संज्ञातत्वम्
सर्वग्रहेभ्योऽधिकांशादिनाऽऽत्मकारकस्ततः क्रमेण न्यूनांशा अमात्यभ्रातृमातृपितृपुत्रज्ञातिदारकारकाः ।
The planet with the most degrees of all is the atmakaraka (the planet that stands for the self). The others follow in order of fewer degrees. Each is the karaka (the planet that stands for a thing) of one person. In order they stand for the minister, brother, mother, father, child, relatives and wife.
अंशशब्देनात्मकारकनवांशः ।
Take the atmakaraka (the planet that stands for the self). Here the word amsha means its navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign).
ओजर्क्षे क्रमाद्बालकुमारयुववृद्धमृताख्या अवस्थाः समर्क्षे व्यत्ययः ।
In an odd sign, a planet's avastha (state of a planet) runs in this order: child; boy; young; old; dead. In an even sign the order is reversed.
द्वादशांशादंशषट्केऽवस्थितः पूर्णफलदः ।
A planet standing in the six degrees that follow the twelfth degree gives full results.
