दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अथात्र स्वगृहे पूर्णम्बलन्दुतष्के स्वगृहनगभागइत्युक्तेः स्वगृहात्सप्तमे राशौ ग्रहो निर्बलः अन्तरे त्रैराशिकमुच्चबलवज्ज्ञेयं तत्रार्कचंद्रयोरेकमेव स्वगृहमतोनसंदिग्धम्भौमादीनां तु स्वगृहद्वयसद्भावात् तत्सप्तमस्यापि द्वैविध्यात् ॥
Now here, the strength is full in its own sign. It is said in dutashka as printed: 'svagriha-naga-bhaga', that is, in the 7th sign from its own sign. So a planet in the 7th sign from its own sign has no strength. In between, the rule of three is to be known, as for uchcha (high point) strength. For the Sun and Moon there is only one own sign, so there is no doubt. But Mars and the others have two own signs. So their 7th also is of two kinds.
Simple meaning: Place strength: full in own sign, nil in the 7th sign from it. In between, use proportion. Sun and Moon have one own sign. Mars and the others have two.
पंचधामैत्र्यांबलविभागःएतान्यंकानि
Table: strength numbers by friendship, divided by 12. The own group gives 6, 4, 3, 2, 1. Each row below gives smaller shares, shifted one place.
कथमत्रबलानयनोपायउच्यते ॥ भौमादिषु चारवशान्निकटस्थितमेव स्वगृहं नतु दूरस्थितमिति सम्प्रदाययुक्तिरिति ॥
Place strength: for Mars and others with two own signs, use the nearer own sign.
अथ गृहं स्वगृहसप्तमाद्विशोध्य शेषं षडधिकश्चेद्द्वादशशुद्धं नोचेद्यथास्थितमेव स्थाप्यन्ततस्तस्यांशाः षड्भक्ताः कलादिबलं स्यादिति ॥
Place strength, own sign: take the planet from the 7th from its own sign. If the rest is over six signs, take it from twelve. Divide its degrees by 6.
