Chapter 2 · The Twelve Houses
भावफलाध्यायः
यानेशस्तत्रसंस्थोयदिभवतितदायानहेतुर्मृतिःस्याच्चौराच्छस्त्रेणचिंतानवमभवनतोभाग्यजाताविधेया ॥व्योम्नोभूपालभूषावसनहयमहत्कर्मणांप्राप्तिचिंतालाभस्थानेखिलानांव्ययनिधनगृहात्कल्मषाणांविधेया ॥ ३६ ॥
The 4th lord may be placed there. Then there is a risk of death through a vehicle, from thieves or by a weapon. Judge matters of fortune from the 9th house. From the 10th house, judge favour from kings, ornaments, clothes, horses and great deeds. From the 11th house, judge gains of all kinds. From the 12th and 8th houses, judge wrong deeds.
Simple meaning: Each house is judged for its own matters: fortune, work, gains and wrong deeds.
योहीनस्तद्दशायुस्त्वथनिजभवनेधर्मकर्मात्मजेशाश्चेत्स्युस्तेषांदशायांबहुलबलवशाद्धर्मबुद्धिर्नराणाम् ॥
Strong 9th, 10th and 5th lords bring good deeds in their periods. Others may bring loss or sores.
लग्नस्थेरिःफनाथेभवतिसुवचनोमानवोरूपवान्वास्वर्क्षेकार्पण्यबुद्धिर्बहुतरपशुमान्ग्रामयुक्तःसदास्यात् ॥
The 12th lord gives sweet speech in the 1st, stinginess in its own sign and pilgrimage in the 9th.
हृद्यैःपद्यैर्गुंफितेसूरितोषऽलंकाराख्येजातकेमंजुलेऽस्मिन् ॥
Here ends the chapter on the houses, written by Ganesha in 37 fine verses.
