Hayanaratna · Chapter 3
षोडशयोगाध्यायः
This chapter names the sixteen Tajika yogas, which are the links between planets that a year chart is read through. It first gives the orbs of the planets, then spends most of its time on ithasala, planets moving toward an exact aspect.
Next come israpha, nakta, yamaya and manau, each with a worked chart. The long kambula section grades the Moon and the two lords into sixteen kinds. The last yogas are khallasara, radda, duphalikuttha, dutthotthadavira, tambira, kuttha and durupha. The chapter ends by saying all sixteen are forms of ithasala.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.

जातेत्थशाले द्युभयोरदृष्टिस्थाने चरन् शीतरुचिस्तयोस्तु ॥प्रविश्य कस्यापि गृहं तथोच्चं कुर्याद्युतिङ्गैरिकबूलमुक्तम् ॥
This ends the kambula (the Moon supporting the link of two planets) yoga (planet combination). Next, gairikambula (the Moon linking through a later sign). Yadava states the definition of gairikambula there. Suppose an ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) has formed between those two. The Moon moves where the two do not see it. It enters the house of some planet, or its uchcha (high point). It joins that planet. That is called gairikambula.
Simple meaning: Gairikambula: the two lords have an ithasala. The Moon, out of their sight, enters another planet's house or high sign and joins it.
षोडशयोगाध्यायः
वदन्ति चैतं फलतस्समानङ्कम्बूलयोगस्य तथैव भेदैः ॥तथाहि गेहन्ननिजोच्चकश्च यदा तदानिष्टफलंकबूलम् ॥
They say gairikambula (the Moon linking through a later sign) gives the same result as the kambula (the Moon supporting the link of two planets) yoga (planet combination), and the same for its kinds. That is: [the Moon] may be in neither [that planet's] house nor its own uchcha (high point). Then that kambula gives an unwanted result.
Simple meaning: Gairikambula gives results like kambula. If the Moon is not in the house or high sign of the planet it links with, the result is not wanted.
षोडशयोगाध्यायः
तयोर्लग्नेशकार्येशयोर्युतिमित्थशालश्चंद्रेत्थशालावस्थितस्य ग्रहमुच्चं वा न भवति तदानिष्टमित्यर्थः ॥
Its meaning: the lagna (rising sign) lord and the work lord join, or make an ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect). Take the planet that has an ithasala with the Moon. If the Moon is not in that planet's house or uchcha (high point), the result is unwanted.
Simple meaning: Meaning of the rule: if the Moon is not in the house or high sign of the planet it links with, the result is not wanted.
षोडशयोगाध्यायः
उक्तश्च ताजिकालङ्कारे ॥तत्खेटगेहतुङ्गस्थो न स्याद्यदि च चन्द्रमाः॥गैरिकम्बूलयोगोसावभद्रः कथितो बुधैः ॥
And it is said in the Tajikalankara. Suppose the Moon is not in the house or uchcha (high point) of that planet. Then this gairikambula (the Moon linking through a later sign) yoga (planet combination) is called not good by the wise.
Simple meaning: Gairikambula is called not good when the Moon is not in the house or high sign of that planet.
षोडशयोगाध्यायः
अत्रोदाहरणं संज्ञातन्त्रे ॥लप्स्ये सुखमितिप्रश्ने सिंहलग्नं रविः क्रिये ॥अष्टांशैस्सुखपः कुम्भे भौमोंशे रविभिस्तयोः ॥
Here is the example, in the Samjna Tantra. The same verse is in Tajika Nilakanthi 2.58, with our English meaning there.
Simple meaning: Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 2.58; see its meaning there.
षोडशयोगाध्यायः
इत्थशालोस्ति तत्रेन्दुः कन्यायाश्चरमेंशके ॥स्वर्क्षादिपदहीनस्य नेत्थशालोस्ति कस्यचित् ॥
The same verse is in Tajika Nilakanthi 2.59, with our English meaning there.
Simple meaning: Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 2.59; see its meaning there.
षोडशयोगाध्यायः
स स्वोच्चगेन शनिनाऽन्यर्क्षस्थेनेत्थशालकृत् ॥गैरिकम्बूलमन्येन साहाय्याल्लाभदायकम् ॥
It [the Moon] makes an ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with Saturn, who is in his own uchcha (high point), in another sign. This is gairikambula (the Moon linking through a later sign). It brings gain through another's help.
Simple meaning: The Moon links with Saturn at his high point in the next sign. This is gairikambula, with gain through another's help.
षोडशयोगाध्यायः
द्वयोरथैकेन च शीतभानुरदृष्टिमार्गे विचरन्करोति ॥न मूथशीलन्न च संयुतिं वा खल्लासरः कार्य्यहरस्तदा स्यात् ॥
This ends gairikambula (the Moon linking through a later sign). Next, khallasara (the Moon with no link). Yadava states the definition of the khallasara yoga (planet combination) there. The Moon moves along a path where the two [lords] do not see it. It makes no ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) and no joining with the two, or even with one. Then khallasara takes away the work.
Simple meaning: Khallasara: the Moon, out of sight of the two lords, makes no ithasala or joining with either of them. It takes away the work.
Verse 3.6 says a planet makes the yogas within its orb. Verse 3.4 gives the orbs: Sun 15, Moon 12, Mars 8, Venus and Mercury 7, Jupiter and Saturn 9.
Verse 3.51 says that when a fast planet goes one degree ahead of a slow planet, that is israpha, also called musaripha. The older teachers said it gives a bad result.
Verse 3.180 says the Moon moves where the two lords do not see it and makes no ithasala or joining with them. Then khallasara takes away the work.
