Chapter 2 · The Twelve Houses
भावफलाध्यायः
वाक्स्थानेशोगुरुर्वाव्ययरिपुविलयस्थानगोवाग्विहीनश्चैवंपित्रादिकानांपतयइहयुतामूकतास्याच्चताभ्याम् ॥वागीशात्पंचमेशस्त्रिकभवनगतःपुत्रधर्मांगनाथारंध्रेद्वेष्यांतिमस्थायदिजनुषिनृणामात्मजानामभावः ॥ १२ ॥
The 5th house is the house of speech. Its lord or Jupiter may be in the 12th, 6th or 8th house. Then the person may have poor speech. In the same way, the lords of the father's and other houses may join these two. Then there may be dumbness. The lord of the 5th from Jupiter may be in the 6th, 8th or 12th house. Or the lords of the 5th, 9th and 1st houses may be in the 8th, 6th or 12th. Then the person may have no children.
Simple meaning: 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.
कुंभेचेत्पंचपुत्रास्तदनुचमकरेनंदनेप्यात्मजाःस्युस्तिस्रोभौमःसुतानांत्रितयमथसुतादायकोरौहिणेयः ॥
The number of children depends on the planet and sign of the 5th house. Some give five sons, some daughters.
पापोवावासवेज्यःसुखभवनगतःपंचमेवाष्टमेवाशीतांशुःसंततेःस्यात्खगुणमितसमातुल्यएवप्रबंधः ॥
Some placements may hold back children for years. Each unaided bad planet in the 5th adds a year of delay.
