Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
चूडामणौ ॥लग्नेशस्स्वोच्चनाथेन तुङ्गादिस्थेन वीक्षितः ॥अभीष्टपदलाभाय लग्ने लग्नेश्वरे तथा ॥
In the Chudamani: The lagna (rising sign) lord may be looked at by the lord of its own uchcha (high point). That lord stands in its own high point or the like. This is for gaining the wished-for post. It is the same when the lagna lord is in the lagna.
Simple meaning: Tenth house question, a post: lagna lord looked at by the lord of its high-point sign, or the lagna lord in the lagna: the wished-for post.
सौम्यस्वामियुते दृष्टे पदप्राप्तिस्स्थिरे तथा॥
A post: the lagna lord with a good lord's look, or in a fixed sign: gain of a post. In Scorpio only a little.
उदिते राज्यपे राज्यं चरवर्ज्यं शुभग्रहैः ॥
A post: the 10th lord risen: rule, except in a moving sign. Good planets keep the post steady; bad ones lose it.
पदेशश्चेत्पदं पश्येत्पदं तस्य स्थिरं भवेत्॥
A post: the post's lord looking at the post, or the lagna lord and the post's lord looking at each other: the post stays steady.
