Jataka Tattva · Chapter 4
धनविवेकः
This chapter is about 2nd house wealth. It has 135 sutras.
It reads riches from the lord of the 2nd house, the 11th house and the rising sign. It tells how wealth is gained and how it may be lost. It also names the chart signs of poverty. Many rules weigh the strength of the lords and the planets that join them.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
