मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
विभौमगेहे च कुजे नभस्थे जीवज्ञदृष्टे मृगया गरीयसी ॥बुधस्य जीवस्य गृहे नभस्थे लग्नेथ गुर्वी मृगया तदा भवेत् ॥
Mars may be in the 10th, in a sign not its own (vibhaumagehe). Jupiter and Mercury may look at it. Then the hunt would be greater. Mars may be in a sign of Mercury or Jupiter, in the 10th or in the lagna (rising sign). Then the hunt would be great.
Simple meaning: Hunting: Mars in the 10th, out of its own sign, looked at by Jupiter and Mercury, a big hunt; Mars in their signs in the 10th or lagna, also big.
जामित्रनाथे हि बुधे नभस्थे चाखेटकः स्वल्पतरोपि न स्यात् ॥
Hunting: Mercury as 7th lord in the 10th, no hunt; in the 7th with strength, a big one; elsewhere, small.
अथ जलाखेटकप्रश्ने ॥

अथाखेटके दिननक्षत्रवशेन फलमुक्तं ॥ भूपालवल्लभे ॥
