षोडशयोगाध्यायः
अथवा यत्कार्यनिमित्तं लग्नेशकार्येशाभ्यां यस्मिन् स्थाने मुथशिलं कृतं तत्र द्वयोरेकस्थानगो भौमः शनिर्वा हीनैरधिकैर्वा स्वदीप्तभागैर्द्वयोरेकस्य वा तेजो गृह्णाति स मणऊयोगः कार्यनाशको ज्ञेयः ॥
Or: the lagna (rising sign) lord and the lord of the matter made ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) in some place for some matter. Mars or Saturn stands in that place with the two. With its own deepta degrees (the planet's orb of light), less or more, it takes the light of both, or of one. That is manau (Mars or Saturn blocking the link of two planets). Know it as the destroyer of the matter.
Simple meaning: 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.
पुनर्नक्तयोगः ॥
Second nakta chart: Jupiter in Pisces at 12, Moon in Cancer at 7, and a mark in Virgo at 2.
