Chapter 9 · Lost Things: Gain and Loss
नष्टलाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
शुक्रे धने देवगुरौ व्ययस्थे मूर्तौ शुभे वा हृतलब्धिरुक्ता ।होरेन्दुयुक्तालयदिङ्मुखेषु सूर्येण लग्नाधिपराशिभूमौ ॥ १० ॥
Venus may be in the 2nd house and Jupiter in the 12th. Or a good planet may be in the rising sign. Then the asker may get the stolen thing back. If the rising sign is in the Moon's half-sign, look in the direction of the sign the Moon is in. If it is in the Sun's half-sign, look in the place of the sign that holds the rising sign's lord.
Simple meaning: Venus in the 2nd and Jupiter in the 12th, or a good planet rising: the thing may come back.
पूर्णः शशी यदि विलग्नतः शुभो वा शीर्षोदये यदि पुनः शुभदृष्टिदृष्टः ।
A full Moon or good planet rising, or a strong good planet in the 11th: the thing may soon return.
लग्नाद्वितीये यदि वा तृतीये शुभेन युक्ते हिबुकेऽथवा स्यात् ।
A good planet in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th, or in the 4th, 7th and 10th: the thing will return.
लग्ने सम्पूर्णतनुर्जीवेन सितेन वीक्षितश्चन्द्रः ।
Full Moon rising, seen by Jupiter and Venus, or good planets in corner or growth houses: it may return.
