दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
वीर्योज्झितस्त्रिसमये बहुदुःखदायी यावद्बलं तु खचरस्य फलं तु तावत् ॥यावन्त्यहान्यधिगतस्सदृशो बलीयान् ॥ तावंति चैव सुफलस्तु स चाब्दवीर्यात्॥
A planet without strength at all three times gives much sorrow. A planet gives results only as far as its strength goes. For as many days as it holds matching strength, for that many it gives good results. This is judged from its strength in the year.
Simple meaning: Weak at birth, in the year and in the period: much sorrow. Results follow the planet's strength.
आधारमिन्दुजबलं निखिलग्रहाणामाहुर्बलस्य खलु दैवविदः पुराणाः ॥
Moon's strength in the periods: it is the base of all planets' strength. Good or bad period results follow it.
अथ दशाफलविचारे विशेषमाहसमरसिंहः ॥
Year lord rules the year's periods: tell its results by its own nature.
तेजःसिंहोपि ॥
Year lord rules all the year's periods: good or bad by its strength at birth, in the year and in the period.
