लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
परस्परं सौरिकुजौ रवीन्दू त्रिकोणगौ भार्गवलोहितौ च ।फलं यदुक्तं तदशेषमेव विनाश्य पश्चात्स्वदिशं नयेताम् ॥ ३९ ॥
Take Saturn and Mars, the Sun and the Moon, or Venus and Mars. A pair may stand in the 5th and 9th from each other. Then they wipe out all the result told before. After that they take the traveller to their own direction.
Simple meaning: Some pairs of planets in the 5th and 9th from each other spoil the result and lead the traveller away.
ताराग्रहश्चेत्क्षितिजात्त्रिकोणे सूर्यादपि स्याद्यदि वा शशांकः ।
A strong planet in these places forces the traveller to its own direction.
दृष्टाऽदृष्टफलाप्त्यै शास्त्रं हृदये निधाय मिहिरस्य ।
Keep Mihira's book in mind, look at the question chart, and then answer.
यदुपचितमन्यजन्मनि शुभाऽशुभं तस्य कर्मणः पंक्तिम् ।
This book shows past good and bad deeds, as a lamp shows things in the dark.
