प्रश्नावताराध्यायः
नत्वोद्गिरन्तमनलं भैरवमद्वैतमीश्वरं नृहरिम् ।वराहेणैषा क्रियते प्रश्ने दैवज्ञवल्लभारचना ॥ १ ॥
I bow to Narahari (Vishnu as man-lion), the fearsome one who breathes out fire, the one Lord without a second. Varaha writes this book, A Dear Friend of the Astrologer, on the question chart.
Simple meaning: The author bows to Narahari and says this book is about question charts.
दीप्ताद्यं दशभेदं व्योमचराणां निरूप्य भावफलम् ।
If the astrologer studies the planet states and house results first, what he tells will come true.
दीप्तो दीनः स्वस्थो मुदितः सुप्तः प्रपीडितो मुषितः ।
A planet has ten states, from bright and weak to growing strong and extra strong.
स्वोच्चे दीप्तो नीचे दीनः स्वगृहे व्यवस्थितः स्वस्थः ।
A planet is bright in its high sign, weak in its low sign, and happy in a friend's sign.
