द्वादशवर्गीचक्रे विंशोपकानयनमुक्तं योगसुधानिधौ ॥शतं कलाः १०० स्वे भवनादिके च मैत्रे तदर्द्धञ्च ५० रिपौ तदर्द्धं २५ ॥तदैक्यमभ्राङ्ग ६०हृदर्कवर्ग्यां विंशोपका वीर्य्ययुतौ भवन्तीति ॥

This view is not right: Manittha gave the twelve-varga chart in ten verses, and Nilakantha gives it too.
अथ ग्रहाणां वर्षबलं तत्र चत्वारि हर्षदानि स्थानान्युक्तानि तेजःसिंहेन ॥
Year strength: the first joy places are the 9th, 3rd, 6th, 1st, 11th, 5th and 12th for the planets from the Sun on. The second is own house and high…
