Chapter 10 · The Thought in the Mind
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.
बलिनौ भास्करभौमौ धातुकरौ संस्थितौ प्रश्ने ।
Sun and Mars show metal. Saturn and Mercury show plants. Moon, Jupiter and Venus show living beings.
मेषे सिंहे वृश्चिके वा विलग्ने भौमार्काभ्यामन्विते वीक्षिते वा ।
Mars and the Sun show metal. Saturn and Mercury show a plant.
मीनकर्कवृषचापतौलिभिश्चन्द्रशुक्रगुरुभिर्युतेक्षितैः ।
The Moon, Venus and Jupiter with these signs show a living being. Mixed planets show a mixed thing.
