लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
ताराग्रहश्चेत्क्षितिजात्त्रिकोणे सूर्यादपि स्याद्यदि वा शशांकः ।दिगीश्वरात्पंचमगो बली वा ग्रहः स्वकाष्ठां नयति प्रसह्य ॥ ४० ॥
A star planet may stand in the 5th or 9th from Mars. Or the Moon may stand so from the Sun. Or a strong planet may be 5th from the lord of the direction. Such a planet forces the traveller to its own direction.
Simple meaning: 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.
आदित्यदासतनयस्तदवाप्तबोधः कापित्थलः सवितृलब्धवरप्रसादः ।
Varahamihira, son of Adityadasa, studied the sages' views with care and wrote this book.
