ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अत्रान्तकरणे विशेष उक्तः पद्धतौ ।आद्यसन्धिर्ग्रहाद्भावाच्छोध्यो भावोनके ग्रहे॥भावस्थसन्धिमच्छोध्योग्रहो भावस्तथाधिके॥
A special point on the last step here is told in the Paddhati. When the planet is less than the house, take the first sandhi (junction between two houses) away from the planet and from the house. When the planet is more than the house, use the house's later sandhi. Take the planet and the house away from it likewise.
Simple meaning: Which junction to use: planet before the middle of the house, use the first junction; past it, use the later junction.
भावतस्तु फलं सर्वं जन्मवर्षव्रतादिषु ॥
House scores for all charts: birth, year, rites, journeys, questions and building.
अथ कीदृशो भावो ग्रहसंयोगेन शुभाशुभं वा फलं प्रयच्छतीत्युक्तं ताजिकतिलके॥
House with its lord, Jupiter, Mercury or Venus: joined with and seen by them, full results. With other planets, not.
अत्र वक्ष्यमाणभावबले सबलभावस्य फलदातृत्वं निर्बलस्य नैवेतिज्ञेयं॥
Strong houses give results: a weak house gives nothing.
