Chapter 11 · The Twelve States of a Planet
अवस्थाफलकथनाध्यायः
यदा पश्येदङ्गं तनुभवननाथोऽष्टमपतिमूर्तिं धर्माधीशो जनुषि च तपः स्थानमथवा ।शुभाभ्यामाक्रांतं नवमभवनं पापरहितंवरक्षेत्रं प्राप्य व्रजति मनुजो मोक्षपदवीम् ॥ २२ ॥
A combination for reaching a holy place. The lord of the 1st house sees the 1st house. The lord of the 8th house sees the 1st house. The lord of the 9th house sees the 1st house, or the house of tapas (penance). Two good planets are in the 9th house, and no bad planet. Then the person may reach a holy place and walk the path of moksha (freedom from rebirth). (Our text is unclear here: which lord sees which house is not certain.)
Simple meaning: If the 1st, 8th and 9th lords see the 1st, and good planets hold the 9th, moksha may follow.
राहुणा सहितौ यस्य निधनस्थौ कुजार्कजौ ।
Mars and Saturn with Rahu in the 8th house show a risk of untimely death by a weapon.
निधनोपि शुभो यस्य पापारिग्रहवीक्षितः ।
A good planet in the 8th, seen by bad or enemy planets, may show a risk of death in battle.
यदा निद्रायुक्तो निधनभवनं पापमिलितः
A sleeping planet with a bad one in the 8th risks harm from enemies. Good planets give a holy end.
