Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
यस्य भावस्य शुभाशुभफलजिज्ञासाभीष्टा स एव भावो लग्नं कल्प्यस्सूर्य्यादिग्रहास्तु यथास्थिता एव मन्तव्यास्तत्र सूर्योनचन्द्रान्वितमह्निलग्नमित्याद्युक्तप्रकारेण पुण्यादिसहमं साध्यं यतः पुनर्भ्रात्रादेः प्रसूतिसहमानयने षष्ठभावादियोगश्चिकीर्षितस्तत्र भ्रात्रादिभावाद्यत्षष्ट्यादिभावस्तं क्षिपेदिति ॥
Whichever house's good or bad result is wanted, take that very house as the lagna (rising sign). The Sun and the other planets are taken just as they stand. Then work out the Punya (merit) and other sahamas (special points for one life topic) as said, e.g. 'by day, the lagna with the Moon added and the Sun taken away'. Say a brother's Prasuti (childbirth) sahama or the like needs the 6th house added. Then count from the brother's house. Add whichever house is 6th and so on from it.
Simple meaning: A relative's sahama: take the relative's house as the lagna, keep the planets where they are, and count the 6th and other houses from that house.
अन्ये तु लग्नस्थाने भ्रात्रादिसहमं योज्यं षष्ठभावादियोगे पञ्चराशियुक्तस्तत्सहमयोगो विधेयः ॥
Another view: put the relative's sahama in place of the lagna; for the 6th house, add that sahama plus five signs.
तदेतत्स्पष्टमुक्तं मुक्तावल्याम् ॥
Sahamas for a father or other relative: work them as before, but add the relative's own house where the lagna is added.
एवन्तत्तद्भावस्यापि पित्रादीनाम्मरणसहममपि साध्यम् ॥ यथा मृतिरष्टमर्क्षादिन्दुं विशोध्योक्तवदार्कियोगादिति ॥ अत्र हि तत्तद्भावस्तत्तत्सहमं वा लग्नम्प्रकल्प्य तस्मात्प्राग्वद्भावानानीय चन्द्रमिदानीमानीताष्टमभावं विशोध्य शनियोगे सति मरणसहमम्पित्रादेः स्यात् ॥
Last-days point of the father and other relatives: treat their house as the lagna, find its 8th house, remove the Moon, add Saturn.
