Jataka Alankara · Chapter 4
विषकन्याध्यायः
This short chapter names the vishakanya yoga, a difficult birth combination for a girl. It gives the star, day and moon day that make it.
It also gives a planet pattern for the same yoga. The chapter then says what removes its effect. A good planet in the 7th house from the 1st house or the Moon is enough.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
विषकन्याध्यायः
भौजंगेकृत्तिकायांशतभिषजितथासूर्यमंदारवारेभद्रासंज्ञेतिथौयाकिलजननमियात्साकुमारीविषाख्या॥लग्नस्थौसौम्यखेटावशुभगगनगश्चैकआस्तेततोद्वौवैरिक्षेत्रानुयातौयदिजनुषितदासाकुमारीविषाख्या ॥ १ ॥
A girl may be born under the Ashlesha, Krittika or Shatabhisha star. It may be a Sunday, Saturday or Tuesday, on a bhadra tithi (moon day) [the 2nd, 7th or 12th]. The old texts call this the vishakanya yoga (a difficult birth combination for a girl). Or two good planets and one bad planet may sit in the 1st house, and two planets in enemy signs. Then too, the old texts call it this yoga.
Simple meaning: Some birth stars, days and moon days, or some planet places, are called the vishakanya yoga by the old texts.
विषकन्याध्यायः
मंदाश्लेषाद्वितीयायदितदनुकुजेसप्तमीवारुणर्क्षेद्वादश्यांचद्विदैवंदिनमणिदिवसेयज्जनिःसाविषाख्या ॥धर्मस्थोभूमिसूनुस्तनुसदनगतःसूर्यसूनुस्तदानींमार्तंडःसूनुयातोयदिजनिसमयेसाकुमारीविषाख्या ॥ २ ॥
The old texts call these births the vishakanya yoga (a difficult birth combination for a girl). It comes on a Saturday with the Ashlesha star on the 2nd tithi (moon day). It comes on a Tuesday with Shatabhisha on the 7th tithi. It comes on a Sunday with Vishakha on the 12th tithi. It also comes when Mars is in the 9th house, Saturn in the 1st and the Sun in the 5th.
Simple meaning: Some sets of day, star and moon day, or Mars, Saturn and the Sun in some houses, form this yoga.
विषकन्याध्यायः
लग्नादिंदोःशुभोवायदिमदनपतिर्द्यूनयायीविषाख्यादोषंचैवानपत्यंतदनुचनियतंहंतिवैधव्यदोषम् ॥इत्थंज्ञेयंग्रहज्ञैःसुमतिभिरखिलंयोगजातंग्रहाणामार्यैरार्यानुमत्यामतमिहगदितंजातकेजातकानाम् ॥ ३ ॥
A good planet may sit in the 7th house from the 1st house or from the Moon. Or the lord of the 7th house may sit in the 7th. Then the bad effect of the vishakanya yoga (a difficult birth combination for a girl) is surely removed. The risk of childlessness and of losing a husband is removed too. In this way, wise astrologers should know all the yogas (planet combinations) of the planets. Here, in this birth chart book, the noble teachers' view is told, as they approved.
Simple meaning: A good planet or the 7th lord in the 7th removes this yoga's bad effect, childlessness and widowhood.
विषकन्याध्यायः
हृद्यैःपद्यैर्गुंफितेसूरितोषेऽलंकाराख्येजातकेमंजुलेऽस्मिन् ॥कन्याध्यायःश्रीगणेशेनवर्यैर्वृत्तैर्युक्तोवह्निसंख्यैर्विषाख्यः ॥ ४ ॥
This book is the Jataka (birth chart reading) Alankara. It is pleasing and strung with charming verses for the joy of the learned. In it, Ganesha wrote this chapter on the girl, named vishakanya, in 3 fine verses.
Simple meaning: Ganesha wrote this chapter on the girl and the vishakanya yoga in 3 verses.
Verse 4.2 calls it a difficult birth combination for a girl. The old texts name it for certain days, stars and moon days.
Verse 4.3 says a good planet in the 7th house from the 1st house or from the Moon removes its bad effect. The lord of the 7th house in the 7th does the same.
The book names the combination and then gives its remedy. Verse 4.3 says its bad effect is surely removed in these cases.
