Daivajna Vallabha · Chapter 9
नष्टलाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
This chapter is a prashna for lost things and whether they come back. The rising sign shows if the thing is still in its place or has been moved.
The signs and the planets also tell who took it. The planets give the age of the person. Good planets may bring the thing back. Bad planets may leave it lost.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
नष्टलाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
स्थिरोदये वा यदि वा स्थिरांशे वर्गोत्तमे वा यदि वा विलग्ने ।तत्रैव तच्चोरितमस्ति वस्तु स्वकेन केनापि चरे परैस्तु ॥ १ ॥
The rising sign may be a fixed sign. Or the rising degree may fall in a fixed navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). Or the rising sign may be vargottama (same sign in the chart and its navamsha). Then the stolen thing is still in that same place. Someone of the asker's own people took it. If the rising sign is a moving sign, outsiders took it.
Simple meaning: Fixed rising sign: the thing is still there, taken by someone close. Moving sign: an outsider took it.

द्विशरीरराशिलग्ने प्रतिवेशिजनेन हृतमुदाहार्यम् ।तत्रस्थं स्थिरराशौ चरराशौ तच्च सञ्चलितम् ॥ २ ॥
If the rising sign is a dual sign, say that a neighbour took it. If the rising sign is a fixed sign, the thing is still there. If it is a moving sign, the thing has been moved away.
Simple meaning: Dual rising sign: a neighbour took it. Fixed sign: the thing is still there. Moving sign: it was moved.

लग्ने प्रजाते द्वितनौ हृतं स्वं गृहाद्बहिर्निर्गमितं विचिन्त्यम् ।हर्ता सवीर्य्यास्तगखेटतुल्यो नौजे नृदृष्टे दयिताऽन्यथातः ॥ ३ ॥
If a dual sign is rising, think that the stolen thing was taken out of the house. The thief is like the strongest planet in the 7th house. If that planet is in an odd sign and a male planet looks at it, the thief is a man. Otherwise the thief is a woman.
Simple meaning: Dual rising sign: the thing was taken out of the house. The strong planet in the 7th shows the thief.

The navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of the rising sign shows what kind of thing was taken. The dreshkana (one-third part of a sign) shows what the thief looks like. The rising sign shows the direction, the place and the time. The navamsha of the rising sign also shows the thief's social group and age.
Simple meaning: The navamsha shows the kind of thing. The dreshkana shows the thief's looks. The rising sign shows direction and time.

If the first dreshkana (one-third part of a sign) is rising, the thing was taken. If the second is rising, the thing has fallen down. If the third is rising, the thing was forgotten somewhere.
