नवमविवेकः
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.
मन्दत्र्यंशे वा मन्दारांशे चन्द्रे मन्दमात्रदृष्टे संन्यासी ।
Say the Moon is in Saturn's drekkana (one-third part of a sign). Or say it is in the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of Saturn or Mars. Say only…
लग्नपमन्दौ बलहीनौ संन्यासी ।
Say the lagna (rising sign) lord and Saturn are both weak. Then the person will become a renunciant.
