Jatakaparijata 3: atha tṛtīyacaturthabhāvaphalādhyāyaḥ

Here begins the effect of the third house: / Elder and younger siblings, their condition, valour, courage, / throat, voice, ears, fine ornaments, garments, / patience, heroism, strength, and eating roots and fruits—all these I shall declare in order from the third house.

Now, the consideration of brothers: / The houses of brothers are the third, ninth, eleventh, and seventh; / and in the planetary period of their respective lords, men acquire brothers.

Among the lord of the house of brothers, the sign containing it, and the planets situated in that house, / the planetary period of the one endowed with strength causes the increase of siblings.

If Mars is bereft of strength and situated in the house of brothers, [the native] is long-lived; / he whose significator is strong and situated in the ascendant is considered a lord.

The significator that is endowed with qualities and strong at the time of birth brings prosperity; / if reversed, it causes ruin; but the lord of the house is even more potent in bringing about results.

If the lord of siblings and Mars have gone to destruction, there is loss of siblings; / or if both are in malefic signs or conjoined with malefics, they cause the destruction of brothers after their birth.

If the two significators of siblings are in debilitation or set, or in debilitated navāṃśas, or conjoined with malefic enemies, / or placed in a cruel or the like sixth-division, they then cause the destruction of brothers after their birth.

When the house, the significator, / or the lord of that house is conjoined with an exceedingly cruel planet, the destruction of siblings takes place in childhood.

When the lord of wealth is placed in the eighth house, full of strength, and the significator of siblings is conjoined with a malefic / and united with the splendor of the mother's significator, they speak of siblings born of a stepmother.

If the house of brothers is conjoined with a benefic, the brothers are long-lived; if the house of siblings is occupied or aspected by a malefic, they are destroyed; / the Sun placed in the house of younger siblings and aspected by a malefic destroys the elder, Saturn destroys his younger, and Mars destroys all the younger brothers.

If a malefic planet is in a trine or a cardinal house from the third house, it destroys the younger sibling; / if a benefic occupies it, there is increase of siblings; if both benefic and malefic, they declare mixed results.

When the Moon is in an evil house conjoined with the lord of siblings, they declare that the native drinks the breast milk of another; / if the lords of the houses of mother and brother have gone to the fourth house, there is no increase of the house of brothers for men.

If [the lords of the ascendant and the third house] are conjoined with Mars, they become granters of siblings; if conjoined with other [planets], there may be no younger sibling. / Saturn in the third causes the death of younger siblings; Rahu will cause an increase of siblings.

If the lord of the third house is in an invisible sign, or with a malefic, or placed in the house of Virgo, / there will be no younger sibling after the born younger brother; and likewise if it is in a male division situated in the visible [half].

When the lord of the house of siblings is in a male sign, a younger brother is born to him; if it is in an even sign, conjoined with or aspected by Venus or the Moon, / situated in a benefic sign, aspected by or conjoined with a benefic planet, and posited in a cardinal house or a trine, the born younger sister is wealthy, happy, long-lived, and endowed with health.

When the lord of the house of siblings is in the ascendant, or the lord of the siblings is with the lord of the ascendant, / the mother's next pregnancy will be safe; and likewise when [it is] in the third sign with its lord.

Now, knowledge of the number of siblings: / The elder siblings born before him are equal in number to the lord planets situated in the houses from the eleventh up to the ascendant; / the knowers of this declare that the younger siblings will be equal in number to the lord planets gone to the houses from the ascendant, the third, and the second.

Whenever [planets] are aspected by or conjoined with the lord of the house of siblings and the significator, endowed with superior strength, the native certainly obtains the birth of younger siblings according to the number of planets conjoined therewith.

If four [planets] are in debilitation, combust, or in an enemy's sign, they destroy the born younger siblings; / those planets that are endowed with the desired strength make all younger siblings long-lived.

When, among the group of major planets including the lord of the sibling-house, two are strong, they grant the fruits of destruction and non-destruction in equal measure; if three planets are endowed with superior strength, / they destroy a few siblings; female planets in bad houses, if they grant an increase of a few younger siblings, the younger siblings will be of the number of navāṃśas of the lord of the younger siblings.

As many [planets] as possess strength when Mars is in the house of siblings, / excluding enemy and debilitated planets, so many siblings are traditionally taught.

The two granters of siblings, if placed in signs of female planets, [grant sisters]; if placed in signs of male planets, they grant brothers. / The lord of the siblings and Mars will grant happiness through sisters and brothers.

If the house of siblings from the ascendant is conjoined with a female planet or in a female horā, / the native attains the gain of a sister; after that, a brother; otherwise, the reverse.

The significator, the lord of siblings, [the planet] aspecting it, and [the planet] situated there— / these are makers of agreeable and disagreeable [results] during their own planetary periods and sub-periods.

The younger siblings correspond to the navāṃśas in the combined longitude of the four planets beginning with the significator; / navāṃśas of debilitation, enemy, and combustion are to be excluded, while navāṃśas of own exaltation are doubled.

One should predict the results regarding the brother's wife from the seventh sign from the third. / The lord of the ascendant, Mars, and the lord of the third house grant misfortune or auspiciousness to siblings.

Mutual, abundant affection among siblings occurs if the lord of siblings is united with the lord of the ascendant; / if both of them, strong, move in signs agreeable to each other, in the ascendant or in the sign of siblings, they say there is no division [of property].

Now, the affliction of siblings: / If the lord of the ascendant and the lord of siblings are devoid of strength, mutually inimical planets, and the two significators are in the third house, or if both are weak in bad houses, / during their period one should predict error and quarrel regarding siblings, their death, loss of their property, and all strife, affection, etc., caused by anger toward the planets posited therein.

When Venus in the third house is aspected by Jupiter, one is intent on protecting siblings; / when Mercury in the third is aspected by the Sun, he becomes a destroyer of friends.

During the sub-period or major period of the occupant of the sibling house, its lord, and its significator, / when conjoined with debilitation, enemy, or bad houses, they declare destruction of wealth and strength, defeat, and the destruction of siblings.

Subtracting the longitude of the lord of the sibling-house from the longitude of the ascendant lord: when Saturn transits the asterism [of that remainder], one should predict the death of his siblings. / Indeed, subtracting the lord of the tenth house from that longitude, when Mars, and likewise Saturn, [transit] that sign, or at the exact degree of the occupant of the fourth house—

When Jupiter enters the sign or decanate occupied by the four calculated points, they declare the death of siblings. / The period of the ruler of that asterism will be exceedingly wealth- and happiness-granting to the younger siblings.

Subtracting Rahu from the longitude of Mars: when Jupiter is in the trine of the remainder, there is death of the native's younger sibling. One should [similarly] subtract Mars from the longitude of Rahu: / when Jupiter is in the navāṃśa located in that sign, one should predict the destruction of his elder [sibling]. When Jupiter is in the sign of the calculated point of the lord of birth, conception, and the lord of action, a younger sibling is born.

Inquiry into prowess: When the lord of prowess is in its exaltation, or in the eighth house conjoined with a malefic, / in a moveable sign and situated in a moveable navāṃśa, he will be steadfast before battle.

When the significator is weak or conjoined with a cruel sixty-fourth division, / but connected by aspect or conjunction with a benefic, the lord of prowess makes one victorious.

When the lord of prowess is conjoined with the Sun, one is a hero; when conjoined with the Moon, he is born endowed with steadfastness and courage; / when conjoined with Mars, he is wicked, indolent, and wrathful; when conjoined with Mercury, he is endowed with pure, harmonious intelligence;

When conjoined with Jupiter, he will be delightful with steadfast qualities and skilled in the meaning of all sciences; / when conjoined with Venus, he is overcome with desire, and skilled in quarrelling due to anger arising from that;

When conjoined with the Sun's son [Saturn], he will be dull-witted; when conjoined with Rahu, he will be terrified; / when conjoined with Ketu, he is afflicted by external illness and cardiac dullness; and likewise when conjoined with Māndi.

When Jupiter is in the ascendant conjoined with the lord of prowess, they declare fear of quadrupeds; / if the ascendant is a watery sign, there is fear of cattle and the native meets with danger from water.

When [the lord of prowess] is conjoined with Mars, moving in its own sign in the ascendant, he attains strength, power, and musical joy. / Mars, the younger brother, and the lord of the sign of younger siblings—these three, when very strong, are heroes on the field of battle.

During the sub-period or major period of those three, there is happiness from the fruits of roots, etc., / ornaments for both ears, prosperity such as listening to excellent stories, and the gain of siblings, children, and so forth.

When the lord of siblings is associated with benefic divisions and endowed with strength, he becomes virtuous; / but when it is in a debilitated, combust, inimical, or malefic sign, and conjoined with a malefic planet, he is rash.

Now, inquiry into the throat: / When the lord of courage is conjoined with the lord of the sign occupied by Rahu, and Rahu is in the ascendant, / there is danger from serpents. When the lord of the sign of prowess is conjoined with Mercury, he will suffer from throat disease.

When a malefic is in the third, they declare throat disease here, especially if conjoined with Māndi and others. / If Saturn, conjoined with Mars and endowed with strength, is in the third sign, he suffers from itch disease.

The lord of prowess and Jupiter posited in the ascendant indicate fear of cattle, / or if they are conjoined with Rahu or with the lord of the sign occupied by Rahu.

The lord of prowess, if conjoined with Mercury, becomes a causer of throat disease. / When a malefic in the third house is in an enemy or debilitated sign, there is absence of siblings, or one consumes poison, etc.

When the third sign is conjoined with or aspected by Mercury or Jupiter and endowed with strength, / and Jupiter or Mercury is in a cardinal house from it, one possesses a very melodious voice in the throat.

Now, the consideration of ear ornaments: / When the third house is conjoined with a benefic and aspected by a benefic planet, / and its lord is conjoined with a benefic, one should predict ornaments for the ears.

If Venus is in the third house, [the ear ornament] is of pearl, while in the case of Jupiter they say it is an ornament of tulasī; / if the Sun is there, it is made of red and dark-blue gems; and if the Moon is strong, there are many ornaments.

If [the third house is occupied by] Mercury, one should declare a dark ornament; in a sign of Mars, an ornament of varied colors; / and when its lord is in its own division of exaltation, a splendid ornament.

Now, the consideration of clothing: / When [a planet] is in the tenth, or Jupiter is there, or the lord of the younger brother is in a benefic's sign aspected by it, one obtains divine, unprecedented garments; when a benefic is in the third, one obtains fine clothing; / when endowed with strength, the lords of Venus and of the place of the younger brother produce abundant clothing and ornaments, and when conjoined with or aspected by Jupiter and Mercury, they bestow the enjoyment of listening to discourses on sacred duty.

Now, the consideration of courage: / A person is endowed with courage when the lord of prowess is in the navāṃśa of a benefic planet, / aspected by a benefic, conjoined with a benefic, and endowed with a Vaiśeṣikāṃśa.

When the lord of courage is conjoined with or aspected by a node, or is situated in an evil house, one suffers loss of courage; / if it is in a cardinal house or a trine, conjoined with a benefic planet, or aspected by a benefic, one is full of courage.

Now, the consideration of strength: / When the lord of strength is conjoined with the son of the earth [Mars] or is situated in a malefic's sign, it causes the loss of strength; / when it is in a cardinal house or a trine together with Venus and endowed with strength, one has abundant strength and reveals virtues of enjoyment.

Now, the consideration of food: / Leaving aside Venus and the Moon, when a benefic is in the sign of the brother from the ascendant, / or situated in a benefic sign and division, the native obtains pleasant meals.

If the lord of strength is in a sign or ninth division of Jupiter, or is aspected by the teacher of the gods, / and Mars is strong in a cardinal house or a trine from it, the native will be fond of tubers, fruits, roots, and their juices.

Venus situated in the third or the sixth house brings sorrow, disease, and fear; / yet right there it becomes auspicious if it is in front of the Sun.

When the lord of food is conjoined with Jupiter and Venus, conjoined with or aspected by Mercury, / or aspected by a strong benefic, a person becomes a giver of food.

When Mercury has entered its exaltation, or when the lord of food is aspected by a benefic planet / or is in a Vaiśeṣikāṃśa, it becomes the giver of enjoyable meals.

Thus end the fruits of the third house. / Now, the fruit of the fourth house: / The wise declare learning, mother, happiness, / perfumes, cattle, kinsmen, mental qualities, / kings, conveyances, lands, and dwellings to arise from the fourth house.

Now, the consideration of learning: / When the sign of learning is conjoined with its own lord, or conjoined with or aspected by a benefic, and the son of the Moon [Mercury] is very strong, the native is clever in learning and humility; / but when its lord is in an evil house, conjoined with a malefic planet, aspected by a malefic, or situated in a malefic sign, a person is bereft of learning.

When the lord of the place of learning, Jupiter, and Mercury are situated in the sixth, third, twelfth, or eighth house, or are in debilitation or an enemy's sign, they produce the loss of learning, intellect, and discernment; / if they have gone to their exaltation or own signs, or are situated in trines or cardinal houses, one is skilled in glory, learning, humility, and the like, and dear to the king of kings.

Now, the consideration of the mother: / If Venus or the Moon is strong, aspected by a benefic, and endowed with an auspicious division, / and the house of the mother is strong in a cardinal house, they declare a long life for the mother.

When the lord of the mother's place is in the sixth or twelfth house, or devoid of strength, / and a malefic is in the ascendant aspected by a malefic, the wise one should declare the destruction of the mother.

When the waning Moon is in the eighth, sixth, or twelfth house conjoined with a malefic, / and a malefic is conjoined in the fourth house, there is destruction of the mother, without doubt.

When Saturn has gone to the place of the mother and is aspected by a malefic planet, / and the lord of the eighth is in an enemy's sign or debilitation, one should indicate the destruction of the mother.

When a malefic has gone to the third or fifth house, the lord of the fourth is in an enemy's sign or debilitation, / and the Moon is conjoined with a malefic, one should indicate illness for the mother.

The lord of the house of happiness, conjoined with the lord of the sixth and situated in the ninth house, makes the father here a debauchee; / if the lord of the mother, conjoined with the lord of fortune, is situated in the fourth house, it makes the father here a debauchee.

The lord of the sixth and the lord of the mother in the father's house bring about adultery for the father; / when the lords of the mother, father, enemy, and body are together in one house, the native is born of another.

If the Moon or the Sun is in a cardinal sign, aspected by a malefic, or with a malefic in the fifth, / or if a malefic is in the fourth house aspected by a malefic, the person born will have intercourse with his own mother.

When the Moon or Venus is in a cardinal house aspected by a malefic, or both are so, / and a cruel planet is in the fourth house, one has intercourse with his mother or enjoys the wife of his guru.

When the Moon is in the fourth house together with Mars and the lord of the sixth, the mother copulates with another man; / and the Sun with Rāhu produces adultery for the mother.

When the cool-rayed [Moon] is conjoined with Rāhu or Ketu, there is union with a low-born man; / when conjoined with Saturn, with a Śūdra; and by conjunction with Mercury, with a Vaiśya.

When conjoined with the Sun, [there is union] with a Kṣatriya; with Jupiter and Venus, union with a twice-born; / in the same way, the Moon conjoined with Mars or the lord of the sixth produces corresponding results.

The Moon situated in an inauspicious house together with the lord of the younger brother causes the drinking of another's breast milk for the native; / when the lords of the signs of mother and father are situated in evil houses and the lord of the ascendant is very strong, death comes to the parents.

When the lord of the father's action [tenth house] is in an evil house and the lord of the ascendant is endowed with strength, / it causes harm to the parents or deprives one of the parting of the hair.

If the lord of the mother's house and the lord of the ascendant are situated in a trine from it, / and its lord is in the ascendant, the mother dies along with the father.

If the lords of the mother, the ascendant, and the father are situated in cardinal houses or trines, / then during their planetary periods and sub-periods, they cause the mother to die following [the father].

If the Sun and Moon are in the houses of father and mother, they cause [the mother] to die following [the father], / or when aspected by or conjoined with their lords, and likewise those related to the Sun.

Those lordly planets which are associated with the house of the mother, its significator, / or are situated in or aspect that sign of the mother— / during the planetary period and sub-period of those planets causing affliction, the virtuous declare the death of the native's mother.

Subtracting the Moon from the true longitude of the Sun, when Jupiter and Saturn are in the remaining sign and division, or in a trine to it, death of the mother occurs for men; / subtracting Yamakaṇṭaka from the Moon, [and taking] the true longitude of the lord of the eighth, when Saturn is in that sign, and the Sun is in that division, the mother meets death.

Now, the consideration of happiness: / When Jupiter is in a Gopura or higher division, or even situated in the house of happiness, / and planets are in the houses of wealth, gain, and growth, one becomes happy.

When the house of happiness is aspected by Mercury, situated between benefics, / or in a sign and division of Jupiter, one is always devoted to meritorious deeds.

If [a planet] situated in the fourth house is in an auspicious sign, strong, and highly endowed with qualities related to the ascendant, / a person attains happiness through people of that class and the splendor of its bodily element.

If the lord of an inauspicious house from the ascendant is in the fourth, gone to debilitation or an enemy's sign, / and is an enemy of the lord of the ascendant, they declare the destruction of bodily happiness and the like through its affliction.

If the planets occupying, aspecting, or signifying the fourth house are endowed with strength, they are the causes of great happiness; / if in debilitation, an enemy's sign, or combustion, they bestow misfortune: happiness by a benefic, and unhappiness by other planets.

When the lord of the ninth house is in the fourth house with Venus and possesses superior strength, one will enjoy pleasures for a long time. / When conjoined with a benefic and situated in the eighth, sixth, or twelfth house, the native obtains happiness for only a brief period.

Now, the determination of the consideration of happiness and other matters: / Happiness should be considered from the fourth house and Jupiter; mother should be considered from the fourth house and the Moon; / perfumes should be considered from the fourth house and Venus; and garments, conveyances, and ornaments likewise.

Now, the consideration of perfumes: / When the lord of happiness is in an auspicious sign and is aspected by or conjoined with Venus, / and free from the aspect of inimical or debilitated planets, one attains the pleasure of perfumes, garlands, and the like.

Now, the consideration of garments: / When the Moon possesses strength, one obtains fine garments; when conjoined with Rāhu or Ketu, very worn-out garments; / when conjoined with Jupiter, silk garments; when conjoined with Venus, variegated with gems; and when conjoined with Saturn, black garments.

When the lord of the house of happiness is in the vargas of Venus and the Moon, and is conjoined with or aspected by Venus and the Moon, / and is free from the aspect of debilitated, inimical, or malefic planets, a person attains all forms of wealth, including cattle.

Now, the consideration of kinsmen: / When the lord of the house of kinsmen is a benefic and is aspected by benefic planets, / and the significator is full of strength, a man becomes revered by his kinsmen.

A benefactor to his kinsmen is born when its lord is in a cardinal house, a trine, or the eleventh house, / endowed with vaiśeṣikāṃśa, and devoid of the aspect or conjunction of malefics.

One will constantly hate his kinsmen when the fourth house is occupied by a malefic, / conjoined with a debilitated or combust planet, and devoid of the aspect or conjunction of benefics.

Now, the consideration of the heart: / When the fourth house contains a malefic and the lord of the eighth house is present with a malefic, one is deceitful; / when it is in its own, exaltation, or friendly sign and varga, and aspected by a benefic, one is free from deceit.

One has a pure heart and is peaceful when the navāṃśa of the heart is endowed with strength, / or is in a gopura or higher aṃśa, or endowed with a mṛdvaṃśa or the like.

Now, the consideration of conveyances: / When the lord of conveyances possesses strength, the sign of conveyances is strong, / and it is aspected by a benefic planet, one should predict the results of conveyances and the like.

When the lord of conveyances is in the fourth house conjoined with Mercury and aspected by a benefic, / in the sign or navāṃśa of a benefic planet, one should predict the results of conveyances and the like.

When the Moon is connected with the ascendant and conjoined with the lord of conveyances,

eminent sages declare that he will have horses as conveyances.

When the Moon is in the second or fourth house in an auspicious sign / and conjoined with a benefic planet, one acquires horses as conveyances.

When the lord of the fourth house is with the Moon in the ascendant and conjoined also with the lord of the ascendant, one gains horses. / If the lord of conveyances is conjoined with Venus or is in the ascendant, there will be palanquins carried by men.

Venus and the full Moon, when situated in a cardinal house or a trine and strong, bestow palanquins and ornaments; / the Moon in a sign of Jupiter, or aspected by or conjoined with Jupiter, bestows red garments and ornaments.

The native attains palanquins and horses when Venus, the Moon, and the lord of conveyances are conjoined with the lord of the ascendant; / when Jupiter, the lord of conveyances, the Moon, and Venus are together in a cardinal house or a trine, one acquires horses and conveyances.

When the lord of conveyances is conjoined with Jupiter, one acquires conveyances known as the fourfold army; / when the lord of conveyances is with a benefic in the tenth house, he is attended by flywhisks and umbrellas.

When the lord of happiness is in a cardinal house and the lord of that house is in the ascendant, they possess combinations for conveyances; / when the lord of the tenth house is in the eleventh and the lord of that house is in the tenth, they possess ornaments and conveyances.

Now, the consideration of sovereignty: / When the lord of conveyances is in the eleventh house, or Mars is in the fourth or eleventh house, / or in a sign of Mars, the attainment of sovereignty is beyond doubt.

The planet occupying the house of conveyances from the ascendant, its lord, and its aspecting planet—these three, when strong in their own, exaltation, or friendly signs, situated in cardinal houses, trines, or the eleventh house, / produce long life, beds, seats, garments, kinsmen, lands, fine mansions, affection of relatives, delightful conveyances, fame, and happiness.

Mercury situated in his sign of exaltation and posited in a cardinal house or a trine / brings about learning, prosperity through conveyances, and abundant wealth.

When the lord of happiness and the planet occupying its house are reckoned from the lord of the ascendant, and the lord of fortune and the planet in fortune—these four are in benefic vargas, exceedingly strong, connected with the ascendant, / and mutually occupying each other's houses or aspecting one another, the native has the lifespan of a king, is happy, / resplendent, possessed of fourfold conveyances, abundant fortune, and marked with royal insignia.

If three planets possess superior positional strength, conveyances adorned with various gems result; / when two planets endowed with strength are in the ascendant, one attains happiness during their periods.

If any one of the aforementioned three places is strong, or the lord of the sign of conveyances / is connected with the ascendant or its lord, its planetary period bestows conveyances.

If the lords of the fourth, ninth, eleventh, and second houses are connected with the ascendant and possess superior strength, / during their periods the native gradually attains kingdom, fortune, gain of wealth, and prosperity.

If these four are endowed with superior strength and connected with the body, all this becomes abundant; if weak, they cause misery; / if mixed, the results are mixed and there is humiliation of the body; if the significator, the lord of the house, and the occupant of the house are devoid of strength, they cause excessive torment.

When the lord of conveyances is in the sign of an enemy or debilitation, or in an evil house, and is aspected by the lord of the ninth house, / there will be attainment of very inferior conveyances, or unsteady conveyances.

Benefic planets situated in the ninth, tenth, or ascendant, occupying their exaltation, / if aspected by the lord of the ascendant, one will suffer grief at the end of possessing conveyances.

When Jupiter or the lord of happiness is conjoined with a benefic planet and posited in the ninth house from the ascendant in a benefic sign, one gains a palanquin for a very long time endowed with royal majesty; / if in an evil house, conjoined with a malefic, combust, debilitated, or in an enemy's sign, there is no good fortune of conveyances; if in its own sign and superior in all strengths, there is long-lasting happiness and riding in a palanquin.

If the lords of the fourth and tenth houses occupy or aspect the eleventh house / and are strong, they bestow all auspicious fortunes and success.

When the lords of happiness and fortune are situated in the eleventh house or aspect the fourth house, / the native will be rich with armies and all good fortune, and will become a favourite of the king.

If the lords of the ninth and fourth houses are connected with the ascendant / and conjoined with the aspect of Jupiter, he gains ornaments and the ability to subjugate kings.

When the lords of the benefic house and the house of conveyances are conjoined with benefic planets / and become strong, one is born a commander of many armies and prosperous.

When the lord of the house of conveyances is in the ninth house conjoined with Venus and Jupiter in the sign of a benefic planet, / and the lord of fortune is in a trine or a cardinal house, one gains conveyances, many territories, ornaments, and wealth.

The lords of the seventh, sixth, fourth, third, ninth, ascendant, and twelfth houses / conjoined with the lord of happiness bestow ownership of an area of land measuring a hundred or many units.

When the lord of happiness is Jupiter or Venus, is strong, and has gone to the ninth house from the ascendant, / and the lord of the ninth house is situated in a trine or a cardinal house, the native attains many conveyances.

When the lord of the fourth house is conjoined with Venus and Jupiter and occupies the ninth house, and the lord of fortune is in the fourth house, / or in a cardinal house or a trine, one possesses many conveyances and territories.

Now, the royal combinations (rājayogas):
When a benefic is situated in a cardinal house from the ascendant, the lord of the ninth occupies its exaltation house, / and the lord of wealth is in a cardinal house, the combination bestows a throne.

When the ninth house is aspected by a benefic, the lord of wealth is in a cardinal house together with benefics, / and an exalted planet is in the second house, the birth bestows a throne.

If the lords of the ascendant, the fourth house, and the ninth house are in the tenth house, the lord of the tenth is in the ascendant, / or a planet aspects the ascendant, it produces the fruit of a throne.

If the lords of the tenth, the ascendant, and the fourth house have gone to the tenth house, / [and] the lord of the tenth is connected with the ascendant, one becomes the master of a throne.

If Jupiter, Venus, and the lord of the ninth house are situated in cardinal or trine houses, / one will be endowed with numerous vehicles and become the ruler of a province.

If the lord of the fourth house and the lord of the tenth are powerful, aspected by the lord of the ninth, or conjunct with it, / or situated in each other's signs, they bring about the attainment of a throne.

At the time of their major period and sub-period, upon the arrival of the period of the sign occupied by them, / [and] upon the arrival of their lord's sub-period, one becomes the master of a throne.

Now, the consideration of fortune:
When the benefic lord of the ascendant has reached the fourth house, and the lord of the fourth house is in the ascendant in a benefic sign, / one constantly attains great happiness; if it has gone to the enemy's house, one attains the fortune of an enemy.

When the lord of the sixth house is in the ninth, not aspected by benefics, or endowed with strength, / it gives one's own fortune and the like to the enemy for a short time during the period of the lord of the fourth house.

When the lord of the fourth house is joined with a benefic planet, that [fortune] goes to the enemy until the end of its period; / if joined with a malefic, upon the completion of its period, one attains all of one's own fortune once again.

Now, the consideration of land:
When the fourth house is in a benefic sign, its lord is conjoined with a benefic, / and its significator is similarly situated, one is endowed with abundant land and wealth.

When the lord of land is in a debilitated navāṃśa, or in the Kālāgni, Śūla, or Antaka sixty-fold division (ṣaṣṭyaṃśa), / conjoined with a malefic or aspected by a malefic, the wise declare the destruction of lands and the like.

If the lord of the house of the ascendant lord is an enemy planet, during the sub-period of its period there is destruction of house and land; / during the sub-period of the lord of vehicles, loss of one's own kinsmen; and a sub-period conjunct Saturn, Mars, or Māndi is a cause of misfortune.

When the lord of wealth, together with the lord of the fourth house, is in the ninth house, conjunct a benefic and in a benefic sign, one attains buried treasure; if the lords of gain and the fourth are in signs of malefics, / and their lord is in a benefic sign conjunct a benefic, buried treasure is accomplished; if the lord of the eleventh house is in the fourth house conjunct a benefic, it bestows the wealth of buried treasure.
