भावफलविचाराध्यायः
षडादित्रयगे नीचे पुत्रेशे पापसंयुते ।काकवन्ध्यापतिस्तत्र केतुचन्द्रसुतौ यदा ॥ १८ ॥
The lord of the 5th house may be in its low sign in the 6th, 7th or 8th house. Bad planets may join it. Ketu and Mercury may also be there. Then the person's wife may have only one child.
Simple meaning: A weak 5th lord with bad planets in the 6th, 7th or 8th house may mean only one child.
तदीशो नीचगो यत्र पुत्रभावं न पश्यति ।
A 5th lord in its low sign that does not see the 5th house may mean only one child.
धर्माधीशोऽङ्गगो नीचे सुतेशो यदि जन्मनि ।
With these placements a son may come only with difficulty.
पञ्चमाधिपतिः केन्द्रे त्रिकोणे वा शुभैर्युतः ।
A well-placed 5th lord with good planets may give a son soon; the opposite brings delay.
