Chapter 7 · Victory and Defeat
जयपराजयाध्यायः
दशमसप्तमलग्नगताः शुभा नगरवासिनृपस्य जयप्रदाः ।शनिकुजौ नवमे भयभंगदौ विजयदा गुरुभार्गवचन्द्रजाः ॥ १ ॥
Good planets may be in the rising sign, the 7th or the 10th house. They help the king who stays in the city to win. Saturn and Mars in the 9th house may bring fear and defeat. Jupiter, Venus and Mercury there bring victory.
Simple meaning: Good planets in the 1st, 7th or 10th help the city's king. Saturn and Mars in the 9th may not.
नागराश्चक्रभागैस्तृतीयादितः प्रश्नलग्नाश्च धर्मादितो यायिनः ।
Houses 3 to 8 are the city's side, 9 to 2 the attacker's. Good planets help a side win.
मिश्रयुक्ते विमिश्रं फलं निर्दिशेत्तद्विरूपं फलं केचिदाक्षते ।
Good and bad planets together give a mixed result. Bad planets in the 10th to 12th help the attacker.
मिथुनतुलाघटकन्यामेषाणामेककोऽपि पापयुतः ।
A bad planet in Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Virgo or Aries helps the attacker. The defender may lose.
