ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
यथा ममास्मिन् वर्षे केन लाभो भविष्यति इति विचारे लाभभावलग्नसमवर्णेन तत्क्रूरसौम्यादिप्रकृतिसहितेन मत्समसन्तानेन तत्समबहुजन्मकेन तत्समवर्णादिकवस्तुलाभो वाच्यः ॥ इति राशिस्वरूपप्रयोजनम् ॥
For example, someone asks: 'From whom will I gain this year?' Look at the sign of the house of gains. Gain should be told through a person of the same varna (caste or colour) as that sign. He has its nature, cruel, gentle and so on. He has children like mine, and as many births as that sign. Gain of things of that same colour and so on should be told too. Thus the use of the sign natures.
Simple meaning: 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.
ग्रहस्वरूपमुक्तं त्रैलोक्यप्रकाशे ॥
Where planets move: Venus and Moon in water, Mercury and Jupiter in villages, Rahu, Mars, Saturn and the Sun in forests.
