दशमविवेकः
भद्रायां व्यतीपाते क्रान्तीपाते जन्मनि व्यर्था राजयोगाः ।
Say the person is born in vishti (bad half of a moon day). Or in vyatipata (a bad Sun and Moon yoga). Or in kranti pata (a bad time of equal Sun and Moon declination). Then the royal combinations come to nothing.
परमनीचांशे चन्द्रे व्यर्था राजयोगाः ।
Say the Moon is at its deepest debilitation point. Then the royal combinations come to nothing.
उच्चगाः खेटाः नीचांशगाः व्यर्था राजयोगाः ।
Say planets are in their exalted signs but in the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of debilitation. Then the royal combinations come to nothing.
उच्चेऽर्के नीचांशे राजपुत्रोऽपि नीचतां गच्छति ।
Say the Sun is exalted but in a debilitation navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). Then even a king's son will come down to a low rank.
