Chapter 2 · The Twelve Houses
भावफलाध्यायः
भ्रातृस्थानेशभौमौव्ययरिपुनिधनस्थानगौबंधुहीनःस्वक्षेत्रेसौम्यदृष्टेसहजभवनपेमानवःस्याच्चतद्वान् ॥केंद्रस्थेबंधुसौख्यंशुभविहगयुतेस्याददभ्रंनराणांपापैश्चेदन्यथैतत्तदनुनिजधियाज्ञेयमित्थंसमस्तम् ॥ ७ ॥
The lord of the 3rd house and Mars may be in the 12th, 6th or 8th house. Then the person may have no brothers. The lord of the 3rd house may be in its own sign, seen by good planets. Then he has brothers. If it is in a corner house with good planets, people get much joy from brothers. With bad planets it is the opposite. The wise should work out all the rest in the same way.
Simple meaning: The 3rd lord with Mars in a bad house may mean no brothers. Well placed, it gives brothers and joy.
पातालेशःस्वराशौशुभखचरयुतोभाग्यनाथेनयुक्तःसामंतःस्यात्ततश्चेत्सुरपतिगुरुणावाहनेशस्तनुस्थः ॥
A well placed 4th lord gives a chief's rank, honour from kings and many vehicles.
स्वक्षेत्रेतुर्यनाथस्तनुपतिसहितःस्यादकस्माद्गृहाप्तिःसौहार्दंवासुहृद्भिस्तदितरगृहगश्चेद्गृहालभ्ययोगः ॥
The 4th lord in its own sign with the 1st lord may give a house. Elsewhere, it is hard.
यावंतोवाहनस्थाःशुभविहगदृशांगोचरानोभवेयुस्तावंतोवाविरामाःपरमगुणवतांवाहनानांनृणांस्युः ॥
Planets in the 4th not seen by good planets may bring loss of vehicles. Good deeds and peace rites help.
