Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
क्रूरेसराफं क्रूरदृशा लग्नेशाब्देशयोःसहजेशनेसराफयोगे मंदर्क्षगे १० । ११ मृतिबुधे कुजर्क्षे सहजे शुभैः युतेक्षिते सोदराणां मिथः सौख्यं बहु ॥
A harsh israpha (planets moving apart after an aspect) means one with the look of a harsh planet. It is an israpha of the lagna (rising sign) lord and the year lord with the 3rd lord. A planet in a sign of Saturn (10, 11)... Mercury may be in a sign of Mars, in the 3rd house. If good planets join or look at it, brothers have much comfort among themselves. (Our text is unclear here: the word 'mriti' after Saturn's signs; Tajika Nilakanthi 11.6 has Mars there.)
Simple meaning: 3rd house: a harsh israpha is the lagna or year lord moving apart from the 3rd lord under a harsh look. Mercury in a Mars sign in the 3rd, with good planets: much comfort among brothers.
वीर्यान्वितेन्दुगृहगो भृगुजोऽधिकारी सूत्यब्दपोः सहजबंधुगणस्य वृद्ध्यै ॥
Venus in charge, in a strong Moon's sign: brothers and kin grow.
अत्र तेजःसिंहेन ग्रहाणां स्थानान्युक्तानि स्थाने कुजशुक्रे इति
Tejahsimha names the places of the planets, Mars and Venus.
जीर्णताजिके ॥
Mercury and Venus as lords of birth and year lagna, strong in the 3rd: comfort from brothers. Same for Jupiter.
