Chapter 11 · The Twelve States of a Planet
अवस्थाफलकथनाध्यायः
निजक्षेत्रे तुंगे कविकुजगृहे मित्र भवनेस्ववर्गे सद्वर्गे तमसि शयने जन्मसमये ।फलं पूर्णं प्राहुः कथित भवनादन्यभवनेतदादुष्टप्रांचस्तदिह शिखिनो राहुवदिदम् ॥ १४ ॥
Rahu may be in shayana (lying down) at birth. Then its result is called full in its own sign or its high sign. It is also full in a sign of Venus or Mars, or a friend's sign. The same holds in its own varga (division of a sign) or a good planet's varga. In other places, the old teachers call it bad. Ketu is the same as Rahu. (Our text is unclear here: 'tadadushta' may also read 'not bad'.)
Simple meaning: Rahu lying down gives full results in its own, high, friendly, Venus or Mars sign. Ketu is the same.
यदि निद्रागतः पापः सप्तमे पापपीडितः ।
A bad planet sleeping in the 7th may risk the wife. Good planets with it remove this risk.
निद्रितो रिपुगेहस्थो रिपुयुक्तेक्षितो मदे ।
A sleeping planet in the 7th, in an enemy's sign, may soon risk the wife.
शुभयोगेक्षणादेका विनश्यति परा नहि ।
With good planets, one wife may be lost but not the next. With mixed aspects, the wife may have hardship.
