Chapter 15 · Thoughts on the Rising Sign: War and Travel
लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
यदुदयति फलं प्रदिष्टं जनयति तस्य नवांशको विलग्ने ।शुभभवननवांशके सहायं रिपुबलभाग उपैति यातुरर्थात् ॥ २१ ॥
Take the result told for a rising sign. The same result comes when that sign's navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) rises. The navamsha may belong to a good planet's sign. Then part of the enemy's force comes over to help the one who marches.
Simple meaning: A navamsha gives the result of its sign. A good planet's navamsha brings help from the enemy's side.
शुभर्क्षे तन्नवांशे च यो याति मनुजेश्वरः ।
A king who sets out in a good sign and navamsha may get help from inside the enemy's army.
यत्प्रोक्तं राश्युदये द्वादशभागेऽपि तत्फलं वाच्यम् ।
The rules for the rising sign also fit its twelfth part. The navamsha rules fit its thirtieth part.
उदयमुदयपं वा जन्मपं जन्मभं वा तदुपचयगृहं वा वीक्ष्य लग्ने यियासोः ।
If the marcher's own birth signs or their lords rise at the question, the enemy may be beaten.
