मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
संवित्प्रकाशे ॥चंद्रे स्वोच्चशुभस्वमित्रभवनस्थः सौम्यमित्रेक्षितो नीचारातिगृहादि ६ रंध्र ८ रहितस्थानस्थितो हर्षितः ॥पुष्टश्चैव निरीक्षितोखिलजयश्चेत्स्यात्समस्तं दिनं ज्ञेयोसौ दिवसोखिलोपि फलदः स्याद्वैपरीत्येन्यथा ॥
In the Samvitprakasha: Take the Moon in its own uchcha (high point). Or it is in a good planet's house, its own house or a friend's house. Say it is looked at by good planets or friends. Say it stands free from its nicha (low point), the enemy's house (the 6th) and the like, and the 8th. Say it is glad, strong and looked at, and gives full victory. If so, the whole day should be known as good. That whole day gives its fruit. In the opposite case, it is otherwise.
Simple meaning: A strong, well-placed Moon with help from good planets makes the whole day good. The opposite makes it otherwise.
अत्र दिनप्रवेशे लग्नादिनवांशफलमुक्तं ताजिकसारे ॥
Day entry: the lagna's navamsha with strong good planets and the Moon gives much happiness, wealth, rank and victory.
शुभखगैः सहितोथ विलोकितोः बहुसुखं प्रकरोति हिमांशुना ॥
Joined or looked at by good planets, with the Moon: much happiness, wealth, rank and victory.
बहुसुखं प्रकरोति धनं तदा सहजतश्च सुखं सहजांशके ॥
3rd navamsha: happiness from the 3rd house. The 4th navamsha is helped by good planets; the result follows in the next unit.
