Chapter 6 · Children in the Birth Chart
पुत्रभावविचाराध्यायः
गुरोः सुतागारपतिः सपापोबलेन हीनो मनुजो विपुत्रः ।अरावपापे निधने तदीशःसुतेन हीनो मनुजस्तदानीम् ॥ १५ ॥
Count from Jupiter. The lord of the 5th house from there may be with bad planets and weak. Then the person may have no son. Then the verse names Mars or the 6th house, 'free of bad planets', the 8th house and 'its lord'. Then too the person may be without a son. (Our text is unclear here: how these words in the second half join.)
Simple meaning: A weak 5th lord with bad planets, counted from Jupiter, may bring a risk of no son.
तथैव भानुः खलुपञ्चमस्थो
The Sun in the 5th house, or the 5th lord in the 8th or 12th, may risk children.
यदागुसूर्य्यारशनैश्चराणां
A fault from Rahu, Sun, Mars or Saturn is linked, in the old view, to a risk to a son.
बुधशुक्रकृते दोषे सुताप्तिः शिवपूजनात् ।
For a fault from Mercury or Venus, worship Shiva. For Jupiter or Moon, use yantra, mantra and medicine.
