Jataka Tattva · Chapter 12
दशमविवेकः
This chapter reads 10th house career and standing. It has 204 sutras.
It tells how work goes well or badly, and how honour and name are won. It also reads the father and joy from him. Most of the chapter then lists combinations for kings and for people of great standing. It ends with the signs that undo those combinations.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
