Chapter 6 · Mother and Home: the 4th House
चतुर्थविवेकः
रात्रौ चन्द्रात् त्रिकोणे मन्दे मातृवधः ।
Say the person is born at night. Saturn is in a trikona (luck house) from the Moon. Then the mother dies.
सुखे शुभे कारके शुभयुते बलाढ्ये वा सुखे मातुर्दीर्घायुः ।
Say a good planet is in the 4th house. The karaka (the planet that stands for a thing) [for the mother] is joined by good planets. Or say the 4th…
चन्द्रे बलाढ्ये वा शुक्रे शुभयुतदृष्टे मातुर्दीर्घायुः ।
Say the Moon is strong. Or say Venus is joined or aspected by good planets. Then the mother lives long.
शुक्रे वा चन्द्रे शुभांशे केन्द्रे मातुर्दीर्घायुः ।
Say Venus or the Moon is in a good planet's navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). It is in a kendra (corner house). Then the mother lives long.
