सूतिकातत्वम्
मीनाजाङ्गे द्वे गोघटाङ्गे चतस्रः कर्कहयाङ्गे पञ्च शेषे तिस्र उपसूतिकाः ।
Say the lagna (rising sign) is Pisces or Aries. There are two midwives. For Taurus or Aquarius there are four. For Cancer or Sagittarius there are five. For the other lagnas there are three.
गोजाश्वियुग्मसिंहाङ्गे बहुरुदितो जातोऽन्यथा न ।
Say the lagna (rising sign) is Taurus, Aries, Gemini or Leo. Then the child cries a great deal at birth. It is not so otherwise.
अङ्गे चन्द्रे ग्रहमात्रादृष्टे निर्जने प्रसवः ।
Say the Moon is in the lagna (rising sign) and no planet aspects it. Then the birth is in a lonely place.
खाम्बुगेषु शुभेषु सुखेन प्रसवस्त्रिकोणास्तगेषु पापेषु कष्टतः ।
Say benefics are in the 10th and 4th houses. Then the birth is easy. Say malefics are in the 5th, 9th and 7th houses. Then the birth is hard.
