प्रकीर्णाध्यायः
तस्मिन्पापयुते व्रणः शुभयुते दृष्टे च लक्ष्मादिशेत्स्वर्क्षांशस्थिरसंयुते च सहजः स्यादन्यथाऽऽगंतुकः ।मन्देऽश्मानिलजोऽग्निशस्त्रविषजो भौमे बुधे भूभवः सूर्ये काष्ठचतुष्पदेन हिमगौ शृङ्गाब्जजोऽन्यैः शुभः ॥ १५ ॥
If bad planets are with that house, there is a wound there. If good planets are with it and look at it, tell of a mark. The planet may be in its own sign, its own navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) or a fixed sign. Then the mark is from birth. Otherwise it comes later. Saturn: a cause from stone or wind. Mars: fire, a weapon or poison. Mercury: the earth. Sun: wood or a four-legged animal. Moon: a horn or a water creature. With the other planets, the mark is a good one.
Simple meaning: Bad planets on a house may show a wound there; good planets show a mark. The planet tells the cause.
समनुपतिता यस्मिन्भागे त्रयः सबुधा ग्रहा भवति नियमात्तस्यावाप्तिः शुभेष्वशुभेषु वा ।
Three planets with Mercury mark a body part. A bad planet in the 6th may cause a wound there.
क्रियः शिरोवक्रगमी वृषोऽन्यः पादांसकौ पृष्ठमुरोऽथपार्श्वे ।
From Aries to Pisces, the signs stand for an animal's body, from the head to the tail.
शंकुच्छायांगुलितो ज्ञात्वा तत्काललग्नलिप्तास्तु ।
Measure the pole's shadow, find the rising sign's minutes, multiply them by the shadow, then divide by seven.
