Result of the Sun, Saturn, and Mars in the house of wealth:
The Sun, the son of the Sun, and the son of the Earth occupying or aspecting the house of family
cause the destruction of wealth, especially when aspected by the waning Moon.

The Sun and Mars situated in wealth are said to cause skin diseases and poverty;
Saturn, if unafflicted and aspected by Mercury there, makes one endowed with great wealth.

The preceptor of the gods aspected by Mercury in the sign of family causes destitution;

Knowledge of the number of brothers:
As many navāṃśas as have arrived in the sign of siblings,
that many they cause [in number]; when aspected by others, likewise many.

Result of Saturn and Venus in the third house:
The son of the Sun situated there, aspected by Mars, destroys those who are born;
Venus fully aspected by Jupiter constantly nourishes the co-heirs.
