Chapter 2 · Birth and Childhood
सूतिकातत्वम्
स्थिरेऽर्केऽष्टमाङ्गायान्त्ये चन्द्रेण चादृष्टेऽङ्गे स्वदेशस्थपितुः परोक्षं जन्म ।
Say the Sun is in a fixed sign. It is in the 8th house, the lagna (rising sign), the 11th or the 12th. The Moon does not aspect the lagna. Then the person is born while the father, who lives in his own country, is out of sight.
चरेऽर्के तु प्राग्वज्जातस्य पितरि विदेशं गते जन्म ।
Say the Sun is in a movable sign. Then, as before, the person is born while the father has gone to a foreign land.
मन्देऽङ्गे वाऽस्ते भौमे पितुः परोक्षं जन्म ।
Say Saturn is in the lagna (rising sign), or Mars is in the 7th house. Then the person is born while the father is out of sight.
ज्ञाच्छान्तरे चन्द्रेऽपि ।
The same happens when the Moon is between Mercury and Venus.
