षोडशयोगाध्यायः
राज्यप्रश्ने युग्मलग्नं ३ बुधः कौर्प्ये नगां ७ शकः ॥समस्य ज्ञस्य गेहे तु कर्के पंचां ५ शकः शशी ॥कंबूलमुत्तमसमं त्रयाणामित्थशालतः ॥
In a question about a kingdom, Gemini (sign 3) is the lagna (rising sign). Mercury is in Scorpio, at seven degrees. That is the house of a planet neutral to Mercury. The Moon is in Cancer, at five degrees. Because the three are in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect), the kambula (the Moon supporting the link of two planets) is best-equal.
Simple meaning: 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.
अत्रापि यदीन्दुस्स्वगृहोच्चस्थ इत्यनुवर्तते ॥
Best-lowest kambula: the Moon is strong as before.
उदाहरणम् ॥
Best-lowest kambula example, part 1: Libra rising; Venus in Virgo at 10, its low sign.
