लग्ननन्दांशपतुल्याकारो वा वीर्याधिकग्रहतुल्यतनुः ।
The person's form is like the lord of the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of the lagna (rising sign). Or the body is like the planet with the most strength.
आत्मकारके सबले शुभं जन्म ।
Say the atmakaraka (the planet that stands for the self) is strong. Then the birth is good.
चन्द्राक्रान्तनवांशपवर्णः ।
The person's colour is that of the lord of the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) where the Moon stands.
सूर्यो यस्य त्रिंशांशे तद्गुणभाक् ।
Say the Sun stands in the trimshamsha (one-thirtieth part of a sign) of a planet. Then the person takes on that planet's qualities.
