In the full Deva Keralam this is Venkatesa 5518.
Say Jupiter is in the 3rd or 11th house, in its own sign and strong. Say the lagna (rising sign) lord is in the 11th house. This is called Kurma yoga (planet combination).
Simple meaning: Strong Jupiter in the 3rd or 11th, with the lagna lord in the 11th, gives Kurma yoga.
चरलग्ने तदीशे तु स्थिरराशिस्थिरांशगे ।
A movable lagna whose lord sits fixed, joined by Jupiter and Venus, also gives Kurma yoga.
विख्यातकीर्तिर्भुवि राजपूज्यो धर्मे रतः सत्त्वगुणप्रधानः ।
Kurma yoga makes a person famous, honoured, happy and good.
गुरोः षष्ठाष्टमे पापे शुक्रे राहुसमन्विते ।
A bad planet 6th or 8th from Jupiter, and Venus with Rahu in the 8th from the Moon, break the combination.
