Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
अथ सहमस्य बलाबलमुक्तं रोमकेण ॥स्वस्वामिवाशुभैः खेटैः सहमं युतवीक्षितम् ॥भवेद्बलयुतं स्वामी बलवान् यस्य वा भवेत् ॥
Next, Romaka has told the strength and weakness of the sahama (special point for one life topic). The sahama is strong when its own lord or good planets join or see it. It is also strong when its lord is strong.
Simple meaning: A sahama is strong when its lord or good planets join or see it, or when its lord is strong.
विपर्यये निर्बलत्वमष्टमाधिपसंयुतम् ॥
A sahama is weak in the opposite case, with the 8th lord, or with a bad planet in ithasala. Its result then does not come in the year.
सहमस्वामी पतिते ६ । ८ । १२ भवनेरिष्टं करोत्यचिरात् ॥
Sahama lord in the 6th, 8th or 12th: it soon brings harm. Good planets joining or seeing the sahama remove the harm.
यादवोपि ॥
Strong sahama: its lord, friends and good planets join or see it, and its lord has risen. It gives its own result; otherwise loss.
