प्रवासचिन्ताध्यायः
अष्टमे शशिनि पापवर्जिते कंटके सुखमुपैति चाध्वगः ।कण्टकस्थितशुभग्रहैः शुभं स्वं निवासमयेति लाभवान् ॥ ३ ॥
The Moon may be in the 8th house, and the corner houses free of bad planets. Then the traveller finds comfort. With good planets in the corner houses, he comes back safely to his own home, with gain.
Simple meaning: 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.
यथा तथा यदि भवतः कथंचन द्वये त्रये सुरगुरुदैत्यमंत्रिणौ ।
Jupiter and Venus placed a certain way bring travellers back. Both in the 4th house surely bring them home.
पापकैः षष्ठलाभत्रिकस्थायिभिः सौम्यकैः किंच केंद्रत्रिकोणस्थितैः ।
Bad planets in the 3rd, 6th, 11th and good planets in corner and luck houses show the traveller will return.
