Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
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.
अत्र जातकवर्षप्रश्नादौ लग्नादिद्वादशभावाः साध्यास्ततो यत्रयत्र भावे यद्यद्वस्तु कथितं तत्तद्वस्त्वभिप्रायादि ग्रहयोगतो वाच्यम् ॥
Work out the twelve houses in birth, year and question charts. Judge each house's matters from the planets' combinations.
उक्तं च चंडेश्वरेण ॥
Matters that Yavana and others named for a house are judged from that house.
इति सामान्यतो भावविचारः ॥
This ends the general rules for the houses.
