Chapter 2 · Aspects, Strength, Results
दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
इतिसामान्यपंचवर्गीबलसाधनं॥अथ खत्तखुत्तखिंदकादिसंमतं स्थानदिक्कालनिसर्गचेष्टादृग्बलं निरूप्यते ॥
This ends the general working out of the panchavargi (five-part strength). Now the strengths of place, direction, time, nature, motion and aspect are explained, as accepted by Khattakhutta, Khindaka and others.
Simple meaning: The sixfold strength begins: place, direction, time, nature, motion and aspect. The general five-part strength is done.
उक्तंच समरसिंहेन ॥
Samarasimha: the general strength is told. Judge the result after looking at the special strength.
तत्रादौ स्थानबले सविशेषपंचवर्गीचक्रसूचनमुक्तं कुत्थयोगे समरसिंहेन ॥
Place strength: a planet is best when strong in its own sign, four-sign group, hadda, high point and musallaha. This is from Samarasimha.
एतत्स्पष्टंगणितपूर्वकमुक्तंताजिकमुक्तावल्याम्॥
Place strength figures in twelfths: the house gives 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 and a half. The high point gives 4, 3, 2 and halves. Hadda gives 3, 2 and halves.
