Chapter 2 · Birth and Childhood
सूतिकातत्वम्
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 lives long.
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.
मातापितृग्रहयोर्यो बली तत्सम्बन्धिगृहे जन्म ।
Take the planet for the mother and the planet for the father. See which is stronger. The birth is in the home of that parent.
