Chapter 9 · Lost Things: Gain and Loss
नष्टलाभाऽलाभाध्यायः
आद्ये हृतं निपतितं तदनु द्वितीये द्रव्यं च विस्मृतमथो यदि वा तृतीये ।द्रेष्काणकेषु परिकल्प्यमिदं क्रमेण वाच्यं हृतं तदपि वेश्ममुखेऽन्तरेऽन्त्ये ॥ ८ ॥
If the first dreshkana (one-third part of a sign) is rising, the thing was taken. If the second is rising, the thing has fallen down. If the third is rising, the thing was forgotten somewhere. Apply this in order to the three dreshkanas. In the same order, say the thing is at the front of the house, inside it, or at the back.
Simple meaning: 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.
पूर्णः शशी यदि विलग्नतः शुभो वा शीर्षोदये यदि पुनः शुभदृष्टिदृष्टः ।
A full Moon or good planet rising, or a strong good planet in the 11th: the thing may soon return.
