दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
विशेषो मुक्तावल्यां॥शीघ्रखेचरपुरः स्थिरगामी तस्य दृग् निगदिता विफला सा॥अन्यथा भवति भाविफलाढ्यै वर्तमानफलदा समगत्येति॥
A special point in the Muktavali. A slow-moving planet may stand in front of a fast planet. Its drishti (a planet's look) is then said to be fruitless. Otherwise, it is rich in results to come. With equal speed it gives results of the present.
Simple meaning: A slow planet in front of a fast one gives a fruitless look; otherwise the look gives future results, or present ones at equal speed.
अन्यो विशेषस्ताजिकसारे॥
Bad planets in a bad look and good planets in a good look give the full result; the other way round, half.
यदा तु क्रूराः सौम्यदृष्टिविषये सौम्याः क्रूरदृष्टिविषये तदार्द्धफलदातारः स्युः॥क्रूरसौम्ययोर्योगे चरणत्रयं फलं ज्ञेयं॥
Bad and good planets in the wrong kind of look give half the result; joined together, three quarters.
यदाह वामनः
Bad planets in a bad look and good planets in a good look give the full result of the look.
