Chapter 4 · Going and Coming: General Rules
सामान्यगमाऽऽगमाध्यायः
चरांशकस्थे किल काल एष स्थिरांशके तद्विगुणस्तु वाच्यः ।द्विदेहलग्नांशगते ग्रहे तु विचिन्तितस्तत्त्रिगुणो विधेयः ॥ ९ ॥
This time holds when that planet is in a navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of a moving sign. If it is in a navamsha of a fixed sign, say twice that time. If it is in a navamsha of a dual sign, take three times that time.
Simple meaning: Moving sign's navamsha: that time. Fixed: twice the time. Dual: three times the time.
चन्द्रतोऽथ् यदि वा विलग्नतो द्वादशद्वितयराशिगामिनः ।
Venus, Jupiter and Mercury in the 12th and 2nd from the Moon or rising sign: no going, no coming.
बलेन सर्वोत्तमतामुपागतो ग्रहो गृहे यावति लग्नतो भवेत् ।
The strongest planet's house number from the rising sign gives the months before the traveller returns.
यातुः पृच्छालग्नतः सप्तमस्य स्वामी यायाद्यावता वक्रभावम् ।
The traveller returns when the lord of the 7th house from the question's rising sign starts moving backward.
