Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
स्वगृहोच्चगते भौमे दशमस्थे स्याद्रणं प्रचुरम् ॥लग्नस्थे मध्यतरं द्यूनस्थे सद्मनि प्रचुरम् ॥
If Mars has gone to its own house or its exaltation and stands in the 10th, there is much war. In the lagna (rising sign) it is middling. Standing in the 7th, in the house sadman, much.
Simple meaning: Mars in its own or high sign: in the 10th, much war; in the lagna, middling; in the 7th, much.
लग्नद्यूनपती पापौ पापांशस्थौ तु युद्धदौ ॥
Lagna lord and 7th lord being bad planets in bad navamshas: war. The same two retrograde in a corner house: war. The 6th lord may also give war.
लग्नेशे द्यूनगेंत्ये वा वर्षे स्यात्तु पराजयः ॥
War: lagna lord in the 7th or 12th: defeat. 7th lord in the 6th: defeat for the enemy (one more condition is unclear).
लग्ने क्रूरे जयः प्रष्टुः सप्तमे विद्विषो जयः॥
A bad planet in the lagna: victory for the asker. In the 7th: victory for the enemy. With a bad planet's look: defeat.
