सूतिकातत्वम्
नृलग्ने मन्दे कुजदृष्टे श्मशाने सितेन्दुदृष्टे रमणीयगृहे गुरुदृष्टेऽग्निशालायां रविदृष्टे नरेन्द्रामरालयगोकुलान्यतमे ज्ञदृष्टे शिल्पालये जन्म ।
Say the lagna (rising sign) is a human sign and Saturn is in it. If Mars aspects Saturn, the birth is in a cremation ground. If Venus and the Moon aspect it, the birth is in a lovely house. If Jupiter aspects, it is in a room for the sacred fire. If the Sun aspects, it is in a king's palace, a temple or a cow pen. If Mercury aspects, it is in a craftsman's workshop.
मन्दाराभ्यां पञ्चमेऽस्तेऽङ्के चन्द्रे मात्रा त्यज्यते गुरुदृष्टे तु चन्द्रे दीर्घायुः ।
Say the Moon is in the 5th, 7th or 9th house counted from Saturn and Mars. Then the mother leaves the child. If Jupiter aspects the Moon, the child…
पापदृष्टे चन्द्रेऽङ्गेऽस्ते भौमे मात्रा त्यक्तो विनश्यति ।
Say the Moon is in the lagna (rising sign) and a malefic aspects it. Mars is in the 7th house. Then the mother leaves the child and the child dies.
पापदृष्टेऽङ्गे चन्द्रे मन्दारौ लाभे मातृत्यक्तो विनश्यति ।
Say a malefic aspects the Moon in the lagna (rising sign). Saturn and Mars are in the 11th house. Then the mother leaves the child and the child dies.
