प्रश्नावताराध्यायः
पुष्पैः फलैः कनकरत्नयुतैः स्वभूमौ नक्षत्रजातिसहितं ग्रहराशिचक्रम् ।श्रद्धां अभ्यर्च्यं भक्तिभरबंधुकंधराग्रः विधाय निजचेतसि निर्विकल्पे ॥ ९ ॥
On his own ground, the asker brings flowers, fruits, gold and gems. With them he worships the wheel of planets and signs, with the nakshatras and their groups. His neck bends low under his devotion. He keeps faith in his mind and holds it free of doubt.
Simple meaning: 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.
फलभरकुसुमाभिरामभूमिरुहभुवि गोमयपुष्पतोयवत्याम् ।
If people ask on pleasant ground with fruit trees, flowers and water, their wish will surely come true.
