Chapter 2 · The Twelve Houses
भावफलाध्यायः
कुंभेचेत्पंचपुत्रास्तदनुचमकरेनंदनेप्यात्मजाःस्युस्तिस्रोभौमःसुतानांत्रितयमथसुतादायकोरौहिणेयः ॥इत्थंकाव्यःशशांकोजनुषिचगुरुणाकेवलेनैवपुत्राःपंचस्युःकेतुराह्वोःक्रियवृषभवनेकर्कटेनोविलंबः ॥ १४ ॥
If the 5th house is Aquarius, there may be five sons. If it is Capricorn, there may be three daughters. Mars in the 5th gives three sons. Mercury may give daughters rather than sons. Venus and the Moon do the same. Jupiter alone gives five sons. If Ketu or Rahu is in Aries, Taurus or Cancer, there is no delay.
Simple meaning: 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.
षष्ठेशेपापयुक्तेतनुनिधनगतेनुःशरीरेव्रणाःस्युश्चादेश्यंतज्जनित्रीजनकसुतवधूबंधुमित्रादिकानाम् ॥
The 6th lord with a bad planet in the 1st or 8th may bring sores on the planet's body part.
