वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
पञ्चाधिकारिपतिभिर्मिथ इत्थशालैः केंद्रस्थितैर्बलयुतैर्नृपतिर्विधत्ते ॥यस्य प्रतापतुलितं हि रुषेव सूर्यम्प्रेंखत्तुरङ्गमरथोत्थितरेणुजालैः ॥
The lords of the five offices, the adhikari (the planets in charge), may be in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with each other. They may stand in kendras (corner houses) and be strong. Then he becomes a king. His power matches the Sun's. As if in anger, he hides the Sun with dust from his prancing horses and chariots.
Simple meaning: The five planets in charge in ithasala in corner houses and strong: a chance of kingship.
उत्तरतंत्रे ॥
Good, strong lords of the lagna and Moon sign in the 10th can bring a gain of rank.
लग्नाधिनाथेन हिमांशुना वा यदीत्थशालं कुरुतेम्बरेशः ॥
10th lord in ithasala with the lagna lord or Moon, and a good planet seeing the 10th: a gain of rank.
हिमांशुकर्माधिपलग्ननाथा मेषूरण १० स्थाश्शुभवीक्षिताश्च ॥
Moon, 10th lord and lagna lord in the 10th, with good planets in strong signs: a sure gain of rank.
