प्रश्नावताराध्यायः
दीप्ते सिद्धिरनुत्तमा नरपतेर्दीने च दैन्यागमः स्वस्थे स्वे मनसि स्थितं च भवति श्रीकीर्तिसौख्यादिकम् ।आमोदो मुदिते यथेप्सितफलप्राप्तिः प्रसुप्ते विपत्पीडाशत्रुकृता प्रपीडिततनौ मोषं गतेऽर्थक्षयः ॥ ७ ॥
If the planet is bright, the king gets the very best success. If it is weak, poverty and sorrow may come. If it is at ease, the wish held in the mind comes true. Wealth, fame, comfort and the like come too. If it is happy, there is joy and the wished result. If it is sleeping, misfortune may come. If it is troubled, there may be trouble caused by enemies. If it is robbed, wealth may be lost.
Simple meaning: A bright planet brings great success. A weak one may bring sorrow. A robbed one may cost money.
भवति प्रवृद्धवीर्ये गजतुरंगसुवर्णभूलाभः ।
A planet growing in strength brings animals, gold and land. An extra strong planet brings even more.
पुष्पैः फलैः कनकरत्नयुतैः स्वभूमौ नक्षत्रजातिसहितं ग्रहराशिचक्रम् ।
The asker worships the chart with flowers, fruits and gems, with faith and a steady mind.
प्रातः पुमान्विहितदेवगुरुप्रणामः पाणौ वहन् कुसुमरत्नफलाक्षताश्च ।
In the morning, the asker bows to the gods and honours the astrologer. He asks only once.
