Chapter 5 · The Enemy's Coming and Going
शत्रुगमागमाध्यायः
चतुर्थगैरलिमीनकर्कटैः पराजयो भवति शुभैर्विलोकनात् ।चतुष्पदैः पुनरिह तुर्यवर्तिभिः पलायते नियतमरातिरागतः ॥ २ ॥
The 4th house may be Scorpio, Pisces or Cancer, and good planets may look at it. Then there is defeat for the enemy. And if a four-footed sign is in the 4th house, the enemy who has come surely runs away.
Simple meaning: 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.
शीतगौ द्वितनुराशिसंस्थते लग्नतामुपगतो यदि स्थिरः ।
Moon dual, fixed sign rising: the enemy comes and goes back. Good planets in the 6th: he may fall.
