Chapter 9 · Lost Things: Gain and Loss
नष्टलाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
पापविलग्नं पापे पश्यति नष्टं विनष्टमेव स्यात् ।शुभखगलग्ने तु शुभैर्दृष्टे नष्टाप्तिरेष्टव्या ॥ १६ ॥
A bad planet may be in the rising sign, with a bad planet looking at it. Then the lost thing may be lost for good. If a good planet is in the rising sign and good planets look at it, expect the lost thing back.
Simple meaning: Bad planets in and on the rising sign: the thing may stay lost. Good planets there: it may come back.
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.
लग्नात्पातालाद्वा द्वितीयस्थोऽथवा तृतीयस्थः ।
A good planet in the 2nd or 3rd from the rising sign or from the 4th: the money will return.
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.
