दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
This chapter on drishti in varshaphal begins with the four kinds of look between planets, open friendship, hidden friendship, hidden enmity and open enmity. It gives how strong each look is and what it tends to bring.
It then shows how close two planets must be for a look to give its full result. After that come the friendship schemes between planets. The rest of the chapter weighs a planet's strength, by sign, place, direction, time and motion, and ends with the joy places and how the strengths are added.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.

अत्र शुभस्थानगे ग्रहे शुभफलं रूपमितं स्थाप्यं ॥ अशुभस्थानगे ग्रहे अशुभफलं रूपमितं स्थाप्यं पुनश्शुभाऽशुभफलयोरंतरेकृते सति यच्छुभमशुभंवा अवशिष्टन्तदेव ग्रहस्य इष्टं कष्टंवा फलन्दशाफलादिषु ज्ञेयम् ॥
Here, for a planet in a good place, set a good result measured as one rupa (unit of strength). For a planet in a bad place, set a bad result measured as one rupa.

This is to be known in the dasha (planet period) results and the rest.
Simple meaning: Ishta and kashta: give one unit to the good result and one to the bad result. Subtract. What is left is the planet's good or bad result.

[The full share] less this [is kashta (bad strength)]. Or the kashta result is to be worked out from the shares of the strength divisions. These are told [in the verse] beginning 'yadva sveshtaratishu dvadashamshah'. Thus ends the study of ishta (good strength) and kashta.
Simple meaning: Finding the bad strength: take the good share from the full share, or use the strength shares given earlier. This ends ishta and kashta.

Here some set up the eightfold strength in a general way only. And it is said by Hillaja: 1: moving at an even pace. 2: risen. 3: seen by a shubha (good planet). 4: joined. [5:] in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with shubha. 6: in a good house. 7: in the Sun's part. 8: moving among shubha. Such a planet is declared very strong. A planet that is the opposite of the strengths told has weak strength. A planet may move where both strengths are mixed. Or it may move where both are missing. Then it has middle strength, say the best of sages.
Simple meaning: Eightfold strength by Hillaja: even pace, risen, seen by a good planet, joined, ithasala with good planets, good house, Sun's part, among good planets. This is very strong.

Simple meaning: Make the twelve vargas for every house, and work out the gross and fine results of each house.

This is clearly said in the Samjna Tantra. For all the houses too, look at the varga (division of a sign) chart and work out each result.
Simple meaning: For every house, look at the varga chart and work out each result.

The way to find the vishopaka (twentieth parts) in the dvadashavargi (twelve-part division) chakra (wheel) is told in the Yogasudhanidhi. In its own house and the rest, 100 kalas. In a friend's, half of that, 50. In an enemy's, half of that, 25. Add them up. Divide by 60 (abhra-anga: kha 0 and anga 6, read as 60). This gives the vishopaka for the total strength in the twelve vargas.
Simple meaning: Twelve-varga vishopaka: 100 for own, 50 for friend, 25 for enemy in each division. Add all and divide by 60.

Here some do not make the dvadashavargi (twelve-part division) chakra (wheel). And they recite: 'Vamana told the twelve vargas (divisions of a sign) for the planets. Because the old teachers did not say it, it is called artificial.'
Simple meaning: Some say the twelve-varga chart is artificial because the old teachers did not give it.

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.

Now the year strength of the planets. There, four places of harsha (a planet's place of joy) are told by Tejahsimha. For the planets from the Sun on, in order: the 9th, 3rd, 6th, 1st, 11th, 5th and 12th. This first is indeed joy-giving. Own house and uchcha (high point): this pair is remembered as the second. In all the groups of planets, the third ...
Simple meaning: 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 point.

... by day for a male planet, and likewise at night for a female planet, there is a harsha (a planet's place of joy). From the lagna (rising sign), take three and three in turn. For female planets the houses are 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9. For male planets (nridyushad) the houses are 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12. This is the fourth.
Simple meaning: 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.

Samarasimha has a half-verse: 'the second, own house, is the harsha (a planet's place of joy) of all'. By it only the own house is stated as a harsha place. The own uchcha (high point) is not. This is to be known.
Simple meaning: Samarasimha names only the own house as the second joy place, not the high point.

Here the vishopaka (twentieth parts) are told in the Paddhatibhushana. 'Planets joined with joy, in a harsha (a planet's place of joy), are held to have five vishopaka. A planet standing in all four harsha places is fully joyful.'
Simple meaning: Paddhatibhushana: five vishopaka in each joy place, so a planet in all four is fully glad.

Now in Samarasimha's commentary, Tuka the astrologer gives a strength measured as one rupa (unit of strength) for each single harsha (a planet's place of joy). Even there, take the 9th and the other places, and the signs three by three from the lagna (rising sign). In these the strength is just the house result. This is by the method told before. But the strength of own house and uchcha (high point) ...
Simple meaning: Tuka's comment: one unit for each joy place. In the first and fourth joy places, the house result is the strength. Own house and high point continue next.

The people who know the planets said that the highest uchcha (high point) is at the end of a sign. In the same way they know that own house gives its full result at the end of the sign.
Simple meaning: Jirna Tajika: the highest high point and own house give full result at the end of the sign.

From these words of the Jirna Tajika: a planet stands in own house or uchcha (high point). Its degrees and the rest are doubled. That is the own-house and uchcha strength. The day-night strength is only the planet's day strength told before. Again, in the special strengths of the planets, the first harsha (a planet's place of joy) strength and the day-night strength are already added. So the strength of the two [other] harsha places is to be added to the special strengths. This is the truth. The total of all the strengths is the true strength. By this true strength alone the year lord's result, the dasha (planet period) result and the rest are to be known. This is clear.
Simple meaning: Own house and high point count double. Add all strengths to get the true strength. Use it for the year lord and dasha results.

In the first-joy strength, more harsha (a planet's place of joy) are told for some planets in the Prashnavaishnava. The 10th, 4th and 2nd [are joy places] of the Moon. The 4th of Mercury. The lagna (rising sign) of the Sun. The dyuna (old name for the 7th house) of Mars. The dharma sign (the 9th) of Saturn. They call these joy-giving.
Simple meaning: Extra joy places: Moon 10th, 4th and 2nd; Mercury 4th; Sun the lagna; Mars the 7th; Saturn the 9th.

Yadava told five harsha (a planet's place of joy). For the Sun and the others, the houses are called as follows. Nanda (9), agni (3), tarka (6), indu (1), shiva (11), ishu (5) and ina (12). Own house, own uchcha (high point). Three from the lagna (rising sign) for male and female planets. Night and day, for those called female and male.

Verse 2.23 says that within twelve degrees the look gives its results as told; beyond that the results are ordinary.
Verse 2.62 says a planet in the 3rd, 5th, 9th or 11th place from another is its friend, and in the 2nd, 6th, 8th or 12th it is neutral.
