Daivajna Vallabha · Chapter 3
लाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
This short chapter is a prashna for financial gain. It names the houses where good planets bring gain and where bad ones give bad results.
Some placings also give a post or place, or honour and wealth. The last verse reads the rising sign for a place gained. Fixed, moving and dual signs each give a different answer.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
लाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
लाभास्तपंचसहजेषु शुभग्रहाः स्युर्लाभप्रदा ददति नेष्टफलानि पापाः ।स्थानं शुभा दशमसप्तमगाश्च दद्युर्मानार्थदा द्वितीयपंचमलग्नगाश्च ॥ १ ॥
Good planets in the 11th, 7th, 5th and 3rd houses bring gain. Bad planets there give bad results. Good planets in the 10th and 7th houses give a post or place. Good planets in the 2nd, 5th and 1st houses give honour and wealth.
Simple meaning: Good planets in the 11th, 7th, 5th and 3rd houses bring gain. Bad planets there bring bad results.
लाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
चन्द्रं सप्तदशद्विषष्ठसहजायस्थानसंस्थं शुभः पश्येद्वै प्रमदाकृतं शुभफलं लाभादिकं स्यात्तदा ।लग्नाष्टत्रिनवात्मजेषु च भयं कायार्थनाशोऽशुभैरेतेष्वेव गताः शुभास्तु शुभदा मानार्थसम्पत्तये ॥ २ ॥
A good planet may look at the Moon in the 7th, 10th, 2nd, 6th, 3rd or 11th house. Then good results come. Gain and the like may come through a woman. With bad planets in the 1st, 8th, 3rd, 9th or 5th house, there is a risk of fear. Body and wealth may suffer. Good planets in these same houses give honour and wealth. (Our text is unclear here: the bad planets may be in these houses, or may look at the Moon there.)
Simple meaning: A good planet looking at the Moon brings gain. Bad planets in some houses may bring fear and loss.
लाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
त्रिकोणकेन्द्रालयगाः शुभग्रहास्तथाऽशुभाश्च त्र्यरिलाभगा यदि ।भवन्ति लाभाय तदाऽऽशु पृच्छतां विपर्ययस्थास्तु न लाभदा अमी ॥ ३ ॥
Good planets may stand in the luck houses and the corner houses. Bad planets may stand in the 3rd, 6th and 11th. Then the askers will soon gain. If they stand the other way round, they do not bring gain.
Simple meaning: Good planets in corner and luck houses, and bad ones in the 3rd, 6th, 11th, bring quick gain.
लाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
चन्द्रश्चतुर्थे यदि सप्तमे शुभो विलग्नगो वा दशमे विवस्वान् ।सद्योऽर्थलाभो मनुजस्य वाच्यस्तदेति सत्यो बलिरेवमाह ॥ ४ ॥
The Moon may be in the 4th house. Or a good planet may be in the 7th or the 1st house. Or the Sun may be in the 10th house. Then the astrologer should say the man will soon gain wealth. So say Satya and Bali.
Simple meaning: Moon in the 4th, a good planet in the 7th or 1st, or Sun in the 10th: quick gain.
लाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
वृषहर्य्यालिघटैः स्थानप्राप्तिं वदेन्न चरराशौ ।द्वितनौ लग्नोपगते चरस्थिरोक्तं फलं दलतः ॥ ५ ॥
With Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius rising, the astrologer may say a place will be gained. He should not say so for a moving sign. If a dual sign is rising, the result is mixed: half as told for a fixed sign, half as for a moving sign.
Simple meaning: A fixed sign rising shows a place gained, a moving sign does not. A dual sign gives half of each.
Verse 3.1 names the 11th, 7th, 5th and 3rd houses for good planets.
Verse 3.1 says good planets in the 10th and 7th houses give a post or place.
Verse 3.5 says a fixed rising sign may show a place gained, a moving sign does not, and a dual sign gives a mixed result.
