Bhava Kutuhala · Chapter 6
पुत्रभावविचाराध्यायः
This chapter reads children in the birth chart from the 5th house. The 5th lord joining or looking at the 5th, with good planets there, may bring a child soon.
The planets that look at the 5th house show sons and daughters. The chapter then lists combinations that may delay or trouble the joy of children. It ends with remedies of worship and vows.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
