Chapter 9 · Lost Things: Gain and Loss
नष्टलाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
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 ।
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.
वयांसि तेषां स्तनपानबाल्यव्रतस्थिता यौवनमध्यवृद्धाः ।
Moon is a baby, Mars a child, Mercury a student, Venus young, Jupiter middle-aged, Sun old, Saturn very old.
