द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
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.
भावविचारे विशेषमाह यादवः ॥
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…
अन्योपि विशेष उक्तो हायनसुंदरे ॥
Lagna lord joined with a house lord helps that house. Joined with the 8th lord, he harms it.
अथ लग्नेशो यद्भावस्वामिना सहेत्थशालं करोति तद्भावसम्बन्धिपदार्थानां वर्षे लाभसुखादिकं वाच्यम् । तत्रापि मणऊखल्लासरहद्दयोगादिसंभवे इत्थशालफलं न वाच्यम् ॥ एवमित्थशालासंभवेपि यमयानक्ततंबीरयोगादौ फलं ग्रंथोक्तं वाच्यमिति भावविचाराध्यायानुक्तमपि ज्ञेयम् ॥
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.
