Then wife, death, duty, work, income and loss, in order. For each lagna (rising sign) from Aries, tell the nine-fold tara (star count from the birth nakshatra) strength clearly.
Simple meaning: The other six houses follow in order. Then the strength of the nine stars is told.
जन्म संपद्विपत्क्षेमं प्रत्यरिः साधकः क्रमात् ।
The nine taras are: birth, wealth, danger, safety, enemy, achiever, death, friend, best friend.
