Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
यस्य बहवोधिकारास्तद्बलमन्वेष्यमुदयदृष्टौ च ॥बह्वधिकारोपि यदा न वीक्ष्यते लग्नमस्य न बलं स्यात् ॥स्वल्पाधिकारयुक्तो विलग्नदर्शी बली खेटः ॥
A planet may be adhikari (the planet in charge) in many ways. Look at its strength, and at its look on the lagna (rising sign). Even with many charges, if it does not see the lagna, it has no strength. A planet with few charges that sees the lagna is strong.
Simple meaning: 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.
अथ सहमस्य बलाबलमुक्तं रोमकेण ॥
A sahama is strong when its lord or good planets join or see it, or when its lord is strong.
