Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
सूतौ षष्ठाष्टरिःफस्थमन्दे पापहतं पुनः ॥पुण्यं धर्मार्थसौख्यघ्नं पत्यौ दग्धे फलं तथा ॥
At birth, the Punya (merit) sahama (special point for one life topic) may stand in the 6th, 8th or 12th and be weak. Bad planets may strike it too. Then the Punya sahama can take away duty, money and comfort. The same result comes when its lord is dagdha (set near the Sun or otherwise hurt).
Simple meaning: Punya point in the 6th, 8th or 12th at birth, weak and hit by bad planets: duty, money and comfort may suffer. The same if its lord is set.
सहमान्यखिलानीत्थं सूतौ वर्षे च चिन्तयेत् ॥
Reading all sahamas, at birth and in the year: good planets bring comfort, as far as the lord's strength allows. For poverty, end-of-life, illness…
पूर्वोक्तप्रकारेण दारिद्र्यादिसहमानि तदधिपानि च चेद्बलयुक्तानि तदा तत्संबन्धिदुःखं वक्तव्यं तेषान्निर्बलत्वे तत्तन्नाशादिना तत्तत्संबन्धिसुखमित्यर्थः ॥
Strong bad sahamas bring their trouble. When they are weak, they fade and the matching comfort comes.
जीर्णताजिके ॥
Sahamas with good planets and ithasala: astrologers judge a person's good and bad from them. Otherwise not.
