Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
अस्तंगते बलहीने पितृसहमेशेष्टमे लग्नात् ॥क्रूरकृतमूसरिःफे मरणं तातस्य परदेशे ॥चरलग्नस्थे तस्मिन् स्थिरभे गेहेऽन्यभे मार्गे ॥
Take the lord of the Pitri (father) sahama (special point for one life topic). It is set and weak, in the 8th house from the lagna (rising sign). Bad planets make israpha (planets moving apart after an aspect) with it. Then the father's life may be in danger in a foreign land. That is when this lord is in a movable sign. In a fixed sign, it may be at home. In any other sign, it may be on the road.
Simple meaning: Father's sahama lord set, weak, in the 8th with bad planets: a hard time for the father. Its sign shows where: movable, abroad; fixed, at home; other, on the road.
मातापित्रोः सद्मनाथे नष्टे वासस्तयोर्भवेत् ॥
Lord of the mother's and father's sahamas set: matters of their dwelling need care. Risen or strong: comfort for them.
सहमं वा तदधीशश्शुभेत्थशालीयुतः क्रूरैः ॥
Father's sahama with good and bad planets together: illness in the early year, relief later.
बलाढ्ये सहमाधीशे नृपान्मानो यशोद्गमः १२॥
Strong sahama lord: honour from the ruler and rising fame. The mother's sahama works the same way.
