Chapter 7 · Victory and Defeat
जयपराजयाध्यायः
द्यूने महीनन्दनचन्द्रयोः स्याद् बुधोऽर्कलग्ने स्वबलस्य भेदः ।यमारयोस्तद्वदवेहि भङ्गं युद्धे बुधाहस्करयोस्तथैव ॥ २५ ॥
Mars and the Moon are in the 7th house. Mercury is in the rising sign with the Sun. Then the king's own army may split. In the same way, Saturn and Mars may be in the 7th. Mercury and the Sun may be in the rising sign. This may bring defeat in war.
Simple meaning: Mars and Moon in the 7th, with Mercury and Sun in the rising sign, may split the army.
सर्वैरमीभिर्नवमस्थितैऽतु हन्यान्नृपो मंत्रिपुरोहितादीन् ।
All these planets in the 9th may lead the king to harm his ministers. The Moon rising adds his sons.
अर्कसूर्यसुतयोश्च विलग्ने दृष्टयोश्चधरणीतनयेन ।
Sun and Saturn in the rising sign, seen by Mars, put the army chief at risk.
अस्तगे शशिना लग्नगे रवावष्टमे कुजशनैश्चरौ यदा ।
Moon in the 7th, Sun in the rising sign, Mars and Saturn in the 8th: the king may fall.
