षोडशयोगाध्यायः
अत्र केचिच्छीघ्रमंदग्रहयोरेकराशिस्थयोरेव मुथशिलयोगः नवमपंचमादिभिन्नराशौ यतः समरसिंहेन मध्यमाधमकम्बूललक्षणे मेषस्थेब्जेशनिना कर्कस्थे भूभुवास्त्रियाङ्कविना॥मकरस्थे गुरुणा सह मीनस्थे ज्ञे न शुभश्चेतिपद्येनैकराशौ मुथशिलयोगोभिहितो न भिन्नराशावितिचेन्न यतस्तेन तत्रैव नीचगयोर्ग्रहयोरित्थशालः कार्यनाशकः प्रोक्तस्तद्यथा ॥
Here some say this. Ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) of a fast and a slow planet forms only when both stand in one sign. It does not form in different signs, such as the 9th or 5th from each other. Samarasimha speaks of middling and lowest kambula (the Moon supporting the link of two planets). He says: the Moon in Aries with Saturn; in Cancer with Mars; in Virgo with Venus. In Capricorn with Jupiter; in Pisces with Mercury. This is not good. By this verse he tells of ithasala in one sign, and not in different signs. If you say so, no. For he says there that ithasala of two planets in nicha (low point) destroys the matter. It goes as follows.
Simple meaning: An objection: ithasala only within one sign. Samarasimha's lines on planets in their low signs are used for this.
इक्कवालयोगः
Ikkabala example chart: every planet stands in a corner or a succeeding house.
इंदुवारयोगः॥
Induvara example chart: planets are placed in the falling houses (and one pair in box 2).
यदि नीचो नीचेन च मुथशिलकारी यथा रिपुर्द्विषता ॥
Two low-point planets in ithasala spoil the matter, even with the Moon's support.
