पृष्ठे लग्ने पापदृष्टे वधो वा बन्धो वा स्यात्सौम्यदृष्टे तु न स्यात् ।पापे षष्ठे केन्द्रगे वा तृतीये नष्टो भ्रष्टः स्थानतः प्रच्युतो वा ॥ ४ ॥
If the back-first rising sign is looked at by bad planets, there is a risk of death or prison. If good planets look at it, this does not happen. A bad planet may be in the 6th house, a corner house or the 3rd house. Then he may be lost, ruined or driven from his place.
Simple meaning: 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.
अशुभर्क्षगतोऽशुभैश्चदृष्टश्चतुरस्रगृहेऽथवा त्रिकोणके ।
Saturn in a bad planet's sign, looked at by bad planets, shows a strong risk travellers are held or jailed.
