भावाध्यायः
अंगेशेरंध्रयातेनिधनगृहपतावंगगेद्यूतबुद्धिःशूरश्चौर्यादिसक्तोनिधनपदमियाद्भूपतेर्लोकतोवा ॥देहाधीशेशुभस्थेशुभभवनपतौदेहसंस्थेविदेशीधर्मासक्तोनितांतंसुरगुरुभजनेतत्परोराजमान्यः ॥ ४ ॥
The lord of the 1st house is in the 8th, and the lord of the 8th is in the 1st. Then the person likes gambling and is brave. He may be drawn to wrong deeds, such as taking what is not his. He may meet his death through the king or through people. The lord of the 1st house is in the 9th, and the lord of the 9th is in the 1st. Then the person lives in a foreign land. He follows dharma (right living) closely. He is devoted to the worship of the gods and teachers. He is honoured by the king.
Simple meaning: 1st and 8th lords swapping may bring gambling and danger. 1st and 9th lords bring dharma and honour.
कर्मस्थेलग्ननाथेगगनभवनपेलग्नगेभूपतिःस्यात्ख्यातोलाभेचरूपेगुरुभजनरतोलोलुपोद्रव्यनाथः ॥
1st and 10th lords swapping bring power and fame. 1st and 11th lords bring long life and good work.
लग्नेशेरिःफयातेव्ययसदनपतौलग्नगेसर्वशत्रुर्बुद्ध्याहीनोनितांतंकृपणतरमतिर्द्रव्यनाशीविलोलः ॥
1st and 12th lords swapping may bring enemies and loss. Venus with the 1st lord brings honour.
एवंस्वमत्यासुफलप्रबोधंश्रीजातकालंकरणंमनोज्ञम् ॥
