In the Mercury period, the person especially gains fine food, outings, vehicles, people around, children and money. There is honour, rows of clothes, villages, a new house and a moon-faced woman. There is company of good people and unmatched pleasure of love. There is comfort from tall elephants. The wise say it also brings growth of children and fame, and success. (Our text is unclear here: the words 'angam atulam' do not settle.)
