धनविवेकः
एकभस्थौ पुष्पवन्तावन्योन्यांशगौ सदा दरिद्री ।
Say the Sun and Moon are in one sign. Say each is in the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of the other. Then the person is always poor.
पुष्पवन्तौ घटे शेषा नीचर्क्षगा राजपुत्रोऽपि दरिद्री ।
Say the Sun and Moon are in Aquarius. Say the other planets are in their nicha (low point). Then even a king's son is poor.
ज्ञेन्द्वारयमा नीचगा मृगे शुक्रे राजपुत्रोऽपि दरिद्री ।
Say Mercury, the Moon, Mars and Saturn are in their nicha (low point). Say Venus is in Capricorn. Then even a king's son is poor.
नीचेऽर्के कोणे रन्ध्रे भौमे राजपुत्रोऽपि दरिद्री ।
Say the Sun is in its nicha (low point) in the 5th or 9th house. Say Mars is in the 8th. Then even a king's son is poor.
