Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
सहमस्वामी पतिते ६ । ८ । १२ भवनेरिष्टं करोत्यचिरात् ॥सहमे शुभयुतदृष्टे सहमारिष्टं विनाशयतीति ॥
A sahama (special point for one life topic) lord may fall in a fallen house: the 6th, 8th or 12th. It then soon brings arishta (harm in the year). When good planets join or see the sahama, they remove the sahama's arishta.
Simple meaning: 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.
ननु बहूनां वर्षप्रवेशे पुण्याश्वराज्यगजादिसहमानां तदधिपानां च सबलत्वं दृश्यते परंतु तत्फलं तेषां न भवतीति चेदुच्यते ॥
Strong sahamas with no result: many people have strong sahamas in the year chart but get nothing. The answer follows.
प्रथमं जन्मनि प्रागुक्तरीत्या सर्वाणि सहमानि साध्यानि ततः स्वामिनो बलाबलविवेकं सहमस्यापि बलाबलविवेकं विधाय येषां सहमानां सर्वप्रकारेण नैर्बल्यं निर्णीतं तानि वर्षे फलदानासामर्थ्यात् कदाचिदपि न विचारयेत् ॥ येषां तु सर्वप्रकारेण सबलत्वं तान्येव वर्षे विचारणीयानि ॥
Check every sahama in the birth chart first. Only those strong in every way are looked at in the year chart.
