नवमविवेकः
तापसः कापालिको रक्तपट आजीवी त्रिदण्डी चक्रधरो नग्नः सूर्यादितः ।
The kinds go in order from the Sun onward. They are a penance-doer, a skull-bearer and a red-robed monk. Then an Ajivika (follower of an old wandering sect), a triple-staff monk, a wheel-bearer and a naked ascetic.
अस्तगास्तु तद्भक्तिमात्रम् ।
Planets that are set in the Sun's rays bring only devotion to that kind of ascetic life.
प्रव्रज्याकरे पराजिते प्रव्रज्याभ्रष्टः ।
Say the planet that gives the ascetic life is defeated. Then the person will fall away from the ascetic life.
जन्मेशे मन्दमात्रदृष्टे प्रव्रज्याभ्रष्टः ।
Say the lord of the Moon's birth sign is aspected by Saturn alone. Then the person will fall away from the ascetic life.
