Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
लग्ननाथो राशिनाथः केंद्रनाथोथ भावपः ॥उदेति यत्र मासे च तन्मासे तत्सुखं बहु॥
The lagna (rising sign) lord, the sign lord, the lord of a kendra (corner house), or a house lord may rise. In the month when one rises, in that month there is much comfort of that house.
Simple meaning: In the month when the lagna lord, sign lord, corner-house lord or house lord rises, there is much comfort.
उदितावुत्तमे भागे राशिलग्नपती स्थितौ॥
Sign lord and lagna lord risen in the best part, or good planets in corner houses: the best result.
यस्मिन् गेहे लग्नपतिस्तदीशः स्याच्छुभे गृहे ॥
The lord of the sign where the lagna lord stands: in a good house, a good work succeeds. Otherwise not.
नीचस्थिते चास्तमिते अशुभर्क्षस्थिते तथा ॥
If the lord of the lagna lord's sign is at its low point, set or in a bad sign, the work turns out badly.
