Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
पुत्रसद्मेश्वरे नष्टे पुत्रनाशं विनिर्दिशेत् ॥तस्मिन्नभ्युदिते पुत्रस्थिते पुत्राप्तिमादिशेत् ॥
When the lord of the Putra (son) sahama (special point for one life topic) is set, point to loss of the son. When it is risen and stands in the son's place, point to gain of a son.
Simple meaning: Son's sahama lord set: a hard time for the son. Risen and placed in the son's place: gain of a son.
सूतौ सुतेश्वरो वर्षे पुत्रसद्माधिपो भवेत् ॥
5th lord at birth who is also the son's sahama lord in the year, seen by friends and good planets: gain of a son.
क्रूरदृष्टे जीविताख्ये सहमे निर्बलाधिपे ॥
Life sahama seen by bad planets with a weak lord: fainting spells in the year. The opposite brings much comfort.
जलसद्म शुभैर्युक्तं दृष्टं वा स्वामिना यदि ॥
Water sahama with good planets or its lord: more glow in the body. Otherwise less.
