द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
यादवः ॥यानाद्यं विबलबलानुसारिवेद्यं मुन्थायामशुभशुभर्क्षखेटभाजि ॥स्वोच्चाब्दे किसिम पतौ जनुर्नवेशे मार्गेशादपि सहमाश्च चिन्त्यमेवम् ॥
Journeys and the like are known by weakness and strength. This is when the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is in a bad or good sign, or with bad or good planets. Judge the same way when the kisima (days that bring its arrival) lord is in his own or high sign in the year. Judge the 9th lord at birth too, and from the road lord. The sahamas (special points for one life topic) are to be judged in this way too. (Our text is unclear here: what the kisima lord is, and how the second line joins the first.)
Simple meaning: Journeys: judged by weak or strong planets, and by the muntha's sign and planets. The kisima lord, the birth 9th lord, the road lord and the sahamas are judged the same way.
ताजिकतिलके ॥
Moon in the 7th from the muntha, moving through its own or high signs: a journey. For a journey to earn wealth, judge by the strength of the Punya…
अथ यात्रायां दिग्ज्ञानमुक्तं रोमकेण ॥
Direction of travel by the sign's element: fire east, earth south, air west, water north.
अत्र यात्रायोगकारकाणां ग्रहणाम्मध्ये यो बलवांस्तदधिष्ठितराशौ गमनं वाच्यम् ॥ बलसाम्ये तन्मध्ये केंद्रस्थग्रहाधिष्ठितराशौ गमनं स्वाच्यम् ॥ तदभावेपि नवमभावराशिदिग्गमनं वाच्यमिति विशेषः ॥
Go toward the sign of the strongest journey planet. If equal, the one in a corner house. If none, toward the 9th house's sign.
