Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
अथ नवमभावविचारः ॥ तत्र नवमभावे किञ्चिन्तनीयमित्युक्तञ्चण्डेश्वरेण ॥स्वाध्यायदीक्षा सुरगेहयात्रा चक्रस्य चेष्टा मठधर्म्मकृत्यम् ॥गुरोस्तु कार्याद्यभिषेचनश्च जलाश्रयश्शालकदेवरादीन् ॥भ्रातुर्भगिन्याः श्वशुरस्य चिन्ता पुण्यश्च पुण्ये कथितम्महद्भिः ॥
Next, thought on the 9th house. Chandeshvara has told what is to be thought of in the 9th house. It is study and initiation. It is a journey to a god's house, the working of the wheel, and the duties of a monastery. It is the teacher's affairs and consecration. It is a water place. It is the wife's brother and the husband's brothers, and the like. It is thought about a brother, a sister and the wife's father. It is merit as well. The great ones have told it in the house of merit.
Simple meaning: Ninth house: study, initiation, temple journeys, monastery duties, the guru, water places, in-laws, brother, sister, and merit.
अत्रापि विचारः पूर्ववत् ॥
Ninth house: judged the same way as the earlier houses.
अथ योगाः ॥ वर्षतन्त्रे ॥
Strong Mars in the 3rd or 9th, with no bad planet: a good road, and moving work then steadies.
त्रिधर्म्मस्थोब्दपः सूर्यः कंबूलो मार्गसौख्यदः ॥
Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 17.2; see its meaning there.
