Chapter 9 · Lost Things: Gain and Loss
नष्टलाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
लग्ने प्रजाते द्वितनौ हृतं स्वं गृहाद्बहिर्निर्गमितं विचिन्त्यम् ।हर्ता सवीर्य्यास्तगखेटतुल्यो नौजे नृदृष्टे दयिताऽन्यथातः ॥ ३ ॥
If a dual sign is rising, think that the stolen thing was taken out of the house. The thief is like the strongest planet in the 7th house. If that planet is in an odd sign and a male planet looks at it, the thief is a man. Otherwise the thief is a woman.
Simple meaning: 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.
रवीन्दुयुक्ते शनिभौमदृष्टे सिंहोदयेऽन्धः किल तस्करः स्यात् ।
Leo rising with Sun and Moon, seen by Saturn and Mars: the thief may be blind.
