षोडशयोगाध्यायः
पूर्वपद्यस्यायमर्थः ॥ भौमश्शनिर्वालग्नेशकार्य्येशयोर्मध्ये शीघ्रग्रहस्याग्रे पृष्ठे वा स्थित्वा चतुर्थसप्तमैक-राशिदृष्ट्या पश्यन् सन् स्वदीप्तांशैर्हीनैरधिकैर्वा शीघ्रस्य तेजो गृह्णाति तत्र लग्नेशकार्येशयोरित्थशालेऽपि कार्यनाशको मणऊयोगः।
The meaning of the verse above: take the lagna (rising sign) lord and the lord of the matter. Mars or Saturn stands ahead of or behind the faster of the two. It looks by the 4th, 7th or same-sign look. With its own deepta degrees (the planet's orb of light), less or more, it takes the fast planet's light. These two lords may have ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect). Even then, the manau (Mars or Saturn blocking the link of two planets) combination destroys the matter.
Simple meaning: Manau, first reading: Mars or Saturn takes the light of the faster of the two lords. Then even an ithasala between the lagna lord and the matter's lord cannot save the matter.
अथवा यत्कार्यनिमित्तं लग्नेशकार्येशाभ्यां यस्मिन् स्थाने मुथशिलं कृतं तत्र द्वयोरेकस्थानगो भौमः शनिर्वा हीनैरधिकैर्वा स्वदीप्तभागैर्द्वयोरेकस्य वा तेजो गृह्णाति स मणऊयोगः कार्यनाशको ज्ञेयः ॥
Manau, second reading: Mars or Saturn stands where the ithasala was made and takes light from one or both. It spoils the matter.
अत्र श्रीहरिभट्टदैवज्ञकृतसंग्रहः श्लोकः ॥
Manau by Haribhatta: Mars or Saturn linking with the fast planet destroys the result of the ithasala between the two lords. Manau is not good.
अत्रोदाहरणमाह यादवः ॥
Manau example: Virgo rising, Mercury at 10 degrees, Mars in Gemini at 11. Mars is ahead, so there is no gain of a wife.
