Chapter 15 · Thoughts on the Rising Sign: War and Travel
लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
शुभर्क्षे तन्नवांशे च यो याति मनुजेश्वरः ।शत्रुबलान्नेता साहाय्यमुपगच्छति ॥ २२ ॥
A king may set out when the rising sign belongs to a good planet. Its navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) may also belong to one. Then a leader from the enemy's army may come to help him. (Our text is unclear here: the second line is short and a word seems lost.)
Simple meaning: 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.
शत्रोर्होरा राशिस्तदधिपतिर्जन्मभं तदीशो वा ।
If the enemy's rising sign, birth sign or their lords sit in the 7th or 4th, he may fall.
