Chapter 13 · Birth of a Son or Daughter
स्त्रीपुंजन्माध्यायः
ओजर्क्षे पुरुषांशकेषु बलिभिर्लग्नार्कगुर्विन्दुभिः पुंजन्म प्रवदेत्समांशकगतैर्युग्मेषु तैर्योषितः ।गुर्वर्कौ विषमे नरं शशिसितौ वक्रश्च युग्मे स्त्रियं धीलाभोपगतैः शुभैरुदयतः स्त्री गर्भयुक्ता ध्रुवम् ॥ ५ ॥
The rising sign, the Sun, Jupiter and the Moon are strong. They are in odd signs and in male navamshas (one-ninth parts of a sign). Then the astrologer should say a son will be born. If they are in even signs and even navamshas, say a girl. Jupiter and the Sun in an odd sign show a boy. The Moon, Venus and Mars in an even sign show a girl. Good planets in the 5th and 11th houses from the rising sign show the woman is surely pregnant.
Simple meaning: Strong rising sign, Sun, Jupiter and Moon in odd signs show a son. In even signs, a girl.
चन्द्रलग्नान्तरगतैर्ग्रहैः स्युरूपसूतिकाः ।
Planets between the Moon and the rising sign show how many women help at the birth.
बलयुक्तौ स्वगृहांशेष्वर्कसितावुपचयर्क्षगौ पुंसाम् ।
If these planets are strong and well placed for the man or the woman, a child can be conceived.
सौरांशेऽब्जांशे वा चन्द्रः सौरान्वितोऽथवा हिबुके ।
The Moon in Saturn's or its own navamsha, or with Saturn in the 4th: no lamp at the birth.
