Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
लाभालाभं सुखं दुःखं शत्रुमित्रैश्च संगमम् ॥वर्षकाले यदा चान्द्रिः सहमे कुरुते नृणाम् ॥ ४ ॥
Gain and loss, comfort and pain, and meeting with both enemies and friends. In the year, this is what Mercury brings people when he is in the sahama (special point for one life topic).
Simple meaning: Mercury (3rd-house list; our text says 'in the sahama'): gain and loss, comfort and pain, and meeting friends and enemies.
तृतीयेऽल्पसुखं लाभं सुहृद्बंधुसमागमम् ॥
Jupiter in the 3rd house: a little comfort, gain, friends and kin, and comfort from wife and service.
तृतीयेल्पसुखं पुंसां धनव्यय उपद्रवः ॥
Venus in the 3rd house: little comfort, spending of money, trouble and quarrels with relatives.
सर्वदुःखादिमोक्षश्च राजमानन्धनागमम् ॥
Saturn in the 3rd house: sorrows end, honour and money come.
