जयपराजयाध्यायः
अस्तगे शशिना लग्नगे रवावष्टमे कुजशनैश्चरौ यदा ।ज्ञस्तृतीयगृहगस्तदा रणे मंत्रिणा सह विहन्यते नृपः ॥ २८ ॥
The Moon is in the 7th house and the Sun is in the rising sign. Mars and Saturn are in the 8th house, and Mercury is in the 3rd. Then the king and his minister may fall in battle.
Simple meaning: Moon in the 7th, Sun in the rising sign, Mars and Saturn in the 8th: the king may fall.
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.
शीर्षोदयं शुभसुहृद्ग्रहयुक्तदृष्टं लग्नं शुभा बलयुताः शुभवर्गलग्ने ।
A head-first rising sign with strong good planets on it brings success in all things.
