Chapter 15 · Thoughts on the Rising Sign: War and Travel
लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
सेनाछिद्रं तस्मात्सेनानेता भवेच्चतुर्विंशे ।सेनारोग्यं सैन्यं चतुःपटंच क्रमात्रितये ॥ १६ ॥
Next comes the army's weak point. The 24th stands for the army's leader. The next three, in order, stand for the army's health, the soldiers and chatuhpata. (Our text is unclear here: what chatuhpata, the 27th matter, means.)
Simple meaning: The next thirds show the army's weak point, its leader, its health and its soldiers.
कार्यं कोशः फलसिद्धयस्त्रये भूभुजस्त्रये परतः ।
The last thirds show work, treasury, results, the king's duty and money, warriors, worship and the journey's end.
इत्युदयाद्या भावाद्रेष्काणैर्ये मयाऽऽदिष्टाः ।
Good or bad planets joining or looking at these thirds give good or bad results.
नवमांशे तिग्मांशोर्वाहननाशो विलग्नसम्प्राप्ते ।
Rising in the Sun's navamsha, a vehicle may be lost. In the Moon's, the return home is hard.
