षोडशयोगाध्यायः
अत्रोदाहरणे॥भागप्रश्ने तुलालग्नं स्वहद्दायां दशांशकः १० ॥दशमे संस्थितः शुक्रो भाग्यपो ज्ञश्च सप्तमे ॥
Here is the example. In a question about fortune, Libra is the lagna (rising sign). Venus is in its own hadda (a planet's own small part of a sign), at ten degrees. It stands in the 10th house. Mercury, the lord of fortune, is in the 7th.
Simple meaning: Best-middle kambula example, part 1: Libra rising; Venus in the 10th at 10, in its own small part; Mercury in the 7th.
शक्रांशः १४ स्वीयहद्दायां चंद्रः कर्के नवांशकः ९ ॥
Best-middle kambula example, part 2: Mercury at 14 in its own small part, Moon in Cancer at 9. The result matches the name.
एवं स्वस्वनवांशे तु गतयोर्लग्नकार्ययोः ॥
The same best-middle kambula forms when both lords are in their own navamsha.
राज्यप्रश्ने युग्मलग्नं ३ बुधः कौर्प्ये नगां ७ शकः ॥
Best-equal kambula example: question about a kingdom. Gemini rising, Mercury in Scorpio at 7, Moon in Cancer at 5.
