Vamana says: Mercury at full strength brings comfort and wealth through service. It brings gain of money and great fame. Through one's own wits, it brings gain of a kingdom.

Mercury's period with lost strength (Vamana): moving from place to place, injury, family loss, trouble from poor thinking.
माननाशं महाकष्टं धनहानिम्महद्भयम् ॥
Mercury's period at low strength (Vamana): loss of honour, hardship, money loss, fear and quarrels at home.
