Chapter 3 · The Sixteen Yogas
षोडशयोगाध्यायः
शक्रांशः १४ स्वीयहद्दायां चंद्रः कर्के नवांशकः ९ ॥योगे त्रयाणां कंबूलं प्रोक्तमुत्तममध्यमम् ॥स्वनामसदृशं ज्ञेयं प्रश्ने कंबूलजं फलम् ॥
Mercury is at fourteen degrees, in its own hadda (a planet's own small part of a sign). The Moon is in Cancer, at nine degrees. When the three are in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect), the kambula (the Moon supporting the link of two planets) is called best-middle. In the question, know the result to be like its name.
Simple meaning: 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.
अथोत्तमाधमकंबूललक्षणम् ॥
Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 2.39; see its meaning there.
