Chapter 9 · Lost Things: Gain and Loss
नष्टलाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
क्रूरः षष्ठः क्रूरराशौ विलग्नाद्यस्मिन्राशौ तत्प्रदेशे व्रणोऽस्य ।एवं प्रोक्तं यन्मया जन्मकाले चिह्नं रूपं तत्तदस्मिन्विधेयम् ॥ ७ ॥
A bad planet may be in the 6th house from the rising sign, in a bad sign. Then the thief may have a wound. It is on the body part that this sign rules. Whatever I said about body marks and looks at birth should be used here too.
Simple meaning: A bad planet in the 6th, in a bad sign: the thief may have a wound there.
आद्ये हृतं निपतितं तदनु द्वितीये द्रव्यं च विस्मृतमथो यदि वा तृतीये ।
First dreshkana: taken. Second: fallen down. Third: forgotten. In turn: house front, inside, back.
ग्रहैर्दिशः केन्द्रगतैर्विचिन्त्या विलग्नराशेस्तदसम्भवे वा ।
Planets in the corner houses show the direction. If there are none, the rising sign shows it.
शुक्रे धने देवगुरौ व्ययस्थे मूर्तौ शुभे वा हृतलब्धिरुक्ता ।
Venus in the 2nd and Jupiter in the 12th, or a good planet rising: the thing may come back.
