Chapter 2 · The Twelve Houses
भावफलाध्यायः
पातालेशःस्वराशौशुभखचरयुतोभाग्यनाथेनयुक्तःसामंतःस्यात्ततश्चेत्सुरपतिगुरुणावाहनेशस्तनुस्थः ॥संदृष्टोराजपूज्यस्तदनुचहिबुकाधीश्वरोलाभसंस्थोयानंपश्यन्नराणांनिवहमभिमतंवाहनानांप्रदत्ते ॥ ८ ॥
The lord of the 4th house may be in its own sign. Good planets and the 9th lord may be with it. Then the person becomes a chief. If the 4th lord is in the 1st house and seen by Jupiter, kings honour him. The 4th lord may be in the 11th and look at the 4th. Then it gives him as many vehicles as he wishes.
Simple meaning: 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.
विद्यास्थानाधिपोवाबुधगुरुसहितश्चेत्रिकेवर्तमानोविद्याहीनोनरःस्यादथनवमनिजक्षेत्रकेंद्रेषुतद्वान् ॥
The 5th lord in a bad house may mean little learning. In a good house it gives learning.
