Chapter 5 · The Enemy's Coming and Going
शत्रुगमागमाध्यायः
यावत्संख्यं भवति रजनीनाथगेहं विलग्नान्नैकोऽपिस्यान्नियतमनयोर्मध्यवर्ती ग्रहश्चेत् ।तावत्संख्यैरपि गतदिनैः शत्रुरागच्छतीति ज्योतिर्विद्याविपुलगणकग्रामणीरुद्गृणाति ॥ १२ ॥
Count the signs from the rising sign to the Moon's sign. If not even one planet stands between them, the enemy comes after that many days. So says the leader of the many astrologers.
Simple meaning: Count signs from the rising sign to the Moon. No planet between: the enemy comes in that many days.
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.
सुराचार्यदेवद्विषन्मन्त्रिणौ द्वौ द्वितीये तृतीये यथा वा तथा वा ।
Jupiter and Venus in the 2nd and 3rd: the enemy comes fast, unless key lords and Moon sit fixed.
