Chapter 6 · Children in the Birth Chart
पुत्रभावविचाराध्यायः
मन्देन्दुदृष्टो रिपुसंयुतोङ्गाधिपो रविश्शत्रुधने विपुत्रः ।मन्दोरिगेहे बुधसूर्य्यचन्द्रैर्दृष्टो विलग्ने खलवीक्षिते वा ॥ १२ ॥
The lord of the rising sign may be looked at by Saturn and the Moon. It may be joined with an enemy planet. The Sun may be in an enemy's place. Then there is a risk of having no son. Or Saturn may be in an enemy's sign, looked at by Mercury, the Sun and the Moon. Or the rising sign may be looked at by bad planets. (Our text is unclear here: the word for the Sun's place may mean an enemy's sign or the 6th and 2nd houses.)
Simple meaning: These placements of the lagna lord, Sun and Saturn may bring a risk of having no son.
मन्दालयेर्के खलदृष्टियुक्ते लग्नेपि वा पापखगस्य वर्गे ।
The old texts link this placement to a risk of losing children, and to the family god's anger.
अपत्यभावे यदि मङ्गलः
Mars in the 5th house, or a weak 5th lord with bad planets, may bring a risk to children.
गुरोः सुतागारपतिः सपापो
A weak 5th lord with bad planets, counted from Jupiter, may bring a risk of no son.
