प्रश्नावताराध्यायः
दृक्चेतसोः सुखकरी यदि भूमिरस्ति मांगल्यवस्तुविषये शुभदर्शने चेत् ।प्रच्छाविधौ शुभमुपस्थितमादरेण तत्रापि वाच्यमिति वक्ति मयो मणित्थः ॥ १३ ॥
The ground may please the eye and the mind. At the asking, lucky things may come into sight. Something good may be brought with respect. Then too the astrologer should tell good. So say Maya and Manittha.
Simple meaning: If the place is pleasing and lucky things are seen at the asking, the astrologer should tell good.
प्रातः पुमान्विहितदेवगुरुप्रणामः पाणौ वहन् कुसुमरत्नफलाक्षताश्च ।
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.
