Chapter 9 · Lost Things: Gain and Loss
नष्टलाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
लग्नात्पातालाद्वा द्वितीयस्थोऽथवा तृतीयस्थः ।भवति शुभग्रहश्चेन्नूनं प्रश्ने नष्टं धनं लभते ॥ १५ ॥
A good planet may be in the 2nd or 3rd house from the rising sign. Or it may be in the 2nd or 3rd house from the 4th house. Then the asker will surely get back the lost money.
Simple meaning: A good planet in the 2nd or 3rd from the rising sign or from the 4th: the money will return.
लग्ने पूर्णश्चन्द्रो जीवः शुक्रो बुधोऽपि वा भवति ।
Full Moon, Jupiter, Venus or Mercury rising, or a good planet in the 7th: the stolen thing will come back.
पापविलग्नं पापे पश्यति नष्टं विनष्टमेव स्यात् ।
Bad planets in and on the rising sign: the thing may stay lost. Good planets there: it may come back.
सिंहालिकुम्भा यदि पापवीक्षिता युताः स्मरस्थाः स्वनवांशगामिनः ।
Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius in the 7th with bad planets, or strong Mars in the 8th: it may stay lost.
