भावफलाध्यायः
विद्यास्थानाधिपोवाबुधगुरुसहितश्चेत्रिकेवर्तमानोविद्याहीनोनरःस्यादथनवमनिजक्षेत्रकेंद्रेषुतद्वान् ॥बालत्वंवृद्धतावायदिगगनसदांजन्मकालेतदास्यात्प्रज्ञामांद्यंनराणामथयदिविहगःस्वर्क्षगोदोषहृत्स्यात् ॥ ११ ॥
The 5th lord, alone or with Mercury and Jupiter, may be in the 6th, 8th or 12th house. Then the person may lack learning. If it is in the 9th house, its own sign or a corner house, he has learning. At birth, planets may be in their child state or old state. Then the mind may be slow. But if the planet is in its own sign, it removes this fault.
Simple meaning: The 5th lord in a bad house may mean little learning. In a good house it gives learning.
वाक्स्थानेशोगुरुर्वाव्ययरिपुविलयस्थानगोवाग्विहीनश्चैवंपित्रादिकानांपतयइहयुतामूकतास्याच्चताभ्याम् ॥
The 5th lord or Jupiter in a bad house may harm speech. Child lords in bad houses may deny children.
किंचित्कालंविलंबःशुभखगसहितास्तेथकर्केसुतर्क्षेचंद्रेकन्याप्रजावान्प्रमिततनयवांश्चाथदेवेंद्रपूज्यात् ॥
Good planets bring children after some delay. A bad planet in the 5th may deny children.

The number of children depends on the planet and sign of the 5th house. Some give five sons, some daughters.
