Chapter 4 · The Vishakanya Yoga
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.
भौजंगेकृत्तिकायांशतभिषजितथासूर्यमंदारवारेभद्रासंज्ञेतिथौयाकिलजननमियात्साकुमारीविषाख्या॥
Some birth stars, days and moon days, or some planet places, are called the vishakanya yoga by the old texts.
लग्नादिंदोःशुभोवायदिमदनपतिर्द्यूनयायीविषाख्यादोषंचैवानपत्यंतदनुचनियतंहंतिवैधव्यदोषम् ॥
A good planet or the 7th lord in the 7th removes this yoga's bad effect, childlessness and widowhood.
हृद्यैःपद्यैर्गुंफितेसूरितोषेऽलंकाराख्येजातकेमंजुलेऽस्मिन् ॥
