दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
एतन्नरमणीयं ॥ यतोतिप्राचीनाचार्येणमणित्थेन ॥ भौमः सितोज्ञ इत्यादिश्लोकदशकेन द्वादशवर्गीचक्रमभिहितम् ॥ अतएवसंज्ञातंत्रेश्रीमन्नीलकंठदैवज्ञैर्द्वादशवर्गीचक्रमुक्तमिति ॥ इतिद्वादशवर्गीचक्रम् ॥
This is not pleasing. For the very old teacher Manittha told the dvadashavargi (twelve-part division) chakra (wheel) in ten verses beginning 'Bhauma, Sita, Jna'. For this very reason the twelve-varga chakra is also stated in the Samjna Tantra by the revered Nilakantha, the astrologer. Here ends the twelve-varga chakra.
Simple meaning: 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…
अथ दिने नृखगस्य तु योषितो भवति रात्रिषु हर्षपदं तथा ॥
Third joy: day for male planets, night for female. Fourth joy: houses 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 for female planets and 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12 for male.
अत्र समरसिंहेन द्वितीयकं निजगृहं सर्वेषां हर्षपदं भवतीत्यनेन श्लोकार्द्धेन स्वगृहमेव हर्षस्थानमुक्तं न तु स्वोच्चमिति ज्ञेयम् ॥
Samarasimha names only the own house as the second joy place, not the high point.
