ग्रहाणामवस्थाविचाराध्यायः
विद्याविवेकरहितो हिततोषहीनोमानी जनो भवति चन्द्रसुतेऽक्षिपाणौ ।पुत्रालये सुतकलत्रसुखेन हीनःकन्याप्रजो नृपतिगेहबुधो वरार्यः ॥ ३ ॥
When Mercury is in the netrapani (hand over the eyes) state, the person may lack learning and good sense. He may get little joy from friends, and he is proud. If Mercury is in the 5th house, he may lack the happiness of children and wife. His children may be mostly daughters. If Mercury is in the 10th house, he is a fine and noble person.
Simple meaning: Mercury with hand over the eyes may bring little learning. In the 10th house it makes a person noble.
