Chapter 2 · The Twelve Houses
भावफलाध्यायः
किंचित्कालंविलंबःशुभखगसहितास्तेथकर्केसुतर्क्षेचंद्रेकन्याप्रजावान्प्रमिततनयवांश्चाथदेवेंद्रपूज्यात् ॥क्रूरश्चेत्पंचमस्थःसुतभवनगतःस्यात्तदापत्यहीनश्छायापुत्रःस्वगेहाद्यदिभवतिसुतेसूनुरेकस्तदानीम् ॥ १३ ॥
If they are with good planets, children may come after some delay. The Moon may be in Cancer as the 5th house. Then the person may have daughters and only a few sons. A bad planet may be in the 5th from Jupiter and in the 5th house. Then the person may have no children. If Saturn is in the 5th house counted from its own sign, there may be one son.
Simple meaning: 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.
तत्प्राप्तिर्धर्ममूलातदनुबुधकवीशंकरस्याभिषेकाच्चंद्रश्चेत्तद्वदेवत्रिदिवपतिगुरुर्मंत्रयंत्रौषधीनाम् ॥
Children come from good deeds. Worship and rites for the blocking planet, done as scriptures teach, bring success.
