ग्रहावस्थाफलकथनाध्यायः
This chapter covers the age states of planets and other states. In a sign, a planet passes through five age states by parts of 6 degrees.
They run from child to youth, young, old and dead. A child planet gives a small result and a young planet gives the full result. The chapter then names states such as shining, at ease, glad and calm. It gives the result of each.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
अथ ग्रहाणां बालाद्यवस्था फलानि—
बालो रसांशैरसमे प्रदिष्टस्ततः कुमारो हि युवाथवृद्धः ।मृतः क्रमादुत्क्रमतः समर्क्षेबालाद्यवस्थाः कथिता ग्रहाणाम् ॥ १ ॥
In an odd sign, a planet's age states go by parts of 6 degrees. The first part is the child (bala) state. Then come the youth (kumara), young (yuva), old (vriddha) and dead (mrita) states, in order. In an even sign they come in the reverse order. These are the child and other states of the planets.
Simple meaning: In odd signs a planet goes from child to dead state, 6 degrees each. Even signs reverse it.
