Daivajna Vallabha · Chapter 11
वृष्टिनिर्णयाध्यायः
This short chapter is a prashna for rain. It names the placings of Saturn and Venus that bring rain soon in the rainy season.
Good planets in water signs help in the bright half of the month. The Moon in a water rising sign, seen by strong Venus, brings heavy rain.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
वृष्टिनिर्णयाध्यायः
चन्द्रार्कयोः शनिसितौ यदि सप्तमस्थौ तुर्येऽष्टमे च भवतो यदि वा विलग्नात् ।स्यातां धने च सहजे यदि तौ विलग्नाद्वर्षासु वर्षणमचिरेण तदा विधत्तः ॥ १ ॥
Saturn and Venus may stand in the 7th house from the Moon and the Sun. Or they may stand in the 4th and 8th from the rising sign. Or they may stand in the 2nd and 3rd from the rising sign. Then they bring rain soon in the rainy season.
Simple meaning: If Saturn and Venus stand in these places, rain will come soon in the rainy season.

पक्षे सिते सलिलराशिगताः शुभाश्चेत् केन्द्रद्वितीयसहजालयगाश्च सम्यक् ।चन्द्रोऽथवा सलिलराशिविलग्नगश्चेत् वृष्टिं वदेन्नियतमेव तदा धरित्र्याम् ॥ २ ॥
In the bright half of the month, good planets may stand well in water signs. They may also be in the corner houses, the 2nd or the 3rd. Then say rain on earth is sure. Say the same if the Moon is in a water sign that is the rising sign.
Simple meaning: In the bright half, good planets in water signs, or the Moon in a water rising sign, bring rain.

शीतद्युतिः सलिलराशि विलग्नगामी वीर्यान्वितेन भृगुजेन निरीक्ष्यमाणः ।वृष्टिं करोति महतीं भृगुजोऽपितद्वच्छीतांशुना बलयुतेन विलोकितश्चेत् ॥ ४ ॥
The Moon may be in the rising sign, and it is a water sign. If strong Venus looks at the Moon, it brings heavy rain. Venus does the same if the strong Moon looks at her.
