Jataka Tattva · Chapter 9
सप्तमविवेकः
This chapter is about 7th house marriage and the wife. It has 167 sutras.
It opens with courage in battle, read from the same house. It then tells what the chart says of the number of marriages. It describes the wife, her nature and her care for her husband. It also treats habits in love, and how a marriage may be lost. Each rule rests on the 7th lord, Venus and the looks on them.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
