Chapter 3 · The Sixteen Yogas
षोडशयोगाध्यायः
यदाह यादवः ॥स्वोच्चस्वालयशालिनोर्यदि शशी स्वोच्चे स्वगेहे स्थितः सुश्रेष्ठं निजतुङ्गगेहरहितो योगे तदा श्रेष्ठकम् ॥स्वत्रैराशिकहद्दभागगतयोर्मध्यं विनैभिस्ततो हीनं हीनतरञ्च नीचरिपुभे योगङ्करोतीह चेत् ॥
Yadava says: The two lords may be in their own uchcha (high point) or own sign. The Moon may also be in its own high point or own sign. Then the kambula (the Moon supporting the link of two planets) is the very best. If the Moon has neither its own high point nor its own sign, the yoga (planet combination) is best. The two lords may stand in their own group of three signs, or own hadda (a planet's own small part of a sign) or part. That gives the middle kind. Without these, it is lower. It is lower still if the Moon makes the yoga in a low or enemy sign.
Simple meaning: Kambula grades: Moon and both lords in own or high sign, very best; lords in own small parts, middle; without these, lower; low or enemy sign, lower still.
हीनं समं हीनतरं मध्यममेवञ्चन्द्रस्य लग्नेशकार्येशयोश्चाधिकारगवेषणया कम्बूलमुत्तमोत्तमादिषोडशभेदभिन्नम्भवतीति ज्ञेयम् ॥
Kambula has sixteen kinds, found by the ranks of the Moon and the two lords.
अथोत्तमकम्बूललक्षणं संज्ञातंत्रे ॥
Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 2.37; see its meaning there.
अत्रोदाहरणन्तत्रैव ॥
Best-best kambula: Sun or Mars in Aries, Moon in Cancer, with ithasala. The work gets done.
