Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
यादवोपि ॥स्वपतिमित्रशुभेक्षितसंयुतं सहममुद्गतनाथमुदीरितम् ॥बलिनिजार्थकरं यदि वान्यथा क्षयकरं भवनं च विचिंतयेदिति ॥
Yadava too: a sahama (special point for one life topic) may be joined or seen by its own lord, by friends and by good planets. Its lord may also have risen. Such a sahama is called strong. It brings about its own matter. Otherwise it brings loss. Also think about the house.
Simple meaning: 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.
उक्तंच संज्ञातंत्रे ॥
Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 3.30; see its meaning there.
