ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
यत्र जन्मपत्रशकुनवर्षप्रश्नादिभिर्दशाफलरूपेण प्रतिबंधकेन संतानविद्याद्यभावो निर्णीतस्तत्र ग्रहशांत्यादिरूपेण प्रयत्नेनापि संतानादिप्रतिबंधकीभूतं दृढमूलत्वान्निवारयितुं न शक्यते । यत्र तु ग्रहचारवशेन गोचरादिना संतानादिप्रतिबंधो निर्णीतस्तच्छिथिलभूतत्वेन स्वस्त्ययनादिनोत्साद्यम् ॥
Suppose a lack of children, learning and the like is settled by the birth chart or shakuna (omen from birds or animals). Or by the year chart, prashna (question chart) and so on. It shows as a block in a dasha (planet period) result. Then it cannot be removed even by effort such as shanti (peace ritual) for the planets. For the block to children and the like is firm-rooted. But suppose the block is settled by grahachara (planets' movement), by gochara (transit through a sign) and so on. Then it is loose, and it can be removed by svastyayana (a rite for well-being) and other rites.
Simple meaning: Firm and loose blocks: a block shown by the birth chart and periods stays; one shown by transits can be removed by rites.
उक्तंच स्मृतौ ॥
Smriti: weak fate is overcome by effort.
एवं शुभसूचकदशापाककाले क्रियमाणा यात्राप्यनायासेन फलसाधिका ॥ अशुभदशायां हानिदेत्यतोवश्यं ज्योतिश्शास्त्रगणनोपयोगः॥
Timing a journey: in a good period it succeeds easily; in a bad one it brings loss. So astrology is useful.
पूर्वोक्तशौनकादिवाक्यानि दृढमूलकर्मविषयकानि ।
Shaunaka's words: they are about firmly rooted deeds.
