सहजविवेकः
वैशेषिकांशे सोत्थपे शुभयुतदृष्टे भ्रातृलाभः ।
Say the lord of the 3rd is in vaisheshika amsha (a good rank of strength). Good planets join or aspect it. Then the person gains through brothers.
सोत्थाङ्गेशौ मित्रे भ्रातृस्नेहः शत्रूचेद्वैरम् ।
Say the lords of the 3rd and of the lagna (rising sign) are friends. Then the person and his brothers love each other. If the two lords are enemies…
पुंभांशे सोत्थकारकेशौ पुंग्रहदृष्टौ भ्रातृलाभो वैपरीत्ये भगिनीलाभो मिश्रे उभयलाभः ।
Take the lord of the 3rd and the karaka (the planet that stands for a thing) of brothers. Say both are in male signs and navamshas. Male planets…
सोत्थराश्यंशवशाद् भ्रात्रादिसंख्या ।
The number of brothers and others comes from the 3rd house. Take its sign and its navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign).
