Chapter 7 · Victory and Defeat
जयपराजयाध्यायः
विज्ञेयाः क्षितिसुतमन्दयोर्विलग्ने षष्ठर्क्षे बुधसितयोरिहाष्टमर्क्षे ।तीक्ष्णांशोर्ध्रुवमिति पापिनो रिपूणां संग्रामे पटुतरमन्त्रिणो वधाय ॥ २१ ॥
Mars and Saturn are in the rising sign. Mercury and Venus are in the 6th house. The Sun is in the 8th house. These are to be known as bad yogas. They show that the enemy's very skilled ministers may be killed in battle.
Simple meaning: 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.
द्वित्रिकेन्द्रस्थितैः पापरूपैर्ग्रहैः शक्तिहानिं वहद्भिः स्वकीयांशुभिः ।
Weak bad planets and the Moon in the 8th put a king at risk in war.
