Chapter 5 · The Enemy's Coming and Going
शत्रुगमागमाध्यायः
सुराचार्यदेवद्विषन्मन्त्रिणौ द्वौ द्वितीये तृतीये यथा वा तथा वा ।तदा क्षिप्रमायात्यरातिः स्थिरस्थैर्न लग्नेशधर्मेशकर्मेशभेशैः ॥ ११ ॥
Jupiter and Venus may both be in the 2nd and 3rd houses, in any order. Then the enemy comes quickly. It is not so if these are in fixed signs: the lords of the rising sign, 9th and 10th, and the Moon.
Simple meaning: Jupiter and Venus in the 2nd and 3rd: the enemy comes fast, unless key lords and Moon sit fixed.
सिंहाजकोदंडवृषा भवन्ति विलग्नगा वापि चतुर्थगा वा ।
Leo, Aries, Sagittarius or Taurus rising or in the 4th house: the enemy will not stay.
रवौ गुरौ वा स्थिरलग्नगामिनि स्थितो रिपुः स्वाश्रम एव निश्चलः ।
Sun or Jupiter in a fixed rising sign: the enemy stays. In a moving one: he comes soon.
यावत्संख्यं भवति रजनीनाथगेहं विलग्नान्नैकोऽपिस्यान्नियतमनयोर्मध्यवर्ती ग्रहश्चेत् ।
Count signs from the rising sign to the Moon. No planet between: the enemy comes in that many days.
