Now the use of the signs that live in water and the like. In hunting, they speak of hunting in water. This is to be known in the line 'with strong planets called watery'. Fire signs and the like are used in lines like this one. 'In the 8th house, in a fire sign: fear of fire'. Then the use of caste, brahmin and the rest, and of cruel, gentle and the like. It is as Samarasimha said, in lines such as this one. 'Dwelling, age, size and caste should be known by inference from the lagna (rising sign).'
Simple meaning: Water, fire and caste signs: water signs show water hunting. A fire sign in the 8th shows fear of fire. Caste, dwelling, age and size are judged from the lagna.
यथा ममास्मिन् वर्षे केन लाभो भविष्यति इति विचारे लाभभावलग्नसमवर्णेन तत्क्रूरसौम्यादिप्रकृतिसहितेन मत्समसन्तानेन तत्समबहुजन्मकेन तत्समवर्णादिकवस्तुलाभो वाच्यः ॥ इति राशिस्वरूपप्रयोजनम् ॥
Who brings gain this year: look at the 11th house sign. Gain comes through a person and things matching that sign.
अथ ग्रहस्वरूपमुक्तं च यादवेन ॥
The nine planets: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. They give results by their nature.
वामनोपि ।
Seven planets and Rahu: the seven give good and bad results. Rahu is added for the muntha result.
