Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
जीर्णताजिके ॥दशमाधीश्वरस्सूर्यो जन्मकालेब्दवेशने ॥दशमस्थो विलग्नेशेत्थशाली राज्यदायकः ॥
The Sun may be the lord of the 10th at birth. At the year's entry he stands in the 10th, in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with the lagna (rising sign) lord. Then he gives rule.
Simple meaning: Sun as birth 10th lord, in the 10th at the start of the year and in ithasala with the lagna lord: rule.
पापार्दितो नष्टबलो राज्येशो राज्यनाशदः ॥
10th lord hurt by bad planets and weak: loss of rule. Saturn with Mars, not in charge: confusion.
तेजास्सिंहः ॥
Birth lagna lord and birth 10th lord trading roles in the year, strong: a post. All houses are judged this way.
व्योमाब्दपेब्दजनुषोश्च हतेव्ययाष्टद्विस्थे शुभे इह हि नान्यशुभेपि योगे ॥
Tenth house: the 10th lord and year lord struck and in the 12th, 8th or 2nd; or the sahama lord in the 10th with Saturn: work suffers.
