दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
सूर्यादीनान्तु खेटानां वीक्ष्या द्वादशवर्गिका॥शुभास्वमित्रसौम्योच्चनिन्द्या नीचारिपापजा॥
The twelve vargas (divisions of a sign) of the planets, the Sun and the rest, are to be looked at. Those from own sign, friend, shubha (good planet) and uchcha (high point) are good. Those from nicha (low point), enemy and papa (bad planet) are to be blamed.
Simple meaning: Look at each planet's twelve vargas. Own sign, friend, good planet and high point are good. Low point, enemy and bad planet are bad.
एवम्फलद्वयं वीक्ष्य तद्विशोध्यम्परस्परम् ॥
Subtract the good result and the bad result from each other. The rest is the twelve-varga result of the planet.
वर्गे शुभाधिके क्रूरः शुभसौम्योतिशोभनः ॥
More good in the vargas lifts a planet: bad becomes good, good becomes very fine. More bad pulls it down.
स्वगृहाद्यग्रहो दत्ते तन्वादिभावजम्फलम्॥
Twelve divisions, house results: a planet gives the results of the houses from the 1st on, counted from its own house, by its own strength.
