Chapter 8 · Month Chart and Monthly Results
मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अत्र चंद्रो लग्नाज्जन्मराशेर्वा अष्टमगस्तदावस्थाफलं विपरीतं ज्ञेयमित्युक्तं ताजिकसारे ॥छिद्रोपगो रात्रिपतिर्विलग्नाद्वयस्तं फलं वा जनिभाद्विलोक्यमिति ॥
Here it is said in the Tajikasara: Say the Moon is in the 8th from the lagna (rising sign). Or it is in the 8th from the birth sign. Then know the result of the avastha (state) as reversed. The Moon, lord of night, may be in the 8th from the lagna, or from the birth sign. Then the result should be seen as reversed.
Simple meaning: Moon in the 8th from the lagna or from the birth sign: the result of its state is reversed.
छिद्रगत्वं षडंशस्थागतस्याप्युपलक्षणमितिकेचित् ॥
Some say the rule for the 8th also covers the sixth part.
अशुभावस्थापवादमाह वामनः ॥
A hard state of the Moon gives good when the Moon is in a good part.
अथ दिनप्रवेशे भोजनविचारः ॥ वामनः ॥
Meals on the day entry: place the day's lagna in a chart and judge meals from the planets of that moment.
