Bhava Kutuhala · Chapter 2
द्वितीयोध्यायः
This short chapter lists chart signs of troubles to parents and family. It reads the father from the 10th house counted from the Sun.
It reads the mother from the Moon and the planets around it. It then reads a brother, children and a wife from other planets. Each result is a risk that the old teachers name, not a fixed outcome.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
द्वितीयोध्यायः
आदित्याद्दशमे पापः पीड़ितो दशमाधिपः ।तदा पितुर्महाकष्टं निधनं वेति कीर्त्तितम् ॥ १ ॥
Count from the Sun. A bad planet may be in the 10th house from the Sun. The lord of the 10th house may also be troubled. Then it is said that the father may face great hardship. There is also a risk to his life.
Simple meaning: A bad planet in the 10th from the Sun, with a troubled 10th lord, shows hardship for the father.
द्वितीयोध्यायः
भवति यदि शशाङ्कः पापयोरन्तरालेजनुषि सुखनगस्थैः पापखेटैः शशांकात् ।विधुरपि बलहीनो नष्टकान्तिर्ज्जनन्यानिधनमपिविशेषादाहुराचार्यवर्य्याः ॥ २ ॥
The Moon may stand between two bad planets. At birth, bad planets may also be in the 4th and 7th houses from the Moon. The Moon itself may be weak and have lost its light. Then the best teachers say there is a special risk to the mother's life.

द्वितीयोध्यायः

Bad planets may be in the 6th house from Mercury. Mercury may also be in its low sign and have lost its strength. Then the best teachers say there is a special risk to the person's maternal uncles. (Our text is unclear here: the word 'vritto' before Mercury; it may mean 'surrounded by them'.)
Simple meaning: Bad planets in the 6th from Mercury, with Mercury weak in its low sign, show a risk to maternal uncles.
द्वितीयोध्यायः

Verse 2.1 counts from the Sun. A bad planet in the 10th house from the Sun, with a troubled 10th lord, may bring a hard time for the father.
Verse 2.2 reads the mother from the Moon. A weak, dim Moon between two bad planets, with more bad planets in the 4th and 7th from it, may bring her a hard time.
