jalarkṣe śubhakhecarendrairyukte tanusthaulyamudāharanti | lagnādhipastoyakhago balāḍhyaḥ saumyānvitaścettanupuṣṭimāhuḥ

When the lagna is a watery sign joined with benefic planets, they declare stoutness of body. If the lord of the lagna is a watery planet, strong and joined with benefics, they declare a well-nourished body.

लग्नाधिपश्चेज्जलराशिसंस्थः शुभान्वितस्तोयखगेन दृष्टः । लग्ने शुभक्षेत्रगतेऽपि चैवं लग्नेश्वरस्यांशपतौ जलर्क्षे

lagnādhipaścejjalarāśisaṃsthaḥ śubhānvitastoyakhagena dṛṣṭaḥ | lagne śubhakṣetragate'pi caivaṃ lagneśvarasyāṃśapatau jalarkṣe

If the lord of the lagna stands in a watery sign, joined with benefics and aspected by a watery planet; and likewise when the ascendant is in a benefic's sign; and when the lord of the navāṃśa of the lord of the lagna is in a watery sign —

पापग्रहाणाञ्च दृशा विहीने लग्ने शुभक्षेत्रगतेऽपि चैवम् । लग्ने गुरौ तेन निरीक्षिते वा जलर्क्षगेणापि जले विलग्ने

pāpagrahāṇāñca dṛśā vihīne lagne śubhakṣetragate'pi caivam | lagne gurau tena nirīkṣite vā jalarkṣageṇāpi jale vilagne

— and when the ascendant is free from the aspect of malefic planets and stands in a benefic's sign; and when Jupiter is in the lagna or aspects it while himself in a watery sign, the ascendant too being watery —

सौम्यान्विते शोभनखेचरेन्द्रैर्दृष्टे त्वतिस्थौल्यमुदाहरन्ति । लग्ने शनौ राहुयुतेऽथ वा स्यात् पिशाचबाधा प्रवदन्ति सन्तः

saumyānvite śobhanakhecarendrairdṛṣṭe tvatisthaulyamudāharanti | lagne śanau rāhuyute'tha vā syāt piśācabādhā pravadanti santaḥ

— and it is joined with benefics and aspected by auspicious planets, they declare extreme stoutness. But when Saturn is in the lagna joined with Rāhu, the good declare affliction by a piśāca.

लग्ने रविर्भूमिसुतेन दृष्टः श्वासं क्षयं विद्रधिगुल्मभाजम् । भौमे विलग्ने शनिसूर्यदृष्टे खड्गादिभिः पीडितदेहभाक्स्यात्

lagne ravirbhūmisutena dṛṣṭaḥ śvāsaṃ kṣayaṃ vidradhigulmabhājam | bhaume vilagne śanisūryadṛṣṭe khaḍgādibhiḥ pīḍitadehabhāksyāt

The Sun in the lagna aspected by Mars makes the native subject to asthma (śvāsa), consumption (kṣaya), abscess (vidradhi) and gulma. When Mars is in the lagna aspected by Saturn and the Sun, the native's body will be injured by swords and the like.

केतौ विलग्ने बहुपापदृष्टे पिशाचचौरैर्भवति ध्रुवं भीः । लग्ने चरे तद्भवनेश्वरे वा चरस्थिते सञ्चरति प्रजातः

ketau vilagne bahupāpadṛṣṭe piśācacaurairbhavati dhruvaṃ bhīḥ | lagne care tadbhavaneśvare vā carasthite sañcarati prajātaḥ

When Ketu is in the lagna and aspected by many malefics, fear from piśācas and thieves is certain. When the lagna is a movable sign, or when its lord stands in a movable sign, the native born is a wanderer.

सञ्चारशीलश्चरभे विलग्ने लग्नांशके चैवमुदाहरन्ति । विदेशभाग्यं चरभे विलग्ने चरे तदीशे चरखेटदृष्टे

sañcāraśīlaścarabhe vilagne lagnāṃśake caivamudāharanti | videśabhāgyaṃ carabhe vilagne care tadīśe carakheṭadṛṣṭe

When the lagna is a movable sign, and likewise when the navāṃśa of the lagna is movable, they declare the man to be of a wandering disposition. When the lagna is a movable sign, its lord too is in a movable sign, and it is aspected by planets standing in movable signs, his fortune lies in a foreign land.

स्थिरे स्वदेशे बहुभाग्ययुक्तः स्थिरग्रहैर्भूरि धनान्वितः स्यात् । मिश्रग्रहैर्मिश्रितभाग्यकीर्तिः नानाप्रदेशे प्रचरन् कुमार्गी

sthire svadeśe bahubhāgyayuktaḥ sthiragrahairbhūri dhanānvitaḥ syāt | miśragrahairmiśritabhāgyakīrtiḥ nānāpradeśe pracaran kumārgī

With a fixed sign he is greatly fortunate in his own country; and with planets in fixed signs he possesses abundant wealth. With planets of mixed nature his fortune and fame are mixed, and he roams through various regions and follows evil ways.

लग्नेश्वरे वीर्ययुते स्वतुङ्गे गम्भीरगामी पुरुषोऽन्यथा स्यात् । हीने तदीशे स जडः शुभैस्तु दृष्टे युते वा न तथाविधे तत्

lagneśvare vīryayute svatuṅge gambhīragāmī puruṣo'nyathā syāt | hīne tadīśe sa jaḍaḥ śubhaistu dṛṣṭe yute vā na tathāvidhe tat

When the lord of the lagna is endowed with strength and stands in its own exaltation, the man is deep and grave in his conduct; otherwise he is not. When that lord is weak he is dull-witted; but if it is aspected by or joined with benefics, he is not so.

लग्ने शुभे शोभनदृष्टियुक्ते बाल्यात्सुखं तन्न हि पापयोगात् । दुःखी भवेत्पापबहुत्वयोगे लग्ने तु बाल्यान्मरणान्तकालम्

lagne śubhe śobhanadṛṣṭiyukte bālyātsukhaṃ tanna hi pāpayogāt | duḥkhī bhavetpāpabahutvayoge lagne tu bālyānmaraṇāntakālam

When the lagna is auspicious and has the aspect of benefics, there is happiness from childhood onward; but not so where malefics are joined to it. Where many malefics are joined to the lagna, he is unhappy from childhood until the hour of death.

वर्गोत्तमांशे यदि लग्ननाथे स्वोच्चांशके वा स्वसुहृद्दृकाणे । शुभान्विते वा शुभदृष्टिपाते नरो भवेदामरणान्तसौख्यः

vargottamāṃśe yadi lagnanāthe svoccāṃśake vā svasuhṛddṛkāṇe | śubhānvite vā śubhadṛṣṭipāte naro bhavedāmaraṇāntasaukhyaḥ

If the lord of the lagna is in a vargottama navāṃśa, or in the navāṃśa of its own exaltation, or in the drekkāṇa of its own friend, or is joined with benefics, or receives the aspect of benefics, the man enjoys happiness right up to his death.

लग्नान्त्यलाभे शुभखेचरेन्द्रे लग्नेश्वरे केन्द्रगते बलाढ्ये । सिंहासनांशे यदि देवपूज्ये जातो भवेदादिममध्यसौख्यः

lagnāntyalābhe śubhakhecarendre lagneśvare kendragate balāḍhye | siṃhāsanāṃśe yadi devapūjye jāto bhavedādimamadhyasaukhyaḥ

When benefic planets stand in the lagna, the twelfth and the eleventh, the lord of the lagna is in a kendra and full of strength, and Jupiter, whom the gods honour, is in a siṃhāsana portion, the native has happiness in the first and the middle parts of his life.

लग्नार्थसोत्थे शुभदृष्टियोगे लग्नेश्वरे शोभनखेचरेन्द्रे । पारावतांशे यदि दानवेज्ये जातो भवेदादिममध्यसौख्यः

lagnārthasotthe śubhadṛṣṭiyoge lagneśvare śobhanakhecarendre | pārāvatāṃśe yadi dānavejye jāto bhavedādimamadhyasaukhyaḥ

When the lagna, the second and the third have the aspect and conjunction of benefics, the lord of the lagna is a planet of good quality, and Venus, the preceptor of the demons, is in a pārāvata portion, the native has happiness in the first and the middle parts of his life.

बाल्ये सुखी स्यात् त्रिदशेन्द्रपूज्ये केन्द्रे यदा लग्नपतिर्बलाढ्यः । पारावतांशे यदि लग्ननाथे स्त्रीपुत्रमित्रार्थसुखान्वितोऽयम्

bālye sukhī syāt tridaśendrapūjye kendre yadā lagnapatirbalāḍhyaḥ | pārāvatāṃśe yadi lagnanāthe strīputramitrārthasukhānvito'yam

He is happy in childhood when Jupiter, whom the lord of the gods honours, is in a kendra and the lord of the lagna is full of strength. And if the lord of the lagna is in a pārāvata portion, he is possessed of wife, sons, friends, wealth and happiness.

देवलोकांशगे शुक्रे लग्नेशे गोपुरांशके । लग्ने शुभग्रहैर्दृष्टे मध्यान्ते सुखमाप्नुयात्

devalokāṃśage śukre lagneśe gopurāṃśake | lagne śubhagrahairdṛṣṭe madhyānte sukhamāpnuyāt

When Venus is in a devaloka portion, the lord of the lagna in a gopura portion, and the lagna is aspected by benefic planets, he obtains happiness in the middle and at the close of life.

लग्ने शुभे धने पापे केन्द्रे पापसमन्विते । लग्नेश्वरे तूत्तमांशे आदौ दुःखं ततः सुखम्

lagne śubhe dhane pāpe kendre pāpasamanvite | lagneśvare tūttamāṃśe ādau duḥkhaṃ tataḥ sukham

When a benefic is in the lagna, a malefic in the second, and a kendra is occupied by malefics, but the lord of the lagna stands in an uttama portion, there is sorrow at first and happiness afterwards.

लग्ने पापे धने सौम्ये भाग्ये कश्चिच्छुभग्रहः । लग्नेशे देवलोकस्थे बाल्ये सौख्यमतोऽन्यथा

lagne pāpe dhane saumye bhāgye kaścicchubhagrahaḥ | lagneśe devalokasthe bālye saukhyamato'nyathā

When a malefic is in the lagna, a benefic in the second, some benefic planet in the ninth, and the lord of the lagna in a devaloka portion, there is happiness in childhood; where it stands otherwise, the result is otherwise.

लग्नेश्वरे कर्मगते दिनेशे लग्नान्विते शोभनखेचरेन्द्रैः । योगे प्रदिष्टे तनुपे स्वतुङ्गे सत्कीर्तिमाहुर्मुनयोऽत्र तज्ज्ञाः

lagneśvare karmagate dineśe lagnānvite śobhanakhecarendraiḥ | yoge pradiṣṭe tanupe svatuṅge satkīrtimāhurmunayo'tra tajjñāḥ

When the lord of the lagna is in the tenth, the Sun is joined to the lagna, the combination is formed by planets of excellent quality, and the lord of the body is in its own exaltation, the sages who know these matters declare that the man has good fame.

पापे विलग्नेशपतौ सराहौ केन्द्रस्थिते कर्मणि पापखेटे । नीचग्रहे लग्नगतेऽर्कदृष्टे दुष्कीर्तियुक्तः स भवेत्तदानीम्

pāpe vilagneśapatau sarāhau kendrasthite karmaṇi pāpakheṭe | nīcagrahe lagnagate'rkadṛṣṭe duṣkīrtiyuktaḥ sa bhavettadānīm

When the lord of the lord of the lagna is a malefic and stands with Rāhu in a kendra, a malefic planet is in the tenth, and a debilitated planet is in the lagna aspected by the Sun, then the man is at that time attended by ill fame.

आरोहवीर्ये तु विलग्ननाथे भाग्याधिपे तादृशवीर्ययुक्ते । विख्यातकीर्तिः प्रभवो नरस्तु शुभग्रहेणापि समन्विते स्यात्

ārohavīrye tu vilagnanāthe bhāgyādhipe tādṛśavīryayukte | vikhyātakīrtiḥ prabhavo narastu śubhagraheṇāpi samanvite syāt

When the lord of the lagna is in rising strength and the lord of the ninth is endowed with strength of the same kind, the man is of far-spread fame and of great power; and this holds too when the lord of the lagna is joined with a benefic planet.

आदौ वयसि पूर्वार्धे सौख्यं लग्ने भृगोः सुते । दुःखन्तु परभागे च बन्धौ पापे सुते तथा

ādau vayasi pūrvārdhe saukhyaṃ lagne bhṛgoḥ sute | duḥkhantu parabhāge ca bandhau pāpe sute tathā

There is happiness in the earlier half of life, in its opening years, when Venus is in the lagna or in the fifth; but sorrow in the latter part when malefics stand in the fourth and likewise in the fifth.

लग्नाधिपे शुभयुते यदि तुङ्गभागे केन्द्रत्रिकोणसहिते शुभदृष्टियुक्ते । कर्माधिपेन सहिते यदि वा स्वगेहे सद्भाग्यकीर्तिधनधान्यचिरायुरेति

lagnādhipe śubhayute yadi tuṅgabhāge kendratrikoṇasahite śubhadṛṣṭiyukte | karmādhipena sahite yadi vā svagehe sadbhāgyakīrtidhanadhānyacirāyureti

If the lord of the lagna is joined with a benefic, stands in the portion of its exaltation, is placed in a kendra or a trikoṇa and has the aspect of benefics; or if it is joined with the lord of the tenth, or stands in its own house — then he attains good fortune, fame, wealth, grain and long life.

लग्नाधिपोऽतिबलवानशुभैरदृष्टः केन्द्रस्थितः शुभखगैरवलोक्यमानः । मृत्युं विधूय विदधाति सुदीर्घमायुः सार्धं गुणैर्बहुभिरूर्जितया च लक्ष्म्या

lagnādhipo'tibalavānaśubhairadṛṣṭaḥ kendrasthitaḥ śubhakhagairavalokyamānaḥ | mṛtyuṃ vidhūya vidadhāti sudīrghamāyuḥ sārdhaṃ guṇairbahubhirūrjitayā ca lakṣmyā

The lord of the lagna, exceedingly strong, unaspected by malefics, placed in a kendra and looked upon by benefic planets, shakes off death and grants a very long life, together with many virtues and with vigorous prosperity.

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

kendratrikoṇanidhaneṣu na yasya pāpā lagnādhipaḥ suraguruśca catuṣṭayasthau | bhuktvā sukhāni vividhāni supuṇyakarmā jīvecca vatsaraśataṃ sa vimuktarogaḥ

He in whose chart no malefics stand in the kendras, the trikoṇas or the eighth, and whose lord of the lagna and Jupiter, the preceptor of the gods, are both in kendras, enjoys pleasures of many kinds, does meritorious deeds, and lives a hundred years free of disease.

लग्नेश्वरादतिबली निधनेश्वरोऽसौ केन्द्रस्थितैर्निधनरिष्फगतैश्च पापैः । तस्यायुरल्पमथ वा यदि मध्यमायु रुत्साहसङ्कटवशात् परमायुरेति

lagneśvarādatibalī nidhaneśvaro'sau kendrasthitairnidhanariṣphagataiśca pāpaiḥ | tasyāyuralpamatha vā yadi madhyamāyu rutsāhasaṅkaṭavaśāt paramāyureti

If the lord of the eighth is far stronger than the lord of the lagna, and malefics stand in the kendras or in the eighth and the twelfth, his life is short; or else it is of middling length, and by exertion in the face of danger he may reach the full term of life.

एकांशकस्था बुधशुक्रमन्दा धर्मे स्थिता लग्नमुपागता वा । षष्ठाष्टमे वा हिमगुश्च यस्य सहस्रवर्षद्वयमस्य जन्तोः

ekāṃśakasthā budhaśukramandā dharme sthitā lagnamupāgatā vā | ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame vā himaguśca yasya sahasravarṣadvayamasya jantoḥ

He in whose chart Mercury, Venus and Saturn stand in one and the same navāṃśa, placed in the ninth or come to the lagna, and the Moon is in the sixth or the eighth — for that being, two thousand years.

जीवांशकस्थाः सकला ग्रहेन्द्राः केन्द्राश्रिता धर्मधनाश्रिता वा । जातो नरः प्रव्रजितः स बाल्ये युगान्तमाहुर्बहुशास्त्रकर्ता

jīvāṃśakasthāḥ sakalā grahendrāḥ kendrāśritā dharmadhanāśritā vā | jāto naraḥ pravrajitaḥ sa bālye yugāntamāhurbahuśāstrakartā

When all the chief planets stand in the navāṃśas of Jupiter and occupy kendras, or occupy the ninth and the second, the man born renounces the world in his childhood and becomes the author of many śāstras; they say his life lasts to the end of an age.

मन्दांशकस्थाः रविभौमजीवाः कर्माश्रिता धर्मयुता बलाढ्याः । राशेः समाप्तौ हिमगौ विलग्ने युगान्तमायुः श्रियमादधाति

mandāṃśakasthāḥ ravibhaumajīvāḥ karmāśritā dharmayutā balāḍhyāḥ | rāśeḥ samāptau himagau vilagne yugāntamāyuḥ śriyamādadhāti

When the Sun, Mars and Jupiter stand in the navāṃśas of Saturn, occupy the tenth, are joined to the ninth and are full of strength, and the Moon stands at the very end of a sign in the lagna, this gives a life lasting to the end of an age, and prosperity with it.

धर्मेश्वरे धर्मगते च यस्य भौमांशकस्थे हिमगौ च दृष्टे । मुनीश्वरोऽयं मुनियोगजातः शास्त्रार्थकर्त्ता युगमादधाति

dharmeśvare dharmagate ca yasya bhaumāṃśakasthe himagau ca dṛṣṭe | munīśvaro'yaṃ muniyogajātaḥ śāstrārthakarttā yugamādadhāti

He whose lord of the ninth is in the ninth, standing in a navāṃśa of Mars and aspected by the Moon, is a lord among sages, born under the muni-yoga, an expounder of the meaning of the śāstras; and it confers upon him an age of life.

लग्नेशे धनराशिस्थे लग्नेशस्थांशपेऽपि वा । तथास्थिते लाभनाथे विंशद्वर्षात्परं सुखम्

lagneśe dhanarāśisthe lagneśasthāṃśape'pi vā | tathāsthite lābhanāthe viṃśadvarṣātparaṃ sukham

When the lord of the lagna is in the sign of the second, or the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the lagna is so placed, and the lord of the eleventh likewise, happiness comes after the twentieth year.

लग्नेशस्थांशनाथे तु केन्द्रकोणोच्चसंयुते । लाभेशे वा तथा युक्ते त्रिंशद्वर्षात्परं सुखम्

lagneśasthāṃśanāthe tu kendrakoṇoccasaṃyute | lābheśe vā tathā yukte triṃśadvarṣātparaṃ sukham

When the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the lagna is in a kendra, in a trikoṇa or in its exaltation, or when the lord of the eleventh is so placed, happiness comes after the thirtieth year.

लग्नेशे शुभराशिस्थे शुभग्रहनिरीक्षिते । गोपुरांशगते वापि षोडशाब्दात्परं सुखम्

lagneśe śubharāśisthe śubhagrahanirīkṣite | gopurāṃśagate vāpi ṣoḍaśābdātparaṃ sukham

When the lord of the lagna stands in an auspicious sign and is aspected by benefic planets, or stands in a gopura portion, happiness comes after the sixteenth year.

ग्रहयोगेक्षणाभ्यान्तु बलाबलवशादपि । लग्नस्यैवं फलं प्रोक्तं श्रीमद्वेङ्कटशर्मणा

grahayogekṣaṇābhyāntu balābalavaśādapi | lagnasyaivaṃ phalaṃ proktaṃ śrīmadveṅkaṭaśarmaṇā

In this way the result of the lagna has been declared by the illustrious Veṅkaṭa Śarman, according to the conjunction and the aspect of the planets and according to their strength and weakness.

कौटुम्बाद्धर्त्तव्यान्मुखं च वाग्दक्षिणाक्षिपूर्वार्थान् । विद्याभुक्तिविशेषान् दासान् मित्राणि च प्रवदेत्

kauṭumbāddharttavyānmukhaṃ ca vāgdakṣiṇākṣipūrvārthān | vidyābhuktiviśeṣān dāsān mitrāṇi ca pravadet

From the 2nd house (kuṭumba) one should declare those who must be maintained, the face, speech, the right eye, wealth previously acquired, particular details of learning and of food enjoyed, servants and friends.

लग्नेश्वरेण सहिते यदि वित्तनाथे दुस्थेऽस्थिनाशनमथास्फुजिदिन्दुयुक्ते । नेत्रेश्वरे तनुगते यदि नैशिकान्धः स्वोच्चे शुभग्रहयुते न तथा वदन्ति

lagneśvareṇa sahite yadi vittanāthe dusthe'sthināśanamathāsphujidinduyukte | netreśvare tanugate yadi naiśikāndhaḥ svocce śubhagrahayute na tathā vadanti

If the lord of wealth (the 2nd lord), joined with the lord of the ascendant, is badly placed, there is destruction of the bones. And if the lord of the eye (the 2nd lord), joined with Venus and the Moon, stands in the ascendant, the native is night-blind; but if it is in its exaltation or joined with benefic planets, they do not say so.

भान्वच्छलग्नपतिभिः सहिते तदीशे जात्यन्धको भवति रन्ध्रव्रणान्त्यगेऽपि । रिष्फे धरासुतगते नयनं हि वामं नाशं तदा व्रजति सूर्यसुते तदन्यत्

bhānvacchalagnapatibhiḥ sahite tadīśe jātyandhako bhavati randhravraṇāntyage'pi | riṣphe dharāsutagate nayanaṃ hi vāmaṃ nāśaṃ tadā vrajati sūryasute tadanyat

When the lord of that house is joined with the Sun, Venus and the lord of the ascendant, the native is born blind; and so too when it goes to the 8th, the 6th or the 12th. When Mars is in the 12th, the left eye goes to destruction; when Saturn is there, the other one.

चन्द्राऽर्कसंयुक्तहरौ विलग्ने शन्यारदृष्टेऽक्षिविनाशमाहुः । शुभाशुभैर्बुद्बुदलोचनः स्याच्छुभैर्न दोषः सहितेक्षणाभ्याम्

candrā'rkasaṃyuktaharau vilagne śanyāradṛṣṭe'kṣivināśamāhuḥ | śubhāśubhairbudbudalocanaḥ syācchubhairna doṣaḥ sahitekṣaṇābhyām

When Leo is the ascendant with the Moon and the Sun in it, and it is aspected by Saturn and Mars, they declare the destruction of the eye. With benefics and malefics together, the native has bulging, bubble-like eyes; with benefics alone joining and aspecting, there is no defect.

निमीलिताक्षश्च धनेशपापे तदीश्वरे शोभनदृष्टियुक्ते । लग्नाधिपे पापबहुत्वयोगे यमेन दृष्टे स तु रोगिनेत्रः

nimīlitākṣaśca dhaneśapāpe tadīśvare śobhanadṛṣṭiyukte | lagnādhipe pāpabahutvayoge yamena dṛṣṭe sa tu roginetraḥ

He has half-closed eyes when the lord of wealth is a malefic, even though its own dispositor has a good aspect. And when the lord of the ascendant is in conjunction with many malefics and is aspected by Saturn, he has diseased eyes.

नेत्रे शुभे तद्भवनेश्वरे वा सौम्यान्विते कारकखेचरेन्द्रे । लग्नेश्वरेणापि युतेऽथ दृष्टे विशालदृष्टिः स नरो विशेषात्

netre śubhe tadbhavaneśvare vā saumyānvite kārakakhecarendre | lagneśvareṇāpi yute'tha dṛṣṭe viśāladṛṣṭiḥ sa naro viśeṣāt

When a benefic is in the house of the eye, or the lord of that house is joined with benefics, and so too the kāraka planet; and when it is also joined with or aspected by the lord of the ascendant — that man has notably large eyes.

शन्यारयोगे गुलिकेन युक्ते नेत्रेश्वरे तत्र तु नेत्ररोगः । नेत्रे यदा पापबहुत्वयोगे यमेन दृष्टे सति रुग्णनेत्रः

śanyārayoge gulikena yukte netreśvare tatra tu netrarogaḥ | netre yadā pāpabahutvayoge yamena dṛṣṭe sati rugṇanetraḥ

When the lord of the eye is in conjunction with Saturn and Mars and joined with Gulika, there is disease of the eye. And when the house of the eye is in conjunction with many malefics and is aspected by Saturn, he has a diseased eye.

नेत्रेश्वरस्यांशपतौ सपापे पापग्रहक्षेत्रगते तथैव । नेत्राधिपे वासरनायके तु धरासुते वा गुलिकार्कदृष्टे

netreśvarasyāṃśapatau sapāpe pāpagrahakṣetragate tathaiva | netrādhipe vāsaranāyake tu dharāsute vā gulikārkadṛṣṭe

When the lord of the navāṃśa of the lord of the eye is with malefics, or is likewise placed in the sign of a malefic planet; or when the lord of the eye — being the Sun, the lord of the day, or Mars — is aspected by Gulika and the Sun,

उष्णोद्भवेनाप्यथ पित्तकोपैर्नेत्रस्य रोगो भवति प्रमादैः । अव्याजरोगैर्नयनस्य रोगस्तत्स्थानपे दुःस्थगते ससौम्ये

uṣṇodbhavenāpyatha pittakopairnetrasya rogo bhavati pramādaiḥ | avyājarogairnayanasya rogastatsthānape duḥsthagate sasaumye

then disease of the eye arises from heat, from disorders of pitta, and from accidents. And when the lord of that house is badly placed even though with a benefic, the eye's disease is one with no apparent cause.

सहोदरात्मोद्भवशत्रुगेहे कलत्रमित्रादि लभेत्तथैव । रव्यारयुक्ते सति नेत्रनाथे दृष्टे तु ताभ्यां नयनान्तरक्तः

sahodarātmodbhavaśatrugehe kalatramitrādi labhettathaiva | ravyārayukte sati netranāthe dṛṣṭe tu tābhyāṃ nayanāntaraktaḥ

In the same way one derives these matters, counting from the house of brothers (3rd), of sons (5th) and of enemies (6th), for wife, friends and the rest. When the lord of the eye is joined with the Sun and Mars, or is aspected by those two, the inside of the eye is red.

सौम्यग्रहौ कारकभावनाथौ स्यातां शुभा दृष्टिरसौम्यता तु । पापग्रहैर्वीक्षणयोगतश्च पित्रादिकानां फलमेवमाहुः

saumyagrahau kārakabhāvanāthau syātāṃ śubhā dṛṣṭirasaumyatā tu | pāpagrahairvīkṣaṇayogataśca pitrādikānāṃ phalamevamāhuḥ

When benefic planets are the kāraka and the lord of the house, the eyesight is good; but when malefics aspect or conjoin, it is not benign. In this way, they say, the results for the father and the other relations are also to be judged.

कुटुम्बराशेरधिपे ससौम्ये केन्द्रस्थिते स्वोच्चसुहृद्गृहे वा । सौम्यर्क्षयुक्ते यदि जातपुण्यः कुटुम्बसंरक्षणवाग्विलासः

kuṭumbarāśeradhipe sasaumye kendrasthite svoccasuhṛdgṛhe vā | saumyarkṣayukte yadi jātapuṇyaḥ kuṭumbasaṃrakṣaṇavāgvilāsaḥ

When the lord of the 2nd sign is with a benefic and stands in a kendra, or in its own exaltation or a friend's house, or is joined with a benefic's sign, the native is a man of merit, maintains his family, and has grace in speech.

स्वोच्चस्थिते शोभनखेचरेन्द्रे कुटुम्बराशौ शुभवीक्षिते वा । अनेकसंरक्षणजातपुण्यो लग्नेश्वरे वीर्ययुते स्वतुङ्गे

svoccasthite śobhanakhecarendre kuṭumbarāśau śubhavīkṣite vā | anekasaṃrakṣaṇajātapuṇyo lagneśvare vīryayute svatuṅge

When a benefic planet standing in its own exaltation is in the 2nd sign, or the 2nd is aspected by benefics, and the lord of the ascendant is strong and in its exaltation, the native is meritorious and gives protection to many.

गुरौ कुटुम्बे स्वपतौ यदि स्याद् भृगौ बुधे तादृशभावनाथे । स्वोच्चे सुहृत्क्षेत्रगतेऽथ बन्धौ परोपकारी जनरक्षकः स्यात्

gurau kuṭumbe svapatau yadi syād bhṛgau budhe tādṛśabhāvanāthe | svocce suhṛtkṣetragate'tha bandhau paropakārī janarakṣakaḥ syāt

If Jupiter is in the 2nd and is himself its lord, or if Venus or Mercury be the lord of that house, placed in exaltation, in a friend's sign or in that of a kinsman, the native is a benefactor of others and a protector of people.

पापे तु तद्राशिपतौ तदानीं पापेक्षिते पापयुते स्वतुङ्गे । लग्नेश्वरे हीनबले सपापे स्वजीवनोपायसहायको न

pāpe tu tadrāśipatau tadānīṃ pāpekṣite pāpayute svatuṅge | lagneśvare hīnabale sapāpe svajīvanopāyasahāyako na

But when the lord of that sign is a malefic, and is aspected by or joined with malefics even in its own exaltation, and the lord of the ascendant is weak and with malefics, he has no help even in the means of his own living.

पापे बहुत्वे स्वकुटुम्बराशौ पापेक्षिते हीनबले तदीशे । दुःस्थे विलग्नाधिपतौ सपापे स्वजीवनं नास्ति सुखेन तस्य

pāpe bahutve svakuṭumbarāśau pāpekṣite hīnabale tadīśe | duḥsthe vilagnādhipatau sapāpe svajīvanaṃ nāsti sukhena tasya

When many malefics occupy his 2nd sign and it is aspected by malefics, its lord being weak and badly placed, and the lord of the ascendant is with malefics, his own livelihood is not had in comfort.

पत्यौ कुटुम्बस्य तृतीयराशौ स्थिते यदा पुंग्रहसौम्यदृष्टे । शुभस्थिते खेचरनायके स्यात् स्वतुङ्गगे सर्वजनावनीशः

patyau kuṭumbasya tṛtīyarāśau sthite yadā puṃgrahasaumyadṛṣṭe | śubhasthite khecaranāyake syāt svatuṅgage sarvajanāvanīśaḥ

When the lord of the 2nd stands in the 3rd sign, aspected by masculine and benefic planets, and the ruling planet is well placed in its own exaltation, that man becomes the protector of all people.

तन्नाथे गोपुरांशस्थे कुटुम्बेशांशपे शुभे । सिंहासनांशके वापि पञ्चाशज्जनरक्षकः

tannāthe gopurāṃśasthe kuṭumbeśāṃśape śubhe | siṃhāsanāṃśake vāpi pañcāśajjanarakṣakaḥ

When its lord is in a gopura division, and the lord of the navāṃśa of the 2nd lord is a benefic, or is in a siṃhāsana division, he is the protector of fifty people.

स्वोच्चत्रिकोणायगते कुटुम्बराशेः पतौ लग्नपते बलाढ्ये । कुटुम्बनाथस्थितराशिनाथे केन्द्रस्थिते सर्वजनावनीशः

svoccatrikoṇāyagate kuṭumbarāśeḥ patau lagnapate balāḍhye | kuṭumbanāthasthitarāśināthe kendrasthite sarvajanāvanīśaḥ

When the lord of the 2nd sign is in its exaltation, in a trine or in the 11th, the lord of the ascendant is strong, and the lord of the sign occupied by the 2nd lord is in a kendra, he becomes the protector of all people.

द्वितीये पापसंयुक्ते कुटुम्बेशे तथास्थिते । पापग्रहेण सन्दृष्टे दुर्घटे भावनं लभेत्

dvitīye pāpasaṃyukte kuṭumbeśe tathāsthite | pāpagraheṇa sandṛṣṭe durghaṭe bhāvanaṃ labhet

When the 2nd house is joined with malefics and the lord of the 2nd is likewise placed and aspected by a malefic planet, he obtains his sustenance only with difficulty.

आविंशते रक्षकः स्यात् कुटुम्बेशे शुभैर्युते । पारावतांशके तस्मिन् धने चन्द्रसमन्विते

āviṃśate rakṣakaḥ syāt kuṭumbeśe śubhairyute | pārāvatāṃśake tasmin dhane candrasamanvite

He becomes the protector of as many as twenty when the lord of the 2nd is joined with benefics; and more so when that lord is in a pārāvata division and the 2nd house is joined with the Moon.

स्वोच्चे सुहृद्भे स्वगृहे तदीशे सिंहासने तद्भवनेश्वरे वा । पारावतांशे गुरुदृष्टियुक्ते शतत्रयं शास्ति च जातपुण्यः

svocce suhṛdbhe svagṛhe tadīśe siṃhāsane tadbhavaneśvare vā | pārāvatāṃśe gurudṛṣṭiyukte śatatrayaṃ śāsti ca jātapuṇyaḥ

When its lord is in its exaltation, in a friend's sign or in its own house; or when the lord of that house is in a siṃhāsana or a pārāvata division and has Jupiter's aspect — the meritorious native rules over three hundred.

कुटुम्बनाथे परमोच्चयुक्ते देवेन्द्रपूज्येन समीक्षिते वा । तथाविधे तद्भवनेऽपि जातः सहस्ररक्षो भवति प्रतापैः

kuṭumbanāthe paramoccayukte devendrapūjyena samīkṣite vā | tathāvidhe tadbhavane'pi jātaḥ sahasrarakṣo bhavati pratāpaiḥ

When the lord of the 2nd is in its deepest exaltation (paramocca), or is aspected by Jupiter, and the 2nd house too is similarly placed, the native becomes by his majesty the protector of a thousand.

सिंहासनांशे त्रिदशेशपूज्ये शुक्रे पुनर्गोपुरसंयुते तु । ऐरावतांशे धनपे बलाढ्ये जातस्त्वसंख्यातनृरक्षकः स्यात्

siṃhāsanāṃśe tridaśeśapūjye śukre punargopurasaṃyute tu | airāvatāṃśe dhanape balāḍhye jātastvasaṃkhyātanṛrakṣakaḥ syāt

When Jupiter, worshipped by the lord of the gods, is in a siṃhāsana division, and Venus again in a gopura division, and the lord of wealth is strong in an airāvata division, the native becomes the protector of countless men.

मुखेशे केन्द्रभावस्थे शुभग्रहनिरीक्षिते । मुखे सौम्ययुते वापि सुमुखः स नरो भवेत्

mukheśe kendrabhāvasthe śubhagrahanirīkṣite | mukhe saumyayute vāpi sumukhaḥ sa naro bhavet

When the lord of the face (the 2nd lord) is in a kendra and is aspected by benefic planets, or when the house of the face is joined with a benefic, that man is fair of face.

प्रफुल्लवदनः श्रीमान् केन्द्रे मुखपतौ यदा । स्वोच्चमित्रस्ववर्गस्थे तन्नाथे गोपुरांशके

praphullavadanaḥ śrīmān kendre mukhapatau yadā | svoccamitrasvavargasthe tannāthe gopurāṃśake

He is of a beaming countenance and prosperous when the lord of the face is in a kendra, and its own lord stands in its exaltation, in a friend's or in its own varga, in a gopura division.

पापैर्युते मुखस्थाने तन्नाथे पापसंयुते । नीचराशिगते वापि दुर्मुखः पापवीक्षिते

pāpairyute mukhasthāne tannāthe pāpasaṃyute | nīcarāśigate vāpi durmukhaḥ pāpavīkṣite

When the house of the face is joined with malefics and its lord too is with malefics, or is in a sign of debilitation and aspected by malefics, he is ill-favoured of face.

क्रोधयुक् स नरः पापी तदीशे गुलिकान्विते । पापयोगबहुत्वेऽस्मिन् नीचशत्रुवशं गतः

krodhayuk sa naraḥ pāpī tadīśe gulikānvite | pāpayogabahutve'smin nīcaśatruvaśaṃ gataḥ

That man is wrathful and given to evil when the lord of that house is joined with Gulika; and when malefic conjunctions abound in this house, he falls under the power of low enemies.

वाक्स्थानपे सौम्ययुते त्रिकोणे केन्द्रस्थिते तुङ्गसमन्विते वा । शुभेक्षिते पुङ्ग्रहयोगयुक्ते वाग्मी भवेद्युक्तिसमन्वितोऽसौ

vāksthānape saumyayute trikoṇe kendrasthite tuṅgasamanvite vā | śubhekṣite puṅgrahayogayukte vāgmī bhavedyuktisamanvito'sau

When the lord of the house of speech is joined with benefics and stands in a trine or a kendra, or is in exaltation, aspected by benefics and joined with masculine planets, he becomes eloquent and sound in reasoning.

वाक्स्थानपे देवपुरोहितेन युक्ते यदा नाशगतेऽत्र मूकः । पित्रादिकानां इयमेव रीतिरुक्ता मुनीन्द्रैः बहुशास्त्रविद्भिः

vāksthānape devapurohitena yukte yadā nāśagate'tra mūkaḥ | pitrādikānāṃ iyameva rītiruktā munīndraiḥ bahuśāstravidbhiḥ

When the lord of the house of speech, joined with Jupiter, the priest of the gods, goes to a house of loss, the native is dumb. This same method has been declared for the father and the other relations by the chief sages, who were versed in many śāstras.

वाचालकः केन्द्रगते तदीशे पारावतांशे परमोच्चभागे । सिंहासने देवगुरौ भृगौ वा वर्गोत्तमे सोमसुतेन युक्ते

vācālakaḥ kendragate tadīśe pārāvatāṃśe paramoccabhāge | siṃhāsane devagurau bhṛgau vā vargottame somasutena yukte

The man is a fluent speaker (vācālaka) when the lord of that house (the 2nd, of speech) is in a kendra, in the pārāvatāṃśa, or in deep exaltation; or when Jupiter or Venus is in the siṃhāsana or in vargottama and joined with Mercury.

वागीशस्यांशपे सौम्ये स्वोच्चे शुभसमन्विते । गोपुरांशगते वापि वाग्मी पटुतरो भवेत्

vāgīśasyāṃśape saumye svocce śubhasamanvite | gopurāṃśagate vāpi vāgmī paṭutaro bhavet

When the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of speech (the 2nd) is Mercury, standing in his own exaltation and joined with benefics, or is in the gopurāṃśa, the man becomes an exceptionally skilful speaker.

वागीशोऽपि बलान्वितः शुभयुतो वर्गोत्तमांशेऽपि वा वाग्मीस्याद्भवनेश्वरो गुरुयुतः पारावतांशेऽपि वा । तन्नाथो भृगुणा बुधेन सहितस्त्वैरावतांशे तथा स्वोच्चे स्वे सुहृदां गृहे धनपतौ वाक्स्थानकोलाहलः

vāgīśo'pi balānvitaḥ śubhayuto vargottamāṃśe'pi vā vāgmīsyādbhavaneśvaro guruyutaḥ pārāvatāṃśe'pi vā | tannātho bhṛguṇā budhena sahitastvairāvatāṃśe tathā svocce sve suhṛdāṃ gṛhe dhanapatau vāksthānakolāhalaḥ

The lord of the 2nd, if strong, joined with benefics, or in the vargottama navāṃśa, makes the man eloquent. So too if the lord of that house is joined with Jupiter or stands in the pārāvatāṃśa; or if its lord is joined with Venus and Mercury and stands in the airāvatāṃśa; and likewise when the lord of wealth is in his own exaltation, his own house, or a friend's house — there is then a very din of speech in the house of speech.

सभाजडो वागधिपः सपापः कर्मस्थितो नीचगतोऽर्कयुक्तः । मान्द्यन्विते वाग्भवनेऽर्कयुक्ते पापैस्तु दृष्टे स जडोऽत्र जातः

sabhājaḍo vāgadhipaḥ sapāpaḥ karmasthito nīcagato'rkayuktaḥ | māndyanvite vāgbhavane'rkayukte pāpaistu dṛṣṭe sa jaḍo'tra jātaḥ

When the lord of speech, afflicted by malefics, stands in the 10th, or is debilitated, or is joined with the Sun, the man is dull in an assembly. And when the house of speech is joined with Māndi and with the Sun and is aspected by malefics, the person born is dull-witted.

केन्द्रे बुधे वागधिपे बलाढ्ये शुक्रे धनभ्रातृगते ससौम्ये । स्वोच्चे धने दानवपूजिते वा ज्योतिर्विदां श्रेष्ठतमो नरः स्यात्

kendre budhe vāgadhipe balāḍhye śukre dhanabhrātṛgate sasaumye | svocce dhane dānavapūjite vā jyotirvidāṃ śreṣṭhatamo naraḥ syāt

When Mercury is in a kendra, the lord of the 2nd is strong, Venus stands in the 2nd or the 3rd along with Mercury, and the lord of the 2nd is in his own exaltation, or Venus (dānava-pūjita, the preceptor of the demons) is in the 2nd — the man becomes the foremost among those who know the science of the heavens (jyotiṣa).

गणितज्ञो भवेज्जातो वाग्भावे भूमिनन्दने । ससोमे बुधसन्दृष्टे केन्द्रे वा सोमनन्दने

gaṇitajño bhavejjāto vāgbhāve bhūminandane | sasome budhasandṛṣṭe kendre vā somanandane

The native becomes skilled in computation when Mars stands in the house of speech together with the Moon and aspected by Mercury, or when Mercury is in a kendra.

वाग्भावपे बुधे स्वोच्चे लग्ने देवेन्द्रपूजिते । शनावष्टमसंयुक्ते गणितज्ञो भवेन्नरः

vāgbhāvape budhe svocce lagne devendrapūjite | śanāvaṣṭamasaṃyukte gaṇitajño bhavennaraḥ

When Mercury, the lord of the house of speech, is in his own exaltation, Jupiter (devendra-pūjita) is in the lagna, and Saturn is joined with the 8th, the man becomes skilled in computation.

केन्द्रत्रिकोणगे जीवे शुक्रे स्वोच्चगते सति । वाग्भावपेन्दुपुत्रे वा गणितज्ञो भवेन्नरः

kendratrikoṇage jīve śukre svoccagate sati | vāgbhāvapenduputre vā gaṇitajño bhavennaraḥ

When Jupiter is in a kendra or a trine and Venus stands in his own exaltation, or when Mercury (indu-putra) is lord of the house of speech, the man becomes skilled in computation.

वाग्भावपे रवौ भौमे गुरुशुक्रनिरीक्षिते । पारावतांशगे सौम्ये तत्तद्युक्तिपरायणः

vāgbhāvape ravau bhaume guruśukranirīkṣite | pārāvatāṃśage saumye tattadyuktiparāyaṇaḥ

When the lord of the house of speech is the Sun or Mars, aspected by Jupiter and Venus, and Mercury is in the pārāvatāṃśa, the man is given to reasoning out each matter for himself.

गुरुशुक्रौ धनेशौ चेद्रविभौमनिरीक्षितौ । मूलत्रिकोणतुङ्गे वा तर्कशास्त्रविदां वरः

guruśukrau dhaneśau cedravibhaumanirīkṣitau | mūlatrikoṇatuṅge vā tarkaśāstravidāṃ varaḥ

If Jupiter and Venus are lords of the 2nd and are aspected by the Sun and Mars, or stand in mūlatrikoṇa or in exaltation, the man is the best of those versed in the science of logic.

सम्पूर्णबलसंयुक्ते गुरौ तद्भवनेश्वरे । दिनेशभृगुसन्दृष्टे शाब्दिकोऽयं नरो भवेत्

sampūrṇabalasaṃyukte gurau tadbhavaneśvare | dineśabhṛgusandṛṣṭe śābdiko'yaṃ naro bhavet

When Jupiter and the lord of that house are possessed of full strength and are aspected by the Sun and Venus, the man becomes a grammarian (śābdika).

वाग्भावपे बुधे स्वोच्चे गोपुरांशगते शनौ । सिंहासने गुरौ वापि वेदान्तज्ञो भवेन्नरः

vāgbhāvape budhe svocce gopurāṃśagate śanau | siṃhāsane gurau vāpi vedāntajño bhavennaraḥ

When Mercury, lord of the house of speech, is in his own exaltation, Saturn is in the gopurāṃśa, or Jupiter is in the siṃhāsana, the man becomes learned in Vedānta.

वेदान्तपरिशीलः स्यात् केन्द्रकोणे गुरौ सति । बुधेन गुरुणा दृष्टे शनौ पारावतांशके

vedāntapariśīlaḥ syāt kendrakoṇe gurau sati | budhena guruṇā dṛṣṭe śanau pārāvatāṃśake

He becomes a diligent student of Vedānta when Jupiter stands in a kendra or a trine, and Saturn, aspected by Mercury and Jupiter, is in the pārāvatāṃśa.

उत्तमांशे भृगौ लग्ने केन्द्रे वा तद्विधे भृगौ । देवलोकगते चन्द्रे वेदान्तज्ञानपारगः

uttamāṃśe bhṛgau lagne kendre vā tadvidhe bhṛgau | devalokagate candre vedāntajñānapāragaḥ

When Venus is in the uttamāṃśa in the lagna, or is similarly placed in a kendra, and the Moon is in the devalokāṃśa, he becomes a master of the knowledge of Vedānta.

षट्शास्त्रवल्लभो केन्द्रे जीवे दानवपूजिते । सिंहासने गोपुरांशे वाग्भावस्थांशके बुधे

ṣaṭśāstravallabho kendre jīve dānavapūjite | siṃhāsane gopurāṃśe vāgbhāvasthāṃśake budhe

He becomes a lover of the six śāstras when Jupiter and Venus are in kendras, and Mercury is in the siṃhāsana or the gopurāṃśa, in the navāṃśa occupied by the house of speech.

विप्रलम्भो धनेशस्य राशीशस्थांशपे शनौ । सपापे केन्द्रकोणे वा भौमेऽप्येवं विनिर्दिशेत्

vipralambho dhaneśasya rāśīśasthāṃśape śanau | sapāpe kendrakoṇe vā bhaume'pyevaṃ vinirdiśet

There is deception in the matter of the lord of wealth when Saturn is lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of his sign, and stands with malefics in a kendra or a trine; and the same is to be declared with Mars in that position too.

परिहासकरो नित्यं भानुस्थितनवांशपे । वाग्भावस्थे बलाढ्ये तु तस्मिन् वैशेषिकांशके

parihāsakaro nityaṃ bhānusthitanavāṃśape | vāgbhāvasthe balāḍhye tu tasmin vaiśeṣikāṃśake

He is forever making jokes when the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the Sun stands in the house of speech, is strong, and is in the vaiśeṣikāṃśa.

गुरौ बलाढ्ये धनराशियुक्ते तदीश्वराक्रान्तनवांशनाथे । केन्द्रत्रिकोणे शुभवीक्षिते वा क्रमान्तविच्छास्त्रपरायणश्च

gurau balāḍhye dhanarāśiyukte tadīśvarākrāntanavāṃśanāthe | kendratrikoṇe śubhavīkṣite vā kramāntavicchāstraparāyaṇaśca

When Jupiter is strong and joined with the sign of the 2nd, and the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by that house's lord stands in a kendra or a trine or is aspected by benefics, the man masters the śāstra in its proper order and is devoted to it.

लग्नेश्वरे धनस्थे लग्ने वा सौम्यसंयुते तुङ्गे । पारावते तदीशे जातो निगमान्तविद् व्यये शुक्रे

lagneśvare dhanasthe lagne vā saumyasaṃyute tuṅge | pārāvate tadīśe jāto nigamāntavid vyaye śukre

When the lord of the lagna is in the 2nd, or stands in the lagna joined with benefics and in exaltation, and the lord of that house is in the pārāvatāṃśa, and Venus is in the 12th (vyaya), the native becomes a knower of the end of the Veda (Vedānta).

लग्नेश्वरस्यांशपतिस्थराशिनाथस्थितांशाधिपतौ बलाढ्ये । वैशेषिकांशे शुभदृष्टियुक्ते योगे बहुत्वे धनलाभमाहुः

lagneśvarasyāṃśapatistharāśināthasthitāṃśādhipatau balāḍhye | vaiśeṣikāṃśe śubhadṛṣṭiyukte yoge bahutve dhanalābhamāhuḥ

When the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the sign in which the navāṃśa-lord of the lagna-lord stands is strong, is in the vaiśeṣikāṃśa, and is joined with benefic aspects — and when such combinations are many — they declare gain of wealth.

वित्तेश्वरेण सहिते भवराशिनाथे कर्माधिपस्थनवभावपदृष्टियुक्ते । वैशेषिकांशकयुते परमोच्चभागे योगे बहुत्वधनलाभमिहाहुरार्याः

vitteśvareṇa sahite bhavarāśināthe karmādhipasthanavabhāvapadṛṣṭiyukte | vaiśeṣikāṃśakayute paramoccabhāge yoge bahutvadhanalābhamihāhurāryāḥ

When the lord of the sign of the house is joined with the lord of wealth, and is joined with the aspect of the lord of the 9th house that the lord of the 10th occupies, and stands in the vaiśeṣikāṃśa and in deep exaltation, and when such combinations are many — the venerable here declare gain of wealth.

धर्माधिपेन सहिते धनराशिनाथे लग्नेश्वरस्थितनवांशपतीश्वरेण । दृष्टे चतुष्टयगते शुभदृष्टियोगे जातस्तु भूरिधनलाभमुपैति बाल्ये

dharmādhipena sahite dhanarāśināthe lagneśvarasthitanavāṃśapatīśvareṇa | dṛṣṭe catuṣṭayagate śubhadṛṣṭiyoge jātastu bhūridhanalābhamupaiti bālye

When the lord of the sign of wealth is joined with the lord of the 9th and aspected by the lord of the navāṃśa-lord of the lagna-lord, and stands in a kendra with benefic aspect and conjunction, the native obtains abundant gain of wealth in childhood.

लग्नार्थलाभभवने शुभखेचरेन्द्रे स्वोच्चे सुहृद्गृहगतेऽत्र विशेषितांशे । तुङ्गांशके धनपतिस्थनवांशनाथ दृष्टेऽथ भूरि धनलाभमुपैति बाल्ये

lagnārthalābhabhavane śubhakhecarendre svocce suhṛdgṛhagate'tra viśeṣitāṃśe | tuṅgāṃśake dhanapatisthanavāṃśanātha dṛṣṭe'tha bhūri dhanalābhamupaiti bālye

When a chief among the benefic planets stands in the 1st, 2nd or 11th house, in its own exaltation or in a friend's house, and in the viśeṣitāṃśa; and when the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of wealth is in the exaltation navāṃśa and is aspected (by benefics) — he obtains abundant gain of wealth in childhood.

लग्नेशे धनराशिस्थे धनेशे लाभराशिगे । लाभेशे वापि लग्नस्थे बहुनिध्यादिकं भवेत्

lagneśe dhanarāśisthe dhaneśe lābharāśige | lābheśe vāpi lagnasthe bahunidhyādikaṃ bhavet

When the lord of the lagna is in the 2nd, the lord of the 2nd in the 11th, or the lord of the 11th in the lagna, there come to him many hoards of treasure and the like.

सर्वग्रहादतिबली यदि लग्ननाथः केन्द्रे स्थितस्त्रिदशपूजितसंयुतश्च । वैशेषिकांशकयुते धनराशिनाथे वित्तं स्ववीर्यबलतोर्जितमाहुरार्याः

sarvagrahādatibalī yadi lagnanāthaḥ kendre sthitastridaśapūjitasaṃyutaśca | vaiśeṣikāṃśakayute dhanarāśināthe vittaṃ svavīryabalatorjitamāhurāryāḥ

If the lord of the lagna is stronger than all the other planets, stands in a kendra and is joined with Jupiter (tridaśa-pūjita), and the lord of the sign of wealth is in the vaiśeṣikāṃśa, the venerable say that his wealth is won by his own prowess and strength.

लग्नेशसंयुतनवांशपतिस्थराशि नाथो बलेन सहितो धनपस्य मित्रम् । केन्द्रत्रिकोणसहितः स्वगृहेऽथ यद्वा जातः स्ववीर्यधनमेति बहुप्रकारैः

lagneśasaṃyutanavāṃśapatistharāśi nātho balena sahito dhanapasya mitram | kendratrikoṇasahitaḥ svagṛhe'tha yadvā jātaḥ svavīryadhanameti bahuprakāraiḥ

When the lord of the sign occupied by the navāṃśa-lord that is joined with the lagna-lord is possessed of strength, is a friend of the lord of wealth, and stands in a kendra or a trine or in his own house — the native gains wealth by his own prowess, in many ways.

वित्तेश्वरो लाभविलग्नपाभ्यां युक्तस्त्रिकोणे यदि केन्द्रराशौ । शुभेक्षितः कालबलान्वितश्च जातः स्ववीर्याद्धनमेति मध्ये

vitteśvaro lābhavilagnapābhyāṃ yuktastrikoṇe yadi kendrarāśau | śubhekṣitaḥ kālabalānvitaśca jātaḥ svavīryāddhanameti madhye

If the lord of wealth is joined with the lords of the 11th and of the lagna, stands in a trine or a kendra sign, is aspected by benefics and possesses temporal strength (kāla-bala), the native gains wealth by his own prowess in the middle period of life.

अन्ते धनं याति धनेशयुक्तः राशौ विलग्नेशयुते ससौम्ये । तदीश्वरे लग्नगते बलाढ्ये लाभेश्वरादेवमुदाहरन्ति

ante dhanaṃ yāti dhaneśayuktaḥ rāśau vilagneśayute sasaumye | tadīśvare lagnagate balāḍhye lābheśvarādevamudāharanti

He gains wealth at the close of life when (the lord of the 11th), joined with the lord of wealth, stands in a sign joined with the lagna-lord and with benefics, and when the lord of that sign is in the lagna and strong. They state the same reckoning from the lord of the 11th.

तृतीयराशौ धनलग्ननाथौ बलान्वितौ पुंग्रहदृष्टियुक्तौ । तदीश्वरेणापि युतौ प्रदृष्टौ भ्रातुर्धनं याति विशेषितांशे

tṛtīyarāśau dhanalagnanāthau balānvitau puṃgrahadṛṣṭiyuktau | tadīśvareṇāpi yutau pradṛṣṭau bhrāturdhanaṃ yāti viśeṣitāṃśe

When the lords of the 2nd and of the lagna stand in the 3rd sign, endowed with strength, joined with or aspected by masculine planets, and also joined with or aspected by the lord of that sign, in the viśeṣitāṃśa — he obtains wealth from a brother.

तृतीयभावाधिपतौ धनस्थे तत्र स्थिते कारकखेचरेन्द्रे । दृष्टे युते वा तनुपेन जातो भ्रातुर्धनं याति विशेषितांशे

tṛtīyabhāvādhipatau dhanasthe tatra sthite kārakakhecarendre | dṛṣṭe yute vā tanupena jāto bhrāturdhanaṃ yāti viśeṣitāṃśe

When the lord of the 3rd house is in the 2nd and the chief significator planet also stands there, aspected by or joined with the lord of the lagna, in the viśeṣitāṃśa — the native obtains wealth from a brother.

परस्परं वित्तपलग्ननाथौ निरीक्षितौ केन्द्रयुतौ शुभांशे । निरीक्षितौ कर्मशुभेश्वराभ्यां जातो धनं याति बहुप्रकारः

parasparaṃ vittapalagnanāthau nirīkṣitau kendrayutau śubhāṃśe | nirīkṣitau karmaśubheśvarābhyāṃ jāto dhanaṃ yāti bahuprakāraḥ

When the lord of the 2nd (vittapa) and the lord of the ascendant aspect each other, stand together in an angle in a benefic navāṃśa, and are aspected by the lord of the 10th (karmeśa) and by benefic lords, the native obtains wealth in many ways.

वित्तेश्वरं पश्यति लग्ननाथे युते स्ववीर्याद्धनमेति मर्त्त्यः । तृतीयभावाधिपकारकाभ्यां दृष्टे युते तादृशमेति वित्तम्

vitteśvaraṃ paśyati lagnanāthe yute svavīryāddhanameti marttyaḥ | tṛtīyabhāvādhipakārakābhyāṃ dṛṣṭe yute tādṛśameti vittam

When the lord of the ascendant aspects or is conjoined with the lord of the 2nd, the man obtains wealth by his own prowess. When [the lord of the 2nd] is aspected by or joined with the lord of the 3rd house and with its kāraka, he obtains wealth of that same kind.

दृष्टे युते वित्तपतौ बलाढ्ये सुखेश्वरेणापि धनं जनन्याः । बन्धोः सकाशादथ वा कृषेश्च धनं प्रयात्यत्र विशेषितांशे

dṛṣṭe yute vittapatau balāḍhye sukheśvareṇāpi dhanaṃ jananyāḥ | bandhoḥ sakāśādatha vā kṛṣeśca dhanaṃ prayātyatra viśeṣitāṃśe

When the strong lord of the 2nd is aspected by or conjoined with the lord of the 4th (sukheśa), wealth comes from the mother, or from a kinsman, or from agriculture; and here the native gains that wealth [in full measure] when the planet stands in a vaiśeṣika division.

दृष्टे युते वित्तपतौ धनस्थे तत्र स्थिते कारकखेचरेन्द्रे । दृष्टे युते वा तनुपेन जातो भ्रातुर्धनं याति विशेषितांशे

dṛṣṭe yute vittapatau dhanasthe tatra sthite kārakakhecarendre | dṛṣṭe yute vā tanupena jāto bhrāturdhanaṃ yāti viśeṣitāṃśe

When the lord of the 2nd stands in the 2nd, aspected by or conjoined [with the lord of the 3rd], and the kāraka planet stands there too, and it is aspected by or conjoined with the lord of the ascendant, the native gains wealth from a brother — [especially] in a vaiśeṣika division.

पुत्रेशतत्कारकखेचराभ्यां तथाविधे वित्तपतौ बलाढ्ये । दृष्टे युते लग्नपतौ बलाढ्ये वैशेषिकांशे सुततो धनं स्यात्

putreśatatkārakakhecarābhyāṃ tathāvidhe vittapatau balāḍhye | dṛṣṭe yute lagnapatau balāḍhye vaiśeṣikāṃśe sutato dhanaṃ syāt

When the strong lord of the 2nd is likewise [aspected by or joined] with the lord of the 5th and its kāraka planet, and the strong lord of the ascendant is aspected by or joined with them, in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, there is wealth from a son.

वैशेषिकांशे यदि लग्ननाथे जातः स्वपुत्रार्जितमेव वित्तम् । षष्ठेशतत्कारकखेचराभ्यां तथाविधे वित्तपतौ बलाढ्ये

vaiśeṣikāṃśe yadi lagnanāthe jātaḥ svaputrārjitameva vittam | ṣaṣṭheśatatkārakakhecarābhyāṃ tathāvidhe vittapatau balāḍhye

If the lord of the ascendant is in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, the native's wealth is precisely that earned by his own son. And when the strong lord of the 2nd is likewise [connected] with the lord of the 6th and its kāraka planet —

शत्रोः सकाशात्तु धनं प्रयाति वैशेषिके लग्नपतौ बलाढ्ये । कलत्रतत्कारकयोस्तथैव वित्तं कलत्राल्लभते हि जातः

śatroḥ sakāśāttu dhanaṃ prayāti vaiśeṣike lagnapatau balāḍhye | kalatratatkārakayostathaiva vittaṃ kalatrāllabhate hi jātaḥ

When the lord of the ascendant is strong and stands in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, wealth comes to him from an enemy. And in the same way, through the lord of the 7th and its kāraka, the native indeed obtains wealth from his wife.

saumyagrahānvite vā'pi saumyānāmaṃśake yadi | nāthe vā kārake vā'pi bhāve sodaravarddhanam

Or when the lord, the kāraka, or the house is joined with benefic grahas, or falls in the aṃśa of benefics, there is increase of brothers.

सोत्थेश्वरे गोपुरभागयुक्ते सिंहासने कारकखेचरेन्द्रे । सौम्यग्रहे तद्भवनाधिपे स्याद्भ्रात्रादिलाभं कथयन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

sottheśvare gopurabhāgayukte siṃhāsane kārakakhecarendre | saumyagrahe tadbhavanādhipe syādbhrātrādilābhaṃ kathayanti tajjñāḥ

When the lord of the 3rd stands in the gopura division and the kāraka graha in the siṃhāsana division, and the lord of that house is a benefic graha, those who know the subject declare the gain of brothers and the like.

पारावतांशे यदि केन्द्रराशौ भावेश्वरे शोभनखेटयुक्ते । सौम्यांशके सौम्यग्रहे तदीशे सोत्थादिबाहुल्यमुदीरयन्ति

pārāvatāṃśe yadi kendrarāśau bhāveśvare śobhanakheṭayukte | saumyāṃśake saumyagrahe tadīśe sotthādibāhulyamudīrayanti

If the lord of the house stands in the pārāvata aṃśa in a kendra sign and is joined with auspicious grahas, and its own lord is a benefic in a benefic aṃśa, they declare an abundance of brothers and the like.

भ्रातृभावे स्वतुङ्गे वा स्वर्क्षे मूलत्रिकोणगे । बलाढ्ये भावनाथे तु सोदरोत्पत्तिमादिशेत्

bhrātṛbhāve svatuṅge vā svarkṣe mūlatrikoṇage | balāḍhye bhāvanāthe tu sodarotpattimādiśet

When the house of brothers holds [its lord] in its own exaltation, its own sign, or its mūlatrikoṇa, and the lord of the house is full of strength, one should declare the birth of brothers.

मृद्वंशादिसमायुक्ते भावनाथे शुभैर्युते । शुभेक्षिते वा भावेशे सोदरोत्पत्तिमादिशेत्

mṛdvaṃśādisamāyukte bhāvanāthe śubhairyute | śubhekṣite vā bhāveśe sodarotpattimādiśet

When the lord of the house falls in the mṛdu ṣaṣṭyaṃśa and the like and is joined with benefics, or when the lord of the house is aspected by benefics, one should declare the birth of brothers.

वैशेषिकांशे भावेशे ह्यथवा शुभवीक्षिते । मृद्वंशादियुते वाऽपि भ्रातृवर्द्धनमेव तु

vaiśeṣikāṃśe bhāveśe hyathavā śubhavīkṣite | mṛdvaṃśādiyute vā'pi bhrātṛvarddhanameva tu

When the lord of the house stands in a vaiśeṣika aṃśa, or is aspected by benefics, or is joined with the mṛdu ṣaṣṭyaṃśa and the like, there is certainly increase of brothers.

लग्ननाथस्तु सोत्थेशमित्रञ्चेन्मित्रता भवेत् । भ्राता शत्रुर्भवेच्छत्रावेवं सर्वत्र युज्यते

lagnanāthastu sottheśamitrañcenmitratā bhavet | bhrātā śatrurbhavecchatrāvevaṃ sarvatra yujyate

If the lord of the lagna is a friend of the lord of the 3rd, there will be friendship [between the native and his brother]; if the lord of the lagna is an enemy of it, the brother becomes an enemy. This rule holds good everywhere.

अयुग्मभांशे यदि कारकेशौ गुर्वर्कभूसूनुनिरीक्षितौ चेत् । ओजे गृहे स्युर्यदि विक्रमाख्ये पुंभ्रातरस्तस्य वदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

ayugmabhāṃśe yadi kārakeśau gurvarkabhūsūnunirīkṣitau cet | oje gṛhe syuryadi vikramākhye puṃbhrātarastasya vadanti tajjñāḥ

If the kāraka and the lord [of the 3rd] stand in odd signs and odd aṃśas and are aspected by Jupiter, the Sun and Mars, and if they stand in the 3rd (vikrama) in an odd sign, those who know the subject declare that his siblings will be male.

युग्मांशके युग्मगृहे तदीशे भावे तथा कारकखेचरेन्द्रे । सहोदरीलाभमिहाहुरार्या नपुंसकांशे किल तत्तथैव

yugmāṃśake yugmagṛhe tadīśe bhāve tathā kārakakhecarendre | sahodarīlābhamihāhurāryā napuṃsakāṃśe kila tattathaiva

When the lord, the house and the kāraka graha are in even signs and even aṃśas, the wise declare here the gain of sisters; and in a neuter aṃśa it is likewise so.

भ्रातृराश्यंशकवशाद् भ्रातृसंख्यां विनिर्दिशेत् । नाथकारकसंयुक्तराश्यंशाद्वा भवेत्तथा

bhrātṛrāśyaṃśakavaśād bhrātṛsaṃkhyāṃ vinirdiśet | nāthakārakasaṃyuktarāśyaṃśādvā bhavettathā

One should declare the number of brothers according to the sign and aṃśa of the house of brothers; or it may likewise be got from the sign and aṃśa joined with the lord and with the kāraka.

भ्रातृराशिसमायुक्तखेचरस्यांशकाद् वदेत् । सोत्थेशयुक्तराश्यंशात् कारकान्वितभावतः

bhrātṛrāśisamāyuktakhecarasyāṃśakād vadet | sottheśayuktarāśyaṃśāt kārakānvitabhāvataḥ

One should declare it from the aṃśa of the graha joined with the sign of brothers; or from the sign and aṃśa joined with the lord of the 3rd; or from the house joined with the kāraka.

तयोः संयुक्तखेटस्य राश्यंशाद्वा तथा भवेत् । एतयो रश्मिमानाद्वा पापयोगाद्विनाशनम्

tayoḥ saṃyuktakheṭasya rāśyaṃśādvā tathā bhavet | etayo raśmimānādvā pāpayogādvināśanam

Or it may likewise be got from the sign and aṃśa of the graha joined with those two, or from the measure of the rays (raśmi) of these two; and from their conjunction with malefics comes destruction.

संवादे विविधे प्राप्ते तत्कर्मबलतो भवेत् । कारकाद्विक्रमेशाद्वा विक्रान्तस्य विनिर्दिशेत्

saṃvāde vividhe prāpte tatkarmabalato bhavet | kārakādvikrameśādvā vikrāntasya vinirdiśet

When the several indications agree, [the result] follows according to the strength of that karma; and from the kāraka, or from the lord of the 3rd (vikrama), one should declare the native's valour.

शौर्याधिपे तुङ्गयुते बलाढ्ये केन्द्रत्रिकोणे यदि सौम्यदृष्टे । मूलत्रिकोणे स्वगृहेष्टगेहे वैशेषिकांशे पुरुषः स धीरः

śauryādhipe tuṅgayute balāḍhye kendratrikoṇe yadi saumyadṛṣṭe | mūlatrikoṇe svagṛheṣṭagehe vaiśeṣikāṃśe puruṣaḥ sa dhīraḥ

If the lord of the house of valour (the 3rd, śaurya) is in exaltation, strong, in a kendra or a trine, aspected by benefics, in its mūlatrikoṇa, in its own house or in a house it likes, or in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, that man is bold.

धीरो भवेद्विक्रमराशिनाथे सौम्ये गृहांशे शुभखेटयुक्ते । तथैव तत्कारकखेचरेन्द्रे सौम्यग्रहाणां भवने तु शूरः

dhīro bhavedvikramarāśināthe saumye gṛhāṃśe śubhakheṭayukte | tathaiva tatkārakakhecarendre saumyagrahāṇāṃ bhavane tu śūraḥ

A man is bold when the lord of the sign of prowess (the 3rd) is in a benefic's house or navāṃśa and joined with a benefic planet; and likewise, when the planet that is kāraka of that house stands in the house of benefic planets, he is a hero.

धैर्यान्वितो विक्रमराशिनाथसंयुक्तराश्यंशपतौ यदंशे । तदंशनाथे स्वगृहादिवर्गे युद्धे विदग्धः कलहप्रवीणः

dhairyānvito vikramarāśināthasaṃyuktarāśyaṃśapatau yadaṃśe | tadaṃśanāthe svagṛhādivarge yuddhe vidagdhaḥ kalahapravīṇaḥ

If the lord of the navāṃśa of the sign occupied by the lord of the 3rd stands in some aṃśa, and the lord of that aṃśa is in its own house or another good varga, the man is full of steadiness, skilled in battle and adept in dispute.

विक्रमाधिपतौ स्वोच्चे नाशस्थे पापसंयुते । चरभे चरराश्यंशे युद्धात्पूर्वं दृढो भवेत्

vikramādhipatau svocce nāśasthe pāpasaṃyute | carabhe cararāśyaṃśe yuddhātpūrvaṃ dṛḍho bhavet

If the lord of the 3rd, though in its own exaltation, occupies the house of destruction (the 8th) and is joined with malefics, being in a movable sign and a movable navāṃśa, the man is firm only before the fight.

पापग्रहाणां भवने विक्रमे पापसंयुते । तथाविधे तदीशेऽपि युद्धात्पूर्वं दृढो भवेत्

pāpagrahāṇāṃ bhavane vikrame pāpasaṃyute | tathāvidhe tadīśe'pi yuddhātpūrvaṃ dṛḍho bhavet

If the 3rd house falls in the house of malefic planets and is joined with malefics, and its lord too is similarly placed, the man is firm only before the fight.

क्रूरषष्ट्यंशगे वापि तदीशे नीचराशिगे । पापयुक्तेऽथ वा दृष्टे युद्धजाड्यो भवेन्नरः

krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśage vāpi tadīśe nīcarāśige | pāpayukte'tha vā dṛṣṭe yuddhajāḍyo bhavennaraḥ

Or if its lord occupies a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, or a sign of its debilitation, or is joined with or aspected by malefics, the man is dull in battle.

युद्धे पराजितः स्वोच्चे विक्रमेशे विनाशभे । कारके बलहीने वा क्रूरषष्ट्यंशसंयुते

yuddhe parājitaḥ svocce vikrameśe vināśabhe | kārake balahīne vā krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśasaṃyute

He is defeated in battle if the lord of the 3rd, though in its own exaltation, is in the house of ruin (the 8th), or if the kāraka is devoid of strength or joined with a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa.

सिंहासनांशे यदि विक्रमेशे पारावते गोपुरभागयुक्ते । मृद्वंशके वा शुभदृष्टियोगे चित्तोत्सवो युद्धविशारदः स्यात्

siṃhāsanāṃśe yadi vikrameśe pārāvate gopurabhāgayukte | mṛdvaṃśake vā śubhadṛṣṭiyoge cittotsavo yuddhaviśāradaḥ syāt

If the lord of the 3rd is in the siṃhāsana aṃśa, in the pārāvata, or joined with the gopura division, or in a mṛdu aṃśa, with benefic aspect or conjunction, he has gladness of heart and is expert in war.

युद्धाभिलाषी समरप्रवीणो वीर्येश्वरे सौम्ययुते स्वतुङ्गे । वैशेषिकांशे बलपूर्णयुक्ते मृद्वंशगे वा विपरीतमन्यत्

yuddhābhilāṣī samarapravīṇo vīryeśvare saumyayute svatuṅge | vaiśeṣikāṃśe balapūrṇayukte mṛdvaṃśage vā viparītamanyat

He longs for battle and is skilled in war when the lord of prowess is joined with benefics, in its own exaltation, in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa, filled with strength, or in the mṛdu division; otherwise the opposite holds.

शौर्याधिपे भानुयुतेऽत्र धीरश्चन्द्रान्विते मानसधैर्ययुक्तः । कृष्णो जडो भौमयुते प्रकोपी सौम्यान्विते सात्त्विकबुद्धियुक्तः

śauryādhipe bhānuyute'tra dhīraścandrānvite mānasadhairyayuktaḥ | kṛṣṇo jaḍo bhaumayute prakopī saumyānvite sāttvikabuddhiyuktaḥ

If the lord of the 3rd is joined here with the Sun, the man is bold; with the Moon, he is endowed with firmness of mind; with Mars, he is dark of complexion, dull, and quick to rage; with Mercury, he is endowed with sāttvika intelligence.

जीवान्विते धीरतया समेतः सर्वार्थशास्त्रार्थविशारदः स्यात् । कामातुरस्त्वास्फुजिदन्विते स्यात् तन्मूलकोपात् कलहप्रवीणः

jīvānvite dhīratayā sametaḥ sarvārthaśāstrārthaviśāradaḥ syāt | kāmāturastvāsphujidanvite syāt tanmūlakopāt kalahapravīṇaḥ

Joined with Jupiter he is endowed with steadiness and expert in the meaning of all the śāstras; joined with Venus (Āsphujit) he is tormented by desire, and through the anger springing from that he becomes adept in quarrelling.

जडो भवेद्वासरनाथपुत्र युक्ते फणीनामधिपेन युक्ते । बहिर्दृढो हृद्गतजाड्ययुक्तः केत्वन्विते मान्दियुते तथैव

jaḍo bhavedvāsaranāthaputra yukte phaṇīnāmadhipena yukte | bahirdṛḍho hṛdgatajāḍyayuktaḥ ketvanvite māndiyute tathaiva

Joined with Saturn, the son of the lord of the day, he is dull; joined with Rāhu, the lord of serpents, he is firm outwardly but carries dullness within; and it is the same when joined with Ketu or with Māndi.

लग्ने गुरौ विक्रमनाथयुक्ते चतुष्पदानां प्रवदन्ति भीतिम् । गवां भयं वा जलराशिलग्ने जलप्रमादो ब्रुवते ध्रुवं स्यात्

lagne gurau vikramanāthayukte catuṣpadānāṃ pravadanti bhītim | gavāṃ bhayaṃ vā jalarāśilagne jalapramādo bruvate dhruvaṃ syāt

If Jupiter is in the lagna joined with the lord of the 3rd, they declare fear from four-footed animals, or fear from cattle; and if the lagna is a watery sign, they say that danger from water will certainly arise.

वीर्याधिपे राहुसमेतराशीनाथान्विते राहुयुते विलग्ने । सर्पाद्भयं विक्रमराशिनाथे बुधेन युक्ते गलरोगमत्र

vīryādhipe rāhusametarāśīnāthānvite rāhuyute vilagne | sarpādbhayaṃ vikramarāśināthe budhena yukte galarogamatra

If the lord of prowess is joined with the lord of the sign occupied by Rāhu, and Rāhu is in the lagna, there is fear from serpents; and if the lord of the 3rd sign is joined with Mercury, there is disease of the throat.

नीचे तृतीयेऽरिगृहे विमूढे पापेक्षिते तद् गरलप्रमादः । विषप्रयोगाद्विषभक्षणाद्वा तेषामभावेऽत्र विनिश्चयार्थः

nīce tṛtīye'rigṛhe vimūḍhe pāpekṣite tad garalapramādaḥ | viṣaprayogādviṣabhakṣaṇādvā teṣāmabhāve'tra viniścayārthaḥ

If the lord of the 3rd is debilitated, in an enemy's house, combust and aspected by malefics, there is danger from poison — whether by poison administered or by poison eaten. In the absence of these indications the determination is to be made from the rest.

शुक्रे बलाढ्ये यदि वा शशाङ्के सौम्येक्षिते शोभनखेटयुक्ते । सोत्थस्थिते स्वोच्चसुमित्रवर्गे सुपात्र भोक्ता सुख भुक्तिभाक्स्यात्

śukre balāḍhye yadi vā śaśāṅke saumyekṣite śobhanakheṭayukte | sotthasthite svoccasumitravarge supātra bhoktā sukha bhuktibhāksyāt

If Venus is strong, or the Moon, aspected by benefics, joined with auspicious planets, standing in that same house, in its own exaltation or in a friendly varga, the man eats from good vessels and enjoys his food in comfort.

पापे तृतीये गलरोगमत्र वदन्ति मान्द्यादियुते विशेषात् । भौमान्विते प्रेतपुरीषभागे तृतीयराशौ यदि कर्णरोगम्

pāpe tṛtīye galarogamatra vadanti māndyādiyute viśeṣāt | bhaumānvite pretapurīṣabhāge tṛtīyarāśau yadi karṇarogam

If a malefic occupies the third house they declare disease of the throat, and especially so if it is joined with Māndi and the like; and if the third sign is joined with Mars and falls in the preta-purīṣa ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, there is disease of the ear.

सोत्थे शनौ मान्दियुते तथैव वाताद्भयं सौम्यदृशा विहीने । तृतीयनाथस्थितराशिनाथसंयुक्तराश्यंशपतौ च केन्द्रे

sotthe śanau māndiyute tathaiva vātādbhayaṃ saumyadṛśā vihīne | tṛtīyanāthasthitarāśināthasaṃyuktarāśyaṃśapatau ca kendre

Likewise, when Saturn stands in that same house joined with Māndi and without benefic aspect, there is fear from disorders of wind. And when the lord of the navāṃśa of the sign occupied by the lord of the sign in which the lord of the 3rd stands is in a kendra —

पापान्विते पापनिरीक्षिते वा वदन्ति कर्णोद्भवरोगमत्र । क्रूरादिषष्ट्यंशयुते तदीशे कर्णस्य रोगं कथयन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

pāpānvite pāpanirīkṣite vā vadanti karṇodbhavarogamatra | krūrādiṣaṣṭyaṃśayute tadīśe karṇasya rogaṃ kathayanti tajjñāḥ

— joined with malefics or aspected by malefics, they declare here a disease arising in the ear; and if its lord is joined with a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, those who know the subject declare disease of the ear.

सौम्ययुक्ते तृतीये वा सौम्यखेचरवीक्षिते । तदीशे शुभसंयुक्ते कर्णयोर्भूषणं वदेत्

saumyayukte tṛtīye vā saumyakhecaravīkṣite | tadīśe śubhasaṃyukte karṇayorbhūṣaṇaṃ vadet

If the third house is joined with benefic planets or aspected by benefic planets, and its lord too is joined with benefics, one should predict ornaments in the ears.

शुक्रे तृतीये यदि मौक्तिकं तु जैवेऽतुलं त्वाभरणं वदन्ति । भानोस्तु सम्बन्धयुते तृतीये सद्रत्नमानीलमयं हि मान्द्ये

śukre tṛtīye yadi mauktikaṃ tu jaive'tulaṃ tvābharaṇaṃ vadanti | bhānostu sambandhayute tṛtīye sadratnamānīlamayaṃ hi māndye

If Venus is in the third, the ornament is of pearl; if Jupiter, they declare it beyond compare; if the third stands in relation with the Sun, it is a fine gem; and with Māndi it is made of sapphire.

चन्द्रे बहुत्वाभरणं तु सौम्ये श्यामं भवेत्तत्क्षितिसूनुराशौ । विचित्रमार्गाभरणं तथैव पापेक्षिते तल्लयमाहुरार्याः

candre bahutvābharaṇaṃ tu saumye śyāmaṃ bhavettatkṣitisūnurāśau | vicitramārgābharaṇaṃ tathaiva pāpekṣite tallayamāhurāryāḥ

With the Moon, ornaments in abundance; with Mercury, the ornament is dark; in the sign of Mars, it is of strange and varied fashion; and likewise, when aspected by malefics, the wise say it is lost.

शुभग्रहाणां भवने तु तस्मिन् तृतीयराशौ श्रवणं कथानाम् । पुण्यादिकानां यदि पापराशौ क्रूरश्च तत्कर्णकुठारमाहुः

śubhagrahāṇāṃ bhavane tu tasmin tṛtīyarāśau śravaṇaṃ kathānām | puṇyādikānāṃ yadi pāparāśau krūraśca tatkarṇakuṭhāramāhuḥ

But if that third sign falls in the house of benefic planets, there is the hearing of holy stories and the like; if it falls in a malefic's sign and a cruel planet stands there, they call it an axe to his ear.

बन्धुभवने बन्धून् गृहमातृजलात्मवृद्धिभोज्यादीन् । वाहनहृदयस्कन्धासनशयनसुखान्यधो जलं ब्रूयात्

bandhubhavane bandhūn gṛhamātṛjalātmavṛddhibhojyādīn | vāhanahṛdayaskandhāsanaśayanasukhānyadho jalaṃ brūyāt

From the house of kinsmen (the 4th) one should declare kinsmen, house, mother, water, the growth of one's own person, food and the like; also vehicles, the heart, the shoulder, seat, bed and comforts, and water lying below the ground.

लग्नेश्वरे लग्नगते सुखाङ्गनाथेन युक्ते यदि गेहलाभः । अयत्नतः स्याच्छुभदृष्टियोगात् स्वोच्चे स्वमित्रे स्वगृहे बलाढ्ये

lagneśvare lagnagate sukhāṅganāthena yukte yadi gehalābhaḥ | ayatnataḥ syācchubhadṛṣṭiyogāt svocce svamitre svagṛhe balāḍhye

If the lord of the lagna is in the lagna joined with the lord of the 4th, the house of comforts, there is gain of a house; and it comes without effort when there is benefic aspect or conjunction and they are in exaltation, in a friend's sign, in their own house, and strong.

गेहाधिपे केन्द्रगते बलाढ्ये सौम्येक्षिते मन्दिरलाभमाहुः । वैशेषिकांशे परमोच्चभागे गेहेश्वरे मन्दिरलाभमाहुः

gehādhipe kendragate balāḍhye saumyekṣite mandiralābhamāhuḥ | vaiśeṣikāṃśe paramoccabhāge geheśvare mandiralābhamāhuḥ

If the lord of the 4th is in a kendra, strong and aspected by benefics, they declare the gain of a dwelling; and if the lord of the 4th is in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa or in the division of deep exaltation, they again declare the gain of a dwelling.

गृहस्थानाधिपस्यांशनाथसंयुक्तराशिपः । तदंशाधिपतौ केन्द्रे गृहलाभमुदीरयेत्

gṛhasthānādhipasyāṃśanāthasaṃyuktarāśipaḥ | tadaṃśādhipatau kendre gṛhalābhamudīrayet

If the lord of the sign occupied by the lord of the navāṃśa of the lord of the house-place (the 4th), and the lord of that aṃśa, stand in a kendra, one should declare the gain of a house.

भाग्येशे केन्द्रभावस्थे गृहेशे स्वोच्चमित्रगे । गृहराशिगते खेटे स्वोच्चे बहुविचित्रकम्

bhāgyeśe kendrabhāvasthe gṛheśe svoccamitrage | gṛharāśigate kheṭe svocce bahuvicitrakam

If the lord of the 9th is in a kendra, the lord of the 4th is in its exaltation or a friend's sign, and a planet occupying the 4th sign is in its own exaltation, the house is large and full of variety.

तृतीये सौम्यसंयुक्ते गृहेशे स्वबलान्विते । तदीशे बलसम्पूर्णे हर्म्यप्राकारमण्डितम्

tṛtīye saumyasaṃyukte gṛheśe svabalānvite | tadīśe balasampūrṇe harmyaprākāramaṇḍitam

If the third is joined with benefics, the lord of the 4th possesses its own strength, and the lord of that sign is full of strength, the house is adorned with a mansion and an encircling wall.

सिंहासनांशके वापि गृहेशे गोपुरांशके । मृद्वंशादियुते वापि तद्गृहं सौधमण्डितम्

siṃhāsanāṃśake vāpi gṛheśe gopurāṃśake | mṛdvaṃśādiyute vāpi tadgṛhaṃ saudhamaṇḍitam

Or if the lord of the 4th is in the siṃhāsana aṃśa, or in the gopura aṃśa, or joined with the mṛdu aṃśa and the like, that house is adorned with a fine white mansion.

पारावतांशके गेहनाथे गुर्विन्दुवीक्षिते । गोपुराद्यंशके वापि दैविकं हर्म्यमादिशेत्

pārāvatāṃśake gehanāthe gurvinduvīkṣite | gopurādyaṃśake vāpi daivikaṃ harmyamādiśet

When the lord of the fourth (the house of dwellings) stands in the pārāvata division and is aspected by Jupiter and the Moon, or stands in the gopura and similar divisions, one should declare a mansion fit for the gods.

कर्माधिपेन सहिते नाथे केन्द्रेऽर्कसूनुना । विचित्रसौधप्राकारमण्डितं गृहमादिशेत्

karmādhipena sahite nāthe kendre'rkasūnunā | vicitrasaudhaprākāramaṇḍitaṃ gṛhamādiśet

When that lord stands in a kendra together with the lord of the tenth and with Saturn (the Sun's son), one should declare a house adorned with splendid mansions and ramparts.

गेहाधिपे नाशगते यदि स्यात् पापेक्षिते तद्गृहनाशमत्र । गेहेशसंयुक्तनवांशनाथे नाशस्थिते स्यादपि गेहनाशः

gehādhipe nāśagate yadi syāt pāpekṣite tadgṛhanāśamatra | geheśasaṃyuktanavāṃśanāthe nāśasthite syādapi gehanāśaḥ

If the lord of the fourth stands in the eighth, the house of destruction, and is aspected by malefics, the destruction of that house is to be declared. And if the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the fourth stands in the eighth, there is likewise destruction of the house.

बन्धुस्थानस्थिते सौम्ये सौम्यग्रहनिरीक्षिते । तत्कारकबलाढ्ये वा बन्धुपूज्यो भवेन्नरः

bandhusthānasthite saumye saumyagrahanirīkṣite | tatkārakabalāḍhye vā bandhupūjyo bhavennaraḥ

When a benefic occupies the bandhu-sthāna (the fourth) and is aspected by benefic planets, or when that house is strong in its kāraka, the man is honoured by his kinsmen.

बन्धुस्थानगते जीवे तदीशे शुभसंयुते । गुरुदृष्टिसमायुक्ते बन्धुश्रेष्ठो भवेन्नरः

bandhusthānagate jīve tadīśe śubhasaṃyute | gurudṛṣṭisamāyukte bandhuśreṣṭho bhavennaraḥ

When Jupiter occupies the fourth house, its lord is joined with benefics, and it receives Jupiter's aspect, the man becomes the foremost among his kinsmen.

बन्धूपकर्त्ता तन्नाथे केन्द्रे कोणेऽथ संयुते । वैशेषिकांशसंयुक्ते पापदृग्योगवर्जिते

bandhūpakarttā tannāthe kendre koṇe'tha saṃyute | vaiśeṣikāṃśasaṃyukte pāpadṛgyogavarjite

He is a benefactor of his kinsmen when the lord of the fourth stands in a kendra or a trine and is joined with benefics, is in a vaiśeṣika division, and is free from the aspect and conjunction of malefics.

बन्धूनामुपकारी स्याद्बन्धौ गुर्वच्छसोमजाः । तेषां गृहे वा तैर्दृष्टे मृद्वंशादिसमन्विते

bandhūnāmupakārī syādbandhau gurvacchasomajāḥ | teṣāṃ gṛhe vā tairdṛṣṭe mṛdvaṃśādisamanvite

He is helpful to his kinsmen when Jupiter and Mercury, the son of Soma, occupy the fourth, or their own houses, or are aspected by them, and are joined with the Mṛdu and similar divisions.

बन्धुभिस्त्यक्तपुरुषस्तदीशे पापसंयुते । क्रूरषष्ट्यंशके वापि नीचारातिगृहेऽपि वा

bandhubhistyaktapuruṣastadīśe pāpasaṃyute | krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśake vāpi nīcārātigṛhe'pi vā

The man is cast off by his kinsmen when the lord of the fourth is joined with malefics, or stands in a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, or in its debilitation or an enemy's house.

बहुपापसमायुक्ते बन्धौ नाथे तथैव हि । तत्कारके तथैवात्र बन्धूनां कुत्सितं वदेत्

bahupāpasamāyukte bandhau nāthe tathaiva hi | tatkārake tathaivātra bandhūnāṃ kutsitaṃ vadet

When the fourth house is joined with many malefics, and so likewise its lord and its kāraka, one should here declare something contemptible about his kinsmen.

नाथकारकसंयुक्तनवांशेशांशनायकः । नीचराशिगतो मूढो बन्धूनां भयकर्मकृत्

nāthakārakasaṃyuktanavāṃśeśāṃśanāyakaḥ | nīcarāśigato mūḍho bandhūnāṃ bhayakarmakṛt

If the lord of the division of the navāṃśa-lord that is joined with the lord of the fourth and its kāraka stands in its debilitation sign and is combust, the man does deeds that bring fear upon his kinsmen.

बन्धूपभोगी केन्द्रस्थे तदीशे शुभवीक्षिते । गोपुराद्यंशके वापि मृद्वंशादि समन्विते

bandhūpabhogī kendrasthe tadīśe śubhavīkṣite | gopurādyaṃśake vāpi mṛdvaṃśādi samanvite

He enjoys the property of his kinsmen when the lord of the fourth stands in a kendra and is aspected by benefics, or is in the gopura and similar divisions, or is joined with the Mṛdu and other divisions.

धने लाभे त्रिकोणस्थे तन्नाथे शुभवीक्षिते । सौम्यग्रहाणामंशे वा बन्धूनामुपकारकृत्

dhane lābhe trikoṇasthe tannāthe śubhavīkṣite | saumyagrahāṇāmaṃśe vā bandhūnāmupakārakṛt

When the lord of the fourth stands in the second, the eleventh or a trine and is aspected by benefics, or is placed in the division of a benefic planet, he does good to his kinsmen.

बन्धुद्वेषी भवेन्नित्यं पापाक्रान्ते ग्रहे यदा । नीचास्तखेटसंयुक्ते शुभदृग्योगवर्जिते

bandhudveṣī bhavennityaṃ pāpākrānte grahe yadā | nīcāstakheṭasaṃyukte śubhadṛgyogavarjite

He is constantly hostile to his kinsmen when that planet is beset by malefics, joined with debilitated or combust planets, and devoid of benefic aspect and conjunction.

कस्मिंश्चित् खेचरेन्द्रे वा बन्धौ स्वोच्चे स्वमित्रभे । गुरुणा दृष्टिसम्पाते बन्धुपूज्यो भवेन्नरः

kasmiṃścit khecarendre vā bandhau svocce svamitrabhe | guruṇā dṛṣṭisampāte bandhupūjyo bhavennaraḥ

If any of the chief planets, or the lord of the fourth, stands in its own exaltation or in a friend's sign and receives the aspect of Jupiter, the man is honoured by his kinsmen.

गृहस्थाने चरे लग्ने तदीशे चरराशिगे । तथैव तत्कारकेऽपि बहुस्थाने गृहं भवेत्

gṛhasthāne care lagne tadīśe cararāśige | tathaiva tatkārake'pi bahusthāne gṛhaṃ bhavet

If the fourth sign and the lagna are movable, and its lord is in a movable sign, and its kāraka likewise, the man has houses in many places.

स्थिरे गृहे स्थिरगृहं नाथकारकयोरपि । षष्ट्यंशे शुभभागे वा तदीशे स्थैर्यतां व्रजेत्

sthire gṛhe sthiragṛhaṃ nāthakārakayorapi | ṣaṣṭyaṃśe śubhabhāge vā tadīśe sthairyatāṃ vrajet

If the fourth is a fixed sign, and its lord and its kāraka are likewise placed, the house is a fixed one; and when its lord is in a ṣaṣṭyaṃśa or in the division of a benefic, it attains permanence.

अर्थव्ययगृहेशैस्तैर्यावन्तः पापसंयुताः । तावद् गेहादिनाशः स्याच्छुभदृष्टा न दोषदाः

arthavyayagṛheśaistairyāvantaḥ pāpasaṃyutāḥ | tāvad gehādināśaḥ syācchubhadṛṣṭā na doṣadāḥ

By as many planets as are joined with malefics along with the lords of the second and twelfth houses, so much destruction of house and the rest results; but those aspected by benefics do no harm.

अर्थव्ययगृहेशास्तु केन्द्रकोणादिसंयुताः । तावद् गेहालयं सर्वशोभनं तत्र निर्दिशेत्

arthavyayagṛheśāstu kendrakoṇādisaṃyutāḥ | tāvad gehālayaṃ sarvaśobhanaṃ tatra nirdiśet

But when the lords of the second and twelfth houses are joined with kendras and trines and the like, one should declare the dwelling there to be beautiful in every way.

गृहेशे कर्मराशिस्थे कर्मेशे गेहमागते । बलयुक्ते धरासूनौ बहुक्षेत्रं विनिर्दिशेत्

gṛheśe karmarāśisthe karmeśe gehamāgate | balayukte dharāsūnau bahukṣetraṃ vinirdiśet

When the lord of the fourth stands in the tenth sign and the lord of the tenth has come to the fourth, and Mars (the son of the earth) is endowed with strength, one should declare many fields.

balāḍhye karmarāśīśe bandhusthānādhipe tathā | tayormaitrī yadā tasya bahukṣetraṃ vinirdiśet

When the lord of the tenth is strong and so also the lord of the fourth, and there is friendship between the two, one should declare much land for him.

क्षेत्रस्थाने शुभैर्युक्ते तदीशे शुभसंयुते । तत्कारके तथा प्राप्ते बहुक्षेत्रधनैर्युतः

kṣetrasthāne śubhairyukte tadīśe śubhasaṃyute | tatkārake tathā prāpte bahukṣetradhanairyutaḥ

When the house of lands is joined with benefics, its lord joined with benefics, and its kāraka similarly placed, the man is possessed of many fields and much wealth.

क्षेत्राधिपे पञ्चमस्थे गोपुरांशादिसंयुते । मृद्वंशादिगते वापि बहुक्षेत्रसमन्वितः

When the lord of the house of lands stands in the fifth and is joined with the gopura and other divisions, or is in the Mṛdu and similar divisions, he is endowed with many fields.

When the house of lands is joined with the kāraka of brothers and with the lord of the third, or its lord is so joined, one should declare land coming from a brother.

When the lord of the navāṃśa joined with the lord of the house of lands stands in a kendra or is aspected by a friend, and is joined with Mars or aspected by Mars, they declare wealth and land from a brother.

ṣaṣṭheśvare kṣetragate balāḍhye ṣaṣṭhasthite vā gṛhabhāvanāthe | ṣaṣṭheśvarātkṣetragate balāḍhye śatroḥ sakāśātsa dharāmupaiti

When the lord of the sixth stands in the house of lands and is strong, or the lord of that house stands in the sixth, or a strong planet stands in the fourth from the lord of the sixth, he obtains land from an enemy.

पारावतांशे स्वगृहे बलाढ्ये क्षेत्रेश्वरे चोपचयं गते वा । आरोहभागे शुभदृष्टियुक्ते क्षेत्रस्य बाहुल्यमुदाहरन्ति

पापान्तरस्थे यदि भूमिपुत्रे पापान्विते पापनिरीक्षिते वा । पापग्रहक्षेत्रगतेऽथ वा स्यात् क्रूरांशके भूमिविनाशमाहुः

pāpāntarasthe yadi bhūmiputre pāpānvite pāpanirīkṣite vā | pāpagrahakṣetragate'tha vā syāt krūrāṃśake bhūmivināśamāhuḥ

क्षेत्रेश्वरे पापयुते धनस्थे नीचारिभे क्षेत्रविनाशमेति । स्वोच्चस्थिते तद्भवनेश्वरे तु पापान्विते विक्रयमेति भूमेः

kṣetreśvare pāpayute dhanasthe nīcāribhe kṣetravināśameti | svoccasthite tadbhavaneśvare tu pāpānvite vikrayameti bhūmeḥ

When the lord of the 4th (kṣetreśvara) is joined with malefics and placed in the 2nd, or in debilitation or an enemy's sign, destruction of land follows; but when it stands in its own exaltation while the lord of that house is joined with malefics, the land is sold instead.

आज्ञाक्षयात्क्षेत्रविनाशमाहुराज्येश्वरे क्षेत्रगते सपापे । क्रूरांशके मृत्युयमादिभागे कर्मेश्वरेणापि युते तथैव

आज्ञाक्षयाद्भूमिविनाशमेति राज्येशतत्कारक भूमिनाथे । क्रूरांशके वा त्ववरोहभागे नाशस्थिते मृत्युयमादिभागे

Loss of land through the withdrawal of authority likewise follows when the lord of the kingdom, its kāraka, and the lord of the land (the 4th lord) stand in a cruel navāṃśa, or in a descending (avaroha) division, or in the house of ruin, or in the mṛtyu and yama divisions.

राजाज्ञया क्षेत्रविनाशमेति भानौ तदीशेन युतेऽपि निम्ने । धनेशसंयुक्तनवांशनाथयुक्तांशपेनापि युते सपापे

rājājñayā kṣetravināśameti bhānau tadīśena yute'pi nimne | dhaneśasaṃyuktanavāṃśanāthayuktāṃśapenāpi yute sapāpe

Loss of land by royal decree comes about when the Sun, joined with the lord of that house, is in debilitation, and also when it is joined, along with malefics, with the lord of the division occupied by the lord of the navāṃśa that is joined with the lord of wealth.

जीवे बलाढ्ये सुखराशिनाथयुक्ते ससौम्ये तु चतुष्टये वा । जीवेन दृष्टे यदि वा तदीशे मृद्वंशके वा सुखभाङ्नरः स्यात्

jīve balāḍhye sukharāśināthayukte sasaumye tu catuṣṭaye vā | jīvena dṛṣṭe yadi vā tadīśe mṛdvaṃśake vā sukhabhāṅnaraḥ syāt

When Jupiter is strong and joined with the lord of the sign of the 4th (sukha), or is in a kendra together with benefics; or when the lord of the 4th is aspected by Jupiter or stands in a mṛdu division — the man enjoys domestic happiness.

jīvena dṛṣṭe yadi vā tadīśe ramye gurau śobhanakhecare vā | saumyāntare tadbhavane sasaumye sukhī bhavet sarvajaneṣu mukhyaḥ

Or when the lord of that house is aspected by Jupiter, when Jupiter or another auspicious planet is well placed, and when that house is hemmed between benefics and joined with benefics, he becomes happy and foremost among all people.

gopurādyaṃśake vāpi sukhape devapūjite | dhanāyavṛddhibhāveṣu tasmin kheṭe sukhī bhavet

Or when the lord of the 4th stands in a gopura or similar division, and Jupiter (deva-pūjita) occupies the houses of wealth, of gain, or of vṛddhi — with that planet so placed, the native is happy.

सौम्येतरान्विते सौख्ये बलहीने गुरावपि । सपापे दुर्बले नाथे दुःखी स्यादर्थसंयुतः

saumyetarānvite saukhye balahīne gurāvapi | sapāpe durbale nāthe duḥkhī syādarthasaṃyutaḥ

When the 4th house is joined with planets other than benefics, when Jupiter too is bereft of strength, and when its lord is with malefics and weak, the native is unhappy even though possessed of wealth.

पुत्रार्थबन्धुयुक्तश्चेद्दुःखी स्यान्नीचखेचरे । सुखी तदीशे पापेन युक्ते क्रूरांशसंयुते

putrārthabandhuyuktaścedduḥkhī syānnīcakhecare | sukhī tadīśe pāpena yukte krūrāṃśasaṃyute

Though endowed with sons, wealth and kinsmen, he is unhappy when the planet stands in debilitation; and so too when the lord of the 4th (sukha) is joined with a malefic and placed in a cruel navāṃśa.

रव्यारयुक्ते सुखभावनाथे क्रूरांशके सौम्यदृशा विहीने । आरोहभागेतरभागयुक्ते जातो नरो दुःखित एव नित्यम्

ravyārayukte sukhabhāvanāthe krūrāṃśake saumyadṛśā vihīne | ārohabhāgetarabhāgayukte jāto naro duḥkhita eva nityam

When the lord of the 4th is joined with the Sun and Mars, stands in a cruel navāṃśa, is deprived of benefic aspect, and occupies a division other than an ascending (āroha) one, the man born is unhappy without respite.

नीचारिभागे रविभूमिपुत्रे सुखस्थिते पापदृशा समेते । क्रूरांशके तद्भवनाधिनाथे गृहार्थहीनो भवति प्रमादात्

nīcāribhāge ravibhūmiputre sukhasthite pāpadṛśā samete | krūrāṃśake tadbhavanādhināthe gṛhārthahīno bhavati pramādāt

When the Sun and Mars stand in the 4th in a division of debilitation or of an enemy and are aspected by malefics, and the lord of that house is in a cruel navāṃśa, he loses house and wealth through his own carelessness.

पापान्विते पापनिरीक्षिते वा पापान्तरे वा सुखभे तदीशे । क्रूरो हि षष्ट्यंशसमन्विते वा पापी नरः स्याच्छुभदृष्टियुक्ते

pāpānvite pāpanirīkṣite vā pāpāntare vā sukhabhe tadīśe | krūro hi ṣaṣṭyaṃśasamanvite vā pāpī naraḥ syācchubhadṛṣṭiyukte

When the 4th house and its lord are joined with malefics, or aspected by malefics, or hemmed between malefics, or placed in a krūra ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, the man becomes sinful; where there is benefic aspect the fault is lessened.

पापाधिकत्वे सुखराशियुक्ते तदीश्वरे चारिविमूढयाते । पापान्विते वा यमसूनुयुक्ते जातो बहुत्वं समुपैति पापम्

pāpādhikatve sukharāśiyukte tadīśvare cārivimūḍhayāte | pāpānvite vā yamasūnuyukte jāto bahutvaṃ samupaiti pāpam

When malefics predominate and are joined with the sign of the 4th, and its lord is in an enemy's sign or is combust and confounded, or is joined with malefics or with Saturn (yama-sūnu), the native accumulates much sin.

शुक्रेन्दुविद्देवपुरोहितानां क्षेत्रे सुखे पूर्णबलान्वितानाम् । शुभान्विते शोभनदृष्टिपाते जातो नरोऽयं भुवि भुक्तिभाक्स्यात्

śukrenduviddevapurohitānāṃ kṣetre sukhe pūrṇabalānvitānām | śubhānvite śobhanadṛṣṭipāte jāto naro'yaṃ bhuvi bhuktibhāksyāt

When the 4th house belongs to Venus, the Moon, Mercury or Jupiter (the preceptor of the gods), these being in full strength, and it is joined with benefics and receives auspicious aspects, the man born enjoys the good things of the earth.

बुधदृष्टे सिते सौख्ये सौम्यमध्यगतेऽपि वा । गोपुराद्यंशके वापि पुण्यभाक् स नरो भवेत्

budhadṛṣṭe site saukhye saumyamadhyagate'pi vā | gopurādyaṃśake vāpi puṇyabhāk sa naro bhavet

When Venus, aspected by Mercury, stands in the 4th, or lies between benefics, or occupies a gopura or similar division, that man becomes possessed of merit.

नीचान्विते मौढ्ययुते सुखस्थे सपत्नभे वा जलराशिसंज्ञे । तदीश्वरे हीनबले तदानीं पतत्यसौ कूपतटाम्बुराशौ

nīcānvite mauḍhyayute sukhasthe sapatnabhe vā jalarāśisaṃjñe | tadīśvare hīnabale tadānīṃ patatyasau kūpataṭāmburāśau

When a debilitated or combust planet occupies the 4th, in an enemy's sign or in a sign called watery, and the lord of the 4th is of poor strength, then the native falls into a well, a river-bank or a body of water.

लग्नेश्वरे हीनबले सुखस्थे नीचेऽर्कयुक्ते यदि वा सपापे । जलग्रहेणापि युते सुखेशे बलेन हीने जलराशिमग्नः

lagneśvare hīnabale sukhasthe nīce'rkayukte yadi vā sapāpe | jalagraheṇāpi yute sukheśe balena hīne jalarāśimagnaḥ

When the lord of the lagna is weak and stands in the 4th, debilitated, joined with the Sun or with malefics, and the lord of the 4th, joined also with a watery planet, is bereft of strength, he is drowned in water.

सरित्स्थानाधिपे लग्ननाथेन सहिते सुखे । कर्माधिपेन सन्दृष्टे नदीकूपतटादिषु

When the lord of the place of rivers (sarit-sthāna) is joined with the lord of the lagna in the 4th and is aspected by the lord of the 10th, there is a fall into rivers, wells, banks and the like —

patanaṃ kūpanadyādau sukheśasthānarāśipaḥ | saritsthāneśasandṛṣṭe yadi vā sukhapena yuk

— a fall into a well or a river also when the lord of the sign occupied by the lord of the 4th is aspected by the lord of the place of rivers, or is joined with the lord of the 4th.

शिलाप्रहारस्तस्य स्याद् रविभौमान्विते सुखे । दृष्टे युते कर्मपेन सरित्स्थानाधिपेन वा

सुखेशे राहुमन्दाभ्यां सहिते कुजवीक्षिते । शुभदृष्टिविहीने तु शिलाभिः पीडितो नरः

sukheśe rāhumandābhyāṃ sahite kujavīkṣite | śubhadṛṣṭivihīne tu śilābhiḥ pīḍito naraḥ

When the lord of the 4th is joined with Rāhu and Saturn, aspected by Mars, and devoid of any benefic aspect, the man is hurt by stones.

केन्द्रस्थिते रात्रिकरे भृगौ वा पापान्विते पापनिरीक्षिते वा । क्रूरांशके वा त्ववरोहभागे सोऽयं जनन्या सह सङ्गमेति

kendrasthite rātrikare bhṛgau vā pāpānvite pāpanirīkṣite vā | krūrāṃśake vā tvavarohabhāge so'yaṃ jananyā saha saṅgameti

When the Moon (rātrikara) or Venus stands in a kendra, joined with malefics or aspected by malefics, and is in a cruel navāṃśa or in a descending (avaroha) division, this man consorts with his own mother.

पापेक्षिते पापयुते शशाङ्के दिवाकरे वा यदि केन्द्रराशौ । क्रूरे सुखे वा यदि पापदृष्टे जातो नरः स्यादिह मातृगामी

pāpekṣite pāpayute śaśāṅke divākare vā yadi kendrarāśau | krūre sukhe vā yadi pāpadṛṣṭe jāto naraḥ syādiha mātṛgāmī

If the Moon or the Sun, aspected by malefics and joined with malefics, stands in a kendra sign; or if a malefic occupies the 4th and is aspected by malefics — the man born goes to his mother.

पापेक्षिते वा सुखभावनाथे पापान्विते सौम्यदृशा विहीने । दारेश्वराल्लग्नपतौ विहीने जातो नरो मातृसमानगामी

pāpekṣite vā sukhabhāvanāthe pāpānvite saumyadṛśā vihīne | dāreśvarāllagnapatau vihīne jāto naro mātṛsamānagāmī

When the lord of the 4th is aspected by malefics, joined with malefics and devoid of benefic aspect, and the lord of the lagna is weak in relation to the lord of the 7th (dāreśvara), the man born goes to a woman who stands to him as a mother.

सहोदरी सङ्गममाहुरन्ये दारेश्वरे क्रूरयुते सुखस्थे । पापेक्षिते पापसमानमेव क्रूरादिषष्ट्यंशसमन्विते वा

sahodarī saṅgamamāhuranye dāreśvare krūrayute sukhasthe | pāpekṣite pāpasamānameva krūrādiṣaṣṭyaṃśasamanvite vā

Others declare union with a sister when the lord of the 7th, joined with a malefic, stands in the 4th, is aspected by malefics, or is placed in a krūra or similar ṣaṣṭyaṃśa; the sin is reckoned equal to the former.

सुखे शनौ पापनिरीक्षिते वा पापान्विते तादृशपापयुक्तः । पापग्रहाणां भवने सुखे तु क्रूरादिषष्ट्यंशयुते तथैव

sukhe śanau pāpanirīkṣite vā pāpānvite tādṛśapāpayuktaḥ | pāpagrahāṇāṃ bhavane sukhe tu krūrādiṣaṣṭyaṃśayute tathaiva

सुखेश्वरे राहुयुते सपापे शनैश्चरेणापि दिवाकरेण । मातान्यसक्ता सुखराशिनाथसंयुक्तभागाधिपतौ तथैव

sukheśvare rāhuyute sapāpe śanaiścareṇāpi divākareṇa | mātānyasaktā sukharāśināthasaṃyuktabhāgādhipatau tathaiva

If the lord of the 4th is joined with Rāhu and with malefics, or with Saturn or with the Sun, the mother is attached to another man; and the same holds when the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 4th is so joined.

सुखेश्वरे लग्नगते बलाढ्ये गुर्विन्दुसौम्यास्फुजिदर्कदृष्टे । वैशेषिकांशे शुभदृष्टियुक्ते पतिव्रता तस्य भवेत्सवित्री

sukheśvare lagnagate balāḍhye gurvindusaumyāsphujidarkadṛṣṭe | vaiśeṣikāṃśe śubhadṛṣṭiyukte pativratā tasya bhavetsavitrī

If the lord of the 4th, endowed with strength, stands in the lagna, aspected by Jupiter, the Moon, Mercury, Venus or the Sun, and occupies a vaiśeṣikāṃśa with benefic aspect, then his mother is devoted to her husband.

तथाविधे शीतकरे सराहुकेतौ सवित्री यदि नीचसक्ता । मन्देन युक्ते सति शूद्रसक्ता वैश्येन सक्ता शशिसूनुयुक्ते

tathāvidhe śītakare sarāhuketau savitrī yadi nīcasaktā | mandena yukte sati śūdrasaktā vaiśyena saktā śaśisūnuyukte

If the Moon, in the same condition, is with Rāhu and Ketu, the mother is attached to a low-born man; if she is joined with Saturn, to a śūdra; and if joined with Mercury, to a vaiśya.

रव्यन्विते क्षत्रियजातिसक्ता शुक्रेज्ययुक्ते द्विजपुङ्गवैश्च । धरासुतेनापि तथाविधेन वक्तुं फलं तादृशमेव सत्यम्

ravyanvite kṣatriyajātisaktā śukrejyayukte dvijapuṅgavaiśca | dharāsutenāpi tathāvidhena vaktuṃ phalaṃ tādṛśameva satyam

If joined with the Sun, she is attached to a man of the kṣatriya class; if with Venus or Jupiter, to eminent brāhmaṇas; and with Mars in the same condition, the result to be declared is truly of that same kind.

षष्ठेश्वरेण सहिते सुखराशिनाथे भाग्यस्थिते जनकमत्र विशं करोति । भाग्याधिपेन सहिते यदि मातृनाथे सौख्यस्थिते जनकमत्र विशं करोति

ṣaṣṭheśvareṇa sahite sukharāśināthe bhāgyasthite janakamatra viśaṃ karoti | bhāgyādhipena sahite yadi mātṛnāthe saukhyasthite janakamatra viśaṃ karoti

If the lord of the 4th, joined with the lord of the 6th, stands in the 9th, it makes the father a man of the vaiśya class; and if the lord of the 4th, joined with the lord of the 9th, stands in the 4th itself, it likewise makes the father a vaiśya.

लग्नेशभाग्येशसुखेशयुक्ते षष्ठाधिपे स्यात्परजात एव । तदंशनाथेन युते तदीशे पापेक्षितः स्यात्परजात एव

lagneśabhāgyeśasukheśayukte ṣaṣṭhādhipe syātparajāta eva | tadaṃśanāthena yute tadīśe pāpekṣitaḥ syātparajāta eva

If the lord of the 6th is joined with the lords of the lagna, the 9th and the 4th, the native is born of another man; and if the lord of the 4th is joined with the lord of its own navāṃśa and is aspected by malefics, he too is born of another.

पापान्तरे मातृगृहे तदीशे तत्कारके वा शुभदृष्टियुक्ते । लग्नेश्वराद् हीनबले शुभेशे जातस्तदानीं परजात एव

pāpāntare mātṛgṛhe tadīśe tatkārake vā śubhadṛṣṭiyukte | lagneśvarād hīnabale śubheśe jātastadānīṃ parajāta eva

If the 4th house, or its lord, or its kāraka stands hemmed in between malefics — even when it carries a benefic aspect — and the lord of the 4th is weaker than the lord of the lagna, then the child born at that moment is born of another man.

न वीक्ष्यते तद्गुरुणा विलग्नं निशाकरो वा गुरुणा न दृष्टः । दिवाकरेणापि युते शशाङ्के सपापचन्द्रे रविणा तथैव

na vīkṣyate tadguruṇā vilagnaṃ niśākaro vā guruṇā na dṛṣṭaḥ | divākareṇāpi yute śaśāṅke sapāpacandre raviṇā tathaiva

When the lagna is not aspected by Jupiter, or the Moon is not aspected by Jupiter; when the Moon is joined with the Sun; and likewise when the Moon, afflicted by malefics, stands with the Sun —

पापे शुभे मातृगृहे सपापे लग्नेश्वरे हीनबले सपापे । परांशकादौ सुखभे तदानीं जातो नरः स्यात्परजात एव

pāpe śubhe mātṛgṛhe sapāpe lagneśvare hīnabale sapāpe | parāṃśakādau sukhabhe tadānīṃ jāto naraḥ syātparajāta eva

— when a malefic stands in the 4th, or a benefic there together with malefics; when the lord of the lagna is weak and with malefics; and when the 4th house falls in another's navāṃśa and the like — then the man born at that time is indeed born of another.

मातृस्थाने शुभयुते कारके शुभसंयुते । सद्भावपे बलाढ्ये वा मातुरायुष्यमादिशेत्

mātṛsthāne śubhayute kārake śubhasaṃyute | sadbhāvape balāḍhye vā māturāyuṣyamādiśet

If the 4th house is joined with benefics and its kāraka too is joined with benefics, or the lord of that auspicious house is strong, long life for the mother is to be declared.

चन्द्रे बलिष्ठे यदि वा भृगौ वा सौम्येक्षिते शोभनभागयुक्ते । चतुष्टये मातृगृहे शुभाग्रे मातुश्च दीर्घायुरुदाहरन्ति

candre baliṣṭhe yadi vā bhṛgau vā saumyekṣite śobhanabhāgayukte | catuṣṭaye mātṛgṛhe śubhāgre mātuśca dīrghāyurudāharanti

If the Moon or Venus is very strong, aspected by benefics and set in a good navāṃśa, and the 4th house falls in a kendra with a benefic in the house before it, long life for the mother is declared.

भावेशसंयुक्तनवांशनाथयुक्तांशपे केन्द्रयुते बलाढ्ये । तस्मिंच्छशाङ्काद्यदि केन्द्रयुक्ते मातुश्च दीर्घायुरुदाहरन्ति

bhāveśasaṃyuktanavāṃśanāthayuktāṃśape kendrayute balāḍhye | tasmiṃcchaśāṅkādyadi kendrayukte mātuśca dīrghāyurudāharanti

If the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of that house, and the lord of the navāṃśa joined with him, stand in kendras and are strong, and if he is also in a kendra reckoned from the Moon, long life for the mother is declared.

पापान्तरे पापयुते शशाङ्के पापेक्षिते मातृगृहे विनाशः । शुक्रात्तथैवं प्रवदन्ति सन्तः तत्स्थानपाद्वा कथयन्ति शेषम्

pāpāntare pāpayute śaśāṅke pāpekṣite mātṛgṛhe vināśaḥ | śukrāttathaivaṃ pravadanti santaḥ tatsthānapādvā kathayanti śeṣam

If the Moon is hemmed in between malefics and joined with malefics, and the 4th house is aspected by malefics, destruction follows. The good declare the same when reckoned from Venus, or else state the remaining results from the lord of that house.

निशाकरात्पापयुते स्मरे वा भृगोस्तथैवं जननीविनाशम् । सुखे शनौ मातृविनाशमेति पापेक्षिते चेदचिरेण नाशः

niśākarātpāpayute smare vā bhṛgostathaivaṃ jananīvināśam | sukhe śanau mātṛvināśameti pāpekṣite cedacireṇa nāśaḥ

If malefics are joined in the 7th reckoned from the Moon, or likewise from Venus, the mother's destruction follows. If Saturn is in the 4th, the mother's destruction comes; and if it is aspected by malefics, the destruction is not long delayed.

शुभेक्षितश्चेच्चिरकालमृत्युमुदाहरन्त्यत्र महानुभावाः । पापग्रहाणां भवने शनौ तु पापान्विते मातृविनाशमेति

śubhekṣitaśceccirakālamṛtyumudāharantyatra mahānubhāvāḥ | pāpagrahāṇāṃ bhavane śanau tu pāpānvite mātṛvināśameti

If it is aspected by benefics, the great authorities here declare the death to come only after a long time. But if Saturn stands in a sign belonging to the malefics and is joined with malefics, the mother's destruction follows.

मातृस्थानाधिपस्यांशराशीशो यन्नवांशके । तदंशनाथकिरणान्मातृकालं विनिर्दिशेत्

mātṛsthānādhipasyāṃśarāśīśo yannavāṃśake | tadaṃśanāthakiraṇānmātṛkālaṃ vinirdiśet

Take the lord of the sign of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 4th; in whatever navāṃśa he stands, from the degrees of the lord of that navāṃśa the time of the mother's end is to be determined.

नाथकारकराशीनां मध्ये यो बलवान् भवेत् । यावानंशस्तदंशे स्यान्मेषादौ तत्र मृत्युदः

nāthakārakarāśīnāṃ madhye yo balavān bhavet | yāvānaṃśastadaṃśe syānmeṣādau tatra mṛtyudaḥ

Among the lord of the house, its kāraka and the sign itself, whichever is the strongest: as many degrees as it holds in its division, reckoned from Aries onward, so much is the time at which it gives death.

वक्रे तु द्विगुणं प्रोक्तं त्रिगुणं त्वतिवक्रगे । चतुर्गुणं शुभैर्दृष्टे कालमेवं विनिर्दिशेत्

vakre tu dviguṇaṃ proktaṃ triguṇaṃ tvativakrage | caturguṇaṃ śubhairdṛṣṭe kālamevaṃ vinirdiśet

For a retrograde planet the measure is said to be doubled, for one deeply retrograde tripled, and when aspected by benefics quadrupled. Thus is the time to be determined.

हृदये पापसंयुक्ते पापदृष्टे तदीश्वरे । पापान्तरे वा हृदये हृत्कापट्यं विनिर्दिशेत्

hṛdaye pāpasaṃyukte pāpadṛṣṭe tadīśvare | pāpāntare vā hṛdaye hṛtkāpaṭyaṃ vinirdiśet

If the 4th, the house of the heart, is joined with malefics and its lord is aspected by malefics, or if the heart-house is hemmed in between malefics, crookedness of heart is to be declared.

शन्यारराहुसंयुक्ते हृदये शुभवर्जिते । तथैव तद्भावनाथे हृत्कापट्यं विनिर्दिशेत्

śanyārarāhusaṃyukte hṛdaye śubhavarjite | tathaiva tadbhāvanāthe hṛtkāpaṭyaṃ vinirdiśet

If the heart-house is joined with Saturn, Mars and Rāhu and is devoid of benefics, and its lord is in the same case, crookedness of heart is to be declared.

पापे कर्मेश्वरे सौख्ये कपटी पापवीक्षिते । सपापे रन्ध्रपे सौख्ये कापट्यं पापसंयुते

pāpe karmeśvare saukhye kapaṭī pāpavīkṣite | sapāpe randhrape saukhye kāpaṭyaṃ pāpasaṃyute

If the lord of the 10th is a malefic and stands in the 4th aspected by malefics, the man is a deceiver; and if the lord of the 8th, attended by malefics, is in the 4th and joined with malefics, there is deceit.

भानुना क्षीणचन्द्रेण सहिते हृदये यदा । कपटी क्षणमात्रन्तु निष्कापट्यं तदूर्ध्वतः

bhānunā kṣīṇacandreṇa sahite hṛdaye yadā | kapaṭī kṣaṇamātrantu niṣkāpaṭyaṃ tadūrdhvataḥ

When the 4th is joined with the Sun and the waning Moon, the man is a deceiver for a moment only; after that he is free of deceit.

हृदये शुभसंयुक्ते स्वोच्चमित्रगृहान्विते । शुभग्रहाणां क्षेत्रे वा निष्कापट्यं विनिर्दिशेत्

hṛdaye śubhasaṃyukte svoccamitragṛhānvite | śubhagrahāṇāṃ kṣetre vā niṣkāpaṭyaṃ vinirdiśet

If the 4th is joined with benefics and stands in its own sign, in exaltation or in a friend's house, or in a sign belonging to the benefic planets, freedom from deceit is to be declared.

विशुद्धहृदयः शान्तो हृदयेशे बलान्विते । गोपुराद्यंशके वापि मृद्वंशादियुते तथा

viśuddhahṛdayaḥ śānto hṛdayeśe balānvite | gopurādyaṃśake vāpi mṛdvaṃśādiyute tathā

He is pure of heart and tranquil when the lord of the 4th is strong, or stands in the Gopura and the other honorific divisions, or is likewise joined with a gentle (mṛdu) division and the like.

लग्नेश्वरे हृद्गते वा शुभयुक्तेक्षितेऽपि वा । पारावतादिभागस्थे निष्कापट्यं विनिर्दिशेत्

lagneśvare hṛdgate vā śubhayuktekṣite'pi vā | pārāvatādibhāgasthe niṣkāpaṭyaṃ vinirdiśet

If the lord of the lagna is in the 4th, or is joined with and aspected by benefics, or stands in the Pārāvata and the other honorific divisions, freedom from deceit is to be declared.

लग्ने गुरौ दानवपूजितेन युक्ते तदा तस्य विशुद्धचित्तम् । पापे सुखे तद्भवनाधिनाथे पापान्विते तस्य विरुद्धचित्तम्

lagne gurau dānavapūjitena yukte tadā tasya viśuddhacittam | pāpe sukhe tadbhavanādhināthe pāpānvite tasya viruddhacittam

When Jupiter is in the lagna joined with Venus, whom the demons worship, his mind is quite pure. But when a malefic is in the 4th and the lord of that house is joined with malefics, his mind is perverse.

राहौ सुखे पापदृशा समेते बहिर्विशुद्धस्त्वति तत्र भाति । अन्तर्गतं तत्कपटं वदन्ति पापाधिकत्वे सुखराशियुक्ते

rāhau sukhe pāpadṛśā samete bahirviśuddhastvati tatra bhāti | antargataṃ tatkapaṭaṃ vadanti pāpādhikatve sukharāśiyukte

When Rāhu is in the 4th with the aspect of a malefic upon it, the man appears outwardly very pure; but the deceit, they say, is within — when malefics predominate in conjunction with the 4th sign.

यदा लग्नसुखेशौ वा मित्रभूतौ परस्परम् । शुभेक्षितौ शुभैर्युक्तौ मातृस्नेहं विनिर्दिशेत्

yadā lagnasukheśau vā mitrabhūtau parasparam | śubhekṣitau śubhairyuktau mātṛsnehaṃ vinirdiśet

When the lords of the lagna and of the 4th are mutual friends, aspected by benefics and joined with benefics, affection for the mother is to be declared.

लग्नेश्वरेण सन्दृष्टे मातृनाथे चतुष्टये । शुभग्रहान्विते दृष्टे मातृस्नेहं विनिर्दिशेत्

lagneśvareṇa sandṛṣṭe mātṛnāthe catuṣṭaye | śubhagrahānvite dṛṣṭe mātṛsnehaṃ vinirdiśet

When the lord of the 4th is aspected by the lord of the lagna and stands in a kendra, joined with and aspected by benefic planets, affection for the mother is to be declared.

शत्रुश्चेल्लग्ननाथस्य मातृलाभाधिपौ यदि । पापेक्षिते पापयुते तच्छत्रुत्वं विनिर्दिशेत्

śatruścellagnanāthasya mātṛlābhādhipau yadi | pāpekṣite pāpayute tacchatrutvaṃ vinirdiśet

If the lords of the 4th and the 11th are enemies of the lord of the lagna, and are aspected by malefics and joined with malefics, hostility towards the mother is to be declared.

लग्नेशान्नाशराशिस्थे मातृस्थानाधिपे यदि । तथैव लग्नभावाद्वा तच्छत्रुत्वं विनिर्दिशेत्

lagneśānnāśarāśisthe mātṛsthānādhipe yadi | tathaiva lagnabhāvādvā tacchatrutvaṃ vinirdiśet

If the lord of the mother's house (the 4th) stands in a sign of ruin reckoned from the lord of the lagna, or likewise reckoned from the lagna itself, one should declare enmity in that quarter.

वाहनेशे बलयुते वाहने शुभसंयुते । शुभग्रहेण सन्दृष्टे वाहनादिफलम्भवेत्

vāhaneśe balayute vāhane śubhasaṃyute | śubhagraheṇa sandṛṣṭe vāhanādiphalambhavet

When the lord of the 4th, the house of conveyances, is endowed with strength, and the 4th itself is joined with benefics and aspected by a benefic planet, the fruit of conveyances and the like is obtained.

सुवर्णवस्त्राभरणादियानं शुक्राद्वदेत्तत्सुखराशितो वा । सेन्दौ चतुर्थाधिपतौ विलग्ने लग्नेश्वरेणापि युतेऽश्वलाभः

suvarṇavastrābharaṇādiyānaṃ śukrādvadettatsukharāśito vā | sendau caturthādhipatau vilagne lagneśvareṇāpi yute'śvalābhaḥ

Gold, garments, ornaments and a conveyance are to be predicted from Venus, or from the 4th house itself. When the lord of the 4th, together with the Moon, is in the lagna and is joined also with the lord of the lagna, there is the gaining of horses.

शुक्रेण युक्ते यदि वाहनेशे देहान्विते वा नरवाहनादि । देवेन्द्रपूज्येन युतेऽत्र लग्ने वदन्ति सन्तश्चतुरङ्गयानम्

śukreṇa yukte yadi vāhaneśe dehānvite vā naravāhanādi | devendrapūjyena yute'tra lagne vadanti santaścaturaṅgayānam

If the lord of the 4th is joined with Venus, or is placed in the lagna, there is a man-borne palanquin and the like; and when it is joined with Jupiter in the lagna, the good declare a fourfold equipage.

चन्द्रामरेज्यामरशत्रुपूज्यैः युक्ते तनौ वा यदि वाहनेशे । प्रोक्तं त्रयं वाहनमाहुरार्या नीचारिमूढादिविहीनखेटैः

candrāmarejyāmaraśatrupūjyaiḥ yukte tanau vā yadi vāhaneśe | proktaṃ trayaṃ vāhanamāhurāryā nīcārimūḍhādivihīnakheṭaiḥ

If the lord of the 4th is joined with the Moon, Jupiter and Venus, or is placed in the lagna, the noble ones declare all three conveyances already named — provided the planets concerned are free from debilitation, enemy signs and combustion.

भाग्येशलग्नेशचतुर्थनाथाः कर्मस्थिता नीचविमूढहीनाः । कर्मेश्वरेणापि युते विलग्ने सिंहासनप्राप्तिमुदाहरन्ति

bhāgyeśalagneśacaturthanāthāḥ karmasthitā nīcavimūḍhahīnāḥ | karmeśvareṇāpi yute vilagne siṃhāsanaprāptimudāharanti

When the lords of the 9th, of the lagna and of the 4th are placed in the 10th, free from debilitation and combustion, and the lagna is joined also with the lord of the 10th, they declare the attainment of a throne.

भाग्यस्थिते वाहनराशिनाथे सशुक्रजीवे सुखराशियुक्ते । भाग्याधिपे कोणचतुष्टये वा बह्वर्थदेशाभरणार्थयानम्

bhāgyasthite vāhanarāśināthe saśukrajīve sukharāśiyukte | bhāgyādhipe koṇacatuṣṭaye vā bahvarthadeśābharaṇārthayānam

When the lord of the sign of conveyances is placed in the 9th, with Venus and Jupiter joined to the 4th, and the lord of the 9th is in a trine or a quadrant, there is abundant wealth, lands, ornaments and conveyances.

भाग्याधिपेन सहिते यदि वाहनेशे जीवेक्षिते तनुगते बलपूर्णयुक्ते । स्वक्षेत्रतुङ्गसहिते यदि वा त्रिकोणे भूनाथमानववशाद्धनवाहनादि

bhāgyādhipena sahite yadi vāhaneśe jīvekṣite tanugate balapūrṇayukte | svakṣetratuṅgasahite yadi vā trikoṇe bhūnāthamānavavaśāddhanavāhanādi

If the lord of the 4th is joined with the lord of the 9th, aspected by Jupiter, placed in the lagna and full of strength, or else is in its own sign, in exaltation, or in a trine, then wealth, conveyances and the like come by favour of the ruler of the land and of men of station.

भाग्येश्वरेणापि युते सुखेशे यत्र स्थिते पश्यति वा निजर्क्षम् । वैशेषिकांशे यदि वा बलाढ्ये सर्वार्थभाग्यान्वितवाहनः स्यात्

bhāgyeśvareṇāpi yute sukheśe yatra sthite paśyati vā nijarkṣam | vaiśeṣikāṃśe yadi vā balāḍhye sarvārthabhāgyānvitavāhanaḥ syāt

When the lord of the 4th is joined with the lord of the 9th and, from wherever it stands, aspects its own sign, or is in a Vaiśeṣikāṃśa and rich in strength, the native has conveyances attended by every object of desire and by good fortune.

दुःस्थे विमूढे यदि वाहनेशे भाग्येश्वरेणापि समीक्षिते वा । दुर्वाहिनी चञ्चलवाहिनी वा लाभाधिपेनापि समीक्षिते वा

duḥsthe vimūḍhe yadi vāhaneśe bhāgyeśvareṇāpi samīkṣite vā | durvāhinī cañcalavāhinī vā lābhādhipenāpi samīkṣite vā

If the lord of the 4th is ill-placed and combust, even though aspected by the lord of the 9th, or though aspected by the lord of the 11th, his mount is a poor one, or else a skittish one.

सौख्याधिपे शोभनखेचरेण भाग्येश्वरेणापि युतेऽथ वा स्यात् । सेनाबहुत्वं समुपैति जातो बहुत्वदेशाभरणानि यानम्

saukhyādhipe śobhanakhecareṇa bhāgyeśvareṇāpi yute'tha vā syāt | senābahutvaṃ samupaiti jāto bahutvadeśābharaṇāni yānam

When the lord of the 4th is joined with an auspicious planet, or with the lord of the 9th, the native comes to have a large armed retinue, and many lands, ornaments and conveyances.

भाग्येश्वराल्लाभगते विलग्ननाथे सुखेशे यदि भाग्यराशौ । सुखायभावे तनुनायके वा त्वसंख्ययानादियुतः प्रसिद्धः

bhāgyeśvarāllābhagate vilagnanāthe sukheśe yadi bhāgyarāśau | sukhāyabhāve tanunāyake vā tvasaṃkhyayānādiyutaḥ prasiddhaḥ

When the lord of the lagna is in the 11th from the lord of the 9th, and the lord of the 4th is in the sign of the 9th, or when the lord of the lagna occupies the 4th or the 11th house, the native is renowned and possessed of conveyances beyond counting.

सुखेश्वरे केन्द्रगते तदीशे लग्नस्थिते वा बहुवाहनाढ्यः । कर्मेश्वरे लग्नगते तदीशे कर्मस्थिते वा बहुवाहनाढ्यः

sukheśvare kendragate tadīśe lagnasthite vā bahuvāhanāḍhyaḥ | karmeśvare lagnagate tadīśe karmasthite vā bahuvāhanāḍhyaḥ

When the lord of the 4th is in a quadrant, or its own dispositor is in the lagna, the native abounds in conveyances; and when the lord of the 10th is in the lagna, or its dispositor is in the 10th, he likewise abounds in conveyances.

सुखेश्वरे सौम्ययुते सुखस्थे शस्त्राश्वकोशाधिपतिर्भवेत्तु । क्षेत्रेश्वरे लाभगते बलाढ्ये बन्धौ भवे वा क्षितिसूनुयुक्ते

sukheśvare saumyayute sukhasthe śastrāśvakośādhipatirbhavettu | kṣetreśvare lābhagate balāḍhye bandhau bhave vā kṣitisūnuyukte

When the lord of the 4th is joined with a benefic and placed in the 4th, the native becomes master of weapons, of horses and of a treasury; so too when the lord of that house, rich in strength, goes to the 11th, or stands in the 4th joined with Mars.

भूसूनुराशौ यदि वा सुखेशे राज्यार्थसौख्याभरणादियानम् । सौम्ये विलग्ने सबलं प्रयुक्ते धर्मान्विते शोभनखेचरेन्द्रे

bhūsūnurāśau yadi vā sukheśe rājyārthasaukhyābharaṇādiyānam | saumye vilagne sabalaṃ prayukte dharmānvite śobhanakhecarendre

Or if the lord of the 4th is in a sign of Mars, there are dominion, wealth, comfort, ornaments and conveyances — the more so when a benefic is strongly placed in the lagna and an auspicious planet is joined to the 9th.

स्वोच्चस्थिते वित्तपतौ च केन्द्रे सिंहासनप्राप्तिमुदाहरन्ति । सौम्येक्षिते धर्मगृहे तु केन्द्रे सवित्तपाः शोभनखेचरेन्द्राः

svoccasthite vittapatau ca kendre siṃhāsanaprāptimudāharanti | saumyekṣite dharmagṛhe tu kendre savittapāḥ śobhanakhecarendrāḥ

When the lord of the 2nd is in exaltation and in a quadrant, they declare the attainment of a throne; and likewise when, aspected by benefics, the auspicious planets together with the lord of the 2nd stand in the 9th house or in a quadrant.

उच्चे ग्रहे वा धनराशियुक्ते सिंहासनप्राप्तिमुदाहरन्ति । केन्द्रे शुभाः पापखगास्त्रिषष्ठलाभस्थितास्तत्पदमाहुरार्याः

ucce grahe vā dhanarāśiyukte siṃhāsanaprāptimudāharanti | kendre śubhāḥ pāpakhagāstriṣaṣṭhalābhasthitāstatpadamāhurāryāḥ

Or when an exalted planet is joined to the sign of the 2nd, they declare the attainment of a throne; and when benefics occupy quadrants while malefic planets are placed in the 3rd, 6th and 11th, the noble ones declare that same rank.

गेहेशे व्ययराशिस्थे पित्राद्यन्यं विदेशगः । अष्टमस्थे गृहेशे वा स्वयं सम्पादयेद् गृहम्

geheśe vyayarāśisthe pitrādyanyaṃ videśagaḥ | aṣṭamasthe gṛheśe vā svayaṃ sampādayed gṛham

When the lord of the house (the 4th) is in the 12th sign, the native lives in a dwelling other than his father's and goes to foreign parts; and when the lord of that house is in the 8th, he procures a house by his own effort.

धनेशे लग्नभावस्थे कर्मेशे धनमाश्रिते । वाहने स्वोच्चखेटस्थे वाहनाधिपतिर्भवेत्

dhaneśe lagnabhāvasthe karmeśe dhanamāśrite | vāhane svoccakheṭasthe vāhanādhipatirbhavet

When the lord of the 2nd is in the lagna, the lord of the 10th resorts to the 2nd, and an exalted planet occupies the 4th, the native becomes a lord of conveyances.

लग्नवाहनभाग्येशास्त्वन्योऽन्यं केन्द्रमाश्रिताः । लग्ननाथे बलाढ्ये वा वाहनाधिपतिर्भवेत्

lagnavāhanabhāgyeśāstvanyo'nyaṃ kendramāśritāḥ | lagnanāthe balāḍhye vā vāhanādhipatirbhavet

When the lords of the lagna, of the 4th and of the 9th occupy quadrants reckoned from one another, or when the lord of the lagna is rich in strength, the native becomes a lord of conveyances.

गोपुराद्यंशके वापि वाहनेशे बलान्विते । लाभकर्मशुभाधीशैर्दृष्टे वाहनसंयुतः

vaṃśakṣayādisahite yadi satyametacchāstrādhipāragamanā munayo vadanti | putrādiyogamakhilaṃ tadabhāvayogaṃ proktaṃ vilokya manasā ca vadetsuvidvān

If, however, these stand together with combinations for the extinction of the lineage, then — so say the sages who have gone to the far shore of the śāstra — the truth is this: the well-learned man should first survey with his mind all the yogas declared for children and all those declared for their absence, and only then speak.

वंशस्य विच्छेदकरः प्रजातश्चन्द्रास्फुजित् पापखगाः क्रमेण । खंदारसौख्येषु युतास्तथैव लग्नेश्वरे चन्द्रसुतेन युक्ते

vaṃśasya vicchedakaraḥ prajātaścandrāsphujit pāpakhagāḥ krameṇa | khaṃdārasaukhyeṣu yutāstathaiva lagneśvare candrasutena yukte

When malefic planets stand in the twelfth, the fifth and the eighth, he cuts off the lineage and is destitute of wealth. And when the Moon is in the lagna with Jupiter, and Mars or Saturn is in the seventh from it —

पापग्रहा बन्धुगताश्च सर्वे वंशस्य विच्छेदकरोऽत्र जातः । लग्नान्त्यपुत्राष्टमराशियुक्तैः पापग्रहैर्वंशविनाशहेतुः

pāpagrahā bandhugatāśca sarve vaṃśasya vicchedakaro'tra jātaḥ | lagnāntyaputrāṣṭamarāśiyuktaiḥ pāpagrahairvaṃśavināśahetuḥ

— and when all the malefic planets stand in the fourth (bandhu), the one born here cuts off the lineage. When malefic planets occupy the signs of the lagna, the twelfth, the fifth and the eighth, that is a cause of the destruction of the lineage.

शुभेतरा रन्ध्रविलग्नरिष्फे वंशस्य विच्छेदकरः सुतेऽब्जे । दारस्थिते सोमसुते सशुक्रे पापे सुखे देवगुरौ सुतस्थे

— and when the eighth from the Moon is joined with malefics, the one born here cuts off the lineage. When a malefic is in the lagna, the Moon in the fourth, and the lord of the lagna is joined with the fifth sign —

बलैर्विहीने यदि पुत्रनाथे वंशस्य विच्छेदकरोऽत्र जातः । क्षीणे शशाङ्के तनुभावयुक्ते मूढान्विते मन्दगृहे सुरेज्ये

balairvihīne yadi putranāthe vaṃśasya vicchedakaro'tra jātaḥ | kṣīṇe śaśāṅke tanubhāvayukte mūḍhānvite mandagṛhe surejye

— and the lord of the 5th (putranātha) is devoid of strength, the one born here cuts off the lineage. When the waning Moon stands in the lagna, and Jupiter, combust, is in Saturn's sign —

त्रिकोणगैः पापखगैश्च सर्वैः प्रागेव पुत्रस्य सुखस्य नाशः । चन्द्रात्मजे पञ्चमराशियुक्ते लग्ने सुखे वा यदि पापयुक्ते

trikoṇagaiḥ pāpakhagaiśca sarvaiḥ prāgeva putrasya sukhasya nāśaḥ | candrātmaje pañcamarāśiyukte lagne sukhe vā yadi pāpayukte

— and when all the malefic planets stand in the trines, the happiness of children is destroyed beforehand. When Mercury, the son of the Moon, is joined with the fifth sign, and the lagna or the fourth is occupied by malefics —

शुभेतरैः पञ्चमभावयुक्तैर्न दृश्यते पुत्रसुखं हि तेन। जातो यदि स्यात् क्षितिसूनुलग्ने रन्ध्रे शनौ पञ्चमगे रवौ वा

śubhetaraiḥ pañcamabhāvayuktairna dṛśyate putrasukhaṃ hi tena| jāto yadi syāt kṣitisūnulagne randhre śanau pañcamage ravau vā

— when the fifth house is occupied by malefics, thereby the happiness of children is not to be seen. And if one is born with Mars in the lagna, or Saturn in the eighth, or the Sun in the fifth —

पुत्रादिलाभं मुनयो वदन्ति कालान्तरे शोभनदृष्टियोगात् । लग्ने शनौ देवगुरौ तु रन्ध्रे व्यये कुजे पुत्रजनिश्चिरेण

putrādilābhaṃ munayo vadanti kālāntare śobhanadṛṣṭiyogāt | lagne śanau devagurau tu randhre vyaye kuje putrajaniścireṇa

The sages say that the gain of sons and the like comes only after a long interval, through the aspect or conjunction of benefics. When Saturn is in the ascendant, Jupiter in the eighth and Mars in the twelfth, the birth of a son comes only after long delay.

बुद्धिस्थानाधिपे सौम्ये शुभदृष्टिसमन्विते । शुभग्रहाणां क्षेत्रे वा बुद्धिमान्नीतिमान् भवेत्

buddhisthānādhipe saumye buddhirāśigate gurau | śubhagrahāṇāṃ madhyasthe bhāve buddhiṃ vinirdiśet

If the lord of the fifth is a benefic, Jupiter occupies the fifth sign, and that house stands hemmed between benefics, one should pronounce the native intelligent.

बुद्धिस्थानेश्वरे केन्द्रे शुभग्रहसमन्विते । उच्चग्रहसमायुक्ते ग्रहणादिपटुर्भवेत्

gopurādyaṃśake vā'pi dhāraṇādipaṭurbhavet

Or if they stand in the gopura and the other higher divisional dignities, the native is skilled in retaining what he learns.

nāthakārakasaṃyukte tryaṃśabhogapatau śubhe | catuṣṭaye trikoṇe vā śubhadṛṣṭeṅgitajñakṛt

If the lord of the drekkāṇa portion being enjoyed is a benefic and is joined with the lord of the fifth and with the kāraka, and stands in a kendra or a trine aspected by benefics, it makes the native one who reads others' intentions.

पञ्चमे पापसंयुक्ते तदीशे पापसंयुते । क्रूरषष्ट्यंशके वाऽपि बुद्धिनाशो भवेत्तदा

pañcame pāpasaṃyukte tadīśe pāpasaṃyute | krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśake vā'pi buddhināśo bhavettadā

If the fifth is joined by malefics and its lord too is joined by malefics, or stands in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa (sixtieth division), then there is destruction of intelligence.

mandamāndyagusaṃyukte pañcame śubhavarjite | tadīśe pāpasandṛṣṭe vismṛtiḥ prāyaśo bhavet

If the fifth is joined with Saturn and Gulika (māndi) and is devoid of benefics, and its lord is aspected by malefics, forgetfulness is generally the result.

बुद्धिर्विस्मृतिपूर्वा स्यात्कारके शुभसंयुते । तदीशे पापसंयुक्ते क्रूरषष्ट्यंशकेऽपि वा

buddhirvismṛtipūrvā syātkārake śubhasaṃyute | tadīśe pāpasaṃyukte krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśake'pi vā

Intelligence will be attended by forgetfulness when the kāraka is joined with benefics but the lord of the fifth is joined with malefics, or stands in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa.

buddhīśvareṇa saṃyukte gopurādyaṃśakānvite | āgāmisūcako mantrī kārake kendrakoṇage

gopurādyaṃśake vā'pi śubhāṃśe śubhavīkṣite | puṃgrahe puṃgrahaṃ prāpte puṃbhāge putranāyake || suputrajananaṃ vidyātprathamaṃ nā'tra saṃśayaḥ

If the lord of the fifth (putranāyaka) stands in the gopura or another such higher division, or in a benefic's division and is aspected by benefics, is a male planet, has reached a male planet's sign, and stands in a male division, one should know that the first-born will be a good son; there is no doubt in this.

स्त्रीराशौ स्त्रीग्रहे प्राप्ते स्त्रीभावे पुत्रनायके । दारिकां प्रथमं विद्यात्षण्ढांशे षण्ढमादिशेत्

lagnaputreśvarābhyāṃ tu mitratvenaiva mitratā | śatrutve śātravaṃ proktaṃ samatve samatā bhavet

By the mutual relation of the lords of the ascendant and of the fifth: if they are friends, there is friendship between father and son; if enemies, enmity is declared; and if neutral, indifference results.

लग्नपुत्रेश्वरौ खेटौ परस्परनिरीक्षितौ । परस्परगृहांशस्थौ शुश्रूषां कारयेत्सुतः

lagnaṃ paśyati vā putranāthe lagnānvite yadi | lagneśvare sutarkṣe vā putro vākyavaśānugaḥ

Or if the lord of the fifth aspects the ascendant, or is joined with the ascendant, or if the lord of the ascendant occupies the fifth sign, the son is obedient to his father's word.

putrasthāneśvare duḥsthe lagneśenāpi vīkṣite | sandṛṣṭe kujarāhubhyāṃ nityaṃ pitṛvidūṣakaḥ

When the lord of the house of children (the 5th) is in an evil house and is aspected by the lord of the lagna, and is also aspected by Mars and Rāhu, the native is one who constantly reviles his father.

पञ्चमे गुरुशुक्राभ्यां सवित्रा सहितेऽथ वा । एतेषां भवने वाऽपि सोऽयं योजयिता भवेत्

pañcame guruśukrābhyāṃ savitrā sahite'tha vā | eteṣāṃ bhavane vā'pi so'yaṃ yojayitā bhavet

When the 5th house is joined with Jupiter and Venus, or with the Sun; or when (its lord) stands in the house of these — such a native becomes one who brings about unions (yojayitṛ, an arranger of matches).

aribhavanādaricaura kṣatavighnakleśanābhyudaradeśān | madhurādiṣaḍupadaṃśān graharāśyuditān vadet prājñaḥ

From the house of enemies (the 6th) the wise man should declare enemies, thieves, wounds, obstacles and distress, and the region of the navel and belly; and also the six tastes beginning with the sweet, as indicated by the planets and the signs.

षष्ठेश्वरे क्रूरयुते विलग्ने रन्ध्रस्थिते वा ब्रणदः शरीरे । कर्मस्थिते तादृशखेचरेन्द्रे व्रणप्रदोऽङ्गे शुभदृष्टियुक्ते

ṣaṣṭheśvare krūrayute vilagne randhrasthite vā braṇadaḥ śarīre | karmasthite tādṛśakhecarendre vraṇaprado'ṅge śubhadṛṣṭiyukte

When the lord of the 6th, joined with a malefic, stands in the lagna or in the 8th, it gives a wound on the body. When such a planet stands in the 10th, it gives a wound on a limb — less so if it has a benefic aspect.

पित्रादिभावादपि योजनीयं भावेशतत्कारकदृष्टियोगात् । बलाबलेनापि विकल्प्य सर्वं तेषां ब्रणं तत्कथयन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

pitrādibhāvādapi yojanīyaṃ bhāveśatatkārakadṛṣṭiyogāt | balābalenāpi vikalpya sarvaṃ teṣāṃ braṇaṃ tatkathayanti tajjñāḥ

The same is to be applied from the bhāva of the father and the rest, by the aspects and conjunctions of the lord of that bhāva and of its kāraka; and, weighing everything by strength and weakness, those who know declare the wound of each of them.

शिरोऽर्कादेर्मुखं कण्ठं श्रोत्रनासा च गुह्यकम् । पाणी पार्श्वौ दृशौ पादौ प्रपदौ कुक्षिमादिशेत्

śiro'rkādermukhaṃ kaṇṭhaṃ śrotranāsā ca guhyakam | pāṇī pārśvau dṛśau pādau prapadau kukṣimādiśet

The head, the face, the throat, the ear and nose, the private parts, the two hands, the two flanks, the two eyes, the two feet, the two fore-feet, and the belly — these are to be declared (as the seats of injury).

When the Moon, Mercury (her son) and the lord of the lagna are with Rāhu or joined with Ketu in that limb, the sages declare white leprosy (śvitra) and kuṣṭha; if they are aspected by benefics, it is milder at that time.

विना विलग्नाधिपतिं ग्रहेषु लग्नस्थितेष्वत्र तु कुष्ठभाक् स्यात् । पित्रादिकानां फलमेवमाहुर्मुनीश्वराः कारकभावनाथैः

vinā vilagnādhipatiṃ graheṣu lagnasthiteṣvatra tu kuṣṭhabhāk syāt | pitrādikānāṃ phalamevamāhurmunīśvarāḥ kārakabhāvanāthaiḥ

Even without the lord of the lagna, when those planets stand in the lagna the native suffers from kuṣṭha. The great sages declare in the same way the results for the father and the rest, by means of the kārakas and the lords of the bhāvas.

पैत्र्यं तु कुष्ठं कुजसंयुतेषु शैत्यं भवेन्मन्दसमन्वितेषु । रक्तं तदा सूर्यसमन्वितेषु ग्रहोक्तदेशे नियतं तदाहुः

paitryaṃ tu kuṣṭhaṃ kujasaṃyuteṣu śaityaṃ bhavenmandasamanviteṣu | raktaṃ tadā sūryasamanviteṣu grahoktadeśe niyataṃ tadāhuḥ

When they are joined with Mars, the kuṣṭha is inherited from the father; when joined with Saturn, it is of the cold kind; when joined with the Sun, it is red. They declare it fixed in the part of the body assigned to the planet.

caittena rogeṇa budhena yuktau nirvyādhikau jīvasamanvitau cet | śukreṇa bhāryāvipadaṃ vadanti mandena nīcānilarogamāhuḥ

Joined with Mercury they give a mental (caitta) disease; joined with Jupiter they are free from disease; with Venus they declare calamity to the wife; and with Saturn they declare disease of the lower parts and of wind (vāta).

षष्ठेशलग्नाधिपती समन्दौ केन्द्रत्रिकोणे यदि बन्धनं स्यात् । सराहुकेतुर्यदि केन्द्रकोणे वदन्ति तज्ज्ञा निगडं तदानीम्

If the lords of the 6th and of the lagna are with Saturn in a kendra or a trine, there is imprisonment. If they are with Rāhu and Ketu in a kendra or a trine, those who know declare fetters at that time.

पित्रादितत्कारक भावनाथैः पित्रादिकानां फलमाहुरन्ये । तत्तद्ग्रहाणां परिपाककाले त्वन्तर्दशायामथ वा वदन्ति

pitrāditatkāraka bhāvanāthaiḥ pitrādikānāṃ phalamāhuranye | tattadgrahāṇāṃ paripākakāle tvantardaśāyāmatha vā vadanti

Others declare the results for the father and the rest by means of the kārakas of those relations and the lords of their bhāvas; and they declare them at the ripening period of those several planets, or in their antardaśās.

— if Rāhu, Saturn and Mercury stand in the 10th, the native born here suffers the cutting off of a foot. When the Sun, the lord of the day, is aspected by Venus and Jupiter, and Mars or Saturn is joined with Rāhu —

क्रूरादिषष्ट्यंशसमन्विते वा विच्छेदनं तच्छिरसो वदन्ति । मन्दे विलग्ने मदने सराहौ कर्मान्विते भार्गवनन्दने च

krūrādiṣaṣṭyaṃśasamanvite vā vicchedanaṃ tacchiraso vadanti | mande vilagne madane sarāhau karmānvite bhārgavanandane ca

— or when joined with a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa and the like, they declare the cutting off of his head. When Saturn is in the lagna, Rāhu in the 7th (madana), and Venus in the 10th —

kṛṣṇe śaśāṅke madarāśiyukte vicchinnahastaḥ sa bhavetpadena | bhūsūnulagne yadi vā tadaṃśe sūryānvite kṛṣṇaniśākare tu

— and the waning Moon is joined with the 7th sign, he becomes one whose hand is cut off, together with a foot. Or when Mars is in the lagna, or in its navāṃśa, joined with the Sun, and the Moon is waning —

फणीन्द्रचन्द्रात्मजसंयुतेऽर्करश्म्याभिभूते ह्युदरस्य भेदः । मन्दोदये सौम्यदृशा विहीने सर्पाऽर्कयुक्ते यदि कृष्णचन्द्रे

phaṇīndracandrātmajasaṃyute'rkaraśmyābhibhūte hyudarasya bhedaḥ | mandodaye saumyadṛśā vihīne sarpā'rkayukte yadi kṛṣṇacandre

— and it is joined with Rāhu and Mercury and overpowered by the Sun's rays, there is a splitting open of the belly. When Saturn is rising, devoid of benefic aspect, joined with Rāhu and the Sun, and the Moon is dark —

शस्त्रेण कुक्षेर्दलनं वदन्ति जातस्य दर्शे मुनयो महान्तः । दशासु रुग्णादिरुजं वदन्ति शास्त्रानुसारेण फलं विचार्य

śastreṇa kukṣerdalanaṃ vadanti jātasya darśe munayo mahāntaḥ | daśāsu rugṇādirujaṃ vadanti śāstrānusāreṇa phalaṃ vicārya

— the great sages declare a tearing open of the native's flank by a weapon, when the birth falls on the new-moon day (darśa). In the daśās they declare sickness and the like, having weighed the result in accordance with the śāstra.

When the Moon is waning and aspected by Rāhu, and Saturn is in the native's head (the first house), there is a cutting off of his head. When Saturn is in the lagna, Mercury is in his own house, and Saturn's sign stands in the 4th with Mercury, he is very short of stature.

putrādīnāmidaṃ yojyaṃ tattad bhāvaprakārakaiḥ | nāstikāya na vaktavyaṃ vaktavyaṃ sujanāya vai

This same method is to be applied to sons and the rest, using the procedures appropriate to each house. It is not to be told to an unbeliever; it is to be told only to a good man.

अध्यायः पञ्चमः प्रोक्तः पञ्चषड्भाववाचकः । विचित्रार्थसमायुक्तो वेङ्कटेशेन धीमता

adhyāyaḥ pañcamaḥ proktaḥ pañcaṣaḍbhāvavācakaḥ | vicitrārthasamāyukto veṅkaṭeśena dhīmatā

Thus the fifth chapter, which treats of the 5th and 6th houses and is filled with remarkable matter, has been declared by the wise Veṅkaṭeśa.

युवतिपदादुद्वाहं भार्यापतिसूपदधिगुडक्षीरम् । आगमगमनमदार्तिं ब्रूयान्मूत्राशयं च नष्टधनम्

yuvatipadādudvāhaṃ bhāryāpatisūpadadhiguḍakṣīram | āgamagamanamadārtiṃ brūyānmūtrāśayaṃ ca naṣṭadhanam

शुक्रे कलत्रे त्वतिकामुकः स्याद्बुधेऽन्ययोषानिरतो गुरौ तु । स्वदारसक्तो दिननाथपुत्रे कुदाररम्यः सुपतौ सुदारः

śukre kalatre tvatikāmukaḥ syādbudhe'nyayoṣānirato gurau tu | svadārasakto dinanāthaputre kudāraramyaḥ supatau sudāraḥ

Venus in the 7th makes a man exceedingly lustful; Mercury there makes him devoted to the wives of others; Jupiter makes him attached to his own wife; Saturn, the son of the lord of day, makes him delight in a bad wife; and with a good lord of the house he gets a good wife.

लग्नस्थिता वित्तकलत्रशत्रुनाथाः सशुक्रा यदि पापयुक्ताः

lagnasthitā vittakalatraśatrunāthāḥ saśukrā yadi pāpayuktāḥ

If the lords of the 2nd, the 7th and the 6th, together with Venus, stand in the lagna and are joined with malefics —

जातः परस्त्रीषु रतः कुमार्गी शुभेक्षितश्चेन्न तथा भवेच्च । लग्नारिपौ पापयुतौ यदि स्याज्जातः परस्त्रीषु रतः कुमार्गी

jātaḥ parastrīṣu rataḥ kumārgī śubhekṣitaścenna tathā bhavecca | lagnāripau pāpayutau yadi syājjātaḥ parastrīṣu rataḥ kumārgī

— the native goes after the wives of others and follows evil courses; but if they are aspected by benefics it is not so. And if the lords of the lagna and of the 6th are joined with malefics, the native goes after the wives of others and follows evil courses.

लग्नेश्वरे शत्रुकुटुम्बनाथे पापैर्युते वा यदि दारराशौ । सौरो सपापे यदि दारनाथे जातः परस्त्रीषु रतः कुटुम्बे

lagneśvare śatrukuṭumbanāthe pāpairyute vā yadi dārarāśau | sauro sapāpe yadi dāranāthe jātaḥ parastrīṣu rataḥ kuṭumbe

If the lord of the lagna, the lord of the 6th and the lord of the 2nd are joined with malefics, or stand in the sign of the 7th; or if Saturn together with malefics is with the lord of the 7th — the native, with such planets in the 2nd, goes after the wives of others.

सराहुकेतौ यदि दारनाथे पापेक्षिते वा व्यभिचारयोगः । कर्मेशवित्तेशकलत्रनाथा मानस्थिता जारमुदाहरन्ति

sarāhuketau yadi dāranāthe pāpekṣite vā vyabhicārayogaḥ | karmeśavitteśakalatranāthā mānasthitā jāramudāharanti

If the lord of the 7th is with Rāhu or Ketu, or is aspected by malefics, there is a yoga for adultery. The lords of the 10th, the 2nd and the 7th, standing in the house of honour (the 10th), are said to indicate an adulterer.

एको ग्रहस्तेषु चतुर्थराशौ जातः परस्त्रीगमनं प्रयाति । अनपत्ययोग जारपुत्रयोगाँश्चाह पुत्रेश्वरे जारपतौ बलाढ्ये दृष्टे युते वा त्वरिनायकेन

eko grahasteṣu caturtharāśau jātaḥ parastrīgamanaṃ prayāti | anapatyayoga jāraputrayogām̐ścāha putreśvare jārapatau balāḍhye dṛṣṭe yute vā tvarināyakena

If one planet among them stands in the 4th sign, the native goes after the wives of others. (He now states the yogas for childlessness and for a son begotten by an adulterer.) When the lord of the 5th and the lord of adultery are strong, and are aspected by or joined with the lord of the 6th —

जातोऽनपत्यो यदि तत्कलत्रे जारात्सुतः स्याच्छुभखेटदृष्टे । दारेश्वरे पापयुते कुटुम्बे भौमेन दृष्टे यदि जारपुत्रः

jāto'napatyo yadi tatkalatre jārātsutaḥ syācchubhakheṭadṛṣṭe | dāreśvare pāpayute kuṭumbe bhaumena dṛṣṭe yadi jāraputraḥ

— the native is without children; and if that lord stands in the 7th and is aspected by a benefic planet, there is a son by an adulterer. When the lord of the 7th, joined with malefics, is in the 2nd and aspected by Mars, there is likewise a son by an adulterer.

धीधर्मनाथौ सकलत्रनाथौ दुःस्थानगौ हीनबलौ शुभैर्न । दृष्टे सुते दारबहुत्वयोगे त्वपुत्रयोगं मुनयो वदन्ति

dhīdharmanāthau sakalatranāthau duḥsthānagau hīnabalau śubhairna | dṛṣṭe sute dārabahutvayoge tvaputrayogaṃ munayo vadanti

When the lords of the 5th and the 9th, together with the lord of the 7th, are in evil houses, deficient in strength, and not aspected by benefics — the 5th being so afflicted while a combination for many wives is present — the sages declare a yoga of childlessness.

क्षीणे शशाङ्के यदि पापयुक्ते दारस्थिते त्वन्यकलत्रगामी । लग्ने सपापे यदि दारनाथे जातः परस्त्रीषु रतः कुमार्गी

kṣīṇe śaśāṅke yadi pāpayukte dārasthite tvanyakalatragāmī | lagne sapāpe yadi dāranāthe jātaḥ parastrīṣu rataḥ kumārgī

If a waning Moon joined with malefics stands in the 7th, he goes after other men's wives. If the lord of the 7th, along with malefics, is in the lagna, the native goes after the wives of others and follows evil courses.

सुतेशे दारभं याते तदीशे पापसंयुते । शुक्रो बलविहीनश्चेद् गर्भेण स्त्रीमृतिर्भवेत्

suteśe dārabhaṃ yāte tadīśe pāpasaṃyute | śukro balavihīnaśced garbheṇa strīmṛtirbhavet

When the lord of the 5th goes to the sign of the 7th, the lord of the 7th is joined with malefics, and Venus is devoid of strength, the wife dies in pregnancy.

नीचे भृगौ वा यदि वा शशाङ्के नीचस्थितेऽत्राम्बुनि दारहानिः । उद्बन्धनात् तन्मरणं वदन्ति दारेश्वरे पाशभुजङ्गमाख्ये

nīce bhṛgau vā yadi vā śaśāṅke nīcasthite'trāmbuni dārahāniḥ | udbandhanāt tanmaraṇaṃ vadanti dāreśvare pāśabhujaṅgamākhye

If Venus is debilitated, or the Moon is debilitated in the 4th (ambu), there is loss of the wife. Her death by hanging is declared when the lord of the 7th is in the dreṣkāṇa called the noose (pāśa) or the serpent (bhujaṅgama).

स्वर्क्षे कुटुम्बाधिपतौ कलत्रनाथे यदा त्वेककलत्रभाक् स्यात्

svarkṣe kuṭumbādhipatau kalatranāthe yadā tvekakalatrabhāk syāt

When the lord of the 2nd and the lord of the 7th are each in his own sign, then he has one wife only.

ताभ्यां समेतैर्ग्रहनायकैर्वा कलत्रसंख्याम्प्रवदन्ति सन्तः । कलत्रनाथस्थितराशिनाथसंयुक्तखेटैरपि वाच्यमेतत्

tābhyāṃ sametairgrahanāyakairvā kalatrasaṃkhyāmpravadanti santaḥ | kalatranāthasthitarāśināthasaṃyuktakheṭairapi vācyametat

The good declare the number of wives from the planets joined with those two; and this may also be declared from the planets joined with the lord of the sign in which the lord of the 7th stands.

कलत्रेशे बहुगुणे तुङ्गवक्रादिहेतुभिः । बहुभार्यं नरं विद्यादुदयर्क्षगतेऽपि वा

kalatreśe bahuguṇe tuṅgavakrādihetubhiḥ | bahubhāryaṃ naraṃ vidyādudayarkṣagate'pi vā

When the lord of the 7th is greatly increased in quality by causes such as exaltation and retrogression, one should know the man to have many wives; and likewise when that lord stands in the rising sign.

भार्याद्वयं वदेत्तत्र लग्नेशे नाशराशिगे । कलत्रे पापसंयुक्ते कुटुम्बेशे तथाविधे

bhāryādvayaṃ vadettatra lagneśe nāśarāśige | kalatre pāpasaṃyukte kuṭumbeśe tathāvidhe

Two wives are to be declared when the lord of the lagna is in the sign of destruction (the 8th), the 7th is joined with malefics, and the lord of the 2nd is in the like condition.

When the kāraka (Venus), the lord of the 7th, the lord of the 2nd and the lord of the lagna are badly placed, standing in debilitation, in an enemy's sign or in a combust navāṃśa, and are with malefics, then fortune is destroyed after marriage.

krūrādiṣaṣṭyaṃśasamanvite'pi tatkārake tādṛśakhecarendre | śubhānvite śobhanadṛṣṭipāte nāśātparaṃ bhāgyamupaiti jātaḥ

Even when the kāraka is joined with a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa and the like, and that chief of planets is so placed, yet if it is joined with benefics and receives a favourable aspect, the native attains fortune after the loss.

क्रूरे कलत्रेशयुते त्रिकोणे तत्कारके पापसमन्विते वा । कुटुम्बराशौ यदि वाऽत्र माने दूरे विवाहात्कथयन्ति सन्तः

putrādilābheṣvayameva mārgastaṃ cintayitvā pravadetsutādīn

This very method applies to the gaining of sons and the rest; having considered it, one should declare about sons and so forth.

When the lord of the 7th is fuller in strength than the lord of the lagna, stands in a benefic navāṃśa with a benefic aspect, in a vaiśeṣikāṃśa or in the division of exact exaltation, then the wife is obtained from a high family.

लग्नेश्वरे हीनबले कलत्रनाथात्सपापे यदि नीचभागे । नाशस्थिते वान्ववरोहभागे कलत्रजाते स्वयमत्र हीनः

lagneśvare hīnabale kalatranāthātsapāpe yadi nīcabhāge | nāśasthite vānvavarohabhāge kalatrajāte svayamatra hīnaḥ

When the lord of the lagna is weaker than the lord of the 7th, is with malefics, in a debilitation division, placed in the 8th, or in a descending division, then the native himself is the inferior of his wife's family.

तस्माद्बलाढ्ये तु विलग्ननाथे त्वारोहभागे परमोच्चभांशे । केन्द्रत्रिकोणे यदि वा ससौम्ये श्रेष्ठः कलत्रात्स्वयमेव जातः

tasmādbalāḍhye tu vilagnanāthe tvārohabhāge paramoccabhāṃśe | kendratrikoṇe yadi vā sasaumye śreṣṭhaḥ kalatrātsvayameva jātaḥ

But when the lord of the lagna is stronger than that, is in an ascending division, in the navāṃśa of exact exaltation, or in a kendra or trine along with benefics, then the native himself is superior to his wife's family.

कलत्रनाथे यदि वा कलत्रराशेः कुटुम्बाधिपतेर्वदेद्वा । बलेन साम्ये समजातिमाहुः स्त्रियं सुशीलां पतिभक्तिचित्ताम्

kalatranāthe yadi vā kalatrarāśeḥ kuṭumbādhipatervadedvā | balena sāmye samajātimāhuḥ striyaṃ suśīlāṃ patibhakticittām

Or one may declare from the lord of the 7th, or from the 7th sign, or from the lord of the 2nd: when they are equal in strength, they say the wife is of an equal caste, of good conduct, and devoted in heart to her husband.

लग्नेश्वरस्यापि कलत्रनाथे शत्रौ तदीयस्त्विह शत्रुभूतः । मित्राणि ते तस्य कुलोद्भवाश्च मित्रे विलग्नाधिपतेस्तदानीम्

lagneśvarasyāpi kalatranāthe śatrau tadīyastviha śatrubhūtaḥ | mitrāṇi te tasya kulodbhavāśca mitre vilagnādhipatestadānīm

If the lord of the 7th is an enemy of the lord of the lagna, then her people become his enemies here; and if it is a friend of the lord of the lagna, then those born in her family become his friends.

दारेश्वरस्यापि विलग्ननाथे शत्रौ तदीयास्त्वरयस्ततोऽन्ये

dāreśvarasyāpi vilagnanāthe śatrau tadīyāstvarayastato'nye

And if the lord of the lagna is an enemy of the lord of the 7th, then his own people become her enemies; with the others it is the other way about.

कलत्राधिपतेर्वर्णं राशेर्वा कारकस्य च । सर्वोत्तमबलस्यैव तेषां मध्ये विनिर्दिशेत्

kalatrādhipatervarṇaṃ rāśervā kārakasya ca | sarvottamabalasyaiva teṣāṃ madhye vinirdiśet

One should declare the wife's complexion from the lord of the 7th, or from the 7th sign, or from the kāraka — from whichever of them is the strongest of all.

सगुणा रूपसम्पन्ना तस्मिन् गुर्वच्छवीक्षिते । पापेक्षिते पापयुते कुरूपा दुर्गुणा भवेत्

saguṇā rūpasampannā tasmin gurvacchavīkṣite | pāpekṣite pāpayute kurūpā durguṇā bhavet

When that planet is aspected by Jupiter and Venus, she is endowed with good qualities and beauty; when aspected by or joined with malefics, she is ill-favoured and of bad qualities.

कलत्रनाथस्थितभं तदीयं राशिं कलत्रस्य विदुर्महान्तः । तस्योच्चनीचं यदि वा कलत्रराशिं तदंशत्रितयं तदीयम्

kalatranāthasthitabhaṃ tadīyaṃ rāśiṃ kalatrasya vidurmahāntaḥ | tasyoccanīcaṃ yadi vā kalatrarāśiṃ tadaṃśatritayaṃ tadīyam

The great teachers hold the sign occupied by the lord of the 7th to be the wife's own sign; or its exaltation or debilitation sign; or the 7th sign itself; or the three navāṃśas belonging to it.

कलत्रराशित्रितयेऽथ वा स्यात्तदीशसंयुक्तभकोणराशौ । कलत्रराशिं समुदाहरन्ति प्रोक्तान्यराशौ यदि नास्ति पुत्रः

kalatrarāśitritaye'tha vā syāttadīśasaṃyuktabhakoṇarāśau | kalatrarāśiṃ samudāharanti proktānyarāśau yadi nāsti putraḥ

Or her sign may be one of the three signs of the 7th, or a sign trinal to the sign occupied by its lord — such they declare the wife's sign to be. If it falls in some sign other than those named, there is no son.

गोसिंहकन्यादिषु जन्मराशिः स्त्रीणाम्भवेज्जन्मनि वाल्पपुत्राः । शुभग्रहैराक्रमितेषु तेषु सुतान्वदेत् तत्र बहून् गुणाढ्यान्

gosiṃhakanyādiṣu janmarāśiḥ strīṇāmbhavejjanmani vālpaputrāḥ | śubhagrahairākramiteṣu teṣu sutānvadet tatra bahūn guṇāḍhyān

If women's birth signs fall in Taurus, Leo, Virgo and the like, they have few sons at birth. But when those signs are occupied by benefic planets, one should declare many sons there, rich in good qualities.

वन्ध्यासङ्गो मदे भानौ चन्द्रे दासीसमाश्रयः । कुजे रजस्वलासङ्गो वन्ध्यासङ्गश्च कीर्तितः

vandhyāsaṅgo made bhānau candre dāsīsamāśrayaḥ | kuje rajasvalāsaṅgo vandhyāsaṅgaśca kīrtitaḥ

With the Sun in the 7th, there is union with a barren woman; with the Moon, resort to a maidservant; with Mars, union with a menstruating woman, and with a barren woman also, so it is declared.

बुधे वेश्यार्थहीना वा वणिक् स्त्री वा प्रकीर्तिता । गुरौ ब्राह्मणभार्या स्याद् गर्भिणीसङ्गमो भृगौ

budhe veśyārthahīnā vā vaṇik strī vā prakīrtitā | gurau brāhmaṇabhāryā syād garbhiṇīsaṅgamo bhṛgau

With Mercury, a courtesan, or a woman without means, or a merchant woman is declared; with Jupiter, a brāhmaṇa's wife; with Venus, union with a pregnant woman.

हीना वा पुष्पिता वा स्यान्मन्दराहुफणीश्वरैः । राहौ च गर्भिणीसङ्गः कृष्णया कुब्जया शनौ

hīnā vā puṣpitā vā syānmandarāhuphaṇīśvaraiḥ | rāhau ca garbhiṇīsaṅgaḥ kṛṣṇayā kubjayā śanau

With Saturn, Rāhu or Ketu, she is of low birth or menstruating; with Rāhu, union with a pregnant woman; with Saturn, union with a dark-complexioned or a hunchbacked woman.

एवं सुखस्थितैरेतैरीदृक् स्त्रीसङ्ग ऊह्यताम् । सूर्याद्यैः सुखगैर्वाच्यं वाहनं गृहनिर्णयः

evaṃ sukhasthitairetairīdṛk strīsaṅga ūhyatām | sūryādyaiḥ sukhagairvācyaṃ vāhanaṃ gṛhanirṇayaḥ

In the same way, union with such women is to be inferred from these planets standing in the 4th. From the Sun and the other planets placed in the 4th house, the conveyance and the determination of the dwelling are to be declared.

वनं गृहञ्च कुड्यं स्याद्विहारो देवतालयम् । जलं हरिगजस्थानमिति स्थाननिरूपणम्

vanaṃ gṛhañca kuḍyaṃ syādvihāro devatālayam | jalaṃ harigajasthānamiti sthānanirūpaṇam

A forest, a house, a wall, a pleasure-garden, a temple, water, the lair of a lion or an elephant — such is the determination of the place.

पापैर्युक्ते चतुष्केन्द्रे चतुष्पान्मैथुनं वदेत् । पापैर्दृष्टेषु सर्वेषु केन्द्रेष्वेवं विनिर्दिशेत्

pāpairyukte catuṣkendre catuṣpānmaithunaṃ vadet | pāpairdṛṣṭeṣu sarveṣu kendreṣvevaṃ vinirdiśet

When the four kendras are occupied by malefics, one should declare intercourse after the manner of quadrupeds; and the same should be declared when all the kendras are aspected by malefics.

केन्द्रे कोणे पापयुते पशुवन्मैथुनं वदेत् । मदे पापान्विते वापि समान्दौ तादृशं वदेत्

kendre koṇe pāpayute paśuvanmaithunaṃ vadet | made pāpānvite vāpi samāndau tādṛśaṃ vadet

When a kendra or a trine is joined with malefics, one should declare intercourse like that of beasts; and likewise when the 7th is joined with malefics or with Māndi.

मदे सूर्ये सुखे भौमे पशुवन्मैथुनं वदेत् । राहौ कलत्रे भौमे वा सुखे तादृशमैथुनम्

made sūrye sukhe bhaume paśuvanmaithunaṃ vadet | rāhau kalatre bhaume vā sukhe tādṛśamaithunam

When the Sun is in the 7th and Mars in the 4th, one should declare intercourse like that of beasts; and likewise when Rāhu is in the 7th, or Mars in the 4th.

मदेशे भृगुसन्दृष्टे भौमक्षेत्रगतेऽथ वा । भृगुणा सहिते वाऽपि भगचुम्बनभाग्भवेत्

madeśe bhṛgusandṛṣṭe bhaumakṣetragate'tha vā | bhṛguṇā sahite vā'pi bhagacumbanabhāgbhavet

When the lord of the 7th is aspected by Venus, or stands in a sign of Mars, or is joined with Venus, the native takes to oral congress (bhaga-cumbana).

एवं कुटुम्बनाथेन भगचुम्बनभाग्भवेत्

evaṃ kuṭumbanāthena bhagacumbanabhāgbhavet

In the same way, through the lord of the 2nd, the native takes to oral congress.

कर्मेशे मन्दसन्दृष्टे भौमक्षेत्रगतेऽथ वा । भृगुणा सहिते वापि भगचुम्बनभाग्भवेत्

karmeśe mandasandṛṣṭe bhaumakṣetragate'tha vā | bhṛguṇā sahite vāpi bhagacumbanabhāgbhavet

When the lord of the 10th is aspected by Saturn, or stands in a sign of Mars, or is joined with Venus, the native takes to oral congress.

लग्नेशे नीचराश्यादौ स्थिते तादृशचुम्बनम् । एवं कुटुम्बनाथेन भगचुम्बनभाग्भवेत्

lagneśe nīcarāśyādau sthite tādṛśacumbanam | evaṃ kuṭumbanāthena bhagacumbanabhāgbhavet

When the lord of the ascendant is placed in a sign of debilitation and the like, the kissing is of that same character; and in the same way, through the lord of the 2nd, the native becomes given to oral contact with the female genitals.

कुजे कृशस्तनी मन्दे राह्वादौ लम्बनस्तनी । काठिन्योर्ध्वकुचा भानौ शेषैः स्थूलोत्तमस्तनी

kuje kṛśastanī mande rāhvādau lambanastanī | kāṭhinyordhvakucā bhānau śeṣaiḥ sthūlottamastanī

With Mars in the 7th the wife's breasts are small; with Saturn, Rāhu and the like, pendulous; with the Sun, firm and high; and with the remaining planets, full and well formed.

पापान्यैकेन सहिते विलक्षणकुचा भवेत् । दारेशे पापखेटे वा शुभे वा तादृशस्तनी

pāpānyaikena sahite vilakṣaṇakucā bhavet | dāreśe pāpakheṭe vā śubhe vā tādṛśastanī

When the 7th is joined by a malefic together with one other planet, the breasts are ill-formed; and according as the lord of the 7th is a malefic or a benefic planet, so are the breasts.

शुभद्वयेन सहिते दारेशेऽपि तथाविधे । समस्तनी भवेत्पत्नी पापयोगेऽन्यथा भवेत्

śubhadvayena sahite dāreśe'pi tathāvidhe | samastanī bhavetpatnī pāpayoge'nyathā bhavet

When the 7th is joined with two benefics and its lord is likewise placed, the wife's breasts are evenly matched; with a malefic conjunction it is otherwise.

अतिस्थूलस्तनी पत्नी सशुभे दारनायके । जलगेहे जलर्क्षस्थे गुरुणापि निरीक्षिते

atisthūlastanī patnī saśubhe dāranāyake | jalagehe jalarkṣasthe guruṇāpi nirīkṣite

The wife's breasts are very full when the lord of the 7th is with a benefic, in a watery house or a watery sign, and is aspected by Jupiter besides.

रवौ वा भूमिपुत्रे वा मन्दमान्द्यगुसंयुते । दाराधिपे पापभागे भगदैर्घ्यं विनिर्दिशेत्

ravau vā bhūmiputre vā mandamāndyagusaṃyute | dārādhipe pāpabhāge bhagadairghyaṃ vinirdiśet

When the lord of the 7th is joined with the Sun, or with Mars, or with Saturn and Gulika, and stands in a malefic division, one should declare the genital passage to be long.

तदीशौ गुरुशुक्रौ वा शुभांशसहितौ यदा । समं भगं भवेत्तस्याः पापयुक्ते तु दीर्घकम्

tadīśau guruśukrau vā śubhāṃśasahitau yadā | samaṃ bhagaṃ bhavettasyāḥ pāpayukte tu dīrghakam

When the lords of that house are Jupiter and Venus, or are accompanied by benefic navāṃśas, her genital passage is of ordinary proportion; but when they are joined with malefics, it is long.

शनिचन्द्रविदां मध्ये यत्रैकस्मिन्मदेश्वरे । ह्रस्वं भगं समादिष्टं स्त्रियामेवं विनिर्दिशेत्

śanicandravidāṃ madhye yatraikasminmadeśvare | hrasvaṃ bhagaṃ samādiṣṭaṃ striyāmevaṃ vinirdiśet

When the lord of the 7th is one among Saturn, the Moon and Mercury, the genital passage is declared to be short. In this way one should determine the matter in the case of a woman.

कलत्रेशे जलर्क्षस्थे कारके वा तथाविधे । जलर्क्षे दारभावे वा पूर्णचन्द्रनिरीक्षिते

kalatreśe jalarkṣasthe kārake vā tathāvidhe | jalarkṣe dārabhāve vā pūrṇacandranirīkṣite

When the lord of the 7th stands in a watery sign, or the kāraka likewise, or when the 7th house is a watery sign aspected by the full Moon —

चन्द्रे जलर्क्षदारस्थे जलस्थभृगुवीक्षिते । जलर्क्षस्थविदा दृष्टे स्त्रीगुह्यस्यार्द्रता भवेत्

candre jalarkṣadārasthe jalasthabhṛguvīkṣite | jalarkṣasthavidā dṛṣṭe strīguhyasyārdratā bhavet

— and when the Moon stands in the 7th in a watery sign, aspected by Venus placed in water, or aspected by Mercury placed in a watery sign, there is moistness of the woman's private parts.

पूर्णे शशाङ्के दारस्थे जलराश्यंशकेऽपि वा । जलस्थगुरुसन्दृष्टे सततन्त्वार्द्रता भवेत्

pūrṇe śaśāṅke dārasthe jalarāśyaṃśake'pi vā | jalasthagurusandṛṣṭe satatantvārdratā bhavet

When the full Moon is in the 7th, or in a watery sign or navāṃśa, and is aspected by Jupiter placed in water, the moistness is continual.

परमोच्चांशके शुक्रे जलराशिगतेऽपि वा । भानुना संयुते वापि मैथुनादेव तादृशम्

paramoccāṃśake śukre jalarāśigate'pi vā | bhānunā saṃyute vāpi maithunādeva tādṛśam

When Venus is in the navāṃśa of its deepest exaltation, or in a watery sign, or joined with the Sun, that same condition arises only at the time of coition.

दारेशे शुष्कराशिस्थे दारे वा शुष्कसंज्ञके । शुष्कग्रहेण संयुक्ते त्वनार्द्रं गुह्यमादिशेत्

dāreśe śuṣkarāśisthe dāre vā śuṣkasaṃjñake | śuṣkagraheṇa saṃyukte tvanārdraṃ guhyamādiśet

When the lord of the 7th stands in a dry sign, or the 7th itself is a sign called dry, and it is joined with a dry planet, one should declare the private parts to be without moisture.

पापक्षेत्रे पापमध्ये दारेशेऽपि तथाविधे । पापदृग्योगसम्पाते त्वनार्द्रगुह्यमादिशेत्

pāpakṣetre pāpamadhye dāreśe'pi tathāvidhe | pāpadṛgyogasampāte tvanārdraguhyamādiśet

When the 7th is in a malefic's sign and hemmed between malefics, and the lord of the 7th is likewise placed, and where the aspect and conjunction of malefics fall together, one should declare the private parts to be without moisture.

सप्तमेशे बुधे दृष्टे गुरुणा बलसंयुते । भुक्तीशेनापि सन्दृष्टे सूपदध्याज्यभाग्भवेत्

saptameśe budhe dṛṣṭe guruṇā balasaṃyute | bhuktīśenāpi sandṛṣṭe sūpadadhyājyabhāgbhavet

When Mercury is lord of the 7th, aspected by Jupiter, endowed with strength, and aspected also by the lord of the 2nd, the man enjoys pulse-soup, curds and ghee.

dārasthe bhṛguputre vā pūrṇacandranirīkṣite | pāpairayukte dṛṣṭe vā sūpadadhyājyabhāgbhavet

Or when Venus stands in the 7th, aspected by the full Moon, and is neither joined with nor aspected by malefics, the man enjoys pulse-soup, curds and ghee.

रवौ वा भूमिपुत्रे वा सप्तमेशे शुभेक्षिते । भुक्तिस्थानगते वापि कदाचिद् दधिसूपभाक्

ravau vā bhūmiputre vā saptameśe śubhekṣite | bhuktisthānagate vāpi kadācid dadhisūpabhāk

When the Sun or Mars is lord of the 7th and is aspected by benefics, or stands in the 2nd house, he enjoys curds and pulse-soup only now and then.

पापे सप्तमभावस्थे तदीशे पापसंयुते । क्रूरषष्ट्यंशके वापि घृतसूपादिहीनभाक्

pāpe saptamabhāvasthe tadīśe pāpasaṃyute | krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśake vāpi ghṛtasūpādihīnabhāk

When a malefic stands in the 7th house, its lord is joined with malefics, or stands in a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, the man goes without ghee, pulse-soup and the like.

चन्द्रे गुरौ वा दारेशे जलराश्यंशसम्भवे । जलग्रहेण वा दृष्टे क्षीरपानादिभाग्भवेत्

bahavaḥ saptame pāpāḥ ṣaṣṭhe vā randhrabhe'pi vā | krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśasaṃyuktā mūtrakṛcchraṃ vinirdiśet

When many malefics stand in the 7th, or in the 6th, or in the 8th, joined with cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśas, one should declare painful and obstructed urination (mūtrakṛcchra).

इति सप्तमभावस्थनिश्चितार्थविचारयुक् । षष्ठाध्यायो मया प्रोक्तो व्यङ्कटेशेन धीमता

iti saptamabhāvasthaniścitārthavicārayuk | ṣaṣṭhādhyāyo mayā prokto vyaṅkaṭeśena dhīmatā

Thus the sixth chapter, containing the settled determination of the matters that belong to the 7th house, has been declared by me, the wise Veṅkaṭeśa.

मरणाज्जीवितमरणं गुह्यस्थानञ्च मरणहेतुञ्च । अन्नसुखं भृतिदंशं परि भवमपि चिन्तयेत्प्राज्ञः

maraṇājjīvitamaraṇaṃ guhyasthānañca maraṇahetuñca | annasukhaṃ bhṛtidaṃśaṃ pari bhavamapi cintayetprājñaḥ

From the 8th house (maraṇa) the wise man should consider life and death, the private parts, the cause of death, food and comfort, hired service, and humiliation.

रन्ध्रेश्वरे पापयुतेऽन्त्यराशावल्पायुरस्येति वदन्ति षष्ठे । तत्रापि लग्नेश्वरयोगजातः स्वल्पायुरस्येति वदन्ति सन्तः

randhreśvare pāpayute'ntyarāśāvalpāyurasyeti vadanti ṣaṣṭhe | tatrāpi lagneśvarayogajātaḥ svalpāyurasyeti vadanti santaḥ

When the lord of the 8th (randhra) is joined with malefics in the twelfth sign, or in the sixth, they say the native is short-lived; and when in that same place there is conjunction with the lord of the lagna as well, the good declare him to be very short-lived.

स्वक्षेत्रसंस्थे यदि रन्ध्रनाथे दीर्घायुराहुर्मुनयो महान्तः । मन्देन वाचिन्त्यविशेषमायुः स्वक्षेत्रमित्रोच्चगृहस्थितेन

svakṣetrasaṃsthe yadi randhranāthe dīrghāyurāhurmunayo mahāntaḥ | mandena vācintyaviśeṣamāyuḥ svakṣetramitroccagṛhasthitena

If the lord of the 8th stands in its own sign, the great sages declare long life. Long life is also to be judged in particular by Saturn's standing in its own sign, in a friend's sign, or in its house of exaltation.

रन्ध्रेश्वरेणापि विलग्ननाथे युते रिपौ वा व्ययराशियुक्ते । षष्ठान्त्यपे वा यदि लग्नयुक्ते दीर्घायुरस्येति शुभेक्षितश्चेत्

randhreśvareṇāpi vilagnanāthe yute ripau vā vyayarāśiyukte | ṣaṣṭhāntyape vā yadi lagnayukte dīrghāyurasyeti śubhekṣitaścet

If the lord of the lagna is joined with the lord of the 8th, or stands in the 6th or in the twelfth sign; or if the lord of the 6th or of the 12th is joined with the lagna — and if it is aspected by benefics — the native has long life.

कर्मेश्वरेणापि विचिन्त्यमायुर्दीर्घं सुहृत्स्वोच्चयुतेन तेन । केन्द्रस्थितैः कर्मविलग्नरन्ध्रनाथैस्तथैवायुरुदाहरन्ति

karmeśvareṇāpi vicintyamāyurdīrghaṃ suhṛtsvoccayutena tena | kendrasthitaiḥ karmavilagnarandhranāthaistathaivāyurudāharanti

Long life is also to be considered from the lord of the 10th (karma) when it stands in a friend's sign or in its own exaltation; and when the lords of the 10th, of the lagna and of the 8th stand in kendras, they declare long life in the same way.

प्रोक्तं ग्रहैर्व्योमचरैस्त्रिभिर्वा सभानुजैः केन्द्रगतैस्तथैव । स्वक्षेत्रकोणादिगतैर्विशेषाद्वदन्ति दीर्घायुरुदारचित्ताः

proktaṃ grahairvyomacaraistribhirvā sabhānujaiḥ kendragataistathaiva | svakṣetrakoṇādigatairviśeṣādvadanti dīrghāyurudāracittāḥ

The same is said of three grahas in the sky together with Saturn (bhānuja) when they stand in kendras; and when they stand in their own signs, in trikoṇas and the like, the noble-minded declare long life in particular.

केन्द्रान्विते विलग्नेशे गुरुशुक्रसमन्विते । ताभ्यां निरीक्षिते वापि दीर्घमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

When the caturasra houses (the 4th and the 8th) are joined with benefics, the lord of the lagna is joined with benefics, and there is the aspect and conjunction of Jupiter, one should declare a full life.

त्रिषडाय गताः पापाः शुभाः केन्द्रत्रिकोणगाः । लग्नेशे बलसंयुक्ते पूर्णमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

triṣaḍāya gatāḥ pāpāḥ śubhāḥ kendratrikoṇagāḥ | lagneśe balasaṃyukte pūrṇamāyurvinirdiśet

Malefics in the 3rd, 6th and 11th (triṣaḍāya), benefics in kendras and trikoṇas, and the lord of the lagna endowed with strength — one should declare a full life.

षट्सप्तरन्ध्रभावेषु शुभेषु सहितेषु च । त्रिषडायेषु पापेषु पूर्णमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

ṣaṭsaptarandhrabhāveṣu śubheṣu sahiteṣu ca | triṣaḍāyeṣu pāpeṣu pūrṇamāyurvinirdiśet

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

When the lord of the 8th stands in the lagna joined with or aspected by Jupiter and Venus, and the lord of the lagna is in a kendra, one should declare long life.

उच्चाश्रितैः त्रिभिः खेटैः लग्ने रन्ध्रेशसंयुते । रन्ध्रे पापविहीने तु दीर्घमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

With three grahas standing in exaltation, the lagna joined with the lord of the 8th, and the 8th free of malefics, one should declare long life.

रन्ध्रस्थितैः त्रिभिः खेटैः स्वोच्चमित्रस्वगेहगैः । लग्नेशे बलसंयुक्ते दीर्घमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

randhrasthitaiḥ tribhiḥ kheṭaiḥ svoccamitrasvagehagaiḥ | lagneśe balasaṃyukte dīrghamāyurvinirdiśet

With three grahas standing in the 8th in their own exaltation, in a friend's sign or in their own house, and the lord of the lagna endowed with strength, one should declare long life.

पारावतादिभागस्थाः पापाः सर्वे शुभास्तथा । केन्द्रत्रिकोणनिलयाः पूर्णमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

pārāvatādibhāgasthāḥ pāpāḥ sarve śubhāstathā | kendratrikoṇanilayāḥ pūrṇamāyurvinirdiśet

When all the malefics and the benefics alike stand in the pārāvata and other [high] divisions, and occupy kendras and trikoṇas, one should declare a full life.

षष्ठाष्टमे व्यये पापे लग्नेशे दुर्बले यदि । अल्पायुरनपत्यो वा शुभदृग्योगवर्जिते

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame vyaye pāpe lagneśe durbale yadi | alpāyuranapatyo vā śubhadṛgyogavarjite

If malefics stand in the 6th, the 8th and the 12th and the lord of the lagna is weak and without benefic aspect or conjunction, the native is short-lived, or else childless.

यदि मन्दो भवेल्लग्ने शुभदृग्योगवर्जिते । अस्मिन्योगे तु सञ्जातो अल्पायुः कुलनाशनः

yadi mando bhavellagne śubhadṛgyogavarjite | asminyoge tu sañjāto alpāyuḥ kulanāśanaḥ

If Saturn stands in the lagna without benefic aspect or conjunction, one born under this yoga is short-lived and the destroyer of his family.

चतुष्टयगते पापे शुभदृष्टिविवर्जिते । बलहीने विलग्नेशे त्वल्पमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

catuṣṭayagate pāpe śubhadṛṣṭivivarjite | balahīne vilagneśe tvalpamāyurvinirdiśet

When a malefic stands in a kendra (catuṣṭaya) devoid of benefic aspect, and the lord of the lagna is without strength, one should declare a short life.

व्ययार्थौ पापसंयुक्तौ शुभदृष्टिविवर्जितौ । क्रूरषष्ट्यंशके वापि स्वल्पमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

vyayārthau pāpasaṃyuktau śubhadṛṣṭivivarjitau | krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśake vāpi svalpamāyurvinirdiśet

When the 12th (vyaya) and the 2nd (artha) are joined with malefics and devoid of benefic aspect, or fall in a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, one should declare a very short life.

आयुर्योगास्त्रिधा प्रोक्ताः स्वल्पमध्यचिरायुषः । द्वात्रिंशत् पूर्वमल्पायुः मध्यमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

āyuryogāstridhā proktāḥ svalpamadhyacirāyuṣaḥ | dvātriṃśat pūrvamalpāyuḥ madhyamāyurvinirdiśet

The yogas of longevity are declared to be of three kinds — short, middling and long. Up to thirty-two is short life; beyond that one should declare middling life.

सप्तत्याः प्राक्ततः पूर्णमायुरत्र वदन्ति हि । अल्पायुर्दिननाथस्य शत्रुर्लग्नाधिपो यदि

saptatyāḥ prāktataḥ pūrṇamāyuratra vadanti hi | alpāyurdinanāthasya śatrurlagnādhipo yadi

Up to seventy [is middling]; beyond that they declare here a full life. If the lord of the lagna is an enemy of the Sun (the lord of the day), the life is short.

समत्वे मध्यमायुः स्यान्मित्रे दीर्घायुरादिशेत् । बलहीने विलग्नेशे जीवे केन्द्रत्रिकोणगे

samatve madhyamāyuḥ syānmitre dīrghāyurādiśet | balahīne vilagneśe jīve kendratrikoṇage

If they are neutral, the life is middling; if friendly, one should declare long life. When the lord of the lagna is without strength, and Jupiter is in a kendra or trikoṇa —

षष्ठाष्टमव्यये पापे मध्यमायुरुदाहृतम् । शुभे केन्द्रत्रिकोणस्थे शनौ बलसमन्विते

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamavyaye pāpe madhyamāyurudāhṛtam | śubhe kendratrikoṇasthe śanau balasamanvite

— and malefics stand in the 6th, 8th and 12th, a middling life is declared. When benefics stand in kendras and trikoṇas, and Saturn is endowed with strength —

षष्ठे वाऽप्यष्टमे पापे मध्यमायुरुदाहृतम् । लग्ने त्रिकोणे केन्द्रे वा मध्यमायुश्च मिश्रिते

ṣaṣṭhe vā'pyaṣṭame pāpe madhyamāyurudāhṛtam | lagne trikoṇe kendre vā madhyamāyuśca miśrite

— and a malefic stands in the 6th or in the 8th, a middling life is declared. And when [benefics and malefics] are mixed in the lagna, in a trikoṇa or in a kendra, the life is likewise middling.

अल्पायुर्योगजातानां विपत्पाको मृतिप्रदः । मध्यमे प्रत्यरिदशा मृतिं दद्याद्विशेषतः

alpāyuryogajātānāṃ vipatpāko mṛtipradaḥ | madhyame pratyaridaśā mṛtiṃ dadyādviśeṣataḥ

For those born under short-life yogas, the ripening of the vipat daśā brings death; for those of middling life, the pratyari daśā gives death in particular.

वधभेशदशा कष्टा पूर्णायुर्योगसंज्ञके । योगायुरिति निश्चित्य जातस्यैवं वदेद्बुधः

vadhabheśadaśā kaṣṭā pūrṇāyuryogasaṃjñake | yogāyuriti niścitya jātasyaivaṃ vadedbudhaḥ

For one who has what is called a full-life yoga, the daśā of the lord of the vadha nakṣatra is severe. Having thus determined the longevity given by the yoga, the wise man should declare it for the native in this way.

आयुर्विलग्नाधिपती बलेन हीनौ धरासूनुव्रणेशयुक्तौ । युद्धे मृतिं तस्य वदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः शस्त्रेण वा तन्मरणं विशेषात्

āyurvilagnādhipatī balena hīnau dharāsūnuvraṇeśayuktau | yuddhe mṛtiṃ tasya vadanti tajjñāḥ śastreṇa vā tanmaraṇaṃ viśeṣāt

When the lords of the 8th (āyus) and of the lagna are without strength and are joined with Mars, the son of the earth, and with the lord of the 6th (vraṇa), those who know the subject declare his death in battle, or, more particularly, his death by a weapon.

रन्ध्राङ्गनाथौ यदि वा रिपुस्थौ राह्वन्वितौ केतुयुतौ समन्दौ । तद्भुक्तिकालेऽप्यथ वाऽपि पाके शस्त्रेण चौरैर्मरणं प्रयाति

randhrāṅganāthau yadi vā ripusthau rāhvanvitau ketuyutau samandau | tadbhuktikāle'pyatha vā'pi pāke śastreṇa caurairmaraṇaṃ prayāti

If the lords of the 8th and of the lagna stand in the 6th, or are joined with Rāhu, with Ketu or with Saturn, then in their sub-period, or even in their major period, he meets death by a weapon or at the hands of thieves.

रन्ध्राङ्गपौ वाहननाथयुक्तौ तस्मान् मृतिं तस्य वदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः । मृतिं त्वजीर्णाद् गुरुसंयुतौ तौ देहेशजीवौ रिपुगावजीर्णात्

randhrāṅgapau vāhananāthayuktau tasmān mṛtiṃ tasya vadanti tajjñāḥ | mṛtiṃ tvajīrṇād gurusaṃyutau tau deheśajīvau ripugāvajīrṇāt

If the lords of the 8th and of the lagna are joined with the lord of the 4th (vāhana), those who know declare his death from that cause; if those two are joined with Jupiter, death from indigestion; and if the lord of the body and Jupiter stand in the 6th, death likewise from indigestion.

लग्नेश्वरे वाहननाथयुक्ते वागीश्वरेणापि युते त्वजीर्णात् । देहेश्वरे वाहनवित्तभावनाथान्विते वा मरणं त्वजीर्णात्

lagneśvare vāhananāthayukte vāgīśvareṇāpi yute tvajīrṇāt | deheśvare vāhanavittabhāvanāthānvite vā maraṇaṃ tvajīrṇāt

When the lord of the lagna is joined with the lord of the 4th (vāhana) and also with Jupiter (Vāgīśvara), death comes from indigestion; and when the lord of the body is joined with the lords of the 4th and of the 2nd (vitta), death likewise comes from indigestion.

रन्ध्रेशयोगान्मरणं दशायामन्तर्दशायामथवा वदन्ति । पित्रादिभावाधिपयोगदृष्ट्या पित्रादिकानां मरणं तथैव

randhreśayogānmaraṇaṃ daśāyāmantardaśāyāmathavā vadanti | pitrādibhāvādhipayogadṛṣṭyā pitrādikānāṃ maraṇaṃ tathaiva

From conjunction with the lord of the 8th they declare death in the daśā, or else in the antardaśā; and by the conjunction and aspect of the lords of the houses of the father and the rest, the death of the father and the rest is declared in the same way.

भुक्त्यङ्गपौ भानुसुतेन युक्तौ दुःस्थानगौ वा विषभक्षणेन । राहुध्वजाभ्यां सहितौ च दुःस्थावुद्बन्धनात्तस्य मृतिं वदन्ति

bhuktyaṅgapau bhānusutena yuktau duḥsthānagau vā viṣabhakṣaṇena | rāhudhvajābhyāṃ sahitau ca duḥsthāvudbandhanāttasya mṛtiṃ vadanti

If the two lords concerned are joined with Saturn, the Sun's son, or stand in evil houses, they declare his death by the eating of poison; and if the two are joined with Rāhu and Ketu (the banner) and stand in evil houses, they declare his death by hanging.

षष्ठेश्वरे भानुसुते सराहौ केतौ मृगाद्भीतिमुदाहरन्ति । जीवेन युक्ते गजभीतिमस्य जातस्य चन्द्रेण युतेऽश्वभीतिम्

ṣaṣṭheśvare bhānusute sarāhau ketau mṛgādbhītimudāharanti | jīvena yukte gajabhītimasya jātasya candreṇa yute'śvabhītim

If the lord of the 6th is Saturn together with Rāhu, or Ketu, they declare fear from wild beasts; joined with Jupiter, fear from an elephant; and joined with the Moon, fear from a horse for the person born.

सूर्यान्विते तादृशभानुपुत्रे मृगात् सशृङ्गाच्छुनकात्सभौमे । षष्ठस्थिते भानुसुतेऽपि चैवं विना स्वतुङ्गस्वगृहञ्च खेटे

sūryānvite tādṛśabhānuputre mṛgāt saśṛṅgācchunakātsabhaume | ṣaṣṭhasthite bhānusute'pi caivaṃ vinā svatuṅgasvagṛhañca kheṭe

When such a Saturn is joined with the Sun, the fear is from a deer, or from a horned beast; joined with Mars, from a dog. It is the same when Saturn stands in the sixth — provided the planet is not in its own exaltation or its own house.

सुखेशभाग्येशविलग्ननाथाः त्रिकोणगाः केन्द्रगताश्च सर्वे । भुक्तौ यदा तत्परिपाककाले पित्रा सहैवानुमृतिं च मातुः

sukheśabhāgyeśavilagnanāthāḥ trikoṇagāḥ kendragatāśca sarve | bhuktau yadā tatparipākakāle pitrā sahaivānumṛtiṃ ca mātuḥ

When the lords of the 4th, of the 9th and of the lagna all stand in trines or in kendras, then in the bhukti, at the time of its ripening, the mother's death follows immediately upon the father's.

रन्ध्रे शशाङ्के फणिनाथयुक्ते हीने त्वपस्मारयुतः समन्दे । तत्र स्थिते हीनबले शशाङ्के पिशाचपीडा जलजा च पीडा

randhre śaśāṅke phaṇināthayukte hīne tvapasmārayutaḥ samande | tatra sthite hīnabale śaśāṅke piśācapīḍā jalajā ca pīḍā

If the Moon is in the 8th joined with Rāhu, the lord of serpents, and is weak, and Saturn is with it, the man is subject to epilepsy; and if the Moon standing there is deficient in strength, there is affliction by piśācas and affliction arising from water.

भौमाहिमन्दान्यतमेन युक्ते क्षीणे शशाङ्के निधनस्थितेऽपि । दुःस्थे त्वपस्मारभयान्मृतिः स्यात् पिशाचबाधा त्वथ वा मृतिः स्यात्

bhaumāhimandānyatamena yukte kṣīṇe śaśāṅke nidhanasthite'pi | duḥsthe tvapasmārabhayānmṛtiḥ syāt piśācabādhā tvatha vā mṛtiḥ syāt

If the waning Moon is joined with any one of Mars, Rāhu and Saturn and stands in the 8th, or in another evil house, death would come from the terror of epilepsy, or there is torment by piśācas, or else death.

रन्ध्रे सराहौ यदि वा सकेतौ चातुर्थिकात्पीडनमाहुरस्य । रन्ध्रेश्वरेणापि युते तथैकं क्रूरादिषष्ट्यंशयुतेऽति सत्यम्

randhre sarāhau yadi vā saketau cāturthikātpīḍanamāhurasya | randhreśvareṇāpi yute tathaikaṃ krūrādiṣaṣṭyaṃśayute'ti satyam

If the 8th holds Rāhu or Ketu, they declare his affliction by quartan fever; and if it is joined with the lord of the 8th as well, likewise; and when it is joined with a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, this is very certain.

नीचस्थिते वासरनायके वा षष्ठाष्टमस्थे यदि पापदृष्टे । राज्ञां प्रकोपान्मरणं पितुश्च तत्पीडया वित्तविनाशमेति

nīcasthite vāsaranāyake vā ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamasthe yadi pāpadṛṣṭe | rājñāṃ prakopānmaraṇaṃ pituśca tatpīḍayā vittavināśameti

If the Sun, the lord of the day, is debilitated, or stands in the 6th or the 8th and is aspected by malefics, the father dies through the anger of kings, and through that affliction the man loses his wealth.

लग्नाच्छुभे कर्मणि भूमिपुत्रे पापेक्षिते मातुलमृत्युमाहुः । मन्देन युक्ते यदि पुत्रमृत्युं चन्द्रे हि तन्मातृमृतिं सपापे

lagnācchubhe karmaṇi bhūmiputre pāpekṣite mātulamṛtyumāhuḥ | mandena yukte yadi putramṛtyuṃ candre hi tanmātṛmṛtiṃ sapāpe

If Mars stands in an auspicious 10th house from the lagna and is aspected by malefics, they declare the death of the maternal uncle; if it is joined with Saturn, the death of a son; and if the Moon is there with a malefic, the death of that child's mother.

पितुर्मृतिः वासरनायकेऽत्र नसंशयः पापदृशा समेते । पापद्वयेनापि युतौ विलग्ननिशाकरौ मृत्युमुपैति बालः

piturmṛtiḥ vāsaranāyake'tra nasaṃśayaḥ pāpadṛśā samete | pāpadvayenāpi yutau vilagnaniśākarau mṛtyumupaiti bālaḥ

The father's death follows when the Sun here is aspected by malefics — of that there is no doubt. And when both the lagna and the Moon are joined with two malefics, the child meets with death.

ग्रस्ते शशाङ्के परिवेषयुक्ते पापेक्षिते वा मरणञ्च सद्यः । त्वष्टार्यतोयेषु विलग्नचन्द्रे जातः सवित्रीसुतमातुलांश्च

graste śaśāṅke pariveṣayukte pāpekṣite vā maraṇañca sadyaḥ | tvaṣṭāryatoyeṣu vilagnacandre jātaḥ savitrīsutamātulāṃśca

If the Moon is eclipsed, or encircled by a halo, or aspected by malefics, death comes at once. If the lagna and the Moon fall in Citrā, Uttara Phalgunī and Pūrvāṣāḍhā, the person born destroys his mother, his son and his maternal uncles —

पादाक्रमेणापि निहन्ति तांस्तु शुभैस्तु दृष्टे सहिते न दोषः । लाभे शुभे वा यदि मन्दभौमौ फणीन्द्रयुक्तौ पितुरस्त्यपायः

pādākrameṇāpi nihanti tāṃstu śubhaistu dṛṣṭe sahite na doṣaḥ | lābhe śubhe vā yadi mandabhaumau phaṇīndrayuktau piturastyapāyaḥ

— he destroys them even by the tread of his foot. But if it is aspected by or joined with benefics there is no defect. If Saturn and Mars, joined with Rāhu, stand in the 11th or in an auspicious house, the father meets destruction.

पापेक्षिते भूमिसुते कलत्रे जातः स मृत्युं समुपैति रन्ध्रे । सोत्थे धरासूनुयुते सपापे पापेक्षिते सोदरनाशमाहुः

pāpekṣite bhūmisute kalatre jātaḥ sa mṛtyuṃ samupaiti randhre | sotthe dharāsūnuyute sapāpe pāpekṣite sodaranāśamāhuḥ

If Mars is in the 7th aspected by malefics, the person born meets with death when it comes to the 8th. And if Mars stands in that same house joined with malefics and aspected by malefics, they declare the destruction of brothers.

अस्ते शशाङ्के यदि मातृमृत्युं पापान्विते पापदृशा समेते । भानौ पितुर्मृत्युमुदाहरन्ति मन्दारशुक्रैः सहिते सुतस्य

aste śaśāṅke yadi mātṛmṛtyuṃ pāpānvite pāpadṛśā samete | bhānau piturmṛtyumudāharanti mandāraśukraiḥ sahite sutasya

If the Moon is in the 7th joined with malefics and aspected by malefics, they declare the mother's death; if the Sun is so placed, the father's death; and if it is joined with Saturn, Mars and Venus, the death of a son.

तृतीयषष्ठस्थितखेचरेन्द्रैः पापग्रहैरन्त्यगतैश्च सौम्यैः । शिशोर्मृतिं वा कुमुदात्मबन्धौ चतुर्थरन्ध्रस्थितपापखेटैः

tṛtīyaṣaṣṭhasthitakhecarendraiḥ pāpagrahairantyagataiśca saumyaiḥ | śiśormṛtiṃ vā kumudātmabandhau caturtharandhrasthitapāpakheṭaiḥ

With malefic planets standing in the 3rd and the 6th and benefics in the 12th, there is the death of the infant; or when the Moon, the friend of the night-lotus, stands with malefic planets placed in the 4th and the 8th.

लग्नेऽर्कचन्द्रौ व्ययगास्तु पापाः शिशोर्मृतिं शोभनदृष्ट्यभावे । अस्ते रवौ चन्द्रयुते विलग्ने पापान्विते तत्सुतमृत्युमाहुः

lagne'rkacandrau vyayagāstu pāpāḥ śiśormṛtiṃ śobhanadṛṣṭyabhāve | aste ravau candrayute vilagne pāpānvite tatsutamṛtyumāhuḥ

The Sun and the Moon in the lagna with malefics in the 12th bring the death of the infant, if benefic aspect is wanting. If the Sun is in the 7th and the lagna holds the Moon joined with malefics, they declare the death of his son.

दिनेशचन्द्रौ व्ययगौ तदानीमन्धो भवेत्सौम्यदृशा विहीनौ । युक्ते तयोरन्यतरेण रिष्फे काणो भवेत्सौम्यदृशा विहीने

dineśacandrau vyayagau tadānīmandho bhavetsaumyadṛśā vihīnau | yukte tayoranyatareṇa riṣphe kāṇo bhavetsaumyadṛśā vihīne

If the Sun and the Moon are both in the 12th and devoid of benefic aspect, the man is then blind; and if the 12th is joined with either one of them alone and is devoid of benefic aspect, he is one-eyed.

दिनेशचन्द्रौ व्ययगौ तदीशे लग्नस्थिते देहविनाशमाहुः । सुरेश्वरे रन्ध्रगते व्यये वा पापान्विते पापदृशा समेते

dineśacandrau vyayagau tadīśe lagnasthite dehavināśamāhuḥ | sureśvare randhragate vyaye vā pāpānvite pāpadṛśā samete

If the Sun and the Moon are in the 12th and its lord is in the lagna, they declare the destruction of the body; and likewise if Jupiter, the lord of the gods, stands in the 8th or the 12th joined with malefics and aspected by malefics.

लग्नाधिपे पूर्णबले सुखेशभाग्येश्वरौ नाशगतौ विहीनौ । जातस्य जन्मावसरे तदानीं पितुश्च मातुर्निधनं वदन्ति

lagnādhipe pūrṇabale sukheśabhāgyeśvarau nāśagatau vihīnau | jātasya janmāvasare tadānīṃ pituśca māturnidhanaṃ vadanti

If the lord of the lagna is full of strength while the lords of the 4th and the 9th are in the house of destruction and devoid of strength, they declare the death of the father and of the mother at the very time of the person's birth.

दुःस्थे तृतीयाधिपतौ सचन्द्रे स्तन्यं परस्त्रीषु पिबेत्स बालः । तातेशतत्कारकखेचरेन्द्रौ दुःस्थौ तयोः पुत्रसुखं न दृष्टम्

duḥsthe tṛtīyādhipatau sacandre stanyaṃ parastrīṣu pibetsa bālaḥ | tāteśatatkārakakhecarendrau duḥsthau tayoḥ putrasukhaṃ na dṛṣṭam

If the lord of the 3rd is in an evil house together with the Moon, the child will drink milk at the breasts of other women. If the lord of the father's house and the planet that is its kāraka are both in evil houses, no joy of a son is seen for the parents.

केन्द्रे त्रिकोणे यदि तौ विहङ्गौ वदेत्तयोः पुत्रसुखं त्वभीष्टम् । पितुर्निशायां मरणं वदन्ति भाग्येशसूर्याऽर्कसुताः क्षतस्थाः

kendre trikoṇe yadi tau vihaṅgau vadettayoḥ putrasukhaṃ tvabhīṣṭam | piturniśāyāṃ maraṇaṃ vadanti bhāgyeśasūryā'rkasutāḥ kṣatasthāḥ

If those two planets are in a kendra or a trine, one should declare for the parents the joy of a son that they desire. And if the lord of the 9th, the Sun and Saturn stand in wounded places, they declare that the father dies by night.

षष्ठेश्वरेणापि युतास्तथैव चन्द्रेण हीनास्तु दिवा मृतिः स्यात् । सुखस्थितैः खेचरनायकैर्वा मातुर्मृतिः स्यादयने तु तस्मिन्

ṣaṣṭheśvareṇāpi yutāstathaiva candreṇa hīnāstu divā mṛtiḥ syāt | sukhasthitaiḥ khecaranāyakairvā māturmṛtiḥ syādayane tu tasmin

So too when they are joined with the lord of the 6th; but when they are without the Moon, death would occur by day. Or if the chief planets are placed in the 4th, the mother's death occurs within that ayana.

नो चेत्तदीशान्वितराशिकाले मातुर्मृतिः स्यादयने च तस्मिन् । द्वित्र्यादियोगादयनं हि तत्र व्यत्यासतो वा प्रवदन्ति सन्तः

no cettadīśānvitarāśikāle māturmṛtiḥ syādayane ca tasmin | dvitryādiyogādayanaṃ hi tatra vyatyāsato vā pravadanti santaḥ

If not so, the mother's death occurs in the period of the sign joined with its lord, and within that ayana. There the ayana is settled by the combination of two, three and so on, or else by the reverse — so the good declare.

नाशे चरे वा पितृभावनाथे दूरस्थितस्तज्जनकोऽपि वाच्यः । स्थिरोभयस्थे पितृभावनाथे समीपतस्तज्जनकः स्थितः स्यात्

nāśe care vā pitṛbhāvanāthe dūrasthitastajjanako'pi vācyaḥ | sthirobhayasthe pitṛbhāvanāthe samīpatastajjanakaḥ sthitaḥ syāt

If the lord of the father's house is in the house of destruction, or in a movable sign, his father should be described as living far away; if the lord of the father's house is in a fixed or a dual sign, his father lives near at hand.

केन्द्रे चरेऽर्के यदि वा शशाङ्के सुतो दहेत्तत्पितरौ न तत्र । द्विदेहराशौ यदि तौ च केन्द्रे तयोर्मृतिं वा दहने विकाले

kendre care'rke yadi vā śaśāṅke suto dahettatpitarau na tatra | dvideharāśau yadi tau ca kendre tayormṛtiṃ vā dahane vikāle

If the Sun or the Moon is in a movable sign in a kendra, the son does not cremate his parents in that place; and if those two are in a dual sign in a kendra, their death, or their cremation, falls at an unseasonable time.

बलेन युक्ते पितृभावनाथे शशाङ्कदेहेशचतुर्थनाथाः । बलेन हीना यदि तज्जनन्यां गाढां विपत्तिं समुदाहरन्ति

balena yukte pitṛbhāvanāthe śaśāṅkadeheśacaturthanāthāḥ | balena hīnā yadi tajjananyāṃ gāḍhāṃ vipattiṃ samudāharanti

If the lord of the father's house is endowed with strength, but the Moon, the lord of the body and the lord of the 4th are devoid of strength, they declare a grave calamity for his mother.

रन्ध्रे तु पापबाहुल्ये गुह्यरोगं विनिर्दिशेत् । शुभग्रहेण सन्दृष्टे न दोषं तत्र निर्दिशेत्

randhre tu pāpabāhulye guhyarogaṃ vinirdiśet | śubhagraheṇa sandṛṣṭe na doṣaṃ tatra nirdiśet

When there is a great number of malefics in the 8th, one should declare disease of the private parts; but if it is aspected by a benefic planet, one should declare no defect there.

रन्ध्रे शुभेक्षिते तेन संयुते चेत्सुखं भवेत् । स्थूलान्नं पापसम्बन्धे मृद्वन्नं शुभसंयुते

randhre śubhekṣite tena saṃyute cetsukhaṃ bhavet | sthūlānnaṃ pāpasambandhe mṛdvannaṃ śubhasaṃyute

If the 8th is aspected by a benefic and joined with it, there is comfort. With a malefic connection the man's food is coarse; with a benefic conjunction it is soft and delicate.

रन्ध्रेशे पापसंयुक्ते पापदृष्टे तदन्तरे । पापक्षेत्रेऽथ वा रन्ध्रे जातः परिभवान्वितः

randhreśe pāpasaṃyukte pāpadṛṣṭe tadantare | pāpakṣetre'tha vā randhre jātaḥ paribhavānvitaḥ

If the lord of the 8th is joined with malefics and aspected by malefics in that period, or if the 8th itself is a malefic's sign, the person born is subject to humiliation.

शुभग्रहाणां सम्बन्धे रन्ध्रे परिभवो न हि । चरे रन्ध्रे मृतिर्दूरे तदीशे चरराशिगे

śubhagrahāṇāṃ sambandhe randhre paribhavo na hi | care randhre mṛtirdūre tadīśe cararāśige

When the 8th has a connection with benefics, there is no humiliation. If the 8th is a movable sign and its lord too stands in a movable sign, death takes place far from home.

शनौ वा चरराशिस्थे चरांशस्थे तथा भवेत् । स्थिरे रन्ध्रे तदीशेऽपि स्थिरराशौ तदंशके

śanau vā cararāśisthe carāṃśasthe tathā bhavet | sthire randhre tadīśe'pi sthirarāśau tadaṃśake

Or, when Saturn stands in a movable sign and in a movable aṃśa, the same follows. If the eighth house (randhra) is a fixed sign, and its lord too stands in a fixed sign and in the division of one —

शनौ वा स्थिरराश्यंशे स्वगृहे मरणं भवेत् । रन्ध्रे द्विदेहराश्यादौ मार्गे मरणमादिशेत्

śanau vā sthirarāśyaṃśe svagṛhe maraṇaṃ bhavet | randhre dvideharāśyādau mārge maraṇamādiśet

— or if Saturn stands in a fixed sign or in the division of one, death takes place in one's own house. If the eighth is a dual sign and the like, one should declare death upon the road.

शुभभवनाद्गुरुभाग्यं पितृपौत्रदयातपः प्राप्तिम् । ऊरुस्थानं स्वान्तं सहभोक्तृन्दानयोगमपि विद्यात्

śubhabhavanādgurubhāgyaṃ pitṛpautradayātapaḥ prāptim | ūrusthānaṃ svāntaṃ sahabhoktṛndānayogamapi vidyāt

From the ninth house (the śubha-bhavana) one should know the guru and fortune, the father, grandsons, compassion, austerity and acquisition; the region of the thighs, one's inner mind, the eating of food in company, and the practice of giving.

चिन्तनीया गुरुस्वामिपितृभाग्यादिमातुलाः । नवमे स्वामिसौम्याढ्ये शुभा एतेऽन्यथाशुभाः

cintanīyā gurusvāmipitṛbhāgyādimātulāḥ | navame svāmisaumyāḍhye śubhā ete'nyathāśubhāḥ

From the ninth are to be considered the preceptor, the master, the father, fortune and the rest, and the maternal uncle. When the ninth is furnished with its own lord and with benefics, these are auspicious; otherwise they are inauspicious.

चन्द्रे सपापे यदि धर्मराशौ भृगोः सुते वा गुरुदारगामी । धर्माधिपे तादृशखेचरेण युते सपापे गुरुदारगामी

candre sapāpe yadi dharmarāśau bhṛgoḥ sute vā gurudāragāmī | dharmādhipe tādṛśakhecareṇa yute sapāpe gurudāragāmī

If the Moon accompanied by a malefic stands in the ninth sign, or Venus, the son of Bhṛgu, is there, the man goes to his preceptor's wife; and if the lord of the ninth is joined with such a planet and with a malefic, he goes to his preceptor's wife.

धर्माधिपस्थांशपतौ तथैव युक्ते तदा तादृशदारगामी । धर्माधिपे नीचगते तदंशे शुक्रेण युक्ते गुरुदारगामी

dharmādhipasthāṃśapatau tathaiva yukte tadā tādṛśadāragāmī | dharmādhipe nīcagate tadaṃśe śukreṇa yukte gurudāragāmī

When the lord of the division occupied by the lord of the ninth is joined in the same way, he goes to such a woman; and when the lord of the ninth is in debilitation and its division is joined with Venus, he goes to his preceptor's wife.

क्षीणे निशीशे त्वथ वा तदंशे शुक्रे तथैवं गुरुदारगामी

kṣīṇe niśīśe tvatha vā tadaṃśe śukre tathaivaṃ gurudāragāmī

When the Moon, the lord of night, is waning, or when Venus stands in its division, in the same way he goes to his preceptor's wife.

धर्मेश्वरे सौम्ययुते तदंशे वैशेषिकांशे त्वथ वा तदीशे । क्रूरादिषष्ट्यंशविवर्जिते स्याज्जातस्तु धर्मे दृढबुद्धियुक्तः

dharmeśvare saumyayute tadaṃśe vaiśeṣikāṃśe tvatha vā tadīśe | krūrādiṣaṣṭyaṃśavivarjite syājjātastu dharme dṛḍhabuddhiyuktaḥ

When the lord of the ninth is joined with a benefic, or the lord of its division stands in a vaiśeṣika division, and it is free from cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśas and the like, the man born is firm of mind in dharma.

गुरौ वा भृगुपुत्रे वा स्वोच्चमित्रांशके शुभे । धर्माधिपे बलयुते धर्माध्यक्षो नरो भवेत्

gurau vā bhṛguputre vā svoccamitrāṃśake śubhe | dharmādhipe balayute dharmādhyakṣo naro bhavet

When Jupiter or Venus, the son of Bhṛgu, stands in its own exaltation or in a friend's division and is well placed, and the lord of the ninth is endowed with strength, the man becomes a superintendent of religious affairs.

गुरुशुक्रबुधांशस्थे धर्मनाथे शुभेक्षिते । शुभग्रहाणां मध्यस्थे धर्मभाक्स नरो भवेत्

guruśukrabudhāṃśasthe dharmanāthe śubhekṣite | śubhagrahāṇāṃ madhyasthe dharmabhāksa naro bhavet

When the lord of the ninth stands in the division of Jupiter, Venus or Mercury, is aspected by benefics, and stands in the midst of benefic planets, that man becomes a partaker of dharma.

सौम्यान्विते धर्मगृहे तस्मिन् पापांशसंयुते । क्रूरषष्ट्यंशके वापि दम्भाद् धर्मपरिग्रहः

saumyānvite dharmagṛhe tasmin pāpāṃśasaṃyute | krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśake vāpi dambhād dharmaparigrahaḥ

When the ninth house is joined with a benefic but that benefic stands in a malefic division, or in a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, his taking up of dharma is out of hypocrisy.

नाथकारकभावानामंशे शुभसमन्विते । शुभांशे शुभसन्दृष्टे शुचितो धर्मसंयुतः

nāthakārakabhāvānāmaṃśe śubhasamanvite | śubhāṃśe śubhasandṛṣṭe śucito dharmasaṃyutaḥ

When the divisions of the lord, of the kāraka and of the house itself are joined with benefics, and it stands in a benefic division well aspected by benefics, he is pure and possessed of dharma.

धर्मे पापे पापभाक्स्यात्तदीशे पापसंयुते । क्रूरषष्ट्यंशके वापि पापमध्यगतेऽथ वा

dharme pāpe pāpabhāksyāttadīśe pāpasaṃyute | krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśake vāpi pāpamadhyagate'tha vā

If a malefic stands in the ninth, he becomes a partaker of sin; likewise if its lord is joined with malefics, or stands in a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, or in the midst of malefics.

राहुमन्दयुते धर्मे क्रूरांशे गुलिकेक्षिते । तदीशे क्रूरराश्यंशे त्वतिक्रूरादिकृद् भवेत्

When the ninth is joined with Rāhu and Saturn, is in a cruel division and aspected by Gulika, and its lord stands in a cruel sign or division, the man becomes a doer of exceedingly cruel deeds.

pitṛsthāneśvare saumye kārake śubhasaṃyute | bhāve vā śubhasaṃyukte pitṛsaukhyaṃ vinirdiśet

When the kāraka is joined with the gopura and other divisions, is aspected by the lord of the house, and is neither aspected by nor joined with malefics, one should declare happiness from the father.

पापदृष्टे सपापे वा कारके भावनायके । पापान्तरगते वाऽपि पितृदुःखं विनिर्दिशेत्

lagneśātpitṛbhāveśe sampūrṇabalasaṃyute | kārake vā śubhairdṛṣṭe jātaḥ pitṛvaśānugaḥ

When the lord of the ninth reckoned from the lord of the lagna is endowed with full strength, or the kāraka is aspected by benefics, the man born is obedient to his father.

पितुर्जन्माष्टमे जातस्तदीशे लग्नगेऽपि वा । तेनैव पितृकार्याणि कर्मशेषं समापयेत्

piturjanmāṣṭame jātastadīśe lagnage'pi vā | tenaiva pitṛkāryāṇi karmaśeṣaṃ samāpayet

bhāgyādhipe vilagneśe duścikye dharmage'pi vā | balavān svoccabhe vāpi yeṣāṃ te śreṣṭhamānavāḥ

Those whose lord of the ninth and lord of the lagna stand in the third (duścikya) or in the ninth, strong, or in their own exaltation sign — they are the foremost among men.

trikoṇakendre yadi bhāgyanāthe saumyekṣite saumyayute balāḍhye | pārāvatāṃśādigate śubhāṃśe jāto dhanāḍhye bahubhāgyayuktaḥ

If the lord of the ninth stands in a trine or a kendra, aspected by and joined with benefics and endowed with strength, and is in the pārāvata and other divisions or in a benefic division, the man born is rich and blessed with abundant fortune.

तृतीयराशेरधिपेन युक्ते भाग्याधिपे सौम्यदृशा समेते । शुभान्विते शोभनखेचरांशे भ्रातुर्धनाद्भाग्यमुपैति जातः

When the lord of the 9th is joined with the lord of the 3rd, receives the aspect of a benefic, is associated with benefics, and stands in the navāṃśa of an auspicious planet, the native gains his fortune out of his brother's wealth.

When the lord of the house of kinsmen (jñāti-sthāna) occupies the 9th, the lord of the 9th is joined with the house of kinsmen, and the kāraka of kinsmen is likewise joined, he obtains his fortune through his kinsmen.

कलत्रकारकादेवं तत्स्थानेशाद्वदेत्तथा । भाग्याधिपस्य शत्रुश्च शत्रुराशिपतिस्तथा

kalatrakārakādevaṃ tatsthāneśādvadettathā | bhāgyādhipasya śatruśca śatrurāśipatistathā

In the same manner one should pronounce from the kāraka of the wife (Venus) and from the lord of that house (the 7th). Likewise consider the enemy of the lord of the 9th, and the lord of the sign of the 6th (the house of enemies) —

तदीशे भाग्यसम्बन्धे शत्रुभाग्यमुपैति सः । षष्ठाष्टमान्त्यनाथेन युक्ते नाथेऽत्र तत्फलम्

tadīśe bhāgyasambandhe śatrubhāgyamupaiti saḥ | ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamāntyanāthena yukte nāthe'tra tatphalam

— when that lord has a connection with the 9th, he obtains fortune through enemies. And when the lord [of the 9th] here is joined with the lords of the 6th, 8th or 12th, the same result follows.

भाग्याधिपे विनाशस्थे शत्रुनीचनिरीक्षिते । क्रूरांशे नीचराश्यादौ भाग्यहीनो भवेन्नरः

When the lord of the 9th stands in the 12th (the house of ruin), is aspected by an enemy planet or by a debilitated planet, and occupies a cruel (malefic) navāṃśa or a sign of debilitation and the like, the man becomes devoid of fortune.

बहुपापसमायोगे भाग्ये हीने तदीश्वरे । लग्नेशे बलहीने वा भाग्यहीनो भवेन्नरः

bahupāpasamāyoge bhāgye hīne tadīśvare | lagneśe balahīne vā bhāgyahīno bhavennaraḥ

When the 9th house is joined by many malefics and its lord is weak, or when the lord of the lagna is bereft of strength, the man becomes devoid of fortune.

गुरुशुक्रेक्षिते युक्ते भाग्ये तन्नायकेऽपि वा । लग्नेशार्थपतौ धीरे भाग्यप्राप्तिः पुनर्भवेत्

guruśukrekṣite yukte bhāgye tannāyake'pi vā | lagneśārthapatau dhīre bhāgyaprāptiḥ punarbhavet

If the 9th house, or else its lord, is aspected by or joined with Jupiter and Venus, and the lord of the lagna and the lord of the 2nd are firm and strong, fortune is regained.

krūrarāśyaṃśake bhāgyanāthe śukrejyavīkṣite | bhāgyalagneśasandṛṣṭe bhāgyanāśaṃ karoti saḥ

When the lord of the 9th stands in a cruel sign and a cruel navāṃśa — even though aspected by Venus and Jupiter, and aspected by the lords of the 9th and the lagna — he brings about the destruction of fortune.

लग्नेशे भाग्यराशिस्थे भाग्येशे लग्नमाश्रिते । लाभे भाग्येशसंयुक्ते पुनर्भाग्यं लभेत्खलु

devalokāṃśakasthe vā karmeśe bhāgyape'tha vā | pārāvatāṃśake saumye dṛṣṭe subrahmaniṣṭhatā

When the lord of the 10th, or else the lord of the 9th, stands in a devaloka division, or in a pārāvata division and is aspected by a benefic, there is deep devotion to Brahman.

दानस्थानाधिपे स्वोच्चे शुभग्रहनिरीक्षिते । तत्स्थाने शुभसंयुक्ते दानकृत्स नरो भवेत्

bhāgyayoge tu samprāpte dānayoge tathā bhavet | rājayoge'tha vā prāpte netareṣāṃ tathā bhavet

Only when a yoga for fortune is present does the yoga for charity likewise bear fruit, or when a rājayoga is present; for others it does not turn out so.

इतरेषां तु सम्पाते दानयोगे कथम्भवेत् । भाग्ययोगे नरो जातो दानस्य तु सहायकृत्

itareṣāṃ tu sampāte dānayoge kathambhavet | bhāgyayoge naro jāto dānasya tu sahāyakṛt

And how does it fall out for the others when a dāna-yoga occurs? If a bhāgya-yoga is present, the man born becomes a helper in the charity of others.

जातः पुरोहितो वाऽथ ब्रह्मवंशसमुद्भवः । दानाध्यक्षोऽथ जातः स्यात् वर्णभेदविकल्पनात्

jātaḥ purohito vā'tha brahmavaṃśasamudbhavaḥ | dānādhyakṣo'tha jātaḥ syāt varṇabhedavikalpanāt

Or the native is born a purohita, or in a brahmin lineage; or he becomes a superintendent of charities — these alternatives being settled according to the difference of varṇa.

adhyāyaḥ saptamaḥ proktaścāyurdharmādhivācakaḥ | nānārthasārasaṃyukto vyaṅkaṭeśvaraśarmaṇā

Thus has the seventh chapter, which treats of longevity and dharma and is filled with the essence of many matters, been declared by Veṅkaṭeśvara Śarman.

दशमात्प्रवृत्तिमाज्ञां कीर्तिं वृष्टिं प्रवासपूर्तादीन् । मानं कर्माजीवं जानुस्थानं च निर्दिशेद्दासान्

daśamātpravṛttimājñāṃ kīrtiṃ vṛṣṭiṃ pravāsapūrtādīn | mānaṃ karmājīvaṃ jānusthānaṃ ca nirdiśeddāsān

शुभग्रहैर्दृष्टिसमन्वितास्ते वीर्यान्विता यज्ञविशेषमाहुः । दुःस्थाः शशाङ्कात्मजजीवशुक्राः पापेक्षिताः कर्मविनाशमाहुः

śubhagrahairdṛṣṭisamanvitāste vīryānvitā yajñaviśeṣamāhuḥ | duḥsthāḥ śaśāṅkātmajajīvaśukrāḥ pāpekṣitāḥ karmavināśamāhuḥ

When those planets are strong and attended by the aspect of benefics, a sacrifice of a special kind is declared; but when Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are ill-placed and aspected by malefics, the ruin of one's undertakings is declared.

राहौ च माने यदि वा दिनेशे भागीरथीस्नानमुशन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

rāhau ca māne yadi vā dineśe bhāgīrathīsnānamuśanti tajjñāḥ

If Rāhu, or else the Sun, stands in the 10th, those who know declare a bath in the Bhāgīrathī (the Ganges).

माने च मीने यदि वा ससौम्ये भौमान्विते वा भविता च मुक्तिः । जलर्क्षगे पूर्णशशाङ्कजीवे मानस्थिते गाङ्गजलादिपूतः

māne ca mīne yadi vā sasaumye bhaumānvite vā bhavitā ca muktiḥ | jalarkṣage pūrṇaśaśāṅkajīve mānasthite gāṅgajalādipūtaḥ

If the 10th is Pisces, or is joined with Mercury or with Mars, liberation will be attained. If the full Moon and Jupiter stand in the 10th in a watery sign, he is purified by the water of the Ganges and the like.

माने गुरौ शुक्रयुते च केन्द्रे स्वोच्चस्थिते तादृशतोयपूतः । माने धने शुक्रयुते सजीवे केन्द्रोच्चगे तादृशतोयपूतः

māne gurau śukrayute ca kendre svoccasthite tādṛśatoyapūtaḥ | māne dhane śukrayute sajīve kendroccage tādṛśatoyapūtaḥ

If Jupiter is in the 10th joined with Venus, standing in a kendra or in his own exaltation, he is purified by such waters; and if Venus with Jupiter is in the 10th or the 2nd, in a kendra or in exaltation, he is purified by such waters likewise.

बुधे व्यये वा यदि वा तदीशे स्वोच्चान्विते तादृशपुण्यभाक्स्यात् । चन्द्रे तृतीये जलराशियुक्ते सौम्यान्विते तादृशपुण्यभाक्स्यात्

budhe vyaye vā yadi vā tadīśe svoccānvite tādṛśapuṇyabhāksyāt | candre tṛtīye jalarāśiyukte saumyānvite tādṛśapuṇyabhāksyāt

If Mercury is in the 12th, or the lord of the 12th is in its own exaltation, he shares in such merit; and if the Moon is in the 3rd in a watery sign joined with benefics, he shares in such merit as well.

बुधे सजीवे यदि वा सभौमे प्राकारकृन्मण्डपगोपुरादीन्

budhe sajīve yadi vā sabhaume prākārakṛnmaṇḍapagopurādīn

If Mercury is with Jupiter, or with Mars, he builds ramparts, pavilions, gateway-towers and the like.

मानस्थिते तद्गृहनाथयुक्ते करोति जीर्णोद्धरणादि तत्र

mānasthite tadgṛhanāthayukte karoti jīrṇoddharaṇādi tatra

And when such a planet stands in the 10th joined with the lord of that house, he undertakes there the restoration of ruined buildings and the like.

करोति कूपादितटाकभूमिं कर्मेश्वरे गोपुरभागयुक्ते । मृदंशके वा शुभदृष्टियुक्ते भाग्येश्वरेणापि निरीक्षिते वा

karoti kūpāditaṭākabhūmiṃ karmeśvare gopurabhāgayukte | mṛdaṃśake vā śubhadṛṣṭiyukte bhāgyeśvareṇāpi nirīkṣite vā

He makes wells, tanks and land for public use, when the lord of the 10th stands in the Gopura division, or in a gentle (mṛdu) division, or is joined with benefic aspect, or is aspected by the lord of the 9th.

चन्द्रात्मजे कर्मगते तदीशे भाग्यस्थिते पापविवर्जितेऽस्मिन् । सौम्येक्षिते शोभनभावयुक्ते यज्ञस्य कर्त्ता स भवेत्तदानीम्

candrātmaje karmagate tadīśe bhāgyasthite pāpavivarjite'smin | saumyekṣite śobhanabhāvayukte yajñasya karttā sa bhavettadānīm

If Mercury is in the 10th and the lord of the 10th is in the 9th, this last free from malefics, aspected by benefics and joined with a favourable bhāva, then he becomes a performer of sacrifice.

कर्माधिपेऽस्मिन्यदि सोमपुत्रे स्वोच्चस्थिते वा यदि धर्मराशौ । विवर्जितः स्याच्छिखिराहुपापैः यज्ञस्य कर्ता स भवेत्तदानीम्

karmādhipe'sminyadi somaputre svoccasthite vā yadi dharmarāśau | vivarjitaḥ syācchikhirāhupāpaiḥ yajñasya kartā sa bhavettadānīm

If the lord of the 10th is with Mercury, or stands in its own exaltation, or in the sign of the 9th, and is free from Ketu, Rāhu and the malefics, then he becomes a performer of sacrifice.

कर्माधिपे स्वोच्चगते सपापे नीचांशगे नाशगतेऽपि तस्मिन् । विघ्नो भवत्येव मखस्य तस्य क्रूरादिषष्ट्यंशगतेऽपि चैवम्

karmādhipe svoccagate sapāpe nīcāṃśage nāśagate'pi tasmin | vighno bhavatyeva makhasya tasya krūrādiṣaṣṭyaṃśagate'pi caivam

If the lord of the 10th, though in exaltation, is with malefics, or occupies a navāṃśa of debilitation, or stands in a house of ruin, there is certainly an obstacle to his sacrifice; and the same when he occupies a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa and the like.

तुङ्गस्थिते सोमसुते तदीशे स्वोच्चान्विते सोमसुतेन दृष्टे । शुभेक्षिते वा सबुधे स्वराशौ यज्ञस्य कर्त्ता स भवेत्तदानीम्

tuṅgasthite somasute tadīśe svoccānvite somasutena dṛṣṭe | śubhekṣite vā sabudhe svarāśau yajñasya karttā sa bhavettadānīm

If Mercury is in exaltation and the lord of the 10th is in his own exaltation, aspected by Mercury, or aspected by benefics, or with Mercury in his own sign, then he becomes a performer of sacrifice.

आज्ञास्थानाधिपे सौम्ये शुभदृष्टयुतेऽपि वा । शोभनांशगते वापि जातस्त्वाज्ञाधिपो भवेत्

ājñāsthānādhipe saumye śubhadṛṣṭayute'pi vā | śobhanāṃśagate vāpi jātastvājñādhipo bhavet

If the lord of the house of authority is a benefic, or carries benefic aspect, or stands in a good navāṃśa, the native becomes a wielder of authority.

आज्ञास्थानगते सूर्ये भूमिपुत्रेण वा युते । केन्द्रान्विते तदीशेऽपि क्रूरामाज्ञाङ्करोति सः

ājñāsthānagate sūrye bhūmiputreṇa vā yute | kendrānvite tadīśe'pi krūrāmājñāṅkaroti saḥ

If the Sun is in the 10th joined with Mars, and the lord of that house too stands in a kendra, he exercises a harsh authority.

आज्ञाधिपे मन्दयुते रन्ध्रनाथेन संयुते । क्रूरांशे केन्द्रराशौ वा क्रूरामाज्ञाङ्करोति सः

ājñādhipe mandayute randhranāthena saṃyute | krūrāṃśe kendrarāśau vā krūrāmājñāṅkaroti saḥ

If the lord of the 10th is joined with Saturn or with the lord of the 8th, and stands in a cruel navāṃśa or in a kendra sign, he exercises a harsh authority.

मानाधिपे केन्द्रयुते शुभयुक्तेक्षितेऽपि वा । शरषष्ट्यंशसंयुक्ते सौम्यामाज्ञाङ्करोति सः

mānādhipe kendrayute śubhayuktekṣite'pi vā | śaraṣaṣṭyaṃśasaṃyukte saumyāmājñāṅkaroti saḥ

If the lord of the 10th stands in a kendra, joined with or aspected by benefics, and occupies the śara ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, he exercises a mild authority.

राहुमान्दियुते माने रन्ध्रे राहौ ध्वजेऽपि वा । नीचस्थे धर्मभावेशे क्रूरामाज्ञाङ्करोति सः

rāhumāndiyute māne randhre rāhau dhvaje'pi vā | nīcasthe dharmabhāveśe krūrāmājñāṅkaroti saḥ

If the 10th is joined with Rāhu and Māndi, or if Rāhu or Ketu (Dhvaja) stands in the 8th, and the lord of the 9th is in debilitation, he exercises a harsh authority.

शशाङ्के कर्किसंयुक्ते गुरुशुक्रनिरीक्षिते । पारावतादिभागस्थे सत्कीर्तिसहितो भवेत्

śaśāṅke karkisaṃyukte guruśukranirīkṣite | pārāvatādibhāgasthe satkīrtisahito bhavet

If the Moon is in Cancer, aspected by Jupiter and Venus, and stands in the Pārāvata or the other honorific divisions, the native is possessed of good fame.

तदीशे शुभसंयुक्ते शुभमध्यगतेऽपि वा । शुभग्रहाणामंशे वा सत्कीर्तिसहितो भवेत्

tadīśe śubhasaṃyukte śubhamadhyagate'pi vā | śubhagrahāṇāmaṃśe vā satkīrtisahito bhavet

If the lord of that house is joined with benefics, or is hemmed in between benefics, or stands in the navāṃśa of benefic planets, the native is possessed of good fame.

कान्तिस्थानाधिपे सौम्ये स्वोच्चमित्रस्ववर्गगे । सौम्यषष्ट्यंशके वापि सत्कीर्तिसहितो भवेत्

kāntisthānādhipe saumye svoccamitrasvavargage | saumyaṣaṣṭyaṃśake vāpi satkīrtisahito bhavet

If the lord of the house of splendour is a benefic and stands in its own exaltation, in a friend's sign or in its own varga, or in a benefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, the native is possessed of good fame.

तदीशे देवलोकस्थे सिंहांशे शुभनायके । बलपूर्णे विलग्नेशे सत्कीर्तिसहितो भवेत्

tadīśe devalokasthe siṃhāṃśe śubhanāyake | balapūrṇe vilagneśe satkīrtisahito bhavet

If its lord stands in the Devaloka or the Siṃhāsana division, the ruling planet being a benefic, and the lord of the lagna is full of strength, the native is possessed of good fame.

पापग्रहाणां सम्बन्धे माननाथे बलक्षये । क्रूरषष्ट्यंशसंयुक्ते सत्कीर्तिसहितो भवेत्

pāpagrahāṇāṃ sambandhe mānanāthe balakṣaye | krūraṣaṣṭyaṃśasaṃyukte satkīrtisahito bhavet

When the lord of the 10th is connected with malefic planets, is losing strength, and occupies a cruel ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, he is possessed of good fame.

अपकीर्तियुतो जातः कर्मस्थे च रवौ शनौ । पापांशके पापदृष्टे पापमध्यगतेऽपि तत्

apakīrtiyuto jātaḥ karmasthe ca ravau śanau | pāpāṃśake pāpadṛṣṭe pāpamadhyagate'pi tat

The native has ill fame when the Sun and Saturn stand in the 10th, in a malefic navāṃśa, aspected by malefics, or hemmed in between malefics.

शुभग्रहाणां सम्बन्धे मानतन्नायकेऽपि वा । स्वोच्चे वा स्वगृहे वापि जातो मानी दृढव्रतः

śubhagrahāṇāṃ sambandhe mānatannāyake'pi vā | svocce vā svagṛhe vāpi jāto mānī dṛḍhavrataḥ

When the 10th house and its lord are connected with benefic planets, or stand in exaltation or in their own house, the native is a man of honour, firm in his vows.

इङ्गितज्ञोऽपि मानी स्यान्माने जीवेऽथ वा शुभे । तदीशे शुभसम्बन्धे शुभमध्यगतेऽपि वा

iṅgitajño'pi mānī syānmāne jīve'tha vā śubhe | tadīśe śubhasambandhe śubhamadhyagate'pi vā

He also becomes a reader of men's gestures and a man of honour when Jupiter or another benefic is in the 10th, and its lord is connected with benefics or hemmed in between benefics.

पापे माने पापदृष्टे तदीशे नीचराशिगे । पापराश्यंशके वापि मानहीनो भवेन्नरः

pāpe māne pāpadṛṣṭe tadīśe nīcarāśige | pāparāśyaṃśake vāpi mānahīno bhavennaraḥ

When a malefic is in the 10th and is aspected by malefics, and the lord of that house stands in a sign of debilitation, or in the sign or navāṃśa of a malefic, the man is devoid of honour.

मानाधिपे चरांशस्थे सञ्चारसहितो भवेत् । स्थिरांशे स्थैर्यमुद्दिष्टं मृगयात्रा द्विदेहगे

mānādhipe carāṃśasthe sañcārasahito bhavet | sthirāṃśe sthairyamuddiṣṭaṃ mṛgayātrā dvidehage

If the lord of the 10th stands in a movable navāṃśa, the man is much on the move; in a fixed navāṃśa, stability is declared; and in a dual navāṃśa, hunting and journeying.

षष्ठेशे कर्मराशिस्थे कर्मेशे मन्दसंयुते । केन्द्रत्रिकोणगे वापि दासीदासान् विनिर्दिशेत्

ṣaṣṭheśe karmarāśisthe karmeśe mandasaṃyute | kendratrikoṇage vāpi dāsīdāsān vinirdiśet

If the lord of the 6th stands in the sign of the 10th, and the lord of the 10th is joined with Saturn, or stands in a kendra or a trikoṇa, male and female servants are to be declared.

कर्माधिपस्थानपतौ शनिसम्बन्धसंयुते । षष्ठाधिपस्य सम्बन्धे बहुदासान् विनिर्दिशेत्

karmādhipasthānapatau śanisambandhasaṃyute | ṣaṣṭhādhipasya sambandhe bahudāsān vinirdiśet

When the lord of the sign occupied by the lord of the 10th (karma) is joined in relation with Saturn, and there is a relation of the lord of the 6th as well, one should declare that the native has many servants.

शुभग्रहेण सन्दृष्टे कर्मराशौ तदीश्वरे । भानुपुत्रेण वा युक्ते बहुदासान्विनिर्दिशेत्

śubhagraheṇa sandṛṣṭe karmarāśau tadīśvare | bhānuputreṇa vā yukte bahudāsānvinirdiśet

When the 10th sign and its lord are aspected by a benefic planet, or are joined with Saturn (bhānuputra), one should declare many servants.

कर्मनाथेन वा भुक्तिप्रश्ने पूर्तिं विनिर्दिशेत् । तत्र पापसमायोगे जानुदौर्बल्यमादिशेत्

karmanāthena vā bhuktipraśne pūrtiṃ vinirdiśet | tatra pāpasamāyoge jānudaurbalyamādiśet

Or, in a question concerning enjoyment, one should declare fulfilment through the lord of the 10th; but if a malefic is conjoined there, one should declare weakness of the knees.

ग्रहैश्चतुर्भिः सहितैस्तदीशे त्रिकोणगे केन्द्रगतैस्तु मुक्तः । चतुर्ग्रहैः केन्द्रगतैः प्रब्रज्यामाप्नोति जातः कथितो मुनीन्द्रैः

grahaiścaturbhiḥ sahitaistadīśe trikoṇage kendragataistu muktaḥ | caturgrahaiḥ kendragataiḥ prabrajyāmāpnoti jātaḥ kathito munīndraiḥ

When four planets stand together, the lord of their sign being in a trine, and they themselves occupy a quadrant, the native is one released; and with four planets in a quadrant he attains the life of a wandering renunciant (pravrajyā) — so it has been declared by the foremost sages.

न वीक्षितश्चेदितरग्रहेन्द्रैः लग्नाधिपः पश्यति भानुपुत्रम् । लग्नाधिपं वा यदि भानुपुत्रः संन्यासयोगो हि बलेन हीनः

na vīkṣitaśceditaragrahendraiḥ lagnādhipaḥ paśyati bhānuputram | lagnādhipaṃ vā yadi bhānuputraḥ saṃnyāsayogo hi balena hīnaḥ

If the lord of the lagna, being unaspected by any other planet, aspects Saturn, or if Saturn aspects the lord of the lagna, there is indeed a yoga for renunciation — though one wanting in strength.

शनेर्दृकाणे कुमुदात्मबन्धौ मन्देक्षिते तादृशयोगमाहुः । मन्दांशके भूमिसुतांशके वा मन्देक्षिते चन्द्रयुते तथैव

śanerdṛkāṇe kumudātmabandhau mandekṣite tādṛśayogamāhuḥ | mandāṃśake bhūmisutāṃśake vā mandekṣite candrayute tathaiva

When the Moon stands in a decanate of Saturn and is aspected by Saturn, they call it a yoga of the same kind. Likewise when [the significant point] falls in a navāṃśa of Saturn or of Mars, is aspected by Saturn, and is joined with the Moon.

संन्यासयोगाधिपतौ सराहौ क्रूरांशके वा गुलिकेन युक्ते । संन्यासवैकल्यमुदाहरन्ति भङ्गो भवेत्तस्य शुभैर्विहीने

saṃnyāsayogādhipatau sarāhau krūrāṃśake vā gulikena yukte | saṃnyāsavaikalyamudāharanti bhaṅgo bhavettasya śubhairvihīne

When the lord of the renunciation-yoga is with Rāhu, or in a cruel navāṃśa, or joined with Gulika, they declare the renunciation to be defective; and it is broken outright when that lord is bereft of benefics.

आयेनार्थावाप्तिं पादावपि वामकर्णचिन्ताञ्च । जातावपि कचकुब्जाञ्ज्येष्ठान्ब्रूयाद्धनान्यासाम्

āyenārthāvāptiṃ pādāvapi vāmakarṇacintāñca | jātāvapi kacakubjāñjyeṣṭhānbrūyāddhanānyāsām

By the 11th house (āya) one should judge the acquisition of wealth, and also the two legs, and matters concerning the left ear; and in a nativity too one should speak of the hair and a hunched back (kaca-kubjā), of the elder brothers and of the wealth belonging to them.

धनाधिपे लाभगते लाभेशे धनमागते । तावुभौ केन्द्रगौ वापि धनलाभमुदीरयेत्

dhanādhipe lābhagate lābheśe dhanamāgate | tāvubhau kendragau vāpi dhanalābhamudīrayet

When the lord of the 2nd goes to the 11th and the lord of the 11th comes to the 2nd, or when both of them occupy quadrants, one should pronounce gain of wealth.

लाभेश्वरे केन्द्रगते त्रिकोणे वा समन्विते । लाभे वा पापसंयुक्ते धनलाभमुदीरयेत्

lābheśvare kendragate trikoṇe vā samanvite | lābhe vā pāpasaṃyukte dhanalābhamudīrayet

When the lord of the 11th occupies a quadrant, or is joined [with a benefic] in a trine, or when the 11th itself is occupied by a malefic, one should pronounce gain of wealth.

शुभमध्यगते लाभे तदीशे वा तथा स्थिते । पारावतादिभागस्थे धनलाभमुदीरयेत्

śubhamadhyagate lābhe tadīśe vā tathā sthite | pārāvatādibhāgasthe dhanalābhamudīrayet

When the 11th house, or likewise its lord, stands between benefics and falls in a Pārāvata or similar divisional class, one should pronounce gain of wealth.

लाभेशयुक्तराशीशे शुभग्रहनिरीक्षिते । शुभग्रहाणां मध्यस्थे धनलाभमुदीरयेत्

lābheśayuktarāśīśe śubhagrahanirīkṣite | śubhagrahāṇāṃ madhyasthe dhanalābhamudīrayet

When the lord of the sign occupied by the lord of the 11th is aspected by benefic planets and stands between benefics, one should pronounce gain of wealth.

लाभनाथसमायुक्तनवांशाधिपतौ शुभे । वित्तनाथेन सन्दृष्टे धनलाभमुदीरयेत्

When the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 11th is a benefic and is aspected by the lord of the 2nd, one should pronounce gain of wealth.

lābhādhipasamāyuktatryaṃśabhāgapatau śubhe | karmeśvareṇa sandṛṣṭe dhanalābhamudīrayet

When the lord of the tryaṃśa (drekkāṇa) occupied by the lord of the 11th is a benefic and is aspected by the lord of the 10th, one should pronounce gain of wealth.

पापग्रहाणां सम्बन्धे धनहानिं विनिर्दिशेत् । लाभेश्वरोक्तदिग्भागाद् धनप्राप्तिं विनिर्दिशेत्

pāpagrahāṇāṃ sambandhe dhanahāniṃ vinirdiśet | lābheśvaroktadigbhāgād dhanaprāptiṃ vinirdiśet

Where malefic planets are in connection, one should declare loss of wealth; but wealth will be obtained from the quarter assigned to the lord of the 11th.

लाभराश्युक्तदिग्भागात्सर्वोत्तमबलादपि । बलाबलवशेनैव द्रव्यलाभं विनिर्दिशेत्

lābharāśyuktadigbhāgātsarvottamabalādapi | balābalavaśenaiva dravyalābhaṃ vinirdiśet

From the quarter indicated by the 11th sign, and also from whichever of these factors is strongest of all, one should determine the gain of substance purely according to their relative strength and weakness.

लाभे पापे तद् गृहे वा धनहानिं विनिर्दिशेत् । लाभेशे पापसम्बन्धे धननाशं विनिर्दिशेत्

lābhe pāpe tad gṛhe vā dhanahāniṃ vinirdiśet | lābheśe pāpasambandhe dhananāśaṃ vinirdiśet

If a malefic occupies the 11th, or the house of its lord, one should declare loss of wealth; and if the lord of the 11th is in connection with a malefic, one should declare the destruction of wealth.

कर्णस्थानेश्वरे सौम्ये शुभदृष्टिसमन्विते । कर्णाधिपे बलवति कर्णाभरणमिष्यते

karṇasthāneśvare saumye śubhadṛṣṭisamanvite | karṇādhipe balavati karṇābharaṇamiṣyate

When the lord of the house of the ear is a benefic and endowed with benefic aspect, and the lord of the ear is strong, ornaments for the ears are to be expected.

पापग्रहाणां सम्बन्धे तन्नाशोऽत्र भविष्यति । लाभेशात्सोदरेशाद्वा कर्णसौख्यं विनिर्दिशेत्

pāpagrahāṇāṃ sambandhe tannāśo'tra bhaviṣyati | lābheśātsodareśādvā karṇasaukhyaṃ vinirdiśet

With the connection of malefic planets their destruction will follow here. From the lord of the 11th, or from the lord of the 3rd (the house of brothers), one should determine the well-being of the ears.

तदीशे शुभसम्बन्धे कर्णसौख्यं विनिर्दिशेत् । तदीशे पापसम्बन्धे कर्णरोगं विनिर्दिशेत्

tadīśe śubhasambandhe karṇasaukhyaṃ vinirdiśet | tadīśe pāpasambandhe karṇarogaṃ vinirdiśet

If their lord is connected with benefics, one should declare comfort of the ears; if their lord is connected with malefics, one should declare disease of the ears.

ब्रूयाज्ज्येष्ठांशलाभेन शुभपापवशादपि । शुभग्रहाणां सम्बन्धे दीर्घमायुर्विनिर्दिशेत्

brūyājjyeṣṭhāṃśalābhena śubhapāpavaśādapi | śubhagrahāṇāṃ sambandhe dīrghamāyurvinirdiśet

तद्राशिनाथदिग्भागाद् द्रव्यप्राप्तिमुदीरयेत् । लाभराशिवशादेवं चिन्तयेन्मतिमान्नरः

tadrāśināthadigbhāgād dravyaprāptimudīrayet | lābharāśivaśādevaṃ cintayenmatimānnaraḥ

From the quarter of the lord of that sign one should pronounce the obtaining of substance; in this manner the man of understanding should reason by means of the 11th sign.

व्ययभवनाद्व्ययमखिलं पतनं नरके च वैकल्यम् । वामाक्षिचरणयुगलं शयनस्थानं विनिर्दिशेत्प्राज्ञः

vyayabhavanādvyayamakhilaṃ patanaṃ narake ca vaikalyam | vāmākṣicaraṇayugalaṃ śayanasthānaṃ vinirdiśetprājñaḥ

From the 12th house the wise man should declare all expenditure, a fall into hell, bodily defect, the left eye, both feet, and the place of sleeping.

व्यये पापसमायुक्ते तदीशे पापखेचरे । पापग्रहेण सन्दृष्टे पापमूलाद्धनव्ययः

vyaye pāpasamāyukte tadīśe pāpakhecare | pāpagraheṇa sandṛṣṭe pāpamūlāddhanavyayaḥ

When a malefic is joined to the 12th, its lord too being a malefic planet, and it is aspected by a malefic, expenditure of wealth arises from sinful sources.

मन्दमान्द्यगुसंयुक्ते व्यये वा तद् गृहाधिपे । क्रूरांशकसमायुक्ते पापमूलाद्धनव्ययः

mandamāndyagusaṃyukte vyaye vā tad gṛhādhipe | krūrāṃśakasamāyukte pāpamūlāddhanavyayaḥ

When the 12th, or the lord of that house, is joined with Saturn, Māndi and Gulika, and stands in a cruel navāṃśa, expenditure of wealth arises from sinful sources.

व्ययाधिपसमायुक्तनवभागपतौ शुभे । शुभांशे शुभमध्यस्थे धर्ममूलाद्धनव्ययः

vyayādhipasamāyuktanavabhāgapatau śubhe | śubhāṃśe śubhamadhyasthe dharmamūlāddhanavyayaḥ

When the lord of the navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the 12th is a benefic, itself in a benefic navāṃśa and standing between benefics, expenditure of wealth arises from righteous causes.

गुरुशुक्रौ व्यये वापि बुधचन्द्रौ शुभेक्षितौ । पारावतादिभागस्थौ धर्ममूलाद्धनव्ययः

guruśukrau vyaye vāpi budhacandrau śubhekṣitau | pārāvatādibhāgasthau dharmamūlāddhanavyayaḥ

Or if Jupiter and Venus, or Mercury and the Moon, occupy the 12th, aspected by benefics and placed in the Pārāvata and similar divisions, expenditure of wealth arises from righteous causes.

pāpena karmanāthena vyayeśe dṛṣṭisaṃyute | śatrunīcādibhāgasthe pāpamūlāddhanavyayaḥ

When the lord of the 12th is joined with, or aspected by, a malefic lord of the 10th, and is placed in an inimical or debilitated division, expenditure of wealth arises from sinful sources.

शुभेन कर्मनाथेन दृष्टे युक्ते व्ययेश्वरे । स्वोच्चमित्रस्ववर्गस्थे धर्ममूलाद्धनव्ययः

śubhena karmanāthena dṛṣṭe yukte vyayeśvare | svoccamitrasvavargasthe dharmamūlāddhanavyayaḥ

If the lord of the twelfth is aspected by or joined with a benefic lord of the tenth, and stands in its own exaltation, in a friend's sign or in its own varga, expenditure of wealth is on account of religious duty.

व्ययेशे बलहीने वा शत्रुनाथयुतेक्षिते । गुलिकादिसमायुक्ते शत्रुमूलाद्धनव्ययः

vyayeśe balahīne vā śatrunāthayutekṣite | gulikādisamāyukte śatrumūlāddhanavyayaḥ

If the lord of the twelfth is without strength, or is joined with and aspected by the lord of the sixth, and is joined with Gulika and the like, expenditure of wealth is on account of enemies.

व्ययेशे दारनाथेन बलहीनेन तेन तु । दृष्टे युते वा क्रूरांशे स्त्रीहेतोर्धननाशनम्

vyayeśe dāranāthena balahīnena tena tu | dṛṣṭe yute vā krūrāṃśe strīhetordhananāśanam

If the lord of the twelfth is aspected by or joined with a weak lord of the seventh, and stands in a malefic navāṃśa, the destruction of wealth is on account of women.

तादृशे व्ययनाथेऽस्मिन् दृष्टे युक्तेऽथ वा भवेत् । तथाविधेन भौमेन भ्रातृमूलाद्धनक्षयः

tādṛśe vyayanāthe'smin dṛṣṭe yukte'tha vā bhavet | tathāvidhena bhaumena bhrātṛmūlāddhanakṣayaḥ

If this same lord of the twelfth is aspected by or joined with Mars in a like condition, the loss of wealth is on account of brothers.

पुत्रभावेश्वरेणापि बलहीनेन संयुते । दृष्टे व्ययेशे क्रूरांशे पुत्रमूलाद्धनव्ययः

putrabhāveśvareṇāpi balahīnena saṃyute | dṛṣṭe vyayeśe krūrāṃśe putramūlāddhanavyayaḥ

If the lord of the twelfth is joined with or aspected by a weak lord of the fifth and stands in a malefic navāṃśa, the expenditure of wealth is on account of children.

पितृस्थानेश्वरेणापि कारकेणापि वा युते । व्ययेशे दृष्टिसम्बन्धे पितृमूलाद्धनव्ययः

pitṛsthāneśvareṇāpi kārakeṇāpi vā yute | vyayeśe dṛṣṭisambandhe pitṛmūlāddhanavyayaḥ

If the lord of the twelfth is joined with, or connected by aspect with, the lord of the house of the father or with the father's significator, the expenditure of wealth is on account of the father.

एवं मातृपयोगेन युते दृष्टे व्ययाधिपे । क्रूरान्विते क्रूरभावे मातृमूलाद्धनव्ययः

evaṃ mātṛpayogena yute dṛṣṭe vyayādhipe | krūrānvite krūrabhāve mātṛmūlāddhanavyayaḥ

So too, if the lord of the twelfth is joined with or aspected by the lord of the mother's house, and is joined with malefics and stands in a malefic bhāva, the expenditure of wealth is on account of the mother.

बलहीने तु रिष्फेशे क्रूरराश्यंशकेऽपि वा । नीचांशे नीचराशौ वा देहे वैकल्यमादिशेत्

balahīne tu riṣpheśe krūrarāśyaṃśake'pi vā | nīcāṃśe nīcarāśau vā dehe vaikalyamādiśet

If the lord of the twelfth is weak, or stands in a malefic sign and navāṃśa, or in the navāṃśa or the sign of its debilitation, one should declare a deformity in the body.

बहुपापसमायोगे व्यये तद्भावनायके । मन्दमान्द्यगुसंयुक्ते देहवैकल्यमादिशेत्

bahupāpasamāyoge vyaye tadbhāvanāyake | mandamāndyagusaṃyukte dehavaikalyamādiśet

If the twelfth house and its lord are joined with many malefics, and are joined with Saturn, Māndi and Rāhu, one should declare a deformity in the body.

व्ययेशे पापराश्यंशे क्रूरांशे क्रूरसंयुते । पापग्रहेण सन्दृष्टे नरके निपतिष्यति

vyayeśe pāparāśyaṃśe krūrāṃśe krūrasaṃyute | pāpagraheṇa sandṛṣṭe narake nipatiṣyati

If the lord of the twelfth stands in a malefic sign and navāṃśa, in a cruel navāṃśa, joined with malefics and aspected by a malefic, the man will fall into hell.

नरके पतनं ब्रूयाद्राहुमान्दियुते व्यये । षष्ठाधिपेन सन्दृष्टे रन्ध्रनाथेन वा युते

narake patanaṃ brūyādrāhumāndiyute vyaye | ṣaṣṭhādhipena sandṛṣṭe randhranāthena vā yute

One should declare a fall into hell when the twelfth house is joined with Rāhu and Māndi, is aspected by the lord of the sixth, or is joined with the lord of the eighth.

व्ययेशयुक्तषष्ट्यंशे क्रूर भागादिसंज्ञके । क्रूरग्रहेण सन्दृष्टे नरकेपतनम्भवेत्

vyayeśayuktaṣaṣṭyaṃśe krūra bhāgādisaṃjñake | krūragraheṇa sandṛṣṭe narakepatanambhavet

If the ṣaṣṭyaṃśa occupied by the lord of the twelfth is one of those bearing a cruel name, and it is aspected by a malefic planet, there will be a fall into hell.

चन्द्राऽर्कयोर्यो बलवांस्तद्युक्तत्र्यंशनायकः । गुरुर्वा चन्द्रशुक्रौ वा सूर्यभौमौ ज्ञसूर्यजौ

candrā'rkayoryo balavāṃstadyuktatryaṃśanāyakaḥ | gururvā candraśukrau vā sūryabhaumau jñasūryajau

Take whichever of the Moon and the Sun is the stronger, and the lord of the drekkāṇa it occupies. If that lord is Jupiter, or the Moon and Venus, or the Sun and Mars, or Mercury and Saturn —

दैविकं पितृलोकन्तु तिर्यङ् नरकमेव च । तेषां वदेत्क्रमेणैव तल्लोकः श्रेष्ठ उच्यते

daivikaṃ pitṛlokantu tiryaṅ narakameva ca | teṣāṃ vadetkrameṇaiva tallokaḥ śreṣṭha ucyate

— one should declare for them, in that same order, the world of the gods, the world of the ancestors, birth among animals, and hell. The first of these worlds is called the best.

उच्चस्थे श्रेष्ठलोकः स्यान्नीचे नीचत्वमाप्नुयात् । समस्थिते समप्राप्तिरित्याहुश्च महर्षयः

uccasthe śreṣṭhalokaḥ syānnīce nīcatvamāpnuyāt | samasthite samaprāptirityāhuśca maharṣayaḥ

If that planet stands in exaltation, the best world is obtained; if in debilitation, a low state is reached; and if in a neutral position, a middling attainment — so say the great sages.

शुभे स्वोच्चे व्यये वापि सौम्यखेचरवीक्षिते । देवलोकादिभागस्थे स्वर्गप्राप्तिर्भविष्यति

śubhe svocce vyaye vāpi saumyakhecaravīkṣite | devalokādibhāgasthe svargaprāptirbhaviṣyati

If a benefic stands in its own exaltation, or the twelfth house is aspected by benefic planets, and the significator occupies the division belonging to the world of the gods and the like, the attainment of heaven will follow.

देवेज्ये कर्मराशीशे व्ययराशिगतेऽपि वा । शुभग्रहेण सन्दृष्टे स्वर्गप्राप्तिर्भविष्यति

devejye karmarāśīśe vyayarāśigate'pi vā | śubhagraheṇa sandṛṣṭe svargaprāptirbhaviṣyati

If Jupiter is lord of the tenth sign, or is placed in the sign of the twelfth, and is aspected by a benefic planet, the attainment of heaven will follow.

नेत्रेशे शुभसंयुक्ते शोभनांशसमन्विते । शुभखेचरसम्बन्धे तन्नेत्रस्य शुभं वदेत्

netreśe śubhasaṃyukte śobhanāṃśasamanvite | śubhakhecarasambandhe tannetrasya śubhaṃ vadet

If the lord of the house of the eye is joined with benefics, stands in an auspicious navāṃśa and is connected with benefic planets, one should declare well-being for that eye.

अन्यथा चेद्वदेन्नाशं पादयोरपि तत्तथा । तत्प्रपञ्चादिकं सर्वं धनभावे प्रदर्शितम्

anyathā cedvadennāśaṃ pādayorapi tattathā | tatprapañcādikaṃ sarvaṃ dhanabhāve pradarśitam

If it is otherwise, one should declare the loss of the eye; and the same holds for the feet. The whole elaboration of this has been set out under the second house.

गुरुशुक्रबुधास्तत्र वाहनं निर्दिशेद् बुधः । वाहनोक्तादिकं सर्वं तदिहात्र विचिन्तयेत्

guruśukrabudhāstatra vāhanaṃ nirdiśed budhaḥ | vāhanoktādikaṃ sarvaṃ tadihātra vicintayet

If Jupiter, Venus and Mercury stand there, the learned man should declare a conveyance. Everything that has been said about conveyances should be considered here too.

शुभग्रहाणां सम्बन्धे व्यये तद्भावनायके । दोलान्तु मञ्चम्प्रवदेच्छयनादिसुखन्तथा

śubhagrahāṇāṃ sambandhe vyaye tadbhāvanāyake | dolāntu mañcampravadecchayanādisukhantathā

If the twelfth house and its lord are connected with benefic planets, one should declare a swing and a couch, and likewise the comfort of beds and the rest.

व्ययेशे स्वोच्चराशिस्थे शुभवर्गसमन्विते । शुभग्रहेण सन्दृष्टे पर्यङ्कशयनं वदेत्

vyayeśe svoccarāśisthe śubhavargasamanvite | śubhagraheṇa sandṛṣṭe paryaṅkaśayanaṃ vadet

If the lord of the twelfth stands in the sign of its own exaltation, is endowed with benefic vargas and is aspected by a benefic planet, one should declare sleep upon a fine bedstead.

विचित्रमञ्चशयनं व्ययेशे परमोच्चगे । भाग्यनाथेन वा दृष्टे मणिरत्नविभूषितम्

vicitramañcaśayanaṃ vyayeśe paramoccage | bhāgyanāthena vā dṛṣṭe maṇiratnavibhūṣitam

If the lord of the twelfth is at its deepest exaltation, or is aspected by the lord of the ninth, there is sleep upon a wonderfully wrought couch adorned with gems and jewels.

पापग्रहाणां सम्बन्धे व्यये तद्भावनायके । क्रूरांशे क्रूरसन्दृष्टे शयनादिसुखं न हि

pāpagrahāṇāṃ sambandhe vyaye tadbhāvanāyake | krūrāṃśe krūrasandṛṣṭe śayanādisukhaṃ na hi

If the twelfth house and its lord are connected with malefic planets, stand in a malefic navāṃśa and are aspected by malefics, there is no comfort of beds and the like.

व्ययेशः पापखेटोऽपि स्वोच्चमित्रस्वराशिगः । तस्य नाथोऽपि तत्स्थाने शयनादिसुखं वदेत्

vyayeśaḥ pāpakheṭo'pi svoccamitrasvarāśigaḥ | tasya nātho'pi tatsthāne śayanādisukhaṃ vadet

If the lord of the twelfth, though itself a malefic, stands in its own exaltation, in a friend's sign or in its own sign, and its lord too is in that same place, one should declare the comfort of beds and the like.

नीचे व्यये वा लग्नेशे शत्रुनाथेन वीक्षिते । मन्दमान्द्यगुसंयुक्ते शयनादिसुखं न हि

nīce vyaye vā lagneśe śatrunāthena vīkṣite | mandamāndyagusaṃyukte śayanādisukhaṃ na hi

If the lord of the twelfth or the lord of the lagna is in debilitation, is aspected by the lord of the sixth, and is joined with Saturn, Māndi and Rāhu, there is no comfort of beds and the like.

पञ्चमे भृगुसंयुक्ते चन्द्रेण सहिते तथा । ताभ्यां दृष्टेऽथ वा पुत्रे स्त्रीदेवोपास्तिमादिशेत्

pañcame bhṛgusaṃyukte candreṇa sahite tathā | tābhyāṃ dṛṣṭe'tha vā putre strīdevopāstimādiśet

If the fifth house is joined with Venus and likewise with the Moon, or is aspected by these two, one should declare the worship of a female deity.

पञ्चमे पुंग्रहयुते पुन्देवोपास्तिमादिशेत् । पञ्चमे भानुसम्बन्धे सूर्यशङ्कर भाजनः

pañcame puṃgrahayute pundevopāstimādiśet | pañcame bhānusambandhe sūryaśaṅkara bhājanaḥ

If the fifth house is joined with male planets, one should declare the worship of a male deity. If the fifth is connected with the Sun, the man is a votary of Sūrya or of Śaṅkara.

चन्द्रे तथाविधे जाते यक्षिणी देवता भवेत् । स्कन्दो वा भैरवो वाऽपि सौम्यसम्बन्धवीक्षिते

candre tathāvidhe jāte yakṣiṇī devatā bhavet | skando vā bhairavo vā'pi saumyasambandhavīkṣite

If the Moon is similarly placed, the deity is a Yakṣiṇī; and when there is connection with or aspect of Mercury (saumya), the deity is Skanda or Bhairava.

उपास्या शारदा सौम्ये विष्णुर्वा सात्त्विको गुरौ । चामुण्डां पञ्चमे शुक्रसम्बन्धे तु विनिर्दिशेत्

upāsyā śāradā saumye viṣṇurvā sāttviko gurau | cāmuṇḍāṃ pañcame śukrasambandhe tu vinirdiśet

When Mercury is connected, Śāradā is to be worshipped; when Jupiter, Viṣṇu or some sāttvika deity; and when the fifth is connected with Venus, one should declare Cāmuṇḍā.

शनौ प्रेताशनी प्रोक्ता श्मशाननिलया भवेत् । राहुकेतुयुते तत्र परपीडनदेवता

śanau pretāśanī proktā śmaśānanilayā bhavet | rāhuketuyute tatra parapīḍanadevatā

With Saturn, the deity is declared to be one who feeds on corpses and whose dwelling is the cremation ground. When Rāhu and Ketu are joined there, the deity is one that afflicts others.

उक्तेष्वेतेषु खेटेषु स्वोच्चमित्रांशकेषु च । तदेव भजनं स्वार्थं परार्थं त्वन्यथा भवेत्

ukteṣveteṣu kheṭeṣu svoccamitrāṃśakeṣu ca | tadeva bhajanaṃ svārthaṃ parārthaṃ tvanyathā bhavet

When these planets that have been named stand in their own, exalted or friendly navāṃśas, that same worship is performed for one's own sake; otherwise it is performed on another's behalf.

सौम्येक्षितेषु सर्वेषु मृद्वंशादिगतेषु च । तदेव सौम्यता वाच्या क्रूरांशे क्रूरता भवेत्

saumyekṣiteṣu sarveṣu mṛdvaṃśādigateṣu ca | tadeva saumyatā vācyā krūrāṃśe krūratā bhavet

When all of them are aspected by benefics and stand in the mṛdu and the other gentle divisions, gentleness is to be declared in that same worship; but in a cruel navāṃśa there is cruelty.

द्वित्र्यादिग्रहयोगेन तद्देवभजनम्भवेत् । लग्नाधिपस्य मन्त्रेशे मित्रे तन्मित्रमादिशेत्

dvitryādigrahayogena taddevabhajanambhavet | lagnādhipasya mantreśe mitre tanmitramādiśet

By the conjunction of a second planet and the rest, the worship becomes that of the corresponding deity. When the lord of the fifth (mantreśa) is a friend of the lord of the lagna, one should declare that deity to be friendly.

शत्रुत्वे शत्रुभूतः स्यात्समत्वे समता भवेत्

śatrutve śatrubhūtaḥ syātsamatve samatā bhavet

If there is enmity between them, the deity is hostile; if neutrality, then there is neutrality.

लग्नाद् द्वादशराशीनां फलं प्रोक्तं मयाधुना । संगृह्य सारमखिलमध्यायस्त्वष्टमो भवेत्

lagnād dvādaśarāśīnāṃ phalaṃ proktaṃ mayādhunā | saṃgṛhya sāramakhilamadhyāyastvaṣṭamo bhavet

The results of the twelve signs reckoned from the lagna have now been declared by me; and gathering up this whole essence, it becomes the eighth chapter.

षड्भिर्ग्रहैरुच्चसमन्वितैः स्याद्राजाधिराजो बहुदेशभर्त्ता । उच्चस्थितैः पञ्चभिरत्र राजा शक्त्यान्वितो देवगुरौ विलग्ने

ṣaḍbhirgrahairuccasamanvitaiḥ syādrājādhirājo bahudeśabharttā | uccasthitaiḥ pañcabhiratra rājā śaktyānvito devagurau vilagne

With six planets in exaltation the native becomes an emperor (rājādhirāja), lord of many countries. With five in exaltation here, and Jupiter in the ascendant, he becomes a king endowed with power.

कुम्भे विलग्ने भृगुनन्दने वा स्वोच्चस्थिते भूमिपतिश्चतुर्भिः । उच्चस्थितैर्नीचवियुक्त भागैः क्रूरादिषष्ट्यंशविहीनभागैः

kumbhe vilagne bhṛgunandane vā svoccasthite bhūmipatiścaturbhiḥ | uccasthitairnīcaviyukta bhāgaiḥ krūrādiṣaṣṭyaṃśavihīnabhāgaiḥ

With Kumbha (Aquarius) as the ascendant, or with Venus in his own exaltation, four exalted planets make the native a ruler of the earth — provided they occupy navāṃśas free from debilitation and divisions free from malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśas.

लग्ने वृषे तत्र गते शशाङ्के षड्भिर्ग्रहैरुच्चगतैः नृपः स्यात् । कस्मिन् गृहे स्वोच्चयुते तु सर्वैः स्वक्षेत्रगैर्भूपतितुल्यजातः

lagne vṛṣe tatra gate śaśāṅke ṣaḍbhirgrahairuccagataiḥ nṛpaḥ syāt | kasmin gṛhe svoccayute tu sarvaiḥ svakṣetragairbhūpatitulyajātaḥ

With Vṛṣabha (Taurus) as the ascendant and the Moon posited there, six planets in exaltation make the native a king. And when in some one house a planet is in its own exaltation while all the rest occupy their own signs, the native is born the equal of a king.

मूलत्रिकोणाङ्कितराशियुक्तैः मित्रर्क्षगैर्वा यदि वक्रयुक्तैः । कस्मिन् गृहे स्वोच्चयुतेऽत्र शेषैः नीचांशहीनैर्नृपतुल्यजातः

mūlatrikoṇāṅkitarāśiyuktaiḥ mitrarkṣagairvā yadi vakrayuktaiḥ | kasmin gṛhe svoccayute'tra śeṣaiḥ nīcāṃśahīnairnṛpatulyajātaḥ

If the planets occupy signs marked as their mūlatrikoṇa, or friendly signs, or are retrograde; and if in some one house a planet stands in its own exaltation while the rest are free from debilitated navāṃśas — the native is born the equal of a king.

जनयति नृपमेकोऽप्युच्चगो मित्रदृष्टः प्रचुरधनसमेतं मित्रयोगाच्च सिद्धम् । विवसुविसुखमूढव्याधितं बन्धतप्तं वधदुरितसमेतं शत्रुनिम्नर्क्षगेषु

janayati nṛpameko'pyuccago mitradṛṣṭaḥ pracuradhanasametaṃ mitrayogācca siddham | vivasuvisukhamūḍhavyādhitaṃ bandhataptaṃ vadhaduritasametaṃ śatrunimnarkṣageṣu

Even a single exalted planet aspected by a friendly planet produces a king possessed of abundant wealth, made successful by that friendly conjunction. But when the planets occupy enemy or debilitation signs, the native is without wealth and without comfort, deluded, diseased, tormented by bondage, and beset with violence and wrongdoing.

शुभं वर्गोत्तमे जन्म वेशिस्थाने च सद्ग्रहे । अशून्येषु च केन्द्रेषु कारकाख्यग्रहेषु च

śubhaṃ vargottame janma veśisthāne ca sadgrahe | aśūnyeṣu ca kendreṣu kārakākhyagraheṣu ca

A birth is auspicious when the planets are in vargottama, and a benefic stands in the veśi position; when the kendras are not vacant; and when the kāraka planets are well placed.

हित्वार्कं सुनफाऽनफादुरुधराः स्वान्त्योभयस्थैर्ग्रहैः शीतांशोः कथितोऽन्यथा तु बहुभिः केमद्रुमोऽन्यैस्त्वसौ । केन्द्रे शीतकरेऽथ वा ग्रहयुते केमद्रुमो नेष्यते केचित्केन्द्रनवांशकेष्वपि वदन्त्युक्तिप्रसिद्धा न ते

hitvārkaṃ sunaphā'naphādurudharāḥ svāntyobhayasthairgrahaiḥ śītāṃśoḥ kathito'nyathā tu bahubhiḥ kemadrumo'nyaistvasau | kendre śītakare'tha vā grahayute kemadrumo neṣyate kecitkendranavāṃśakeṣvapi vadantyuktiprasiddhā na te

Excluding the Sun, when planets stand in the second from the Moon, in the twelfth, or in both, the yogas Sunaphā, Anaphā and Durudharā are declared; otherwise, according to many others, this is Kemadruma. When the Moon is in a kendra, or is joined by a planet, Kemadruma is not accepted. Some say it is likewise cancelled by planets in the kendras of the navāṃśa chart, but they are not supported by authoritative statement.

सौम्ये स्मरारिनिधनेष्वधियोग इन्दोः तस्मिंश्च भूपसचिवक्षितिपालजन्म । सम्पन्नसौख्यविभवा हतशत्रवश्च दीर्घायुषो विगतरोगभयाश्च जाताः

saumye smarārinidhaneṣvadhiyoga indoḥ tasmiṃśca bhūpasacivakṣitipālajanma | sampannasaukhyavibhavā hataśatravaśca dīrghāyuṣo vigatarogabhayāśca jātāḥ

When benefics occupy the seventh, sixth and eighth from the Moon, there is Adhi-yoga; and in it are born kings, ministers and rulers of the earth — men endowed with comfort and splendour, whose enemies are destroyed, who are long-lived and free from disease and from fear.

लग्ने चन्द्रे गुरौ सौख्ये कर्मस्थे भृगुनन्दने । स्वोच्चस्वर्क्षस्थिते मन्दे नृपतुल्यो भवेन्नरः

lagne candre gurau saukhye karmasthe bhṛgunandane | svoccasvarkṣasthite mande nṛpatulyo bhavennaraḥ

With the Moon in the ascendant, Jupiter in the fourth, Venus in the tenth, and Saturn in his own exaltation or his own sign, the man becomes the equal of a king.

दशमैकादशे रिष्फलग्नवित्तसहोत्थभे । ग्रहास्तिष्ठन्ति चेत्सौम्या नृपतुल्यो भवेन्नरः

daśamaikādaśe riṣphalagnavittasahotthabhe | grahāstiṣṭhanti cetsaumyā nṛpatulyo bhavennaraḥ

If benefic planets stand in the tenth, the eleventh, the twelfth (riḥpha), the ascendant, the second (vitta) and the third, the man becomes the equal of a king.

केन्द्रत्रिकोणगाः सौम्या पापाः षड्लाभसोदराः । लग्नाधिपे बलवति नृपतुल्यो भवेन्नरः

kendratrikoṇagāḥ saumyā pāpāḥ ṣaḍlābhasodarāḥ | lagnādhipe balavati nṛpatulyo bhavennaraḥ

When benefics occupy the kendras and the trines, malefics the sixth, the eleventh and the third, and the lord of the ascendant is strong, the man becomes the equal of a king.

दृश्यते युज्यते वापि चन्द्रजेन बृहस्पतिः । शिरसा शासनं तस्य धारयन्ति नृपास्तदा

dṛśyate yujyate vāpi candrajena bṛhaspatiḥ | śirasā śāsanaṃ tasya dhārayanti nṛpāstadā

If Jupiter is aspected by or joined with Mercury (the Moon's son), kings then bear the native's command upon their heads.

नीचस्थितो जन्मनि यो ग्रहः स्यात्तद्राशिनाथोऽथ तदुच्चनाथः । स चेद्विलग्नाद्यदि केन्द्रवर्ती राजा भवेद्धार्मिकचक्रवर्ती

nīcasthito janmani yo grahaḥ syāttadrāśinātho'tha taduccanāthaḥ | sa cedvilagnādyadi kendravartī rājā bhaveddhārmikacakravartī

Whatever planet stands debilitated at birth — if the lord of that sign, or the lord of that planet's exaltation sign, occupies a kendra from the ascendant, the native becomes a righteous universal emperor.

निशाकरे केन्द्रगते विलग्नं त्यक्त्वा त्रिकोणे यदि जीवदृष्टे । शुक्रेण दृष्टे बलपूर्णयुक्ते जातो नरो भूपतितुल्यभाग्यः

niśākare kendragate vilagnaṃ tyaktvā trikoṇe yadi jīvadṛṣṭe | śukreṇa dṛṣṭe balapūrṇayukte jāto naro bhūpatitulyabhāgyaḥ

If the Moon occupies a kendra other than the ascendant, or a trine, and is aspected by Jupiter, and further aspected by Venus and endowed with full strength, the man born has the fortune of a king.

नीचस्थिता जन्मनि ये ग्रहेन्द्राः स्वोच्चांशगा राजसमानभाग्याः । उच्चस्थिता चेदपि नीचभागा ग्रहा न कुर्वन्ति तथैव भाग्यम्

nīcasthitā janmani ye grahendrāḥ svoccāṃśagā rājasamānabhāgyāḥ | uccasthitā cedapi nīcabhāgā grahā na kurvanti tathaiva bhāgyam

Those chief planets that are debilitated at birth but occupy the navāṃśas of their own exaltation give fortune equal to a king's. But planets that are exalted while occupying debilitated navāṃśas do not give such fortune.

ग्रहा बलाढ्या यदि पूर्वषट्के स्वोच्चस्थिताः पूर्वदले नृपः स्यात् । तद्व्यत्ययं पश्चिमभाग्ययुक्ता मिश्रस्थिताश्चेदुभयत्र भाग्यम्

grahā balāḍhyā yadi pūrvaṣaṭke svoccasthitāḥ pūrvadale nṛpaḥ syāt | tadvyatyayaṃ paścimabhāgyayuktā miśrasthitāścedubhayatra bhāgyam

If planets rich in strength stand exalted in the first six houses, the native is a king in the earlier part of his life; if they are in the latter half, his fortune comes later; and if they stand mixed, fortune comes in both parts.

त्रेधा विभज्यन्तु वयःप्रमाणं खण्डत्रयं तत्र वदन्ति सन्तः । व्ययादिकं प्राथमिके च खण्डे शुभग्रहाः शोभनमत्र दद्युः

tredhā vibhajyantu vayaḥpramāṇaṃ khaṇḍatrayaṃ tatra vadanti santaḥ | vyayādikaṃ prāthamike ca khaṇḍe śubhagrahāḥ śobhanamatra dadyuḥ

Let the measure of the lifespan be divided into three; the good declare that there are three segments. In the first segment the twelfth house and the rest are considered, and benefic planets there give auspicious results.

खण्डे द्वितीये बहवश्च सौम्याः तथैव सौख्यं तु तृतीयखण्डे । खण्डे तु यस्मिन् बहवश्च पापा नीचांशगा मूढसमन्वितास्तु

khaṇḍe dvitīye bahavaśca saumyāḥ tathaiva saukhyaṃ tu tṛtīyakhaṇḍe | khaṇḍe tu yasmin bahavaśca pāpā nīcāṃśagā mūḍhasamanvitāstu

If benefics are many in the second segment, and likewise comfort follows in the third segment. But in whichever segment there are many malefics, occupying debilitated navāṃśas and combust —

दुःखं भवेत्तत्र विशेषतस्तु राज्यात्पदभ्रंशमुदाहरन्ति । एवं भवेच्छोभनखेचरेन्द्रैः खण्डान्वितैः शोभनकालमाहुः

duḥkhaṃ bhavettatra viśeṣatastu rājyātpadabhraṃśamudāharanti | evaṃ bhavecchobhanakhecarendraiḥ khaṇḍānvitaiḥ śobhanakālamāhuḥ

— there is sorrow in that segment, and in particular they declare loss of position from the kingdom. Conversely, when auspicious chief planets occupy a segment, they call that an auspicious period.

लग्ने गुरौ बुधे केन्द्रे भाग्यनाथेन वीक्षिते । लग्नेशे वापि सन्दृष्टे नृपतुल्यो भवेन्नरः

lagne gurau budhe kendre bhāgyanāthena vīkṣite | lagneśe vāpi sandṛṣṭe nṛpatulyo bhavennaraḥ

With Jupiter in the ascendant and Mercury in a kendra, aspected by the lord of the ninth (bhāgyanātha), or aspected by the lord of the ascendant, the man becomes the equal of a king.

सप्तमे जीवसंयुक्ते त्रिकोणे वा समन्विते । लग्नाधिपेन सन्दृष्टे नृपतुल्यो भवेन्नरः

saptame jīvasaṃyukte trikoṇe vā samanvite | lagnādhipena sandṛṣṭe nṛpatulyo bhavennaraḥ

If Jupiter is joined [with a planet] in the seventh, or joined [with one] in a trine, and is aspected by the lord of the ascendant, the man becomes the equal of a king.

केन्द्रे शनौ त्रिकोणे वा स्वोच्चमूलत्रिकोणगे । राज्याधिपेन सन्दृष्टे नृपमानसमन्वितः

kendre śanau trikoṇe vā svoccamūlatrikoṇage | rājyādhipena sandṛṣṭe nṛpamānasamanvitaḥ

If Saturn is in a kendra or a trine in his own exaltation or mūlatrikoṇa, and is aspected by the lord of the tenth, the native is endowed with the honour of a king.

कर्मेशे रन्ध्रभावस्थे स्वोच्चमित्रांशसंयुते । पारावतांशके वापि राजराजो भवेन्नरः

karmeśe randhrabhāvasthe svoccamitrāṃśasaṃyute | pārāvatāṃśake vāpi rājarājo bhavennaraḥ

If the lord of the tenth (karmeśa) occupies the eighth house while joined with an exaltation or friendly navāṃśa, or stands in a pārāvatāṃśa, the man becomes a king of kings.

नीचे गुरौ विलग्नस्थे रन्ध्रस्थे वाऽथ धर्मपे । तथाविधांशसंयुक्ते राजराजो भवेन्नरः

nīce gurau vilagnasthe randhrasthe vā'tha dharmape | tathāvidhāṃśasaṃyukte rājarājo bhavennaraḥ

If Jupiter, though debilitated, stands in the ascendant, or if the lord of the ninth stands in the eighth, joined with divisions of the kind just described, the man becomes a king of kings.

गुरौ व्यये शनौ लाभे रवौ वा विक्रमाधिपे । गुरौ व्यये विलग्नेशे राजराजो भवेन्नरः

gurau vyaye śanau lābhe ravau vā vikramādhipe | gurau vyaye vilagneśe rājarājo bhavennaraḥ

With Jupiter in the twelfth, Saturn in the eleventh, and the Sun as lord of the third; or with Jupiter in the twelfth and the lord of the ascendant there, the man becomes a king of kings.

पञ्चमे जीवसंयुक्ते चन्द्रे केन्द्रे बृहस्पतौ । स्थिरलग्ने तदीशे तु राज्यस्थे नृपतिर्भवेत्

pañcame jīvasaṃyukte candre kendre bṛhaspatau | sthiralagne tadīśe tu rājyasthe nṛpatirbhavet

If the Moon is joined with Jupiter in the fifth, and Jupiter is in a kendra, and the ascendant is a fixed sign whose lord occupies the tenth, the native becomes a king.

पूर्वषट्के ग्रहाः सर्वे यस्य तिष्ठन्ति जन्मनि । भाग्याधिपे धनस्थे वा सचन्द्रे नृपतिर्भवेत्

pūrvaṣaṭke grahāḥ sarve yasya tiṣṭhanti janmani | bhāgyādhipe dhanasthe vā sacandre nṛpatirbhavet

He in whose nativity all the planets stand in the first six houses, and whose lord of the ninth is in the second along with the Moon, becomes a king.

चन्द्राधिष्ठितराश्यंशनाथे केन्द्रायकोणगे । बुधात्केन्द्रगते वापि राजराजो भवेन्नरः

candrādhiṣṭhitarāśyaṃśanāthe kendrāyakoṇage | budhātkendragate vāpi rājarājo bhavennaraḥ

If the lord of the sign and navāṃśa occupied by the Moon is in a kendra, in the eleventh, or in a trine, or is in a kendra reckoned from Mercury, the man becomes a king of kings.

निशाकरः सभौमस्तु वित्ते वा विक्रमेऽपि वा । पञ्चमे राहुसंयुक्ते राजराजो भवेन्नरः

niśākaraḥ sabhaumastu vitte vā vikrame'pi vā | pañcame rāhusaṃyukte rājarājo bhavennaraḥ

If the Moon together with Mars occupies the second or the third, and Rāhu is joined in the fifth, the man becomes a king of kings.

भाग्याधिपसमायुक्तनवांशाधिपतौ सुखे । पुत्रस्थानगते वापि नृपश्रेष्ठो भवेन्नरः

bhāgyādhipasamāyuktanavāṃśādhipatau sukhe | putrasthānagate vāpi nṛpaśreṣṭho bhavennaraḥ

If the lord of the navāṃśa joined with the lord of the ninth occupies the fourth (sukha) or the fifth (the house of sons), the man becomes the foremost of kings.

क्रूरे सकर्मभावेशे ग्रहास्तिष्ठन्ति चेत्क्रमात् । लग्नादिपूर्वषट्केऽस्मिन् राजराजो भवेन्नरः

krūre sakarmabhāveśe grahāstiṣṭhanti cetkramāt | lagnādipūrvaṣaṭke'smin rājarājo bhavennaraḥ

If the planets stand in order in the first six houses reckoned from the lagna, together with the lord of the 10th (karma-bhāva) though he be a malefic, the man becomes a king of kings.

लग्ने चरे तदीशेऽपि चरराश्यंशकान्विते । भाग्येशे चरराशिस्थे भूमिपालोऽन्यदेशगः

lagne care tadīśe'pi cararāśyaṃśakānvite | bhāgyeśe cararāśisthe bhūmipālo'nyadeśagaḥ

When the lagna is a movable sign, its lord too is in a movable sign and navāṃśa, and the lord of the 9th stands in a movable sign, the native is a ruler of the earth who dwells in another country.

राजयोगादिसञ्जाते तथा वाच्योऽन्यथा न हि । उत्तमांशगते चन्द्रे गुरौ नीचांशवर्जिते

rājayogādisañjāte tathā vācyo'nyathā na hi | uttamāṃśagate candre gurau nīcāṃśavarjite

This is to be declared only when a rājayoga or the like has arisen, and not otherwise. When the Moon is in an excellent navāṃśa and Jupiter is free from a debilitation navāṃśa —

त्रयो वा द्वौ खगौ वापि चत्वारो नीचसंयुताः

trayo vā dvau khagau vāpi catvāro nīcasaṃyutāḥ

— or when three, or two, or four planets are joined with debilitation,

शुभषष्ट्यंशसंयुक्ताः स्वोच्चांशे वा धरापतिः

śubhaṣaṣṭyaṃśasaṃyuktāḥ svoccāṃśe vā dharāpatiḥ

— but are joined with benefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśas, or stand in their own exaltation navāṃśa, the native is a lord of the earth.

नीचस्थितांशनाथस्तु खेटः केन्द्रत्रिकोणगः । चरलग्ने तदीशे तु चरांशादौ नृपो भवेत्

nīcasthitāṃśanāthastu kheṭaḥ kendratrikoṇagaḥ | caralagne tadīśe tu carāṃśādau nṛpo bhavet

When the planet that is lord of the navāṃśa occupied by a debilitated planet stands in a kendra or a trine, and the lagna is movable with its lord in a movable navāṃśa and so forth, the native becomes a king.

माने राहौ भवे मन्दे भाग्यनाथेन वीक्षिते । लग्नेशे नीचखेटेन युते नृपसमो भवेत्

māne rāhau bhave mande bhāgyanāthena vīkṣite | lagneśe nīcakheṭena yute nṛpasamo bhavet
