Chapter 10 · The Thought in the Mind
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.
विद्याद्ग्रहे तु विषमे किल धातुमूल जीवान् समे तु विपरीतमिदं विचिन्त्यम् ।
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.
