दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अथ दृष्टिप्रधानत्वान्मैत्रीचक्रस्य पूर्वं दृष्टयोभिहितास्तत्रावसरप्राप्तं मैत्रीचक्रमुच्यते ॥ तत्र मैत्रीचक्रं चतुर्विधं ॥ एकं दृष्टिवशेन मित्रसमशत्रुरूपं ॥ द्वितीयं दृष्टिवशेनाधिमित्रसमशत्रुअधिशत्रुरूपं ॥ तृतीयं दृष्टिवशेन मित्रशत्रुरूपम् ॥ चतुर्थं दृष्टिं विनैव नियतमित्रशत्रुरूपम् ॥
Now, the drishtis (a planet's look) were told earlier, because the maitri chakra (friendship wheel) depends mainly on drishti. So the maitri chakra, whose turn has now come, is told. The maitri chakra is of four kinds. The first is by way of drishti: friend, neutral and enemy. The second is by way of drishti: great friend, friend, neutral, enemy and great enemy. The third is by way of drishti: friend and enemy. The fourth is without drishti at all: fixed friends and enemies.
Simple meaning: Four friendship schemes: friend, neutral, enemy by look; five grades by look; friend and enemy by look; and fixed friends and enemies with no look.
तत्र प्रथमं त्रिधामैत्र्यादिसहितं मैत्रीचक्रमुक्तं रोमकताजिके ॥
Friend by place: a planet in the 3rd, 5th, 9th or 11th from another is its friend. In the 2nd, 6th, 8th or 12th it is neutral.
शत्रुस्तथैकतुर्य्ये जायास्थाने तथा दशमे १।४।७।१० ॥
Enemy by place: a planet in the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th from another is its enemy.
द्वितीयं विशेषबलोपयुक्तम्पञ्चधामैत्रीचक्रमुक्तम्मुक्तावल्याम् ॥
Five grades by look: 9th and 5th great friend, 3rd and 11th friend, 2nd, 6th and 8th neutral, 4th and 10th enemy, 7th and 1st great enemy.
