प्रश्नावताराध्यायः
प्रातः पुमान्विहितदेवगुरुप्रणामः पाणौ वहन् कुसुमरत्नफलाक्षताश्च ।सत्कृत्य दैवविदमादरमादधानः पृच्छेत्सकृच्छुभमनाः शुभदिङ्मुखस्थः ॥ १० ॥
In the morning the man bows to the gods and to his teacher. He holds flowers, gems, fruits and whole rice grains in his hand. He honours the astrologer and shows him respect. With a good mind, facing a good direction, he should ask once.
Simple meaning: In the morning, the asker bows to the gods and honours the astrologer. He asks only once.
प्रश्नाक्षरैरुदयहेतुभिरुल्लसद्भिर्बाह्यस्थितैश्च शकुनैरधिगम्य सम्यक् ।
The astrologer reads the question's letters, the signs of the moment and the omens. Then he tells good or bad.
फलभरकुसुमाभिरामभूमिरुहभुवि गोमयपुष्पतोयवत्याम् ।
If people ask on pleasant ground with fruit trees, flowers and water, their wish will surely come true.
दृक्चेतसोः सुखकरी यदि भूमिरस्ति मांगल्यवस्तुविषये शुभदर्शने चेत् ।
If the place is pleasing and lucky things are seen at the asking, the astrologer should tell good.
