Chapter 15 · Results of the Twelve Houses
भावफलविचाराध्यायः
तदीशो नीचगो यत्र पुत्रभावं न पश्यति ।तत्रैव बुधमन्दौ वा काकवन्ध्यापतिर्भवेत् ॥ १९ ॥
The lord of the 5th house may be in its low sign. From there it may not look at the 5th house. Or Mercury and Saturn may be in that same place. Then the person's wife may have only one child.
Simple meaning: 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.
सन्तानभवनाधीशो जन्मलग्नाधिपस्तथा ।
Both lords in male signs show a son; in female signs, a daughter.
