The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
॥ श्रीगणेशाय नमः ॥ अथ तन्वादिद्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः ॥
Salutation to Shri Ganesha. Now begins the chapter on judging the twelve houses, starting with the body house.
Simple meaning: Chapter on the twelve houses: how to judge each house, starting from the 1st.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
उक्तञ्च यादवेन ॥भावम्परस्यानधिगम्य धीमान्दृष्टेपि वक्तुं सहिताहितं क्षमः ॥तथैव तत्त्वादिकभावजातं शुभाशुभन्तद्विवृणोम्यथाहम् ॥
Even without grasping another person's bhava (inner state), a wise person who has seen [the chart] is able to tell what is good or harmful for him. In the same way, I now explain the group of houses that begins with 'tattva', with their good and bad results. (Our text is unclear here: the houses are said to begin with 'tattva', where the chapter title names the body house.)
Simple meaning: Introduction: even without knowing another's mind, a wise person who sees the chart can tell his good and bad. The houses and their good and bad results come next.
Verse 6.6 says a friend of the house lord who joins or looks at the house lets it give its own results. An enemy of the house lord takes those results away.
Verse 6.71 says growth, comfort, success in trade, fame, and happiness from the wife, with enemies falling.
Verse 6.690 says Venus in the 11th house tends to bring gain, gold and victory among people, and children grow.

द्वादशभावानां संज्ञा समरसिंहेनोक्ता ॥तनु १ धन २ सहज ३ सुहृत् ४ सुत ५ रिपु ६ जाया ७ मृत्यु ८ धर्म ९ कर्मा १० याः ११ ॥व्यय १२ इति भावा द्वादश कार्यस्थानानि लग्नाद्या इति ॥
The names of the twelve houses are told by Samarasimha. Tanu (body) 1, Dhana (wealth) 2, Sahaja (born together) 3, Suhrit (friend) 4, Suta (child) 5, Ripu (enemy) 6. Jaya (wife) 7, Mrityu (death) 8, Dharma (duty) 9, Karma (work) 10, Aya (gain) 11, Vyaya (loss) 12. These are the twelve houses, the places of matters. They begin with the lagna (rising sign).
Simple meaning: Names of the 12 houses: body, wealth, brothers, friend, child, enemy, wife, the end, duty, work, gain, loss.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
यो भावस्स्वामिसौम्याभ्यां दृष्टो युक्तोयमेधते ॥पापदृष्टयुतो नाशो मिश्रैर्मिश्रफलं वदेत् ॥
Next, the general judging of the houses, as said in the Varsha Tantra. The same verse is in Tajika Nilakanthi 9.1, with our English meaning there.
Simple meaning: Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 9.1; see its meaning there.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
अत्र स्वामिशुभग्रहाणां युतौ दृष्टा वा तद्भावसंबन्धि स्वस्य सौख्यं कोर्थः ॥ तद्भावोक्तशुभपदार्थानां वृद्ध्या अशुभपदार्थानान्नाशेन च सुखम् ॥ पापैस्तद्भावोक्तोऽशुभपदार्थवृद्ध्या शुभपदार्थनाशेन च स्वस्य दुःखमेवम्मिश्रैः सौम्यपापैर्मिश्रं शुभमशुभञ्च ॥ तत्र सौम्याधिक्ये सुखाधिक्यन्दुष्टं फलं पापाधिक्ये दुःखाधिक्यशुभफलं ज्ञेयम् ॥ तुल्यत्वे क्रूरसौम्यानां बलाबलविवेकेन फलनिर्देशः ॥
Here the house lord and the good planets may join the house or look at it. Then the person has happiness in the matters of that house. What does this mean? The good things named for that house grow, and the bad things are destroyed. That gives happiness. With bad planets, the bad things named for that house grow. The good things are lost. That gives the person sorrow. In the same way, mixed planets, good and bad together, give a mixed result. There, if good planets are more, happiness is more. If bad planets are more, sorrow is more. When bad and good planets are equal, state the result by judging their strength and weakness. (Our text is unclear here: it adds 'a bad result' after more happiness and 'a good result' after more sorrow; the sense seems to need the reverse.)
Simple meaning: A house with its lord and good planets: happiness. Bad planets: sorrow. Mixed planets: a mixed result. When equal, judge by strength.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
अत्र भावेशमित्रग्रहेण दृष्टो युतो वा भावः स्वफलप्रदो वा ज्ञेयः ॥ भावेशशत्रुणा सौम्येनापि युतो दृष्टो वा भावः स्वफलनाशको ज्ञेयः ॥ भावाधीशोपि लग्नाद्भावाद्वा केंद्रगो भावशुभफलवृद्धिदः ॥ षष्ठाष्टमद्वादशस्थो भावफलनाशको ज्ञेय इति विशेषः ॥
Here a friend of the house lord may look at the house or join it. Know that the house then gives its own results. An enemy of the house lord may join it or look at it. This holds even for a good planet. Know that the house then loses its own results. The house lord may stand in a kendra (corner house) from the lagna or from the house itself. Then it increases the good result of the house. If it stands in the 6th, 8th or 12th, it destroys the result of the house. This is the special point.
Simple meaning: House lord's friends help the house. Its enemies hurt it. The lord in a corner house helps. The lord in the 6th, 8th or 12th spoils the house.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
भावनाथो यथा पश्येद्भावं कार्यकरस्स्मृतः ॥आक्रांतोपि च यः पश्येत्परतः कार्यसिद्धिकृदिति ॥
When the house lord looks at the house, he is said to make the work happen. Even one who is overpowered, if he looks at it, brings success in the work afterwards.
Simple meaning: A house lord that looks at its own house makes the work happen, even if overpowered.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
जीर्णताजिके ॥ अत्र विशेषो भगवता गर्गेणोक्तः ॥नीचस्थो रिपुगेहस्थो ग्रहो भावविनाशकृत् ॥उदासीनगृहे मध्यो मित्रस्वक्षेत्रिकोणगः ॥स्वोच्चगश्च ग्रहोवश्यं भाववृद्धिकरः स्मृत इति ॥
In the Jirna Tajika: here a special point was told by the blessed Garga. A planet in its nicha (low point), or in an enemy's house, destroys the house. A planet in a neutral's house gives a middle result. A planet in a friend's sign, its own sign, or a trikona (luck house) surely increases the house. So does a planet in its own uchcha (high point).
Simple meaning: Planet in its low point or an enemy's sign harms the house. In a friend's or own sign, or high point, it helps the house.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
षष्ठाष्टव्ययभावेषु विचारं वैपरीत्यमाह सत्याचार्य्यः ॥सौम्याः पुष्टिम्पापा विपर्यये संश्रिता ग्रहाः कुर्युः ॥मृत्यादिषु निधनान्ता रिपुभावेषूत्क्रमात्फलं दद्युरिति ॥
Satyacharya states the reverse way of judging the 6th, 8th and 12th houses. Good planets that stay in them bring growth. Bad planets bring the reverse. They give results in reverse order. This is in the houses that begin with the death house and end with the house of the end. It is also so in the enemy houses.
Simple meaning: Houses 6, 8 and 12: good planets reduce the house's trouble, and bad planets increase it. This is the reverse of other houses.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
अयमर्थः ॥ अष्टमस्थाः सौम्यां मृत्युहानिं कुर्वंति ॥ पापा मृत्युवृद्धिं कुर्वंति ॥ द्वादशे सौम्या व्ययहानिं क्रूरा व्ययवृद्धिं षष्ठभावस्थाः सौम्याः शत्रुहानिं क्रूराः शत्रुवृद्धिं कुर्वंतीति सत्याचार्यमतम्॥
This is the meaning. Good planets in the 8th house reduce the danger of death. Bad planets increase it. In the 12th, good planets reduce loss, and bad planets increase loss. Good planets in the 6th reduce enemies, and bad planets increase enemies. This is Satyacharya's view.
Simple meaning: Good planets in the 8th, 12th and 6th reduce harm, loss and enemies. Bad planets increase them. This is Satyacharya's view.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
षष्ठे सौम्याः शत्रुवृद्धिं क्रूराःशत्रुहानिं कुर्वंतीति ताजिककर्तृमतम् ॥ तदग्रे ग्रहाणां भावफले प्रकटीभविष्यति॥
The Tajika authors hold the opposite view on the 6th house. Good planets there increase enemies, and bad planets reduce enemies. This will become clear later, in the results of the planets in the houses.
Simple meaning: Tajika authors' view: good planets in the 6th increase enemies, bad planets reduce them. This is explained later.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
अत्र विशेषमाह समरसिंहः ॥जन्मनि यस्मिन् राशौ शुभोशुभो वा सवर्षलग्नेपि॥यदि भवति तदा पूर्णं शुभं यच्छति स्वधातुवशात् ॥
Here Samarasimha states a special point. Take a planet, good or bad, in some sign at birth. If it is in that same sign in the year lagna (rising sign) as well, it gives a full good result. This is by the force of its own dhatu (body tissue / state).
Simple meaning: Same sign at birth and in the year lagna: a planet, good or bad, gives full good, by its own nature.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
अत्र विशेषांतरमाह तेजस्सिंहः ॥लग्नप्रभृत्यखिलभावपतौ विनष्टे तद्भावजात्र विषयक्षतिरित्थमत्र ॥नष्टेरिपे रिपुरुजोपनयोन्त्यनाथे नार्थव्ययश्च मृतिपे मृतिहानिरित्थमिति ॥
Here Tejahsimha states another special point. When the lord of any house, from the lagna (rising sign) on, is destroyed, the matters born of that house are lost. When the lord of the 6th is destroyed, enemies and illness are removed. When the lord of the 12th is destroyed, there is no loss of money. When the lord of the 8th is destroyed, there is a fall in the danger of death.
Simple meaning: A destroyed house lord loses that house's matters. If the 6th lord is destroyed, enemies and illness go. If the 12th lord, no money loss. If the 8th lord, less danger.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
लग्न १ कर्मा१०स्त ७ तुर्या ४ य ११ सुतां ५ क ९ स्थो बली ग्रहः ॥यथादिमं विशेषेण सत्रिवित्तेषु १।१०।४।७।११।५।९। ३।२ चंद्रमाः ॥
Next, the mark of strong planets in the houses, said in the Samjna Tantra. The same verse is in Tajika Nilakanthi 1.58, with our English meaning there.
Simple meaning: Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 1.58; see its meaning there.

अत्र सर्वापेक्षया लग्नस्थो ग्रहो बली तस्माद्दशमस्थो हीनबलः ॥ एवं सर्वत्र द्वादशाष्टमषष्ठभावा गणितागता अधिष्ठितग्रहदीप्तांशानतिक्रम्य वर्तंते तदा शुभफलदा इति ॥ एवं शुभभावेषु ग्रहास्स्वदीप्तांशमध्येष्वत्यन्तं शुभाः ॥ तदतिक्रमे न्यूनफलदा इत्यनुक्तमपि ज्ञेयम् ॥
Here, of all, a planet in the lagna (rising sign) is strongest. A planet in the 10th is less strong. The order goes on in this way everywhere. Take the 12th, 8th and 6th houses as found by calculation. They may stand beyond the deepta degrees (the planet's orb of light) of the planets placed in them. Then they give good results. In the same way, planets in the good houses are very good inside their own deepta degrees. When they go beyond, they give a smaller result. This should be known, though it is not said.
Simple meaning: The lagna is the strongest place. Planets in 6, 8 and 12 give good results past their orb of light. In good houses they do best inside it.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
भावविचारे विशेषमाह यादवः ॥यद्यद्भावपतिर्ग्रहो जनुषि सोत्राब्देऽधिकारी बली तत्तत्प्राप्तिकरोथवा जनुषि यद्भावाधिपोब्दे स च॥पश्येत्तं स तथाविधो यदि च नो पश्येत्फलं स्वप्नवद्यः कश्चित्खचरो जनौ शरदि यद्भस्थोत्र तत्प्राप्तिद इति ॥
Yadava states a special point in judging the houses. A planet may be lord of a house at birth. It may also be the adhikari (the planet in charge) in this year, and strong. Then it brings the gain of that house. Or the planet that was lord of a house at birth may be so in the year too. It may look at that house. If it does not look at it, the result is like a dream. Any planet at all may stand in the same house at birth and in the year. It gives the gain of that house.
Simple meaning: A house lord at birth that is also the planet in charge this year, and strong, gives that house's gains. Without a look at the house, the result is like a dream.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
अन्योपि विशेष उक्तो हायनसुंदरे ॥यस्मिन् भावे भावनाथेन युक्तो लग्नस्वामी तस्य भावस्य वृद्धिम्॥कुर्यान्नित्यं मृत्युनाथेन युक्तो यस्मिन् भावे तस्य हानिं सदैवेति ॥
Another special point is told in the Hayanasundara. In whatever house the lagna (rising sign) lord is joined with that house's lord, he should always increase that house. In whatever house he is joined with the lord of the 8th, he always harms that house.
Simple meaning: Lagna lord joined with a house lord helps that house. Joined with the 8th lord, he harms it.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
अथ लग्नेशो यद्भावस्वामिना सहेत्थशालं करोति तद्भावसम्बन्धिपदार्थानां वर्षे लाभसुखादिकं वाच्यम् । तत्रापि मणऊखल्लासरहद्दयोगादिसंभवे इत्थशालफलं न वाच्यम् ॥ एवमित्थशालासंभवेपि यमयानक्ततंबीरयोगादौ फलं ग्रंथोक्तं वाच्यमिति भावविचाराध्यायानुक्तमपि ज्ञेयम् ॥
Now, the lagna (rising sign) lord may make an ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with the lord of some house. Then state gain, comfort and the like in the year, in the matters of that house. Even so, if manau (Mars or Saturn blocking the link of two planets), khallasara (the Moon with no link), hadda (a planet's own small part of a sign) yoga and the like arise, do not state the ithasala result. In the same way, there may be no ithasala. But yamaya (a slower planet linking two others), nakta (a faster planet linking two others), tambira (a planet passing light on at a sign end) and the like may be there. Then state the result told in the book. This should be known, though it is not said in the chapter on judging houses.
Simple meaning: Lagna lord in ithasala with a house lord gives that house's gains. Other links can cancel it, or give a result of their own.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
अत्र जातकवर्षप्रश्नादौ लग्नादिद्वादशभावाः साध्यास्ततो यत्रयत्र भावे यद्यद्वस्तु कथितं तत्तद्वस्त्वभिप्रायादि ग्रहयोगतो वाच्यम् ॥
Here the twelve houses from the lagna (rising sign) are to be worked out. This is done in a birth chart, a year chart, a question chart and the like. Then take each house and the matter told for it. State that matter, the wish behind it, and the rest, from the combinations of the planets.
Simple meaning: Work out the twelve houses in birth, year and question charts. Judge each house's matters from the planets' combinations.
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
उक्तं च चंडेश्वरेण ॥यद्यद्भावे तु यद्वस्तु कथितं यवनादिभिः ॥तत्कार्यसंज्ञमाख्यातं ततः प्रश्नादि चिंतयेत् ॥
And it is said by Chandeshvara. Whatever matter is told for a house by Yavana (foreign teachers) and others, that is called the matter of that house. From it, think about the question and the rest.
Simple meaning: Matters that Yavana and others named for a house are judged from that house.
Thus the general judging of the houses.
Simple meaning: This ends the general rules for the houses.

Now, in the special judging of the houses, first the body house. What should be thought of in the body house is told by Chandeshvara. Think of these in the 1st house. Health. Being honoured. Good qualities. Respect. Conduct. Length of life. Age. Faults and comfort from relatives. Troubles. Bodily form. Marks. Colour. Protection. And the wife of his sister's son.

There is protection of the limbs. There is comfort for the body of the sister's son's wife. Or there is joy through a festival, such as the sister's son's marriage. With bad planets, know everything the reverse. With mixed planets, know the result mixed, as before.

लग्नाधिपे पूर्णबलेतिसौख्यमारोग्यता कान्तिविवर्द्धनञ्च ॥अल्पं सुखम्मध्यबले विनष्टे कष्टं व्ययाष्टारिगतेल्पसौख्यम् ॥
Now the special combinations in the Tajikasara. When the lagna (rising sign) lord has full strength, there is great comfort, health and a growing glow. With middle strength, there is little comfort. When he is destroyed, there is trouble. In the 12th, 8th or 6th, there is little comfort.

अत्र वर्षलग्नेशो जन्मन्यपि पूर्णबलोपेक्षित इत्युक्तन्तेजस्सिंहेन ॥लग्नेश्वरेऽब्दजनुषोरपि पूर्णवीर्ये नीरोग्यतामतिमहत्त्ववपुस्सुखानि ॥लग्नेथ दृष्टसहिते विभुना शुभैर्वा भावेषु चैवमखिलेषु फलं विलोक्यम् ॥
Here Tejahsimha says that the year lagna (rising sign) lord also needs full strength at birth. The lagna lord may be fully strong in both the year and the birth. Then there is freedom from illness, great standing and comfort of the body. The lagna may also be looked at or joined by its lord, or by good planets. In all the houses the result should be seen in the same way.
