Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
अथ सहमानाम्फलानि ॥ तत्रादौ सहमाधीशबलित्वाबलित्वलक्षणमुक्तं समरसिंहेन ॥स्वगृहोच्चत्रिंशत्रैराशिकनवांशकगतानाम् ॥प्राक्स्थाने बलवान् यथोत्तरस्थानगो हीनः ॥
Next, the results of the sahamas (special point for one life topic). First, Samarasimha has told the marks of a strong or weak sahama lord. Take a planet in its own sign or its uchcha (high point). Or in its trimshamsha (one-thirtieth part of a sign), or a trairashika (of a four-sign group) sign of its own. Or in its navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). In the earlier place it is strong. In each later place it is weaker.
Simple meaning: Strength of a sahama lord: own sign is best, then high sign, one-thirtieth part, four-sign group, ninth part. Each later place is weaker.
यस्य बहवोधिकारास्तद्बलमन्वेष्यमुदयदृष्टौ च ॥
Strength of a planet in charge: many charges are not enough. A planet that sees the lagna is strong, even with few charges.
दिवसे च वर्षलग्ने दिनखेटानां निशागतोन्येषाम् ॥
Day and night planets: day planets are stronger in a day year chart, the others at night. Good planets in a harsh place give bad.
दिनखेटाः पुंग्रहाः अन्येषां स्त्रीग्रहाणामिति ॥
Day planets are the male planets. The rest are female planets.
