Chapter 13 · Birth of a Son or Daughter
स्त्रीपुंजन्माध्यायः
स्थिरे विलग्ने स्थिरलग्नगामिभिर्ग्रहैः शुभैश्चापि विलोकिते च ।भृतं युवत्या ध्रुवमेव गर्भं ब्रूयादिति श्रीयवनाधिनाथः ॥ १ ॥
Question about a pregnancy: the rising sign is a fixed sign. Planets in fixed signs look at it, and good planets look at it too. Then the astrologer should say the young woman is surely pregnant. So says the revered lord of the Yavanas.
Simple meaning: A fixed rising sign seen by planets in fixed signs and by good planets shows a pregnancy.
लग्नतो विषमराशिगः शनिः पुत्रजन्मनि भवेत्सकारणम् ।
Saturn in an odd sign from the rising sign points to a son. In an even sign, a girl.
पुरुषवर्गगते च तथोदये नरनभोगतिनाऽभिनिरीक्षिते ।
If a strong rising sign is in male divisions and a male planet looks at it, a son is born.
उदयगते स्त्रीराशौ स्त्रीनवभागेऽपि पुंग्रहाऽदृष्टे ।
A female rising sign in a female navamsha, unseen by male planets, shows a girl.
