Chapter 1 · Planets, Signs, Year Entry
ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अत्र वक्ष्यमाणभावबले सबलभावस्य फलदातृत्वं निर्बलस्य नैवेतिज्ञेयं॥
Here, by the house strength to be told later, know this. A strong house gives results. A weak one gives none at all.
Simple meaning: Strong houses give results: a weak house gives nothing.
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.
अथास्माद्ग्रहादयंग्रहःकस्मिन्स्थानेस्तीतिज्ञानार्थं यवनमतेनेतरेतरसंख्या उक्ता चिंतामणौ॥
One planet's place from another: subtract their positions. Under 15 degrees over, count that sign; 15 or more, count the next.
इति दैवज्ञवर्यपण्डितदामोदरात्मजबलभद्रविरचिते हायनरत्ने ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः प्रथमः ॥१॥
