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
आधिव्याधी तापमांद्ये सपिण्डा बन्धवाः स्मृताः ॥सत्यालीकं वणिग्वृत्तिराधानं प्रसवः स्मृतः ॥दासत्वं परकर्मोक्तमन्यत् स्पष्टं स्वनामत इति ॥
Tapa means pain of the mind. Mandya means illness of the body. Bandhu means sapinda (kin of the same rice-ball offering). Vanik means making a living by true and false dealing. Prasava is held to be conception. Parakarma (work for others) is said to be servitude. The rest are clear from their own names.
Simple meaning: Sahama names explained: mental pain and illness, close kin, trade, conception, servitude. The others are clear from their names.
Here ends the fourth chapter, on the sahamas (special point for one life topic), in the Hayanaratna. It was written by Balabhadra, son of the revered Damodara, best of astrologers and a learned pandit.
Simple meaning: End of chapter 4, on the sahamas, in the Hayanaratna by Balabhadra.
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.
