Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
सहमान्यखिलानीत्थं सूतौ वर्षे च चिन्तयेत् ॥शुभयोगेक्षणात्सौख्यं पत्युर्वीर्यानुसारतः ॥दारिद्र्यमृतिमांद्यारिकलियुक्तो विपर्यय इति ॥
All the sahamas (special point for one life topic) should be read in this way, at birth and in the year. When good planets join or see a sahama, comfort comes. It comes in step with the lord's strength. The reverse holds for Daridrya (poverty), Mrityu (end of life), Mandya (illness), Ari (enemy) and Kali (quarrel).
Simple meaning: 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, enemy and quarrel sahamas it goes the other way.
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.
समरसिंहः॥
Look at every sahama at birth and in the year chart, then judge. The year lord and lagna lord give the result of the place they stand in.
