Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
सहमं वा तदधीशश्शुभेत्थशालीयुतः क्रूरैः ॥वर्षस्य पूर्वभागे रोगस्तातस्यचोत्तरार्द्धेशम् ॥
Take the sahama (special point for one life topic) or its lord, in good ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) and joined by bad planets. The father may be ill in the first part of the year. There may be well-being in the later half.
Simple meaning: 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.
सुतसहमं शुभयुक्तं शुभग्रहैर्मुथशिलीकृतं स्वपतिना च ॥
Child's sahama strong: gain of a son and a very good result.
सुतसहमञ्च तदीशः पापयुतः सौम्यमुथशीलः ॥
Child's sahama with bad planets and a good link: worry for the son first, comfort later.
