भावफलाध्यायः
योगानांस्यादमीषांप्रचुरबलयुतोयोधिपस्तद्दशायांलब्धिश्चांतर्दशायामथगुरुभृगुजौवाहनाधीशयुक्तौ ॥केंद्रेयानेत्रिकोणेत्वथगुरुकवियुग्वाहनस्थानगोवाभाग्याधीशःस्वराशौभवतिनरपतिर्वाहनव्यूहनाथः ॥ ३१ ॥
Of these combinations, the strongest lord gives the gain in its dasha (planet period) and in its sub-period. Jupiter and Venus may be with the 4th lord. They may be in a corner house, the 4th, the 5th or the 9th. Or the 9th lord, with Jupiter and Venus, may be in the 4th house or its own sign. Then the person becomes a king, the lord of many vehicles.
Simple meaning: Gains come in the period of the strongest lord. Jupiter and Venus well placed may make a king.
कर्मस्थेक्षेत्रचिंतात्रिकभवनगतेसौख्यचिंतामहीजेवागीशेयानभूषावसनहयभवाचामरच्छत्रचिंता ॥
A planet's house shows what the person thinks about: land, comfort, vehicles, sons or learning.
मार्तंडेतातबंधोरथसुतनवमद्यूनगेदानवेज्ये यात्राचिंतानराणामथनवमसुतेपुत्रजावासवेज्ये ॥
The Sun, Venus or Jupiter show thoughts of father, travel or sons. A weak 10th lord harms work.

Key lords in good houses give long life, in middle houses middle life, in falling houses short life.
