Hayanaratna · Chapter 4
सहमाध्यायः
This chapter is about varshaphal sahamas, the special points of a year chart, each tied to one matter of life. It starts by saying sahamas help the results of every house, as fate helps effort.
Then it names them and shows how to work out the Punya point, by day and by night, with examples and the views of older teachers. Many more sahamas follow, each with its own sum. Next it tells how to judge a sahama's strength and what each one gives. It closes with a note to fit the result to the person, and how to time the results.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
सहमाध्यायः
तद्यथा ॥ वर्षप्रवेशे भौमो राश्यादिः ३ । १० लग्नेशश्चंद्रो राश्यादिः २ ।५॥ अत्र लग्नाधीशाच्चन्द्राद्भौमपर्य्यन्तङ्गणना कर्तव्या । मिथुनपञ्चांशादुपरि कर्कंदशमांशावधि गणनया जातं राश्यादिः १ । ५ ॥ लग्नाधिपोनभौमः समन्न तु कुजेन लग्नपसमम् ॥
Here is an example. At the year's entry, Mars is at 3 signs 10 degrees. The lord of the lagna (rising sign) is the Moon, at 2 signs 5 degrees. Here, count from the lagna lord, the Moon, up to Mars. Count from 5 degrees of Gemini up to 10 degrees of Cancer. The count gives 1 sign 5 degrees. Mars less the lagna lord gives the same figure. The lagna lord less Mars does not.
Simple meaning: Samarthya point, worked example: Mars at 3 signs 10 degrees, the Moon (lagna lord) at 2 signs 5 degrees. The count from Moon to Mars is 1 sign 5 degrees, which is Mars minus the Moon.
सहमाध्यायः
अत एव मुक्तावल्यां स्पष्टमभिहितम् ॥सामर्थ्यसद्म दिवसे कुजतोंगनाथं चेत्सागयोगुरुमतस्तु सदैव जह्यादिति ॥
That is why the Muktavali says it clearly. "The Samarthya sahama (special point for one life topic), by day: take the lagna (rising sign) lord away from Mars. If ..., always take it away." (Our text is unclear here: the words after 'if' do not read as a clear clause; they seem to name Jupiter.)
Simple meaning: Samarthya point in the Muktavali: by day, take the lagna lord from Mars. The rest of the line is unclear.
सहमाध्यायः
समरसिंहवाक्ये यस्माद्गणना तस्य शोध्यत्वं यदवधिगणना तस्य शोधकत्वं सर्वत्र ज्ञेयमित्यलम् ॥
In Samarasimha's words, the planet the count starts from is the one taken away. The planet the count runs up to is the one it is taken from. Know this everywhere. Enough.
Simple meaning: General rule: the planet counted from is taken away, and the planet counted up to is the one it is taken from.

This is the meaning. The Artha (wealth) sahama (special point for one life topic) runs from the lord of the 2nd house up to the 2nd house. That is, take the 2nd lord away from the 2nd house. Keshava's Paddhati says, in sense: "From its own lord, its own sign. That is wealth." That sahama was found by swapping the one taken away and the one it is taken from. This comes only from not knowing Samarasimha's words.
Simple meaning: Artha point: count from the 2nd lord up to the 2nd house, so 2nd house minus its lord. Balabhadra says Keshava swapped the two.

Divide by ten. The result is in degrees and so on. In the north half of the sky it is added. In the south half it is the other way.
Simple meaning: Romaka's second rule: add the two rising-time figures, divide by ten. Add in the north, take away in the south.

अनयोः प्रयोजनं जीर्णताजिके ॥सहमेशः स्फुटदृष्ट्या पश्यति सहमं तदा बलं तस्य ॥सहमस्यैव प्राप्तिः स्फुटः किं समेरोमकः प्राहेति ॥
The use of these two [corrections] is told in the Jirna Tajika. When the sahama's (special point for one life topic) lord looks at the sahama by an exact drishti (a planet's look), it has strength. Then the sahama itself is gained. (Our text is unclear here: the last words about what Romaka says.)
Simple meaning: Why correct the sahama: when its lord looks at it exactly, it has strength and the sahama is gained.

ग्रहसहमानयनं समरसिंहटीकायां तुकज्योनिर्विद्भिरुक्तम् ॥ ग्रहमग्रस्थग्रहात्संशोध्य लग्नं योज्यं ग्रहसहमं भवेत् ॥
The working of the planet sahamas is told in the commentary on Samarasimha, by astrologers. Take the planet away from the planet that stands ahead of it. Add the lagna (rising sign). That is the planet's sahama (special point for one life topic). (Our text is unclear here: the word before 'astrologers'.)
Simple meaning: Planet sahama: take the planet from the planet ahead of it, then add the lagna.
सहमाध्यायः
एवं मुथहाराशिसंयोगान्मुथहासहमं च भवति ॥
In the same way, from bringing in the sign of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year), there is also a muntha sahama (special point for one life topic).
Simple meaning: Muntha point: made the same way as a planet sahama, by bringing in the muntha's sign.
सहमाध्यायः
उक्तश्च मुथहाराशिसंयोगान्मुथहासहमञ्च तत् ॥
And it is said: from bringing in the muntha's (the point that moves one sign each year) sign, that too is the muntha sahama (special point for one life topic).
Simple meaning: Muntha point: made by bringing in the muntha's sign.

वर्षेजमौदिवा कार्ये स्वामिहीनं तनुं सदा ॥भावहीनं तथा रात्रौ लग्नं योज्यं स्फुटं भवेदिति ॥
Next, the working of the house sahamas (special points for one life topic) is told by Romaka. ... By day, always take its lord away from the house. At night, likewise, take the house away [from its lord]. Add the lagna (rising sign). Then it becomes exact. (Our text is unclear here: the opening words, varshejamau.)
Simple meaning: House sahamas: by day the house less its lord, at night the lord less the house, then add the lagna.
सहमाध्यायः
अत्र सहमस्य सहमाधीशस्य च ग्रहाणां शुभाशुभं वा फलमविकलं स्यात् । निर्बलत्वे न्यूनं स्यादिति ज्ञेयम् ॥
Here, the good or bad result is full [when they are strong]. This holds for the sahama (special point for one life topic), its lord and the planets. If they are weak, it is less. This should be known.
Simple meaning: A sahama gives its full result when it and its lord are strong, and less when weak.

अथात्र किञ्चिद्विशेषविचारः ॥ एतानि सहमानि देवदत्तादेः शुभाशुभफलजिज्ञासार्थमभिहितानि तत्र यस्य जन्मपत्रमस्ति तस्य तावत् सहमविचारो भवति ॥ अथेदानीं तदीयभ्रातुर्यदि जन्मपत्राभावस्तदा तदीयपत्नीभाग्यलाभराज्यसहमानि चिकीर्षितानि सन्ति एवं पत्न्यादीनां भ्रात्रादिसहमानि चिकीर्षितानि सन्ति कथं तेषान्निष्पत्तिरिति चेदुच्यते ॥
Next, here is a small special point. These sahamas (special points for one life topic) are told so that one may learn the good or bad results of Devadatta and others. For one who has a birth chart, the sahamas are read from it. Now suppose his brother has no birth chart. And suppose the brother's wife, fortune, gain and kingdom sahamas are wanted. In the same way, for a wife and others, the sahamas of a brother and others may be wanted. How are these made? To this it is said:
Simple meaning: Sahamas for a relative with no birth chart: how to make them.
सहमाध्यायः
यस्य भावस्य शुभाशुभफलजिज्ञासाभीष्टा स एव भावो लग्नं कल्प्यस्सूर्य्यादिग्रहास्तु यथास्थिता एव मन्तव्यास्तत्र सूर्योनचन्द्रान्वितमह्निलग्नमित्याद्युक्तप्रकारेण पुण्यादिसहमं साध्यं यतः पुनर्भ्रात्रादेः प्रसूतिसहमानयने षष्ठभावादियोगश्चिकीर्षितस्तत्र भ्रात्रादिभावाद्यत्षष्ट्यादिभावस्तं क्षिपेदिति ॥
Whichever house's good or bad result is wanted, take that very house as the lagna (rising sign). The Sun and the other planets are taken just as they stand. Then work out the Punya (merit) and other sahamas (special points for one life topic) as said, e.g. 'by day, the lagna with the Moon added and the Sun taken away'. Say a brother's Prasuti (childbirth) sahama or the like needs the 6th house added. Then count from the brother's house. Add whichever house is 6th and so on from it.
Simple meaning: A relative's sahama: take the relative's house as the lagna, keep the planets where they are, and count the 6th and other houses from that house.
सहमाध्यायः
अन्ये तु लग्नस्थाने भ्रात्रादिसहमं योज्यं षष्ठभावादियोगे पञ्चराशियुक्तस्तत्सहमयोगो विधेयः ॥
But others say: put the sahama (special point for one life topic) of the brother or other relative in place of the lagna (rising sign). When the 6th house and so on is to be added, add that sahama plus five signs.
Simple meaning: Another view: put the relative's sahama in place of the lagna; for the 6th house, add that sahama plus five signs.
सहमाध्यायः
तदेतत्स्पष्टमुक्तं मुक्तावल्याम् ॥अभीष्टसद्मानि शुभाशुभार्थं पित्रादिकानां विदधीत धीमान् ॥प्रोक्तप्रकारैस्तनुवत् स्वसद्मसंयोजनेनेति गुरोर्मतं मे इति ॥
This is said clearly in the Muktavali. The wise one should work the wanted sahamas (special points for one life topic) of father and other relatives, to learn their good or bad. Use the ways told. Add their own house, as the lagna (rising sign) is added. This is my teacher's view.
Simple meaning: Sahamas for a father or other relative: work them as before, but add the relative's own house where the lagna is added.
Verse 4.10 says that by day it is the lagna minus the Sun plus the Moon, and by night the lagna minus the Moon plus the Sun.
Verse 4.133 says to work out all sahamas in the birth chart first, judge the strength of each lord and sahama, and look in the year only at those strong in every way.
No. Verse 4.231 says to fit the result to the person. Do not tell a two-year-old child about marriage or children, even if the chart allows it.
