Jataka Tattva · by Mahadeva
Chapter 11 · The 9th House, Merit and Worship
नवमविवेकः
धर्मपे पापयुते वा क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे वा पापान्तरे पातकी ।
Say the 9th lord is joined with a bad planet. Or it is in a cruel shashtyamsha (one-sixtieth part of a sign) division. Or it lies between bad planets. Then the person is a sinner.
मन्दतमसी धर्मे गुलिकदृष्टेऽतिपापी ।
Say Saturn and Rahu are in the 9th house. Gulika (son of Saturn, a shadow point) looks at them. Then the person is very sinful.
सराहुचन्द्रे सपापगुरुदृष्टेऽतिपातकी ।
Say the Moon is with Rahu. Jupiter looks at it, and Jupiter is with a bad planet. Then the person is very sinful.
व्यये मन्दे गुप्तदोषी व्यसनी च ।
Say Saturn is in the 12th house. Then the person has hidden faults and bad habits.
