Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
अयमर्थः द्विवार्षिकबालकस्योद्वाहसन्तत्यादिसत्यपि सम्भवे न वाच्यम् । येषां कुले वाणिज्यादि न सम्भवति तत्र सत्यपि सम्भवे न वाच्यम् । तथा देशांतरगतभर्तृकानां कुलस्त्रीणाम्वन्ध्यादीनान्नपुंसकानाञ्च सत्यपि सम्भवे प्रसवसम्भवो न वाच्यः एवमन्यत्रापि ज्ञेयम् ॥
This is the sense. Do not tell a child of two years about marriage, children and the like, even if the chart allows them. Trade and the like should not be told for those whose family has none, even if the chart allows it. Childbirth should not be told even if the chart allows it. This holds for women of good family whose husbands are far away. It holds for barren women and the like, and for impotent men. Know the same elsewhere too.
Simple meaning: Fit the result to the person: do not tell marriage, children or trade where the age, family or state of the person does not fit.
अज्ञातजन्मनः प्रश्नलग्नादपि सहमविचारः कर्तव्य इत्युक्तं संज्ञातन्त्रे ॥
Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 3.63; see its meaning there.
अथोक्तसहमफलानि वर्षप्रवेशदिवसात्कतिदिवसैः स्युरित्युक्तन्ताजिकमुक्तावल्याम् ॥
When sahama results come: the sahama less its lord, in degrees, times its rising time, divided by 300, gives the days from the start of the year.
अत्र प्रकारांतरमुक्तं यादवेन ॥
When sahama results come, second way: add the gap between the sahama and its lord to the Sun. The result comes when the Sun enters the sign reached.
