Chapter 13 · Age States and Other States
ग्रहावस्थाफलकथनाध्यायः
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.
फलं तु किंचिद्धि तनोति बाला
Child state gives a little, youth half, young the full result. Old gives bad results; dead may bring danger.
उच्चे दीप्तः स्वभे स्वस्थो मित्रभे हर्षितो भवेत् ।
Shining in its high sign, at ease in its own, glad in a friend's, calm in good divisions.
लुप्तोऽस्ते नीचभे दीनः पीडितः पापशत्रुभे ।
A planet set near the Sun is lost, in its low sign sad, in a bad or enemy sign troubled.
