Chapter 4 · The Vishakanya Yoga
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.
मंदाश्लेषाद्वितीयायदितदनुकुजेसप्तमीवारुणर्क्षेद्वादश्यांचद्विदैवंदिनमणिदिवसेयज्जनिःसाविषाख्या ॥
Some sets of day, star and moon day, or Mars, Saturn and the Sun in some houses, form this yoga.

A good planet or the 7th lord in the 7th removes this yoga's bad effect, childlessness and widowhood.
हृद्यैःपद्यैर्गुंफितेसूरितोषेऽलंकाराख्येजातकेमंजुलेऽस्मिन् ॥
