Chapter 2 · The Twelve Houses
भावफलाध्यायः
लग्नेक्रूरेथयातेखलखचरगृहंलग्ननाथेरवींदूक्रूरांतस्थानसंस्थावथदिनपनिशानाथयोर्द्यूनयायी ॥भूमीपुत्रस्तुपृष्ठादुदयमधिगतश्चंद्रजश्चेन्मनस्वीस्यादंधोदुष्टकर्मापरभवनरतःपूरुषःक्षीणकायः ॥ ४ ॥
A bad planet may be in the 1st house. The lord of the 1st house may be in a sign of a bad planet. The Sun and Moon may sit between bad planets. Mars may be in the 7th from the Sun and Moon. Mercury may have risen from behind. Then the person may be proud, yet he may lose his sight. He may do bad deeds and like to stay in others' homes. He may have a weak body. (Our text is unclear here: what 'risen from behind' means for Mercury, and why 'proud' sits in this list.)
Simple meaning: Bad planets around the 1st house, Sun and Moon may bring weak eyes, bad deeds and a weak body.
कोशाधीशःस्वराशौसुरगुरुसहितःसर्वसंपत्प्रदःस्यात्केंद्रेवाथत्रिकेचेद्भवतिहिमनुजःक्लेशभाग्द्रव्यहीनः ॥
A well placed 2nd lord gives wealth. In the 6th, 8th or 12th it may bring want and weak eyes.
शुक्रःसेंदुस्त्रिकस्थोजनुषिनिशिनरःप्राप्नुयादंधकत्वंजन्मांधःसार्कशुक्रस्तनुभवनपतिःस्यात्तदानींमनुष्यः ॥
Venus with the Moon in a bad house at night may harm sight. The same rule works for family members.
भ्रातृस्थानेशभौमौव्ययरिपुनिधनस्थानगौबंधुहीनःस्वक्षेत्रेसौम्यदृष्टेसहजभवनपेमानवःस्याच्चतद्वान् ॥
The 3rd lord with Mars in a bad house may mean no brothers. Well placed, it gives brothers and joy.
