Chapter 5 · The Enemy's Coming and Going
शत्रुगमागमाध्यायः
पापै रिपुस्थैर्यदि वा सुतस्थैर्निवर्तते वर्त्मत एव शत्रुः ।चतुर्थगैरन्तिकसंगतोऽपि पराङ्मुखो गच्छति भग्नसैन्यः ॥ १ ॥
If bad planets are in the 6th or 5th house, the enemy turns back on the road itself. If bad planets are in the 4th house, he may come near. But then he tends to turn and go away, his army broken.
Simple meaning: Bad planets in the 6th or 5th house: the enemy turns back. In the 4th: he comes near, then leaves.
चतुर्थगैरलिमीनकर्कटैः पराजयो भवति शुभैर्विलोकनात् ।
Scorpio, Pisces or Cancer in the 4th, seen by good planets: the enemy may lose. Four-footed sign there: he flees.
चरोदये भवति यदा शुभग्रहस्तदा भृशं जनयति यायिनां शुभम् ।
A good planet in a moving rising sign helps the attacking side. A bad planet there harms it.
स्थिरे शशांके चरराशिलग्ने नवांशके वाऽस्यरिपुस्तदैति ।
Moon in a fixed sign, moving rising sign: the enemy comes. Moon moving, rising sign fixed: he goes.
