ग्रहाणामवस्थाविचाराध्यायः
कौतुकभवनं गतवति शुक्रेशक्रेशत्वं सदसि महत्वम् ।हृद्याविद्या भवति च पुंसःपद्मोदरनिवसति पद्मोदरतः ॥ ११ ॥
When Venus is in the kautuka (amusement) state, the person gains a rank like Indra's. He is great in the assembly. His learning is pleasing. The last line seems to say that Lakshmi, goddess of wealth, lives with him. (Our text is unclear here: the play of words in 'padmodara nivasati padmodaratah'.)
Simple meaning: Venus in the amusement state gives high rank, greatness in the assembly and pleasing learning.
परसेवारतो नित्यं निद्रामुपगते कवौ ।
Venus in the sleeping state tends to bring service to others, blaming others, courage and a wandering life.
क्षुत्पिपासापरिक्रान्तो विश्रान्तः शयने शनौ ।
Saturn in the lying-down state may bring hunger and early illness, then good fortune later.
भानोः सुते चेदुपवेशनस्थे
Saturn in the sitting state may bring enemies, losses, a skin disease, pride and the king's punishment.
