Chapter 7 · Victory and Defeat
जयपराजयाध्यायः
कुजबुधशनिभिः स्मरस्थितैर्भवति रिपूनथ गच्छतो वधः ।उदयगृहगयोः सितारयोरपि च रिपूपचयः क्षुधामृति ॥ २० ॥
Mars, Mercury and Saturn are in the 7th house. For one who goes against his enemies, there is a risk that he is killed. Venus and Mars are in the rising sign. Then the enemies grow in strength, and there is a risk of death from hunger.
Simple meaning: Mars, Mercury and Saturn in the 7th house put an attacker at risk of being killed.
विज्ञेयाः क्षितिसुतमन्दयोर्विलग्ने षष्ठर्क्षे बुधसितयोरिहाष्टमर्क्षे ।
Bad planets so placed may bring the death of the enemy's ministers.
विलग्नात्मजस्थानसंस्थैरवश्यं वधं प्रष्ट्रपुत्रस्य जानीहि पापैः ।
Bad planets in the 1st and 5th put the asker's son at risk. Moon and Mars there show defeat.
द्यूननैधनगते सितद्युतौ लग्नगामिनि च तीक्ष्णदीधितौ ।
Moon in the 7th or 8th with the Sun rising, or the reverse, risks fear and defeat in battle.
