Chapter 2 · The Twelve Houses
भावफलाध्यायः
स्वक्षेत्रेतुर्यनाथस्तनुपतिसहितःस्यादकस्माद्गृहाप्तिःसौहार्दंवासुहृद्भिस्तदितरगृहगश्चेद्गृहालभ्ययोगः ॥यावंतःपापखेटाधनदशमगृहप्रांत्यपैश्चेत्रिकस्थायुक्तास्तावत्प्रमाणाज्वलनवशगताःक्लेशदाःस्युर्ग्रहानुः ॥ ९ ॥
The lord of the 4th house may be in its own sign with the lord of the 1st house. Then the person may suddenly get a house, or the good will of friends. If it is in any other house, he may not get a house. Count the bad planets in the 6th, 8th or 12th house that are with the 2nd, 10th or 12th lord. That many planets, come under the power of fire, may bring trouble to the person. (Our text is unclear here: 'under the power of fire' may mean burnt by the Sun, or that homes may catch fire.)
Simple meaning: 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.
वाक्स्थानेशोगुरुर्वाव्ययरिपुविलयस्थानगोवाग्विहीनश्चैवंपित्रादिकानांपतयइहयुतामूकतास्याच्चताभ्याम् ॥
The 5th lord or Jupiter in a bad house may harm speech. Child lords in bad houses may deny children.
