जयपराजयाध्यायः
सूर्यसमीरणसुरगुरुशुक्रान् समरे पृष्ठतः कृत्वा ।जयति परान्केवलमपि परमफलं प्राह यवनेन्द्रः ॥ ८ ॥
In battle, a man may keep the Sun, the wind, Jupiter and Venus at his back. Then he beats his enemies, even if he stands alone. The king of the Yavanas called this the best result.
Simple meaning: Fight with the Sun, the wind, Jupiter and Venus behind you, and you can win even alone.
केन्द्रगमर्कं केन्द्री यदि शनिरुद्वीक्षिते तदा भंगः ।
Saturn in a corner looking at the Sun in a corner may bring defeat. In the 8th, death.
लग्ने रवावष्टमगे शशांके कुजार्कजाभ्यामवलोक्यमाने ।
Sun in the 1st and Moon in the 8th, seen by Mars and Saturn, show likely defeat for the asker.
जीवज्ञसूर्यभृगुजास्तनये हि लोकदुश्चिक्यलग्नभवने परिपृच्छतः स्युः ।
Jupiter, Mercury, Sun and Venus in the 5th, 4th, 3rd, 1st, the rest in the 11th: the attacker wins.
