मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
दशमे राजमार्गात्तु लाभो पित्रादिना हतः ॥व्यये मूल्यात्तथा भुंक्ते तुर्य्यांशाद्भोज्यसंमितिम् ॥
In the 10th, the meal comes from the king's road. In labha (gain) the 11th, it is 'struck' by the father and the like. In the 12th, one eats by paying a price. The amount of food comes from the turyamsha (one-quarter part of a sign). (Our text is unclear here: the line on labha, 'struck by the father and the like', gives no clear meal rule.)
Simple meaning: Meals: the 10th, from the king's road; the 12th, a meal paid for; the amount from the quarter part.
चंद्रराशीश्वरं चंद्रः पश्येच्चेत्सुखभोजनम् ॥
Meals: the Moon looking at its sign lord, an easy meal; not looking, a hard meal with harsh words.
कालहोराधिपो लग्ने सुखे वा शीघ्रभोजनम् ॥
Meals: the hour lord in the lagna or 4th, a quick meal; in the 2nd or 4th, sweet food.
तुर्य्यं पश्यति लग्नं वा चंद्रस्तत्र सुभोजनम् ॥
Meals: the Moon looking at the 4th or lagna, a good meal; a good planet looking at the 10th, a pleasant meal at home.
