दशाफलाध्यायः
भावाधिपो बलयुतो निजगेहगामीतुङ्गत्रिकोणशुभवर्गगतोपि पूर्णम् ।जन्तोः फलं किल करोति यदारिनीचस्थान स्थितोऽशुभफलं विबलो विशेषात् ॥ २७ ॥
A strong lord of a house gives the full result for the person. This is so in its own sign or high sign. It is so in its mulatrikona (a planet's strong own-sign part) or a good division. When it is weak in an enemy's or a low sign, it gives a bad result, especially.
Simple meaning: A strong house lord well placed gives full results. A weak one in a bad sign gives bad ones.
बलवन्तो दशाधीशा दिशन्ति सकलं फलम् ।
A strong period lord gives the full result. A weak one gives none. A middle one gives a middle result.
लग्नेशस्य दशाफलं बहुधनं वित्तेशितुः पञ्चतां
The 1st lord brings wealth, the 2nd hardship, the 3rd mostly bad, the 4th a house, the 5th learning.
मृत्युं मृत्युपतेः करोति नियतं धर्मेशितुः सुक्रियां
The 8th lord may risk death. The 9th gives good deeds, the 10th money, the 11th gain, the 12th loss.
