पञ्चमविवेकः
पुत्रेशांशेशेऽङ्गे लग्नेशांशेशे सुते पुत्राप्तिः ।
Say the lord of the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of the 5th lord is in the 1st house. Say the lord of the navamsha of the 1st lord is in the 5th. Then a son is gained.
जीवांशेशे केन्द्रे पुत्राप्तिः ।
Take the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of Jupiter. Say its lord is in the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th. Then a son is gained.
धर्माद्यसुतेशाः पारावतादिगाः शुभदृष्टाः पुत्राप्तिः ।
Say the 9th, 1st and 5th lords are in paravata amsha (a good rank of strength). A rank like it also counts. Good planets aspect them. Then a son is…
खभे सौम्याः सुते पापाः सुतसुखं विलंबात् ।
Say good planets are in the 10th house. Say bad planets are in the 5th house. Then the joy of children comes after a delay.
