Chapter 3 · Gain and Loss
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.
त्रिकोणकेन्द्रालयगाः शुभग्रहास्तथाऽशुभाश्च त्र्यरिलाभगा यदि ।
Good planets in corner and luck houses, and bad ones in the 3rd, 6th, 11th, bring quick gain.
चन्द्रश्चतुर्थे यदि सप्तमे शुभो विलग्नगो वा दशमे विवस्वान् ।
Moon in the 4th, a good planet in the 7th or 1st, or Sun in the 10th: quick gain.
वृषहर्य्यालिघटैः स्थानप्राप्तिं वदेन्न चरराशौ ।
A fixed sign rising shows a place gained, a moving sign does not. A dual sign gives half of each.
