Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
सुतपो लग्नविहीनः पञ्चमभावान्वितोथ गर्भसहमं स्यात् ७४ ॥चन्द्रो बुधेन हीनो लग्नयुतस्सत्यसहमं स्यात् ॥ ७५ ॥एषां वै सहमानान्दिनरात्रिकृतो न भेदोस्ति ॥
Take the lagna away from the lord of the 5th, and add the 5th house. This is the Garbha (womb) sahama (special point for one life topic). The Moon less Mercury, joined with the lagna (rising sign), is the Satya (truth) sahama. For these sahamas there is no difference between day and night.
Simple meaning: Womb point: 5th lord less the lagna plus the 5th house. Truth point: Moon less Mercury plus the lagna. No day and night difference.
इति सहमानयनम् ॥
The working of the sahamas ends here.
अथ सहमस्पष्टीकरणं रोमकताजिके ॥
Correcting the sahama: work its degrees with the Lanka rising time and the local rising time, add, divide by ten, halve. Add in the north, take away…
एतत्स्पष्टमुक्तं विश्वनाथताजिके ॥
Correcting the sahama, step one: in the sahama's sign, take the Lanka rising time.
