Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
मध्यपे सशुभे राज्यं राज्यभ्रंशस्सपापके ॥पदावाप्तिर्भवेच्छीर्षोदये लग्ने शुभान्विते ॥
If the lord of mid-sky the 10th lord is with good planets, there is rule. If it is with bad planets, there is loss of rule. When a shirshodaya (head-first rising sign) is the lagna (rising sign), with good planets, a post is gained.
Simple meaning: 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.
लग्नेशदशमपत्योस्स्नेहदृशा स्याच्छुभश्चित्तम् ॥
The king's mind: friendly look of the lagna and 10th lords is good, a hostile look is the reverse, no look is middling.
अन्यत्रापि ॥
The king's mind by the rising sign: Taurus, Libra or Scorpio: the master is fond; Virgo: middling.
