प्रवासचिन्ताध्यायः
यथा तथा यदि भवतः कथंचन द्वये त्रये सुरगुरुदैत्यमंत्रिणौ ।प्रवासिनां भवति तदाऽऽगमो नृणां तुरीयगौ नियतगृहप्रवेशदौ ॥ ५ ॥
In any way at all, Jupiter and Venus may be 'in two or three'. Then people who are away will come back. If both are in the 4th house, they surely bring them back into their homes. (Our text is unclear here: what 'in two or three' means, two or three houses or a group of planets.)
Simple meaning: 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.
शुभयुक्ते स्थिरलग्ने सुस्थिरबन्धश्चरे त्वशुभयुक्ते ।
A fixed rising sign with good planets means long confinement. A moving sign with bad planets means quick release.
