Vṛddha Yavanajātaka

सृष्टौ विधात्रे जगतां शिवाय संहारकाले स्थितयेऽच्युनाय । तुभ्यं नमः सर्वगताय नित्यं त्रयीमयायामलभास्कराय

sṛṣṭau vidhātre jagatāṃ śivāya saṃhārakāle sthitaye'cyunāya | tubhyaṃ namaḥ sarvagatāya nityaṃ trayīmayāyāmalabhāskarāya

To Vidhātṛ at the creation of the worlds, to Śiva at the time of ⟨their⟩ dissolution, to Acyuta for ⟨their⟩ maintenance — homage to you, all-pervading, eternal, made of the threefold Veda, the spotless Sun (Bhāskara).

यदुक्तवान् पूर्वमुनिस्तु शास्त्रं होरामयं लक्षमितं मयाय । तन्मीनराजो निपुणं स्वबुद्ध्या विचिन्त्य चक्रेऽष्टसहस्रमात्रम्

yaduktavān pūrvamunistu śāstraṃ horāmayaṃ lakṣamitaṃ mayāya | tanmīnarājo nipuṇaṃ svabuddhyā vicintya cakre'ṣṭasahasramātram

The horā-śāstra, measured at a hundred thousand ⟨verses⟩, which the sage formerly declared to Maya — that Mīnarāja, pondering it skilfully with his own intellect, made into a mere eight thousand.

या पूर्वकर्मप्रभवस्य धात्री धात्रा ललाटे लिखिता प्रशस्तिः । तां शास्त्रमेतत् प्रकटं विधत्ते दीपो यथा वस्तुघनेऽन्धकारे

yā pūrvakarmaprabhavasya dhātrī dhātrā lalāṭe likhitā praśastiḥ | tāṃ śāstrametat prakaṭaṃ vidhatte dīpo yathā vastughane'ndhakāre

That inscription (praśasti), written by the Creator (Dhātṛ) on the forehead, which is the sustainer of what springs from former karma — this śāstra makes it manifest, as a lamp ⟨makes⟩ an object ⟨visible⟩ in thick darkness.

आद्यः स्मृतो मेषसमानमूर्तिः कालस्य मूर्धा गदितः पुराणैः । सोऽजाविकासंधरकन्दराद्रीस्तेनाग्निधात्वाकररत्नभूमीः

ādyaḥ smṛto meṣasamānamūrtiḥ kālasya mūrdhā gaditaḥ purāṇaiḥ | so'jāvikāsaṃdharakandarādrīstenāgnidhātvākararatnabhūmīḥ

The first ⟨sign⟩ is remembered as having a form like a ram; the ancients declared it the head of Kāla. It ⟨holds⟩ goats and sheep, ⟨…⟩, ravines and mountains; through it ⟨come⟩ lands of fire, of metals, of mines and of gems.

वृषाकृतिस्तू प्रथितो द्वितीयः सावक्त्रकभूयतनं विधातुः । .......... द्रसानुद्वयगाकु नानां कृषीबलानां च वीदारभूमीः

vṛṣākṛtistū prathito dvitīyaḥ sāvaktrakabhūyatanaṃ vidhātuḥ | .......... drasānudvayagāku nānāṃ kṛṣībalānāṃ ca vīdārabhūmīḥ

The second is renowned as bull-formed; it is the seat of the Creator's face. ⟨lacuna — our source carries a run of dots here⟩ ⟨…⟩ and the ploughed lands of husbandmen.

वीणागदाभृन्मिथुनस्तृतीयः प्रजापतेः स्कन्धभुतप्रदेशः । प्रनर्तकीगायनशिन्मिकस्त्रा क्रीडारनिद्यूतविहारभूमिः

vīṇāgadābhṛnmithunastṛtīyaḥ prajāpateḥ skandhabhutapradeśaḥ | pranartakīgāyanaśinmikastrā krīḍāranidyūtavihārabhūmiḥ

The third, Mithuna, bearing a lute and a club, is the region that is Prajāpati's shoulders. Dancing-women, singers, artisans, women ⟨…⟩ — grounds of sport, love-making, gambling and pleasure ⟨are its⟩.

कर्की कुलीराकृतिरम्बुसंस्थो वक्षःप्रदेशो .......... केदारवापीपुलिनानि रत्न देवाङ्गनानां च विहारभूमिः

karkī kulīrākṛtirambusaṃstho vakṣaḥpradeśo .......... kedāravāpīpulināni ratna devāṅganānāṃ ca vihārabhūmiḥ

Karkin, crab-formed, seated in the water, is the region of the chest ⟨the close of this pāda is printed in the edition but our source did not read it⟩. Rice-fields, tanks, sandbanks, gems, and the pleasure-grounds of the women of the gods ⟨are its places⟩.

सिंहस्तु शैले हृदयप्रदेशः प्रजापतेः पञ्चममाहुराद्याः । तस्यातंचीदगगुहाबनाद्रिब्रह्मा वनिभूमिवनप्रदेशाः

siṃhastu śaile hṛdayapradeśaḥ prajāpateḥ pañcamamāhurādyāḥ | tasyātaṃcīdagaguhābanādribrahmā vanibhūmivanapradeśāḥ

Siṃha ⟨dwells⟩ on the mountain and is the region of Prajāpati's heart; the ancients call it the fifth. Its ⟨places are⟩ ⟨…⟩ caves, woods and hills ⟨…⟩ groves and forest tracts.

प्रदीपकां गृद्ध करेणे कन्या नौस्था लले षष्ठमीति ब्रुवन्ति । कान्तार्धधारा जठरे विधातुः स शाद्बलस्त्रीरंतिशिल्पभूमीः

pradīpakāṃ gṛddha kareṇe kanyā nausthā lale ṣaṣṭhamīti bruvanti | kāntārdhadhārā jaṭhare vidhātuḥ sa śādbalastrīraṃtiśilpabhūmīḥ

Kanyā, holding a lamp in her hand and standing in a boat, ⟨…⟩ — they call ⟨her⟩ the sixth. She is at the Creator's belly; hers are grasslands, women, love-making and grounds of craft.

वीष्यां तुलापण्यधरो मनुष्यः स्थितः सनाभीकटिवस्तिदेशः । शुद्धार्धवीणापणपन्तनायसर्वानी वासोन्नतसस्यभूमिः

vīṣyāṃ tulāpaṇyadharo manuṣyaḥ sthitaḥ sanābhīkaṭivastideśaḥ | śuddhārdhavīṇāpaṇapantanāyasarvānī vāsonnatasasyabhūmiḥ

⟨In the market-street⟩ a man stands holding a balance and merchandise; it is the region of the navel, waist and lower belly. ⟨…⟩ market ⟨…⟩ dwellings and lands of high-standing crops.

श्चभ्रेऽष्टमे वृश्चिकविग्नहस्तु प्रोक्तः प्रभोर्मेद्रगुदप्रदेशः । गुहाविलश्चभ्रविणाश्मगुप्ति वल्मीककीटाजगराहिभूमिः

ścabhre'ṣṭame vṛścikavignahastu proktaḥ prabhormedragudapradeśaḥ | guhāvilaścabhraviṇāśmagupti valmīkakīṭājagarāhibhūmiḥ

The eighth, in a pit, is declared to be scorpion-bodied; it is the region of the Lord's penis and anus. Caves, burrows, pits, ⟨…⟩ rock-fastnesses, ant-hills, ⟨insects⟩, and the ground of boa-constrictors and snakes ⟨are its⟩.

धन्वी मनुष्यो हयपश्चिमार्धसमाहुरुरु भुवनप्रणेतुः । समस्थितव्यससमस्तवाजीकृतास्त्रौभृद्वज्नरथाश्चभूमिः

dhanvī manuṣyo hayapaścimārdhasamāhururu bhuvanapraṇetuḥ | samasthitavyasasamastavājīkṛtāstraubhṛdvajnarathāścabhūmiḥ

A man with a bow whose hinder half is a horse — they call ⟨that sign⟩ the thighs of the Leader of the world. ⟨…⟩ horses, bearers of finished weapons, ⟨…⟩ thunderbolt⟨-arms⟩, chariots and horse-grounds ⟨are its⟩.

मृगार्धपूर्वो मकरोऽम्बुमध्ये जानुप्रदेशं तमुशन्ति धातुः । नदीवनारण्यसरोजरूपश्चभ्राधिवासो दशमः प्रदिष्टः

mṛgārdhapūrvo makaro'mbumadhye jānupradeśaṃ tamuśanti dhātuḥ | nadīvanāraṇyasarojarūpaścabhrādhivāso daśamaḥ pradiṣṭaḥ

Makara, whose forward half is a deer, ⟨lies⟩ in the midst of the water; they hold it to be the region of the Creator's knees. Rivers, woods, wildernesses, lotus-lakes and pits are its abode; it is declared the tenth.

स्कन्धे तु रिक्तः पुरुषस्य कुम्भो जंघोरुमेकादशमाहुराद्याः । तस्योदकाधारकसस्यपक्षीस्त्रीशौण्डिकद्यूतनिवेशदेशाः

skandhe tu riktaḥ puruṣasya kumbho jaṃghorumekādaśamāhurādyāḥ | tasyodakādhārakasasyapakṣīstrīśauṇḍikadyūtaniveśadeśāḥ

On the shoulder, the man's empty ⟨pot⟩ — Kumbha; the ancients call the eleventh the lower legs and thighs. Its districts are water-reservoirs, grain, birds, women, distillers and gambling-quarters.

जते तु मीनद्वयमन्यराशिः कालस्य पादौ कथितौ वरिश्चैः । स पुण्यदेवद्विज .......... आर्थभूमि.......... वासः

jate tu mīnadvayamanyarāśiḥ kālasya pādau kathitau variścaiḥ | sa puṇyadevadvija .......... ārthabhūmi.......... vāsaḥ

In water, a pair of fish is the last sign; the most eminent ⟨of the ancients⟩ called ⟨it⟩ the two feet of Kāla. It ⟨is the abode of⟩ holy ⟨places⟩, gods and twice-born men ⟨lacuna — our source carries a run of dots here⟩ ⟨…⟩ land ⟨lacuna⟩ dwelling.

इदं जगत् स्थावरजङ्गमाख्यं सर्वं रवीन्द्वात्मकमाहुराद्याः । तस्योद्भवोऽत्रापचयश्च दृष्टो भमण्डलेऽप्येव तदात्मकं तत्

idaṃ jagat sthāvarajaṅgamākhyaṃ sarvaṃ ravīndvātmakamāhurādyāḥ | tasyodbhavo'trāpacayaśca dṛṣṭo bhamaṇḍale'pyeva tadātmakaṃ tat

This whole world, named 'the still and the moving', the ancients declare to be of the nature of Sun and Moon. Its arising, and here its waning, are seen; and in the circle of the asterisms too it is of that same nature.

तस्यार्धमार्कं विहितं मघादि सार्पादि चान्द्रं विहितं परार्धम् । क्रमेण सूर्यः प्रददौ ग्रहाणां व्यस्तेन नाराधिपतिस्तथैश्च

tasyārdhamārkaṃ vihitaṃ maghādi sārpādi cāndraṃ vihitaṃ parārdham | krameṇa sūryaḥ pradadau grahāṇāṃ vyastena nārādhipatistathaiśca

Half of it, beginning with Maghā, is assigned to the Sun; the further half, beginning with Sārpa ⟨Āśleṣā⟩, is assigned to the Moon. The Sun gave ⟨the signs⟩ to the grahas in order, and the lord of night likewise in the reverse order.

बुधस्य शुक्रस्य धरासुतस्य बृहस्पतेर्भास्करनन्दनस्य । दे.......... गृहे तेषु यथानुरूपं फलं विधेयं निपुणं विदग्धैः

budhasya śukrasya dharāsutasya bṛhaspaterbhāskaranandanasya | de.......... gṛhe teṣu yathānurūpaṃ phalaṃ vidheyaṃ nipuṇaṃ vidagdhaiḥ

Of Budha, of Śukra, of Dharāsuta ⟨Mars⟩, of Bṛhaspati, of Bhāskaranandana ⟨Saturn⟩ — ⟨lacuna — our source carries a run of dots here⟩ in those houses the fruit is to be determined by the learned, aptly and with precision.

एषां पुमांसो विषमाः प्रदिष्टाः समा युवत्यः फलदास्तथैव । क्रूरस्वभावाः शुभमूर्तयश्च चरागमिश्राः क्रमशश्च सर्वे ज्ञेयाः स्वभावेन शुभाशुभेषु

eṣāṃ pumāṃso viṣamāḥ pradiṣṭāḥ samā yuvatyaḥ phaladāstathaiva | krūrasvabhāvāḥ śubhamūrtayaśca carāgamiśrāḥ kramaśaśca sarve jñeyāḥ svabhāvena śubhāśubheṣu

Among these, the odd ⟨signs⟩ are declared male, the even ones young women, and they give their fruits accordingly. Malefic in nature and benign in form, movable, fixed and mixed in turn — all are to be known by their own nature in auspicious and inauspicious ⟨matters⟩.

मेषो हरिः प्राग् नवमश्च नाथा याम्याधिपो गोप्रमदामृगाश्च । नृयुक्तुलाकुम्भधरापरास्याः कर्कालिमीनास्त्वथ चोत्तरायाः

meṣo hariḥ prāg navamaśca nāthā yāmyādhipo gopramadāmṛgāśca | nṛyuktulākumbhadharāparāsyāḥ karkālimīnāstvatha cottarāyāḥ

Meṣa, Hari ⟨Siṃha⟩ and the ninth ⟨Dhanus⟩ are lords of the east; the lord of the south is Go ⟨Vṛṣa⟩, with Pramadā ⟨Kanyā⟩ and Mṛga ⟨Makara⟩. Nṛyuk ⟨Mithuna⟩, Tulā and the pot-bearer ⟨Kumbha⟩ face the west; and Karka, Ali ⟨Vṛścika⟩ and Mīna belong to the north.

एषां नवांशाः प्रभवन्ति सूर्यात् सूर्यांशकास्याश्च निजालयस्थात् । आद्येषुनन्दागृहपालकानां द्रेष्काणसंज्ञाः क्रमशो विचिन्त्याः

eṣāṃ navāṃśāḥ prabhavanti sūryāt sūryāṃśakāsyāśca nijālayasthāt | ādyeṣunandāgṛhapālakānāṃ dreṣkāṇasaṃjñāḥ kramaśo vicintyāḥ

Their navāṃśas arise from the Sun; and the Sun-portions ⟨are reckoned⟩ from ⟨that⟩ standing in its own house. The drekkāṇas, named after the lords of the first, the fifth (iṣu) and the ninth (nanda) house, are to be considered in order.

होराद्वयं भानुनिशाकराभ्यामोजे समे व्यस्तमुशन्ति तज्ज्ञाः । कुजस्य बाणा इषवश्च सौरेनष्टौ गुरोः सप्त शशाङ्कजस्य

horādvayaṃ bhānuniśākarābhyāmoje same vyastamuśanti tajjñāḥ | kujasya bāṇā iṣavaśca saurenaṣṭau guroḥ sapta śaśāṅkajasya

The two horās ⟨of a sign⟩ belong to the Sun and the Moon in an odd ⟨sign⟩; in an even one, reversed — so say those who know. Five (bāṇāḥ) are Mars's and five (iṣavaḥ, 'arrows') Saturn's; eight are Jupiter's, seven Mercury's (Śaśāṅkaja's).

भृगोः शरा पुंभवने प्रदिष्टास्त्रिंशांशकाः स्त्रीभवने विलोमम् । सप्तांशकाः सप्तमराशिपूर्वाः षष्टीर्विभागा भवनस्य मेषात्

bhṛgoḥ śarā puṃbhavane pradiṣṭāstriṃśāṃśakāḥ strībhavane vilomam | saptāṃśakāḥ saptamarāśipūrvāḥ ṣaṣṭīrvibhāgā bhavanasya meṣāt

Five (śarāḥ) are declared to be Venus's (Bhṛgu's). These triṃśāṃśas ⟨are counted so⟩ in a male sign; in a female sign, in reverse. The saptāṃśas begin from the seventh sign; the sixty divisions of a sign ⟨are counted⟩ from Meṣa.

चूडापदं द्विस्वरसप्तलिप्तमाद्यं पुराणा गृहलिप्तिकानाम् । नृराशिसंज्ञाः पुरतो वरिष्ठाश्चतुष्पदाश्चैव तु दक्षिणस्थाम्

cūḍāpadaṃ dvisvarasaptaliptamādyaṃ purāṇā gṛhaliptikānām | nṛrāśisaṃjñāḥ purato variṣṭhāścatuṣpadāścaiva tu dakṣiṇasthām

The ancients ⟨call⟩ the first of the minute-divisions (liptikā) of a sign the cūḍāpada, of dvi-svara-sapta minutes. The signs named nṛrāśi ⟨human, biped⟩ are foremost in the east; and the four-footed ones stand in the south.

तथापरस्यां प्रभवन्ति कीटा जलोद्भवाश्चैव तथोत्तरस्याम् । सौम्योद्भवाः प्राग्बलवृद्धिभाजो भवन्ति याम्यास्त्वथ पश्चिमस्याम्

tathāparasyāṃ prabhavanti kīṭā jalodbhavāścaiva tathottarasyām | saumyodbhavāḥ prāgbalavṛddhibhājo bhavanti yāmyāstvatha paścimasyām

Likewise the insect ⟨signs⟩ come into their strength in the west, and the water-born in the north. Those arising in the north gain increase of strength in the east; and the southern ones ⟨gain it⟩ in the west.

गृहा ग्रहाणां विषयेणू योग्याः फलार्थिभिर्हानिकरस्तथान्ये । द्युरात्रिसन्धौ प्रबलाश्च कीटा दिवा पुमांसः पशवश्च रात्रौ

gṛhā grahāṇāṃ viṣayeṇū yogyāḥ phalārthibhirhānikarastathānye | dyurātrisandhau prabalāśca kīṭā divā pumāṃsaḥ paśavaśca rātrau

The houses of the grahas are, by their province, fit for those who seek results; the others cause loss. The insect ⟨signs⟩ are strong at the juncture of day and night, the male ⟨signs⟩ by day, and the animal ⟨signs⟩ by night.

यः स्वामियुक्तस्त्वथवादि दृष्टः सौम्यग्रहैर्वा स भवेद्वरिष्ठः । राशिं गतो व.......... शुभमध्यभागं क्रूरैर्वियुक्तो बहुसौम्यदृष्टः

yaḥ svāmiyuktastvathavādi dṛṣṭaḥ saumyagrahairvā sa bhavedvariṣṭhaḥ | rāśiṃ gato va.......... śubhamadhyabhāgaṃ krūrairviyukto bahusaumyadṛṣṭaḥ

⟨A sign⟩ that is joined by its lord, or else aspected ⟨by it⟩, or by benefic grahas, becomes the best. ⟨A graha⟩ that has gone to a sign ⟨lacuna — our source carries a run of dots here⟩ the auspicious middle portion, disjoined from malefics and aspected by many benefics ⟨is strongest⟩.

तनुविलग्नं सुभगं वरिष्ठं मूर्धानदोहं सुरणं निवासम् । मूर्तिः फलं श्रीफलमिष्टदं च संज्ञानकं पूर्वगृहं वदन्ति

tanuvilagnaṃ subhagaṃ variṣṭhaṃ mūrdhānadohaṃ suraṇaṃ nivāsam | mūrtiḥ phalaṃ śrīphalamiṣṭadaṃ ca saṃjñānakaṃ pūrvagṛhaṃ vadanti

Tanu ⟨body⟩, vilagna ⟨the ascendant⟩, subhaga, variṣṭha, mūrdhan ⟨head⟩, ⟨…⟩doha, śaraṇa ⟨refuge⟩, nivāsa ⟨dwelling⟩, mūrti ⟨form⟩, phala ⟨fruit⟩, śrīphala, iṣṭada ⟨giver of what is desired⟩ and saṃjñānaka — ⟨by these names⟩ they call the first house.

कोशो धनं दर्भकसिद्धिमेदं प्रभूषिणं भासुरक्तं द्वितीयम्

kośo dhanaṃ darbhakasiddhimedaṃ prabhūṣiṇaṃ bhāsuraktaṃ dvitīyam

Kośa ⟨treasury⟩, dhana ⟨wealth⟩, ⟨…⟩siddhi ⟨attainment⟩⟨…⟩, prabhūṣin, bhāsurakta — ⟨these are the names of⟩ the second ⟨house⟩.

तृतीयमुत्पातहरं .......... वदन्ति व्रीजाङ्कुरकं तमीड्यम्

tṛtīyamutpātaharaṃ .......... vadanti vrījāṅkurakaṃ tamīḍyam

The third ⟨house⟩ they call utpātahara ⟨remover of calamity⟩ ⟨lacuna — our source carries a run of dots here⟩; ⟨and⟩ vrījāṅkuraka — it is to be praised (īḍya).

सुखं सुगम्यं ह्यथ बन्धुलीने गृहं सुहृत्तुर्यवीनमारेम । मित्रं प्रशान्तं गुरुणा विशालं नृणां कनीकं प्रचुरं कुतालम्

sukhaṃ sugamyaṃ hyatha bandhulīne gṛhaṃ suhṛtturyavīnamārema | mitraṃ praśāntaṃ guruṇā viśālaṃ nṛṇāṃ kanīkaṃ pracuraṃ kutālam

⟨The fourth house they name⟩ sukha ('ease'), sugamya ('easily come to'), and then bandhu ('kinsfolk') and līna ('the lying-hidden'), gṛha ('the home'), suhṛt ('the friend'), turya ('the fourth'), vīna, ārema; mitra ('the friend'), praśānta ('the wholly stilled'), viśāla ('the broad') along with guru ('the elder'), and, among men, kanīka, pracura ('the abundant'), kutāla.

सन्तानकं दात्रकरं सुतास्य गृहीतसारं प्रवरं सुहोप्रम् । स्यात् पंचमं पूर्वकरं कृतालं सारार्थवर्णेडकरं कृतीनाम्

santānakaṃ dātrakaraṃ sutāsya gṛhītasāraṃ pravaraṃ suhopram | syāt paṃcamaṃ pūrvakaraṃ kṛtālaṃ sārārthavarṇeḍakaraṃ kṛtīnām

⟨The fifth is called⟩ santānaka ('offspring'), dātrakara ('the giver'), suta ('the child'), gṛhītasāra ('that whose essence is seized'), pravara ('the foremost'), suhopra; the fifth is pūrvakara ('the first-acting'), kṛtāla, and sārārtha-varṇeḍakara — so ⟨it is named⟩ among the accomplished.

पुरावनिं सान्द्रकरं कृर्तानां षष्ठं प्रतीपं सुरिपुं च शक्तम् । संशोषिणं श्रीदमदं सुबालं निराहतं वार्निकरं वृथाद्यम्

purāvaniṃ sāndrakaraṃ kṛrtānāṃ ṣaṣṭhaṃ pratīpaṃ suripuṃ ca śaktam | saṃśoṣiṇaṃ śrīdamadaṃ subālaṃ nirāhataṃ vārnikaraṃ vṛthādyam

⟨The sixth they call⟩ purāvani, sāndrakara ('the thickener'), — of the kṛrtas ⟨the word is corrupt⟩ — the sixth, pratīpa ('the contrary'), suripu ('the very enemy'), and śakta ('the potent'); saṃśoṣin ('the witherer'), śrīdamada, subāla, nirāhata ('the unsmitten'), vārnikara, vṛthādya ('vain from the first').

स्यादपीनं कूर्दतरं वितानं द्यूनं कलत्रं मदनं सुतारम् । द्यूनं धनं सन्ततिदं सुकामं .......... आमित्रमात्रं रतिदं प्रसिदम्

syādapīnaṃ kūrdataraṃ vitānaṃ dyūnaṃ kalatraṃ madanaṃ sutāram | dyūnaṃ dhanaṃ santatidaṃ sukāmaṃ .......... āmitramātraṃ ratidaṃ prasidam

⟨The seventh⟩ would be apīna, kūrdatara, vitāna, dyūna ('the setting place'), kalatra ('the wife'), madana ('desire'), sutāra; dyūna, dhana ('wealth'), santatida ('progeny-giving'), sukāma ('rich in desire'), ⟨here our source did not read its exemplar⟩, āmitramātra, ratida ('pleasure-giving'), prasida.

मृत्युं खनं छिद्रमय प्रकीर्णं पैशानिकं दिष्ट्रिकमार्तिदं च । दशारिकं साङ्गारिकं नराणां स्यात्तदृकाख्यं कृकमादिकाख्यम्

mṛtyuṃ khanaṃ chidramaya prakīrṇaṃ paiśānikaṃ diṣṭrikamārtidaṃ ca | daśārikaṃ sāṅgārikaṃ narāṇāṃ syāttadṛkākhyaṃ kṛkamādikākhyam

⟨The eighth they call⟩ mṛtyu ('death'), khana ('the pit'), chidra ('the breach'), prakīrṇa ('the scattered'), paiśānika, diṣṭrika, and ārtida ('the giver of pain'); among men it is daśārika and sāṅgārika, and it bears the name tadṛk and the name kṛkamādika.

धर्मद्युतिं धीतिकरं विशा.......... ं तृणातिकं गोयरणं गुरुत्वम् । धृतिं विकांश प्रशमं वरिष्ठं सुधाविदङ्गं नवमं व्यनाकि

dharmadyutiṃ dhītikaraṃ viśā.......... ṃ tṛṇātikaṃ goyaraṇaṃ gurutvam | dhṛtiṃ vikāṃśa praśamaṃ variṣṭhaṃ sudhāvidaṅgaṃ navamaṃ vyanāki

⟨The ninth is called⟩ dharmadyuti ('the splendour of dharma'), dhītikara, viśā— ⟨here our source did not read its exemplar, and the word breaks off⟩, tṛṇātika, goyaraṇa, gurutva ('weightiness'); dhṛti ('steadfastness'), vikāṃśa, praśama ('the stilling'), variṣṭha ('the most excellent'), sudhāvidaṅga — the ninth — vyanāki.

नभस्तलं कर्म गरिष्ठमुक्तं विभासीकं साधकमनिकं च । हितं विरात्रं दशमं किलीकं कितारवं भारवमाहीमानम्

nabhastalaṃ karma gariṣṭhamuktaṃ vibhāsīkaṃ sādhakamanikaṃ ca | hitaṃ virātraṃ daśamaṃ kilīkaṃ kitāravaṃ bhāravamāhīmānam

⟨The tenth is⟩ nabhastala ('the vault of the sky'), karma ('action'), gariṣṭha ('the weightiest') — so it is called — vibhāsīka, sādhaka ('the accomplisher') and anika; hita ('the beneficial'), virātra, the tenth, kilīka, kitārava, bhārava, āhīmāna.

आयत्तिगं लाभमितीह धारं विना किल साधिकमद्रुतं च । सुतारमध्यं सुतमष्टिपादं .......... रिष्फम्

āyattigaṃ lābhamitīha dhāraṃ vinā kila sādhikamadrutaṃ ca | sutāramadhyaṃ sutamaṣṭipādaṃ .......... riṣpham

⟨The eleventh is⟩ āyattiga, lābha ('gain') — thus here — dhāra; and, apart ⟨from these⟩, sādhika and adruta; sutāramadhya, sutāṣṭipāda, ⟨here our source did not read its exemplar⟩ riṣpha ⟨the twelfth⟩.

व्ययप्रद दातिकरं च दण्डं विरालिनं सादानिकं सुबालम् । भानुं तथा द्वादशभं कुलालं मलीभसं दारिहरं प्रवीणम्

vyayaprada dātikaraṃ ca daṇḍaṃ virālinaṃ sādānikaṃ subālam | bhānuṃ tathā dvādaśabhaṃ kulālaṃ malībhasaṃ dāriharaṃ pravīṇam

⟨The twelfth is⟩ vyayaprada ('the giver of expenditure'), dātikara, and daṇḍa ('the rod'), virālin, sādānika, subāla; bhānu, and — as the twelfth sign — kulāla ('the potter'), malībhasa, dārihara, pravīṇa ('the skilled').

चतुष्टयास्थं कथितं च केन्द्रं सर्वैष्टदं कण्टकसंज्ञितं च । लग्नं चतुष्कं दशमं च कामं सर्वाणि तुस्यानि फलेन कृत्वा

catuṣṭayāsthaṃ kathitaṃ ca kendraṃ sarvaiṣṭadaṃ kaṇṭakasaṃjñitaṃ ca | lagnaṃ catuṣkaṃ daśamaṃ ca kāmaṃ sarvāṇi tusyāni phalena kṛtvā

That which stands in the tetrad is called ⟨kathita⟩ kendra, the giver of all that is wished for, and it is named kaṇṭaka as well: the lagna, the fourth, the tenth, and kāma ⟨the seventh⟩ — all of them taken as equal in effect.

द्वितीयलाभाष्टमपंचमानीं पणाफराख्यानि वदन्ति भानि । तृतीयधर्मारिव्ययालयानि आपोक्लिमाख्यानि वदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः

dvitīyalābhāṣṭamapaṃcamānīṃ paṇāpharākhyāni vadanti bhāni | tṛtīyadharmārivyayālayāni āpoklimākhyāni vadanti tajjñāḥ

The second, the lābha ⟨eleventh⟩, the eighth and the fifth — these places they call paṇaphara. The third, the dharma ⟨ninth⟩, the ari ⟨sixth⟩ and the vyaya ⟨twelfth⟩ houses those who know them call āpoklima.

नभस्तलैकादशषट्तृकाणि वृद्धिप्रदान्येव वदन्ति पुंसाम् । मृगाजचन्द्रर्क्षतुलाधराणां वर्गोत्तमाख्याः प्रथमा नवांशाः

nabhastalaikādaśaṣaṭtṛkāṇi vṛddhipradānyeva vadanti puṃsām | mṛgājacandrarkṣatulādharāṇāṃ vargottamākhyāḥ prathamā navāṃśāḥ

The tenth (nabhastala), the eleventh, the sixth and the third — these alone, they declare, bring increase to men. Of Capricorn, Aries, the Moon's sign ⟨Cancer⟩ and Libra, the first navāṃśas are called vargottama.

गोकुम्भसिंहालिविसंचितानां स्युः पंचमाश्चान्त्यभवाः परेषाम् । नृयुक्कुलीरो वृषभोऽजसंज्ञश्चापो मृगो रात्रिबलाः षडेते

gokumbhasiṃhālivisaṃcitānāṃ syuḥ paṃcamāścāntyabhavāḥ pareṣām | nṛyukkulīro vṛṣabho'jasaṃjñaścāpo mṛgo rātribalāḥ ṣaḍete

For ⟨the signs⟩ reckoned as Taurus, Aquarius, Leo and Scorpio it is the fifth ⟨navāṃśa⟩, and for the rest the last. Gemini, Cancer, Taurus, the one called Aries, Sagittarius, Capricorn — these six are strong at night.

पृष्ठोदया द्वन्द्वविवर्जिताश्च दिवाबलान्ये शिरसोद्रमन्ति । उच्चं रवेराद्यतमादशांशश्चन्द्रस्य सप्ताश्विसमो वृषाश्च

pṛṣṭhodayā dvandvavivarjitāśca divābalānye śirasodramanti | uccaṃ raverādyatamādaśāṃśaścandrasya saptāśvisamo vṛṣāśca

These are back-rising (pṛṣṭhodaya), the dual ⟨sign⟩ excepted; the others, strong by day, rise with the head ⟨śīrṣodaya⟩. The exaltation of the Sun is the tenth degree from the very first ⟨sign⟩; and the Moon's, the degree numbered 'seven-and-the-Aśvins', in Taurus.

मृगोद्गमो भूमिसुतस्य तज्ज्ञैस्तृतीयभागः परमः प्रदिष्टः । गजाश्चिसंख्येन्दुसुतस्य षष्ठाज्जीवस्य कर्कान्तिचिसंख्य एव

mṛgodgamo bhūmisutasya tajjñaistṛtīyabhāgaḥ paramaḥ pradiṣṭaḥ | gajāścisaṃkhyendusutasya ṣaṣṭhājjīvasya karkānticisaṃkhya eva

The rising of Capricorn is Mars's ⟨exaltation⟩; those who know it declare the third portion to be its highest ⟨point⟩. Of the number 'elephant-and-Aśvins' ⟨= 28⟩ is Mercury's, from the sixth ⟨sign, Virgo⟩; and Jupiter's, in Cancer, is of the number 'ānti-ci' ⟨corrupt⟩.

स्यात् पंचमो भार्गवनन्दनस्य मीनात् स्वराश्चिस्तु शनेस्तुलस्य । विंशन्मितः पूर्णवलः प्रदिष्टः अर्वागतीते नवमे तु पातः

syāt paṃcamo bhārgavanandanasya mīnāt svarāścistu śanestulasya | viṃśanmitaḥ pūrṇavalaḥ pradiṣṭaḥ arvāgatīte navame tu pātaḥ

'The fifth' it would be — of the son of Bhṛgu ⟨Venus⟩, from Pisces, the degree 'vowels-and-the-Aśvins' ⟨= 27⟩; of Saturn, of Libra, measured as twenty. ⟨That degree⟩ is declared the point of full strength; but the fall ⟨lies⟩ in the ninth, once it has gone by on the near side.

यः सप्तमस्तुङ्गगृहस्य राशिः स नीचसंज्ञः कविभिः प्रदिष्टः । तेनैव मानेन फलं विधत्ते तुङ्गाद्विलोमं बहुदुःखकारि

yaḥ saptamastuṅgagṛhasya rāśiḥ sa nīcasaṃjñaḥ kavibhiḥ pradiṣṭaḥ | tenaiva mānena phalaṃ vidhatte tuṅgādvilomaṃ bahuduḥkhakāri

The rāśi which is the seventh from the exaltation-house — that the poets have declared to be called the debilitation. By that same measure it yields its fruit, but reversed from the exaltation, and working much sorrow.

मूलत्रिकोणं दिनपस्य सिंहो वृषः शशाङ्कस्य कुजस्य मेषः । कन्या तु चान्द्रेर्धिषणस्य चापस्तु .......... भृगोः सूर्यसुतस्य कुम्भः

mūlatrikoṇaṃ dinapasya siṃho vṛṣaḥ śaśāṅkasya kujasya meṣaḥ | kanyā tu cāndrerdhiṣaṇasya cāpastu .......... bhṛgoḥ sūryasutasya kumbhaḥ

The mūlatrikoṇa of the lord of day ⟨the Sun⟩ is Leo; of the Moon, Taurus; of Mars, Aries. Virgo is the Moon's son's ⟨Mercury's⟩; of Dhiṣaṇa ⟨Jupiter⟩, Sagittarius; ⟨here our source did not read its exemplar⟩ — of Bhṛgu ⟨Venus⟩; of the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩, Aquarius.

मेषोऽरुण्.......... श्वेततरो द्वितीयो नीलस्तृतीयोऽरुणितश्चतुर्थः । आपाण्डुर पंचमुखः प्रदिष्टो नारी विचित्रा सततं सरूपा

meṣo'ruṇ.......... śvetataro dvitīyo nīlastṛtīyo'ruṇitaścaturthaḥ | āpāṇḍura paṃcamukhaḥ pradiṣṭo nārī vicitrā satataṃ sarūpā

Aries is ruddy ⟨here our source did not read its exemplar⟩; the second ⟨Taurus⟩ is whiter; the third ⟨Gemini⟩ is dark-blue; the fourth ⟨Cancer⟩ is reddened; the fifth ⟨Leo⟩ is declared pale-whitish; the Woman ⟨Virgo⟩ is variegated and ever shapely.

tulādhara kṛṣṇataro atha babhruḥ kīṭaḥ surakto navamaḥ pradiṣṭaḥ | mṛgaḥ sumiśraḥ kapilo ghaṭākhyo dyutīvihīno'naṣasaṃjñitaśca

Libra is blacker; then the scorpion ⟨Scorpio⟩ is brown (babhru); the ninth ⟨Sagittarius⟩ is declared deep red; Capricorn is well-mixed ⟨variegated⟩; the one called the pot ⟨Aquarius⟩ is tawny; and the one named anaṣa ⟨Pisces⟩ is void of lustre.

इनः पतङ्गो मिहिरोऽथ हिंसो मित्रोऽर्यमाख्यो द्युमणिः खरांशुः । शूरः स्वगस्तीक्ष्णमयूखमाली दिनाधिपो व्रध्नहतिं प्रदिष्टः

inaḥ pataṅgo mihiro'tha hiṃso mitro'ryamākhyo dyumaṇiḥ kharāṃśuḥ | śūraḥ svagastīkṣṇamayūkhamālī dinādhipo vradhnahatiṃ pradiṣṭaḥ

Koṇa ⟨the oblique one⟩, Śani, Babhru ⟨the tawny⟩ — so is he known — Kṛṣṇa ⟨the black⟩, Yama, Manda ⟨the slow⟩, Hataṅka ⟨?⟩, Kālī ⟨?⟩, Sauri ⟨son of the Sun⟩, Sutīvra ⟨exceedingly fierce⟩, Tṛṇaka ⟨?⟩, Karāla ⟨the terrible⟩ — ⟨thus⟩ he is set down by the well-attested tradition of study.

रक्तो रविः शीतकरः सितश्च रक्तः कुजः सोमसुतस्तु पीतः । हरिद्रवर्णस्त्रिदशाधिपेज्यः शुक्रः सितः सूर्यसुतोऽसितश्च

rakto raviḥ śītakaraḥ sitaśca raktaḥ kujaḥ somasutastu pītaḥ | haridravarṇastridaśādhipejyaḥ śukraḥ sitaḥ sūryasuto'sitaśca

The Sun is red; the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩ is white; Mars is red; but the son of Soma ⟨Mercury⟩ is yellow; the one honoured by the lord of the thirty ⟨Jupiter⟩ is of turmeric hue; Venus is white; and the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩ is black.

सहस्ररश्मिर्यवनेषु जातो विभावरीशस्तु तथा कलिङ्गे । अवन्तिदेशोद्भव एव भौमः कौशाम्बिकेयो हिमरश्मिपुत्रः

sahasraraśmiryavaneṣu jāto vibhāvarīśastu tathā kaliṅge | avantideśodbhava eva bhaumaḥ kauśāmbikeyo himaraśmiputraḥ

The thousand-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩ was born among the Yavanas; the lord of night ⟨the Moon⟩ likewise in Kaliṅga; Mars arose in the very land of Avanti; the son of the cool-rayed one ⟨Mercury⟩ belongs to Kauśāmbī.

सिन्धौ प्रलायस्त्रिदशेशमन्त्री जनान्त्यभूर्भोजकटे भृगोश्च । सौराष्ट्रजस्तीक्ष्णकरस्य पुत्रो राहुमेहावर्वरसंभवश्च

⟨…⟩ the son ⟨of …⟩, then Rāhu, ⟨…⟩ the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter — these are to be reckoned in order as the presiding lords ⟨of the quarters⟩ beginning from the east; and they are fully to be considered for the purpose of direction, door ⟨and the like⟩.

पापो रविः सूर्यसुतश्च वक्रः क्षीणः शशी तत्सहितो बुधश्च । सौम्यो गुरुः सोमसुतः शशाङ्कः शुक्रश्च सर्वे प्रभवन्ति तुङ्गे

The Sun is malefic, and the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩, and Mars; ⟨so too⟩ the waning Moon, and Mercury joined with it. Benefic are Jupiter, the son of Soma ⟨Mercury⟩, the Moon and Venus; and all become powerful when exalted.

शुक्रः शशाङ्कौ युवती प्रदिष्टौ नपुंसकौ सूर्यसुतो बुधश्च । जीवार्कभौमाः पुरुषाः प्रदिष्टाः षड्वर्गशुद्धाः पुरुषाः समग्राः

Venus and the Moon are declared female; the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩ and Mercury are neuter; Jupiter, the Sun and Mars are declared male; ⟨those⟩ pure in the six vargas are complete males.

ऋग्वेदनाथस्त्रिदशाधिपेज्यो यजुर्विनेता भृगुनन्दनश्च । साम्नां तथा भूतनयः प्रसिद्धो ह्यथर्ववेदस्य शशाङ्कपुत्रः

ṛgvedanāthastridaśādhipejyo yajurvinetā bhṛgunandanaśca | sāmnāṃ tathā bhūtanayaḥ prasiddho hyatharvavedasya śaśāṅkaputraḥ

The lord of the Ṛgveda is the one honoured by the lord of the thirty ⟨Jupiter⟩; the guide of the Yajus is the delight of Bhṛgu ⟨Venus⟩; of the Sāmans the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩ is renowned; and of the Atharva⟨veda⟩, the son of the Moon ⟨Mercury⟩.

शुक्रामरेज्यौ द्विजलोकनाथौ दिवाकरारौ पृथिवीपतीनाम् । वैश्याधिपः शीतकरश्च सौम्यः शूद्राधिनाथो रविजः परेषाम्

For ⟨grahas⟩ in their own ⟨sign⟩, in exaltation, in a friend's house, in ⟨such a⟩ navāṃśa, and for those aspected by benefics, one ⟨unit of⟩ strength is stated; ⟨so too⟩ for the Moon and Venus placed in female ⟨signs⟩, and likewise for the rest placed in male fields ⟨signs⟩.

काष्ठाबलं स्यासुचिनिर्मलाभ्यां सूर्यारयोर्याम्यदिशां तथैव । सूर्यात्मजस्यैव कलत्रगस्य शुक्रस्य चन्द्रस्य तथोत्तरस्याम्

kāṣṭhābalaṃ syāsucinirmalābhyāṃ sūryārayoryāmyadiśāṃ tathaiva | sūryātmajasyaiva kalatragasya śukrasya candrasya tathottarasyām

Directional strength (kāṣṭhā-bala) belongs to ⟨two grahas whose names this witness has lost⟩; likewise to the Sun and Mars in the southern quarter; to the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩ alone when he stands in the 7th house (kalatra); and to Venus and the Moon in the north.

चेष्टाबलं भास्कररात्रिपाभ्यां मृगादिगाभ्यां कुटिले परेषाम् । गर्वर्कशुक्रा दिवसे वरिष्ठाः सदा बुधोऽन्ये प्रभवन्ति रात्रौ

Motional strength (ceṣṭā-bala) ⟨belongs⟩ to the Sun and the lord of night ⟨the Moon⟩ when they stand in Capricorn and the signs that follow, and to the rest when crooked ⟨retrograde⟩. Jupiter, the Sun and Venus are strongest by day; Mercury always; the others prevail at night.

स्ववर्षमासोदयवासरेषु सौम्याः सितेऽन्ये च भवन्ति कृष्णे । सूर्यस्य शत्रू भृगुसूर्यपुत्रौ सौम्यः समोऽन्ये सुहृदः प्रदिष्टाः

svavarṣamāsodayavāsareṣu saumyāḥ site'nye ca bhavanti kṛṣṇe | sūryasya śatrū bhṛgusūryaputrau saumyaḥ samo'nye suhṛdaḥ pradiṣṭāḥ

In their own year, month, rising ⟨horā⟩ and weekday ⟨the grahas are strong⟩; the benefics in the bright ⟨fortnight⟩ and the others in the dark. Venus and the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩ are the Sun's enemies; Mercury is neutral; the rest are declared friends.

मित्रं दिनेशः शशलांछनस्य समाः सजीवार्किसितज्ञभौमाः । जीवार्कचन्द्राः सुहृदः कुजस्य ज्ञोऽरिः समौ भार्गवसूर्यपुत्रौ

mitraṃ dineśaḥ śaśalāṃchanasya samāḥ sajīvārkisitajñabhaumāḥ | jīvārkacandrāḥ suhṛdaḥ kujasya jño'riḥ samau bhārgavasūryaputrau

The lord of day ⟨the Sun⟩ is the friend of the hare-marked one ⟨the Moon⟩; neutral ⟨to him⟩ are Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mercury and Mars. Jupiter, the Sun and the Moon are the friends of Mars; Mercury is ⟨his⟩ enemy; Venus and the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩ are neutral.

शुक्रद्युनाथौ शशिजस्य मित्रे चन्द्रो रिपुर्जीवकुजार्किमध्याः । बृहस्पतेः शुक्रबुधौ पराख्यौ समोऽर्कजोऽन्ये सुहृदः प्रदिष्टाः

सौम्यार्कजौ भार्गवनन्दनस्य मित्रे समो देवगुरुः कुजश्च । अन्ये परे भास्करनन्दनस्य मित्रे सितज्ञौ रिपवस्तथान्ये

saumyārkajau bhārgavanandanasya mitre samo devaguruḥ kujaśca | anye pare bhāskaranandanasya mitre sitajñau ripavastathānye

Mercury and the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩ are the friends of Bhṛgu's delight ⟨Venus⟩; the preceptor of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ and Mars are neutral; the others are foes. Venus and Mercury are the friends of the Sun's delight ⟨Saturn⟩; and the rest are enemies.

गुरुः समो जन्मविधौ विचिन्त्यो दशायबन्धुव्ययवित्तशोकैः । मित्रं स्वमेषां प्रवदन्ति नित्यं मित्रं सुमित्रं सममेव मित्रं शत्रुः समः स्यात् क्रमशस्तु तज्ज्ञैः

guruḥ samo janmavidhau vicintyo daśāyabandhuvyayavittaśokaiḥ | mitraṃ svameṣāṃ pravadanti nityaṃ mitraṃ sumitraṃ samameva mitraṃ śatruḥ samaḥ syāt kramaśastu tajjñaiḥ

Jupiter is to be reckoned neutral in a nativity. ⟨Grahas standing⟩ in the 10th, the āya ⟨11th⟩, the bandhu ⟨4th⟩, the vyaya ⟨12th⟩, the vitta ⟨2nd⟩ and the śoka they always call a friend of one's own. A friend ⟨so becomes⟩ a good friend, a neutral becomes just a friend, an enemy becomes neutral — in that order, according to those who know it.

दशे तृतीये नवपंचमे च चतुर्थाछिद्रे मदने तथैव । पश्यन्ति पादान्तरपादवृद्धा फलानि यच्छन्ति शुभाशुभानि

daśe tṛtīye navapaṃcame ca caturthāchidre madane tathaiva | paśyanti pādāntarapādavṛddhā phalāni yacchanti śubhāśubhāni

⟨Grahas⟩ aspect the 10th and the 3rd, the 9th and the 5th, the 4th and the chidra ⟨8th⟩, and likewise the madana ⟨7th⟩, increasing from a quarter by a further quarter ⟨at each step⟩; ⟨and so⟩ they yield results auspicious and inauspicious.

पित्ताधिको रक्तनखः सुरूपः कन्याधिपस्ताभ्रनस्वः सुवक्त्रः । .......... वरो भास्करवीर्ययोगात् ता.......... प्रतापी परहा सदैव

pittādhiko raktanakhaḥ surūpaḥ kanyādhipastābhranasvaḥ suvaktraḥ | .......... varo bhāskaravīryayogāt tā.......... pratāpī parahā sadaiva

Abounding in bile, red-nailed, handsome, Kanyādhipa ⟨?⟩, of coppery ⟨…⟩, of fine face, ⟨…⟩ excellent — from conjunction with the strength of the Sun ⟨…⟩ he is majestic, and always a slayer of others.

बुद्धाधिकः शस्त्रपरः कृतज्ञः श्लेष्माधिको दीर्घतनुः प्रसन्नः । सुलोचनः सत्यरतः सुकान्तिश्चन्द्रस्य वीर्यान् मनुजः प्रदिष्टः

Abounding in intellect, given to weapons, grateful, abounding in phlegm ⟨kapha⟩, long-bodied, serene, fine-eyed, devoted to truth, of fine beauty — such a man is declared from the strength of the Moon.

पापः कृतघ्नः पुरुषः कुशीलो ह्रस्वः कुनेत्रः कुनखः प्रदिष्टः । कुप्यप्रियो दुर्विषहः प्रकामी भौमस्य वीर्येण भवेदसत्त्वः

pāpaḥ kṛtaghnaḥ puruṣaḥ kuśīlo hrasvaḥ kunetraḥ kunakhaḥ pradiṣṭaḥ | kupyapriyo durviṣahaḥ prakāmī bhaumasya vīryeṇa bhavedasattvaḥ

Wicked, ungrateful, a man of bad conduct, short, ill-eyed, ugly-nailed is he declared; fond of base metal, hard to endure, ruled by desire — by the strength of Mars he comes to be without sattva ⟨devoid of courage and substance⟩.

सुरूपदेहः सुभगः सुशीलः प्रियंवदः शास्त्रपरः कृतज्ञः । गौरः सुधामा पृथुगात्रयष्टिर्ज्ञवीर्यतः सम्प्रवदन्ति मर्त्यः

surūpadehaḥ subhagaḥ suśīlaḥ priyaṃvadaḥ śāstraparaḥ kṛtajñaḥ | gauraḥ sudhāmā pṛthugātrayaṣṭirjñavīryataḥ sampravadanti martyaḥ

Of handsome body, fortunate, of good conduct, sweet of speech, devoted to the śāstras, grateful, fair, of bright abode, with a broad and slender frame — such a mortal they declare from the strength of Mercury.

सुचारुगात्रः प्रणतः प्रतापी सुदीर्घगात्रः कफवान् सदैव । विद्याधिकः सत्यपरो मनस्वी सुरेज्यवीर्यात् सततं नयज्ञः

sucārugātraḥ praṇataḥ pratāpī sudīrghagātraḥ kaphavān sadaiva | vidyādhikaḥ satyaparo manasvī surejyavīryāt satataṃ nayajñaḥ

Of very lovely body, humble, majestic, of very long body, always phlegmatic, abounding in learning, devoted to truth, high-minded — from the strength of the one honoured by the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ he is ever a knower of polity.

धर्मी सुदीप्तिर्मनुजोऽतिदीर्घः कफात्मकः प्राप्तयशः सदैव । नीरोगदेहः प्रियसाहसश्च शुक्रस्य वीर्येण भवेत् सुदारः

dharmī sudīptirmanujo'tidīrghaḥ kaphātmakaḥ prāptayaśaḥ sadaiva | nīrogadehaḥ priyasāhasaśca śukrasya vīryeṇa bhavet sudāraḥ

Righteous, of fine lustre, a man exceedingly tall, phlegmatic in nature, always winning fame, of body free from disease, and fond of bold deeds — by the strength of Venus he comes to have a good wife.

.......... कृष्टदेहः प्रखलोऽतिह्रस्वो हिंस्रः सदा द्रोहपरः प्रजानाम् । विद्याविहीनः सततं कुचैलो वीर्याच्छनेः सम्प्रवदन्ति मर्त्यः

.......... kṛṣṭadehaḥ prakhalo'tihrasvo hiṃsraḥ sadā drohaparaḥ prajānām | vidyāvihīnaḥ satataṃ kucailo vīryācchaneḥ sampravadanti martyaḥ

⟨…⟩ of a drawn ⟨emaciated⟩ body, thoroughly wicked, exceedingly short of stature, violent, always bent on treachery towards ⟨his⟩ people, destitute of learning, forever in filthy clothes — such a mortal they declare ⟨to be born⟩ from the strength (vīrya) of Saturn (śani).

सत्वाधिकाः सूर्यशशाङ्कजीवा .......... मोऽधिकः सूर्यसुतः कुजश्च । रजोऽधिकौ भार्गवसोमपुत्रौ सर्वे मनुष्यप्रकृतिं नयन्ति

satvādhikāḥ sūryaśaśāṅkajīvā .......... mo'dhikaḥ sūryasutaḥ kujaśca | rajo'dhikau bhārgavasomaputrau sarve manuṣyaprakṛtiṃ nayanti

Preponderant in sattva are the Sun, the Moon (śaśāṅka) and Jupiter (jīva); ⟨tamas⟩-preponderant are Saturn (the Sun's son) and Mars (kuja); rajas-preponderant are Venus (bhārgava) and Mercury (the Moon's son). All ⟨of them together⟩ lead ⟨the native⟩ to the human nature (manuṣya-prakṛti).

आधानपृच्छोद्भवसाम्यमुक्तं फलं यतस्तस्य परीक्षणार्थम् । योगान् विचित्रान् प्रवदाम्यतोऽहं चिह्नैर्यथा जन्तुविनिश्चयः स्यात्

ādhānapṛcchodbhavasāmyamuktaṃ phalaṃ yatastasya parīkṣaṇārtham | yogān vicitrān pravadāmyato'haṃ cihnairyathā jantuviniścayaḥ syāt

Since the fruit arising from conception (ādhāna), from the query (praśna) and from birth has been declared to be one and the same, therefore, for the examination of that, I set forth the various yogas, so that by their signs the determination of the creature ⟨the embryo⟩ may be made.

लग्नं यदा पश्यति सूर्यसूनुर्नीचाश्रितः सौम्यदृशा विहीनम् । तदान्यजातः प्रवदन्ति मर्त्यं सूर्यस्य वीर्येण दिवा प्रसङ्गात्

lagnaṃ yadā paśyati sūryasūnurnīcāśritaḥ saumyadṛśā vihīnam | tadānyajātaḥ pravadanti martyaṃ sūryasya vīryeṇa divā prasaṅgāt

When the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩, resorting to debilitation, aspects the ascendant (lagna) that is devoid of benefic aspect, then they declare the man to be born of another; and by the strength of the Sun ⟨the union took place⟩ by day.

भौमो यदा वैश्यसमुद्भवेन सक्षीणचन्द्रो नृपसंभवेन । अस्तं गतो ज्ञो द्विजवर्णयोगात् सर्वैरथ म्लेच्छसमुद्भवेन

bhaumo yadā vaiśyasamudbhavena sakṣīṇacandro nṛpasaṃbhavena | astaṃ gato jño dvijavarṇayogāt sarvairatha mlecchasamudbhavena

When Mars ⟨is so placed, the child is⟩ from one sprung of the vaiśya ⟨class⟩; with the waning Moon, from one of royal ⟨kṣatriya⟩ birth; Mercury gone to setting ⟨combust⟩, from union with the twice-born (brāhmaṇa) varṇa; and by all ⟨of them together⟩, from one born a mleccha.

एषां मृतिर्दासजनादिनीचैर्द्वाभ्यां वधूभिर्विकृतिर्नरैश्च । चतुष्पदे मूर्तिषु .......... आप्ये क्षितौ प्रान्तरके नृसंज्ञे

eṣāṃ mṛtirdāsajanādinīcairdvābhyāṃ vadhūbhirvikṛtirnaraiśca | catuṣpade mūrtiṣu .......... āpye kṣitau prāntarake nṛsaṃjñe

Of these, death ⟨comes⟩ through servants and other low folk; from two ⟨of them⟩, perverse union with women and with men. In a quadruped ⟨sign⟩, in the mūrti ⟨the 1st house⟩ … ⟨here our source did not read the text⟩ … in a watery ⟨sign⟩, on the ground, in a waste tract, in a human-named ⟨biped⟩ sign.

कीटे विलोमं प्रवदन्ति भावं वाच्यं विलग्नाधिपतेः स्वभावात् । कलत्रतः सङ्गविधिः प्रदिष्टो विकारवैकृत्यसमो ग्रहाश्च

kīṭe vilomaṃ pravadanti bhāvaṃ vācyaṃ vilagnādhipateḥ svabhāvāt | kalatrataḥ saṅgavidhiḥ pradiṣṭo vikāravaikṛtyasamo grahāśca

In the insect ⟨sign⟩ they declare the manner to be reversed; and it is to be told from the nature of the lord of the ascendant. The mode of union is prescribed from the 7th house (kalatra), and the grahas ⟨shape it⟩ to match their own distortion and deformity.

यदा रविर्नेक्षति जन्मलग्नं तदान्धकारे सुरतप्रयोगः । तस्मिन्नुदक्स्थे स्वनवांशभागे दिवा प्रसङ्गः शनिना च रात्रौ

yadā ravirnekṣati janmalagnaṃ tadāndhakāre surataprayogaḥ | tasminnudaksthe svanavāṃśabhāge divā prasaṅgaḥ śaninā ca rātrau

When the Sun does not aspect the birth ascendant (janma-lagna), then the act of intercourse ⟨took place⟩ in darkness. When he stands to the north, in his own navāṃśa portion, the union ⟨was⟩ by day; and with Saturn, at night.

सर्वैरदृष्टे प्रवदेदरण्ये स्य मध्ये जललग्नसंस्थे । कलत्रगः शीतमयूखमाली यदा रविर्मूर्तिगतस्तदा स्यात्

sarvairadṛṣṭe pravadedaraṇye sya madhye jalalagnasaṃsthe | kalatragaḥ śītamayūkhamālī yadā ravirmūrtigatastadā syāt

When ⟨the ascendant⟩ is aspected by none, one should declare ⟨the union to have been⟩ in a forest; and ⟨in the midst of water⟩ when ⟨the graha⟩ stands in a watery ascendant. When the Moon, garlanded with cool rays, is in the 7th house (kalatra) and the Sun in the 1st (mūrti), then it comes to be ⟨so⟩.

सन्ध्या प्रयोगो व्ययगेऽथ भौमे ऊर्ध्वं प्रशस्तं रविनन्दनेन । सीत्कारमिश्रं सुरपूजितेन शश्वत् क्षतक्रान्तमुरुप्रचण्डम्

sandhyā prayogo vyayage'tha bhaume ūrdhvaṃ praśastaṃ ravinandanena | sītkāramiśraṃ surapūjitena śaśvat kṣatakrāntamurupracaṇḍam

With Mars in the 12th house (vyaya) the act falls at twilight; with the Sun's delight ⟨Saturn⟩ it is upright and commended; with the one worshipped by the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ it is mingled with cries of pleasure; ⟨and⟩ continually marked by wounding and exceedingly violent.

शुक्रेण लीनं शशिना विदग्धं स्यात् सोमजेनैव नितान्तदीर्घम् । आद्यस्य मासस्य भृगुर्विधाता तस्मिन् भवेच्छोणितशुक्रसङ्गः

śukreṇa līnaṃ śaśinā vidagdhaṃ syāt somajenaiva nitāntadīrgham | ādyasya māsasya bhṛgurvidhātā tasmin bhavecchoṇitaśukrasaṅgaḥ

With Venus ⟨the union is⟩ clinging; with the Moon, artful; with the Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩ alone, exceedingly prolonged. Venus (bhṛgu) is the ordainer of the first month; in it occurs the union of blood and semen.

तद्रूपचेष्टाबलहानिदीप्त्या गर्भस्य वाच्यं स्वफलं जनन्याः । द्वितीयमासाधिपतिः कुजश्च तस्मिन् घनं तस्य भवेत् समन्तात्

tadrūpaceṣṭābalahānidīptyā garbhasya vācyaṃ svaphalaṃ jananyāḥ | dvitīyamāsādhipatiḥ kujaśca tasmin ghanaṃ tasya bhavet samantāt

By its form, motion, strength, wasting and lustre the fruit belonging to the embryo and to the mother is to be told. And Mars is the lord of the second month; in it ⟨the embryo's⟩ solid mass forms on every side.

जीवस्तृतीयस्य करांघ्रिवक्त्रग्रीवादिकं तत्र भवेत् समग्रम् । सूर्यश्चतुर्थस्य पतिः प्रदिष्टः अस्थीनि तत्र प्रभवन्ति पुंसाम्

jīvastṛtīyasya karāṃghrivaktragrīvādikaṃ tatra bhavet samagram | sūryaścaturthasya patiḥ pradiṣṭaḥ asthīni tatra prabhavanti puṃsām

Jupiter ⟨is lord⟩ of the third; therein the hands, feet, face, neck and the rest come to be, complete. The Sun is declared lord of the fourth; therein the bones of men come forth.

मज्जा च मेदश्च सुमांसरक्तं व्यक्तिं समायाति विभागतश्च । तस्मिन् स सौरिः किल पंचमस्य तस्मिन् समन्तात् कृतिमाकृणोति

majjā ca medaśca sumāṃsaraktaṃ vyaktiṃ samāyāti vibhāgataśca | tasmin sa sauriḥ kila paṃcamasya tasmin samantāt kṛtimākṛṇoti

Marrow and fat, and good flesh and blood, come to manifestation therein, and severally. Saturn indeed is ⟨lord⟩ of the fifth; in it he brings about the shaping on every side.

प्राप्नोति पुष्टिं विविधां च गर्भव्यक्तिं समागच्छति कायजाताम् । षष्ठस्य चन्द्रो विभुतामुपैति रोमाणि तत्र प्रभवन्ति गात्रे

prāpnoti puṣṭiṃ vividhāṃ ca garbhavyaktiṃ samāgacchati kāyajātām | ṣaṣṭhasya candro vibhutāmupaiti romāṇi tatra prabhavanti gātre

⟨The embryo⟩ attains manifold nourishment and comes to the bodily manifestation born of the body. The Moon attains the lordship of the sixth; therein hairs come forth upon the limbs.

नखाश्च जिह्वा गुदरन्ध्रभावे गुप्तं स्वरं ब्रह्मभवे हि तत्र । .......... चन्द्रसूनुः किल सप्त ....... तस्मिन् स्मृतिः स्यात् सततं नराणाम्

nakhāśca jihvā gudarandhrabhāve guptaṃ svaraṃ brahmabhave hi tatra | .......... candrasūnuḥ kila sapta ....... tasmin smṛtiḥ syāt satataṃ narāṇām

Nails and the tongue ⟨arise⟩, and the state of the anal aperture; and there, in the brahma-condition, the hidden ⟨organ⟩ and the voice. … ⟨here our source did not read the text⟩ … the Moon's son ⟨Mercury⟩ indeed ⟨is lord of⟩ the seventh … ⟨a second passage the edition could not read⟩ … in it there is constant memory (smṛti) for men.

पंचेन्द्रियत्वं च विवेकिता च कोऽहं कुतोऽत्राश्रयमभ्युपेतः । लग्नाधिनाथस्त्वथवाष्टमस्य मासस्य तस्मिन् प्रचुरा बुभुक्षा

paṃcendriyatvaṃ ca vivekitā ca ko'haṃ kuto'trāśrayamabhyupetaḥ | lagnādhināthastvathavāṣṭamasya māsasya tasmin pracurā bubhukṣā

⟨There arise⟩ the state of having the five senses, and discernment, and ⟨the thought⟩ 'Who am I? Whence have I come into this shelter?' But the lord of the ascendant is lord of the eighth month; in it ⟨there is⟩ abundant hunger.

पक्षेन् मनुष्यस्य ततः सुतृप्तः भुंक्ते जनित्र्या रसभावसङ्गात् । नक्षत्रनाथो नवमस्य नाथस्तस्मिन् विरक्तिर्विविधा नराणाम्

pakṣen manuṣyasya tataḥ sutṛptaḥ bhuṃkte janitryā rasabhāvasaṅgāt | nakṣatranātho navamasya nāthastasmin viraktirvividhā narāṇām

Thereafter, well satisfied, ⟨the child⟩ of the man feeds through contact with the mother's nutrient essence (rasa). The lord of the nakṣatra is lord of the ninth; in it men have aversion of many kinds.

गर्भाश्रयः दुःखमनन्तमेक्तं कृतं स्मृतिः पूर्वशुभाशुभस्य । दिवाकरस्तन्मरतोऽधिनाथस्तस्मिन् प्रदिष्टः प्रसवो नराणाम्

garbhāśrayaḥ duḥkhamanantamektaṃ kṛtaṃ smṛtiḥ pūrvaśubhāśubhasya | divākarastanmarato'dhināthastasmin pradiṣṭaḥ prasavo narāṇām

The dwelling in the womb ⟨is⟩ endless pain, ⟨so⟩ declared, and ⟨there is⟩ the recollection of the good and the evil formerly done. The Sun is the over-lord of the ⟨tenth⟩ month; in it the birth of men is declared.

तस्मिन् यदि स्याद् व्ययगः शशाङ्कः स्यादष्टमो भूतनयः प्रसूतिः

tasmin yadi syād vyayagaḥ śaśāṅkaḥ syādaṣṭamo bhūtanayaḥ prasūtiḥ

If in it the Moon is in the 12th house (vyaya) and Mars, the son of the Earth, is the eighth ⟨i.e. stands in the 8th⟩, ⟨then⟩ delivery ⟨takes place⟩.

यो यस्य मासस्य भवेद्धि नाथः संभोगमेनं तु यदा प्रयाति । अर्वाग्विधत्ते स तदास्य जन्म वीर्येण हीनो यदि वात्मजेन

yo yasya māsasya bhaveddhi nāthaḥ saṃbhogamenaṃ tu yadā prayāti | arvāgvidhatte sa tadāsya janma vīryeṇa hīno yadi vātmajena

Whichever ⟨graha⟩ is lord of a given month — when he comes to this union, then he brings about the birth before ⟨its time⟩, if he is bereft of strength, or ⟨afflicted⟩ by his own son.

योगो यदाभानगतः सुतारिद्वितीयदुश्चिक्यगतैः समस्तैः । भवेत् प्रसूतिर्दशमे परेण तदा नराणां न च योषितानाम्

yogo yadābhānagataḥ sutāridvitīyaduścikyagataiḥ samastaiḥ | bhavet prasūtirdaśame pareṇa tadā narāṇāṃ na ca yoṣitānām

When the yoga is ⟨so⟩ formed, with all ⟨the grahas⟩ gone to the 5th (suta), the 6th (ari), the 2nd (dvitīya) and the 3rd (duścikya), then delivery takes place in the tenth ⟨month⟩ or after it — and that of males, not of females.

सूर्येण तासां प्रवदन्ति शोषं योगं नृणां वाध्यमनेकरूपम् । क्लीवोदये क्लीवयुते नवांशे क्लीवस्य जन्म प्रभवेन्नराणाम्

sūryeṇa tāsāṃ pravadanti śoṣaṃ yogaṃ nṛṇāṃ vādhyamanekarūpam | klīvodaye klīvayute navāṃśe klīvasya janma prabhavennarāṇām

With the Sun they declare the wasting away of those ⟨females⟩, and for men a yoga of affliction of many kinds. When a neuter ⟨sign⟩ rises and the navāṃśa is joined with a neuter ⟨graha⟩, the birth of a eunuch (klība) comes about among men.

एवं पुमांसः प्रभवन्ति नार्यः स्त्रीभावयोगाद्बहुधा विशेषः

evaṃ pumāṃsaḥ prabhavanti nāryaḥ strībhāvayogādbahudhā viśeṣaḥ

Thus males come to be, ⟨and⟩ females; from conjunction with the female ⟨signs and grahas⟩ the distinction is manifold.

नवांशनाथश्च यदा विलग्नं पश्येत् सुहृत्केन्द्रगतः सुदीप्तः । तदात्मवर्गेण करोति जन्म प्रधानभूतं मनसा नराणाम्

navāṃśanāthaśca yadā vilagnaṃ paśyet suhṛtkendragataḥ sudīptaḥ | tadātmavargeṇa karoti janma pradhānabhūtaṃ manasā narāṇām

And when the lord of the navāṃśa, brightly shining and posted in a kendra ⟨in the sign⟩ of a friend, aspects the ascendant, then by his own varga he makes a birth foremost in mind among men.

दुश्चिक्यजामित्रगताः प्रचण्डाः सौम्या यदा कोशत्रिकोणसंस्थाः । पुंजन्मदास्तत्र भवन्ति दृष्टाश्चन्द्रेण जीवेन शशाङ्कजेन

duścikyajāmitragatāḥ pracaṇḍāḥ saumyā yadā kośatrikoṇasaṃsthāḥ | puṃjanmadāstatra bhavanti dṛṣṭāścandreṇa jīvena śaśāṅkajena

When the fierce ⟨malefics⟩ occupy the 3rd (duścikya) and the 7th (jāmitra) houses, and the benefics stand in the 2nd (kośa, 'the treasury') and in a trikoṇa, then, aspected by the Moon, by Jupiter and by Mercury, they become givers of male birth.

मन्दारयोः सप्तमराशिसंस्थयोर्यदा निषेको मरणं तदा पितुः । रवेः शशाङ्कात् त्वथ तज्जनन्या एकान्तरोधः पुरुषस्य वाच्यः

mandārayoḥ saptamarāśisaṃsthayoryadā niṣeko maraṇaṃ tadā pituḥ | raveḥ śaśāṅkāt tvatha tajjananyā ekāntarodhaḥ puruṣasya vācyaḥ

When Saturn and Mars are both posted in the seventh sign at the impregnation (niṣeka), then ⟨follows⟩ the death of the father; from the Sun and from the Moon, that of his mother; and confinement in solitude is to be declared for the person.

यदा हिमांशुर्व्ययगो दिवाकरश्छिद्रं गतो भूतनयश्चतुर्थः । मृत्युस्तदा संभवते ह्युभाभ्यां शस्त्रेण सौरेण तु बन्धनेन

yadā himāṃśurvyayago divākaraśchidraṃ gato bhūtanayaścaturthaḥ | mṛtyustadā saṃbhavate hyubhābhyāṃ śastreṇa saureṇa tu bandhanena

When the Moon is in the 12th house (vyaya), the Sun has gone to the 8th (chidra), and Mars, the son of the Earth, is fourth, then death comes about for both ⟨parents⟩ — by a weapon; but with Saturn, through bondage.

मृत्युकरः शीतकरश्च रिष्फे .......... उस्वस्थितः सूर्यसुतः सभौमः । ज्ञ गर्भसंभूतिरिह प्रदिष्टा योगैः ससौम्यैः प्रवदन्ति कृच्छ्रात्

mṛtyukaraḥ śītakaraśca riṣphe .......... usvasthitaḥ sūryasutaḥ sabhaumaḥ | jña garbhasaṃbhūtiriha pradiṣṭā yogaiḥ sasaumyaiḥ pravadanti kṛcchrāt

The death-dealer and the cool-rayed ⟨Moon⟩ in the 12th (riṣpha) … ⟨here our source did not read the text⟩ … standing ⟨in his own sign⟩, the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩ together with Mars; ⟨and⟩ Mercury — the coming-to-be of the embryo is here declared; with yogas accompanied by benefics they declare ⟨that it comes⟩ with difficulty.

मूर्तिस्थितस्तीक्ष्णकरः कुजो वा सक्षीणमूर्तिविधुः रिष्फगो वा । वृथाफलः स्यात् सुरतोपचारो नीचाश्रितैस्त्र्यादिभिरेव पुंसाम्

mūrtisthitastīkṣṇakaraḥ kujo vā sakṣīṇamūrtividhuḥ riṣphago vā | vṛthāphalaḥ syāt suratopacāro nīcāśritaistryādibhireva puṃsām

The sharp-rayed ⟨Sun⟩ standing in the 1st house (mūrti), or Mars, or the waning Moon in the 1st or in the 12th (riṣpha) — ⟨then⟩ the act of intercourse is fruitless; ⟨so too⟩ when three or more ⟨grahas⟩ are in debilitation, for men.

क्लीवस्य लग्ने बुधसौरयुक्ते सुतस्थिते वा त्वथ रिष्फगे वा । क्लीवस्य जन्म प्रवदन्ति पुंसां शुभेक्षिते तत्र यथा स्वरूपम्

klīvasya lagne budhasaurayukte sutasthite vā tvatha riṣphage vā | klīvasya janma pravadanti puṃsāṃ śubhekṣite tatra yathā svarūpam

When the ascendant of a neuter ⟨sign⟩ is joined by Mercury together with Saturn, or when they stand in the 5th (suta) or in the 12th (riṣpha), they declare the birth of a eunuch (klība) among men; when it is aspected there by a benefic, ⟨the outcome follows⟩ according to that ⟨graha's⟩ own nature.

यदा कुजः सप्तमराशिमाश्रितः शनैश्चरो वा रविणा समाहितः । न मूर्तिगो देवगुरुः सितो वा तदा न गर्भं प्रवदन्ति योषिताम्

yadā kujaḥ saptamarāśimāśritaḥ śanaiścaro vā raviṇā samāhitaḥ | na mūrtigo devaguruḥ sito vā tadā na garbhaṃ pravadanti yoṣitām

When Mars, or Saturn, occupies the seventh sign and is joined with the Sun, and neither Jupiter, the guru of the gods, nor Venus is in the 1st house (mūrti), then they declare that women do not conceive.

नभस्तलस्थो यदि वासुरार्चितस्त्रिकोणगो देवगुरुः शशीतगुः । गर्भस्तदा संभवति प्रजा.......... नवांशको वा हिमरश्मिजस्य

nabhastalastho yadi vāsurārcitastrikoṇago devaguruḥ śaśītaguḥ | garbhastadā saṃbhavati prajā.......... navāṃśako vā himaraśmijasya

If the cool-rayed Moon stands on the floor of the sky ⟨the tenth⟩, or Venus whom the asuras honour, or Jupiter the preceptor of the gods occupies a trikoṇa, then the conception comes about ⟨as⟩ offspring …………⟨here our source did not read the text⟩………… or ⟨when it is⟩ the navāṃśa of Mercury, the son of the frost-rayed one.

तृतीयजामित्रगतौ सितार्कौ शनैश्चरो लाभगतो यदा स्यात् । पुमांस्तदा गर्भगतः प्रवाच्यो जीवोऽथवा स्वोच्चगतस्त्रिकोणे

tṛtīyajāmitragatau sitārkau śanaiścaro lābhagato yadā syāt | pumāṃstadā garbhagataḥ pravācyo jīvo'thavā svoccagatastrikoṇe

When Venus and the Sun have gone to the third and to the jāmitra ⟨the seventh⟩, and Saturn is in the lābha ⟨the eleventh⟩, then the one that has entered the womb is to be declared male — or ⟨so too⟩ when Jupiter has gone to his own exaltation in a trikoṇa.

पुंवर्गगे सूर्यसुते महीजे दिवाकरे लग्नमुपश्रिते वा । गर्भे पुमान् शीतकरेऽथवाम्बरे स्वतुङ्गगे शुक्रदृशा समन्विते

puṃvargage sūryasute mahīje divākare lagnamupaśrite vā | garbhe pumān śītakare'thavāmbare svatuṅgage śukradṛśā samanvite

When Saturn, the Sun's son, is in a male varga, ⟨and so⟩ Mars and the Sun, or when they have resorted to the lagna, ⟨the child⟩ in the womb is male; or ⟨so too⟩ when the cool-rayed Moon is in the sky ⟨the tenth⟩, in its own exaltation, endowed with the aspect of Venus.

कुम्भे विलग्ने मिथुनेऽथ कन्ये .......... के तत्सुतवर्गगे वा । .......... प्रवदन्ति गर्भं तदा नराणां च नवांशके वा

kumbhe vilagne mithune'tha kanye .......... ke tatsutavargage vā | .......... pravadanti garbhaṃ tadā narāṇāṃ ca navāṃśake vā

When Aquarius is the lagna, or Gemini, or Virgo, …………⟨lacuna; only a locative ending -ke survives at its close⟩………… or ⟨when a graha is⟩ placed in the varga of the fifth from it (tat-suta-varga), …………⟨lacuna, carrying what is declared⟩………… then they declare the fetus ⟨to be so⟩; and ⟨so too⟩ in a navāṃśa of the human ⟨signs⟩.

सौम्यान्विते तत्र यथा स्वरूपं नरं स्त्रियं वा तनयैर्विहीनम् । पापान्विते चार्धमुशन्ति नार्या अर्धं नरस्यैव भवेद्धि गर्भे

saumyānvite tatra yathā svarūpaṃ naraṃ striyaṃ vā tanayairvihīnam | pāpānvite cārdhamuśanti nāryā ardhaṃ narasyaiva bhaveddhi garbhe

When that ⟨place⟩ is joined by a benefic, ⟨the child is⟩ according to its own form a male or a female, ⟨but⟩ bereft of children; and when it is joined by a malefic, they hold that half of a woman and half indeed of a man would be in the womb.

स्त्रीलग्नगे रात्रिकरे च शुक्रे समस्थिते सूर्यसुते सजीवे । स्त्रीगर्भमुक्तं धरणीसुतेन स्ववर्गसंस्थे शशिना च दृष्टे

strīlagnage rātrikare ca śukre samasthite sūryasute sajīve | strīgarbhamuktaṃ dharaṇīsutena svavargasaṃsthe śaśinā ca dṛṣṭe

When the night-maker ⟨the Moon⟩ and Venus are in a female lagna, and Saturn, the Sun's son, together with Jupiter stands in an even ⟨sign⟩, a female conception is declared; ⟨so too⟩ when ⟨a graha⟩ set in its own varga is aspected by Mars, the son of the earth, and by the Moon.

हिमांशुः सुरपूजितोऽथवा शुक्रेण दृष्टः समराशिसंस्थितः । तदाबला गर्भंगता नृणां च शनैश्चरे वा रविभागमाश्रिते

himāṃśuḥ surapūjito'thavā śukreṇa dṛṣṭaḥ samarāśisaṃsthitaḥ | tadābalā garbhaṃgatā nṛṇāṃ ca śanaiścare vā ravibhāgamāśrite

Or ⟨when⟩ the frost-rayed Moon and Jupiter, honoured by the gods, aspected by Venus, stand in an even sign, then a female — abalā, 'the strengthless one' — has entered the womb among men; or ⟨so too⟩ when Saturn has resorted to the Sun's portion (bhāga).

द्विदेहलग्ने हिमरश्मियुक्ते स्वसंस्थे रविजे च लाभे । .......... उ........देल्लग्नगतं ........ .......... स्त्रिपत्वं प्रवदेदुभाभ्याम्

dvidehalagne himaraśmiyukte svasaṃsthe ravije ca lābhe | .......... u........dellagnagataṃ ........ .......... stripatvaṃ pravadedubhābhyām

When the lagna is a two-bodied ⟨dvideha⟩ sign joined by the Moon, and Saturn, born of the Sun, stands in his own ⟨sign⟩ in the lābha ⟨the eleventh⟩, …………⟨lacuna⟩………… u—⟨verb in -et, lacuna⟩— that which has gone to the lagna …………⟨lacuna⟩………… …………⟨lacuna⟩………… one should declare strīpa(ṃ)tva ⟨the state of being female and male⟩ from the two.

शनैश्चरे मूर्तिगते शशाङ्के षष्ठे बुधे सप्तमगे च शुक्रे । सूर्येऽष्टमे सौम्यविवर्जिते च त्रयः पुमांसः प्रवदन्ति गर्भे

śanaiścare mūrtigate śaśāṅke ṣaṣṭhe budhe saptamage ca śukre | sūrye'ṣṭame saumyavivarjite ca trayaḥ pumāṃsaḥ pravadanti garbhe

When Saturn has gone to the mūrti ⟨the first⟩, the Moon is in the sixth, Mercury and Venus in the seventh, and the Sun in the eighth devoid of benefics, they declare three males in the womb.

एवं कुजे सम्प्रवदन्ति नार्यो नपुंसकाख्यानि दिवाकरे च

evaṃ kuje sampravadanti nāryo napuṃsakākhyāni divākare ca

In the same way, when Mars ⟨is so placed⟩ they declare females; and when the Sun ⟨is⟩, ⟨offspring⟩ termed neuter (napuṃsaka).

.......... पश्यति देवमन्त्री नीतो अथवा रात्रीकरः प्रपूर्णः । स्वोच्चाश्रितः केन्द्रगतः स्ववर्गे सुशुद्धवीर्यस्य भवेत् प्रसूतिः

.......... paśyati devamantrī nīto athavā rātrīkaraḥ prapūrṇaḥ | svoccāśritaḥ kendragataḥ svavarge suśuddhavīryasya bhavet prasūtiḥ

⟨… the opening of the verse is lost …⟩ Jupiter, counsellor of the gods, aspects ⟨it⟩, ⟨being⟩ so placed, or else the night-maker ⟨the Moon⟩ at the full: resting in his own exaltation, gone to a kendra, in his own varga — the birth would be of one whose seed is wholly pure.

लग्नाश्रिते शीतकरे बुधे वा नीचाश्रिते वा गुरुणा तु दृष्टे । अन्येन जातं प्रवदन्ति मानवं ..........

lagnāśrite śītakare budhe vā nīcāśrite vā guruṇā tu dṛṣṭe | anyena jātaṃ pravadanti mānavaṃ ..........

The cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩, or Mercury, occupying the lagna, or resting in debilitation, but aspected by Jupiter — they declare the man born of another ⟨man⟩ ⟨… the close of the verse is lost …⟩.

शनैश्चरे लग्नगते च नीचगे पापांशके पापयुते च दृष्टे । पापस्य लग्ने गुरुणा विमुक्ते पापात् प्रसूतिं प्रवदन्ति चन्द्रे

śanaiścare lagnagate ca nīcage pāpāṃśake pāpayute ca dṛṣṭe | pāpasya lagne guruṇā vimukte pāpāt prasūtiṃ pravadanti candre

Saturn gone to the lagna and debilitated, in a malefic aṃśa, joined with a malefic and aspected ⟨by one⟩; the lagna being a malefic's and released from Jupiter — with the Moon ⟨likewise so placed⟩ they declare the birth to be from sin.

स्वमीनसंस्थे रविणा समन्विते लग्ने चरे सूर्यसुतेन वक्रे । व्ययस्थिते वा धनगे च चन्द्रे पितुः परोक्षस्य भवेत् प्रसूतिः

svamīnasaṃsthe raviṇā samanvite lagne care sūryasutena vakre | vyayasthite vā dhanage ca candre pituḥ parokṣasya bhavet prasūtiḥ

⟨The graha⟩ standing in his own Pisces and joined with the Sun, the lagna movable, Saturn retrograde; or the Moon placed in the 12th (vyaya) or gone to the 2nd (dhana) — the birth would be of one whose father is out of sight.

द्वारं वदेत् केन्द्रमुपगताश्च तत्र ग्रहाभावत एव लग्नात् । दीपोऽर्कतो लग्नवशेन वर्तिः स्नेहं शशाङ्कात् प्रवदेद्यथावत्

dvāraṃ vadet kendramupagatāśca tatra grahābhāvata eva lagnāt | dīpo'rkato lagnavaśena vartiḥ snehaṃ śaśāṅkāt pravadedyathāvat

One should declare the door from the kendra, and from the grahas that have gone there; or from the very absence ⟨of grahas⟩, reckoned from the lagna. The lamp ⟨is known⟩ from the Sun, the wick by force of the lagna, and the oil (sneha) from the Moon — let one declare it accordingly.

विलग्नभावोद्भवमूर्तिकाः स्युर्नानाद्वदेद्वर्णविशेषमेषाम् । शस्या त्रिभागाद्गृहमुच्चनीचात् तेषां वराङ्गानि तथा परेषाम्

vilagnabhāvodbhavamūrtikāḥ syurnānādvadedvarṇaviśeṣameṣām | śasyā tribhāgādgṛhamuccanīcāt teṣāṃ varāṅgāni tathā pareṣām

The figures arising from the bhāva of the lagna will be ⟨of such kinds⟩; one should declare their particular colours severally. What is commendable ⟨is known⟩ from the third-part (drekkāṇa), and the house from exaltation and debilitation; the chief limbs (varāṅga) of these, and likewise of the others.

यदा शनिः पंचमधर्मगोऽथवा भौमोऽथ बन्धुव्ययगः कथंचन । तदाङ्गभङ्गं प्रवदेत् समग्रं कृष्टं बलोनं प्रवदन्ति किंचित्

yadā śaniḥ paṃcamadharmago'thavā bhaumo'tha bandhuvyayagaḥ kathaṃcana | tadāṅgabhaṅgaṃ pravadet samagraṃ kṛṣṭaṃ balonaṃ pravadanti kiṃcit

When Saturn is in the 5th or in the 9th (dharma), or Mars, in any way at all, is in the 4th (bandhu) or the 12th (vyaya), then one should declare a complete breaking of the limb; ⟨but when the graha is⟩ drawn down and deficient in strength, they declare it only slight.

हिमांशुमाली स्वनवांशकास्थितः स्वोच्चेऽथ केन्द्रे सुरनाथपूजितः । तुल्यं तदा धातुविवृद्धगात्रं शुक्रेण बध्नाति समन्वितश्च

himāṃśumālī svanavāṃśakāsthitaḥ svocce'tha kendre suranāthapūjitaḥ | tulyaṃ tadā dhātuvivṛddhagātraṃ śukreṇa badhnāti samanvitaśca

The garlanded cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩, standing in his own navāṃśa, in his own exaltation or in a kendra, honoured by the lord of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ — then the body is even and grown full in its dhātus; and, joined with Venus, ⟨he⟩ binds ⟨it⟩.

भौमेऽष्टमे सूर्यसुते विलग्ने नभस्तलस्थे हिमरश्मिजे च । बने प्रसूतिं प्रवदन्ति योषितां सूर्येण मार्गे मनुजैर्विवर्जिते

bhaume'ṣṭame sūryasute vilagne nabhastalasthe himaraśmije ca | bane prasūtiṃ pravadanti yoṣitāṃ sūryeṇa mārge manujairvivarjite

Mars in the 8th, Saturn in the lagna, and Mercury, son of the cool-rayed one, standing in the mid-heaven ⟨the 10th⟩ — they declare the delivery of women to fall in the forest; with the Sun ⟨so placed⟩, on a road deserted by men.

शनैश्चरे मूर्तिगते हिमांशुजे व्ययस्थिते नीचगते प्रभाकरे । विलोमजन्म प्रवदन्ति भूमिजे सभार्गवे नालविवेष्टितस्य

śanaiścare mūrtigate himāṃśuje vyayasthite nīcagate prabhākare | vilomajanma pravadanti bhūmije sabhārgave nālaviveṣṭitasya

Saturn gone to the 1st (mūrti), Mercury placed in the 12th (vyaya), the Sun debilitated — they declare, when Mars is together with Venus, a birth against the grain (viloma), of a child wound about by the cord.

चन्द्रेऽम्बरस्थे शशिजे च कामे बृहस्पतौ मूर्तिगते स्तनान्तरे । गर्भस्य तल्लांछनमुक्तमाद्यैर्विपर्यये पृष्ठविभागतश्च

candre'mbarasthe śaśije ca kāme bṛhaspatau mūrtigate stanāntare | garbhasya tallāṃchanamuktamādyairviparyaye pṛṣṭhavibhāgataśca

The Moon in the sky ⟨the 10th⟩, Mercury in the 7th (kāma), Jupiter gone to the 1st (mūrti) — the child's mark is between the breasts: so it is stated by the ancients; in the reverse case, from the region of the back.

जीवे विलग्ने भृगुजे व्ययस्थे शशाङ्कजे लाभमुपाश्रिते च । बामाङ्गसंस्थस्तिलकः प्रवाच्यः षड्वर्गशुद्धौ त्वथ दक्षिणस्थः

jīve vilagne bhṛguje vyayasthe śaśāṅkaje lābhamupāśrite ca | bāmāṅgasaṃsthastilakaḥ pravācyaḥ ṣaḍvargaśuddhau tvatha dakṣiṇasthaḥ

Jupiter in the lagna, Venus placed in the 12th (vyaya), and Mercury occupying the 11th (lābha) — a mole (tilaka) set on the left side of the body is to be declared; but when the ṣaḍvarga is pure, then one on the right.

व्यये शशी लाभगतः खरांशुस्त्रिकोणगः सूर्यसुतः सपापः । हीनाङ्गतां तत्र वदन्ति भूमिजे गात्राधिकत्वं प्रवदन्ति भागतः

vyaye śaśī lābhagataḥ kharāṃśustrikoṇagaḥ sūryasutaḥ sapāpaḥ | hīnāṅgatāṃ tatra vadanti bhūmije gātrādhikatvaṃ pravadanti bhāgataḥ

The Moon in the 12th (vyaya), the harsh-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩ gone to the 11th (lābha), Saturn in a trikoṇa together with a malefic — there they declare deficiency of limb; with Mars, they declare excess of limb, according to the degree.

शनैश्चरे वीर्ययुते तु नै.......... सूर्येण ताम्रोद्भवमेव भूषणम् । चन्द्रेण माणिक्यभवं हिरण्यजं सौम्येन शुक्रेण च रीतिसम्भवम्

śanaiścare vīryayute tu nai.......... sūryeṇa tāmrodbhavameva bhūṣaṇam | candreṇa māṇikyabhavaṃ hiraṇyajaṃ saumyena śukreṇa ca rītisambhavam

Saturn endowed with strength ⟨… a passage the edition could not read …⟩; by the Sun, an ornament arising from copper (tāmra); by the Moon one made of ruby, by Mercury one of gold, and by Venus one produced of brass (rīti).

जीवेन नानाविधमिष्टकामदं भौमेन विन्द्याद्बहुवस्त्रसम्भवम्

jīvena nānāvidhamiṣṭakāmadaṃ bhaumena vindyādbahuvastrasambhavam

By Jupiter, ⟨an ornament⟩ of many kinds, granting what is desired; by Mars one should find the arising of abundant cloth.

गृहं शशाङ्केन सुदारसम्भवं मनोज्ञरूपं विविधान्वितं च । सुसूत्रमुक्तं मणिकुट्टिमान्वितं षड्वर्गशुद्धेन च तुङ्गगेन

gṛhaṃ śaśāṅkena sudārasambhavaṃ manojñarūpaṃ vividhānvitaṃ ca | susūtramuktaṃ maṇikuṭṭimānvitaṃ ṣaḍvargaśuddhena ca tuṅgagena

By the Moon the house is one where good wives are present, charming in form, and furnished with various ⟨appointments⟩; well laid out to the measuring-cord, fitted with a jewelled pavement — and this when he is pure in the ṣaḍvarga and gone to exaltation.

भौमेतु दग्धं स्वनवांशकस्थे परांशकस्थे शिथिलस्वभावम् । कुवस्तुयुक्तं बहुपापदृष्टे सौम्येक्षिते वा धनधान्ययुक्तम्

bhaumetu dagdhaṃ svanavāṃśakasthe parāṃśakasthe śithilasvabhāvam | kuvastuyuktaṃ bahupāpadṛṣṭe saumyekṣite vā dhanadhānyayuktam

But by Mars, ⟨the house is⟩ burnt when he stands in his own navāṃśa; when he stands in another's aṃśa, loose in its make; furnished with poor stuff when aspected by many malefics; or, aspected by a benefic, furnished with wealth and grain.

सूर्येण चित्रं बहुगैरिकाद्यैः प्रभासमेतं बहुभूमिकं च । एकत्र रम्यं त्वपरत्र शीर्णं पापेक्षिते वा तपनस्वभावम्

sūryeṇa citraṃ bahugairikādyaiḥ prabhāsametaṃ bahubhūmikaṃ ca | ekatra ramyaṃ tvaparatra śīrṇaṃ pāpekṣite vā tapanasvabhāvam

By the Sun, ⟨the house is⟩ painted with much red ochre and the like, possessed of lustre, and of many storeys; lovely in one part but decayed in another; or, when he is aspected by a malefic, of a scorching nature.

बुधेन रम्यं बहुवंशयुक्तं पटावृतं भूरिवनाढ्यमेव । शुचिप्रगल्भैः पुरुषैः समेतं विचित्ररूपं प्रभया समेतम्

budhena ramyaṃ bahuvaṃśayuktaṃ paṭāvṛtaṃ bhūrivanāḍhyameva | śucipragalbhaiḥ puruṣaiḥ sametaṃ vicitrarūpaṃ prabhayā sametam

By Mercury, ⟨the house is⟩ lovely, set about with much bamboo, covered over with cloth, and rich in abundant groves; attended by clean and bold men, of variegated form, and possessed of lustre.

जीवेन नानाविधरत्नयुक्तं सुभूरिशालं बहुमण्डलाढ्यम् । वितानचूलाध्वजसर्वदिक्षु प्रमण्डितं धातुरसैर्वशलैः

jīvena nānāvidharatnayuktaṃ subhūriśālaṃ bahumaṇḍalāḍhyam | vitānacūlādhvajasarvadikṣu pramaṇḍitaṃ dhāturasairvaśalaiḥ

By Jupiter, ⟨the house is⟩ set with jewels of many kinds, having very many halls, rich in many courts; adorned in every quarter with awnings, finials and banners, and with ⟨… ⟩ mineral pigments.

स्वभावरम्यं सुविदग्धलोकं मनोरमं स्फाटिककांचनाढ्यम् । तुङ्गं विशालं सुविभक्तमार्गं विचित्रकाष्ठप्रभवं नितान्तम्

svabhāvaramyaṃ suvidagdhalokaṃ manoramaṃ sphāṭikakāṃcanāḍhyam | tuṅgaṃ viśālaṃ suvibhaktamārgaṃ vicitrakāṣṭhaprabhavaṃ nitāntam

⟨A house⟩ delightful by its very nature, its people well accomplished, charming, rich in crystal and gold; lofty, spacious, its passages well laid out, and thoroughly built of variegated timber.

शीर्णं कुचेलैः मनुजैः समेतं रक्तान्वितं स्त्रीरहितं सदैव । भवेद्गृहं कण्टकसंघयुक्तं रौद्रं करालं विकृतप्रतापम्

śīrṇaṃ kucelaiḥ manujaiḥ sametaṃ raktānvitaṃ strīrahitaṃ sadaiva | bhavedgṛhaṃ kaṇṭakasaṃghayuktaṃ raudraṃ karālaṃ vikṛtapratāpam

Decayed, attended by men in foul rags, streaked with red, and always devoid of women; the house would be beset with a mass of thorns, terrible, gaping, of a distorted glare.

शनैश्चरे केन्द्रगते स्वनीचगे सुतस्थिते भूतनये सभास्करे । गृहं तृणैः सर्वत एव युक्तं जीर्णं नितान्तं तपनस्वभावम्

śanaiścare kendragate svanīcage sutasthite bhūtanaye sabhāskare | gṛhaṃ tṛṇaiḥ sarvata eva yuktaṃ jīrṇaṃ nitāntaṃ tapanasvabhāvam

Saturn gone to a kendra and in his own debilitation, and Mars, the son of the earth, placed in the 5th (suta) together with the Sun — the house is thatched with straw on every side, utterly decrepit, of a scorching nature.

शनैश्चरांशे हिमरश्मिपुत्रे यदा तनुस्थः स्वगृहे शशाङ्कः । तदा गृहं नूतनवीरुधावृतं क्वचित् सुकाष्ठैः परीतो विपश्चिताम्

śanaiścarāṃśe himaraśmiputre yadā tanusthaḥ svagṛhe śaśāṅkaḥ | tadā gṛhaṃ nūtanavīrudhāvṛtaṃ kvacit sukāṣṭhaiḥ parīto vipaścitām

Mercury, son of the cool-rayed one, in Saturn's aṃśa, and the Moon standing in the 1st (tanu) in his own house — then the house is covered with fresh creepers, here and there enclosed with good timber: ⟨the house⟩ of the learned.

जीवो यदा बन्धुगतः स्वभावगो नभस्तलस्थो भृगुनन्दनस्तदा । चन्द्रोऽस्तगो मूर्तिगतः शनैश्चरस्तदावृतं वस्त्रवरैः सुमन्दिरम्

jīvo yadā bandhugataḥ svabhāvago nabhastalastho bhṛgunandanastadā | candro'stago mūrtigataḥ śanaiścarastadāvṛtaṃ vastravaraiḥ sumandiram

When Jupiter is in the 4th (bandhu) in his own sign, Venus, the delight of Bhṛgu, in the mid-heaven ⟨the 10th⟩, the Moon in the setting place ⟨the 7th⟩ and Saturn in the 1st (mūrti) — then the fine mansion is draped about with excellent cloths.

शनैश्चरे मूर्तिगते कुजेऽथवा पापांशकस्थे बहुपापवीक्षिते । गृहाश्रयं जन्म वदेच्छुभांशके कुटारके छिद्रयुते विरूपके

śanaiścare mūrtigate kuje'thavā pāpāṃśakasthe bahupāpavīkṣite | gṛhāśrayaṃ janma vadecchubhāṃśake kuṭārake chidrayute virūpake

Saturn gone to the 1st (mūrti), or else Mars, standing in a malefic aṃśa and looked upon by many malefics — one should declare a birth with a house for its shelter; in a benefic aṃśa, ⟨a birth⟩ in a hovel, full of holes, misshapen.

आयुः परं मानववारणानां शतं सविंशं कुलसम्भवानाम् । द्वात्रिंशतिर्जात्यतुरङ्गमाणां खरोष्ट्रयोर्विंशतिवर्षसंख्या

āyuḥ paraṃ mānavavāraṇānāṃ śataṃ saviṃśaṃ kulasambhavānām | dvātriṃśatirjātyaturaṅgamāṇāṃ kharoṣṭrayorviṃśativarṣasaṃkhyā

The utmost lifespan of men and of elephants born of ⟨good⟩ stock is a hundred and twenty ⟨years⟩; thirty-two for thoroughbred horses; for the ass and the camel the count of years is twenty.

चतुर्विहीना च तथाविकानां कासारगोशूकरमर्कटाणाम् । चत्वारिविंशत् कथिता शुनां च तदर्धतो व्याघ्रहरिद्वृकाणाम्

caturvihīnā ca tathāvikānāṃ kāsāragośūkaramarkaṭāṇām | catvāriviṃśat kathitā śunāṃ ca tadardhato vyāghraharidvṛkāṇām

And four less ⟨than that — sixteen⟩, likewise, for sheep. Twenty-four is declared for the buffalo, the cow, the pig and the monkey, and for dogs; and half of that ⟨twelve⟩ for the tiger (vyāghra), the hari and the wolf (vṛka) ⟨hari is probably the lion⟩.

त्रिषष्टिसंज्ञः परभाजनानां द्विजिह्वगृध्रप्रभवः सहस्रम् । संवत्सराः षड्वटटिदृभानां यूकापतङ्गकृमिकीटकानां मासार्धजचैव पिपीलिकानाम्

triṣaṣṭisaṃjñaḥ parabhājanānāṃ dvijihvagṛdhraprabhavaḥ sahasram | saṃvatsarāḥ ṣaḍvaṭaṭidṛbhānāṃ yūkāpataṅgakṛmikīṭakānāṃ māsārdhajacaiva pipīlikānām

Sixty-three is the term named for the para-bhājana ⟨the reading is corrupt; the creature is not identifiable⟩; a thousand ⟨years⟩ is the span arising for the two-tongued one ⟨the serpent⟩ and the vulture. Six years for the vaṭaṭi-dṛbha ⟨corrupt: a bird-name⟩; and half a month for lice, moths, worms and grubs, and for ants.

वृक्षोद्भवो वर्षशतं प्रदिष्ट स्तेषां पलाशो द्विगुणेन वाच्यः । अश्वत्थन्यग्रोधशमीसमुत्थः शनि विवृद्धा द्विजवृक्षतश्च

vṛkṣodbhavo varṣaśataṃ pradiṣṭa steṣāṃ palāśo dviguṇena vācyaḥ | aśvatthanyagrodhaśamīsamutthaḥ śani vivṛddhā dvijavṛkṣataśca

That which is born as a tree is declared ⟨to live⟩ a hundred years; among them the palāśa is to be stated at double. That which springs from the aśvattha, the nyagrodha and the śamī, and from the twice-born's tree, ⟨grows⟩ slowly ⟨and long⟩ — ⟨the last quarter is corrupt and its sense cannot be fixed⟩.

केन्द्रेषु सौम्या यदि पापहीनाः सवेषु जातस्य मितिर्न वाच्या । .......... च्छाश्रिता वा मि ........पारसेज्ञा विमित्रिता वा मनुजस्य तज्ज्ञैः

kendreṣu saumyā yadi pāpahīnāḥ saveṣu jātasya mitirna vācyā | .......... cchāśritā vā mi ........pārasejñā vimitritā vā manujasya tajjñaiḥ

If benefics ⟨stand⟩ in the kendras, in all of them, free of malefics, the measure ⟨of the life⟩ of the native is not to be pronounced ⟨i.e. it is beyond reckoning⟩. ⟨…lacuna…⟩ resting upon … or … ⟨…lacuna…⟩ … or mixed … of the man, by those who know it.

सुहृद्गृहस्थैः सकलैस्तु तुङ्गमथ प्रयातैर्गृहमंशकं वा । आयुः परं सूत्रनरस्य वाच्यं सर्वैश्च वै वृद्धिगृहप्रयातैः

suhṛdgṛhasthaiḥ sakalaistu tuṅgamatha prayātairgṛhamaṃśakaṃ vā | āyuḥ paraṃ sūtranarasya vācyaṃ sarvaiśca vai vṛddhigṛhaprayātaiḥ

When all ⟨the grahas⟩ stand in the houses of friends, or have gone to exaltation, to their own house, or to their own aṃśa ⟨division⟩, the utmost lifespan is to be declared for the man; and so too when all have gone to the house of increase (vṛddhi).

अर्थसंस्था यदि पापखेटाः षष्ठाष्टमस्था यदि वा स्युरेव । षष्ठ्यांशको मृत्युरिह प्रदिष्टः सौम्यैर्विना प्रोद्गतवंशयोगे

arthasaṃsthā yadi pāpakheṭāḥ ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamasthā yadi vā syureva | ṣaṣṭhyāṃśako mṛtyuriha pradiṣṭaḥ saumyairvinā prodgatavaṃśayoge

If malefic grahas are placed in the 2nd house (artha), or if they be placed in the 6th and the 8th, death within a sixtieth part ⟨of the full span⟩ is here declared — without benefics, in the yoga of the risen vaṃśa ⟨the last quarter is corrupt⟩.

केन्द्रेषु पापा यदि सौम्यहीना न वीक्षते देवगुरुः सितो वा । मृत्युस्तदा शस्त्रकृतः प्रवाच्यो वर्षस्य मध्ये कृतसम्भवे वा

kendreṣu pāpā yadi saumyahīnā na vīkṣate devaguruḥ sito vā | mṛtyustadā śastrakṛtaḥ pravācyo varṣasya madhye kṛtasambhave vā

If malefics ⟨stand⟩ in the kendras, devoid of benefics, and the guru of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ or Venus does not aspect ⟨them⟩, then death wrought by a weapon is to be declared — within the year, or at the very ⟨moment of⟩ birth.

षष्ठाष्टमस्था यदि सौम्यखेटाः पापा धनद्वादशग यदा स्युः । तदा विनाशो मनुजस्य वाच्यो मासोद्भवेनैव चतुष्पटोन्यः

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamasthā yadi saumyakheṭāḥ pāpā dhanadvādaśaga yadā syuḥ | tadā vināśo manujasya vācyo māsodbhavenaiva catuṣpaṭonyaḥ

If benefic grahas stand in the 6th and the 8th, and malefics are in the 2nd (dhana) and the 12th, then the man's destruction is to be declared — by the arising of a ⟨single⟩ month itself; ⟨the remainder of the quarter, catuṣpaṭo 'nyaḥ, is corrupt⟩.

षष्ठेऽष्टमे वा यदि शीतरश्मिः पापेन दृष्टः सहितोऽथवा स्यात् । सद्यो विहन्यान् मनुजं न दृष्टो यदा सुरेज्येन शुभस्त्रीतेन

ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame vā yadi śītaraśmiḥ pāpena dṛṣṭaḥ sahito'thavā syāt | sadyo vihanyān manujaṃ na dṛṣṭo yadā surejyena śubhastrītena

If the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩ be in the 6th or the 8th, aspected by a malefic or conjoined ⟨with one⟩, it slays the man forthwith — when it is not aspected by the gods' priest ⟨Jupiter⟩ ⟨or⟩ by a benefic.

क्षीणः शशी मूर्तिगतः सपापो द्यूने च पापो न शुभस्तु केन्द्रे । मृत्युस्तदा वत्सरमध्यमः स्यात् नरस्य दृष्टो न यदा शुभेन

kṣīṇaḥ śaśī mūrtigataḥ sapāpo dyūne ca pāpo na śubhastu kendre | mṛtyustadā vatsaramadhyamaḥ syāt narasya dṛṣṭo na yadā śubhena

The waning Moon standing in the 1st house (mūrti, the body) together with a malefic, a malefic in the 7th (dyūna), and no benefic in a kendra — then the man's death falls within the year, when ⟨the Moon⟩ is not aspected by a benefic.

एतैर्विवाहांशगुणैर्विलग्ने ताड्यो ग्रहो नागनभः शशाङ्कः । राश्यादितो दस्त्रशशाङ्कभक्तः शेषाब्दपूर्व .......... आयुरुक्तः

etairvivāhāṃśaguṇairvilagne tāḍyo graho nāganabhaḥ śaśāṅkaḥ | rāśyādito dastraśaśāṅkabhaktaḥ śeṣābdapūrva .......... āyuruktaḥ

By these vivāhāṃśa multipliers, the graha in the lagna is to be multiplied by 108 ⟨nāga-nabhas-śaśāṅka: 8, 0, 1⟩; ⟨the amount⟩ reckoned from the beginning of the sign is divided by 12 ⟨dastra-śaśāṅka: 2, 1⟩; the remainder, in years first ⟨…lacuna…⟩ — thus the lifespan is stated.

द्रेष्काणवर्गोत्तमरन्ध्रभागस्वक्षेत्रगस्य द्विगुणः प्रदिष्टः । द्विघ्नः स्वतुङ्गे कुटिले च मार्गे द्वयोश्च लब्धौ त्रिगुणः प्र.......... इ........ः

dreṣkāṇavargottamarandhrabhāgasvakṣetragasya dviguṇaḥ pradiṣṭaḥ | dvighnaḥ svatuṅge kuṭile ca mārge dvayośca labdhau triguṇaḥ pra.......... i........ḥ

For ⟨a graha⟩ gone to its own drekkāṇa, to vargottama, to the randhra portion, or to its own sign, ⟨the result⟩ is declared doubled. It is twofold in its own exaltation and in crooked ⟨retrograde⟩ motion; and when both are obtained, threefold. ⟨…lacuna…⟩ ⟨…lacuna…⟩

अर्धं हरत्येव हि नीचसंस्थः अस्तं गतश्चार्कसुतो निहन्ति । शुक्रश्च आयुःकलुषोऽस्तगो वा सर्वे त्रिभागा रिपुगा भवन्ति

ardhaṃ haratyeva hi nīcasaṃsthaḥ astaṃ gataścārkasuto nihanti | śukraśca āyuḥkaluṣo'stago vā sarve tribhāgā ripugā bhavanti

One standing in debilitation takes away half indeed; and the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩, gone to setting ⟨combust⟩, destroys ⟨it⟩; and Venus too, when it fouls the lifespan, or is combust. All ⟨grahas⟩ gone to an enemy's ⟨sign⟩ become a third part.

अर्धादिषष्ठान्तमपक्रमेण त्वेकादशादेः प्रहरन्त्यनिष्टाः । सर्वे व्ययस्थाश्च शुभास्तदर्धं विलोमतो वीर्ययुतश्च सौम्यः

ardhādiṣaṣṭhāntamapakrameṇa tvekādaśādeḥ praharantyaniṣṭāḥ | sarve vyayasthāśca śubhāstadardhaṃ vilomato vīryayutaśca saumyaḥ

The unwelcome ones ⟨the malefics⟩ strike away, in descending order, from a half down to a sixth, beginning with the 11th ⟨house⟩. And all benefics standing in the 12th (vyaya) ⟨take⟩ half of that, in reverse order; and so does a benefic possessed of strength.

आयुर्दया येन पुरा हि दत्तं तत्संमिता तस्य दशा प्रदिष्टा । शन्तान्तरा सा च गुणैर्विचिन्त्या दोषैश्च तज्ज्ञैः फलनिर्णयार्थम्

āyurdayā yena purā hi dattaṃ tatsaṃmitā tasya daśā pradiṣṭā | śantāntarā sā ca guṇairvicintyā doṣaiśca tajjñaiḥ phalanirṇayārtham

The allotment of life (āyurdāya) that was formerly given by whichever ⟨graha⟩ — that graha's daśā is declared, measured to match it. And it, ⟨together with its sub-periods⟩, is to be pondered by those who know it, along with the merits and the faults, for the determining of the result.

नवांशमित्रस्वगृहोपगस्य स्वभावशुभा हि दशा ग्रहस्य । अतोऽन्यथा सौम्यफला प्रदिष्टा द्याभ्यं फलं .......... समं मुनीनाम्

navāṃśamitrasvagṛhopagasya svabhāvaśubhā hi daśā grahasya | ato'nyathā saumyaphalā pradiṣṭā dyābhyaṃ phalaṃ .......... samaṃ munīnām

The daśā of a graha placed in ⟨its own⟩ navāṃśa, in a friend's ⟨house⟩ or in its own house is by its very nature auspicious; otherwise than this, ⟨its daśā⟩ is declared to yield mild (saumya) fruit. ⟨…⟩ the fruit ……… uniform among the sages.

रवेर्दशायामतितीक्ष्णमोजः प्राप्नोति मानोपचयं महान्तम् । धनानि चामीकरताम्रशस्त्रं संजायते बन्धुसुखं शुभायाम्

raverdaśāyāmatitīkṣṇamojaḥ prāpnoti mānopacayaṃ mahāntam | dhanāni cāmīkaratāmraśastraṃ saṃjāyate bandhusukhaṃ śubhāyām

In the daśā of the Sun a man obtains exceedingly keen vigour and a great increase of honour; and in an auspicious ⟨daśā⟩ there arise riches — gold, copper and weapons — and the happiness of kinsmen.

भयावहस्तेयपरापवादान् क्लेशान् विचित्रान् कुलवैरमुग्रम् । पापात्मकायां गुदवक्त्ररोगमनेकशोकं मतिविभ्रमं च

bhayāvahasteyaparāpavādān kleśān vicitrān kulavairamugram | pāpātmakāyāṃ gudavaktrarogamanekaśokaṃ mativibhramaṃ ca

In a daśā of malefic nature: fear-bringing theft and the slander of others, afflictions of many kinds, fierce feud with one's own family, disease of the anus and of the mouth, manifold grief, and derangement of the mind.

नित्यं विभूषामणिमंचलाभं मिष्टान्नपानं प्रमदानुरागम् । चान्द्री दशा साधुफला नराणां नरेन्द्रपूजां तनुते सदैव

nityaṃ vibhūṣāmaṇimaṃcalābhaṃ miṣṭānnapānaṃ pramadānurāgam | cāndrī daśā sādhuphalā narāṇāṃ narendrapūjāṃ tanute sadaiva

The daśā of the Moon, when it bears good fruit, constantly yields men gain of ornaments, gems and couches, sweet food and drink, and the love of women; and it ever extends to them honour from the king.

प्रवासं स्वजनैर्विवादमिष्टैर्वियोगं सततं रुजं च । अनिष्टरूपां परपक्षवृद्धिं चान्द्री दशा रोगभयं करोति

pravāsaṃ svajanairvivādamiṣṭairviyogaṃ satataṃ rujaṃ ca | aniṣṭarūpāṃ parapakṣavṛddhiṃ cāndrī daśā rogabhayaṃ karoti

Sojourn abroad, quarrel with one's own people, separation from those dear, unceasing sickness, and an increase of the rival's party ⟨that is⟩ unwelcome in form — ⟨such⟩ a daśā of the Moon brings about fear of disease.

प्राप्नोति भौमस्य दशाविपाके धनानि चौर्याहवविक्रमेभ्यः । सौवर्णताम्रक्षितिपाग्नितः सदा शुभैः प्रयोगैर्विविधैरनिष्टैः

prāpnoti bhaumasya daśāvipāke dhanāni cauryāhavavikramebhyaḥ | sauvarṇatāmrakṣitipāgnitaḥ sadā śubhaiḥ prayogairvividhairaniṣṭaiḥ

In the ripening of the daśā of Mars one obtains wealth from theft, from battle and from valour; gold and copper from the king and from fire — always by undertakings ⟨reckoned⟩ auspicious ⟨yet⟩ of various unwelcome kinds.

तृष्णाज्वरासृग्विषपित्तमूर्छागात्राङ्गभङ्गान् विविधांश्च रोगान् । पापे तु भौमस्य दशाविपाके क्रोधक्रियोत्साहमधर्मबुद्धिम्

tṛṣṇājvarāsṛgviṣapittamūrchāgātrāṅgabhaṅgān vividhāṃśca rogān | pāpe tu bhaumasya daśāvipāke krodhakriyotsāhamadharmabuddhim

But in an evil ripening of the daśā of Mars: thirst, fever, disorders of blood, poison and bile, fainting, fracture of the limbs of the body, and diseases of many kinds; ⟨and⟩ eagerness for acts of anger, and a mind bent on unrighteousness.

बौधीं दशां प्राप्य गुणप्रशंसां प्राप्नोति शश्वत् प्रियतां नृलोके । सुवर्णमुक्तामणिरत्नलाभं शुभां विभूतिं च जनातिगां च

baudhīṃ daśāṃ prāpya guṇapraśaṃsāṃ prāpnoti śaśvat priyatāṃ nṛloke | suvarṇamuktāmaṇiratnalābhaṃ śubhāṃ vibhūtiṃ ca janātigāṃ ca

On reaching the daśā of Mercury a man obtains praise for his qualities and unceasing dearness in the world of men, gain of gold, pearls, gems and jewels, and an auspicious opulence surpassing ⟨other⟩ people.

भ्रमेण युक्तः कफपित्तभाजी विवर्णदेहः पुरुषः प्रसन्नः । बौधीं दशां प्राप्य विरूपचेष्टौ भवेन् मनुष्यः पतितानुरक्तः

bhrameṇa yuktaḥ kaphapittabhājī vivarṇadehaḥ puruṣaḥ prasannaḥ | baudhīṃ daśāṃ prāpya virūpaceṣṭau bhaven manuṣyaḥ patitānuraktaḥ

Afflicted with giddiness, subject to kapha and pitta, discoloured in body, ⟨yet⟩ cheerful — on reaching the daśā of Mercury a man becomes of misshapen conduct and attached to the fallen.

गुरोर्दशायां लभतेऽतिमानं गुणोदयं बुद्धवबोधमग्र्यम् । स्थितिप्रतापद्युतिकान्तिभोगान् .......... अत्म्यचेष्टाफलमुत्तमायाम्

gurordaśāyāṃ labhate'timānaṃ guṇodayaṃ buddhavabodhamagryam | sthitipratāpadyutikāntibhogān .......... atmyaceṣṭāphalamuttamāyām

In the daśā of Jupiter one gains exceeding honour, the rise of good qualities, foremost awakening of the intellect, standing, majesty, radiance, loveliness and enjoyments ……… ⟨and⟩ in an excellent ⟨daśā⟩, the fruit of one's own endeavour.

मूर्दार्थचिन्ता च विरूपकायां रोगश्च शश्वत् प्रियविप्रयोगः । गुरोर्दशायां मुखरोगपीडा संजायते स्त्रीनृपजं भयं च

mūrdārthacintā ca virūpakāyāṃ rogaśca śaśvat priyaviprayogaḥ | gurordaśāyāṃ mukharogapīḍā saṃjāyate strīnṛpajaṃ bhayaṃ ca

In an ill-formed ⟨daśā⟩ there is anxiety over the head and over wealth, and unceasing disease, and separation from the beloved; in ⟨such⟩ a daśā of Jupiter there arises affliction by disease of the mouth, and fear born of women and of the king.

भृगोर्दशायां लभते सुखानि स्त्रीपुत्रजातानि नृपोद्भवानि । इष्टान्नपानाम्बरगन्धमाल्यं शुभाश्रयायां परमां च तुष्टिम्

bhṛgordaśāyāṃ labhate sukhāni strīputrajātāni nṛpodbhavāni | iṣṭānnapānāmbaragandhamālyaṃ śubhāśrayāyāṃ paramāṃ ca tuṣṭim

In the daśā of Venus one obtains happinesses born of wife and sons and arising from the king, desired food, drink, garments, perfumes and garlands; and in one that rests on auspiciousness, the highest contentment.

असत्फलायां च भृगोर्दशायां नृपैर्विवादी कुलवृन्दमुख्यैः । विरुध्यतेऽधर्ममुपाश्रितैश्च सम्प्रीयते दुष्टनितम्बिनीभिः

asatphalāyāṃ ca bhṛgordaśāyāṃ nṛpairvivādī kulavṛndamukhyaiḥ | virudhyate'dharmamupāśritaiśca samprīyate duṣṭanitambinībhiḥ

And in a daśā of Venus bearing evil fruit ⟨a man⟩ quarrels with kings and with the chief men of the family circle; he falls out with those who have taken to unrighteousness; and he takes his pleasure with wicked women.

प्राप्नोति सौरस्य दशाप्रवेशे शुभे शुभं भूपतिभूमिसङ्गतः । कुधान्यजीर्णाम्बरगर्दभोष्ट्रैः संयुज्यतेऽर्थैर्महिषाटिभिश्च

prāpnoti saurasya daśāpraveśe śubhe śubhaṃ bhūpatibhūmisaṅgataḥ | kudhānyajīrṇāmbaragardabhoṣṭraiḥ saṃyujyate'rthairmahiṣāṭibhiśca

At the entry into the daśā of Saturn, when it is auspicious, one obtains good, coming into contact with the king and with land; and he is joined with poor grain, worn-out garments, asses and camels, with wealth, and with buffaloes and āṭi ⟨birds⟩.

सौरस्य पापे तु दशाविपाके कुटुम्बवैरं प्रियविप्रयोगः । संजायते गुह्यविकाररोगः कुमित्रसङ्गः पशुवित्तहानिः

saurasya pāpe tu daśāvipāke kuṭumbavairaṃ priyaviprayogaḥ | saṃjāyate guhyavikārarogaḥ kumitrasaṅgaḥ paśuvittahāniḥ

But in an evil ripening of Saturn's daśā there arise enmity within the household, separation from the beloved, disease that is a disorder of the private parts, the company of bad friends, and loss of cattle and wealth.

दशा विलग्नस्य चरस्य पूर्वे भागे तृतीये शुभदा नराणाम् । मध्या द्वितीये विफला तृतीये शस्ता समान्त्या द्विभवे विलोमः

daśā vilagnasya carasya pūrve bhāge tṛtīye śubhadā narāṇām | madhyā dvitīye viphalā tṛtīye śastā samāntyā dvibhave vilomaḥ

The daśā of a movable lagna gives men good in the first third-part, is middling in the second and fruitless in the third; ⟨in a fixed sign⟩ the last is commended, and in a dual sign the order is reversed.

वर्गाः सदैव क्रमशो विचिन्त्याः शुभातिशुभ्रा ग्रहसौम्ययुक्ता । मध्याफला मध्यफला खला च खलाखलान्यातिखला प्रदिष्टा

vargāḥ sadaiva kramaśo vicintyāḥ śubhātiśubhrā grahasaumyayuktā | madhyāphalā madhyaphalā khalā ca khalākhalānyātikhalā pradiṣṭā

The vargas are always to be considered in their order. ⟨A daśā⟩ joined with benefic grahas is auspicious and most brilliant; ⟨the rest are⟩ of middling fruit, of middling fruit, malefic, malefic-and-not-malefic, and ⟨one⟩ declared exceedingly malefic.

शुभा शुभं योगफलं विधत्ते हिरण्यमुक्ताफलरत्नलाभान् । आरोग्यमोजः स्वकुलस्य पूजां दशा विलग्नस्य नृणां प्रसूते

śubhā śubhaṃ yogaphalaṃ vidhatte hiraṇyamuktāphalaratnalābhān | ārogyamojaḥ svakulasya pūjāṃ daśā vilagnasya nṛṇāṃ prasūte

An auspicious ⟨daśā⟩ ordains an auspicious fruit of the yoga — gains of gold, pearls and gems; the daśā of the lagna brings forth for men health, vigour, and honour for their own family.

मध्या तु मध्यं फलमातनोति दशा विलग्नस्य शुभा नराणाम् । कष्टेन लाभं निधनेन मैत्रीं कुपण्यसेवाविकृतिप्रमादम्

madhyā tu madhyaṃ phalamātanoti daśā vilagnasya śubhā narāṇām | kaṣṭena lābhaṃ nidhanena maitrīṃ kupaṇyasevāvikṛtipramādam

But a middling daśā of the lagna, ⟨though⟩ auspicious, spreads out for men a middling fruit: gain won by hardship, friendship by ruin, service in mean trade, disfigurement and heedlessness.

पापा विलग्नस्य दशा प्रयाता भयं सुशोकं कलहं विवादम् । करोति नित्यं परदारसङ्गं विबुद्धिनाशं सततं प्रवासम्

pāpā vilagnasya daśā prayātā bhayaṃ suśokaṃ kalahaṃ vivādam | karoti nityaṃ paradārasaṅgaṃ vibuddhināśaṃ satataṃ pravāsam

A malefic daśā of the lagna, when it has come, produces fear, ⟨great⟩ grief, strife and dispute; it makes ⟨a man⟩ constantly consort with others' wives, brings ruin of the understanding, and perpetual sojourn abroad.

निशाकरादित्यविलग्नभानां तत्कालयोगादधिकं बलं यः । बिभर्ति तस्यादिदशा प्रयोज्या सर्वग्रहाणामुदयान्वितानाम्

niśākarādityavilagnabhānāṃ tatkālayogādadhikaṃ balaṃ yaḥ | bibharti tasyādidaśā prayojyā sarvagrahāṇāmudayānvitānām

Among the ⟨signs⟩ of the Moon, of the Sun and of the lagna, whichever bears the greater strength from the configuration of that moment — of that one the first daśā is to be employed, ⟨and thereafter those⟩ of all the grahas possessed of rising ⟨strength⟩.

ततस्त तत्रैव गतस्य चिन्त्या चतुर्थकामाम्बरगस्य पश्चात् । तेषां द्वितीये च ततस्तृतीये स्थाने स्थितस्य क्रमशो ग्रहस्य

tatasta tatraiva gatasya cintyā caturthakāmāmbaragasya paścāt | teṣāṃ dvitīye ca tatastṛtīye sthāne sthitasya kramaśo grahasya

Then that of the graha gone to that very ⟨place⟩ is to be considered; afterwards of one placed in the fourth, in kāma ⟨the 7th⟩ and in ambara ⟨the 10th⟩; and then, in order, of the graha standing in the second and next in the third place from these.

एकर्क्षगानां तु बलाधिकस्य देया दशा पूर्वतरं ततोऽन्या । दशार्धकालं लभतेऽर्कसंस्थस्तृतीयभागं च त्रिकोणगो यः

ekarkṣagānāṃ tu balādhikasya deyā daśā pūrvataraṃ tato'nyā | daśārdhakālaṃ labhate'rkasaṃsthastṛtīyabhāgaṃ ca trikoṇago yaḥ

But among ⟨grahas⟩ occupying one and the same ṛkṣa ⟨sign⟩, the daśā of the stronger is to be given earlier and the other's after it. A graha standing with the Sun obtains half the time of the daśā, and one in a trikoṇa a third part.

भागं चतुर्थं चतुरस्त्रसंस्थः सप्तांशकं सप्तमगो स वाच्यम् । सदा फलं वा सुररश्मियोज्यं मित्रोच्चनीचस्वगृहत्रिकोणजम्

bhāgaṃ caturthaṃ caturastrasaṃsthaḥ saptāṃśakaṃ saptamago sa vācyam | sadā phalaṃ vā suraraśmiyojyaṃ mitroccanīcasvagṛhatrikoṇajam

One placed in a square (caturastra) ⟨obtains⟩ a fourth part, one in the seventh a seventh part — so it is to be stated. Or else the fruit is always to be joined with the rays ⟨of the grahas⟩, ⟨as⟩ arising from a friend's ⟨sign⟩, from exaltation, from debilitation, from its own house, or from a trikoṇa.

फलानि शेषाणि दशाविपाके निजानि देयानि निजग्रहस्य । अन्तर्दशास्वेव विचिन्त्य जन्म तत्कालजातानि यथातथानि

phalāni śeṣāṇi daśāvipāke nijāni deyāni nijagrahasya | antardaśāsveva vicintya janma tatkālajātāni yathātathāni

The remaining fruits in the ripening of the daśā are to be assigned as the graha's own; and in the antardaśās likewise — having considered the birth ⟨chart⟩, ⟨assign⟩ the things produced at that time, just as they are.

षड्वर्गवीर्येक्षणलग्नभावजा दशादिपंचोत्तरवृद्धिसंयुताः । दशासु सर्वासु फलांशकाः स्मृताः शश्वद्ग्रहाणां क्रमशो निसर्गजाः

ṣaḍvargavīryekṣaṇalagnabhāvajā daśādipaṃcottaravṛddhisaṃyutāḥ | daśāsu sarvāsu phalāṃśakāḥ smṛtāḥ śaśvadgrahāṇāṃ kramaśo nisargajāḥ

The portions of fruit (phalāṃśaka), born of the ṣaḍvarga, of strength, of aspect, of the lagna and of the bhāva, are joined with an increase beginning at ten and rising by five; in all the daśās these are declared to belong perpetually to the grahas in order, arising from their own nature.

ग्रहस्य लिप्ताः स्वफलांशताडितास्तत्कालजातैः फलजैर्विभाजिताः । फलानि शेषाणि यथागतानि दशांशभेक्तृणि निजांशसंख्यया

grahasya liptāḥ svaphalāṃśatāḍitāstatkālajātaiḥ phalajairvibhājitāḥ | phalāni śeṣāṇi yathāgatāni daśāṃśabhektṛṇi nijāṃśasaṃkhyayā

The minutes (liptā) of the graha, multiplied by its own portion of fruit and divided by ⟨the quantities⟩ arisen at that time from the fruits — the remaining fruits, as they come out, divide the daśā-portions by the number of their own portions.

भानोर्मृगाद्यं शशिनो घटादिकं तुलादि भौमस्य गुरोरजादिकम् । बुधस्य युग्मादि हयादिकं भृगोः कर्कादि सौरेः प्रविचिन्तयेत् फलम्

bhānormṛgādyaṃ śaśino ghaṭādikaṃ tulādi bhaumasya gurorajādikam | budhasya yugmādi hayādikaṃ bhṛgoḥ karkādi saureḥ pravicintayet phalam

For the Sun ⟨reckon⟩ from Mṛga ⟨Makara⟩, for the Moon from Ghaṭa ⟨Kumbha⟩, for Mars from Tulā, for Jupiter from Aja ⟨Meṣa⟩, for Mercury from Yugma ⟨Mithuna⟩, for Venus from Haya ⟨Dhanus⟩, and for Saturn from Karka — thus should one reckon the fruit.

स्वतुङ्गहीनस्य कला ग्रहस्य विभाजिताः पुष्करसप्तपाणिभिः । विंशांशकाद्यं फलमाप्तमौच्छकं नखाधिकं त्याज्यमथो नखेभ्यः

svatuṅgahīnasya kalā grahasya vibhājitāḥ puṣkarasaptapāṇibhiḥ | viṃśāṃśakādyaṃ phalamāptamaucchakaṃ nakhādhikaṃ tyājyamatho nakhebhyaḥ

The minutes (kalā) of a graha ⟨after its longitude is⟩ diminished by its own exaltation ⟨point⟩ are divided by puṣkara-seven-hands; the quotient obtained, in twentieth parts, is the exaltation ⟨measure, aucchaka⟩; what exceeds the nails ⟨twenty⟩ is to be discarded, and then ⟨it is taken⟩ from the nails ⟨twenty⟩.

फलं फलांशाभिहतं नखोद्भृतं शेषं फलं विंशतिर्भागसंमितम् । ज्ञेयं ततो नीचफलं स्वसप्तमाद्राशेर्ग्रहाणां विधिनामुनैव

phalaṃ phalāṃśābhihataṃ nakhodbhṛtaṃ śeṣaṃ phalaṃ viṃśatirbhāgasaṃmitam | jñeyaṃ tato nīcaphalaṃ svasaptamādrāśergrahāṇāṃ vidhināmunaiva

The result (phala), multiplied by the degrees of the result and divided by the nails ⟨twenty⟩ — what remains is the result, twenty being its measure in degrees. Thereafter the debilitation-result of the grahas is to be known from the sign seventh from its own ⟨exaltation sign⟩, by this very same rule.

लग्ने तृतीयेऽष्टमके च लग्नजं फलं तथा विंशतिमेव भावजम् । स्थाने विचिन्त्यं कुटिलो .......... ण्येतानि सौम्यानि दशाफलं च

lagne tṛtīye'ṣṭamake ca lagnajaṃ phalaṃ tathā viṃśatimeva bhāvajam | sthāne vicintyaṃ kuṭilo .......... ṇyetāni saumyāni daśāphalaṃ ca

In the lagna, in the third and in the eighth ⟨is to be reckoned⟩ the result born of the lagna; and likewise twenty ⟨units is⟩ the result born of the bhāva. It is to be considered place by place. The crooked one .......... ⟨gap in our source⟩ ... these benefics, and the result of the daśā.

नीचेऽस्तगे चार्धफलं शुभग्रहे पूर्णत्वमिष्टैर्विपरीतमुच्छगैः । नीचास्तगे वक्रगते समं फलं तस्यैव तुङ्गे द्विगुणं प्रकीर्तितम्

nīce'stage cārdhaphalaṃ śubhagrahe pūrṇatvamiṣṭairviparītamucchagaiḥ | nīcāstage vakragate samaṃ phalaṃ tasyaiva tuṅge dviguṇaṃ prakīrtitam

When ⟨a graha is⟩ debilitated or combust, half the result; for a benefic graha, fullness with the favourable ⟨placements⟩; the contrary for those gone to exaltation. For one debilitated and combust that is yet retrograde, the result is equal ⟨to the full measure⟩; and for that same ⟨graha⟩ in exaltation it is declared double.

पापा दशा पापभवान्तरा वा पापाष्टवर्गे च यदा न शुभ्रा । .......... मृत्युर्दिवसे हि तस्य संजायते पापकृतस्य जन्तोः

pāpā daśā pāpabhavāntarā vā pāpāṣṭavarge ca yadā na śubhrā | .......... mṛtyurdivase hi tasya saṃjāyate pāpakṛtasya jantoḥ

When the daśā is a malefic's, or the antara arises from a malefic, and when in the malefic's aṣṭakavarga it is not bright ⟨not well supplied with points⟩ — .......... ⟨gap in our source⟩ — then indeed on that day death comes about for that creature who has done evil.

दशाप्रवेशेऽष्टमगे तु दृष्टे स्वेनारिणा शत्रुगृहस्थितेन । तदापमृत्युं कुरुते दशायां तस्यैव पापोद्भवपाकमध्ये

daśāpraveśe'ṣṭamage tu dṛṣṭe svenāriṇā śatrugṛhasthitena | tadāpamṛtyuṃ kurute daśāyāṃ tasyaiva pāpodbhavapākamadhye

At the entry into the daśā, when ⟨the lord⟩ is placed in the eighth and is aspected by its own enemy that is itself standing in an enemy's house, then it brings about an untimely death within that daśā — in the middle of that same ⟨graha's⟩ antara arising from a malefic.

त्रिंशांशके यस्य गृहस्य संस्थः स्थानेऽष्टमे पापफलः शुभो वा । तेनैव दृष्टः कुरुतेऽपमृत्युं .......... रेण तस्यैव यशोदिते वा

triṃśāṃśake yasya gṛhasya saṃsthaḥ sthāne'ṣṭame pāpaphalaḥ śubho vā | tenaiva dṛṣṭaḥ kurute'pamṛtyuṃ .......... reṇa tasyaiva yaśodite vā

⟨A graha⟩ that stands, in the triṃśāṃśa of whatever house, in the eighth place — whether it be one of malefic result or a benefic — being aspected by that very ⟨lord⟩, brings about an untimely death .......... ⟨gap in our source⟩ by ...ra, or ⟨in the period⟩ of that same one when its fame has risen.

पाकाधिपः सर्वविरुद्धवर्गे स्थितोऽपमृत्युं कुरुते नराणां क्रूरैर्विदृष्टो यदि वा न सौम्यैर्नीचाश्रितो वा खलु निर्जितश्च

pākādhipaḥ sarvaviruddhavarge sthito'pamṛtyuṃ kurute narāṇāṃ krūrairvidṛṣṭo yadi vā na saumyairnīcāśrito vā khalu nirjitaśca

The lord of the pāka ⟨the daśā lord⟩, standing in a wholly hostile varga, brings untimely death upon men — if it is aspected by malefics and not by benefics, or has taken to debilitation, or is indeed vanquished ⟨in planetary war⟩.

षष्ट्यब्दमध्ये तु यदायुः सप्त विभाजयेत्तेन परंपराणाम् । लब्धं च यच्छेदकसंश्रितं तन् छेदात् परं जन्मवदेव चिन्त्यम्

ṣaṣṭyabdamadhye tu yadāyuḥ sapta vibhājayettena paraṃparāṇām | labdhaṃ ca yacchedakasaṃśritaṃ tan chedāt paraṃ janmavadeva cintyam

But when the lifespan ⟨falls⟩ within sixty years, one should divide ⟨it⟩ into seven; by that ⟨are had the spans⟩ of the successive ⟨periods⟩. And the quotient obtained, which belongs to the chedaka ⟨the cutting graha⟩ — beyond the cut ⟨cheda⟩, it is to be reckoned exactly as at birth.

छेदोऽपमृत्युर्मरणं तृतीयं भवेन्नराणां नियतं सदैव । धर्मक्रियाभिर्हरतेऽपमृत्युं छेदं तु कृच्छ्रेण ग्रहप्रभावात्

chedo'pamṛtyurmaraṇaṃ tṛtīyaṃ bhavennarāṇāṃ niyataṃ sadaiva | dharmakriyābhirharate'pamṛtyuṃ chedaṃ tu kṛcchreṇa grahaprabhāvāt

Cutting-off (cheda), untimely death (apamṛtyu), and death as the third — for men these are always fixed. By acts of dharma one takes away untimely death; but the cutting-off ⟨is taken away⟩ only with great difficulty, because of the power of the grahas.

असाधनं स्थान मरणं नराणां सर्वैरुपायैरपि देवतानाम्

asādhanaṃ sthāna maraṇaṃ narāṇāṃ sarvairupāyairapi devatānām

Death — the fixed station of men — is not to be accomplished away by any means whatever, not even by those of the gods.

पाकाधिपः स्याद्यदि सौम्यवर्गे दशाप्रवेशे त्वथ तुङ्गगो वा । न छेदकः स्यान्न तथापमृत्युस्तस्यां दशायामिदमाह वेधाः

pākādhipaḥ syādyadi saumyavarge daśāpraveśe tvatha tuṅgago vā | na chedakaḥ syānna tathāpamṛtyustasyāṃ daśāyāmidamāha vedhāḥ

If the lord of the pāka is in a benefic's varga at the entry into the daśā, or else gone to exaltation, it will not be a chedaka ⟨a cutter⟩, nor will there be untimely death in that daśā — so has Vedhas ⟨Brahmā⟩ declared.

नीचप्रवृत्ता रविमण्डलस्था ग्रहेण भग्नाः खलवर्गयुक्ताः । सर्पाहता मन्त्रबलेन यद्वत् तद्वत् सवर्गाः शुभदा न खेटाः

nīcapravṛttā ravimaṇḍalasthā graheṇa bhagnāḥ khalavargayuktāḥ | sarpāhatā mantrabalena yadvat tadvat savargāḥ śubhadā na kheṭāḥ

⟨Grahas⟩ fallen into debilitation, standing within the Sun's orb, broken by ⟨another⟩ graha ⟨in planetary war⟩, joined to a malefic's varga — just as serpents struck down by the power of a mantra ⟨are robbed of their venom⟩, so too these planets, though in their own vargas, are not givers of what is auspicious.

एवंविधा घ्नन्ति शुभानि सर्वे फलानि पापानि च वर्धयन्ति । मिश्राश्च मिश्रं परिपाचयन्ति नीचास्तकेन्द्रे फलपादहानिः

evaṃvidhā ghnanti śubhāni sarve phalāni pāpāni ca vardhayanti | miśrāśca miśraṃ paripācayanti nīcāstakendre phalapādahāniḥ

⟨Grahas⟩ of such a kind, all of them, destroy the auspicious results and increase the malefic ones; and mixed ⟨grahas⟩ ripen a mixed ⟨result⟩. In debilitation, in combustion, ⟨and⟩ in a kendra there is a loss of a quarter of the result.

भानोर्दशायां यदि शीतरश्मेर्दशाविपाकं कुरुते तदा स्यात् । क्लेशेन वित्तं स्वधनेन मित्रं भोगांश्च नित्यं हि विडम्बनेन

bhānordaśāyāṃ yadi śītaraśmerdaśāvipākaṃ kurute tadā syāt | kleśena vittaṃ svadhanena mitraṃ bhogāṃśca nityaṃ hi viḍambanena

If in the daśā of the Sun the cold-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩ brings its own daśā to ripening, then it shall be thus: wealth ⟨got⟩ through affliction, a friend ⟨kept⟩ by one's own money, and enjoyments always attended by humiliation.

हृद्रोगमीर्ष्यं स्वजनापमानं भयं सुशोकं प्रियलोकनाशम् । भानोर्दशायां कुरुते प्रविष्टा दशा महीजस्य क्षतप्रकोपम्

hṛdrogamīrṣyaṃ svajanāpamānaṃ bhayaṃ suśokaṃ priyalokanāśam | bhānordaśāyāṃ kurute praviṣṭā daśā mahījasya kṣataprakopam

Heart disease, envy, dishonour from his own people, fear, deep grief, the destruction of those dear to him, and the aggravation of wounds — this the daśā of the earth-born one ⟨Mars⟩, having entered, works in the daśā of the Sun.

बौधी विधत्ते पतितस्य लाभं कुमित्रसङ्गं परिवारलाभम् । अपात्रदानं विषयातिवेगं भानोर्दशायां यदि सम्प्रविष्टा

baudhī vidhatte patitasya lābhaṃ kumitrasaṅgaṃ parivāralābham | apātradānaṃ viṣayātivegaṃ bhānordaśāyāṃ yadi sampraviṣṭā

Mercury's ⟨daśā⟩, if it has fully entered the daśā of the Sun, brings about gain from a fallen man, the company of bad friends, gain of retinue, gifts made to unworthy recipients, and an excessive rush after the objects of sense.

भानोर्दशायां सुरपूजितस्य दशा विधत्ते कुनृपेण सख्यम् । असद्जयं पापविधानलाभं दुष्टाबलासङ्गमसत्यमेव

bhānordaśāyāṃ surapūjitasya daśā vidhatte kunṛpeṇa sakhyam | asadjayaṃ pāpavidhānalābhaṃ duṣṭābalāsaṅgamasatyameva

In the daśā of the Sun, the daśā of the one honoured by the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ works friendship with a bad king, victory in an unworthy cause, gain got by sinful contrivance, union with wicked women, and untruth itself.

शौक्री खरांशोर्यदि सम्प्रवृत्ता दशा दशायां कुरुते कुपुत्रम् । कावत्तला .......... कुजनेन सख्य विदेशतः प्राप्तिमथो नराणाम्

śaukrī kharāṃśoryadi sampravṛttā daśā daśāyāṃ kurute kuputram | kāvattalā .......... kujanena sakhya videśataḥ prāptimatho narāṇām

If Venus's daśā has fully begun within the daśā of the harsh-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩, it produces in that daśā a bad son, ⟨…⟩, friendship with a base man, and for men acquisition from a foreign land.

दशाविपाके दिनपस्य सौरी दशा प्रविष्टाक्षिरुजं विधत्ते । वृचाटनं बन्धुजनेन वैरं क्षुच्छस्त्रभूपालकृतं भयं च

daśāvipāke dinapasya saurī daśā praviṣṭākṣirujaṃ vidhatte | vṛcāṭanaṃ bandhujanena vairaṃ kṣucchastrabhūpālakṛtaṃ bhayaṃ ca

In the ripening of the daśā of the day-lord ⟨the Sun⟩, Saturn's daśā, having entered, gives eye disease, ⟨aimless⟩ wandering, enmity with kinsfolk, and fear caused by hunger, by the weapon, and by kings.

लाग्नी दशा सौम्यविलग्नजाता भानोर्दशायां खरवेशराप्तिम् । अश्रीयमस्त्रप्रभवं च लाभं श्चामर्कटव्योमविचारिणीनाम्

lāgnī daśā saumyavilagnajātā bhānordaśāyāṃ kharaveśarāptim | aśrīyamastraprabhavaṃ ca lābhaṃ ścāmarkaṭavyomavicāriṇīnām

The daśā of the lagna, arisen from a benefic ascendant, in the daśā of the Sun ⟨gives⟩ the acquisition of donkeys and mules, ⟨ill fortune⟩ and gain arising from weapons, and ⟨the gain⟩ of yaks, monkeys and creatures that range the sky ⟨birds⟩.

पापोद्भवा पापमतिं विधत्ते द्विजामरद्वेषगुरुप्रकोपम् । अन्तर्दशा सा दिनपस्य नित्यं भयं दशायां नृपचौरजातम्

pāpodbhavā pāpamatiṃ vidhatte dvijāmaradveṣaguruprakopam | antardaśā sā dinapasya nityaṃ bhayaṃ daśāyāṃ nṛpacaurajātam

⟨The lagna-daśā⟩ arisen from a malefic works a sinful mind, hatred of brahmins and gods, and the wrath of the guru; that antardaśā, in the daśā of the day-lord ⟨the Sun⟩, ⟨gives⟩ constant fear born of kings and thieves.

तृष्णौषधीसेवनचौर्यलाभं सौख्यं तदोथ्यं विटकामिनीभिः । कुपुण्यां विविधैश्च दम्भै रविर्दशायां कुरुते हिमांशोः

tṛṣṇauṣadhīsevanacauryalābhaṃ saukhyaṃ tadothyaṃ viṭakāminībhiḥ | kupuṇyāṃ vividhaiśca dambhai ravirdaśāyāṃ kurute himāṃśoḥ

Craving, recourse to medicinal herbs, gain by theft, the pleasure that arises from that with rakes and wanton women, and spurious merit ⟨got⟩ by manifold deceits — the Sun works in the daśā of the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩.

कुभोजनाच्छादनपानलाभं कुस्त्रीप्रसङ्गं कुधनं विचित्रम् । दशा महीजस्य सुधाकरस्य प्राप्ता दशायां परमोच्छणं च

kubhojanācchādanapānalābhaṃ kustrīprasaṅgaṃ kudhanaṃ vicitram | daśā mahījasya sudhākarasya prāptā daśāyāṃ paramocchaṇaṃ ca

Gain of poor food, clothing and drink, involvement with base women, ill-gotten wealth of many kinds, and extreme ⟨wasting⟩ — Mars's daśā gives, having arrived in the daśā of the nectar-maker ⟨the Moon⟩.

.......... त्नार्थहस्त्यश्चसुवर्णला कुटुम्बवृद्धिं प्रियतां च लोके । बौधी दशा चन्द्रदशाप्रवेशे करोति मर्त्यं बहुवित्तलाभम्

.......... tnārthahastyaścasuvarṇalā kuṭumbavṛddhiṃ priyatāṃ ca loke | baudhī daśā candradaśāpraveśe karoti martyaṃ bahuvittalābham

⟨…⟩ the gain of ⟨je⟩wels, wealth, elephants, horses and gold, the increase of the household, and being held dear in the world — Mercury's daśā, on entering the Moon's daśā, makes a man gain much wealth.

नरेन्द्रपूजा द्विजदेवभक्तिर्यशः प्रशंसा स्थिरमित्रलाभम् । पुण्यानि शुभ्राणि जयं परेषां चान्द्र्यां यदा देवगुरोः प्रयाता

narendrapūjā dvijadevabhaktiryaśaḥ praśaṃsā sthiramitralābham | puṇyāni śubhrāṇi jayaṃ pareṣāṃ cāndryāṃ yadā devaguroḥ prayātā

Honour from the king, devotion to brahmins and gods, fame and praise, the gaining of steadfast friends, bright meritorious deeds, and victory over others — ⟨these come⟩ when the daśā of the preceptor of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ has gone into the Moon's ⟨daśā⟩.

लाभं पुरग्राममहाधनानां विहारविद्यागमवाजिनां च । शौक्री दशा चन्द्रदशां प्रयाता करोति तुष्टिं परमां सदैव

lābhaṃ puragrāmamahādhanānāṃ vihāravidyāgamavājināṃ ca | śaukrī daśā candradaśāṃ prayātā karoti tuṣṭiṃ paramāṃ sadaiva

Gain of cities, villages and great wealth, and of pleasure-grounds, the acquisition of learning, and horses — Venus's daśā, gone into the Moon's daśā, always brings about the highest contentment.

शौराबलीसाधितमुग्रलाभं पापानुरागं व्यसनेन सिद्धिम् । सौरेर्दशा चन्द्रदशां प्रयाता वेश्मानुरागं कुरुते प्रभूतिम्

śaurābalīsādhitamugralābhaṃ pāpānurāgaṃ vyasanena siddhim | saurerdaśā candradaśāṃ prayātā veśmānurāgaṃ kurute prabhūtim

⟨…⟩ harsh gain, a fondness for evil, success ⟨won⟩ through vice — Saturn's daśā, gone into the Moon's daśā, works attachment to the house and abundance.

सौम्योदयोत्था हि दशा हिमांशोर्यदा दशायां कुरुते प्रवेशम् । आर्थलाभं कृषिकर्मासिद्धिं नृणां विधत्ते विविधांश्च भोगान्

saumyodayotthā hi daśā himāṃśoryadā daśāyāṃ kurute praveśam | ārthalābhaṃ kṛṣikarmāsiddhiṃ nṛṇāṃ vidhatte vividhāṃśca bhogān

The daśā arisen from a benefic ascendant, when it makes its entry into the daśā of the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩, gives men gain of wealth, the accomplishment of the work of agriculture, and enjoyments of many kinds.

खलोदयोत्था हिमगोर्दशायां खरोष्ट्रधर्मप्रभवं च लाभम् । कुशास्त्रसेवां प्रणयेन वैरं स्ववान्धवैर्मित्रसुतैश्च नित्यम्

khalodayotthā himagordaśāyāṃ kharoṣṭradharmaprabhavaṃ ca lābham | kuśāstrasevāṃ praṇayena vairaṃ svavāndhavairmitrasutaiśca nityam

The ⟨daśā⟩ arisen from a malefic ascendant, having come into the daśā of the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩, ⟨gives⟩ gain arising from the calling of donkeys and camels, the service of base śāstras, and constant enmity — where there was affection — with his own kinsmen, friends and sons.

दशा खरांशोर्धरणीसुतस्य यदा दशायां कुरुते प्रवेशम् । तदा ज्वरश्लेष्मसुपित्तवातैः पीडां विधत्ते क्षतजैर्विकारैः

daśā kharāṃśordharaṇīsutasya yadā daśāyāṃ kurute praveśam | tadā jvaraśleṣmasupittavātaiḥ pīḍāṃ vidhatte kṣatajairvikāraiḥ

When the daśā of the harsh-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩ makes its entry into the daśā of the earth's son ⟨Mars⟩, then it inflicts affliction through fever, phlegm, excess bile and wind, and through disorders of the blood.

भौम्यां हिमांशोः सहसा प्रयाता दशा दशायां कुनयेन लाभम् । द्यूतानुरागं परदारसौख्यं प्रपोषणं देवगुरुद्विजानाम्

bhaumyāṃ himāṃśoḥ sahasā prayātā daśā daśāyāṃ kunayena lābham | dyūtānurāgaṃ paradārasaukhyaṃ prapoṣaṇaṃ devagurudvijānām

The Moon's daśā, suddenly gone into Mars's daśā, ⟨gives⟩ gain by crooked dealing, a passion for gambling, pleasure with other men's wives, and the maintenance of gods, gurus and brahmins.

बौधी दशा भौमदशां प्रयाता करोति सौख्यं वनदेशजातम् । आत्मप्रशंसाजनितं च तोषं नृणां महायासभवं च सौख्यम्

baudhī daśā bhaumadaśāṃ prayātā karoti saukhyaṃ vanadeśajātam | ātmapraśaṃsājanitaṃ ca toṣaṃ nṛṇāṃ mahāyāsabhavaṃ ca saukhyam

Mercury's daśā, gone into Mars's daśā, produces happiness born of forest country, contentment born of self-praise, and, for men, a happiness that comes of great toil.

भौम्यां यदा देवपुरोहितस्य दशा प्रयाता त्वरितं दशायाम् । करोति दैन्यप्रभवं च लाभं पराबलायाः स्वकलत्रहानिम्

bhaumyāṃ yadā devapurohitasya daśā prayātā tvaritaṃ daśāyām | karoti dainyaprabhavaṃ ca lābhaṃ parābalāyāḥ svakalatrahānim

When in Mars's ⟨daśā⟩ the daśā of the priest of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ has swiftly gone into that daśā, it works gain born of wretchedness, and — on account of another man's woman — the loss of his own wife.

विधत्तेऽन्त्यजनेन मैत्रीं क्वचिद्विषादं क्वचिदेव हर्षम् । परापराधोद्भवमाशकर्म नृणां विधत्तेऽल्पफलां च वृद्धिम्

vidhatte'ntyajanena maitrīṃ kvacidviṣādaṃ kvacideva harṣam | parāparādhodbhavamāśakarma nṛṇāṃ vidhatte'lpaphalāṃ ca vṛddhim

It works friendship with low-born men, sometimes dejection and sometimes indeed joy; ⟨and⟩ labour arising out of the offences of others; and it gives men an increase whose fruit is small.

गुरुप्रकोपं बहुगुह्यरोगं पामाविचर्थिप्रभवां हि पीडाम् । सौरी दशा वक्रदशाविपाके प्राप्ता सुवैरं निजबन्धुदारैः

guruprakopaṃ bahuguhyarogaṃ pāmāvicarthiprabhavāṃ hi pīḍām | saurī daśā vakradaśāvipāke prāptā suvairaṃ nijabandhudāraiḥ

The wrath of the guru, many diseases of the private parts, affliction arising from scabies and ⟨vicarcī⟩ eczema, and bitter enmity with his own kinsmen and womenfolk — Saturn's daśā, arrived at the ripening of the daśā of the crooked one ⟨Mars⟩, ⟨gives these⟩.

लाग्नी दशा भौमदशां प्रयाता वास्यानि धत्ते परदाररागम् । क्वचिद्भयं पार्थिवजं च लाभं क्वचित् क्वचिद्बन्धुजने प्रहर्षम्

lāgnī daśā bhaumadaśāṃ prayātā vāsyāni dhatte paradārarāgam | kvacidbhayaṃ pārthivajaṃ ca lābhaṃ kvacit kvacidbandhujane praharṣam

The daśā of the lagna, gone into Mars's daśā, bestows ⟨…⟩ and passion for other men's wives; sometimes fear arising from the king, sometimes gain, and sometimes great delight among kinsfolk.

खलोदयोत्था च दशा दशायां भौमस्य धत्ते स्वरुजाङ्गपीडाम् । मानापमानं निजलोकमध्ये मिथ्या प्रबुद्धिं स्वपरैः सदैव

khalodayotthā ca daśā daśāyāṃ bhaumasya dhatte svarujāṅgapīḍām | mānāpamānaṃ nijalokamadhye mithyā prabuddhiṃ svaparaiḥ sadaiva

And the daśā arisen from a malefic ascendant, in the daśā of Mars, gives pain in the limbs from his own disease, honour and dishonour among his own people, and always false conviction ⟨fostered⟩ by his own folk and by strangers alike.

रवेर्दशा सौम्यदशा प्रयाता करोति मानं खलजं सदैव । लाभं विकृत्या परदेशतोऽन्यन् मायापटुत्वं बहुकामसेवाम्

raverdaśā saumyadaśā prayātā karoti mānaṃ khalajaṃ sadaiva | lābhaṃ vikṛtyā paradeśato'nyan māyāpaṭutvaṃ bahukāmasevām

The Sun's daśā, gone into Mercury's daśā, always works honour ⟨that comes⟩ from base men, gain by fraud, and other ⟨gain⟩ from a foreign country, adroitness in deceit, and the pursuit of many lusts.

.......... दशा प्रयाता तदा विधत्ते नृपतेस्तु मानम् । आरोग्यतां साधुजनेन सख्यं .......... ओगान् विचित्रान् द्विजदेवसेवाम्

.......... daśā prayātā tadā vidhatte nṛpatestu mānam | ārogyatāṃ sādhujanena sakhyaṃ .......... ogān vicitrān dvijadevasevām

⟨…⟩ when the daśā has gone ⟨into it⟩, then it gives honour from the king, health, friendship with good men, ⟨…⟩ varied ⟨enj⟩oyments, and the service of brahmins and gods.

.......... चनानी क्लेशोदयः संशय एव पुंसाम् । यदा दशायां शशिजस्य याता दशा धरित्रीतनयस्य नित्यम्

.......... canānī kleśodayaḥ saṃśaya eva puṃsām | yadā daśāyāṃ śaśijasya yātā daśā dharitrītanayasya nityam

⟨…⟩ the rise of affliction, and doubt itself for men — when the daśā of the earth's son ⟨Mars⟩ has gone into the daśā of the moon-born one ⟨Mercury⟩, constantly.

विद्यागमं पार्थिवमानमोजो जयं विवेकं प्रियतां च लोके । यदा दशा देवपुरोहितस्य बौध्यां प्रयाता सततं विधत्ते

vidyāgamaṃ pārthivamānamojo jayaṃ vivekaṃ priyatāṃ ca loke | yadā daśā devapurohitasya baudhyāṃ prayātā satataṃ vidhatte

Acquisition of learning, honour from the king, vigour, victory, discernment, and being held dear in the world — these the daśā of the priest of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ constantly gives when it has gone into Mercury's ⟨daśā⟩.

मानं प्रशंसां नृपलोकसख्यं विद्यार्जनं धर्ममतिं सदैव । शौक्री दशा सौम्यदशां प्रपन्ना करोति मुक्तामणिवित्तलाभन्

mānaṃ praśaṃsāṃ nṛpalokasakhyaṃ vidyārjanaṃ dharmamatiṃ sadaiva | śaukrī daśā saumyadaśāṃ prapannā karoti muktāmaṇivittalābhan

Honour, praise, friendship with the king and with the people, the earning of learning, and a mind set on dharma always — Venus's daśā, having reached Mercury's daśā, brings gain of pearls, gems and wealth.

व्रणप्रकोपं कलहं कुबुद्धिं विदेशवासं मतिसंक्षयं च । सौरी दशा सौम्यदशाविपाके धत्ते नराणां बहुवित्तनाशम्

vraṇaprakopaṃ kalahaṃ kubuddhiṃ videśavāsaṃ matisaṃkṣayaṃ ca | saurī daśā saumyadaśāvipāke dhatte narāṇāṃ bahuvittanāśam

Aggravation of sores, quarrel, evil-mindedness, dwelling in a foreign land, and the wasting away of the intellect — Saturn's daśā, in the ripening of Mercury's daśā, gives men the loss of much wealth.

यशः प्रतापं परमं च सौख्यं चतुष्पदाच्छादनभूमिलाभम् । लाग्नी दशा सौम्यविलग्नजाता बौध्यां दशायां विविधं च भोगम्

Fame, majesty, and supreme comfort; the gain of quadrupeds, garments and land; and enjoyment of many kinds — ⟨these⟩ the lagna-daśā born of a benefic ascendant ⟨gives⟩ within the daśā of Mercury.

kuṭumbavairaṃ paśuvittanāśaṃ rogān vicitrān satataṃ ca yuddham | .......... dayotyā tu daśā daśāyāṃ lāgnī vidhatte śaśinandanasya

Enmity within the family, the destruction of cattle and wealth, diseases of many kinds, and unceasing strife — ⟨this⟩ the lagna-daśā, arisen from the rising of …, brings about in the daśā of Mercury, the son of the Moon.

देवद्विजोत्थं कुरुते सुलाभं प्रपोषणोत्थं विविधैः प्रपंचैः । दशा यदा देवपुरोहितस्य भानोर्दशायां कुरुते विपाकम्

devadvijotthaṃ kurute sulābhaṃ prapoṣaṇotthaṃ vividhaiḥ prapaṃcaiḥ | daśā yadā devapurohitasya bhānordaśāyāṃ kurute vipākam

It brings abundant gain from gods and the twice-born, and ⟨gain⟩ arising from the maintenance ⟨of dependants⟩ by manifold contrivances — so, when the daśā of Jupiter, the priest of the gods, ripens within the daśā of the Sun.

नानार्थलाभं पशुपुत्रवृद्धिं यशःप्रमोदं प्रभुतां सदैव । गुरोर्दशा रात्रिपतेर्दशायां सौख्यानि धत्ते विविधानि पुंसाम्

When the daśā of Saturn comes to its ripening within the daśā of Jupiter, the priest of the gods, then it brings about improper ⟨expenditure — supplied: our mūla's असद्वयं is no word, and असद्व्ययं is a conjecture no witness writes out; see doubts⟩, the imprisonment of kinsmen, and the drawing away of one's good qualities.

शौक्री दशा सौरदशाविपाके करोति पुंसां प्रभुतां कुवर्गे । नीचैर्विवादं बहुनीचलाभं धर्मस्य नाशं परधर्मवृद्धिम्

pāpodbhavāyāṃ ravijasya jātā .......... ṃ kurute suhānim | śirortipittajvaravedanāśca bahuprakārāḥ paramaṃ ca śokam

⟨The daśā⟩ of Saturn, arisen within ⟨the lagna-daśā⟩ born of a malefic, makes … and thorough loss; and the pains of headache, of bile and of fever, of many kinds, and the utmost grief.

लाग्नी दशा सूर्यदशाविपाके करोति सौम्यांनियमं कु.......... । असज्जनैः सङ्गमथाज्ञता च विद्वेषतां बन्धुजनेन नित्यम्

lāgnī daśā sūryadaśāvipāke karoti saumyāṃniyamaṃ ku.......... | asajjanaiḥ saṅgamathājñatā ca vidveṣatāṃ bandhujanena nityam

The daśā of the ascendant, benefic ⟨in kind⟩, in the ripening of the Sun's daśā, produces restraint …; association with bad men, and ignorance too, and constant hostility with kinsfolk.

चान्द्र्यां प्रयाता प्रकरोति सिद्धिं दशा विलग्नस्य तु सौम्यरूपा । मिष्टान्नपानानि पृथग्विधानि शत्रुक्षयं पार्थिवलोकपूजाम्

cāndryāṃ prayātā prakaroti siddhiṃ daśā vilagnasya tu saumyarūpā | miṣṭānnapānāni pṛthagvidhāni śatrukṣayaṃ pārthivalokapūjām

The daśā of the ascendant, benefic in form, having gone into the daśā of the Moon, brings about success, sweet foods and drinks of separate kinds, the destruction of enemies, and honour from the world of kings.

सौम्या दशा भूमिसुतस्य पाके यदा विलग्नस्य करोति पाकम् । तदातिरोगं रुधिरोद्भवं स्याद्विद्वेषता सर्वजनेन नित्यम्

saumyā daśā bhūmisutasya pāke yadā vilagnasya karoti pākam | tadātirogaṃ rudhirodbhavaṃ syādvidveṣatā sarvajanena nityam

When the benefic daśā of the ascendant makes its ripening in the ripening of Mars, the son of Earth, then there is grievous disease arising from the blood, and constant hostility with everyone.

प्रतापं प्रणयं च लोके विवेकविद्यागममर्थसिद्धिम् । लाग्नी दशा सौम्यदशाविपाके सौम्या विधत्ते गुरुकामसेवाम्

pratāpaṃ praṇayaṃ ca loke vivekavidyāgamamarthasiddhim | lāgnī daśā saumyadaśāvipāke saumyā vidhatte gurukāmasevām

Majesty and affection in the world, discernment, the coming of learning, the accomplishment of wealth — the benefic daśā of the ascendant, in the ripening of Mercury's daśā, confers ⟨these⟩, and attendance upon elders and upon desire.

मन्त्रौषधीछादनभोजनानि लाग्नी दशा जीवदशां प्रयाता । सुधनानि सौख्यं .......... सौख्यं नरेन्द्रेण विवेकतां च

mantrauṣadhīchādanabhojanāni lāgnī daśā jīvadaśāṃ prayātā | sudhanāni saukhyaṃ .......... saukhyaṃ narendreṇa vivekatāṃ ca

Mantras, healing herbs, clothing and food ⟨are what⟩ the daśā of the lagna gives when it has passed into the daśā of Jīva (Jupiter): good wealth, comfort … ⟨here our source's text breaks off⟩ … comfort through the king (narendra), and discernment.

भृगोर्दशायां प्रकरोति लाग्नी सौम्या दशा मानसुखं विधत्ते । प्रियातिथित्वं प्रचुरांश्च भोगान् विवेकतां साधुजनेन सख्यम्

bhṛgordaśāyāṃ prakaroti lāgnī saumyā daśā mānasukhaṃ vidhatte | priyātithitvaṃ pracurāṃśca bhogān vivekatāṃ sādhujanena sakhyam

In the daśā of Bhṛgu (Venus) the benefic daśā of the lagna acts, and bestows honour and comfort: fondness for guests, abundant enjoyments, discernment, and friendship with the good.

पापादशा लग्नसमुद्भवा च शनेर्दशायां कुरुते प्रमादम् । आलस्यमुद्वेगगुरुप्रकोपं विमाननां पार्थिवजं भयं च

pāpādaśā lagnasamudbhavā ca śanerdaśāyāṃ kurute pramādam | ālasyamudvegaguruprakopaṃ vimānanāṃ pārthivajaṃ bhayaṃ ca

And a malefic daśā arising from the lagna, in the daśā of Saturn, brings about heedlessness: sloth, agitation, the wrath of elders (guru), humiliation, and fear born of the king.

पापा दशा लग्नसमुद्भवा च रवेर्दशायां प्रकरोति हानिम् । सदा प्रवासं प्रचुरां च पीडाम्

pāpā daśā lagnasamudbhavā ca raverdaśāyāṃ prakaroti hānim | sadā pravāsaṃ pracurāṃ ca pīḍām

And a malefic daśā arising from the lagna, in the daśā of Ravi (the Sun), brings about loss — constant sojourn abroad and abundant affliction.

सुहृत्प्रकोपं कुरुते न सौख्यं । लाग्नी दशा चन्द्रदशां पापा विधत्ते खलुबन्धवं च

suhṛtprakopaṃ kurute na saukhyaṃ | lāgnī daśā candradaśāṃ pāpā vidhatte khalubandhavaṃ ca

⟨It⟩ brings about the anger of well-wishers, and no comfort. The malefic daśā of the lagna, ⟨having come into⟩ the daśā of the Moon, ordains besides kinsfolk who are wicked.

शिरोर्तिदाहज्वरमिष्टनाशं भयं प्रकोपं कलहं सदैव । लाग्नी दशा भौमदशाविपाके करोति नाशं निजबान्धवानाम्

śirortidāhajvaramiṣṭanāśaṃ bhayaṃ prakopaṃ kalahaṃ sadaiva | lāgnī daśā bhaumadaśāvipāke karoti nāśaṃ nijabāndhavānām

Headache, burning, fever, the loss of what is dear; fear, wrath, and quarrel without end — the lagna's daśā, in the ripening (vipāka) of the daśā of Bhauma (Mars), causes the destruction of one's own kinsmen.

सौम्यां दशायां कुरुते प्रवासं लाग्नी दशा पापरतिं कुपूजाम् । पापातिपापानि यथा विधत्ते गुरुद्विजप्रेषणजैर्विकारैः

saumyāṃ daśāyāṃ kurute pravāsaṃ lāgnī daśā pāparatiṃ kupūjām | pāpātipāpāni yathā vidhatte gurudvijapreṣaṇajairvikāraiḥ

In the daśā of Saumya (Mercury) the lagna's daśā causes residence abroad ⟨pravāsa⟩, and produces delight in evil and unworthy worship; thus it ordains sin upon sin, through the disorders born of setting elders (guru) and the twice-born to errands.

गुरोर्दशायामनुसम्प्रविष्टा दशा विलग्नस्य यदा च पापा । तदा धनैरात्मगृहोद्भवैश्च करोति भोगान् विविधान् मनुष्यः

gurordaśāyāmanusampraviṣṭā daśā vilagnasya yadā ca pāpā | tadā dhanairātmagṛhodbhavaiśca karoti bhogān vividhān manuṣyaḥ

And when the malefic daśā of the lagna has entered into the daśā of the Guru (Jupiter), then a man makes manifold enjoyments with wealth arisen from his own house.

दम्भेन धर्मं सभयेन चिन्त्यं नृणां विधत्ते कुधिया च चारम् । लाग्नी दशा शुक्रदशाविपाके पापा सुदैन्यं न कुटुम्बवृद्धिम्

dambhena dharmaṃ sabhayena cintyaṃ nṛṇāṃ vidhatte kudhiyā ca cāram | lāgnī daśā śukradaśāvipāke pāpā sudainyaṃ na kuṭumbavṛddhim

It ordains for men dharma ⟨performed⟩ in hypocrisy, thinking ⟨done⟩ in fear, and a going about guided by an evil mind. The malefic daśā of the lagna, in the ripening of the daśā of Śukra (Venus), ⟨gives⟩ deep wretchedness and no increase of the household.

क्लेशान् विचित्रान् सुतदारवैरं धनप्रणाशं प्रचुरां च वाणीम् । लाग्नी दशा मन्ददशाविपाके पापा विधत्ते विविधांश्च रोगान्

kleśān vicitrān sutadāravairaṃ dhanapraṇāśaṃ pracurāṃ ca vāṇīm | lāgnī daśā mandadaśāvipāke pāpā vidhatte vividhāṃśca rogān

Manifold torments, enmity with sons and wife, the destruction of wealth, and abundant talk — these the malefic daśā of the lagna ordains in the ripening of the daśā of Manda (Saturn), and various diseases as well.

केन्द्रेषु सूर्यः स्वगृहात् क्रमेण पुनस्तथायाष्टकराङ्कसंस्थितः । मन्दारयोश्चापि तथैव वाच्यः शुक्राद्रसास्तान्त्यगतश्च नित्यम्

kendreṣu sūryaḥ svagṛhāt krameṇa punastathāyāṣṭakarāṅkasaṃsthitaḥ | mandārayoścāpi tathaiva vācyaḥ śukrādrasāstāntyagataśca nityam

⟨The Sun's aṣṭakavarga.⟩ The Sun, ⟨reckoned⟩ from his own house, ⟨stands⟩ in order in the kendras ⟨the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th⟩, and again likewise stands in āya ⟨the 11th⟩, aṣṭa ⟨the 8th⟩, kara ⟨the 2nd⟩ and aṅka ⟨the 9th⟩. From Saturn (manda) and Mars (āra) too it is to be stated in exactly the same way. And from Venus he always goes to rasa ⟨the 6th⟩, asta ⟨the 7th⟩ and antya ⟨the 12th⟩.

जीवाद्रसैकादशपंचनन्दैर्विद्धिस्थितो रात्रिपतेः प्रदिष्टः । नभङ्कसूर्येषु शरे च सौम्यात् स्वलग्नतो वृद्धियुगव्ययेषु

jīvādrasaikādaśapaṃcanandairviddhisthito rātripateḥ pradiṣṭaḥ | nabhaṅkasūryeṣu śare ca saumyāt svalagnato vṛddhiyugavyayeṣu

From Jupiter (jīva) ⟨he is⟩ by rasa ⟨the 6th⟩, ekādaśa ⟨the 11th⟩, pañca ⟨the 5th⟩ and nanda ⟨the 9th⟩ — know him so placed; ⟨and so⟩ it is declared from the lord of the night ⟨the Moon⟩. From Mercury (saumya) in nabha ⟨the 10th⟩, aṅka ⟨the 9th⟩, sūrya ⟨the 12th⟩ and in śara ⟨the 5th⟩; and from one's own lagna in vṛddhi, yuga ⟨the 4th⟩ and vyaya ⟨the 12th⟩.

From the Sun ⟨the Moon⟩ stands in the kendras ⟨the angles⟩, in vahni ⟨the 3rd⟩, iṣu ⟨the 5th⟩, bhava ⟨the 11th⟩ and aṣṭa ⟨the 8th⟩; from Jupiter, vyaya ⟨the 12th⟩ ……… ⟨and⟩ aṣṭa ⟨the 8th⟩ and the four ⟨angles⟩; ……… by abdhi ⟨the 4th⟩, pañca ⟨the 5th⟩, aṅka ⟨the 9th⟩, daśa ⟨the 10th⟩, aga ⟨the 7th⟩ and rudra ⟨the 11th⟩; from Venus ⟨and⟩ from Mars, lābha ⟨the 11th⟩ and dhana ⟨the 2nd⟩ ………

.......... .......... .......... ष्टकेन्द्रैः स्यान्मन्दतो वह्निरसेषुसूर्यगः

.......... .......... .......... ṣṭakendraiḥ syānmandato vahniraseṣusūryagaḥ

……… ……… ……… by ⟨a⟩ṣṭa ⟨the 8th⟩ and the kendras ⟨the angles⟩; from Saturn (manda) he shall be one who goes to vahni ⟨the 3rd⟩, rasa ⟨the 6th⟩, iṣu ⟨the 5th⟩ and sūrya ⟨the 12th⟩.

गुरोर्दशैकादशाषडन्त्यमः रवेस्त्रिषष्ठायदशेषुसंस्थितः । लग्नात् प्रवृद्धा प्रथमे च शीतगोर्बुद्धा सितात् सूर्यरसाष्टलाभगः

From Jupiter (guru): daśa ⟨the 10th⟩, ekādaśa ⟨the 11th⟩, ṣaṭ ⟨the 6th⟩ and antya ⟨the 12th⟩; from the Sun (ravi) he stands in tri ⟨the 3rd⟩, ṣaṣṭha ⟨the 6th⟩, āya ⟨the 11th⟩, daśa ⟨the 10th⟩ and iṣu ⟨the 5th⟩. From the lagna ⟨they are⟩ increased, and in the first from the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩; ⟨from Mercury⟩ ⟨and⟩ from Venus (sita) he goes to sūrya ⟨the 12th⟩, rasa ⟨the 6th⟩, aṣṭa ⟨the 8th⟩ and lābha ⟨the 11th⟩.

चन्द्राद् द्विषष्ठायदशाष्टवेदगो लग्नात् स्वषष्ठार्थ शुभदः प्रकीर्ति आद्याब्धिलाभार्थगजाङ्कवह्निभिः शुक्राच्छनेश्चन्द्रयुगायवित्तैः

In randhra ⟨the 8th⟩ ⟨…text corrupt and untranslatable: kāsāsupa eva sārvakṣī…⟩; and from Jupiter, standing in candra ⟨the 1st⟩ and aṅga ⟨the 6th⟩, he gives auspicious results.

Saturn (the Sun's son) shall be joined with vahni ⟨the 3rd⟩, rasa ⟨the 6th⟩ and iṣu ⟨the 5th⟩, and — ⟨reckoned⟩ from the earth's son ⟨Mars⟩ — goes with sūrya ⟨the 12th⟩ and diś ⟨the 10th⟩.

In tri ⟨the 3rd⟩, ṣaṣṭha ⟨the 6th⟩ and lābha ⟨the 11th⟩ from the lord of the night ⟨the Moon⟩; from the lagna, with vṛddhi, indu ⟨the 1st⟩, daśa ⟨the 10th⟩ and abdhi ⟨the 4th⟩; from Jupiter (jīva) he stands in śara ⟨the 5th⟩, aṅga ⟨the 6th⟩, vyaya ⟨the 12th⟩ and lābha ⟨the 11th⟩; from Mercury he goes to vyaya ⟨the 12th⟩, aṅka ⟨the 9th⟩, aṅga ⟨the 6th⟩, diś ⟨the 10th⟩, aṅga ⟨the 6th⟩ and nāga ⟨the 8th⟩.

.......... vindūni rekhāśca vimiśrayitvā | saptāvaśeṣeṇa mito grahaśca svāṣṭāṃśasaṃjñaṃ phalamādadhāti

……… having mixed together the dots (bindu) and the lines (rekhā), the graha, reckoned by the remaining seven, yields the result called its own aṣṭāṃśa ⟨eightfold share⟩.

हन्यात् फले सोष्टकवर्गनाचजं फलं बलिष्ठो यदि तस्य पार्श्वगः । अतोऽन्यथा तस्य फलं निहन्यते तेनैव साम्ये फलयोर्निसर्गजम्

hanyāt phale soṣṭakavarganācajaṃ phalaṃ baliṣṭho yadi tasya pārśvagaḥ | ato'nyathā tasya phalaṃ nihanyate tenaiva sāmye phalayornisargajam

He would strike down, in the matter of the result, the result born of that aṣṭakavarga, if the one standing at its side is stronger; otherwise its result is struck down by that very one; and when the two results are equal, the one born of ⟨the graha's own⟩ nature ⟨prevails⟩.

रेखाश्रितस्तीक्ष्णकरः प्रगल्भं करोति मर्त्यं गजवाजियुक्तम् । मित्राङ्गसाधुं जनसम्प्रयुक्तं स्थानेऽद्यके रोगविवर्जितं च

rekhāśritastīkṣṇakaraḥ pragalbhaṃ karoti martyaṃ gajavājiyuktam | mitrāṅgasādhuṃ janasamprayuktaṃ sthāne'dyake rogavivarjitaṃ ca

The sharp-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩, resting on a line (rekhā) in the first place, makes the man bold, possessed of elephants and horses, sound in body and in friends, well connected with people, and free from disease.

द्वितीयसंस्थः प्रचुरप्रतापं प्रभूतवित्तिं जितशत्रुपक्षम् । विद्यानुरक्तं नृपतेरभीष्टं प्रशान्तचिन्तं कुरुते सदैव

dvitīyasaṃsthaḥ pracurapratāpaṃ prabhūtavittiṃ jitaśatrupakṣam | vidyānuraktaṃ nṛpaterabhīṣṭaṃ praśāntacintaṃ kurute sadaiva

Standing in the second he always makes ⟨the man⟩ of abundant majesty, of great wealth, one who has conquered the party of his enemies, devoted to learning, desired by the king, and of tranquil thought.

तृतीयगः सत्यपरं प्रशान्तं व्यपेतपापं सुजनैः सुपूज्यम् । हिरण्यपुजार्थविवे.......... नरं प्रसूते सततं सुशीलम्

tṛtīyagaḥ satyaparaṃ praśāntaṃ vyapetapāpaṃ sujanaiḥ supūjyam | hiraṇyapujārthavive.......... naraṃ prasūte satataṃ suśīlam

Going to the third he brings forth a man devoted to truth, tranquil, free from sin, well honoured by good people, ⟨rich in⟩ gold, worship and wealth ………, and of good character always.

चतुर्थगः सर्वजनस्य पूज्यं करोति मर्त्यं सुदृढं सुशीलम् । .......... पूज्यं सुभगं प्रशस्तं धर्मान्वितं दानपरं प्रसूते

caturthagaḥ sarvajanasya pūjyaṃ karoti martyaṃ sudṛḍhaṃ suśīlam | .......... pūjyaṃ subhagaṃ praśastaṃ dharmānvitaṃ dānaparaṃ prasūte

Going to the fourth he makes the man honoured by all people, very firm and of good character; ……… honoured, fortunate, praiseworthy, endowed with dharma and given to giving — such a one he brings forth.

करोति मर्त्यं खलु पंचमस्थो नरं रविर्गोमहिषोष्ट्रयुक्तम् । कुलप्रधानं नृपतेरभीष्टं सुसंयतं ब्रह्मणदेवभक्तम्

karoti martyaṃ khalu paṃcamastho naraṃ ravirgomahiṣoṣṭrayuktam | kulapradhānaṃ nṛpaterabhīṣṭaṃ susaṃyataṃ brahmaṇadevabhaktam

Standing in the fifth the Sun indeed makes the man possessed of cows, buffaloes and camels, foremost of his family, desired by the king, well restrained, and devoted to brāhmaṇas and the gods.

हतारिपक्षं प्रकरोति षष्ठे स्थितो विवस्वान् प्रथितं नृलोके । स्त्रीणामभीष्टं गुरुदेवभक्तं ..........

hatāripakṣaṃ prakaroti ṣaṣṭhe sthito vivasvān prathitaṃ nṛloke | strīṇāmabhīṣṭaṃ gurudevabhaktaṃ ..........

Standing in the sixth, Vivasvān ⟨the Sun⟩ makes ⟨the man⟩ one whose enemies' party is destroyed, renowned in the world of men, desired by women, devoted to his guru and to the gods, ………

स्त्रीलाभयुक्तं खलु सप्तमस्थो नरं विधत्ते खलु तीक्ष्णरश्मिः । उदारचिन्तं प्रभुतासमेतं विज्ञानशीलं समरप्रचण्डम्

strīlābhayuktaṃ khalu saptamastho naraṃ vidhatte khalu tīkṣṇaraśmiḥ | udāracintaṃ prabhutāsametaṃ vijñānaśīlaṃ samarapracaṇḍam

Standing in the seventh the sharp-rayed one indeed makes the man endowed with the gain of women, of noble thought, possessed of lordship, of a discerning nature, and terrible in battle.
