> 4-4-1. If two fours and a one fall certainly for someone: loss of kin, distress, and great affliction will be yours. // 1  
> And a very sharp conflict, and an adverse asterism is yours; nor does your ancestral inheritance or occupation endure. // 2  
> And whatever you have conceived in your distressed heart,  
> think of some other matter, for its realization does not exist. // 3  
> For about five years you will suffer and gain nothing. And this is your identifying mark:  
> a mole is upon your back. // 4  
> 1-4-4. But where a one is first and two fours occur:  
> you will attain the succession of all undertakings and wealth. // 5  
> And auspicious to you is your family deity, Mahādeva, the great lord;  
> perform his praise, worship, and vigil. // 6  
> To you \[…\] a great gain will occur, there is no doubt. And this is your identifying mark:  
> you have a wound \[on your …\]. // 7  
> And in a dream you had a great dispute \[…\].  
> 4-1-4. A four, a one in the middle, and at the end a four. // 8  
> Whatever matter you have considered \[…\] / and whatever matter you think of, that too will bring you increase and good fortune. // 9  
> You do not respect your mother, father, friends, or your own kin;  
> nor do you worship the elders, the deity, or Maheśvara. // 10  
> Therefore, all the wealth you have thought of does not materialize;  
> \[yet if he is\] pleased, he will bring about peace and ease of heart for you. // 11  
> 3-3-4. Affection produced from business, reunion with friends and kin,  
> and release from all sorrow you, desiring prosperity, will obtain. // 12  
> Without a doubt, from here in the sixth month you will be very wealthy;  
> what was contemplated by you in thought—its gain is beyond doubt. // 13  
> Without obstacle, all that will arrive with ease. And this is your identifying mark:  
> you have a wound on the back of your head. // 14
