Daivajna Vallabha · Chapter 10
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
This chapter is about mook prashna, reading the unspoken thought in the asker's mind. Planets in the rising sign and the 7th house show whom he thinks of.
The planets also show the colour and shape of the thing. Planets and their navamshas show whether the thought is a metal, a plant or a living being.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
लग्नस्थः शशिबुधवीक्षितः सुधांशुश्चान्द्रिर्वा कथयति चिन्तितां कुमारीम् ।वृद्धां स्त्रीं शनिरिनगीष्पती प्रसूतां शुक्रारावथ तरुणीं नरेऽपि चैवम् ॥ १ ॥
The Moon or Mercury may stand in the rising sign, and the other of the two looks at it. Then the asker thinks of an unmarried girl. Saturn there shows an old woman. The Sun and Jupiter show a woman who has had a child. Venus and Mars show a young woman. Read it the same way for a man.
Simple meaning: The planet in the rising sign shows which girl or woman the asker thinks of.
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
अस्ते सितार्करविजैः परकीयजाया स्वीया गुरौ शशिनि तत्तनये च वेश्या ।वाच्या वयश्च शशिवत्परिचिन्तनीयं सौरेऽन्त्यजातिरितरैरपि चिन्तिता स्यात् ॥ २ ॥
Venus, the Sun or Saturn in the 7th house shows another man's wife. Jupiter there shows the asker's own wife. The Moon and Mercury show a woman of loose ways. Tell her age too, judged as with the Moon. Saturn shows a woman of low standing. With the other planets too, a woman may be the thought.
Simple meaning: A planet in the 7th house shows which woman the asker thinks of.
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
लग्ने ग्रहैरात्मसमो बलस्थैर्भ्राता तृतीयैस्तनयः सुतस्थैः ।माता चतुर्थैरथवा स्वसा स्याच्छत्रुस्थितैः शत्रुगतैव चिन्ता ॥ ३ ॥
If strong planets stand in the rising sign, the asker thinks of someone like himself. Strong planets in the 3rd house show a brother. In the 5th, a son. In the 4th, a mother or a sister. In the 6th house, the thought is about an enemy.
Simple meaning: Strong planets show whom the asker thinks of: himself, a brother, a son, a mother, a sister or an enemy.
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
भार्या भवेत्सप्तमगैरमीभिर्धर्माश्रितो धर्मसमाश्रितैश्च ।खस्थैर्गुरुः स्वांशपमित्रशत्रुस्थानेषु तद्वद्बलवत्सु वाच्यम् ॥ ४ ॥
Strong planets in the 7th house show a wife. In the 9th house they show a man of religion. In the 10th house they show a teacher or elder. A strong planet may sit in its navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) lord's place. Or in a friend's or an enemy's place. Say the same then. (Our text is unclear here: what these places add to the reading.)
Simple meaning: Strong planets in the 7th, 9th or 10th house show a wife, a religious man, or a teacher.
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
भागे चरे चरविलग्नगते च मध्याद् भ्रष्टप्रवासविषया भवतीह चिन्ता ।भ्रष्टः स चेद्भवति सप्तमतस्तदा तु व्यावर्तते यदि न वक्रगतो ग्रहोऽसौ ॥ ५ ॥
The rising sign may be a movable sign, and its navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) movable too. Then the thought is about someone who has gone away from home. A planet may have slipped away from the 7th house. Then the one abroad comes back, if that planet is not retrograde. (Our text is unclear here: what 'from the middle' means, and how the planet leaving the 7th works.)
Simple meaning: A movable rising sign shows a thought about someone abroad. He may come back.
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
दीर्घास्तुलालिमृगनायककन्यकाः स्युर्मध्या धनुर्मकरकर्कटयुग्मसंज्ञाः ।ह्रस्वाश्च मेषवृषमीनघटाः प्रदिष्टा वस्तुप्रमाणमपि राशिसमानमेव ॥ ६ ॥
Libra, Scorpio, Leo and Virgo are called long signs. Sagittarius, Capricorn, Cancer and Gemini are middle signs. Aries, Taurus, Pisces and Aquarius are short signs. The size of the thing matches the sign.
Simple meaning: The sign shows the size of the thing: long, middle or short.

रक्तौ सूर्यमहीसुतौ शशिसितौ श्वेतौ सुधादीधितेः सूनुः स्याद्धरिताकृतिः सुरगुरुः पीतः शनिः श्यामलः ।सूर्यः स्याच्चतुरस्रकः क्षितिसुतो वृत्तस्तथा रंध्रवान् सौम्यो दीर्घतनुस्तथा शशधरो दीर्घाकृतिः सुंदरः ॥ ७ ॥
The Sun and Mars are red. The Moon and Venus are white. Mercury is green. Jupiter is yellow. Saturn is dark. The Sun is square in shape. Mars is round and has holes. Mercury has a long body. The Moon has a long, beautiful shape.
Simple meaning: Each planet has a colour and a shape. These show the colour and shape of the thing.
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
जीवो वृत्तवपुः सितस्त्वतिकृशः सौरिश्च दीर्घाकृतिर्मध्ये रंध्रसमन्वितश्च कथितं रूपं ग्रहाणामिदम् ।इत्येवं कृतचिन्तितादिविषयप्रश्नेषु वर्णाकृती द्रव्यस्यापि बलान्वितग्रहवशान्निःसंशयं निर्दिशेत् ॥ ८ ॥
Jupiter has a round body. Venus is very thin. Saturn has a long shape with a hole in the middle. These are the shapes of the planets. So in questions about a thought and the like, tell the colour and shape of the thing. Tell them from the strong planets, without doubt.
Simple meaning: Use the strong planets to tell the colour and shape of the thing the asker thinks of.
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
लग्ने वाभ्युदितं त्रिकोणभवने स्वांशं निजांशस्थितो यः कश्चिद्ग्रह ईक्षते तदिह वा स्याद्धातुचिन्ता ध्रुवम् ।अन्यांशे समवस्थितः पुनरसौ जीवस्य चिन्ताकरौ मूलस्यापि परांशके परिगतः पश्यन् परांशं ग्रहः ॥ ९ ॥
A planet may stand in its own navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). Its own navamsha may be rising in the rising sign, or fall in a trine house. If the planet looks at it, or stands there, the thought is surely about a metal. If the planet stands in another's navamsha, the thought is about a living being. If it stands in another's navamsha and looks at another's navamsha, the thought is about a plant.
Simple meaning: A planet in its own navamsha shows a metal. In another's navamsha it shows a living being or a plant.
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
विद्याद्ग्रहे तु विषमे किल धातुमूल जीवान् समे तु विपरीतमिदं विचिन्त्यम् ।लग्नांशकक्रमवशाद्गणनीयमेवं संक्षेप एष विवृतिस्त्वतिचिन्तनेन ॥ १० ॥
Say the planet is in an odd sign. Its navamshas (one-ninth parts of a sign) show metal, plant and living being, in order. In an even sign, the order is reversed. Count by the order of the navamshas of the rising sign. This is the short way. The full account needs deep thought.
Simple meaning: In an odd sign the order is metal, plant, living being. In an even sign it is the reverse.
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
बलिनौ भास्करभौमौ धातुकरौ संस्थितौ प्रश्ने ।मूलकरौ शनिसौम्यौ शशिगुरुभृगुजास्तथा जीवाः ॥ ११ ॥
If the Sun and Mars are strong in the question chart, the thought is about metal. Strong Saturn and Mercury show a plant. The Moon, Jupiter and Venus show a living being.
Simple meaning: Sun and Mars show metal. Saturn and Mercury show plants. Moon, Jupiter and Venus show living beings.
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
मेषे सिंहे वृश्चिके वा विलग्ने भौमार्काभ्यामन्विते वीक्षिते वा ।धातोश्चिन्तां सौरिचन्द्रात्मजाभ्यां मूलं युग्मे कुम्भकन्यामृगेषु ॥ १२ ॥
The rising sign may be Aries, Leo or Scorpio, joined or seen by Mars and the Sun. Then the thought is about metal. The rising sign may be Gemini, Aquarius, Virgo or Capricorn, joined or seen by Saturn and Mercury. Then the thought is about a plant.
Simple meaning: Mars and the Sun show metal. Saturn and Mercury show a plant.
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
मीनकर्कवृषचापतौलिभिश्चन्द्रशुक्रगुरुभिर्युतेक्षितैः ।जीवमाहुरिति मिश्रितं धनं मिश्रितग्रहयुतेक्षणात्तथा ॥ १३ ॥
The rising sign may be Pisces, Cancer, Taurus, Sagittarius or Libra, joined or seen by the Moon, Venus and Jupiter. Then the thought is about a living being. Mixed planets joining or seeing it show a mixed thing.
Simple meaning: The Moon, Venus and Jupiter with these signs show a living being. Mixed planets show a mixed thing.
Verse 10.11 says the Sun and Mars show a metal, Saturn and Mercury a plant, and the Moon, Jupiter and Venus a living being.
Verse 10.8 says to tell the colour and shape of the thing from the strong planets. Verse 10.7 gives each planet's colour and shape.
