प्रश्नावताराध्यायः
भवति प्रवृद्धवीर्ये गजतुरंगसुवर्णभूलाभः ।तद्वदधिवीर्ययुक्ते शक्तित्रयसम्पदादिबाहुल्यम् ॥ ८ ॥
If the planet is growing in strength, there may be gain of elephants, horses, gold and land. If it is extra strong, the same comes. Also the three powers, wealth and the like grow very much.
Simple meaning: 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.
प्रश्नाक्षरैरुदयहेतुभिरुल्लसद्भिर्बाह्यस्थितैश्च शकुनैरधिगम्य सम्यक् ।
The astrologer reads the question's letters, the signs of the moment and the omens. Then he tells good or bad.
