प्रवासचिन्ताध्यायः
लग्नतः सहजपुत्रवित्तगा दूरगागमनशंसिनो ग्रहाः ।नष्टलम्भनकराः शुभग्रहाः शीघ्रमागमकरौ तु मन्त्रिणौ ॥ १ ॥
Planets in the 3rd, 5th and 2nd houses from the rising sign show that the person far away will come. Good planets help get back what was lost. The two ministers, Jupiter and Venus, bring a quick return.
Simple meaning: Planets in the 2nd, 3rd or 5th house show the absent person will come. Jupiter and Venus bring quick return.
बृहस्पतौ केंद्रगते तु कश्चन ग्रहो भवेत् षष्ठगतोऽथ सप्तमः ।
Jupiter in a corner and a planet in the 6th or 7th, or Mercury or Venus in luck houses: return.
अष्टमे शशिनि पापवर्जिते कंटके सुखमुपैति चाध्वगः ।
Good planets in corner houses, and no bad planets there, bring the traveller home safely with gain.
पृष्ठे लग्ने पापदृष्टे वधो वा बन्धो वा स्यात्सौम्यदृष्टे तु न स्यात् ।
Bad planets looking at a back-first rising sign risk death or prison. Good planets looking at it prevent this.
