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.
