दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अथग्रहाणां दृगध्यायो निरूप्यते ॥
Now the chapter on the drishti (a planet's look) of the planets is explained.
Simple meaning: Chapter opening: the looks of the planets are explained.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
तत्र दृष्टिप्रयोजनमुक्तं ताजिकालंकारे ॥नभश्चराणां न प्रोक्तं यावद्वीक्षणलक्षणम् ॥तावन्न शक्यते वक्तुं फलं वर्षे शुभाशुभमिति ॥
The use of drishti (a planet's look) is told in the Tajikalankara. The mark of the look of the planets must be told first. Until then, the good or bad result in the year cannot be told.
Simple meaning: Why looks come first: until the rules of the look are known, the good or bad result of the year cannot be told.
Verse 2.4 names four: open friendship, hidden friendship, hidden enmity and open enmity.
Verse 2.23 says that within twelve degrees the look gives its results as told; beyond that the results are ordinary.
Verse 2.62 says a planet in the 3rd, 5th, 9th or 11th place from another is its friend, and in the 2nd, 6th, 8th or 12th it is neutral.

योगसुधानिधावपि ॥प्राप्ते करेणाप्यखिलेर्थजाते पुरोगते भ्राम्यति दृष्टिहीनः ॥तथोपदिष्टेष्टफले विनेक्षणं वदामि दृष्ट्यानयनं ततोहमिति ॥
Also in the Yogasudhanidhi. Even when everything is in hand and lies right in front, a person without sight wanders about. In the same way, without the look, [one wanders] in the wished-for result that is taught. So I tell how the drishti (a planet's look) is worked out.
Simple meaning: Why the look must be learned: without it a person is like one who cannot see, so its working out is given.

तत्र ग्रहाणां चतुर्द्धा दृष्टिः । एका प्रत्यक्षस्नेहा समस्तलोकसमक्षं स्नेहदा ॥ द्वितीया गुप्तस्नेहा अप्रत्यक्षस्नेहकारिका अकथितमेवेष्टकार्यसंसिद्धिदा ॥ तृतीया गुप्तवैरा अप्रकाशितशत्रुभावकारिका ॥ चतुर्था प्रत्यक्षवैरा ॥
There the drishti (a planet's look) of the planets is of four kinds. The first is open friendship. It gives friendship in front of everyone. The second is hidden friendship. It brings friendship that is not shown. It gives success in the wished work, even without being told. The third is hidden enmity. It brings enmity that is not shown. The fourth is open enmity.
Simple meaning: Four looks: open friendship, hidden friendship, hidden enmity and open enmity.

Samarasimha tells the mark and the measure of these [looks]. The drishti (a planet's look) from the 9th and 5th, 9 and 5, is less than the full look by a quarter, 45. It is strong. This is the melapaka (union) look. It is also the open friendship look.

दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
तृतीयैकादशे पाद १५ दलं व्योमचतुर्थयोः ॥३० त्रिकोणे त्र्यंघ्रि ४५ मूर्तिस्थे पूर्णं पश्यंति खेचरा इति ॥
From the 3rd and 11th, a quarter, 15. From the 10th and 4th, a half, 30. From the trikona (luck house), three quarters, 45. When [the planet] stands in the 'body' (the 1st place), the planets look in full.

अत्र वामनेन तृतीये त्र्यंशोना ४० एकादशे षड्भाः १० गमिता चतुर्थदशमे पादमिता १५ दृष्टिरुक्ता ॥ तत्र मूलभूतस्य समरसिंहस्य विरुद्धाद्वानेकताजिकग्रंथादौ मूलंमृग्यमिति ॥
Here Vamana gives the look for the 3rd as less by a third, 40. For the 11th he gives a sixth part, 10. For the 4th and 10th he gives a quarter, 15. This goes against Samarasimha, who is the root source. So the root [of it] should perhaps be looked for in many Tajika books and the like.
Simple meaning: Vamana's look values: they go against Samarasimha, so their root should be looked for in other Tajika books.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
ताजिकसारेपि ।पादं त्रिरुद्रे स्वदलंखतुर्ये पादत्रयं स्यान्नवपञ्चमेपि ॥पश्यन्ति पूर्णं समसप्तके च ग्रहा न चान्यत्रविलोकयन्तीति ॥
In the Tajikasara also: From the 3rd and 11th, a quarter. From the 10th and 4th, its own half. From the 9th and 5th too, three quarters. The planets look in full at the mutual 7th. They do not look anywhere else.

अनयोर्वाक्ययोर्व्यवस्था । यौग्रहावेकस्थानगतौ उच्चस्वगृहगतौ वक्ष्यमाणमैत्रीचक्रेण प्रकारान्तरेण वा मित्रगृहगौ १० वा स्याताम् ॥ तदा तयोर्दृष्टिश्शुभफलदात्री ॥ यदा तु समशत्रुनीचक्षेत्रादिगौ स्यातां तदा तयोर्दृष्टिरशुभेति ॥
The way to settle these two statements is this. Take two planets standing in the same place. Say both are in uchcha (high point) or in their own house. Or say both are in a friend's house, by the maitri chakra (friendship wheel) to be told or by another method. Then the drishti (a planet's look) of the two gives good results. But say they are in a neutral, enemy or nicha (low point) sign and so on. Then their look is bad.
Simple meaning: Settling the two views: the same-sign look is good if both planets are strong or in friendly signs, bad otherwise.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
मुकारिणा स्यादेकर्क्षे सप्तभे स्यान्मुकाविला॥तरवीदिक् चतुर्थे तु तिस्रः प्रोक्ता भयप्रदाः ॥
Next, the drishti (a planet's look) marked with Yavana (foreign teachers) names. In the same sign it is mukarina. In the 7th sign it is mukavila. In the 4th it is taravidik. These three are said to be fearful.

Next: the looker and the one looked at may be in different signs. Even so, if they stand within twelve degrees of each other, the drishti (a planet's look) gives results as told. If the twelve degrees are passed, the looks give ordinary results. So Samarasimha has said.
Simple meaning: Full results of a look come only within twelve degrees; beyond that the results are ordinary.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
सर्वाश्चैता हि दृशो १२ द्वादशभागांतरे भवेयुश्चेत् ॥तत्सविशेषा ज्ञेया दृष्ट्यनुसारात्फलं सर्वमिति ॥
If all these drishti (a planet's looks) fall within a gap of twelve degrees, 12, they are to be known as special. The whole result follows according to the look.

दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
वामनोपि ॥दृष्टिस्थानेषु सर्वेषु द्वादशांशांतरे स्थितः ॥शीघ्रग्रहाद्ग्रहो मन्दः शुभा सा दृष्टिरुच्यत इति ॥
Vamana also. In all the places of drishti (a planet's look), a slow planet may stand within twelve degrees of a fast planet. That look is called good.
Simple meaning: Slow and fast planet: a slow planet within twelve degrees of a fast one makes a good look.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः

Here the Tajikaratnamala says that the result of drishti (a planet's look) of the planets is full within their deepta degrees (the planet's orb of light). Say the planets stand within their deepta degrees and are in the look-places. Then they give the full result of the look, as told.
Simple meaning: Full result of a look comes when the planets are within their deepta degrees.

विशेषो मुक्तावल्यां॥शीघ्रखेचरपुरः स्थिरगामी तस्य दृग् निगदिता विफला सा॥अन्यथा भवति भाविफलाढ्यै वर्तमानफलदा समगत्येति॥
A special point in the Muktavali. A slow-moving planet may stand in front of a fast planet. Its drishti (a planet's look) is then said to be fruitless. Otherwise, [it is] rich in results to come. With equal speed it gives results of the present.
Simple meaning: A slow planet in front of a fast one gives a fruitless look; otherwise the look gives future results, or present ones at equal speed.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अन्यो विशेषस्ताजिकसारे॥क्रूरग्रहाश्चेत्खलदृष्टिसंस्थाः पापेतराः सौम्यदृशिस्थिताश्च॥यच्छंति ते दृष्टिफलं यथोक्तं फलं तदर्द्धं च विलोमसंस्था इति॥
Another special point in the Tajikasara. Papa (bad planets) may stand in a bad drishti (a planet's look). Planets other than the bad ones may stand in a good look. Then they give the result of the look as told. Those standing the other way round give half that result.
Simple meaning: Bad planets in a bad look and good planets in a good look give the full result; the other way round, half.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
यदा तु क्रूराः सौम्यदृष्टिविषये सौम्याः क्रूरदृष्टिविषये तदार्द्धफलदातारः स्युः॥क्रूरसौम्ययोर्योगे चरणत्रयं फलं ज्ञेयं॥
But take papa (bad planets) in the field of a good drishti (a planet's look). Take shubha (good planets) in the field of a bad look. They give half the result. When bad and good planets are joined, three quarters of the result is to be known.
Simple meaning: Bad and good planets in the wrong kind of look give half the result; joined together, three quarters.

यदाह वामनःदुष्टदृष्टिस्थिताः क्रूराः सौम्याः सौम्यदृगाश्रिताः॥दृष्ट्युद्भवं फलं पूर्णं नृणां यच्छंति खेचराः॥
As Vamana says. Papa (bad planets) stand in a bad drishti (a planet's look). Shubha (good planets) rest in a good look. Then the planets give people the full result that is born of the look.
Simple meaning: Bad planets in a bad look and good planets in a good look give the full result of the look.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
व्यत्ययस्थाः फलस्यार्द्धं यच्छंति ग्रहदृष्टिजम्॥पादोनं सौम्यपापैश्च फलं ज्ञेयं विचक्षणैरिति॥
Those standing the other way round give half the result that the drishti (a planet's look) brings. The result from shubha (good planets) and papa (bad planets) [together] is to be known by the wise as less by a quarter.
Simple meaning: Reversed placing gives half the result; good and bad planets together give three quarters.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
विशेषांतरमाह समरसिंहः ॥चक्रस्य वामदृष्टेर्दक्षिणदृष्टिर्बलीयसी ज्ञेयेति ॥
Samarasimha tells another special point. In the chart, the right drishti (a planet's look) is to be known as stronger than the left look.
Simple meaning: Right look is stronger than the left look (Samarasimha).
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अत्र चक्रस्य वामदक्षिणलक्षणमुक्तं हिल्लाजेन ॥द्यूनाच्चराशिषट्कं बाह्याख्यं चांतरं लग्नात् ॥बाह्याभ्यंतरयोरपि संज्ञोक्ता वामदक्षिणाख्या तु ॥
Here the marks of left and right in the chart are told by Hillaja. From the dyuna (old name for the 7th house), the group of six signs is called the outer. The inner is from the lagna (rising sign). The names left and right are told for the outer and the inner.
Simple meaning: Outer six signs from the 7th are one half, inner six from the lagna the other half; they are called left and right.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
वामनोपि ॥चक्राद्यानांदले दृष्टिर्ग्रहाणां वामदक्षिणा ॥ज्ञेया ताभ्यां बले प्रौढा वामदृष्टैस्तु दक्षिणेति ॥
Vamana also: The drishti (a planet's look) of the planets in the half of the chakradyanam ... is left and right. Of the two, in strength, the right is to be known as stronger than the left looks. (Our text is unclear here: the word 'chakradyanam' before 'half' in the first line.)
Simple meaning: Left and right looks: Vamana calls the right look the stronger.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अयमर्थः ॥ लग्नस्थग्रहस्य भोग्यभागादारभ्य सप्तमभुक्तभागपर्यन्तं यावद्दृष्टिः सा दक्षिणा । एवं सप्तमाच्च लग्नं यावद्वामदृष्टिस्सा दक्षिणदृष्ट्यऽपेक्षया सबला ज्ञेयेति ॥
This is the meaning. Take a planet in the lagna (rising sign). Its drishti (a planet's look) runs from the degrees still to travel in the lagna. It ends at the degrees already travelled in the 7th. This is the right look. In the same way, the look from the 7th up to the lagna is the left look. It is to be known as stronger than the right look.
Simple meaning: Right look: from the planet's place to the 7th. Left look: from the 7th round to the lagna, said to be stronger.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
उदाहरणमाह समरसिंहः॥भूकेन्द्रोपरि दृष्टिर्मध्यात्सबलेतिसर्वत्रेति॥
Samarasimha gives an example: The drishti (a planet's look) on the earth's kendra (corner house) is stronger than [the look on] the middle. It is so everywhere.
Simple meaning: Left look example: the look on the 4th, the earth's corner, is stronger than the look on the 10th, the middle.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अस्यार्थः दशमदृष्टेस्सकाशाद्भकेन्द्रोपरि या दृष्टिस्सा सबला एवं सर्वत्र ज्ञेयम्॥
Its meaning: the drishti (a planet's look) that falls on the kendra (corner house) sign is stronger than the look on the 10th. This is to be known in the same way everywhere.
Simple meaning: Meaning: the look on the 4th, a corner sign, is stronger than the look on the 10th.
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
यथा सप्तमस्थग्रहस्य लग्नाद्दशमे चतुर्थे च पादमिता दृष्टिरस्ति ॥ परन्तु चतुर्थदृष्टिर्वामदृष्टित्वाद्दशमदक्षिणदृष्ट्यपेक्षया इत्थशालादियोगेष्वन्ययोगेष्वपि वासबलाज्ञेयेति ॥
For example, take a planet in the 7th. It has a quarter drishti (a planet's look), 15, on the 10th and the 4th from the lagna (rising sign). But the look on the 4th is a left look. So it is to be known as stronger than the right look on the 10th. This holds in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) and the other combinations. It holds in other combinations too.
Simple meaning: Left look example: a planet in the 7th looks at the 4th and 10th with 15; the 4th is the left look and stronger.

Next, here is an easy way made by me. The drishti (a planet's look) is told from what is left of the planet looked at, made less by the look. When one is left, without the sign, the look is said to be half the degrees.
Simple meaning: Easy rule: when the count is 1, the look is half the degrees.

For 4: arrived at being the degrees still to travel. For 5: twice the degrees gone. For 6: twice the degrees still to travel. For 7: the degrees gone, with their own half (?). For 8: the signs and so on, the sign cleared, turned into degrees, 'dvidate' (?). For 9: like the 8th, 000. For 10: like the 8th, 000. For 11: twice the degrees gone. For 12: twice the degrees still to travel. (Our text is unclear here: cells 7 and 8 carry their own question marks.)
Simple meaning: Table of the easy rule: counts 1 to 12 use half the degrees, the degrees gone or still to travel, doubled or with their half added.

For 2 signs: half the degrees, joined with 15. When 3 are left: half the degrees, joined with 30. In the 4th: joined with its own half ...
Simple meaning: Easy rule: 2 signs, half the degrees plus 15; 3 signs, half plus 30; 4, joined with its own half.

... the degrees still to travel. In the 5th, the degrees gone, doubled, are called the drishti (a planet's look). In the 6th, the degrees still to travel, doubled. In the 7th, the degrees gone, joined with their own half, would be the look. It is in minutes and so on, as the Tajikas tell.
Simple meaning: Easy rule: 4th, degrees still to travel plus half; 5th, degrees gone doubled; 6th, degrees to travel doubled; 7th, degrees gone plus half.

When the signs and so on are beyond the 8th, take them away from 'bhava' signs (11). Turn the rest into degrees. Multiplied by two, it becomes the drishti (a planet's look).
Simple meaning: Easy rule for the 8th: take the signs from 11 signs, turn the rest into degrees and double it.

In the 9th and 10th, it is the same. In the sign 'Shiva' (11), the degrees gone are doubled. In the 'zero' sign, the degrees still to travel are doubled. That is called the drishti (a planet's look).
Simple meaning: Easy rule: 9 and 10 are as for 8; 11 doubles the degrees gone; the zero sign doubles those still to travel.

अथास्मिन्दृष्टिगणिते स्थानदृष्टिंविनापि ग्रहाणां दृष्टिरायाति तद्यथा ॥ दृश्यो भौमः ५।१५ द्रष्टा चन्द्रः ०।१५ अत्रोभयोर्यद्यपि षष्ठाष्टमस्थानदृष्टिर्नास्ति तथापि पूर्वोक्तगणितेनागता दृष्टिकलाः २०
Now, in this working of the drishti (a planet's look), a look can come to planets even without a look by place. This is how. The planet seen is Mars, 5 signs 15 degrees. The looker is the Moon, 0 signs 15 degrees. Between the two there is no look by place from the 6th or the 8th. Even so, the working told before gives 20 minutes of look.
Simple meaning: Example: Mars at 5 signs 15 and Moon at 0 signs 15 have no house look, yet the working gives 20 minutes.

There is a doubt in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) and the other combinations to be told. It also arises in judging the year lord. It arises too in the study of the bhava (house). There the verse says a house grows when its own lord and a good planet look at it. It grows when they join it too. And so on. Is the look of place the proof, or the look brought by working? To remove this doubt, the working of the drishti (a planet's look) is told in the Muktavali, so that the two agree.
Simple meaning: Doubt: house look or computed look? The Muktavali gives a working in which both agree.

This table lists the remainders, the multipliers, the divisors and the base minutes for the Muktavali working of the look. Row 1, 'dishtavarjitadrishah' (as our text has it): 10, 2, 3, 9, 4, 8, 0, 6, 2. Row 2, 'remainder parts, graha-anka': 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 2, 2, 4, then '1:'. Row 3, 'divisors': 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 3, then '3:'. Row 4, 'pavakala (?)': 15, 15, 30, 30, 45, 45, 60, 60, 40. (Our text is unclear here: the meaning of the labels 'dishtavarjitadrishah' and 'pavakala'.)
Simple meaning: Muktavali look table: for each count of signs, a multiplier, a divisor and a base value in minutes.

The planet looked at, less the looker, may equal 10 or 2 signs. Then take the degrees and so on below, divide by 2, and take it from 15. For 3 and 9, take it from 30. For 8 and 4, multiply by 3, divide by 2, and take it away from 45.
Simple meaning: Muktavali working: for 10 or 2 signs apart, half the degrees from 15; for 3 or 9, the degrees from 30; for 8 or 4, one and a half times the degrees from 45.

When the signs are 'kha-tarka', 0 or 6 (60 in our text), double [the degrees] and take it from 60. That is the drishti (a planet's look) here. For 2 and 10, multiply by 4 and by 1 ('shruti-indu'), and take a third. Take it from 40 ('kha-abdhi') and from 10 ('rake'). This is from the teaching of Smarasimha.
Simple meaning: Muktavali working, continued: for 0 or 6 signs apart, twice the degrees from 60. For 2 and 10 there is also Samarasimha's way, from 40 and 10.

Here the working of the drishti (a planet's look) is told only for the look-places, beginning with the 3rd and 11th. It is not told for the other places. Even there, the told look begins at the start of a sign. It comes to an end at the end of the sign. So the look by place and the look by working agree, and so on. This is just as the astrologer has told. [Now] we examine the working of the look, with reasons.
Simple meaning: Muktavali working: only for the look-places; a look begins at a sign's start and ends at its end, so both kinds of look agree.

Now the way to find the drik-khechara (the point of the planet's look) is told in the Tajikalankara. Add the Lanka risings from Capricorn onward, up to the rising of the sign the planet stands in. Divide the total by 'khashashi' (20). The result, with degrees and so on, joined with nine signs, is the drik-khechara. In the same way, for the planet wanted, add the risings of one's own place from Aries. Then the wise should again work out the planet the same way, degrees first.
Simple meaning: Finding the look point: add the risings of the signs, divide, add nine signs, then work it again with one's own risings.

Whatever is half the degrees of the two, that becomes the true look-planet (drishti-graha). Then, if the degrees equal that measure, that drishti (a planet's look) is called true. Then the good or bad result born of the look is to be known as full. This is the view of some wise ones. I have told it about the look of the planets.
Simple meaning: True look: half the degrees of the two gives the look-planet; when the degrees match it, the look is true and gives its full result.

In the same way, take a yoga's work. Say the degrees and parts of the two are equal to the deepta degrees (the planet's orb of light). Then the planet gives here the wished result that arises from the yoga. This is if [that result] rests outside, as will be told.
Simple meaning: For combinations: when the two planets are within the orb of light, the planet gives the result the yoga was meant for.

Now, in the working of the drishti (a planet's look), another special point is told by Mishra. Take the degrees of the planet looked at, less the looker. If they are more than 18, take them away from 30. Then take these away from 12. Or else take them away from the planet's own deepta degrees (the planet's orb of light).
Simple meaning: Mishra's rule: from the degrees of the difference, if over 18, subtract from 30, then from 12 or from the planet's own orb.

If they cannot be taken away, then there is no drishti (a planet's look). Multiply the minutes of the look as told by that [remainder]. Divide by 12, or by the deepta degrees (the planet's orb of light), as the case is. These become the true minutes of the look.
Simple meaning: Mishra's rule continued: if it cannot be subtracted, no look; else multiply the minutes by the remainder and divide by 12 or by the orb.

Vamana states what the drishti (a planet's look) is for. The planets give their results by themselves, in proportion to their drishti. Know that result by the measure of strength. Then tell it as good or bad.
Simple meaning: Use of a planet's look: planets give results in step with the look, and strength decides how much, good or bad.
