viyoni janma
Non-human Birth.
3.1
krūra grahaiḥ subalibhir vibalaiś ca saumyaiḥ klībe catuṣṭaya gate tad avekṣaṇād vā/
candra upaga dvi rasa bhāga sa māna rūpaṃ satvaṃ vaded yadi bhavet sa viyoni saṃjñaḥ//(va ti)
When malefic planets are very strong, benefics are weak, and a neuter is in a cardinal house or aspects it, / one should declare the creature to be of a form corresponding to the dvādaśāṃśa occupied by the Moon, provided that sign is called non-human.
3.2
pāpā balinaḥ sva bhāgagāḥ pārakye vibalāś ca śobhanāḥ/
lagnaṃ ca viyoni saṃjñakaṃ dṛṣṭvā atra api viyonim ādiśet//(vai lī)
When the malefics are strong and in their own divisions, and the benefics are in another's division and weak, / and upon seeing that the ascendant too is of non-human designation, in this case also one should predict a non-human birth.
3.3
kriyaḥ śiro vakra gale vṛṣo anye pāda aṃśakaṃ pṛṣṭham uro atha pārśve/
kukṣis tv apāna aṅghryā atha meḍhra muṣkau sphik puccham ity āha catuṣpada aṅge//(u jā)
Aries is the head; Taurus is the face and neck; the remaining signs in order are the shoulders and forelegs, back, chest, flanks, / belly, anus and hindlegs, penis and testicles, and buttocks and tail: thus he has described the limbs of a quadruped.
3.4
lagna aṃśakād graha yoga īkṣaṇād vā varṇān vaded bala yuktā dvi yonau/
dṛṣṭyā sa mānān pravadet sva saṃkhyayā rekhāṃ vadet smara saṃsthaiś ca pṛṣṭhe//(vaiśvadevī)
From the navāṃśa of the ascendant or from the planet's conjunction and aspect, one should predict the colors of the strong planet in a non-human birth; / One should state stripes equal in number to the aspecting planets according to their count, and from those situated in the seventh house, [stripes] upon the back.
3.5
khage dṛkāṇe bala saṃyutena vā graheṇa yukte cara bha aṃśaka udaye/
budha aṃśake vā vihagāḥ sthala aṃbujāḥ śanaiścara indv īkṣaṇa yoga saṃbhavāḥ//(vaṃśastha)
When a bird decan rises, or one conjoined with a strong planet, and the navāṃśa of a movable sign is rising, / or in a navāṃśa of Mercury, birds born on land or in water arise from the aspect or conjunction of Saturn and the Moon.
3.6
horā indu sūri ravibhir vibalais taruṇāṃ toye sthale taru bhava aṃśa kṛtaḥ prabhedaḥ/
lagnād grahaḥ sthala jala ṛkṣa patis tu yāvāṃs tāvanta eva taravaḥ sthala toya jātāḥ//(va ti.)
When the ascendant, the Moon, Jupiter, and the Sun are weak, a distinction of trees in water or on land is made by the navāṃśa born of the tree; / As many houses from the ascendant as the planet lord of a land or water sign is distant, just so many are the trees produced on land or in water.
3.7
antaḥ sārāñ janayati ravir durbhagān sūrya sūnuḥ kṣīra upetāṃs tuhina kiraṇaḥ kaṇṭaka āḍhyāṃś ca bhaumaḥ/
vāg īśa jñau sa phala viphalān puṣpa vṛkṣāṃś ca śukraḥ snigdhān induḥ kaṭuka viṭapān bhūmi putraś ca bhūyaḥ//(mandāprāṃtā)
The Sun produces [trees] solid within; the son of the Sun, [trees that are] withered; / the cold-rayed [Moon], [trees] possessing sap; and Mars, [trees] rich in thorns; / the lord of speech and Mercury, fruitful and barren [trees respectively]; and Venus, flowering trees; / the Moon, glossy [trees]; and the son of the earth again, bitter shrubs.
3.8
śubho śubha ṛkṣe ruciraṃ kubhūmijaṃ karoti vṛkṣaṃ viparītam anyathā//
para aṃśake yāvati vicyutaḥ svakād bhavanti tulyās taravas tathā vidhāḥ//(vaṃśastha)E3
A benefic in a malefic sign produces a splendid tree growing on bad ground; otherwise, the reverse. / By as many foreign degrees as it has departed from its own, so many similar trees are produced.
