Jataka Tattva · by Mahadeva
Chapter 7 · Mind, Learning and Children: the 5th House
पञ्चमविवेकः
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 gained.
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.
सुतेशे नीचे धर्मेशेऽङ्गे ज्ञकेतू पुत्रे कष्टात्पुत्राप्तिः ।
Say the 5th lord is at its low point. Say the 9th lord is in the 1st house. Say Mercury and Ketu are in the 5th house. Then a son is gained, but…
पापो जीवो वा तुर्ये सुते षष्ठे चन्द्रे त्रिंशद्वर्षोर्ध्वे सन्ततिः ।
Say a bad planet or Jupiter is in the 4th or 5th house. Say the Moon is in the 6th house. Then children come after the age of thirty.
