Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
पदसिद्धिश्शुभैर्युक्ते पापयुक्ते पदच्युतिः ॥स्थिरोदये पदप्राप्तिश्शुभस्स्वामियुतेक्षिते ॥
When joined with good planets, there is success in the post. When joined with bad planets, there is loss of the post. With a fixed sign rising, there is gain of a post, joined or looked at by a good lord.
Simple meaning: A post: with good planets success, with bad planets loss; a fixed sign rising and a good lord's look gives a post.
इत्थमेव पदस्थाने सा स्वल्पाकिंतु वृश्चिके ॥
A post: the 10th place works the same, but Scorpio gives little. Lagna and 10th lords with the Moon give results.
मध्यपे सशुभे राज्यं राज्यभ्रंशस्सपापके ॥
A post: the 10th lord with good planets gives rule; with bad planets loses it. A head-first sign rising with good planets gives a post.
समरसिंहः ॥
Tenth house question: the 10th lord looks at the lagna: gain from the king. The king's mind is also read from the chart.
