Chapter 9 · Lost Things: Gain and Loss
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 ।
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 ।
Dual rising sign: the thing was taken out of the house. The strong planet in the 7th shows the thief.
लग्नांशकादपहृतद्रविणस्य जातिर्द्रेष्काणतस्तदपहर्तृजनस्वरूपम् ।
The navamsha shows the kind of thing. The dreshkana shows the thief's looks. The rising sign shows direction and time.
